Hi my users want to use PDM Link to be the document and life cycle manager for some point cloud surface modeling software called Leica Cyclone. It generates a native file format called .imp file which has stored within it suface models and associated XML and .jpgs. There are also other native files.I don't need to open these in CREO I just want to use Windchill to track the revisions, give names, and manage their life cycle. Has anyone done something similar to this and if so how did you go about doing it?I am using PDM LInk 10.2 CPS22.Thank you.

Hi all,     How to move the files stored in database as BLOB to the file vault? Could anyone help me in this?Thank you Sumit Patil

I'm trying set the state of all the objects attached to a promotion or CN back to the state when they started the workflow. The problem is the objects could have multiple starting states, either In Work or Development In work, so I can't use code to state state of every object attached to the promotion or CN. I was thinking to query the objects, which could be a combination of WTPart, WTDocument, and EPMDocuments, and maybe finding the maturity history of the latest revision, and setting the state to that initial revision. Problem is, I don't know how to do any of this. Has anyone experienced or written code to do something similar?

Hello Folks,I worked on a listener which attaches a document to the part in "references" table.The scenario is once a document is attached ito a part as described by document then the same document should go to references table (of that part )also.I used the POST_CHECKIN listener and it tells part cannot be checedout as this is not the latest iteration.I even obtained the working copy of teh part then tried to modify.But this works only when the part is checkedout again not in the same checkout.Any one has any idea on which listener i can use so that if a part is checked out to attach a document in described by then taht document should get attached in references also.

Need some help.We have Dynamic Document users who need to check where a Task is used on Publications.By default, the Where used shows all parent items. The trouble is that they need to go to each item to confirm it's the latest version.To make things complicated, we use the same State for the all previous official versions.C: Released for Production          Does not use TaskB: Released for Production          Uses the TaskI can filter to View to only show a state if we only had one version at "Released for Production" if we set the previous to something like superseded or obsolete.
