Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Ensure that all WTDocuments associated with a given WTPart have secondary content. If any documents lack secondary content, display a warning popup to the user. If the user proceeds, allow downloading of available secondary content as a ZIP file.Description: In Windchill, WTDocuments can have secondary content such as PDFs or additional attachments. However, not all documents necessarily contain secondary content. When a user selects a WTPart, the associated WTDocuments should be checked for missing secondary content before proceeding with further actions, such as downloading the documents.

Hello,I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.23I would like to programmatically create Variant Specification. As far as I can see in the documentation such customization should be possible.e.g.Sample Code for VariantLoadNavCriteriaBean API but the problem is I cannot findVariantSpecLoaderHelper.service.loadVariantSpecs(beans, partConfigSpecBeans, atoConfigSpecBeans);The classes for 'VariantSpecLoaderHelper' are not present in the Windchill installation and I do have license and I am able to manually create Variant Specification in the system.Can you help me to resolve this issue?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We would like to populate the CAD drawing with the name of the approver and the date that they approved. We currently using the download service as mentioned in PTC documentation here: https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/it/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_ProEWCIntegCustDwnldServiceParamCust.html#Description: However, promote.approvers include all votes. So if Approver1 votes "Rework" in the first pass, and then votes "Approve" in the second pass, their name is printed TWICE, once for their Rework vote and once for their Approve vote. How can we exclude Rework voters and timestamp from being listed in the drawing?

Version: Windchill 12.1 The goal is to compare what licenses are in use, and what the user have.To do that I'm planning to compare what is assigned to them to the list from the Detailed License Usage from license management report. But I only could find a way to get that for users who are directly assigned to a license group. For those who were assigned to a new group and then this group was assigned to a profile group, I couldn't manage to get a report on what license they have. I'm trying to to do that with the business report. I've looked the QML repositories but still haven't found a way to get those indirectly assignment. Does anyone know a how to have that info?

Hi everyone, In my company we have a numbering which goes like; 504-92611301 (ASM)          - 504-92611301-1          - 504-92611301-2          - 504-92611301-3          - 504-92611301-4 But, Creo creates part numbers randomly and i need to rename every single thing one by one. It is okay with several parts but sometimes I have thousands of parts in one assembly. Is there any way to rename parts in an order? Thanks in advance -Enes

Hi,We have just updated our TEST System to 10.2 M030 CPS10 (only released today) and I am trying to compile the CATIA V5 Abstraction dll's for the WGM.I have successfully compiled dll's for CATIA versions 18 to 24, but version 25 fails with the error saying "ERROR - Abstraction or loader files don't exist"It seems a bit strange when setting up the compilation environment as the CATVBTsetup command does not show a Visual Studio checkbox, only showing an Eclipse/IBM Rational Applications one, which I think is indicative that something is wrong (presumably with the CATIA / API / RADE) software - but I have tried this with both GA and SP3 versions of the CATIA software and get the same issue. In which case, others should be seeing this problem too.I have logged a call with PTC, but was wondering if anyone else had seen this?RgdsGary

Version: Windchill 11.0 Use Case: I hope that in the customized function, after entering advanced expressions, the code can filter out the objects that meet the conditions of this expression, and the attributes for filtering are on a certain IBA attribute of these objects.Description: Is there any JavaDoc for Expression in Windchill? Are there any related APIs for filtering and screening? For example, for an existing Expression (AA00 = AA01 / AA00 = AA02), if AA01 is input as True and AA03 is input as False.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.2The documentation related to License Usage Reporting Utility is too generic. We need help to understand what kind of information are extracted by this tool. In particular we don't understand what type of license is "PTC View and Print".Need to understand how to interpret and explain to the customer License Usage Reporting Utility extraction.

Hello everyone,I am currently facing an issue with modifying the default "Required" view in Windchill. Despite having wcadmin permissions, I cannot replace or update this system-level view. Here's a detailed overview of what I've tried and observed:What I Need:I want to replace the existing default "Required" view with a custom configuration that better suits my requirements. I do not want to create a new view; my goal is to overwrite or modify the existing one.The same thing for Edit Multiple Objects  Steps I Followed:I exported the "Required" view configuration to an XML file from Windchill.I added the following TableColumnDefinition to the XML file: <TableColumnDefinition> <name>IBA|fr.satys.plm.SecondaryReference</name> <locked>false</locked> <sortNumber>0</sortNumber> <treeColumn>false</treeColumn> <sortDescending>false</sortDescending> <hidden>false</hidden> <width>

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Recently ran across an issue where a pdf generated through Windchill by way of my NX workers comes back with some of the view geometries not showing on a drawing. When I run that same file through ugbatch.bat, I get the correct output. Is this a CreoView Adapter recipe issue? Or NX settings issue? Leaning toward the former but I don't know what different settings ugbatch.bat (out of the box, in my case) may run to get a different result. Description: Recently ran across an issue where a pdf generated through Windchill by way of my NX workers comes back with some of the view geometries not showing on a drawing. When I run that same file through ugbatch.bat, I get the correct output.   The incorrect result comes from the standard "check in triggers publishing and everything runs through the CAD worker with PDF as additional file format" flow.  If I open the file on my system and export a PDF from NX directly, this exports fine. If I man

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: We are about to start a deletion of our DB Schema and run the uninstall process of Windchill. We have a valid Windchill license enabled. The DB, Backend and Frontend servers will not change, so will we need to have a new license cut from PTC or will the same license HOSTID stay the same so we can just attach the existing license file when needed?Description: We are about to start a deletion of our DB Schema and run the uninstall process of Windchill.

Sometimes by accident or by a third party supplier, the locale of the method server is changed On our case it was because of a third party supplier, we were able to find out thanks to this extra debug trace that would throw a "dummy" error to print to stacktrace and find out who is calling the method setLocale of WTContext I attached the modification here

Hi all, By reading the WRS manual I can see that some tables can be expanded: CR's can be expanded to show AffectedObjects.   /Windchill/servlet/odata/v5/ChangeMgmt/ChangeRequests?$select=Description,AffectedSystem,LastModified,Name,Number&$filter=startswith(Name, 'Foo-')&$count=false&$expand=AffectedObjects   Also the manual shows these available to expand in a Parts query:   $expand=Uses/$ref $expand=AlternatePart $expand=Alternates($expand=AlternateFor $expand=Alternates($expand=Alternate) $expand=Alternates($expand=AlternatePart $expand=SubstitutePart $expand=PartDocAssociations($expand=RelatedCADDoc) $expand=PartDocAssociations($expand=RelatedPart)   These are shown in example code. Are there other table relations that can be expanded? I was hoping to see RelevantRequestData as something which can be expanded. Ok, yes, this is configurable, but what is the default? And which server-side XML configures this? thanks Rick
