- This PTC Windchill tutorial shows a typical day in the life of performing CAD data management with Creo Parametric. It includes:
Creating a workspace
Searching
Add to workspace
Checking out
Checking in
Remove from workspace
Deleting a workspace
Completing a task
Benefits of Windchill for Product Lifecycle Management:
• Complete history of your CAD data with version and revision control.
• Access control over who can view and modify your data.
• Release management.
• Closed-loop Change Management including Fast Track and Full Track workflows.
• Manufacturing Process Management via MPMLink including Manufacturing Bills of Material (mBOMs) and Process Plans.
• Collaborate with customers, suppliers, vendors, and partners with ProjectLink.
• Extend visualization across the enterprise with Creo View.
And much, much more. If you’re interested in finding out more about how your company can realize these benefits, email me at dmartin@creowindchill.com.

Thanks for such informative videos. Keep doing it... 👍👍
Thanks for posting this content, it's very helpful. I think I've watched most of your PTC Windchill videos so far. I work at a medium size company, less than 150 people, less than a dozen people that use CAD in total (probably
At my current company, we use SolidWorks with Windchill. The choice was made because EPDM is, like it says, a tool for the engineering team to manage CAD data. But the company knew that it needed enterprise capabilities to support production and operations, like change management, BOM management, configuration management, and connection to ERP. The recommendation used to be that you should use the PDM / PLM tool made by the company that makes your CAD tool, but that's no longer the case.
Hi Dave, I noticed this assembly uses the bolt in a "generic" form instead of an instance. In one of your videos you specifically said it's a wrong thing to do and people should always create an instance - even exactly the same in terms of geometry - and use it in assemblies instead of generics. So how's it?
It’s an assembly I got from somewhere else. I didn’t have time to remake the assembly when making the video. When you’re making your own assemblies, don’t assemble generics.
If you want to play detective, I know there are a few other videos I’ve made with assemblies from other sources that have assembled generics. In the real world, I’m sure you will find you get models from others with really bad modeling practices.
Hello your videos are great for novice to pro groups. Please guide us the difference between Windchill Intralink and Windchill PDMLink. What is approximate price of Windchill PDMLINK for a company of 10 design engineers ?
Well, there never was a Windchill Intralink. Pro/Intralink was the name of a PTC product for Product Data Management from before PTC acquired Windchill. It doesn't exist anymore.
Also, in the time since I made this video, PTC has dropped the "PDMLink" branding. It's just "Windchill" now.
I'm not permitted to discuss price. Reach out to PTC or your local reseller.
good stuff
What happens if i just open a file directly from windchill and do not add it to my workspace, and then i just close the file after i see the information that i need? Thanks for the video
It automatically gets added to your workspace.
I planning to learn windchill and my system configuration is ryzen5 5500u 8gb ram and 4gb nvidia 1650 graphics card so plz answer me if i can run the software in this configuration for only learning purpose
On the user side, Windchill is browser based. So if you can open a web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, you can access Windchill. If you’re using in conjunction with a CAD tool, you will need to meet the requirements of that CAD tool. I recommend you contact Technical Support of the corresponding CAD company.
Hi Dave, I've a question. Let's assume I download an object from workspace and modify it locally in my pc folder. If I had to synchronise the data from local directory with the one in Windchill, how can I do that?. I'm asking this because, we're working from home now and not having stable connection with Windchill server in cellular tethering.. that's why I'm downloading the model to offline local folder.
Why are you downloading it locally? You know your workspace cache is located on your computer, right? (It's already local.) If you lose network connection, just Work Offline and when your network connection comes back, no longer Work Offline. Downloading to a local folder is an unnecessary step.
@@CADPLMGuy hi i have been offered a windchill developer or consultant role , i come from a pure software background with no mechanical experience or cad knowledge . So basically what i bring to the table is just basic to intermediate level java knowledge , my question how much of this role has to do with writing code ?
@@avonflex5031 If I were you, I would dig deeper into what they expect you to do in this role. I have been a Windchill admin multiple times in my career and I have never written code. I know others who do write code for Windchill but that's when they are doing advanced customization. I would find it difficult to be a Windchill admin without a (physical) product development background.
