3D Part & Assembly Design

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.3.0; in a single view, the hatch of a section is not completely shown. In a different view with the same charatheristics, the hatch is correctly shown.

Hi,I have a large assembly and would like to create a clear, step-by-step single animation. I am planning to use different simplified representations to generate clean exploded views for each stage of the animation.However, in the Animation window, I can only see options to control explode states, timing, and view orientation. I do not see any option to control or switch simplified representations.Could you please let me know if there is a way to operate or include simplified representations within the animation sequence?I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Kind Regards,Sunil Kotte

I've got an odd one and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this/has a solution? I have been using Creo 11 parametric with an educators licence. Yesterday I was creating a fairly basic drawing, upon saving the drawing it crashed on me (this isn't a regular occurrence). When attempting to re-open the drawing it 'loaded' but nothing was displayed, no template, model or annotations. I closed the program and tried to open different drawing, but this time only the template and annotations loaded in, no model visible. Loading parts and assemblies also became difficult, with components not rendering properly. Often models would load in only as wireframe even if a shaded option was selected, also on occasion large orange triangles will be displayed around the part?  After trying various options I uninstalled Creo 11 and re-installed with Creo 12. I am finding that the same issue is still occurring? The drawings sometimes load in partially/completely if I open the part f

I have a simple part (modeled by somebody else or imported).It has some phantom lines that I can't hide.In 3D model space, If I set to "wireframe, no hidden" there are still hidden lines that shine through.Same thing happens if I make a drawing from this part.It may be a configuration setting rather than part issue, since the lines do not show up on other people's machines. Creo 11.Any help will be appreciated. 

Hi All, When applying tolerances to dimensions, if I select Symmetric the box is greyed out so I can't enter a value.  When I select Plus-Minus only one box appears for the minus value. This problem has just appeared and is present if I try to alter the tolerance on the model or the drawing.  I have Creo 5 and 11 installed on my PC and the problem is present in both versions even though they read different config files.  When My Colleague opens the files on his PC the problem isn't present.   Symmetric selected:Plus-Minus selected: Any help greatly appreciated! Kind regards, Clive 

Problem Description:I am having trouble displaying part-level dimensions in a drawing view when both the part and the assembly are in Simplified Representations.What works:Dimensions show correctly in the standalone Part model (both Master and Simplified Reps).Dimensions show correctly in the Assembly drawing if the view is set to the Master Representation.The Issue:When I switch the Assembly drawing view to a Simplified Representation, the part-level dimensions disappear.I want to display the part in its own "Simplified" state (to show specific geometry/features) within an assembly-level view, but Creo seems to lose the feature references required for the dimensions once the assembly "simplifies" that component.Goal:I need to show the simplified version of the part in an assembly drawing view without losing the ability to show model annotations/dimensions for that part.

I needed to do a good cleanout, so I cleaned up all my workspaces then deleted my .wf folder. Not to  unusual but may be the first time since moving to creo 10 (late last year)  that I have done this. I run config.pro option to load my ui customization from my run directory  -  load_ui_customization_run_dir yes I was surprised that after deleting my .wf, I lost my settings even tho I had checked prior to deleting that the one in my startup directory customization ui file was dated recently, which i thought confirmed my location.   What did I miss?

Selecting a feature from the model tree and hiding its visibility will make the feature not visible. Selecting a feature from the model in the workspace window and hiding its visibility places the feature on a hidden layer and it cannot be seen again (even if you make it visible on the model tree) unless you remove it from the hidden layer in the layer tree. I don't understand why I cannot unhide it from the model tree without first removing it from the hidden layer on the layer tree. I primarily use Creo for CAM programming and really have no use for layers, so I find this pretty annoying.  I don't think it was like this prior to going to 10.  Is there a fix for this behavior? Thank you,Matt

I copied an existing drawing that already had an A and B datum that was defined in the drawing as "set datum tags". During the modeling, the attachment points (both shown dimensions in the drawing) were removed. I go back to the drawing, I tried creating datums A and B as "set datum tags" and it tells me they already exist. In the past, i have been successful finding stuff like this with the find tool. Not this time. I tried find in the drawing, every find option I could use. I tried in the model. No luck there. Just to be clear, these are drawing created set datum tags using the "datum feature symbol" from within the drawing. Little red underline on the B datum means it's a duplicate name. The question is, how do I find a missing "set datum tag" within the drawing. I use the term "set datum tag" specifically because that is what it is called and what the find tool found when I created another that it did find in the drawing.        

I'm using Creo 2.0 currently and would like to be able to assign material properties to bulk items in an assembly I have. I want this for reporting the PTC_MATERIAL_NAME parameter in my drawing BOM. In the assembly model in Creo 2.0, there's no way to right-click on a part and assign materials. For each part, I have to open them and manually set the material by going to File -> Prepare -> Model Properties, which is not an option for bulk materials because the only way to access them is through the Relations window. PTC_MATERIAL_NAME is a reserved parameter and cannot be manually added in relations. Do I need to change my BOM settings to a user defined parameter for each part in the model? Any other workaround?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.9.0How to create drawing template in HMX. Is there any option to apply sort and filter in data tables generated by HMX. After generating flattened harness drawing how to change orientation of connector.

Hi, We're using Creo 10.0.6.0 and currently evaluating the ECAD-MCAD Collaboration (ECX) which allows using IDX files. On the ECAD side, we use Cadence. We ran into a snag because we have rigid flex assemblies that use multiple thicknesses, but Creo doesn't support that yet. Many references here:  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/ECAD-board-with-different-thickness/idi-p/814493 https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Support-IDX-4-5-File-format/idi-p/842345 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS262034?source=search https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS302761?source=search We have workarounds to manage these files today using EMN/EMP transfers. I'm interested in learning if others have already found workarounds to manage multiple thicknesses with IDX files.    Thanks, Joe

I am using Creo 11. I have separate .hol file. I want to write code in that .hol file so that "1 X" should not be visible in the hole note. Plz help, how can I modify this line{0:&PATTERN_NO}× /{0:&FASTENER_ID} × {0:&THREAD_DEPTH[.1]}<ctrl-a>/<ctrl-b>{0:&DRILL_DEPTH[.1]}V so that Pattern_No will not visible if the value is 1.

It would be useful if we could repeat a Geo Tol in a drawing without always starting with the simple "tolerance of precision" I seem to remember in the past when it would start with the previous instance.These are in the drawing, not the model. I sincerely hope that's not the problem. In fact that couldn't be the problem because if they were "in the model" they would simply "show" I would rather add the tolerances in the drawings.

Is it possible to add a Datum Reference Frame CSY to an annotation state?  If its not supported now, what work-arounds are people currently using? To my understanding, the DRF must be displayed in the model IAW Y14.41 (2018) Section 11.2.1.    DRF's were optional in Y14.5, but are required in Y41.41. I haven't been successful with "Reference" feature on the Model Tab, or the "Establish DRF" in GDT Advisor.  Example Image from Creo 12Excerpt from Y14.41 for example display of DRF's. 

Hi Folks,I can't find the butt weld option in the welding application ribbon. Any idea where this would be?Thank you.

Hi,with Creo Parametric 12 have you ever seen prohibition sign from event manager staying at the bottom of the bar even if i've already check the issue from event management?thanks

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.6.0I have a part 1 (single body .prt) in which I cut the volume of a part 2 (single body .prt) through a boolean operation.After having modified the part 2, I updated the part 1: the part 2 positionning into part 1 was modified, the part 2 is turned upside-down into part 1.How to (re)define the positionning of part 2 relatively to part 1?

How can the default on drilled holes be changed to 140°?  While 118° may be standard for a lot of drills, almost all of our drills Ø3/8 and up to Ø1-1/4" are 140° inserted tips.  As a Creo NC user, I change models all the time sent to me by Engineering that have holes put in at 118°, just to match the drill that I will actually be using.

Some industry specs tool short cuts in the annotations which may not translate well to the 3D annotation rules.  I'm wondering if some teams have already addressed these?  O-ring GrooveHydraulic PortsO-ring GrooveThe standard o-ring groove dimensions often to to a virtual sharp condition.   Regular o-rings have virtual sharps at the bottom and dovetail have virtual sharps at the top.    Do you use virtual geometry, or special notes, or convert the tolerances to a more GDT based notation?Example groove drawings (Source) Hydraulic PortsIn some of the hydraulic port standards, the dimensions have angles to virtual surfaces.  Do you just redraw to a coinvent real surface, or add virtual surfaces.   (When a standard port is used, we could just specify the Standard Spec)Example J1926 and ISO 6149-1 port images (Source) 

I am trying to set up a company hole table that everyone can use to better format hole notes on our drawings. I have it set up and working well but the one major annoyance is the &PATTERN_NO parameter. I want it included for when there is a pattern but when there is just one hole it displays "1X" Is there a way to add a condition that will not display that is the &PATTERN_NO is 1.Sample CALLOUT FORMAT: &PATTERN_NO X <CTRL-a>n<CTRL-b> &DIAMETER[.1] <CTRL-a>x<CTRL-b> &DRILL_DEPTH[.1] / &METRIC_SIZE &VAR_THREAD &THREAD_DEPTH[.1]Thanks,Josh

Tried harness part/assembly instance/generic. Always get empty report

Creo 11.0.2.0I've used "Options" "Window Settings" "Graphics Toolbar Setting" to place my Graphics Toolbar in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen. When switching between open windows, working in assemblies, etc, sometimes the software just "forgets" to put the graphics toolbar back in one assembly when I activate it.  I can switch to other parts, drawings and assemblies, and it appears in each window. When I go back to that particular window, it doesn't show.  I can't say for sure, but this seems to happen more after I go to assemble a part using the "Separate Window" Component Display option. My current only workaround to get it back is to close the window which has "forgot" the graphics toolbar, and reopen that file. Funky bug. Anyone else with experience on this?

Is it posible to create a Bom table like below?with repeat region? so its start filling left bellow corner. when it reaches the 7th row.then it jumps over to the second collum. Creo 9
