Configuring Multiple File Sync CAD Workers
This section provides instructions on setting up multiple file sync CAD workers for different CAD tools on a single machine.
For example, you can run a file sync CAD worker for SolidWorks and a file sync CAD worker for Autodesk Inventor on the same machine, but you cannot run two file sync CAD workers for SolidWorks on the same machine.
The following environment variable is used in this procedure:
<PTC_WGM_ROOT>
Root folder for each CAD worker
Windchill Workgroup Manager Configuration for File Sync Enabled Worker for SolidWorks
To setup file sync CAD worker for SolidWorks on a single client machine, perform the following actions:
1. Install the Windchill Workgroup Manager client build in the chosen location. For example: C:\Program Files\PTC\wgm.
|
|
Do not register SolidWorks with Windchill Workgroup Manager before setting the required system environment variables.
|
2. Create the following system environment variable.
PTC_WGM_ROOT = <WWGM_Working _directory>\PTC_WGM_ROOT_SWX
3. Create the SolidWorks worker scripts (which includes batch file) swworker.bat in SolidWorks worker setup folder.
4. Register SolidWorks with Windchill Workgroup Manager. This creates SolidWorks registration files at the set location <WWGM_Working _directory>\PTC_WGM_ROOT_SWX.
5. Edit the batch file swworker.bat to add the following environment variable:
set PTC_WGM_ROOT=<WWGM_Working_directory>\PTC_WGM_ROOT_SWX
6. Delete the following environment variable from the system.
PTC_WGM_ROOT = <WWGM_Working _directory>\PTC_WGM_ROOT_SWX

|
• You must delete the environment variable PTC_WGM_ROOT before you set up another CAD worker such as NX worker.
• Restart your machine after you setting up multiple CAD workers; for example, after setting up file sync CAD workers for SolidWorks and NX.
|
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for another file sync CAD worker such as NX.
