With the same user and different supported browsers, default view or any other customized view, we observe the following strange behaviour in the "Where Used" tab for CAD; 1 - if you select all and click "Expand all", some of the levels are not expanded until the last level. This is what users normally do:2 - if you expand level one by one, then it seems to workThis is the result in both cases: Not all the CAD objects have this kind of problem.We have not been able to find a pattern to reproduce this problem, neither calculate the impact of this problem, but when it happens it is always the same behaviour. We have reported this case to PTC Tech Support without any specific solution because PTC is unable to reproduce this behaviour in his environments. Windchill version: 12.1.2.7 Thanks in advance if some of you have had to deal with a similar case. Maite
Hello, could you share your best practices on license management?How do you make sure that user is not double licensed?How do you make sure the user have a license that corresponds to their needs, and not the more expensive one?Do you harvest licenses periodically from users that don't use themIn my company we have groups that are named the same way as purchased license packages and those groups are mapped to corresponding license profiles. However, sometimes users are assigned to more than one group/license type (e.g. Base and Adcanced, or Advanced and Active Daily User). THis leads to overbooking and eventually does not reflect our true needs.
What are inherited attributes and declared attributes?How to use them in Windchill?

I am using Windchill 12.1.2 with the following API to fetch a two level where used for a part, however it is returning Version B (RELEASED) and C (INWORK) for the same part in the results. The results mimic what I see in the Windchill UI on the Where Used tab using the All Revisions view. I want my REST API to return the results as if the Latest view on the Where Used tab is selected. How do I do that in my REST API?https://<wc_host>/Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts('OR:wt.part.WTPart:143038')?$select=Identity,State&$expand=UsedBy($count=true;$levels=2;$select=Identity,State)
Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I wrote/compiled some code to collect and send to a messaging queue a part BOM. Part of this code has two custom classes (BOM, BOMLines). The return of my method is a List but the workflow expression says it "cannot find symbol" for my BOM class. Description: In the workflow expression I have: java.util.List<ext.comp.BOM> myBOM = ext.comp.getBOMSfromECN(cn); ext.comp.Messages.sendToERP("BOM from ECN: " + myBom.toString()); Check syntax in the workflow doesn't like the ext.comp.BOM... WfExpression_88956210.java:72: error: cannot find symbol java.util.List<ext.ursa.BOM> myBOM = ext.ursa.getBOMSfromECN(cn); ^ On the server I have a BOM.java and BOM.class. Originally I had both of my custom classes in my main code but a compilation error said these would have to exist as standalone .java, so they do. How can I use my custom class in a workflow expression? package ext.comp;
Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Cant Retrieve the sequence number and its really pissing me off Description: Hey,How can I retrieve the sequence number for a WT.Part or WT.Document in Windchill using the API?When I create a WT.Part, the number is generated automatically, but I can't find a method to get the next number in the sequence.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have a use case to hide custom table view based on user groups. e.g. view1 should be visible to users part of group1, view2 should be visible to users part of group2,. etc.Description: As a Windchill Admin, I know we can create and share a custom table view to all users or users part of specific Product.Is there a way to hide custom table view based on user groups?
Goal: We want an custom interface showing data from a separate tool within a custom Tab for given record. For Example: Windchill user navigates and open a Change Request 00006#. the View interface shows "Details:,"Process" and "History" tab by default. We want another custom Tab in-place which will appear for all Change Request records and opening the Tab will show data from third party tool linked to the parent record 00006# Questions? 1. How can one add custom tab using(Java/ JS) in Windchill for a given Artifacts like :"Change Request"? 2. how should on embed a custom Iframe with an external Url?
Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am attempting to create a sample process plan to demonstrate the capabilities of Windchill for our company.Description: After creating a process plan with several operations, I was attempting to allocate an associated part to one of the operations. I am continuing to receive the following error message:I have had no issue linking tools, workstations, technicians, etc. Does anyone know why this is happening or any more details I can look into?
Noticed this folder at my site level: I am assuming that this get purged and cleanup at some point. Does anyone know what process, queue or service handles that? What is the frequency? Gives you some insight to the sausage making to that app. Seems like what it does is gathers the content, creates a zip and stores that in a WTDocument at the site level. Then the download link gets that content.
Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Installing Windchill 12.1 OOTB, then install the Windchill Windows Service using the Ant script - now sets the Service logon account to (low privileged - good) "Local Service" instead of "Local System" (high privileged - bad). But, the default permissions on the installed Windchill load point do not allow "Local Service" access to all the necessary files in the load point to start Windchill Successfully (Windchill starts from an Admin Windchill Shell OK).Description: Hi, I think this may be new at 12.1 release (I can't remember seeing this at 12.0)? It seems that doing a default install of Windchill 12.1 via the PSI as Local Admin (which I think is preferred & documented PTC install process?) and then creating the Windchill Windows Service by running the ant script - creates a Windows service that logs on as "Local Service", but this user does not have read access to all the necessary files in the Windchill load point for Windchill t
Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Represent a product in both the design state and manufactured state. Description: Does it make sense to refer to a product prior to manufacturing by the same part number it will have after manufacturing? Should the end result of the manufacturing process be a new number (in Windchill)? If the manufacturing is performed by an outside 3rd party, does that change your answer? Use a weldment as an example and assume the welding is outsourced. If the weldment is used in an upper-level assembly, should it appear as designed with all of the individual plates, or should it appear as a single inseparable (merged) object? When a bill of materials is generated for the upper-level assembly, it seems like it should list a single part number for the purchased weldment, not all of the separate plates required to build the weldment. Based on that logic, should the number representing the unfinished weldment be different fro

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I have a case where I need to be able to control the Subject Line that is displayed in the email notifications triggered by a Subscription. Running a WC 12.0.2.X system.Description: When creating a Subscription, on page 3 (Define Subject and Expiration), the user can input any text they want as the Subject of the Subscription.Therefore, when an email is sent, the Subject Line of the email is the characters inputted in the Subject.I need to be able to still allow users to input whatever subject line they want in the Subject field so that it is still visible in Windchill.But, I want to change the Subject Line that is displayed in the Emails. For workflows, this was fairly simple.I added the following script to the General.html file between the <html> and <head> tags:<SCRIPT language=Windchill> <!-- beginSubject --> </SCRIPT><SCRIPT language=Windchill> <!-- getInitSubject --> </SCRIPT><SCRIPT la
