Windchill Customization

I created a user-defined dictionary with userdict command from the command prompt. The dictionary file is located at the default location  lib/proximity/userdict, I was under the assumption that the words in the dictionary file would not display the red wavy underline when spelling check is used on an opened document in Arbortext.  However, the words on the document which were also on the dictionary file are still display with red wavy underline. If someone can provide the reasons why and the solutions to make the user-defined dictionary to work as intended, your inputs are greatly appreciated.

Looking for the right way to call this. I have the user object passed in and want to search for change notices created by that user that are still active. Do I have the right call? I saw a message that "CREATOR" was ambiguous when compiling.  QuerySpec spec = new QuerySpec(); int changeNotice = spec.addClassList(WTChangeOrder2.class, true); SearchCondition sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class,WTChangeOrder2.CREATOR, SearchCondition.EQUAL, user.getDisplayIdentifier()); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); spec.appendAnd(); sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class, WTChangeOrder2.RESOLUTION_DATE, SearchCondition.IS_NULL); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); spec.appendAnd(); sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class, WTChangeOrder2.NEED_DATE, SearchCondition.LESS_THAN, timestamp); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); QueryResult lateCN = PersistenceHelper.manager.find((StatementSpec)spec);  

How can I get the "SOFPART" attribute value of the document type object in the promotion?SOFPART contains multiple string values I wrote a code to deal with this situation, but the attribute value is empty. Where am I making a mistake?CODE: try { wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice) primaryBusinessObject; wt.fc.QueryResult qr = wt.maturity.MaturityHelper.service.getBaselineItems(pn); while (qr.hasMoreElements()) { java.lang.Object obj=(java.lang.Object)qr.nextElement(); if (obj instanceof wt.doc.WTDocument) { wt.doc.WTDocument wtdoc = (wt.doc.WTDocument) obj; wt.content.ContentHolder contentHolder = wt.content.ContentHelper.service.getContents(wtdoc); wt.content.ContentItem item = wt.content.ContentHelper.getPrimary((wt.content.FormatContentHolder) contentHolder); com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter persistableAdapter = new com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter(wtdoc, null, java.util.Locale.getDefault(), new com.ptc.core.meta.

Hello,   is there any OOTB possibility to keep attributes synced on WTPart and EPMDoc, when associated by Owner Link and the Attribute names do NOT match?   Thanks & Kind Regards

I have a scenario,consider I am creating the following objects using Windchill Custom API loader.EPMDocument -xyz.prt, versions A.1,B.1,C.1WTPart - abc, versions A.1,B.1,C.1I use the below static methods to initialize the objects.EPMDocument.newEPMDocument(docNumber, docName, authoringApp, docType, cadName) for epmdocumentWTPart.newWTPart(number,name) for wtpart My question:First, when A.1 instance is created, i believe the API also creates its master object in the background. What happens when i move to B.1 creation, with same API code? will it attempt re-creation of master object (or)override  existing master object during B.1 and C.1?

Hi, I have a list of Serial Numbers that I need to "translate" into Base Part Numbers. Is there a WRS endpoint that takes a serial number or list of serial numbers that returns the base part number?  TIA

Hi Everyone,   I've created a data utility and have called in the Type and Attribute Manager to overwrite the UI for one of the out of the box variables on a custom document type. This works when the variable is referenced in one of the document layout pages, however, the attribute I want to modify also appears in the item identification information section of the document and in various other tables throughout Windchill. From my understanding, the item identification isn't defined in the type and attribute manager, but rather through the display identification service.   Is it possible to create another data utility/service to automatically overwrite this ootb attribute (only in this document type) globally, rather than having to register the data utility to the attribute in the Layout window and creating other services which implement different interfaces, such as the DisplayIdentification interface?   Does anyone have any insights or experience creating a global overw

I am trying to get the part configurations, then I will get the structuring of that part using the id of the part configurations, but I have not found an endpoint for this yet. How can I get the part configurations?

I have a requirement to create EPMDocument's in Windchill using Windchill API's..The native CAD files are stored in a folder drive, for which we have a need to create bulk create EPMDocument objects using API.No as-stored, No family table data.I want to create plain EPMDocument's with minimal System OOTB attributes & few custom IBA's.I want to understand how this objects behave in the system when compared with EPMDocument objects that were created using CAD authoring application.Please note I have only one option to create these objects using API.

Hello,   I have been working as a Windchill Developer for more than 2 years. I struggled a lot in the beginning stage to find solution to some of my queries since many of the answers required some pre-requisite knowledge which I did not possess at the time. I am planning to write some articles on the customization topics with basic details so that people like me at their beginning stage could get all the required details in a single place.   Some of the topics I will be addressing are as follows: i)   Listeners ii)  Adding custom actions and Filters iii) Sending/Receiving data between interfaces. iv) Dashboard designing using model view controller. v)  Custom utility to do data correction.   I will update the list on the go and let me know if any topics can be added to the list by you. It would be a great help for all the developers like us.    Thanks.   Regards, HS

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS14We're attempting to update Alternate usernames in our dev environment by using an infoengine task detailed in CS233456. It appears that case is not updating bulk users but a specific user. I was looking for a way to update multiple users. I created an infoengine group of WTUsers (small subset of all users) and tried using the foreach tag to parse through those users to update their alt username but that hasn't worked. I may be missing something and was wondering if there's anyone that could help with.

I am building a very simple edit wizard with an attributes table. Above this table, I want to have a dropdown list of possible role values. I have a data utility that can populate the values. Because this value is an input for the attributes table and its generation, when the data utility changes, the attributes table should refresh to pull the data related to this role.  One thing I am unclear on is how to trigger the table to regenerate when the drop down value is changed. A non-simple example I can think of is the document create wizard when you change the soft-type, the lower section is refreshed.

In this example, customer wants to output ”Iteration“：1,like the ”Revision“   But seems attribute "Iteration" is not in Parts.json,  is it possible to output "Iteration"? Thanks,Eva

Dear SMEs, Can anyone please help me where I can download reloadclipse jar to reload java files in eclipse?I am unable to search it on google.

Hello,We've been using AEM to generate the cover page of WTDocuments for Windchill 12.0_2_7, as per typical usage.While trying to keep the customization at a minimum, we're trying to modify the configuration files (xconf, java, and tpl) to create the Primary Content for a newly created WTDocument custom subtype. I have two questions on the subject:1. I see in the template.properties.xconf that it is possible to define that generators and templates are used based on the document type (for example com.ptc.coversheet.DOCX.template), but is it possible to define a "hook" based on the document type?2. Will the cover page algorithm even trigger if the new WTDocument has no content when created?  Let me know if there's anything I can clarify!

--> Change the symbol for the "out of date" clocksHello, I have 2 questions about the clocks that are responsible for the various "out of date" notices.1.) Is it possible to assign a different symbol to the clock (triangle, dot, square)?2.) Is it possible to use a different symbol for all 3 possible clocks (Out of date, Out of date with Workspaceconfiguration & General Status)? Or do these attributes all use the same symbol template? ThanksHeiko
