Windchill log tool
Does anyone know of a good tool to view Windchill logs? I heard Apache Chainsaw would work, but do not see any documentation to support this.

Where in Windchill mem model I do find back a representation added by publishing rule ?
Hi,
We have publishing rules active that will create dxf or step when needed during transit to Released. We can grab these files in windchill, but I wonder how are they stored in the api memory model ? I only get some jpegs and the pdf when asking for the contents of the SECONDARY role. Like with this code:

Step 1 - A project was created
Step 2 - A document structure was created in it
Step 3 - This Project was saved as a Project Template
Step 4 - A new project using the above template was created
The Document Structure did not propagate in the newly created project. However, all the documents were propagated individually

Default option when deleting
I don't think there is a preference but wanted to check with everyone. Is there a preference that allows me to change what the default option is when trying to delete something? I would like it to be Delete latest iterations of each object included in the table.

Change Notice Multiple Paths
I'm working on expanding our Change Notice workflow yet again. I have a situation I think will work (or is at least possible) but want to get feedback before going down this path too far.
At one stage of the CN workflow, there is a Change Manager role that will choose which downstream departments will get CN tasks for each particular CN. I've set it up using the Routing tab with a 'Manual' routing type. The intent is that the Change Manager can choose between one and four routes using check boxes in the assigned activity.
My concern is the AND collector at the tail end of these four routes. If the Change Manager chooses less than the full allotment, will the AND collector stall out the process waiting for the other paths to complete even when those other routes were not chosen by the Change Manager?
The other issue involves the Manufacturing-Engineering path (see image). If the Mfg. Eng. ECO Task has not been completed but one of the other paths does complete, will the system know to pause at that AND collector until the 'Synch on CA Complete' is resolved? Or should perhaps that 'Synch' robot be used in place of the AND collector?
Of course, I appreciate pointing out any other issues you may see.

Windchill Data Model
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me where can I get some information or guide or some material about Windchill Data Model.
I had seen some cases in PTC for workflow or EPM Documents etc.
But if I need it on a whole. Can anyone suggest me some information on where to get some guide for Windchill Data Model.

BeginClassNode,wt.part.WTPart,TestNode,Electronic Parts\CAPACITOR\FIXED,,,,
EndClassNode
I have converted this csv to xml and trying to load the xml, but it is throwing an error "Cannot construct new Classification Structure Default View!".
Please help me to resolve this issue.
What should be the value of refDefName?
Thanks expert in advance.

Running CREO publisher on Different Server
We are running our Creo publisher on a separate server and have recently begun receiving the following error:

Working with PTC on this. Moved the publisher back to the Windchill server, but get occasional memory errors causing the Windchill server to restart. many thanks!

Associate wtpart
Hi ,
In Windchill 10.0 M010, I am already created a WTPart inside Windchill. Now am creating a CAD Document with the same name of WTPart. But when i check in the cad document with out use Auto Associate option.
But after check in the WTPart and CAD Documents are not associated. I read somewhere like if the names are same it will associate automatically.
Whether i have to set any Preference for that???
Thanks in advance..

PDF Files Not Opening
We have a strange situation in Windchill 10.2 m030 CPS9. If we have Excel open a cell active where we are entering something, we are not able to open a PDF document from Windchill. As soon as we close the cell, or if we open it in CREO View, it will open. These are not always an option and the user shouldn't have to remember that it is okay one time but not okay the next time. I'm suspecting that it has something to do with Windchill DTI but cannot figure it out. There are also times where it will take minutes (5+) to even open Excel or Word files to open. (I know a different issue, but I wonder if they are related).
Has anyone else experienced the PDF issue? Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks!

Exploring ThingWorx for Completing Work Item tasks

What are the differences between Watermarks and Stamps on PDFs ?
We have configured and customised Windchill PDMLink to show some of the CAD Document information on native MCAD drawings created with Creo Parametric and SolidWorks, by using a combination of implicit mapping of Attributes and customised copies of the "download delegate" and the Promotion workflows. At the end of the workflows, the Lifecycle state changes and the drawings get re-published by WVS and the cadworkers, to make new PDFs showing the latest version, Lifecycle state, etc. Hence both the native CAD drawings and the PDF viewable copies show exactly the same information in the drawing title block.
The same behaviour is not possible for ECAD applications, such as Creo Schematic or PCBCAD tools from eg. Mentor Graphics, because they have a set of native files that get ZIPed up to make the ECAD Document primary attachments, and the viewables are (typically) made on the client-side automatically during the check-in process. Hence there is no mechanism for sharing Attributes & values between Windchill WGM and the native ECAD drawing files, and no sensible way to re-publish the viewable copies after approval in order to show the new version and state.
Following discussions with PTC and our VAR, and as I have described on another recent posting (add cross-ref. here ...), it seems the best solution for ECAD would be to add watermarks or stamps to the PDFs (copies of drawings, etc, attached to ECAD Derived documents) in order to add and show the missing metadata. I have been searching the PTC websites and the Internet for information about the various ways this might be achieved, and found quite a lot of it is confusing - as the terms watermark and stamp sometimes get mixed up. I have even read about some PDF stamping tools that apply watermarks, and vice versa !
Can anyone confirm or clarify the following tentative conclusions :
I think that stamps may be more versatile than watermarks, as they may be more easily sized and positioned to fill in a title block on different sizes of drawing sheet (A4, A3, A2, A1, A0) ?
I think that stamps are applied on top of the visible information, and that watermarks are applied behind the visible information, and that both can be made opaque or translucent ?
I think that stamps can be omitted when printing PDFs but that watermarks cannot as long as they were created with the relevant options set to prevent them being hidden ?
I think that the watermarking functionality in WVS only works on files viewed in Creo View, and that if a PDF viewable is downloaded it will not show that watermark ?
There are a few, possibly several, third party tools for adding watermarks and/or stamps to PDFs, and of particular interest are the ones that can be used from the command line (using java or javascript, as these might be used in workflows or perhaps with the WWGMTK...), from companies that provide add-ons or consultancy services for Windchill, as mentioned by other users on this forum (eg. Fishbowl, Najanaja, Wincom). Can anyone describe how they have used any of these tools with the ECAD WGM and PCBCAD applications ?

10.2 M030 CPS10 - Has anyone been able to compile the CATIA V5-6R2015 WGM Abstraction dll's?
Hi,
We have just updated our TEST System to 10.2 M030 CPS10 (only released today) and I am trying to compile the CATIA V5 Abstraction dll's for the WGM.
I have successfully compiled dll's for CATIA versions 18 to 24, but version 25 fails with the error saying "ERROR - Abstraction or loader files don't exist"
It seems a bit strange when setting up the compilation environment as the CATVBTsetup command does not show a Visual Studio checkbox, only showing an Eclipse/IBM Rational Applications one, which I think is indicative that something is wrong (presumably with the CATIA / API / RADE) software - but I have tried this with both GA and SP3 versions of the CATIA software and get the same issue. In which case, others should be seeing this problem too.
I have logged a call with PTC, but was wondering if anyone else had seen this?
