Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We have different subtypes for parts, and each subtype has a custom icon. The custom icons are already configured. Many of these subtypes can be an end item. When "end item" is true on the part, we want to add a glyph to the custom icon.Description: I am able to create a custom IconDelegate following this documentation: https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/it/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_UICust_PresentInfoUI_IconDelegates.html But I am not sure how to add more glyphs/adornments. I understand there is the IconCache cache with _addGlyphs() and mergeImages(), but I don't know what is the best way to add another glyph to the class. Has anyone done this before?My workaround would be to create another set of custom icons for each subtype, to be assigned when they are end items.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.4We are in the process of RH1 upgrade from 12.0.2 to 13.0.2. The customization to make wokflow comment mandatory as per CS35488 is not working in 13.0.2 system but its working in 12.0.2 system. There are only 2 instruction available in this support case for 9.0 to 9.1 & 10.0 to 12.1. No instruction available for 13 release. Please suggest.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I want to link latest (master) document to WTPart. I have to relate two types of documents to WTPart version specific and master document document. For this purpose I implemented WTPartDescribeLink and WTPartReferenceLink. The GET method was already available to retrieve the DescribedBy and ReferencedBy and I am looking to customize it for other methods like POST, PATCH and DELETE.Description: I have implemented the WTPartDescribeLink with the help of following ticket attached. I tested it after implementing it and it is working fine.  CS285572 - How to create WTPartDescribeLink / WTPartReferenceLink using Windchill REST Services in Windchill PDMLink Now I am trying the same approach to implement WTPartReferenceLink by modifying PartReferenceLink.js and PartReferenceLink.json files. I just followed the same as for WTPartDescribeLink. the only change was reference to master document as instructed " attributes.add(new A

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Automatically adding a watermark to published PDFs of CAD drawings. Description: Looks like Creo View Adapters 11.0 and above have added a watermark option for NX PDF outputs!! Automatically adding a watermark to published PDFs of CAD drawings.       I verified that this works on 11.0 Adapters and I'm guessing it's using the NX watermarking feature directly. These are all great things because in publish rules I can just add a watermark for the condition I want and it's done!  <additional-files name="UG_drawing_pdf"> <file display-label="PDF" output-prefix="pdf" type="PDF" default="true"> <option name="Colors" value="BlackOnWhite" /> <option name="OutputTextOption" value="AsText" /> <option name="ConvertRasterImages" value="Yes" /> <option name="AddWatermark" value="DO NOT PRODUCE. FOR QUOTING ONLY." /> </file> </additional-files> However: It seems to only add uncapita

We are planning to integrate Windchill system with Teamcenter Enterprise. As per PTC Sales need to buy Windchill external licenses for each user to integrate this systems, which is not feasible at this moment due to project budget limitation.I am looking for possible ways or scenario of integration in which we don't need to buy the licenses. Any suggestion will be more helpful.Thanks,Devidas

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: User opens a top level assembly file, with the NX load options set to "structure only" and "partial load-lightweight". During the opening process, a few hundred files are opened, saved, and closed, before the top level assembly is opened and displayed as "structure only".Description: Using NX 2206.9220 with WGM 12.1.2.1 This issue doesn't occur for every user, and it is one assembly in particular (that we know of).  Normal load time for this assembly as "structure only" is about 1-2 minutes.  For users experiencing the issue, it's an hour or more, and over 200 parts are opened, saved, and closed during the process.  We have looked at NX load options, and the settings are the same. Also of note, in the NX syslog files, there are a large number of "PSM Validation Report---" entries when the opening/saving/closing behavior occurs.  There are no entries for this when a user does not experience the behavior.  Informat

As per the original post.    We are also running Solidworks & WGM and constantly get these files that WGM "thinks" are to be modified, but are not.  UPDATE does not reload (wish it did).  Only fix is to search and reload each file back into workspaces overwriting the file that thinks its being modified, that it thinks its in error (very time consuming) or just ignore them.  I have directed Co-workers to ignore these.  Some users do not know to ignore or reload and so they end up checking these out thinking a change is eminent.  What a mess.   What triggers this, and how can we avoid it?  Lock/unlock does not stop this from happening.  SW ignores these labels.  If we could mark them as read-only, and WGM understand under no circumstances does these get changed... that may do it, but I dont see that function existing.     Any tips or tricks for this, please post.   The explaination above is the first I ha

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: In our change notice flow I have options to "Rework" at the ECN workflow level and also within the change activities as part of the ECN. I want to get a report to count the reworks overall per ECN but seem to be able to get either just the activities, or just the ECN reworks and not both. Description: There are couple of really useful references on Windchill ECN reporting: CS48714 - How to use Query Builder to generate a report to show Change Notice related information in Windchill PDMLink CS336467 - How to link work items of an upstream change object to downstream ones (CR to CN, etc.) CS153902 - Data model   In our ECN flow there are rework routes within the ECN workflow and also within the Change Activity workflows:   All of the above work but they end up only showing the reworks within the ECN workflow and don't display the change activity reworks.    If I go this route with looking at assigned activ

Hello. I am writing java code in Windchill, one of the parts of the code is getting a representation. The REST API has a method for getting representation. How do I use the REST API? How do I get user credentials to send requests?

Is there an api to get Role from user through java code in windchill.

I am following PTC's documentation, and have pretty much copied the exact BOM_RELEASE_RULE. The difference is only that we have not specified <objectContainerPath>. The rule loads correctly into our Promotion Notice rule set. We have other rules within the rule set (attribute rules) that all work correctly. However, the BOM release rule does not seem to trigger a conflict when a BOM component is obsolete. The component is not part of the PN.Here is our rule:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE BusinessRule SYSTEM "standardX20.dtd"> <BusinessRule> <ObjectID> <localId>wt.businessRules.BusinessRule:158927</localId> </ObjectID> <key>BOM_RELEASE_RULE_RELEASED_STATE</key> <selector>BOM_RELEASE_RULE</selector> <name>BOM Release Rule</name> <description>BOM Release Rule ensure RELEASED State</description> <enabled>true</enabled> <updateIfExists>true&

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.1For windchill connector part, beside the part 3D model, we also need to create the mating plug 3D model of them. We use the object CAD/Dynamic Documents to associate the part 3D model to them. Is there another way for us to associate the mating plug 3D model to them as we hope that users can synchronize different associations to distinguish between these two types of 3D model

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: eBOM structure output with the thumbnail view in Excel format.Description: I have a user request for a BOM structure output with the thumbnail view in Excel format. I can see the thumbnail column in the folder display, but I can't add that to my STRUCTURE view. I'm hoping for an OOTB solution, if not, if you know of a tool, please let me know 🙂NOTE: We are not using WTPart currently. So the output will be from the CAD assembly. Calvin

Hello everyone,We are planning a Windchill deployment on an HPE DL320 Gen11 with Windows Server 2022 Standard. We’ll have about 15 users and no Active Directory—this server is dedicated solely to Windchill.Could you recommend:1. Windows Server licensing:• Core‐based packs vs. CALs—what’s the minimum we need for 15 users?2. SQL Server Standard edition & licensing model:• Which SQL Server Standard version is best (2019, 2022, etc.) for Windchill?• Core‐based licensing vs. Server + CALs—what would you choose at this scale?Any insights or links to PTC/Microsoft licensing guides would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Can there be circular dependencies among rules in Windchill or Creo.Example: If rule R0: if A>5 THEN B=4 and rule R1: if B<5 THEN A=4 is an example of circular dependency. It implies that it can be hard to evaluate the order in which rules should be executed and, also, that we may have oscillating values and rule execution that never ends. The rules in Windchill are not SQL Procedures, but stored in SQL tables and exportable to various formats, for example, XML. For example: To define your own rules, you apparently have to write such beasts yourself and then load them using. An example of the subpart to constrain an attribute is:  Where com.ptc.Waiver must be in the range 10..100. We are trying to get a grip on how circular dependencies are, or are not, allowed nd managed when working with rules and constraints in WC and Creo.
