Hello Brian,
PTC TS document https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS21115 says that this is not possible until now and a product idea should be created.
I found a Product Idea regarding this topic:
Tool to change the attribute type

We would also welcome such a function / possibility.

What you're looking for is a WindchillDS Password Policy. See the below link for instructions on setting up a policy:

Hi, have a good day.
I'm doing some practices with windchill and trying to understand how it works. Now I have a doubt.
What is the difference between these two prefixes in objects ID
VR:wt.part.WTPart & OR:wt.part.WTPart
Thank You for your time.
Hello
I'm trying to remove 2 parts from my Creo 2.0 workspace, but Windchill insists that they cannot be removed without also removing the parent object. The parent object does not use these 2 parts. How can I break the link between the parent and children?
Thank you
What is the extension of the file to be used and what are the steps to accomplish the import of a project file from one WQS license to another?
<class>:<key> : string representation of an ObjectIdentifier.
OR:<class>:<key> : string representation of an ObjectReference.
VR:<class>:<key> : string representation of an VersionReference.
Snippets:
/* ObjectIdentifier string to WTPart */
ObjectIdentifier oid = ObjectIdentifier.newObjectIdentifier("wt.part.WTPart:20154");
WTPart part = (WTPart) PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(oid);
/* ObjectReference / VersionReference string to WTPart */
ReferenceFactory rf = new ReferenceFactory();
WTReference ref = (WTReference) rf.getReference("OR:wt.part.WTPart:20154");
WTPartpart = (WTPart) ref.getObject();
ReferenceFactory rf = new ReferenceFactory();
WTReference ref = (WTReference) rf.getReference("VR:wt.part.WTPart:20153");
WTPart part = (WTPart) ref.getObject();
The report that was create is able to show all the open task for a Change Notice except the review task.

When running the report all the open task are displayed except the review task..
Does somebody has any idea what is special to the review task?
I am trying to add some users with an ACL for their group to have read-only access to drawings in any state.
As an emergency fix, we put one user in the design group, which has read and write access to drawings and models. This is too much for this group of people.
They are in their own functional group at the Org level as we use their group for sign-off on Change Requests. They want to see the drawings of the items that they are approving, not just the CR text.
I tried assigning them to a read-only group and that did not resolve the issue, but there may be something else with that group.
I tried adding a new ACL for in-work EPMdocumnets, but that is the wrong document type and it did not work.
Looking in Type Manager, I cannot find an icon that matches the drawing icon to get the proper type name for a drawing. Does anyone have a cross-reference list of the Windchill type name to a common engineering name?
Windchill 10.0 m040
Parts, Assemblies and Drawings are all "CAD Documents" in WIndchill - which is a sub type of EPMDocument.
Cannot assign different ACL's to Parts, Assemblies and Drawings.
From an existing Drawing (find one at each state), select Manage Security and then search for a specific user - to confirm and investigate where they are getting their current access from (which specific ACLs).
Just like the title says. If you rename a drawing where it has the file name shown, are you concerned about the published view of the past versions?

If you set publish.republishonepmdocumentchange to true then renaming an epmdocument will republish ALL versions/iterations.
All,
Has any one successfully removed options from the Conflicts window when you modify an object in Creo Parametric that you do not have Checked Out?
We set the Creo config option to default "Continue", but we are looking to remove the "Revise and Check out now" option. Users are inadvertently creating new revisions on top of the one that they are supposed to be modifying. Now instead of working on rev B, they are working on rev C without even knowing.
Thank you in advance
You can in fact sub type CAD (EPM) Docs now but there is still no real way to ensure that users select the correct type on creation - unless all CAD is created directly from template and then populated with files later.
Might be more info than you want, but for objects that are versioned (like WTParts), there are two objects created - the "Master" and the first Version. Certain operations apply to the Master (e.g. Rename). Attributes are applicable to either the Master or each Version (if each Version, they are "Instance based attributes" or IBAs).
The URL is either for the Master object or a specific Version.
Against my recommendations, we have Revise in our standard lifecycle template from the first working state (In Work) to itself. This is one case where the above may apply.
We'd also like very much to not allow users to accidentally select Revise and Check Out (remove this option in the UI shown). Would like them to have to specifically select Revise instead.
The problem is the CAD files will publish on state changes. Meaning when our workflows go back and forth for changes the files change states from Under Review to In Work then back to Under Review. We don't want this.
That is why I created an idea for publishing on Rename only.
Thank You for the information, Mike.
That's kind of what I was afraid of, no break break references option. Thank you for your help.
There is an easy solution by using the EPMDefaultSoftTypes.xml:
You could adjust the file so that for doctype CADDRAWING the subtype is used. But I haven't tried it for PROE files, only for a different authoring application.
