I'm having this same problem with Creo 8. Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Windchill-opening-old-iteration/m-p/693075#M62966 Opening the assembly I see that there are old iteration of subassemblies. Checking inside the workspace I see the same subassemblies at the latest iteration. How could CREO open an old iteration that is not even in the workspace?   If I open the same subassemblies alone they open latest iteration, indicating that the problem is in the assembly. Something is wrong with it and I cannot figure this out.

I need to get the Assigned Date from My Task once the activity is started. Using the self variable, I can retrieve the WFAssignment object that contains all task details. From this, I want to take the Assigned Date, add 5 days to it, and then set that new date to a date attribute using IBA.Can anyone help me with example code that should be written in the Transition tab of the workflow for this?

Hello, is it possible to customize the drawing bundle app, to download additional file formats? I know it's called 'drawing bundle', but can it be modified to also download STEP/IGES files of the related 3D? best regards,Stijn

I am trying to give a user Set State permissions of a document,  but it is not showing in his Actions drop down list. If I open the information page for that document, logged in as the user, and then Edit Access Control, the screen comes up with his name and a list of permissions. Set State is not listed. If I then select the icon for View Access information, it shows that Members have Set State permission set by policy. In the top portion of the screen, it shows that under the Granted permissions is +Set State. I have restarted Windchill after modifying the permissions, but that makes no difference. Windchill 12.0.2 CPS10.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I need to create a automatic process, preferable a worker, to transform CREO drawings to DXF but only the second page and if the model is a PRT, and if possible only sheetmetal.Description: I've seen that PROE worker can output drawings in DXF, but I don't know how to set which files should and should not be used.We already have a PROE worker for thumbnails.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I have thousands of WTParts that need to be renamed and their part subtyped updated.Description: I have thousands of WTParts that need to be renamed. The CAD parts cannot contain a "/", but their P/N in windchill needs a "/". Is there a way to batch associate part numbers using loader or queryspec? Is it possible to rename the WTParts after checkin?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.0The instructions in Article CS36017 do not work as expected. Using this article as a reference, I need to address a similar issue by creating a workflow variable that utilizes my custom class as its data type. This variable should display a predefined set of roles as dropdown values, allowing it to be used as a participant in another activity.For example, Activity 1 which has the variable "Role_of_activity_2" which user will select the role for next activity (Activity 2).

In Manufacturing Associative Product Structure Browser (MAPSB), Can we not copy Assigned Usage Expressions/Line number when user Cut (or Copy) and Paste objects in the Downstream tab to restructure the MBOM. I try to review <Windchill_Home>\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\mpml\xconfs\mpmlink.properties.xconf. But only find the information relate with FindNumber.Need your help. 

As per the original post.    Facing the same problem, but it says hidden by SetStateURLActionDelegate. Can you guide on this issue?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Is it possible to link SolidWorks Family table instances with the Generic drawing through SolidWorks itself, similar to 'Add model' option in Creo?Description: We are using Windchill Workgroup Manager to manage SolidWorks CAD in Windchill.We are also using Family Table instances in SolidWorks (Configurations). One of the issue for us is the procedure to link the Instance CAD/Parts with Generic Table drawing so that the Instances should have link with this Generic drawing. Right now we are using 'Edit Association' from Generic drawing to Link all the Instance Parts with Drawing.But this procedure is highly manual and requires a lot of steps.However, in Creo we have 'Add model' option available in Drawing to associate the Instance CAD with drawing. Is it possible to have such option within SolidWorks too?

I found the article that explains why:  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS242317?source=search And sure enough, I have the "All Users" group in this context added as Guest. But I think this should be a bug or the "spec" is wrong. I am also a Product Manager in this area so the combined rights should allow me to see this report. What do you think? Force the issue with PTC or replace their filter to make the logic take into account a user being in both roles.  Tell me I am wrong but I see no issue to make users Guest to allow all people to see content but then add them again as a member or other role to elevate their rights to allow create and update.   

I have an external MES tool. Aside from static images, I would like to leverage Creo View annotations (including animations) to show step by step procedures. I know I could take the thumbnail annotation images and make it a URL back to Windchill. I can see exporting and importing a PVZ file into the MES tool as an attachment.  What would be really neat would be to have Creo View display in the browser like the Structure visualization tab. This way, the user can remain in the MES page for their operations but have a large graphics windows rendering the annotation set via Creo View webgl. Has anyone done some or all of this?

Hello Everyone,Is it possible to add GUI components like Textbox, Checkbox, Radio Button, Combo Box, and Text Area into an attribute panel using Builders? I was able to achieve this using wrapper tags in JSP. @Override public ComponentConfig buildComponentConfig(ComponentParams param) throws WTException { ComponentConfigFactory componentConfigFactory = getComponentConfigFactory(); AttributePanelConfig attributePanelConfig = componentConfigFactory.newAttributePanelConfig(); GroupConfig groupConfig = componentConfigFactory.newGroupConfig("GUI Componenets"); groupConfig.addComponent((ComponentConfig)componentConfigFactory.newAttributeConfig("date", "Date")); groupConfig.addComponent((ComponentConfig)componentConfigFactory.newAttributeConfig("textBox", "TextBox")); groupConfig.addComponent((ComponentConfig)componentConfigFactory.newAttributeConfig("comboBox", "ComboBox")); groupConfig.addComponent((ComponentConfig)componentConfigFactory.newAttributeConfig("radioButton"

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Phase Access ControlDescription: Remind me please. Is the Phase Access Control on the Lifecycle for a Role the Role in the Context Team or is it applied to the member on the role in the process?What I am wondering is if a named role has edit at a lifecycle phase, do all members of the context team also have edit at that phase or is it just the members of the process itself that are in that Role. I think it's just the process members, just want to check. PTC is not clear on this.Thanks.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: per ASME Y14.35, Section 6.1.5 the "APPROVED" column of the Revision History table is defined as: "Authorized signature(s), name, or approval indicator, as required, shall be entered to indicate approval of the change(s) made to the drawing." When working offline with paper copy, this was traditionally a signature by the engineer reviewing the drawing to signify it had been approved. While working within a PDM system however, the approval is done electronically through a Windchill Workflow, and so this field has a disconnect. Windchill locks the state of the drawing after the engineer approves it, but in order to add the signature of the engineer to the drawing it would have to be modified post approval - which is not allowed by users but if done automatically through a workflow would be acceptable. What my company would like to do is to have is the live and automatic linking of the "approval indicator" (does not need to be a signature or name, co

Hello Everyone,I am trying to add custom html and js scripts to my Windchill UI components. To be specific I have a custom action button in more parts action drop-down menu (image attached). I want to customize its html and add some JS scripts which are to be triggered on click. From my knowledge PTC's official customization guide does not cover such UI customizations, but I have seen others on this forum make some implementations. Any guidance regarding this will be appreciated.
