Hello all,

In order to support a business decision, I have need to determine a unique count of drawings, parts, and assemblies. PTC support has offered the following sql query, but the numbers don't agree with advanced search results in the Windchill interface using the following search:

Criteria:

Type=CAD Document;Number=*.prt;Iteration=Latest;Revision=Latest;

Context=All Contexts

The sql PTC support suggested was:

select count(*) from epmdocument;

This gives total number of Creo Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings.

select count(*), mas.doctype from epmdocument epm, epmdocumentmaster mas where epm.ida3masterreference=mas.ida2a2 group by mas.doctype;

This cagetorizes into Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings.

Anyone have any experience with a similar objective?

Thanks again all.

As part of one of the Change Notice tasks there is a Set Up Participants function for the Auditor.

Previously, it listed every member listed for that role on the Context's Team page. Because of people moving to other positions within the company, any time this changed I needed to go to every context and swap out the old member and add in the new member.

With a recent redesign of our Change Management workflows, I put these participants into a group. Then I put the group into the role on the Context's Team page. Now if a change happens, I can just edit the group and not have to go into 17 different contexts to make the update. Efficient!

Except now when the Set Up Participants is done, it only shows the group, not the members of the group. The auditor pointed out that it was much faster and easier if every member is listed and he just picks the remove icon for the unwanted participants. Now he has to pick add and type in the username.

Is there a way to allow me to use a group on the context's Team page (for easy updating) yet still list every member of that group in the Set Up Participant page?

Here is what I see now. Previously it would show all the people that could be given the next assignment.

Does anyone have a document that lists the Oracle tables and other items in Oracle that Windchill uses with a description of what each record in the table is used for?

I know it would not be a small document as there are over 900 tables in PDMLink and they vary in size.

If someone has already done this, it save others from having to do the same work again.

If the number of tables changes with different versions, that would be useful information, too.

I am on Windchill/PDMLink 10.0m050 and am looking at 10.2m030.

≪ Previous: PDMLink Oracle Table listings

Everyone was so helpful with my Check out Edit issue maybe someone can shed some light on this Thumbnail issue we are having.

The Thumbnails for the CAD are not displaying. They used to display on check in, but they haven't for some time. Unfortunately the people working on that have left the job so I thought I would try to figure it out.

Here is a picture where it once displayed.

Here is where it doesn't display?

Here is the Publish Monitor show that the above drawing is stuck?

What happens for new drawings, a Part number is created, the user puts in a Drawing Name in the name field. The CAD is saved as the same number and checked in. Windchill creates the CAD record and associates it the Part, but the number is added to the Name field. I'd like to figure out how to change that so that the CAD Name field matches the name field on the Part record. Users end up renaming the CAD record with the right name, but as you see in this Publish Monitor it's trying to Publish something that has since been updated. What do we need to do?

So two issues that may be related?

1. How to allow when the Part is numbered, and named that both the Name and Number fields are copied to the CAD that gets created?

2. Then how do I fix this thumbnail thing?

Exemptions on Supplier Part versus Company Part

≫ Next: Winchill revision/state collector filtering

≪ Previous: Converting files from Windchill back to Relex?

A Supplier Part can be used in multiple applications. The same Supplier Part can be compliant (with exemption) in one application but not in another (exemption not valid). In the current WPA application it only possible to set an exemption on the Supplier Part. Not on the Company Part. This may lead to a wrong analysis since the exemption may not be valid for all usages.

Example:

A Granulate with PAH (restricted by Reach) can be used if applied when not in contact with skin (so exemption valid) but is not compliant for skin contact parts.

How do other users deal with this challenge?

Winchill revision/state collector filtering

September 16, 2015, 5:34 am

≫ Next: Creo exits while trying to rename new .prt

≪ Previous: Exemptions on Supplier Part versus Company Part

The company that I work for uses Windchill 10.1 as a simple check-in/check-out and revision tool without any automation. When a drawing and model file needs to be revised, it is selected from a workspace and the new revision is created there and eventually checked in. The state (in design) of the new revision is also set from the workspace at that time. My problem is that creating a new revision and setting the state of larger assembly files takes a long time because of how the collector wants to list all of the dependents under that large assembly. In addition to that, the Windchill collector default is to bump the revision or state on depenendents that we definitely do not want to change. To get around this I've started using the "search in table" tool within the collector list to display only the files that I need but I was just told that in spite of the window displaying just the files that I want to revise, behind the scenes Windchill will still bump the revision of all the dependents on the original collector list before I filtered the rest out using the search tool. I find it hard to believe that Windchill would modify objects that are not clearly displayed in the collector window. Is this really the way Windchill functions? Is there a way to set the revision/state collector to display only the files that I have explicity selected from my workspace so I don't revise files unintentionally and so it doesn't take so long for the collector to compile its list? I'd really appreciate the help.

Hi all,

Just got one exit of Creo again, this time at a point I really don't understand...

Creo has no data loaded, just working in embeded browser (IE10)

there is a new prt that I want to rename

when I mark this part and klick rename I get the Javacircle and than an exit of creo with traceback.log (see atachment)

This traceback seem to me like a graphic issue but I don't understand why...

somebody here who can help me with this problem?

The problem just happens on one machine, tried this on other systems without bombing Creo but this is always on Testsystem not on produktive system... so not really the same environment.

already tried config option enable_opengl_fbo no like seen on several other discussions but with no effect.

Are all the users of Windchill Quality Solutions prediction FMECA RBD etc. software happy with the way it works. There are a few things I find irritating when I am editing data for instance scrolling through the data table, some fields allow scrolling, others don't. When editing or adding data such as quantities or Descriptions etc, you have to follow by a distinct Return keystroke rather than up or down arrow or what you have typed in is lost. All extra keystrokes ot mouse click that slow down data editing and are an irritation factor.

So any other grips and groans out there?
