I'm just starting to hunt down solutions to these two issues, and I figured I would post here to see if anyone has had similar issues. I am also looking at PTC community and the PTC.com site.
We are on Pro/E WF5/Creo Elements with Windchill 10.2 (M010 build of WC), Windows 7, SQL
Issue 1 - I...
On Windchill 10.2 promotion step 2 page, there is a radio selection of where to place the promotion request. I believe the first option is to automatically place it and the second option allows you to select. Anyone know how to get the first option selected by default. I haven't found a...
We are getting ready to go live with Windchill 10.2 and Pro/E Wildfire 5.0.
We are currently using Windchill 9.1.
In 9.1, when I open a part in Pro/E (not checked out, just open), the state of the part is shown in the title bar. If I go to the server (vault), change the state of the part, and...
I have a frame (assume a door frame) assembly with some uprights, cross bar, header, ect. All checked into PDM and released. (read only).
User mofifies the header bar by adding 4 holes. (moved part to revision state, checked out, made changes, checked in, etc...)
Now when you open the...
A user is trying to get the quantity displayed in the drawing table to include the " (to indicate inches). He has the repeat region relations working fine to modify the value. However, it throws an error when he tries to include the double quote. Any ideas (other than using two single...
Wildfire 5.0 with Windchill 9.1 M020.
I would like to pull an item out of a family table and make it a stand alone part. Unfortunately the part is used in several different assemblies, all of which have been checked in and promoted to a RELEASED state.
My question is "Has anyone been able to...
In a certain line of packaging equipment, we use cold glue to glue flaps of a container together. The glue is applied with a vendor supplied glue gun. (the gun is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, with a nozzle on one end, and glue supplied from the other, and an electrical solenoid to...
We are using Pro/E WF5/creo 1 and PDM 9.1, about 6 CAD users. Every now and then (once every day), when a user initiates some PDM function (check in or update or part retrieval), PDM becomes non responsive. After a few minutes, the user will get the "server offline..." message. They click...
Before I upgrade my IE from 8 to 9, I figured I check to see if the forum knew of any issues with IE9 and Windchill 9.1 build M20. I am running a windows 7 64bit machine and proe wf5 M160, graphics card is nvidia quadro 4000. Thanks
Back in Aug, I got involved in a casting issue and since then have been drawn deeper and deeper into our internal process. Now I am being tasked with finding alternate casting suppliers. Again, being relatively new to the casting world, I am looking to the forums for some starting points.
I am...
I'm starting to design some parts that operate at elevated temperatures. Some of the design work is done with the part HOT, but some of the design requires the part to be COLD. I know that "generic" proe has the Edit / Scale functionality. However it seems that this isn't a feature, i.e. I...
Yet another annoying WF5 question, hopefully this time I have something set wrong.
When my users are creating an offset datum plane, and the offset is about .75, WF5 keeps displaying the value as 1.0. If they measure the distance between the planes, it is in fact .75. However, clicking edit...
We have one user that prefers to have his message window and dashboards (like the assemble component interface) at the bottom of the screen vs. in between file menu and main graphics window. We just started in WF5. Tools/Customize screen lets me move toolbars and such around, but I am not...
We are just getting going on WF5. We are trying to get our start part mapkeys working. The mapkeys do alot of things during the part creation (run a custom user interface to load parameters, generate a mapkey to load parameters, perform some drawing maintenance, etc). I am having trouble...
We are just now migrating to WF5 from WF3.
In the drawing, I found the ribbon menu to show part dimensions (dims from part, not dims created in drawing).
I was surprised when I right clicked on one of these dims and "delete" was an option. I get the idea of "delete" for dims created in the...
Hopefully this is an easy question. We are looking for a Pro/E font that makes a noticeable difference between the number 0 and the capital letter o, as well as between the number 1 and the capital i.
Thanks

We are in the process of getting more of our process done in PDM/Windchill. This means our ERP person is starting to use PDM/Windchill to move things through the process. One issue we are having is that ProductView will not work on her computer. In a PDM/Windchill window, the thumbnail is...
I've gotten involved with a casting issue, and to be honest, castings are far from my normal subject matter,-- so please forgive me if this question is basic knowledge.
We've had a casting made that resembles a large shoebox. Overall dims are 26in long, 10in wide, and about 6in deep and the...
I just got a new desktop machine. Win 7, 64 bit, 12 gig Ram, W3690 Intel CPU. We are using WF3 M250 and PDM9.1. I was expecting a bigger improvement in being able to handle large assemblies. But alas, when opening something pretty big, I still get Pro to disappear/crash/dump. I am just...
I have an assembly. In that assembly is a sub-assy with a flexible element. (length of IGUS cable carrier, routed a certain way). This sub-assy is used in several different places, each place requiring a different routing of the IGUS chain. (Hence the reason for using flexible element)
The...
