3D Part & Assembly Design

Hello guys, I would like to know if it's possible to apply a filter to a specific parameter within a table, as in the following example:I have a family table of bolts that includes various diameters and dimensions. My goal is to automate the generation of the 2D drawing using the rpt region feature, as follows:The table displayed in the drawing should include only the dimensions related to a specific bolt type, filtered by diameter — the dimension is a consequence of that filter.Other diameters should not appear in the table; they must be excluded. My version: PTC CREO 10

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0Receiving fatal error encountered. A traceback log has been written to C:\Users|Public\Documents\traceback.log error when trying to open a file in Creo Parametric 11. We have tried old drivers, new drivers, dx 11, dx 9, opengl. When it works it has a black screen. If it loads a grey screen, we know it will fail.Here are the errors that I facedReceiving fatal error encountered.

Hello,while working in Creo 11 and trying to display the sheet metal development using a Simplified Representation of the Flat Pattern, I am experiencing an issue related to Annotate tables that are set to Flat to Screen alignment.When I create the Simplified Representation for the flat pattern and have an Annotate table added to the Combined View (aligned as Flat to Screen), the table alignment becomes incorrect after the flat pattern is generated. Specifically:When I resize the Model Tree panel, the table does not adjust or move along with the change in the Model Tree width.– See image 1.When exporting the model as PVZ and opening it in Creo View Express 12, the table shifts both horizontally and vertically in the Combined View.– See image 2.I would like to know whether this is a known issue, or if there is any setting or workaround available to prevent this misalignment. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hello i am struggling to add the new dim Parameter in another instance in the family table. Apparently, it doesnt like parameter names.  i thought i could rename the original dim (A, B,..so on), add an offset, create new dim as a parameter, error "you have entered an invalid text string or a numeric value" apparently, it needs to be a number. what will be another workaround?  Ultimately, i want use these new parameter (A1, B1, C1, D_1, E1, F1. G1, H1) in a drawing table.  It seems that i have to convert the string into a number? 

Hello, is there any procedure to export a file from 3D model .asm or .prt to a .html file that can show the 3D model in a web-ready browser? Thank you, Michele Barile

Hi, I am after some advice please. I am fairly new to using creo (have used solidworks, inventor and rhino in a previous role), I am trying to remove a template from the list on creating a new drawing. I have navigated to the folder where the templates are saved and this particular template isnt in there to remove, yet it is showing in the list as a n option. Any idea where it would be or why it is still showing?Thank you!

Hello everyone,I'm working on a project in Creo 12.4.1.0 where I want to use some intelligent relations to fast change some interchange components and their placement into an assembly.I've the following proof of concept:Where the different building blocks are placed on some premade coordinate systems. The location of those csys must change with height of the lower level component. The Height will be inserted into a parameter in these components. For this I wrote these relations:HEIGHT_1:1=HEIGHT:0HEIGHT2:1=HEIGHT:0Which works for this combination.Where the HEIGHT:0 comes from the red blocks. But when changing the second red block to a blue one, is where I run into some problems. As can be seen is the :0 referring to the session ID. (where the blue one is :2)Is there a possibility of using the feature number instead, because the order of the build is not going to change.Especially because this example is with two type of blocks but the project has 50 different types of interchange

I am using Pro E WF5 and the keyboard is not working. Is there a shortcut that enable and disable keyboard in pro E?

Hi all, We are in CREO 10.0.7.0. Since Creo 8, we can no longer keep the symbol palette open.As soon as a symbol is placed, it closes immediately. I don't recall the symbol palette behaving this way in previous versions.This seems to be the normal behavior of Creo. Is there an option to keep it open? How do you add multiple symbols consecutively without having to reopen the palette from the Annotation ribbon?Best regards Dominique

Hello,I have an electronic board on which I'm trying to create a surface across all the pads. I can with the projection tool into the sketch but this is very tedious. I did it on 3 pads to give you an idea, but the surface should be present on all the grey pads. This surface will be use in creo machining for programming a laser machine in order to clean the pads. I try to create a section then a curve from it but I can't fill in the curve...Do you have any ideas ? Thanks in advance 

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.
