Windchill Customization

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.

I have gone through <WT_Home>\codebase\wt\clients\saveas<WT_Home>l\src\com\ptc\windchill\uwgm\cadx\saveas these directories and tried to modify but I am not able to see any modifications even after restarting windchill server each time after modification.

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to only show a state if we only had one version at "Released for Production" if we set the previous to something like superseded or obsolete.

NAVSEA has updated  to TE000-AB-GTP-010 to SD-18. PTC should stay current with the applicable derating guidelines, rather thatn have all their users ceate custom derating files for the same common document(s).

Please read the attachment to see example.WQS Table Find and Replace Problem:  The Find and Replace feature seems to only search records that fall under the selected filter. Once the record condition changes it immediately excludes those from the search.  Users are finding this a pain when they are using the Find and replace feature. If they accidental replace the wrong group of data fields assuming that this field is associated to the field included in the current filter can make it a hassle to correct these changes.   There should be a way to allow the find replace feature to work on all datafields currently present in the table regardless on the change to filtered conditions. I was told that when using excel this feature works in this order of operations.  In the example below.  I filtered the deleted datafield by checked boxes only. Then I removed three of the check boxes. Now I tried to Find search for the (xx) value which is in one of the changed records

Hi,     this is my code, i want to update the attributes of the wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2 of existing objects, Thank you in advance.wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2 doc = null;  try {  wt.fc.ObjectIdentifier oid = wt.fc.ObjectIdentifier  .newObjectIdentifier("wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2:15971");  doc = (wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2) wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager  .refresh(oid);  System.out.println(doc.getName());  } catch (Exception e) {  // TODO: handle exception  e.printStackTrace();  }

While using the action 'Edit Part Usage' of Mass Change Operation, if a part for which we are changing the usage exists multiple times in a BOM then the mass change operation should notify that the part exists multiple time.Scenario : When we change the BOM through mass change activity by "EDIT PART USAGE" if a part is in 3 line items in one assembly, and if we input only part no. and part usages (Line Item is Blank) than windchill will update the quantity of all the parts,Proposed Behaviour : When changing quantity for a part If line item is blank then system should notify for the line item selection if part exists more than one line item in BOM so it will help update the quantity for specific line item.

Hi All,I have to write a client to consume 3rd party webservice in windchill. I tried searching in support data base but did not find anything useful.Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.Best Regards,Prakash

In drawings of laser cut parts we include a second sheet with a view scale 1:1 of the unfolded part.All sheets of our drawings are automatically exported to DXFs. These second sheets can be downloaded by Sourcing and used by our suppliers as input to their laser cutying machines.A side effect is that the PDFs automatically created from our drawings will have this extra sheet, which we don't really want.So am I asking, is it possible to tell Windchill to create the PDFs of only the first sheet of these kind of drawings, based on a parameter, for example? In the rest of the PDFs we obviously want the PDF to contain all the sheets.Thanks for any ideasDaniel Garcia

Hello All,What is  the internal name of "DISPLAY-->workspace"  in preference admin?. I need to load this  preference  using LoadFromFile.Thanks in  AdvanceRegardsSenthil

I am missing a feature in the Workspace, mark objacts an add the tha a favourite list. This could be helpful to find the objects faster in a large workspace.Feature should be like this:Simple right klick on a object and select add to favorites. In the new favoite colom you should be able to sort for favorites.I dont know why windchill doesnt provide such a basic feature. Git, Lightromm etc. everybody has some sort of favorite adding feature.PS: I know that there is a my Notebook with Link (I use it to find Modules or large assemblies) but I'm looking for a fearture for fast selection/ navigation within the workspace.Keep up the Windchill imporvemntsBRPascal
