3D Part & Assembly Design

Hello everyone,I have a question regarding the representation of partial threads in Creo Parametric. There, only a single surface is created for the thread surface together with the hole, which makes it impossible to colour the surface of the thread. We use the following creation method for a partial thread:We like to use colouring to visually show how deep the threads should be cut.Do you have any tips and tricks for this, or is this not an issue for you?

Hello,We received from customer Bend table in format which SolidWorks read well, so we are trying to apply that in Creo (Creo 11.0.3), but as we noticed Creo has a little bit different format. It has radius and thickness and values inside are bend allowance if i understood correctly, and the table from SW have thickness, radius , bend angle (which is not affecting k-factor if u see table, so it can be ignored), and k factor as value derived (0.618, 0.619, 0.693....). Does anyone know how that should be applied in Creo and have maybe some examples, or is bend table a right way in Creo to apply this.

Is this possible?  I somehow was thinking I was editing one of my exploded views, but I was actually editing the default view and accidentally changed/saved it.   Can a component(s) be moved back to its original, unexploded position?   Now, every new exploded view I create starts off with the wrong, default explode....

I created this desktop application for managing IFX fastener catalogs. Create new catalogs, add fasteners from templates, and append data rows to existing fastener files. You can also import premade fastener catalogs from McMaster Carr.Compatible with Creo 6 or later.https://github.com/mbourque/ifx_customizer  

Hello, I have random lines on my part and don't know how to hide them. These lines are the exact ones that show when saving an STL file. Does someone know how I can get rid of them?

Greetings, Looking for ideas on how to report sum length of cable spool based on custom length per spool segment used in cable harness.example:spool A - length=L1, custom_length (driven from relation) =CL1, spool used N1 times in harness.total length of spool A =?the problem i have is that I can’t make any relation as there is no way to use rep.qty for cable spools in a harness.summation function is also not very flexable. I would prefer if it was function then I could create a relation with If (example: if spool a name==A sum).Is there another simpler way to solve it? Practically best solution I found is to generate the table  > export to CSV > make simple excel relation.

Would anyone know if you can reference the Component Feature Number (not internal feature ID) in a relation for a filter in an assembly drawing repeat region?Wanting to use features in an assembly model tree, 2 features at a time using their location in an assembly model tree to control what components are displayed in an assembly drawing BOM table on a particular sheet.Basically, if the components are between any 2 features in the model tree that I specify, I want to show them and only the quantities for the parts in the BOM table repeat region on a drawing sheet for the components that reside between the 2 features in the model tree.Features would be named Sheet_2, Sheet_3, Sheet_4, Sheet_5, etc. and could be an annotation feature, datum plane, or other feature.Repeat region filter would be if greater than feature number for Sheet_2 and less than feature number for Sheet_3 display component info and qty of part in that section of model tree in BOM table.Each drawing sheet will build

Hello,I am looking for help with an issue involving sheet metal flat patterns, Creo Parametric, and Creo View.I am using Creo Parametric 10 and Creo View 12. When I create a flat pattern of a sheet metal part in Creo Parametric, the automatically generated bounding box overall length and width dimension annotations display correctly in Creo Parametric.However, when I open the corresponding file in Creo View, those automatically generated flat pattern bounding box dimensions do not appear in the Creo View viewable state.One thing I have noticed is that if I create manual dimensions in Creo Parametric, those manual dimensions do come through and display in Creo View correctly. The issue seems to be specific to the automatically generated dimensions created during flat pattern creation.Has anyone else seen this behavior with automatically generated flat pattern bounding box dimensions not publishing or displaying in Creo View? Are there any settings, publishing options, annotation display

In Creo assembly design, is it a good practice to first validate the concept using Layout, then define a Skeleton model, and finally create parts within the assembly using skeleton references?Does this approach help avoid assembly issues, or are there better recommended workflows?

Hello !Using Creo Parametric 9.0.3 here.When I am creating a hole, the default placement type is Linear.Is there a way to change this to something else, like Sketched ? I have looked for a config.pro option but found nothing so far. 

Hello, I have random lines on my part and don't know how to hide them. These lines are the exact ones that show when saving an STL file. Does someone know how I can get rid of them?

When I create break lines for bolt heads and connecting holes, the cylindrical surface has no directional selection, so sometimes the break lines connect directly, while other times they connect with a bent line from the back, making it look messy. Has anyone encountered this problem, and how did you solve it?

用自由式制作造形，想在现有的基础上修改一下，又不想破坏现有造形，采用了复制，但发现复制出来的与原图误差比较大，请问有什么方法可以解决吗 

I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.4.0 and performing a Model Check on a part and I am looking at the warning for "Annotations with incorrect surface references" which has the name ANNTN_SEM_REF_TEXT_VERIFY.It is telling me that I have the incorrect number of annotations with incorrect surface references.  I am trying to indicate that there are two surfaces that are 1.450 away from datum B, so in the references, I have datum B in the "first dimension reference" and then the two surfaces in the "second dimension reference."  So why is Model Check flagging this?  Am I doing it incorrectly?

Hey,I saved a volume measurement (shown in model tree) and then I created a paramter using a relation. I want to add a unit to the parameter but it is locked. So how do I add the units to locked parameters?How do I change the decimal value in this drawing title block. I want to show 0.73mm^3 or maybe 0.7mm^3  

I have bunch of points here to pick from and create close to smooth surface I exactly need. What is my best practice, tricks and tips for something complex feature like this? SEE ATTACHAny help will be graciously appreciated!CREO is King!

Problem: When creating a countersink hole using the ISO standard (e.g. M2x0.4, Clearance, Close Fit), the outer diameter field is left blank (Ø 0.00) and requires manual entry.Impact: Every time a countersink hole is created with the ISO standard, the user is forced to stop, look up the correct value in ISO 15065:2005 Table 1, and manually enter it. This breaks the workflow and introduces a risk of human error — especially since all other parameters are already handled automatically by Creo.ISO Requirements: The outer diameter field is not a design choice — it is calculated directly from the pilot diameter and the 90° angle that ISO already defines. Creo has all the information needed to fill this field automatically.Optional Expected behavior: The outer diameter should be auto-populated from ISO 15065:2005 Table 1, which fully specifies this value (Dc = 4.4–4.5 mm for M2). All other fields — pilot hole diameter, angle, and depth — are correctly auto-filled from the same standard.Proof

Hey,So I’m trying to create a section view as marked in this picture here But I’m able to create only like a perpedicular linear section cut in the botttle neck region (Below picture is my drawing) Please let me know how to create a section view show in the first drawing. 

Hello all,I would like to gather feedback from this community about how of the long existing "create_drawing_dims_only" config.pro option is being used in your organizations. First let me provide a short summary for the values of this optionIf set to NO  - when creating a driven dimension in the drawing, the dimension is stored with the model (however not visible there). this dimension can be essentially leveraged to another drawing of the same model (but is not really going with the model based approach) If set to YES - when creating a driven dimension in the drawing, the dimension is stored with the drawing only My impression is that many Creo users (and their CAD Admins) have set this option to be set to YES, in order to avoid pushing drawing information to the model  Currently the default value of this option is set to a value of NO. we (PTC) are considering to change the default value of this option to be YES (which seems to be more suitable for

I have some issues when putting a dimension on a drawing. I work in large assemblies. When i want to select my line i have to zoom in a lot, or cycle the selection (right click) 2-4 times to get the right line. For some reason it often goes to lines on geometry that is not visible/behind on the view. This happens quite often.Is there a way to not select non visible lines when placing a dimension?Selection filter on dimension is set to all (there is only this one).  Bonus question: why is it so hard to pick the middle of a pipe (without centerline) when placing dimension? The line on the end of the pipe is usually split in two non centered lines. maybe like circles are split in a interesting way :)

I want to create a stable radius label on the edge, but sometimes it creates a diameter label and sometimes a radius label. I don't know why this is happening. Could someone help me? 

ModelCHECK should be able to limit subcomponents in an assembly from being saved based on parameters.This is extremely helpful when considering IDX files because ECAD parts (ex. capacitors/resistors) that don’t have existing 3D models get imported with the “ECAD_PART_PARAM” set to “ELECTRICAL”. By refusing check-ins for these parts, we can insure that new geometry from the ECAD software is imported each time.
