 Windchill Admins and Customizers,
It is finally your turn to learn how to work with Windchill Workflows! This series will shed light on the mysterious ways that workflows work and how you can manipulate them to do just about anything you want with the Windchill API and a little Java grease. I know trying to learn this stuff has always been a big pain to many people but don't worry! I will make it so easy that you will be impressing your boss in no time! In Part 1, we will go over the basics of what a workflow is and do some high level manipulation via the Workflow Administration GUI. You don't need to know how to write code....yet...

 Hello again Creo+PowerShell Followers!
Are you one of those Creo people or know one who leaves their files all over the place? Do you find it impossible and frustrating when trying to locate a file to work on? I may have the solution for you! Today, I am going to show you a fairly simple script that will locate the latest copy of each uniquely named Creo file and copy it to a user-defined folder. Take this as a chance to start over by having all of your files in the same location. You can also use this script to see what folders contain Creo files if you want to make sure you have added all relevant search paths to your config.pro.  Welcome back everybody!
It has been quite some time since I last posted some Creo 4.0 with PowerShell magic and I had the craving to invest more time into it. Today, I would like to introduce you to a PowerShell function that can be used to automate the exporting of family table instances to stand-alone files.  I have seen many customers faced with this issue when they first start using Windchill. They realize that they can search parameter values in Windchill and they either have never used them or they have but have not designated them. Usually, they check everything into their new system and tell everyone to update parameters as they modify files. We all know that will take forever and can be very stressful.
For Part 3, I am going to show you how to automate adding, updating, and designating parameters in your Creo files. I promise it will be faster than your mapkeys.  For part 2, I am going to show you how to automate exporting Creo files to some of the typical third party formats such as PDF, DXF, and STP.
 Welcome Creo users/hackers!
There doesn't seem to be much out there when it comes to using PowerShell with Creo. I will shed some light on this topic and attempt to explain each line so that you can finally start automating Creo related tasks all on your own. Part 1 of a multi-part series deals with the basics. You will learn how to install the appropriate toolkit, configure it to work, and do some basic tasks in Creo like opening a file.  After using PeerBlock for so many years, I wanted to see about providing a PeerBlock type solution to my entire network. Before investing money in a physical system, I decided to try pfSense in a virtual environment to see if it would fit my needs. This "How To" guide walks you through the install and configuration steps along with solutions to any challenges I faced.
