i have both creo 6.0 and 5.0(EDU) installed, when i insert mm/DIN fastener it seems to be fine, but if i choose ANSI bolt like 6-32 Socket, it will say csdd.prt not found. i did navigate this file, it's not in  ifx_fastener_data forder  but in prolibrary. i want to know how to add path of prolibrary with  ANSI standard to IFX, or how do i merge  all prt files from prolibrary to ifx_fastener_data folder.

Hi,

if your problem is related to Creo Parametric 6.0, then I can tell you that there is a bug in $CREO_COMMON_FILES\ifx\parts\prolibrary\search.pro file.

Attached you will find original and corrected file.

You cannot merge existing parts into IFX.

To modify the IFX files requires the purchased full license.

The IFX lite distributed for free with Creo 3+ does not allow editing the files.

    Hi Ben,
    I'm not sure if I have IFX full license, but I remember when I was on 3.0 I have no problem with ANSI library. I don't really believe how could DIN standard is requirednfor purchasing while DIN standard is free to use. Not trying to edit file, just trying to get ANSI-English parts working correctly. I'm pretty sure I didn't edit IFX in 3.0 and ANSI just worked fine as DIN.

    Look in your license file for this line:

    # Optional Modules = Intelligent Fastener Extension

    If you have that, you have the full version, I think.

     

    I do not have it in my SE perpetual package file, but that is in the subscription Design Advanced file.

      Hi Martin,
      Thanks for helping me! I'm going to try these today. I talked to my friend who is on 5.0, he said he got exactly same problem. Does that indicates 5.0 got same problem? I skipped the 5.0 and just moved to 6 due to another critical bug in 4.0

      Hi,

      in Creo 6.0.1.0 with wrong search.pro file I get error message

      Model 'E:\PTC\Creo6_010\Creo 6.0.1.0\Common Files\ifx\parts\ifx_fastener_data\csdd.PRT' not found.

      when assembling

      In Creo 5.0.4.0 I can place the same screw successfully.
