3D Part & Assembly Design

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.8.0Basically I’m trying to learn how to create a hole feature UDF with pro program embedded in it where pro program would be prompting user to read values from a text file which would create a different size hole each time the UDF was placed. If I had a part model that had 3 different size tapped holes, could I place the same UDF 3 times but each time read the text file (modified with new values) to create a different size hole (8-32, ¼-20, etc.) Or is this not what Pro Program was intended to do?

When placing a view in a drawing, the boundary of the view is much larger than the actual solid part.  I think it is referencing some datums or ref geo in the view.  Is there a way to get the view to be proportional to the actual solid body in the view?

Hi Creo community, I'd like to get your feedback or opinion on the topic "collaborative engineering on part level"Note that we are using "classical" Creo & Windchill, no Creo+ Request from the users:  We want to execute simultaneous engineering on different areas of a part.See my example:User-1 developing the outside design (or the design already exists)User-2 develops the green areaUser-3 develops the read areaFinally, the "zones" should be merged into one final part and MBD should be addedPersonally I'd prefer a split of the grey part into Bodies and merge them back at the end (boolean operations), the other options could be inheritance or copy geom (surface...) Your opinion on that? BR Georg

When we originally did our .Hol files over a decade ago we decided it wasn't possible to call out both FREE and CLOSE in the callout formats.  The Hole note on the drawing could only be shown as a Free(what we set it as). Is that still the case?  When i add in CLOSE to the matrix/table it still just only gives me a Free callout and not the Close when Close is the value set in the model Thanks! DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA HOLE_TYPE THREAD DRILLED_DEPTH THREAD_DEPTH CSINK CBORE EXIT_CSINK CALLOUT_FORMAT CLEARANCE NO THRU_ALL NA NO NO NO &HOLE_INSTANCE_COUNT&HOLE_INSTANCE_X_SYMBOL <CTRL-a>n<CTRL-b>&FREE_DEC[.2] DRILL <CTRL-A>x<CTRL-B> &DRILL_DEPTH CLEARANCE NO THRU_ALL NA NO NO NO &HOLE_INSTANCE_COUNT&HOLE_INSTANCE_X_SYMBOL <CTRL-a>n<CTRL-b>&CLOSE_DEC[.2] DRILL <CTRL-A>x<CTRL-B> &DRILL_DEPTH     

Hidden line removal for quilt not working with 2D cross-section from Sections used. I want image 2,3,4 to be like image 1 that hides hidden line for quilts. If i select 2d section the option of hidden line is greyed out. It does not remove hidden lines. How to fix? Thanks in advance.  More to think ...more to creo!

I create a part using the BOUNDARY BLEND command and then OFFSET it. I wish to SOLIDIFY it now, I mean the offset geometry. Creo 11 Student Version does not like it. I am not sure why? Is there a GLITCH in Version 11 for the solidify command for geometry using the Boundary Blend?

Using Creo 10.0.2.0 Commercial license After I completed a model and associated drawing, we had a small issue. I oriented the model wrong.I based my sketch in the "Top" plane when I should have based it in the "Front" plane. That would make it line up better in the final assembly. I know it's not a big deal to rotate it in the assembly, but it would be "nice" to just have it fit correctly in the system without rotating. I figured out I could get the orientation I needed by right-clicking the sketch and selecting references. I then switched Top with Front, Right with Top, then Front with Right to get the actual orientation I needed. Great, the model itself was exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, as one might expect, this completely broke all of my annotated dimensions. I tried to reassign the planes for the annotations, but it didn't work. I then regenerated the original model and tried just switching Top and Front, leaving right alone. I thought maybe if I on

Hi ALL,We are hearing and seeing a lot in action from many AI applications. CHAT GPT, Gemini,......I am looking for a AI app that can do a 2D for me from the image. NEED Suggestions on what out there available for this need.See attach as as sample to try on . Pl use to try and send me the output . Appreciate!  THANKS IN Advance guys ! I Love Creo! So much to learn. So little time...

"If these anchor points are cut off by a section, the dimension won't be visible." Reference topic: Hole annotations not showing - PTC Community Is there a way to shift those anchor points to visible section?I have thread hole where one annotation (MAX) is "anchored" to axis of the hole and is visible in any cross section, but the other dimension (MIN) is visible only in correctly oriented cross section, which is not cutting off the anchor points. Is there a way how to swap the anchor points to other side of the design or is it dead end in MBD?

Reference topic link @simran  I also have the same problem, have you found a solution to delete the useless BASELINES?Thank you and good day.    

I noticed recently ( I think it has been around awhile) that when you delete an entity that is patterned, it does not delete all the dimension of the pattern.   A part is patterned:   A family table is made:   I renamed the dimension (distance apart and qty) to try and avoid confusion: Next I deleted the part that was patterned (which deletes the pattern too).   But the family table still shows the qty (and on a different one, it didn't get rid of the dimension):   Is this a glitch?

Created a sheetmetal part master view is the flat pattern.  Created a simplified rep in the bent state.  When we assembly the part in the 3D assembly the assembled components do not update to the bent state.  We need one model to represent the component and allow the flat pattern to be used in the drawing.  Our business has only 1 part number for the manufacture of this component.  We do not want to create another CAD PART  ----   BRAKET_FLAT.prt.  This created unnecessary data in our system and complicate Windchill by dragging along unnecessary objects.

Hi, I use creo 11.0 edition. When I want to select plane nothing happens 

Running CREO 8.0I have a section view with 2 components not showing up in view. They are there but will not appear.I have tried excluding and including back and forth in VM States tab. I even cleared out my workspace and did the work all over again it was only a (5 minutes task).. I also created the view state all over again. and nothing.See screenshot of bodies in green that will not appear.I did notice in modelling that when I try to add the parts to the section they will not select but other parts will.  

My AutoCAD human resource is taking 50hrs to trace the outline of something vehicle as seen in attached file. Our client has tons of vehicle images to be converted to .drg, bypassing 3D model. I was wondering if someone has a software that can convert image to as if drawn by a engineering drafting pen. .2mm / .4mm / 1mm sharpie. Thanks for all your brainstorming. This may save us a tons. Thanks in ADVANCE! So much of Creo.. So little time.!

Finally upgraded from Creo 9 to Creo 12 and it started completely locking up the system when adding a countersink to a hole feature.  Contacted tech support and they said the Dell 7760 is not supported by Creo 12! This is crazy!  So now I am supposed to go and buy new laptops for the entire engineering and design team?? Looks like I either find another 3D system or I am stuck with Creo 9.  I didn't upgrade to Creo 11 because they moved the mapkeys out of the config.pro to a separate file that is located on the local client.  This made the CAD much more difficult because one way to standardize and control process is by using mapkeys that were loaded of the server at the start point. Not happy with PTC...

I feel like Creo is slowing us down when opening an assembly, particularly large ones, because it is "Doing preliminary Mass props calculations" on every part it opens.  I'd rather do that manually and save time opening the models.  Any ideas?  Creo 10.0.5.0, WC 13

Hello. I'm creating a car in Creo Parametric 9.0. I'm currently modeling a wheel arch and need help. I don't know how to connect the arch to another surface. Here's a screenshot to help you understand what I mean:

I am using CREO 8 to assemble a large pallet-racking structure for a big storage system, with significant height, length, and width. I would prefer not to use shrinkwraps or IGES/STEP files, because I want my model to update with any modifications. Additionally, I need to be able to visualize the holes. Could you suggest ways to make the assembly lighter?

Why objects which is regenerated in creo changes it's state from to after regeneration. Object is read only why has it been chagned during regeneration?

Is there a way to modify the end of this wire so that it's in line with the other one (red). and follows those? dots? Also has anyone experienced manually routing a wire and once a new segment has been made it lays itself directly on top of something that has already been routed? Flattening seems to be really tricking and annoying a lot of the times the wires won't move in the plane that I want when trying to put them right beside each other. No matter what I mess with nothing really seems to change how the segment reacts. There are also times that I use the move segment tool and if i move it to far from the original position the segment disappears and the segment in the model tree goes red and I can't undo it I have to flattened that segment again. Hoping someone can shed some light on this as its really frustrating to deal with.

we are using Creo 9best way convert these segmented surfaces to 1 continuous surface ?thanksRich  

I want to add some kind of table that can determine bend radius according to sheet thickness i am switching from solid edge

Looking for a way to put heat shrink on a harness and have it show up in the BOM. Ideally, I have a "part" for the heat shrink and I add to where ever its needed on the harness. Then it totals how much I used and throughs it into the BOM. Is this possible in the same way the spools are done? Or are there other ways to do this?

Hi,  Is there anyway to include level in the index for a multi-layer BOM. For example, I like to have index "1" for first level of assembly and "1.1" as the 2nd level, "1.1.1" for 3rd level and so on and so forth? This is the format of the ERP system required to import the data into it.  I am using Creo 9. In the table repeat region can only have "rpt.idex" or "rpt.level".. But "rpt.level" on show 1,2.3.. for the level.  Thanks
