3D Part & Assembly Design

Hello everyone,I’m trying to insert a brachistochrone curve into a 3D model in Creo Parametric 10 on the XY-plane using the “Curve from Equation” feature. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get it to work… The only result I get is a short straight line segment.The formula for the brachistochrone curve should be:R = 4.8 (own shoosen radius)X = R * ( T - sin(T) )Y = R * ( cos(T) - 1 )Tmax = 3.142 (= Pi)Can someone help me with this?This is what my result is: 

Hi,I know I'm old and still use Proe WF4 + Intralink 3.4, butI have a question that maybe can be resolved.Even though I have Creo and PDM Essentials, I don't use Creo because I find PDM Essentials inflexible for my situation, but I've already explained the problems in other posts. This is the layer problem.I have a drawing with 5 or more views where I've customized the layers on and off.The layers on and off are the same for each view.With PDM, I swap a part in the assembly, where the AA layer is hidden, with another similar part that also has the AA layer.In the parts, the AA layer is always hidden.Once I regenerate the 5 views in the assembly drawing, the AA layer of the new part is visible again, while the remaining hidden ones remain hidden.Now I have to manually intervene on each view and re-hide it.QuestionEven though the two parts are practically identical (small, non-essential things like rounding and dimensions change), why does the layer reactivate in the assembly drawin

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.4.0Can not mirror part along the plane properly in assembly if selected "Reuse existing model". Works ok if selected "Create a new model". Just toggling that option creates parts in two different locations

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0I want to create a limit belnd between 14 sections, the first one is a rectangle the others 13 are rectangles whose upper edge has been replaced by an arc. Creo doesnt allow me to do that. Why? whant can i do?

Hi,is it possible to perform a calculation based on an if-statement in a drawing repeat region relation?Prerequisite:Model units: mm Kg s I would like to multiply mdl_pro_mp_mass by 1000 if model parameter mass_unit is set to g instead of kg. Something like this:mass_display = mdl_pro_mp_massif mass_unit == "g"mass_display = mdl_pro_mp_mass * 1000endif It's only the IF that doesn't work; the calculation works fine if tested separately. It works in a Post Regeneration relation in the model (using pro_mp_mass instead of mdl_pro_mp_mass), but I would like to not add the relation in the model. Tested on both Creo 9.0.3.0 and 11.0.6.0 Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! 🖖

Hi there,I was creating few annotation in creo drawing, so there i want to add custom symbols in my annotation.I tried to finding where this symbols are saved but i can find it, i found one way but it was for adding pre defined symbols in note (By &sym(symbol name) but that does not work for annotation.so my question is, how we can add custom symbols in annotation (i.e. in Prefix/Suffix).

Hi, I used to use Publish Geometry and skeletons with my Creo3 Advanced XE.I now have a Creo7 Essentials licence.One of Optional Modules : #Optional Modules = ASSY_PERFORMANCE.But it seems that I can't use Published Geometry.Is this normal?Any advice?Thank you 

Hello everyone! Is there a way for select only a portion on a line? For example I want to select one portion of the line with one style and another portion of the same line with a different style. For now i can only select the whole line. In the screenshot i want the part in violet to be a different style from the green one part. Creo allow me to only select the whole line. I found this Advanced Selection Functions  but i can't find this menu, can you please tell me how i can activate it? As always thank you 

Hi, I'm not able to show a component placement dimension (distance constraint) on an assembly drawing in Creo Parametric 10.  Would anyone know what config option needs to be changed or what I need to do to allow dimensions related to component placement to be shown?  I'm able to show dimension for feature internal to the part only. Thanks for any help you may provide,Don A

This is an annoying fringe issue. But I have tables with notes (notes have two lines of string values) and sometimes when I update a string value the note doesn't update in the BOM automatically. Nor does it update when I update tables. It seems to only update when I go to modelling and make sure it's regenerated and go to annotations click on the note and look at the text in text editor and then update tables.  Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Maybe next time it happens I'll check whether it prints the correct info and creo is just showing the old info.

I need to retrieve the X, Y, Z, and C offsets of all components in an assembly relative to the main part’s coordinate system. Ideally, I’d like to export these values into an external file (CSV or TXT).Is there a built-in method or mapkey/API/Toolkit solution to automate this?

Hello,Would it be possible to request an enhancement to ModelCheck?Specifically, I would like ModelCheck to be able to verify the Bend Allowance settings. For example, I would like to check that for sheetmetal parts, the “Bend allowance driven by” option is correctly set to be driven by the material.Even further, I would like to validate that the Sheetmetal Preferences are consistent with the smtdsnsetup.smd configuration file.Thank you in advance if this request could be considered.Adrien Blazy  

Hi AllI have a surface in a copy-geom which references many features in my model.I now want to create a surface feature and remove the copy_geom so that it is no longer dependent  on my skeleton model.Is there a way to reroute all the references in one go?Creo Software version 10.0.8.0

Hi All, I'm resurrecting an old thread as I am curious if PTC have resolved this modelleing limitation in later releases. I did try to message the moderator to reactivate the old thread but was informed it is best to start a new one:  Re: How to model a helical sweep cut that matches ... - PTC Community Does anyone know if this is now possible in later relases? I am currently using 7 but no updates here.  FYI my part does not have a standard helical pitch, I have datum curves generated by co ordinates, so it would not be possible to use the volume helical sweep which I beleive was a new feature added to V 7 to tackle this issue for set pitches.

Hello everyone, i am struggling with an issues and need some help. I created new line styles, I create them from "manage line style" and click on "new". I can't use them only in that specific drawing and i want to be able to use in any another drawings. How i can do that? I was looking to find the file where every default style is (geometry, hidden ecc), where the "line stye gallery" takes from but i am not have been able to find it. I found this Adding Custom Line Sytles to be used in Detailing - PTC Community and this Article - CS62031 - Is it possible to store *.lsl Line Font files in a specific directory in Creo Parametric The issues is that i can't find any .lsl file to copy from and know what to write to create this file.Aboute the template method mentioned in those links, it is possible to define a drawing template with line in it? Maybe i should fine the correct enviroment to create line add them to the options?  Thank you for r

Hi I need an example code for attaching custom symbol/Annotation Balloon  to dimension(Prefix/Suffix) based on the dimension displayed in the drawing . (Thanks in Advance)

Hello,we are using Creo 12.4.0.0. Scince this version we have a problem that the BUW_NAME from profiles (Aluminium) will translated from the German Profil to Profile.How can we prevent/correct this?Thanks for your help.RegardsUte

Hi,I have a question on working with imported features.The model I have contains surfaces / quilts which have been imported.I need to edit the model, for which i need to get into import doctor environment to make the changes.so, 1. I would like to have the quilts highlighted in the model tree as i pick it in the graphic window, currently this doesn't happen. is there a config to change this behavior?2. Is there an easy way to perform surface operations to get rid of multiple unwanted quilts (like using Revolve or extrude cuts). Currently, I could only identify the below option, but this gets rid of only one quilt at a time.Thanks.

Hi,Can anybody help me understand the logic behind how the layer grouping works in creo drawing?  

while creating views top view is not symmetric in creo symmetric 

Trailmaker is now a collection of small utilities:1 - TrailmakerA script to build customized trailfiles, to process files in batch mode.Here some ideas that you can make this script work for you:Export multiple parts to Step/IgesImport multiple Iges/Steps to Prt´sExport multiple Drawings to DXF/DWG/PDFExport/verify all instances of a family tableBring multiple parts/drawings into sessionPlot a lot of drawingsRun a mapkeyChange/add/delete ParametersModify Units/Mass PropertiesCreate Jpeg´s of multiple partsMix all this together...Lots of possibilities. Video Link : 5303 2 - AssemblerScript to assemble components (by default) in a assembly in batch mode;3 - FT-DrawingScript to create drawings for each instance of a family table; Video Link : 5305 4 - New_Drw Script to create a new drawing with same name of the active model;4 - Open_DrwScript to open a existing drawing with same name of the active model;Download link:https://www.dropbox.com/s/nprv7wx6u2iog2n/TrailMaker.zip?dl=0Open Readme

Hi, Lets say I'm running an interference check on a large assembly, or saving PDFs of my 200 page drawing...something that takes time for Creo to process. I used to be able to open another session of Creo to work on other things, while the first was thinking... but now that we moved up to Creo 11, I am no longer able to do this. I have to wait till the first session of Creo is complete before using another session.  Is there a config setting I should be looking to change? I know in Creo 3 it had something to do with the embedded browser in Creo,  Figured I would ask here first before making another ticket to PTC. 

Is there a better way to create tab and slot plate connections than manually drawing every line? I hope there is some technique where a tab can be replicated arrayed and then slots automated in the mating part. Boolean cut works but with this I don't have the option for clearance or dog bones.
