I am a high school student and my robotics team is using Creo to build our CAD-version robot. I've had two laptops from Catepillar and each one has worked for a bit, then will, for no reason, stop working. I can log on to the server, but then I can't pull up my workspace or the team's cabinets. The browser on load to the point in the picture.
Is there a way to fix this?
We can add add documents as a reference to a part or group.
but my question is there any option to add a single document to multiple part or group.
Hello all.
I am trying to display custom HTML fragment inside the OOTB attribute panel. I already created a controller that generates the fragment.
Can I use this controller to substitute attribute value using Data Utility?
As an example I could use com.ptc.carambola.rendering.HTMLComponent to display custom HTML in the attribute:
HTMLComponent hc = new HTMLComponent("<a href='www.google.com'> Goole Link </a>" );
But I need help figuring out how to dynamically generate that HTML.
Windchill R10.1
Any help is very much appreciated.

I am trying to use the following code to publish the 'As Stored' configuration of ProE files (Winchill 10.1 M030):-
int configSpec = <value>;
PublishConfigSpec publishConfigSpec = new PublishConfigSpec();
publishConfigSpec.setConfigSpec(configSpec);
publishConfigSpec.activateConfigSpec();
Publish.doPublish(
false,
true,
doc,
publishConfigSpec.getEPMActiveNavigationCriteria(),
publishConfigSpec.getPartActiveNavigationCriteria(),
true,
"Rep: "+doc.getNumber(),
"Description",
publishConfigSpec.getStructureType(),
null);
The ConfigSpec Integer parameter was set to 1 when I found this code - this publishes the 'Latest' configuration.
I have tried the following values with these results:-
configSpec = 0; Latest
configSpec = 1; Latest
configSpec = 2; Lifecycle: In Work
configSpec = 3; Latest
configSpec = 4; Effectivity: <date>
configSpec = 5; Latest
configSpec = 6; Latest
configSpec = 7; Latest
configSpec = 8; Latest
configSpec = 9; Latest
configSpec = 10; Latest
configSpec = -1; Latest
Any ideas what value I should use for 'As Stored' Configuration ?
Hi.
Is it possible create Object Reference attribute referred to soft type?
I have the error: "Invalid value for other side class".
When i try to create Object reference attribute referred to hard type, i have an error: "An Attribute of type TypeInstanceIdentifier cannot be created because no database columns of that type are available"
Can anyone provide guide for this?
Thanks.
EPM Document master/ is not unique
I am getting above error when check-in drawings, is there a solution to remove this error or avoid this error
Hi.
I created ObjectReference attribute to my soft type and chose ''Drop Down" selection list style. The result i expected to see a drop down menu of other side class instances. New attribute appears in creation wizard for my soft type but it is marked as Unassignable. (In atrribute properties visibility tab all fields marked as Read/Write)
1. How can this be fixed?
2. Is it possible to restrict list of values by certain soft type of "other side class"?
3. How can i get value of this attribute in java code?
Thanks.
Hi
Can anybody please let me know is there any way to override the new version of windchill part with the old one.
exa. I have created the ABC ASM in windchill and its version is 1.2, now i made some structure change in it and its version became 1.3, later i thought old version is correct, is it possible to go back to old version by overriding the new one?
Thanks
Hi,
I have just installed the Windchill Desktop Integraton tool and am trying to connect to my Windchill Server via Microsoft Office 2010. In the "Configuration" menu, I enter the server location as https://myserver.mycompany.com/EngineeringPortal/app and assign an alias, "MyServer." So far this is the same steps I would follow to register a server within the Creo 2.0 environment.
Next, I would click the "Select Server" menu option and it prompts me for my login credentials, which I provide. I get the error below, and then it says the server is unreachable.
Note: I have also tried connecting to our dev server, with the same result.
Any ideas?
So I wrote a simple report to gather a couple of IBAs that are in my Change Request. The thing is that I need to run this report every day at night. How can I automate running the report and exporting the XML? I am on Windchill 10.1.
Thanks,
Brian
Hey Gurus',
I have created a part wizard having bought-out / inhouse , plate thickness, customer type, plate series as the attributes.
Now on selection of the above attributes, it should auto generate the partnumber with the last 5 digit as the running sequence.
for example, the attribute selection is as follows:
in-house (2), 5mm (50, international (3), 234, running sequence (6789)
so it should generate the partnumber as 2532346789.
Any ideas?
Hello again, I was wondering if now at 10.0 or 10.1 is possible to associate driven enumerations for attributes.
I mean, each attribute associated to a enumerated value list and at object creation, a selection made on the first attribute drives the possible values within the next combo.
If possible, how do I do it?
Regards
We’re running Wildfire 4 M230 with Windchill PDMLink 10.0 M030. We’ve experienced some odd issues after using the “clear cache” function under Tools, Server Manager, Cache Tools. After running this, the user activates a workspace, synchronizes and applies a check out to a file – workspace display updates to include the “checked out” symbol in that row. Open that file and attempt to modify it. Pro/E throws a conflict to the screen indicating the file is read only as it is not checked out and offers the options of check out, continue, revise and check out or cancel. If the user selects check out, it errors out saying the checkout fails because the file is already checked out. ??? Event manager shows “the object has already been checked out by an unknown user”. If I return to viewing the workspace, indeed the file still shows the indicator for “checked out” to that workspace. Attempting to cancel the check out fails with “undo checkout failed. See the event console for more details.” This still leaves the file displaying as checked out. If I synchronize the workspace again everything now starts to behave. Why do I have to synchronize after applying a check out after using clear cache? Similar behavior occurs if the workspace had files that were already checked out but were unmodified before the clear cache. Why does it behave this way?
I opened a call with PTC and the tech’s answer on the phone was to NOT use the clear cache function. PTC recommends checking in and / or uploading all new or modified files you want to keep, deleting any workspaces you can, exiting Pro/E and renaming or deleting the .wf folder. This then forces Pro/E & Windchill to start with a totally clean cache folder structure. He seemed to indicate the use of the clear or clear cache functions from Server Manager is not really “supported” by PTC. Of course he did not document any of those statements in the case number. It looked initially like the clear cache functions would alleviate some weird lockup issues we were having when working in Pro/E and accessing Windchill PDMLink through the integrated browser panel. However, resulting issues with basic functions like check out make me have second thoughts about the clear function.
Has anyone seen odd behavior like this? Have any recommended best practices? I strongly advise my users to keep workspaces to a minimum, use them for a short time for specific task etc., then delete them. However the cache can still grow fairly large which I believe leads to the flakey issues / hangs in interacting with Windchill within Pro/E. Hope was clear would be the magic bullet.
Thanks!

We are using Windchill PDM Essentials.
To publishing the visualized model of products it use a Pro/E License.
But as I read a visualization adapter license on PDM Essentials is included(or asked it to PTC with no charge).
The partner for us said that license is not, a visualization adapter only is included which used Pro/E license to publhsing.
I don't know what it is right.

Hi,
We are looking to integrate Windchill PLM to SAP Integration. Our goal is transfer real time data (BOM, parts) to SAP. We are looking at options on what are the best options here.what are your thoughts on using SOAP based JMS queue concept?
We want to use SAP PI system instead of TIBCO and wanted to see if we need ESI framework in order to do real time integration?
Also what is the best way for error handling mechanism where in scenarios such as if sap pi server is down, can we monitor the failed messages from PTC PLM side and can we resend those message once the SAP PI is up.
Thanks

I get this pop up window every time I navigate to the Relationship Explorer tab. There is a tick box in the bottom of the screen saying "Do not show this page again". I can't even begin to estimate how many times I've selected that option.
How do I actually turn it off?
Is anyone out there using Solidworks and Windchill? I've posted this on the Solidworks Community support site as well.
At my company, we are using Windchill 9.1 M050 with Solidworks 2010 SP4.0. Eventually we will be migrating to Windchill 10.1 and Solidworks 2013. We also run various versions of Pro/E (Wildfire 3, 5, and Creo2). We do run Solidworks 2011 and 2012 as well, just not with Windchill.
My issue is as follows: when renaming components within Windchill, we encountered an issue with an assembly (approximately 850 unique components) opening up missing the recently renamed components. They are listed in the tree with the old name and supressed. To make matters worse, it's not a consistent error and the error cannot be recreated with any sort of repeatability. After components are renamed, the assembly may or may not recognize the name change. And even if the assembly pulls up clean, it may not the next time it is accessed or downloaded to the workspace. We've tried removing and recreating workspaces, had other users tried to repeat the error, but it seems to be completely random when it occurs. Has anyone experienced this? If the error could be repeated with any consistency, I would at least be a bit relieved that we could diagnose the source, but it appears to be completely random.
Help!
We are using windchill 10.1 with Solidworks 2012. Our vendor did a mass upload and we are now having to resolve all assemblies to re-attach the links.
The problems i am having are with new assemblies and existing components in the common space.
Windchill asks for certain components to be checked out in order to check in the assembly.
I am not sure why it is doing this, is there a SW setting or a windchill setting which needs to be changed so this stops.
Items i have found which will make this happen.
1) Older revision SW file
2) Virtual components - These need to be saved as a real component
3) Files built with external references- Each component needs to stand on its own.
The qustion is why does Windchill need parts checked out that have not changed or fall into the above criteria.
Any help is appreciated
Windchill 9.1 with WF5.0 on Windows
In an effort to reclaim disk space, I came across a lot of directories in the /windows/temp directory. The directories are named pva_src.xx (xx are sequential numbers). In these directories are many .xpr files as well as some .prt files. I believe these directories are left over temporary working files for the product view publisher engine/process. I am about to delete these directories if they are more than a week old. Any potential problems that anyone is aware of?
Thanks
