Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Display the Last Modified date in yyyy-MM-dd format in Office documentsDescription: Hi All, I’m reaching out for advice on a challenge I’ve encountered while trying to display the Last Modified date of a document in Office documents using the Office Worker. The issue lies in the fact that the Last Modified attribute is of the Date & Time type, meaning it includes both the date and the precise time.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS09We are finding in Windchill production that we are filling the vault directory up and it seems like the size seems big. We are seeing where the vault fills in two weeks and last time it filled the PTC person said it was documents. I was also wondering if re publishing the thumbnails would cause this vault to fill up. I would like to know how to minimize the grow and was wondering if republishing tumbnails would cause this. Let me know.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Document publication information (Promotion Date, Resolution Datee and Approvers) comes from windchill processes (PR ve CN) needs written to the drawing when the processes (Promotion Request and Change Notice) is completed.Description: We want to add the promotion date and the person who approved to our Creo drawing. We want this information to be written on the drawing template when the PR approved and document is released. Similarly, when the change process is started on this document, we want to see the resolution date on the drawing.I have seen cases for the promotion date. Although we managed to include it for the first publication, we could not write the resolution date and the user name who approved the change to the drawing as a result of the change notification.We used the following for promotionpromote.approvers and promote.promotionDate. Which fields should we use for the publication process and update the CN process.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS24Some of the users in one of our Contract Manufacturers can see items that are in the middle of changes (In Work, Prototype In Work, etc.) in Windchill.
