Hello,In Windchill on a file page, if the number of general attributes set to show exceeds the General Attributes section the display box resorts to scrolling rather than expanding the box.  Is there an easy settings change or way to make this such that all the attributes are visible and perhaps the box is expanded, the distance between lines is lessened, or the font size is decreased, rather than resorting to scrolling?  A single extra attribute was determined to be important and added to the list of visible attributes in that section but no one bothered to check if it would have any consequences anywhere else.  Now one of the most important attributes and one that I look at 50+ times a day for different objects ) is hidden away.I apologize if this is not the correct section for this or if this is a silly question.  I'm not a Windchill admin or expert and am new to this forum.  I'm just someone annoyed by the behavior of the system (or our system) and hoping t

While exporting the bulk documents list into XLSX or XLS the items in the list should have hyperlink either in Document number or in name.The purpose of the hyper link is, it will be helpful for the users to redirect them directly to the document page in the windchill.For now in our windchill we are having hyperlink on the name after clicking on the name it will redirect us to the information page of the particular document, but if I export the list to the excel(XLSX) then the hyper link is getting missed So we would like to have the hyperlink on the number or name after exporting the documents list into XLSX file.  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Build Associated Parts for Image/Content links.Description: After a "successful" ERP migration was done to build WTParts, some of our CAD was linked to multiple ERP material masters that already had owners. CREO is our future and wanting to make those links Owner. Inventor is second priority while Solidworks is third. How can we make it so the Build Associated Part/Compare CAD to Part Structure tool works for all three cad package assemblies with a single WTPart? We thought the Image association type was the answer but PTC claims "a single CAD document cannot be associated to multiple WC parts using this type.", and we have a lot of CAD in this scenario. Is it best practice to have a one-to-one CAD package type to WTPart? Or do we need to clean up our ERP system?

I have a scenario where there is an attribute (say Sample String1)which has a pair of json values("bat:MRF, ball:stumper, team:csk") Now I will have to display these values as "Attribute-value" pair in a custom Tab which I have created. Note: These Json values are received from another third party tool, we need to display these as attribute value pair in the custom Tab. Need guidance and help on how to achieve this.

When a supplier provides a STEP file, should the CAD be attached to the OEM part or the supplier part?

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 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,
