Windchill

In my environment, I have my files with the dot ".", such as "11.123.234.prt". I already have automations and integrations based on this format. Is there any way for Creo to use this name with dots or use other parameters created in Windchill to reference and work with my files? And how can I do this?This is the case of a potential client. We already knew, Creo doesn't work with dots in the file name.He already had files with dots. There are already Automations and integrations linked to this format.Can we create a new parameter in Windchill for these files and have Creo use this new parameter to reference these files?Example:The file name is "11.123.00-prt" but in Windchill there is a parameter "CREO_NAME" and Creo searches for and works with this same file by "CREO_NAME" instead of the file name "11.123.00-prt" and still keeps the original name for my system to work with it.Is it possible? How may I do it?In our environment, CAD files follow a naming convention that includes dots (e.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.1.1Given that WIndchill 12.1 will go EOS in 2025, just wondering Creo upcoming 12.0 will still run on our current Windchill 12.1.1.1 or is upgrade to Windchill 13.0 required? Thank you. Edwin

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS22先前原廠顧問協助導入，有提供BIF指令，可以編輯所有程式，請問BIF指令的問題是原廠設定的嗎?是否可提單詢問?近期有其他需求，客製程式需要呼叫廠商提供的第三方元件的jar，但發現BIF時抓不到第三方元件的jar無法編譯成功，進一步排查後，發現我們對 BIF 的操作與設定方式仍不甚熟悉，因此想請問：1. 是否有關於 BIF 的操作說明文件可以提供參考？2. 若需在 BIF 中引用第三方元件，是否需要進行額外的設定或配置才能正確載入？

Version: Windchill 11.0 Use Case: I'm trying to create a Functional FMEA on PTC Windchill 11.0 and I found that the practitioner's guide, eSupport portal and other PTC documents don't provide a real step by step. When I follow what I have read so far on creating FMEAs, there has been always a blocking point and I cannot progress. I'm wondering if do you know a training course or a person who would be available to provide a course on how to create the FMEA from step 0.Description: I struggle to create the FMEA from 0 on PTC Windchill, particularly navigate between the FMEA Tree Items and the FMEA Worksheet.But in general I look for a course. Thanks in advance for your help,  

What all needs to be configured in Windchill to enable the PDF and STEP file generation for a CAD Drawing representation.

I want to convert the current type of object which is a EPMDocument subtype to another subtype of EPMDocument. Will it be possible using wt.epm.util.SoftTypeChangeUtility ?

How can we enable the generation of representation automatically for a CAD drawing. After the drawing has been checked in Windchill, the representation should be created automatically for the same.

Version: Windchill 11.1 Use Case: I've got reports that show the relationship between Promotion Requests and various objects.Description: I've got reports that show the relationship between Promotion Requests and various objects.The reports for Promotion Requests to WT Parts and Promotion Requests to CAD Documents, work fine, showing the iteration of the object released by the Promotion Request. However the report to show Promotion Requests to Documents doesn't show the correct iteration that was released, for example version 1.6 was released by the Promotion Request, issue 1.1 is showing against it on the report. The object type is the only difference between them. I've tried using latest iteration, but when I put that filter on it then just doesn't show that object on the report. Anybody got any ideas? QML of report attached

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Customer sends publish job to worker. It says it failed but the thumbnail is generated.Description: Have a customer that sends jobs to the worker. The worker says job failed but it gives no error and the thumbnail is generate. 

Version: Windchill 11.1 Use Case: We used to be able to do an As Stored view against a Promotion Request to show all items at once, but now we have to go into each drawing individually to review that there are no issues with latest iterations.Description: We used to be able to do an 'As Stored' view against a Promotion Request to show all items at once, but now we have to go into each drawing individually to review that there are no issues with latest iterations, as no option appears for us to do this at the Promotion Request level anymore. This can be very time consuming, does anybody know anything about this? I believe it changed for us a couple of years ago, but we haven't changed the version of Windchill or anything I can think of that might have caused it. PDF attached to show the before and after. 

Version: Windchill 12.0 We manage multiple environments, including a production system, a test system, an integration system, and three separate developer machines. When deploying workflow templates from a developer machine to the integration system, we often struggle to determine exactly what has changed in the workflow template. Manually identifying differences is challenging, as some of our workflows have grown significantly in size—one of the largest contains around 1,000 nodes. This makes each deployment a time-consuming process. To streamline this, we attempted to compare two workflow versions (one from integration and one from a developer machine) by exporting them as ZIP files and using Notepad++’s compare feature to analyze the TAG-NmLoader-0.xml files. While this approach is an improvement over manual comparison, it presents several challenges:  The order of XML elements is not preserved across exports, causing unnecessary differences to be flagged.Wo

We have scanned documents that are not searchable, so we would like to use OCR functionality to create viewables using Adobe Livecycle Server. When enabling the OCR capability we receive an error and it is unclear what the cause is. Any one having experience with configuration of OCR based on Adobe Livecycle Server (ES3)?

Does Thingworx Docker support, windchill Navigate?

Hello Guys,   I have gone through most of the existing posts regarding this topic. Unfortunately I didn't find any answer matching my needs. I am new to windchill customization. We would like to publish only PDF after the drawings are released with promotion request.    I have managed to publish PDF to a WTdocument with AdditionalFilesPostPublishDelegate. However, I would like to auto publish pdf to drawing content as attachment instead of WTdocument.   I was also wondering how do other companies manage dxf files for laser cutting in windchill? Drawing DXF file created through auto publishing are useless for us as we can't feed that directly to machine. Also dxf scalling would be a issue.    Attached publish rule xml file.   Thanks in advance SV

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.8I have the Discussions on my JSP page for Change Tasks. I was wondering if there is anyway to automatically have it expand all without having to hit the Expand button. Is that even possible? I am not finding anything and figured I would ask and see but kind of have a gut feel that it cannot.

My windchill is installed on drive D, and the file electronic repository is also on Drive D. The space on Drive D is full and cannot be expanded. How can I move the current electronic repository to another drive on this computer? Are there any detailed operation steps?

As per the original post.    Hi Randy, can you explain me how you modified the  getControlBranchesOf() method to add SearchConditions to limit the controlbranches to the same viewId? Your support can be very helpful for me. Thanks in advance Luigi
