Guys.. i have a problem, that i wonder if you can help..  i have a part, and i modify it.. and change it.. save it.  then decided i wanted to give it a new part number.  so, i save as, a new part number.. no problem.  however.  i want to duplicate the drawing with this part..

 

so.. i go into workspace.. select the old part, which is modified in my workspace.. and the drawing which is not modified yet.  i do a save as, and i get an error, saying i cant save as, because the part is modified locally.  whats up with that?  i can do a save as of the modified model, in the creo environment, but i cant do it in the windchill workspace?

Thumbnails for Windchill Documents

I have the following problem:

 

If i create a document in windchill i can attach primary content as well as attachments. What i would like to have is a thumbnail for this document.

My problem is:

The only way that i can see to create a thumbnail is by publishing the document which creates a representation and a thumbnail for that representation. But this is exactly not what i want to have. If you click on the thumbnail the representation will be shown and not the primary content file and also not the attachment -- Additionally the representation is stored as an additional File aside the primary content

 

I simply want to to have a thumbnail which opens creo view showing the primary content and the attachments ( This works very well as long there is no representation attached to the document.)

 

Please tell me your experiences

Infoengine webject to get the BOM of all WT Part types

Hello I*E experts,

 

I have the following webject, which gets me the parts (of a particular type ONLY) in the 1st webject and then its usage links in the 2nd part and finally joins them to give the consolidated output.
Now what is happening is it is just returning a single “type” of the part under the parent part “610K1000”, means it just returns the mech type of wtpart and not electrical or any other xyz types created under WTPart parent type. Means I am currently getting a truncated BOM and not full BOM
What is want that this webject should return all parts of all types under a parent WTPart, doing which will give me a full BOM.

I have it 90% setup I think.  When I activate the single sign on it bounces to my windchill server to login in.  It then bounces back to my Thingworx server but I get an error.  Error is to many redirects.  I thought this might just be a browser issue but I have tried all the tricks for fixes I found on line.  As you can guess they did not work.  Any help would be great.  FYI it does kind of work if I don't turn on single sign on.  Although I my search results are hit and miss.  I am on Windchill 10.2 M020.

Is there any way to send Windchill reports on a schedule as email attachments?

Is there any way to automatically run a Windchill report on a schedule and send it out as an email attachment or embedded in the email body?

A Data Monitor will run the report, but it only sends an email with a link to the results in Windchill. I would like a report that can be distributed without requiring a Windchill login.

Currently we use Excel VB to run the reports on schedule and distribute, but it would be nice to do this natively with WC OOTB or with some custom code.

Replacing parts in Assemblies within Windchill

December 18, 2015, 5:11 pm
$

My question is, is there a method with Windchill 9.X to re-link the correct models/filenames to assemblies and drawings?

 

Background:

 

I'm working on a project that transitioned from folders to Windchill. While at the folder stage, various assemblies were siloed, but so were sub assemblies and piece parts. As time went on they renamed parts and some subassemblies, some with related drawings in memory, mostly not, but because they were siloed, this resulted in multiple names for essentially identical models. It also results in a patchwork of versions, where an individual part can appear 20-30 times at different suffix numbers and save dates and renames. Model tree - meet wood chipper.

 

As a further challenge there is a project to upgrade the resulting documentation that has caused further Creo-level Save-As activity, further splintering the models.

 

I don't care to reassemble hundreds to thousands of parts when the internal features are unchanged. Attempts by the upgrade group has seen assembly features go undefined (lots of lost references to section and set datums.)

 

In the Windchill PDMlink User Guide I see a reference to a Save-As option to allow unrelated replacement, but it says that it is off by default to prevent breaking assemblies. What the Save-As preference setting doesn't say is where this replacement can take place and how it is used. I suspect the problem could be readily solved with database level table edits, but that's not going to happen.

 

One thing I have noticed: Assemblies don't care as much about the contents of subassemblies as drawings do. For example, If I have an assembly A that uses subassembly B, and there are two versions of B, one that uses B-1x detail parts and one that uses B-2x detail parts, the top assembly doesn't seem to notice. Items assembled to B-1xs will still be constrained to B-2xs if the B-2x was created by Save-As. The drawing seems to drop detail references as it seems to tie leaders directly to the component name, not to a reference to the component ID chain.

 

As an example of the trouble this can cause - the top level, A. was pulled from it's silo along with all the other parts and subassemblies that go into it before the drawing of B subassembly with all its detail parts and subassemblies, detailed parts renamed in the subassembly silo. Now the detailed parts on the B assembly drawing have different names than are seen in the assembly that uses them. Symbolic version: Drawing of B assembly originally used B-1x parts. This was renamed in its silo to use B-2x parts. Assembly A was pulled from it's silo where it was still using B->B1x parts. Drawing of B was then pulled from its own silo, so it now shows a B assembly which uses B-1x parts and has B-2x detailed items. This means that changes to the detailed parts don't show up on the assembly unless the work is doubled.

Check Boxes not selectable in Windchill

Has anyone experienced issues with selecting the check boxes while using Windchill?

 

We are seeing common yet sporadic reports where the Windchill user cannot place a Check mark in a box for objects list in a WorkSpace or in the Cabinets location. The workaround so far is to Refresh the page then the functionality usually works, but may return at any time. This occurs in the Embedded browser and with a standalone Internet Explorer 11 browser.

Shown is an example.

We are using Windchill 10.2 M030 and Creo 3.0 M050

WTPart - EPM Link getting ignored using OOTB Import/Export Framework WC 10.0

Hi Guys,

 

Need some help here. I am using the OOTB import/export framework for import/export of Objects in Windchill 10.0 M030.

When the EPM Document is imported first in Windchill and the related WTPart later the link between them is not created i.e. is getting ignored.

 

Any idea on how to "not ignore" link creation in any circumstances i.e. irrespective of the fact whether WTPart or EPM Doc is imported first in Windchill,

the link between them should be created.

 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Dear Members,

               Greetings of the day!!

    We have a task to public our Windchill URL to internet so that the remote users can also access the same when they are out of network.

Can someone help us out with the resolution.

Till now we have assigned one Static IP to the Windchill server but when we access Windchill through this the Apache asks for the credentials but after authentication the URL gets change to the Host name of the Windchill server ( e.g. http://host.mycompany.com:848/Windchill instead of 153.xx.xx.xxx/Windchill).

 

Please suggest the solution if anyone of you have faced the same issue earlier.

 

Your support will be appreciated.

Business Rules Framework: Confirm Publish?

Guys,

 

Windchill 10.1 MO10 introduced a “Business Rules Framework” which was utilized to satisfy a couple of our customization requests reducing our customizations and maintenance cost.

  1. Confirm Check-in
  2. Confirm Roles populated

 

The attached document became available at the Windchill 10.1 MO10 release, but we had gotten a pre-release via the Windchill Technical Committee (in 2010, I think) so I am sure improvements have been made to the documentation and framework since then. 

 

We currently have a need for a “Confirm Publish” in 10.2 M030 that we could also embed into a workflow (like we have with the two mentioned above) that would take a look at the associated data in the workflow and confirm all objects successfully published at particular state changes that happen in the workflow. 

 

Any updates, advise or direction to assist would be greatly appreciated to help meet the need of a "Confirm Publish" capability.

In Windchill 11.0 Datasheet (attached to this discussion), it is clearly mentioned that PSM 4.0 can be used with Windchill 11.0. However, PSM 4.0 is not available in the Downloads section (for Windchill 11.0) and also not listed as part of Windchill Supported Software (for Windchill 11.0).

 

Here is a question set:

- Can PSM 4.0 really be used with WNC 11.0 (using the Windchill 10.X System Profile and associated Dashboards)?

- Which exact release of PSM (5.0, ..?) is scheduled for Windchill 11.0?
