I am struggling to control how subtype documents are named, is there anyway to control this? Is there a way to add a note near the name filed with instructions?
How have you solved this consistency problem?

How can I delete parent child relationships in Windchill/Creo 2.0
I created a simple assembly for checking purposes and a permanent reference was attached to the child even though I deleted that child from the parent assembly. I can't get rid of the assembly from my workspace. Please help.

Comparing the attachments associated to different versions of Documents.
Windchill does a great job of comparing the attributes (meta data) and relationships (Uses, References) between different versions / iterations of Documents and Parts.
I am looking for ways to compare content files (Actual file content not just file names) associated with multiple versions of documents.
Use Case: There is an intent to revise Specification documents and update the content of the primary and attachment files. During the review process, users have to track the changes on the newer revision (to make it easier for approvers) for review and apply all of teh changes at a later time.
It will be easier if we can just present the differences between two versions of file attachments (Just like how Software source control differences compute the differences in text of the software files).
In this case, I will know what files are involved. I am looking for a server side (Windchill / Doc Worker /Apache POI API/ Microft technologies etc..) technology that can accept teh files and publish the differences report that looks similar to Office Trach Changes functionality.

Windchill 10.3 (X-26)
Not sure if it will move, but the PTC Product Calendar now is listing a release target for the next version of Windchill.
I'm also starting to see support documents discussing Creo Parametric 4.0. I wonder if maybe that will be released around the same time...
In some ways it's kind of funny. We are finally getting ready to jump from Wildfire 5.0 to Creo 3.0. Maybe we should wait a little longer and just go from Wildfire 5.0 to Creo 5.0. Of course by then it will probably have it's name changed again.

How to associate a part to a document
My requirement is -
there is a soft attribute in my document creation page called drawing number.
This drawing number will take part number as input.
Then it will associate the part with the document.
I have been able to craete the link, the document is shown under Details Page of the Part under Related object tab->Described by Document where as my requirement is
the part should be shown in Document Details Page->Related Objects tab->Describes Parts

Query builder to find unassociated CADs
Hi!
I'd like to find all CAD documents which are haven't associations with WTparts. I need to find which CREO *.prt and *.asm files are not associated with WTparts by any association (owner, contributing image etc.). I've found Document - CS190123 which description is "Query builder to fetch all EPMDocuments which do not have a associated WTPart". It looks like a solution to my problem but when tested it the result was showing also drawings (*.drw), family table members (associated with wtparts) and cad parts which name is different from corresponding WTpart name (these are also associated with wtparts).
Could someone help me to adapt this query to my requirement?

CAD Doc Model Units as Attribute
I know that the model units of measure can not be shown in the model tree, but I'm looking to figure out is the units used for a model's materials density can be mapped and then reported on in Windchill. Perhaps mapping the model mass property includes units that can be reported on (or displayed) in Windchill? Ideas?

Part/End Item Toggle
I thought I had seen before that you could edit a wtPart and change it from a part to an End Item. Looking under attributes for a part, I see a value for End Item = No, but editing the part does not give me access to change this. How do get this so I can change a part to an End Item and back?

Adding Messages to Windchill Page's Header
I have a request to somehow post messages to the Windchill community of a future shutdown. I have seen messages displayed on the Windchill pages, my first intuition was to simply edit the Windchill logo image file, however, it would be nice if someone has figured a more dynamic approach.

Team Center for ProE Files
Along the lines of the good discussion about Agile EC, I'd like to ask
the same question regarding Team Center. What are the experiences out
there for using Team Center?
My exposure: we have a customer that uses TC for ProE and I have been
through their training. A few issues I picked out include;
- Interrupted saving to TC (upload/checkin) can result in
corrupted datasets (implies to me the architecture does not use a server
side cache with validation)
- Ability to check in instances without checking in the generic
- Allows 'Save Up' of an assembly without including new or
modified components
- Save As does not reset the revision of a model
- Including component drawings during top level assembly fetch
requires special technique

Using Multiple Version of Pro/Creo
We've got the requirement that we use multiple versions of ProE (WF2 -
Creo2) and need to keep the files in those formats (customer
requirements). Has anybody worked out a solution for this yet?
Related questions/ideas;
- How to access/display the ProE version the file was last
saved in?
- Could Model Check be used to prevent check-in if the ProE
version was 'wrong'? Or using the same approach that WC uses to block
Failed MC check-ins?
- I think we can separate required ProE versions by context,
can 'Open in ProE' be controlled as to which version is launched?
- Library parts, I would think these would have to be
maintained in WF2. Other thoughts?

SW WGM Multiple Releases
PDMLink 10.1 M010
When using the workgroup manager for SolidWorks, it only allows you to
have one version of SW registered at a time. We have a need to support
multiple versions in order to support multiple customers. Has anyone
else faced this? Solved it?
Approaches I'm thinking of;
- Batch files to either use command line or configuration file
swap prior to launching the WGM.
- Customizing the WGM to remove the check/lock that prevents
registering more than one.
Biggest concern I have, do I have to worry about corruption? Do I have
to figure out a way to force different workspaces and wt caches?
TIA, will post solution if found.

OT: Digitizing Engineering Notebooks
Off Topic,
Has anyone gone and replaced paper engineering notebooks with some sort
of digital content/capture? The PDMLink "Notebook" seems too limited.
Was thinking of One Note, but that does not have any sketching tools.
Mathcad is probably too complex. Vuuch doesn't have sketching either
(that I know of).

using sql to search for Intralink object attributes ?
Is it possible to use sql commands to locate intralink objects based our own created object attributes (such as material, cust_dwg, cust_pn etc) ? So far the only sql queries I've used are for searches such as locating objects promoted to a given release level etc, Marc Mettes helped out with these. Would appreciate any ideas or better yet an example assuming its possible.
