3D Part & Assembly Design

Hi Community, Creo 10 drawing interface - Is there a way to identify a missing reference for local section in drawing view properties.  

I would like to create a weld symbol in creo drawing. If there is any standard symbol available in library please suggest that name.  

Creo Parametric 11.0.5 My organization just upgraded Creo parametric from 8.0.4 to 11.0.5compaarison of 11 vs 8

Facing an issue regularly while opening assembly file showing outdated component/feature. For now, I found only one way replace the each component, where there are more number of components to see the task what before day did. Took time to achieve the assembly that was in progress for last day, time completed to start from there. Someone find this issue and give a suggestion for this. And I'm using educational version creo.11.0

I love learning which is probably why I teach classes.  I first learned the basics of sheet metal as a kid racing motorcycles with my dad. Whenever we crashed and something broke on the bike, the challenge was to quickly fabricate a new sheet metal bracket or mount to place properly whatever had bent. We had to be back on track for the next heat race. At the motocross track, resources are limited. Often with only a vise and an adjustable wrench maybe a grinder and a vice we are making brackets & bending other brackets to accommodate mangled geometry. My dad took the time to explain the basics sheet metal so sheet metal is personal for me. Stretch, flat patterns, grain direction & Aluminum cracks where steel bends without tearing, Everything in racing is a learning opportunity. Those early lessons taught me the value of resourcefulness, problem-solving and understanding the fundamentals of sheet metal which leads me to this challenge.  Here is a great dad jok

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.1.0After making a change in the Assembly (i.e i deleted an already missing part/Assembly) and saving, the change is not retained, when i open the Assembly again, it still shows the deleted part as missing. Started happening after i updated my creo from version 8 to 11.

I am trying to ensure models have their Unit Sensitivity turned ON.  I can toggle it with a mapkey but is there a way to ensure that it is set on (or off) for a part? 

Hello, I would like to create section views using straight lines, splines, and sometimes a combination of both. This was incredibly simple with Autodesk Inventor as in you simply drew a sketch on the drawing, set a reference surface and a distance to extrude it back and you were done. In Creo the best I can get is to either zoom way in and try to get it as straight as I can with the section tool (still looks horrible/wavy) or use 3D/Offset sections, but I have had issues ballooning parts when using these. Any insight would extremely helpful.

Hi Folks, Moved to Creo 12.4.1, Getting this notification every time I open a part or assembly: "Material usage parameters are out of date"Only way to make it go away is to use the "Update Materials Usage..." command.But that only lasts for that session, next time the files are opened, the message pops up again.Is there some point or purpose other than to be annoying?Regeneration does nothing to get rid of this notification.Thanks for any wisdom shared.

Hi Guys, Currently the area circled is only showing 1 line of information. I want to make this show 2 or 3 lines of information.  I know I can drag it up to where I want it in each session, but is it possible to sett its height every time I start Creo? Thanks,Jay

In the Creo Part File, I have a Part as a body, <A> In that I have created 2 appearances (1. Black[Which is default], 2. Green[New one])<B> In Combined State, has 1. Default All (referencing Black Appearance), 2. Paint (Referencing Green Appearance)<C> I can switch between them in the part, and it does what I need it for In the Creo .DWG File, I reference the same Part as above, <A> Sheet 1 references some views that have the Combined state Default with Black Appearance <B> Now I have a new sheet(Sheet 2) that has some views for the (At least that is the intent) Combined State of the Paint with Gren Appearance<C> Keep a note that all the Vies are shading with Edges But the Problem is that I never show black and green on sheets 1 and 2, respectively; it always goes to the default appearance that the part has, so if I change the part's appearance/ combined state, that drawing force changes for all sheets Do you have a

Hello CREO Users,I am working on a milling operation for an internal profile (similar to a valve seat geometry) in Creo Manufacturing. My objective is to machine the internal contour using tool radius compensation (CUTCOM) and to ensure smooth ramp transitions between Z-level passes or using helical folling the profile to avoid marks on the final surface.I have tried the following approaches:The Cut Line strategy allows helical movements and smooth transitions between passes, but it does not support tool radius compensation (CUTCOM). This is a requirement for my process.The Profile Milling strategy does support CUTCOM, but it does not offer ramp or spiral entry between Z-level cuts. As a result, the tool plunges vertically at each level, which causes unwanted marks and steps in the internal diameter of the part.I've tried to explore all the SCAN_TYPE parameters. LEAD_IN and LEAD_OUT approach but nothing works well.I need a solution that allows:Internal profile millingTool radius compen

I created an assembly representing a commercial ball joint, called SKF_GE-4-C. This assembly is composed by a housing mounted by default and a sphere mounted with a "ball" connection type. If I drag components, everything is working fine at this level.Then I used this file as a component for another assembly called SUB, mounted as rigid. If I drag components, everything is working as expected at this level as well.However, when I insert SUB in another assembly called MAIN and try to constrain the hole of the ball with a fixed shaft, everything locks in place. I am not able to move the beam with drag components as I intend to do.Is it possible to get it to move preserving the same (or a similar) structure of assembly? What do you suggest? Using Creo 9.0.9.0. Files in attachment for reference.

Hi Everyone, I have added one column in the model tree that I need to get into the Parameter. Is it possible?   Regards, Aj

Hello, I am adjusting the size of the dimension arrows in the detail options to make them smaller since we have many drawings where they are packed full of dimensions. I found the options to adjust the arrowhead height and length, but I can't find one to shorten the length of the tail. (see attached picture). Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Hi, Is it possible to set the model accuracy of all components in an assembly to "Absolute" at once?I tried creating a mapkey, but it requires opening each part one by one, which is a tedious task. Any tips would be appreciated.

Is it worth to switch to Onshape from Creo.Part, Assembly, Drawing and in terms of all solutions.Please share the beneficial, if possible Thanks!  

We have created combined views in our Creo start parts which are used for MBD purpose. Now we have a requirement to update the previous Creo Models with the Combined views created recently. That is why I would like to know if these combined views can be imported from the models which have the combined views.The other option that we could think of to achieve this is to create a Mapkey. Our current Creo Parametric version is 10.0.6.0. Any suggestions would definitely help.

Hi All, I'd like to create a pipe table template to show same info as the table below for any piping assembly.It has to be valid for both bent and straight pipes.How repeat region settings should be set to get this outcome please?Also, is it possible to replace the index_rpt parameter (Item column) with a component parameter 'linenumber' to show the number based on an existing BOM? Many thanks in advance for your help!

What are the practical differences between Always, Read Only, & Only Design Study?I have a weld fixture on a positioner that handles three parts and I'm trying to figure the cg from rotation for the fixture itself, then one for each of the parts. I'm also trying to do this without using a family table so I can have the dimensions all in one view. 

We have a new batch of CNC programmers for our sheet metal parts. They asked me if I could export the DXF of the flat pattern without the drawing border. I guess the experienced programmers have always removed the 4 lines of the border. Is it possible to export a DXF of a drawing without the border? (geometry only)Is it possible to export a DXF of just the drawing view? (possible workaround if the above isn't possible) WF5 M080 Thanks,Jeff <><

Hello CREO community!We often face the challenge of modeling complex gear pairs and splined shafts in CREO Parametric. We always strive to follow international standards to ensure the design is as accurate as possible for manufacturing. However, detailing the tooth profiles according to the standards in every project is very time-consuming.My question is: Is there any plugin or specialized software that integrates with CREO and generates these gear profiles in a more automated way?Here is an example of a plugin that integrates with SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge, and Inventor. https://www.eassistant.eu/enBest regards,Uilian de Souza 

Is there a Creo Parametric setting that will make the Measure Distance tool launch with Setup and Results both expanded? Every time it launches it has them both collapsed. I want the tool to launch by default with them both expanded.  Yes, this is only a couple of mouse clicks, but this has to be repeated many times per day, and the expand/collapse buttons are really small.  So, this is a non-trivial headache.

I have a table that we use to capture Rev History.  Whenever we add a row to this table, the text size and text alignment does not carry the alignment from the previous row.  Is there a way to set it the text size and alignment (or even style) for each column so that newly added rows don't need to be specifically defined? The first row under the headers shows how I want ever added row to behave.  The second row shows what I am currently getting in regards to Vertical Alignment, Horizontal Alignment, and Text Size. Currently using Creo 10.0
