3D Part & Assembly Design

Hi all, Hoping someone can assist with a solution to this problem. I have just redone my department's drawing template and formats in Creo Parametric 10.0.3.0. However, the original templates we used had our logo in the title block of the drawing format, seemingly embedded as a OLE using MS Paint (?). However, during the process of our computers being upgraded to Windows 11, the logo no longer appeared in the title blocks for drawings (in the printed and pdf exports as well). So, during the template/format updates, I added the logos back into the format as a .bmp OLE via the "MS Word" option. This seemed to work, and all users were able to see the logo - in Creo, as well as printed and pdf exported - along with the logo propagating to new sheets on creation. However, the issue was that regardless of the pdf export settings, the logo would always be a very low resolution & have extremely noticeable pixelation around the edges (not shown in Creo representation).&n

[Creo 8] So i have a flexed board and everything works great.  If I deleted a component,  how do i get it back? the  baseline .idx is all i have.  the validate tool still shows it and wont bring it back in.  I've watched the east coast demo and it didn't cover that.  No real training on the PTC UNIVERSITY on this.  

I often have the situation where I need the same settings for a hole (diameter, counterbore) and use them for another hole in the same part. I have seen that in creo there is the option to copy and paste construction elements such as holes, profiles etc., so is there maybe an option to copy and paste the settings for a hole that I already used, or do you have to set up diameter, depth, counterbore etc. each time that you are creating a new hole?

Hello All, I have been using Creo 10 for about a year now with a SpaceMouse Enterprise.  Recently, when I have an assembly open (doesn't happen in individual part files), I get the regular red "diamond" that shows me the spin center when moving the model with the SM, but I also get an additional red "dot" now that I have not seen before.  Additionally, when I let go of the SM to stop moving the model, it then shifts in a random direction, sometimes up to 1/5 of the screen, away from where I moved it to....   I think that second red dot is linked to the weird shift as I had not had the shifting issue before this dot appeared.  How do I make it go away? Updates:  - The red dot only appears when rotating with SM.  When rotating with MMB, I get no red dot, but the model shift is still there.  It is actually more severe when using MMB, causing the model to shift out of frame.- Closing the model, and re-opening seems to have "f

I am trying to use the fill pattern feature in Creo Parametric 8.0. I am simply trying to create some small 3.0mm holes for vents for an electrical cover box. I have performed the following steps:I have created a rectangular sketch (used for the Fill Region/Grid) created a hole using the extrude feature that is positioned on the same surface within the bounding boxI have tried constraining to the center of rectangular sketch in "bullet point 1", but this doesn't make any difference in my end result I get a preview showing the features that will get patterned I click "OK" and the features are created very far out of the bounding box I created in "bullet point 1"I have tried creating the sketch within the pattern feature as well, with no luck  Every time I try this, using other shapes (hexagon's, squares, etc) as the feature shape, I never get the pattern actually made within the boundary box that Creo Parametric allows you to define. Any idea what is happen

I want to make an extrude to remove material for a relatively simple assembly. However, I found that the extrude doesn't work for smaller distance say 3 inches or to the reference plane I made a little bit from the end of the track. The extrude doesn't work when I say through all or to the plane further down around the bend of the track.

I thought I could use any connected surface as a draft hinge in previous versions of CREO (2.0 - 4.0). I am currently using 11.0 and tried to use a curved surface as a draft hinge and it could not be selected. Am I mis-remembering or is this possible? Model above is representative only. Yellow is the surfaces to be drafted and green is the surface I wish to use  as a draft hinge.

I am using Creo Parametric Release N/A and DatecodeN/Aif I do "flip material removal side" after make section and arrowsthe lines are gone..

1) I have had a problem where the parts and sometimes assemblies get visually "corrupted". If it happens in parts it is still doable to work around it If I ignore it, as only the visual image gets distorted but I can still work with the part as normal (I can rotate, extrude, and everything normally). Things get tricky when a whole assembly starts to act this way, and I cant really ignore it. I suspect that is occurs the most when I open a part from the assembly and start working with it, but I am not very sure why.  I am not very knowledgeable of computers but these are my laptop specifications: processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz RAM: 16.0 GB Graphics: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe GraphicsCreo: Creo Parametric ver9 2)Another college of mine has a problem where Creo straight up just crashes and closes when it becomes a little heavy. The most we do is drawings and assemblies and it crashes for him. We rarely do simulations.  We suspect t

I have a mass system that I am designing isolators for.  I'm attempting to create a new coordinate system that represents the principal axes so that I can use that to identify locations and angles for the isolators.  My problem is that when I compute the principal axes, then create a new coordinate system at the location and orientation of the reported principal axes, the location is correct but the rotation is slightly askew and I can't figure out why.  In the picture below, I would expect my 1, 2, 3 axes and X, Y, Z to be on top of each other.  I uploaded the CAD files as well.    

Hello Everyone, I am having a hard time trying to calculate the roll angle for a involute curve. I can draw it as shown in the image but unable to calculate it. I've been working with the involute roll angle formula but i have not been able to make match what you see below in the picture.Any help world be great,And thank you in advance.Sean  

HiIs there any option that we can include the Part description in Global Interference window so that while downloading the file, it will be easy for me to filter?

Hi to all,I have recently update my PTC product from Wildfire 5 to CREO 2. Until I have used Wildfire 5 I could import XML cabling file in Pro/E (from Zuken E3) with no problem. In Creo 2.0 when I try to import same file I receive an error about spools. In practice, CREO does not accept the separation character (ex. 0.5) of the spools. Infact if I modify manualy the XML file and change 0.5 in 0_5 the problem is solved. So my questions are:- how do I replace automatically "_" instead of "."? - why in NWF file, the same spools with "0.5" is properly interpreted by CREO with no error?Thanx

So if I create a threaded hole feature I can see the hole callout on screen giving me the details of the  that hole feature.BUTIf I create a counter-bored hole feature I get no hole call out.Why is this? If this is a setting that needs to be adjusted why is it not uniform by default?

Greetings:I'm really struggling to understand Creo's drawing module and one of the issues is hole callout.   I was told that the drawing mod.  does have that ability and you have to use 'Show Model Annotation"  weird but okay.  So I found out a how have hole call out show but the callout is not what I was expecting.   Need some help on this been at it for 1/2 cay and still can figure it out.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Is assembly with fix option a solid hold ? meaning it will not move . What does fix relate with in asm. Like what is it constrained to ? I hope its not free floating in space and moves uncontrol. ANDWhat is the difference between fix/default/csys ? THANKS IN ADV

 Hello, I want to customize the serial numbers shown in a repeat region table in Creo drawings. Instead of using the default linear numbering (1, 2, 3, ...), I’d like to apply a more structured format like; 1_11_2234_14_24_3567This is especially useful when I need to group sub-items under a main item, or indicate logical associations between parts in an assembly.I've tried using rpt.index and creating relations in the repeat region, but I’m not sure how to dynamically generate such custom values.  What’s the best way to set this up in Creo so that the table updates automatically based on the model?

Hello, recently I am using CREO parametric 11 for a project, and I have found useful STEP files online that I need. However, when importing they seem to lose many features and even the ability to edit them in basic ways. Is there a way to import STEP files so that they can be edited?

We use a method of joining to sheet metal using a process called tog-l-loc also known as clinching which cold-forms the part metal using a special punch and die to form a strong interlocking clinch joint. The result of the process is a round, button shaped extrusion on the die side of the assembly, and a small cylindrical cavity on the punch side. The clinch joint requires only the sheet metals that were joined. No external fasteners, or welding is utilized in the process.I'm trying to re-create the joint using punch or die, does Creo have the ability to punch(form) two sheet metal plates simultaneously in assembly? The thickness of both sheet metal thins out after the operation. See attached image. Let know your thoughts or ideas. 

Hi,I am using creo 9 and on one of my drawings I have a section view that isn't showing up. The section shows fine in the model, but on the drawing, hatching appears on the view, but it is not cut.  I have tried flipping it and using a local section instead of a full section and switching from a projection to a standalone view. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. the 

Hello,I wanted to ask regarding the PCX extension. Is there an advanced version? or is the T1 package the only one available in creo? Also, is there a product list that I can look at to know the coverage of the extension? Thank you.

I have an assembly cut that has stopped working no matter how much I fidget with it. I've tried redefining the planes in sketch set-up, reference planes, adjusting the dimensions, restarting Creo, ....   If I add a new cut, the cut works fine.       There are 50 instances in the family table, so if I can help it, I would like to not redo the cut.   Using 10.0.7.0 for a long time.

it cause slower performance when i do loop with ProFeatureWithoptionsRedefine function, is it possible to turn Off Auto Regenerate after ProFeatureWithoptionsRedefine or ProFeatureWithop function?

A tool to create and manage a custom font. I am thinking of the possibility of creating a sketch for each character of the font, so that it can be used to shape writings or logos, that update in real time by changing the font.
