Windchill

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: In the top level Part structure of a car or truck, search for children at all levels with an matching attribute value, ie show all parts within the car made from AluminiumDescription: I need to search attributes of all children at all levels within a Part structure. I want to report on attributes like state and materials for all Parts within a car structure, this may be 6 levels deep. Currently the method being used is to export to excel and use pivot tables. I have previously used a JSP with some java code I wrote to recursively search for children at all levels with a certain state, this works but is limited to a single attribute input, I want to select any usage or item attribute as input and see a filtered list of child parts matching the criteria. Any ideas on what approach to take?

Hello,installed MPMLINK on Windchill 13.0.1.0 and configured but the menu to trasnform the BoM is not available from WTPArt 

So I am going to throw this out there... We are all active members of the community, trying to solve our own problems... But it is important to look through the ideas section and like/comment on ideas if you think they are good suggestions. Short of security issues and specialized partner problems... this is OUR chance to tell PTC what we think would be good in the tool.     

I am using Windchill Foundation & PDM Release N/A and Datecode with CPS N/AHow to display all the BOM components in 1 page in occurrence mode in PDM? Currently, only 500 parts can be displayed in 1 page.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: WTpart BOM structure currently exists at state 'under review'. Would like to see the BOM configuration at its future released state, before it gets to released stateDescription: We have an end item BOM containing 60 items, individual parts and subassemblies.  Its currently being routed on a change notice.  This CN adds and removes some components.  With the state currently being UNDER REVIEW, we do not see the adds or removes.  Is it possible to see the configuration of the BOM it will become when approved or do we need to wait? My group would like to export this BOM at its future state to get a jump on some activities. thanks.

Version: Windchill 12.1   Use Case: I have a scenario that, when user searches for objects, the search results are more than 2000 (Which is above OOTB limit). In this case system troughing warning message that Table size limit reached, and the results object table showing at right top corner that “2000 of more than 2000 objects” and we can click Previous/Next buttons on the bottom left corner to see the other items of search result list. But I want to see the message at top right corner of the table like this “1-2000 of xxxx (total result count)” instead of “2000 of more than 2000 objects”. Is this achievable by standard configuration or we need a customization for this ?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I'm fairly new to this PTC suite, and I'm trying to link Creo, to this. The main use is to manually add WT Parts as well, but I'm unable to.Description: Everywhere I look online, I'm seeing a grey gear icon that has "create new part" in a product folder. However, I'm not seeing that: Note, that the Creo Models folder was manually added. Additionally, I've tried creating a new product with a different template and tried that, and it didn't work.  Any tips in general would be greatly appreciated!

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: What happens to alternates of an obsoleted WTpart?Description: We have a WTPart which represents a packaging item. It is used in approximately 40 different BOMs. If we set up an alternate for this part, when it goes obsolete, will the alternate always remain the part the BOMs will reference? We are trying to avoid touching all 40 BOMs.

Several releases ago, Windchill introduced the concept of “Flexible Links” that allows the network of Change Management objects to be configured based on the rules and practices of your company. Along with the introduction of this capability, a conversion tool has been provided that will migrate the existing “Legacy Links” to their corresponding “Associated Process” flexible link. The tool offers the ability to operate in a “Mixed Mode” so that the legacy objects can be completed in their workflows, or to operate in a “Full Flexible” mode by migrating all existing “Legacy Links” to their equivalent “Flexible Link”. As we plan our next major Windchill release (estimated December 2021), we would like to eliminate the support for the “Legacy Links” completely. This would mean that all Change Management and Quality Management objects have been converted to the “Flexible Links” and the system is operating in a “Full Flexible” mode.   We'd like to hear from you.  We are running a s

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I am trying to add new calculated attributes to the table "Subscriptions" on the Windchill homepage.Description: My idea was to first add these new attributes to the type "wt.notify.NotificationSubscription" and then override the subscriptions-table and add these attributes via code. However, I ended up in a quite confusing situation - the elements in this table are of type "com.ptc.core.subscription.subscriptionObjects.NmCompositeSubscription" which is not available in the Type & Attribute management. But when opening elements of this table they are suddenly of type "wt.notify.NotificationSubscription". The problem is, that I thus cannot add these new attributes, as only the type NotificationSubscription is available in the Type & Attribute Management but apparently this is not the underlying type the table uses. Meaning, that the table does not show any values for these new attributes, but when opening such an element in t

Hi, I have re-allocated the component to the different operation, however it is failed. Followed below steps:Step 1:Created Process Plan (PPL00123) , there are operations in the structure (0111, 0112, 0113 etc..,), allocated component to operation 0111. Pushed to SAP >>> Succeeded. I can see allocated component into "AddedOprBomAllocatedParts"  this tag of XML with operation 0111.Step 2: Revised Process Plan and operation, removed the allocation from 0111, Allocated component to operation 0112., removed the operation 0111 from the process plan structure.  pushed to SAP >>> it is failed. I can see the allocated component into "UnchangedOprBomAllocatedParts" tag of XML. with operation 0112.  If I do not remove the operation 0111 from Process plan structure, it would succeed. Should re-allocated be available in the  "changedOprBomAllocatedParts" tag of XML? or Am I missing something?Can someone please help ? &nb
