Hello,

 

I'm using the AFX extension on Creo 4.0 and everytime I use any of the 8020 profiles, or any slotted profile, the slots never actually appear. Does anybody know why the slots never appear? Thanks!

Hi @RC_10200322 ,

 

the reason for that is to increase performance in bigger assemblies. You can work with AFX with the profiles even if the slots are not displayed.

 

However you can also display the beams in full utilizing the simplified rep tool of AFX.

See here for a detailed description:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

it seems to me that 3rd row in table (on help page), i.e. Screw or dowel pin connections, is not correct.

Hi @MartinHanak ,

 

what exactly is not working or seems wrong? 

BTW: The function covers only IFX screws and dowel pins. Maybe that was the issue.
