3D Part & Assembly Design

When I  update a feature that a copy geometry references I will change the model but the copy geometry or reference will not follow. In the latest instance I updated a hole.   There is a sketch that references  that hole and in the large assembly a part is assembled to that hole. The hole location moves accordingly but the sketch and part stay in the old position.  This happens randomly.  Sometimes opening a new session fixes the issues. Other times it does not.  Otherwise I have to go into the following feature.  Delete the reference, reselect the reference and then reconstrain.  Creo 8.0.11.0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.3.0Issue with “Fixing” Parts list table with repeat region fixing that pulls in data from a component parameter. We want to pull in information from assy component parameters and display info within a table column. Found that with this implemented, one is not able to “fix” the parts list table (which prohibits resorting).Example, component parameter assigned within assy context :NAME: REMARKSTYPE = STRINGVALUE = PURCHASEDAssy drawing parts list table has column entry fetching value: asm.mbr.cparam.REMARKSWorks as expected, reporting values for all components with component parameter “REMARKS”The problem is if I attempt to fix the table to prohibit resorting, I am met with the following error: “Can not fix index due to symbol.asm.mbr.CPARAM”The only way I can fix the table is by removing entry “asm.mbr.cparam.REMARKS” from parts lists table and also removing the “ASM_MBR_CPARAM_REMARKS” parameter from the repeat region’s relation UI

I am trying to hide the labels related to active combined states like Layer state , apperanace state etc.Also i want to modify or hide some times, the tolerance table label appears in the bottom right corner of the combined state.  But i am not able to find any options to hide or modify these labels. Is it a limitation ? or is there any settings to control it. Please guide me if someone faced this problem.Using creo 8   

Hello, I would like to see if is possible to create multiple individual drawings from one main assembly. Currently our templates are set up so the revision level and initials displayed in the drawing are attached to the model and windchill. This works fine for the initial drawing that will get approved by the customer but because we treat each drawing as its own separate entity/part number and can be used to make multiple different end items, it becomes a massive headache. Currently we are having to create a family table with a separate instance per each drawing, which is a massive pain for file management and if we have to make any changes to a model once created. Also, since we custom machine and fabricate all of our products, we build our end item/complete assembly first then create the different supporting drawings by hiding components using component display. Any insight on how to make this possible would be greatly appreciated.

I opened a drawing to make a simple revision and immediately had trouble selecting items.  If I select a note the green box that normally surrounds the selection is offset and rotated.    Creating a new note results in the same.  I created a new sheet and switched the note to that new sheet and it is normal there.  switching it back to original sheet and it messed up again.  It only appears to be a problem on that sheet of that drawing.  It is affecting tables in a similar way.  Has anyone seen this and there is a way to fix it? 

There anyway simple to identify what part is suppressed in a mammoth .asm? Tricks / Tips Pl ....Thx in advance!

I want to rotate an existing group in a part and delete the original. I tried: - Paste special and then used the independent option: It's not independent.- Paste special and then used the advanced option: Cannot simply rotate.- Tried Pattern: Cannot delete/suppress original. Is there a simple way to do it? 

Is there a way, in CREO 10, to get the surface of an extrude to look different than the background surface?The first picture is what I was trying to achieve -- a plaque (i.e. an ornamental tablet, typically of metal, porcelain, or wood, that is fixed to a wall or other surface in commemoration of a person or event).The second picture shows how it looks in CREO, using NO HIDDEN -- anything else (like SHADING WITH EDGES) transforms it into something horrible, that cannot be understood (my colors in CREO have always been awful, never managed to get those nice pastel colors that other people show on YouTube).The third picture shows how it should look even in CREO -- I used colors to make a point, but what I had in mind was at least a GRAINY surface, different from the background surface of the respective plaque, just to make sense to someone who is trying to figure out what they are looking at (no need to look artistically pleasant, but to be at least intelligible).Any ideas would be great

Hello Community,While working with Creo MBD and exporting the models in STEP AP 242 format for downstream use, I'm facing the following issues:Notes and Symbols MisalignmentAnnotations placed using the "Flat to Screen" display option are not exporting correctly.After import, their orientation and scaling appear distorted or inconsistent with the original combined state view.Semantic PMI Reference IssuesSome semantic references, especially surfaces selected for dimensions like shaft lengths, appear to be mapped incorrectly or changed post-export/import.I would like to know:Are there recommended export settings or best practices in Creo for ensuring accurate STEP 242 output (especially for semantic PMI and screen annotations)?Similarly, are there any import settings or tool-specific considerations for maintaining annotation fidelity in the target system?Is it advisable to avoid using “flat to screen” annotations when targeting STEP 242 format? Creo 8.0 user..

I am using Creo Parametric version 6.0. I need to use my drawing for multi-region purposes.  When I tried to find a solution, it led to controlling layer properties using the view manager option for drawing in the view tab and the combined state option. But I couldn't find the View Manager option in the View tab in the drawing file. Where shall i find the view manager option ?

Hello, I would like to hear some opinion on Creo Unite and experiences if someone have.I used Open and Import possibilities in Creo to open SolidWorks assembly files and assemble it in top level assembly. So when using open it stay in native (SW) form and in behind Creo make wrapper files which we can see on local folders (*SLDASM.creo, *SLDPRT.creo) but not on windchill. When using import it creates links to original SolidWorks files and save it in native Creo files with .asm and .prt formats. So what are better features in case of updating that SW files when someone send it to us, to use Open or Import. As i could see so far both have capabilities of updating when you overwrite newly SW assemblies in a local folder or checking in new version in Windchill. We even tested Open and Import with inseparable assemblies , so we received SW files with virtual components (inseparable or embedded in Creo), and Creo understood that well. So considering performance , that imported component

Is there away to make a representation that puts all sub models in a assembly to a defined user defined representation? So lets say that company standard defines that each part model has following custom representations: * Medium_Rep* Low_Rep So one way would be to have a representation in assembly level that is also called Medium_Rep and Low_Rep that would automatically set every part to their .respective representation. We can off course do this manually one by one, but is there a way to automate setting of user representation in bulk? Or even entirely automatically?

Hello,Why isn't it possible to determine the angle using the table pattern?If possible, how can I make it work? The 40° in the picture.

Whichever file I import into Creo (I tried two separate vendors with Inventor, random Grabcad models, and even exporting simple block from Creo and then reimporting it back) - it only imports as a surface. The geometry is fine (no errors) and I can easily solidify it, but I don't seem to be able to find a way how to do this automatically. I am importing large assemblies made by subcontractors with hundreds of parts, so turning each part into solid isn't an option.  I have all geometry "enhancements" disabled, and all the other settings seemingly correct:   Regardless, the Import feature always defaults to "Add Surfaces".Most often I am able to just change it to "Add bodies", or Solidify the geometry outside the "Import" feature - so there are no issues with the geometry I assume:  I looked but I couldn't find a config.pro setting to force Creo to default to "Add bodies" instead of "Add Surfaces" (or other means to solidify the geometry). Is there any

I am working on a project to create a UDF library for screw threads in Creo 10.0.4.0 The goal is to have the user enter the nominal OD and TPI for UN threads and get the appropriate geometry driven by relations based off ISO 228 My problem is that it is unclear how to implement these. When I follow the instructions here after selecting features ( To Define Variable Parameters in a UDF ) the dialogue box suggested on step 3 just doesn't open, and the dialogue box stays at 'All elements have been defined. Select element(s) or action(s) from the dialogue box'. Features that are relation-driven (like the OD of the cylinder that constitutes the screw, or the pitch values used for the helical sweep ) are not eligible as variable elements or dimensions either (google results suggested you sometimes need to set the features/dimensions that are parameterized as variable before you use the variable parameters option, but this hasn't worked for me) My next idea is to just

Hi, I am currently converting legacy drawings drawn using AutoCAD into 3D models and draft 2D from the 3D models. I would like to draft these 2D in such a way that is applicable for all the regions. For example, we would like to show the annotations in Japanese if it's been accessed from Japan, or in English with metric units if it is accessed from India or in English with imperial units if it's been accessed from US. As all the three formats use a common ".PRT"/".ASM" file, is there any recommended way to meet my requirement without the need for creating multiple ".DRW" files? Thanks in advance. Software: CREO Parametric 6.0

I am looking to take a class that will walk me through creating a sketch from scratch and add features/cutouts/extrude etc Which class/classes do you recommend?

It would be helpful if there was a way to call a special check profile in the condition.mcc whenever the model contains one or more parameters that begin with "USR_". This would, for example, prevent extra parameters from being deleted in ModelCHECK whenever a parameter that begins with USR_ is present. Or is there another way to delete all parameters in a model except those beginning with "USR_" or "CONF_"? This would, for example, help bring old data up to date.Here two  examples:IF (CONF_*) config=(check/mat.mch)(check/kon.mch)(start/mat_mm.mcs)(start/kon_mm.mcs)(constant/mm.mcn)(status/status.mcq) (name/Configurator_File)IF (USR_*) config=(check/mat.mch)(check/usr.mch)(start/mat_mm.mcs)(start/usr_mm.mcs)(constant/mm.mcn)(status/status.mcq) (name/Userparameter_File)

Hi everyone, I recently downloaded Creo 11 on a machine with Creo 7 in order to test something. After deciding to test on my virtual machine, I uninstalled Creo 11. I now get this error in Creo 7: When checking the logs, the error reads: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread 3772. I've tried clearing cache and reinstalling. Any ideas?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0How to identify any part used in what are the assemblies?Basically, need to know, in how many assemblies, the specific part been used.

While creating a part with Model Based Definition utilizing semantic references, when we select an annotation, the edges and related surfaces highlight, but in a way that’s hard to distinguish edges/surfaces. When we select “Semantic Query” the highlights are much more obvious and useful. Looking for a method or setting for making the “Semantic Query”-style highlight for annotations the default behavior (without having to click semantic query first). Snapshots of the current behavior and desired behavior when selecting annotations that contain semantic references below.  Current behavior upon annotation selection: Desired behavior upon annotation selection:(Note: image above shown utilizing semantic query, desire is for that step to not be necessary)

Good morning everyone,I’m working in Creo Parametric 9.0, and I’d like to know whether it’s possible to directly convert a standard sketch into a cosmetic sketch, without needing to recreate the geometry from scratch.So far, I haven’t found a straightforward method, I'm wondering if there’s a dedicated feature or workaround that allows this kind of conversion.If anyone has experience with this or knows an efficient solution, I'd greatly appreciate your input.Thank you in advance for your support!

Hello, I have created a drawing template with bom tables pre-set so when I create the drawing, everything is already in place. The issue is, I want it to read a specific simp rep on creation. And right now it seems that "Master" is the only option? I have already searched for threads about this and found one..."Creating Assy Dwgs - Is there a way to pre-set the Simplified Rep?" However, the post is from 2014 and the links to a solution seem broken. I'm hoping that since that was posted 11 years ago, surely they have come up with a proper way to address this? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!  

Hello everyone,The settings for the cutting planes do not correspond to the ISO standards (ISO 128-2:2022, ISO 128-3:2022). - The end segments should be marked with a long-dashed dotted wide line.- The end segment must be exactly long-dashed-long- The arrow must be centred on the last long segment. I can't find these settings anywhere.Is there a solution? We all want a digital MBD world, but at the moment we still need 2D drawings, so a standardised representation is absolutely vital.
