Windchill Customization

We've gone through a re-brand on our Windchill database to fit in with the culture here at DIRTT. Everything from apache to the graphics. However there is one area that completely eludes me.  I cannot figure out how to modify the "PTC Windchill" ribbon Tab in Autocad. And possibly the "Open from Windchill" button in the open/save area.We've explored the wgm toolkit but that seems like its for writing our own integrations. So now I'm at a point trying to figure out if trying to modify the ac2014adapter_clnt.dll file before the install is the key. However it is a dll file and is compiled already... Has anyone had any experience with this type of modification who may be able to offer some guidance?

Hey, all!  We're trying to complete a workflow task.  When using it against a Routing-based workflow, no worries.  When used against a Transition-based workflow, the task completes but doesn't move to the next workflow step.  Workflow is still running.  Code: ReferenceFactory refFactory = new ReferenceFactory(); WTReference workitemref = refFactory.getReference(obidIn); WorkItem curWorkItem = (WorkItem)workitemref.getObject(); WfAssignedActivity wfAssgAct = (WfAssignedActivity)curWorkItem.getSource().getObject(); ProcessData data = wfAssgAct.getContect(); WfVariable[] list = data.getVariableList(); String associagedOID = (String)list[1].getValueObject(); WTReference wtref = refFactory.getReference(associatedOID); Object workable = wtref.getObject(); Vector results = new Vector(); results.add("Complete"); wfAssgAct.complete(results); Thoughts?

Hello,I need to change Problem Report Notification text as you see below printscreen ? Where is the location of related xml or java etc file ?Thanks in advance

Need to pull a few reports containing the number of files of each type .dwg .asm .gp4 for example... and the amount of space these files/total of each type currently consume.  Trying to plan for integration of other data from acquisitions and future expansion and need these numbers and info to calculate this...running under Windchill 10.2 M040.Thanks!Tim

Please make com.ptc.core.richtext.HTMLText type available for use in user defined attributes in PDMLink, version 10 onward.

Currently, when you delegate your tasks for a specific period of time and there are any tasks that were not completed within that timeframe, they sit until the delegate completes them or reassigns them back to the original owner.It would be nice if the system would automatically switch the uncompleted task(s) back to the original owner upon their return and the end of the specified timeframe.

- In Mentor Graphics xDxDesigner and xPCB Layout we have concurrent designing functionality which allows multiple users to work on the design simultaneously. However the Windchill Workgroup Manager for ECAD which is integrated with Mentor Graphics does not support concurrent designing. Only one user is allowed to check out and work on the design which does not meet the real world scenario. WGM with support for concurrent designing would be of real benefit as it improves productivity and would meet the needs of the ECAD engineers.

Hi Experts,I need to fetch the childNodes in classification. Is there any API to get childNodes in classification?Thanks in Advance.

Hello,is there a way to make a part's attributes not to be editable in release state, but the "Described by Documents" to be still editable?The desired scenario is: the part goes through the release process and will be locked for modifying with one exception: in the table "Described By Documents" the user with a specific role should be able to add Released documents. The "modify" ACL is not good in this case because it will give attribute edit permission also. Is there a way in Java code to bypass the ACL?BR,Tamás

I think is usefull if when compare a CAD structure with a WTPart Structure show the visualizaer tab, like when you compare two WT_Parts sctructure.In this example is when compare two WT_Parts:

can we add additional columns of our attributes in the product structure explorer of MPMlink to edit bill of material.?

Hi,I'm trying to implement a new client view on the part info page. I am happy to know that there is a list of ComponentConfig (see e.g page 260 of PTC Windchill Customization Guide for 11.0F000). Some of them:TableConfigAttributesTableConfigTreeConfigAttributePanelConfig...Does someone know where to find a description or screenshots of the result while using each object ?A description of the hierarchies of the component would also help me a lot : what component could be added (or not) to a component.From the class names, I could implement a prototype with GroupConfig and AttributeConfig. Something like following :The javadoc could not help me so much, and I cannot seriously experiment everything....Best Regards,Loïc

Hi I need information about how can I launch a workflow from a JSP file.Thanks

We put a comment in at check in when we change from the prototype numbering scheme to the released numbering scheme so we can see through History what the old number was. This does not help if all you know is the old number and need to find the new number. How can we search for Comments in previous revisions in Windchill PDMLink?

Hello,Any ideas how I can change the autogenerated algorithm for the Part object Windchill 10 to assign a number between 6AAB00001-6AAB999999 or to set the prefix to 6AAB if that is possible.
