Version: Windchill 11.0 Use Case: Is there a way to pull drawings for every part within an assembly? I have an assembly part number and want to automatically pull every part number and associated drawing within that assembly. Is there a way to automate this or do it really quickly?Description: Not a problem just a question.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Say, we have a large classification tree that has some nodes that need to be moved, others need to be added or deleted automatically.Description: We do not want to do this task with hand (as it will take a lot of time and need to be done on our QA environments first). We also want a script to do this so that in the future, when the tree changes according to our business needs it can be easily done. Though when I was looking for any documentation on how to do this I could not find anything to help me. Currently i am trying to insert a new child node of a child node: root > classification > new node trying to import the following file: <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM "standardX26.dtd"> <NmLoader>    <csvLoader>        <objectType>com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.iba.classification.ClassificationNode</objectType>    &nb

I've been following the posts of the year's on Windchill development and how folks are managing their customizations and their steps for deployment. Being historically untrained and old school, I had opted for simplicity but these "bad habits" might be preventing me for moving forward. I have completed as restructuring of my Git repo and removed Eclipse compiled class files from its management. Just for context, I develop offline on my laptop pushing changes up to Bitbucket then down to the local repos on Dev, Test or Prod as needed. Feel free to throw stones at any point. I can duck, bob and weave.  Now, I have been exploring  methods to automate or script build and deploy to the Windchill directory. Ant seems to be what I've chosen to work with for the moment. Historically, I've made use of the wtSafeArea and wtCustom area to stage updates and the "installSiteChanges" to push into codebase.  I also started looking at tools.xml scripts and it seems that these were desig

How to batch create a large number of users in Windchill

Curious what others are doing. When you deploy apps, do you link directly to them or do you make use of the landing page? I can see my page getting very cluttered soon with an ever growing cluster of "custom apps" appearing at the bottom. I am sure I can create my own front end with direct links to each app but is there a more standard way of modifying the landing page or even making a new one? I can see just a simple reorganization and sorting might be helpful.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: WINDU Issue "CheckoutConsistencyReportDT"Description: Hi there,I ran WINDU and ran into a "potential problem" named "CheckoutConsistencyReportDT".In cs350652 there is a "solution" to alter the corresponding values in the data base.https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs350652It says "Manually update ida3a2ownership and classnamekeya2ownership column values to 0 & null for the problematic entries". But in which table? And how do I find the entry to change?If I run this in the database, I get 114 results. This means, that there are 114 tables with those columns. select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNSwhere COLUMN_NAME like 'classnamekeya2ownership' So, how to fix the CheckoutConsistencyReportDT problem?PS: I tried to send a feedback for the article, but the "feedback feature" does not work.

Hi, I would like to get the same folder and content representation of project container from Windchill to Navigate using ODATA services, I stuck at getting subfolders(level 2+).

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: wt.org.OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class, String,DirectoryContextProvider) we were using the API OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class, String,DirectoryContextProvider) in WIndchill12. But now in Windchill 13 it is replaced by OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class paramClass, Map<String, List> paramMap, DirectoryContextProvider paramDirectoryContextProvider). Previously parameters what we were passing were of type Class - wt.org.WTUser, String - "uid=" + userid and DirectoryConectProvider. now in new version, it is given as passing map, but not sure what should be the key and what should be the value.

Hi all, I am looking for possible options to export and import a BOM Filter in Windchill. Is there any OOTB way to export a filter and import into another Windchill? Or do we have to manually create loader files?

I am new user to this PLM and am in this situation where our company has just migrated files from different Location into Windchill. It now hosts different Documents (word excel and PDF) and CAD Drawing files, but when the files were migrated, we keep it as it is. My goal is to relate different files from different folder based a Role's context (e.g. Engineering or Quality team). Essentially query the migrated files that is only related to this Group of People. Unfortunately, despite that this PLM has Folder to Role access Feature, limiting the Folders that can be accessed based different Teams is not an option right now because we don't have people to maintain that. Meaning every team can see every Folder. We also cannot use the Query Feature which supposed to create Global and Local saved views, which reduces the files being populated in the view OR create some custom view depending on the Role. Rearranging Files and Folder through automatic means might not be good as

I have a requirement where if I add a specific type of WTPart to existing Part in Part structure using OOTB actions "add existing"/"add new", the Parent part to which I want to add child part should not iterate.  For this I have implemented listener and catch the PRE_STORE event and could found the target object which is WTPartUsageLink. From this I got both  roleA and roleB objects, and then I undo check out the roleA (parent) and then created an usagelink and finally tried to save it using PersistenceHelper.manager.insert() APIHere the issue is probably in back end after PRE_STORE , there is PRE_CHECKIN event that might be calling so I am getting exception that unable to find the checked-out copy. Here there will not be any working copy because I undo check out it using WorkInHelper.. API. My overall intension is that parent part should not iterate but need to create usagelink by adding a  child part (of specific type). Note: This I need only when I am trying

Hello everybody, I have a very short question about generating a new attribute including a traffic light. I have created a new integer attribute with the following formula behind:   (state.state == “CANCELLED”) ? 0 : (state.state == “INWORK”) ? 1 : (state.state == “RELEASED”) ? 2 : 3   But when I try to save the changes I get the following warning: "Value entered for Formula is invalid." What am I doing wrong here? Many thanks!

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I am migrating content from 1 system to another and am trying to make it as efficient as possible and avoid exporting documents when I don't need to.Description: I am identifying documents that have been updated by looking at updateStamp and modifyStamp. If a user checks out a document and checks it back in, is there any way to identify if the content of the document changed, or it was just a metadata change event? I am trying to avoid unnecessarily exporting content if it has not changed.

Hello everyone, Our IT department is shutting down all eVPN access due to cybersecurity concerns. Until now, this was the method we used to connect external CAD designers (for co-design on projects or subcontracting) to our internal Windchill database—either via ProjectLink or directly through PDMLink, depending on the use case. Is anyone else facing a similar issue? Do you have any suggestions or alternative solutions? Here’s what we’ve tried so far:Virtual Machine with Creo installed: Unfortunately, the performance was too poor—too slow to be usable.Creo+: We considered this option, but compatibility with our current Windchill setup is problematic. Additionally, the session-sharing workflow doesn’t align well with our needs.Secondary Windchill database with package exchange: This could work, but it’s too cumbersome for users, adds infrastructure costs, and increases our internal workload.We’re looking for a secure, efficient, and user-friendly way to allow externa
