Adding classification images on the creation of parts with PartsLink.

$
0
0

We are using Windchill PDM link 10.2 and we are investigating if the use of Partslink brings any added value for our company.

Therefore i am on a testenvironmant looking how and what can be done with Partslink for catalogue parts.

During the creating of a WTpart you can select the creating classification items.

During the selecting of the classification criteria is there any possibility to add the exiting image from the selected class?

 

The image is automatically shown if you do a search request for existing items, but it would be a great help for the users if they can see the same image during creation of new items??

 

Thanks for the support.

How to share EPDM product data with outside partners?

$

I am trying to understand the best practices for sharing product data within WC with companies/partners/suppliers/co-developers outside our company. At present, the only method I can find is to 'pack' the some or all of product data (meta data, assembly & parts, drawings, and all other relevant data) and send it to the recipient. And when there is an update to the data that has been shared, then do this all over again.

On the recipient's side, they have to 'unpack' the data and load it into their system. We have a few scenarios here:
1. The recipient has WC+Creo - they may be able to take the data 'as is' with very little massaging to get into their system.

2. The recipient has PDM/PLM/CAD from another vendor - they have to find a way to "import" the data into their system, and this may lead to data being neither imported into their PLM system or their CAD system.
3. The recipient has only CAD system - they have to grab the CAD data out of the 'pack' and use it, perhaps after translating it into their native CAD system, if they arent using Creo.

And all of them have to this over again the moment something changes at the sending end to either the metadata or the CAD data.

 

I would like to know if the user community has evolved a set of best practices for each scenario. I would appreciate if people can share their thoughts on how they would deal with this situation in their company.

Calling All WVS Admins: Do you still need the PDF Admin/Install Guides or does the Help Center do the job?

PTC is in the process of migrating product documentation from the PDF book format, accessible through the PTC Reference Documents site, to the searchable Product Help Center format. This raises the question: Does PTC continue to publish the duplicate PDF books?  We'd really like your feedback, before making the decision and specifically, in this case, pertaining to the following Visualization documents:

But also for the following related Creo View and Illustrate documents:

 

So, the question:

Do you guys still want the PDF's and if so, why?

Do you feel normal to need the MODIFY ACL to change the name ?

$
0
0

With MODIFY IDENTITY, you can only change the number and the organization.

You need the MODIFY right to change the name.

 

The name doesn't make the object unique in the DB.

With the MODIFY right, you can change everything (content, number, any attribute, ...).

 

My point of view is that we should be able to change the name with the MODIFY IDENTITY ACL.

 

I need to have people change the name of parts that have previously be released.

I can't give them the right to modify released parts otherwise they could do anything on them.

 

Any advice or opinion ?

 

Thanks.

Does anyone know how to refresh/rehost a server but yet retain prior user settings?

$

I am trying to figure out if there is a way of taking our production settings/code and rehost it on our training server while retaining the current users and rights on the server. Already know how to copy over the code and change all the settings to reflect the new server name and database server. Also we usually take the database and export it/import it into the other database server. Also taking the LDAP and export, rename server name and import it back in to WindchillDS.. The hard part is retaining the users and settings contained in the training server. Anyone ever do that? Thanks!

Setting Date Effectivity on bulk data is consuming lot of time

$

Currently working on a data-migration project where Legacy ERP data needs to be loaded as WTPart.

Created WTParts and the Structures using data dump.

 

Now trying to set Date Effectivity on the loaded parts with respect to the Parent Parts.

Have developed an utility with the help of PTC case CS59121 to load Data effectivity on bulk data.

 

sample code :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EffManagedVersion[] effVers = new EffManagedVersion[1];

effVers[0] =wtpartLatest;

EffGroup effGroup;

String dateStartString = startDate;

Date datestart = sdf.parse(dateStartString);

Locale locale = new Locale("en-US");

startDate = WTStandardDateFormat.format(datestart,WTStandardDateFormat.WF_STANDARD_DATE_ONLY_FORMAT, locale,TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

effGroup = new EffGroup(null,wt.effectivity.WTDatedEffectivity.class,(startDate+"-").trim());

effGroup.setEffTypeModifier(EffTypeModifier.EXACT);

effGroup.setEffContext(wtpartParentmaster);

//EffGroupAssistant.appendEffGroups(effVers ,new EffGroup[]{effGroup});

EffGroupAssistant.appendEffGroupsQuietly(effVers ,new EffGroup[]{effGroup});

PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(wtpartLatest);

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

While loading the Effectivity came to see that some WTParts are being used as BOM Components under n number of BOM Assemblies(WTParts).

It almost took 1 hour to update 170 objects.

 

Now it is consuming lot of time. Please help me in this regard.

 

 

Thanks,

Niranjan

PDME Cad Worker agent

Hi All,

 

I just want to clear something regarding visualization. Visualization for solidworks is not working, I need to configure cad worker agent. Now I open the case in PTC support and ask help for cad worker agent configuration.

They said to add a solidworks cad agent worker, you need a solidworks installed in the server. It is required to install the solidworks in the server? But I have a solidworks running on my client PC. Now, we cant continue the session because we have problem connecting my windchill server to the solidworks license server.   



Thank you,

Luar

How to handle the same model with different colors or materials in Windchill?

 

I have a creo model, say my_screw.asm in Windchill. And I need to manufacture a blue screw and red screw that has two different part numbers.

How do we handle such use cases using windchill? Or another similar use case could be change in material.. where the model from a design perspective is one, but from a manufacturing point of view there are two or more different parts.

 

Can somebody recommend a way to handle?
