PTC_WM_CREATED_BY and PTC_WM_MODIFIED_BY in WC 10.2

For those that are using PTC_WM_CREATED or PTC_WM_MODIFIED on their drawings, this came through from PTC today:

• Since Windchill 10.2 the value of PTC_WM_CREATED_BY and PTC_WM_MODIFIED_BY contains a bracket with the information “(<username>:<organization name>)"



• The preference User unique identifier display format  controls the format string with the following options:

  1. User name and organisation

  2. Email

This means that starting in 10.2, if you use these system parameters on your drawings, the drawing will now display either just the email address of the user or the organization appended to the username.  Nice.  I wonder how many title blocks will have to be redesigned...  Too bad they can't just add an option for "User Name" to at least maintain previous functionality.
