How to change the display size to a larger size to reduce the blank background. to use as much background space as possible.creo system conversion to jpeg and new uses of space Thanks 

When you pattern a UDA the UDA does not update its references with the instance information in the pattern. Does anyone have any good work arounds to this?   I am making a isogrid similar to this challenge:https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Creo-Parametric-Community-Challenge-2-Isogrid-on-a-Curved/td-p/902365   The surface is a freeform surface and I have a UDA that measures from the freeform surface to the core pocket to determine the minimum thickness along the pocket edge and then creates a flat bottom extrude based off that minimum thickness point.

In drawings, if the added model is not used on the drawing sheet, it will result in a constant association between the model and the drawing. It is easy to cause the relevant object page of plm system to appear when checked into the system. Redundant models need to be deleted and re-checked in. However, when there are many models, they can only be deleted one by one, which is very inconvenient. It is hoped that multiple batch deletions can be supported.Another suggestion is to add some obvious prompts to inform users of the existence of redundant models, so that users can detect them early.The command menu is located at:Drawing > Layout > Drawing Model > Delete Model

In Creo:  Goal to create 3d representation of the following.  Imagine 30 golf balls (2” dia) on a rope 100 feet in length.  Balls need to be evenly spaced out starting from one end of the rope with a distance of 3 feet apart.  The rope with balls to be wrapped around a cylinder 2 feet in diameter.  The difficult part is to illustrate the tangent points where both the balls and rope make contact (interface) with the cylinder it’s being wrapped around.  Note the height and diameter of the cylinder can change to adjust the number of balls on the rope.  The target it to make both the rope and balls tangent to cylinder at touch points.

Hi,My company uses Creo AAX to make assembly guides which I have self-taught myself how to do them. I am using Creo 10.0.6.0 and wanting to know if there is a setting that allows me to see the instructions in the bottom left of the model area, it only shows the step number, exploded state and simple rep. I would like to see the description whilst building the guide to quickly see if it makes sense, sure I can edit the step then edit the description to see the description but that can build up as our guides vary in length 8 steps all the way to 28 steps.I want to show this without editing the descriptionso that it appears in this viewIs this possible?

Previous functionality had a "Reset Component Position" (I don't remember the exact menus) which allowed you to reset the explode position of one component. It put the component back to the unexploded position without changing its explode state. I just assembled a small component into a Creo 9 assembly, which, in the exploded view is off into space somewhere. Of course, that destroys drawing views, detail views, etc.. I have run into this many times in the past. PTC tech support is useless on the subject. Often I just have to create a new explode state to make it work right - without a bunch of useless moves which mess up explode lines and require a ton of work on the drawings. This all seems so ridiculous. Where did it go? Does anyone know where PTC has buried this very useful functionality? The UI fails the intuitive test, for both me and PTC tech support. PTC support documents are useless as usual. This document says "Reset" but I don't see the menu.  The on

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.4.0How can the standard ISO weld symbol be used to show a staggered intermitant linear weld. When you add the values for num_of_welds, seg_length_linear and pitch_dist_liner the numbers cross over the staggered Z part of the symbol. There seems no way to move the Z or space the values using spaces to staddle the Z. The symbol is a standalone annotation in the drawing and not used with the weld fuction.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.2.0I created skeleton with multiple solid bodies and then created part from the bodies to build an assembly from these parts. In Creo everything is fine but problem occurs when I try to export an assembly to a STEP file. STEP file is generated but does not contain any geometry when imported. This is relevant only for assembly or parts created from skeleton bodies. Skeleton as a part is exported but does not contain all the futures because some futures are created in the parts. The first feature in parts crated from skeleton bodies is Extern Copy Geom with automatic update. I have tries use different export protocols but results is the same. Bodies is not set as construction bodies.Here are the errors that I facedWarning message upon opening STEP file: "Could not construct feature geometry"

How can i remove whole tab with networkdue too high error risk of clicking on network and than waiting for it to unfreeze for 4 minutes we need to completely remove whole tab so nobody ever click this

Hi All, I wanted to use distributed batch to run a mapkey to generate BOM text file of an assembly.  It loads the first 10 models, keeps processing them, but never ends, and gives no error information. My ttd. file:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- 05-Oct-09 L-05-10 CHI $$1 Submitted --><!-- 07-Jan-10 L-05-14 CHI $$2 Remove out-of-date comment --><!-- 17-Feb-15 P-30-03 mtch $$3 Added group --><!-- 15-Jun-15 P-30-11 mtch $$4 Added save_model --><!-- 13-Oct-15 P-30-18 mtch $$5 Added drw to FILTER_FILE_TYPES --><TTD version="1.0" created_by="PTC"><DESCRIPTION>Run a mapkey defined in a config.pro</DESCRIPTION><GROUP>Misc</GROUP><DETAILS>Will be run on any file type; user is responsible for choosing types that mapkey will operate on correctly.</DETAILS><SERVICE name="dbatchs"/><FILTER_FILE_TYPES type=".prt .asm .drw .sldprt .sldasm .catpart .catproduct .cgr"/><!-- Replace "F1

Using CREO 9 here. I have been noticing in some instances the way I build my parts can leave me with sever small/thin "sliver" surfaces. Are there any settings or parameter selections I can use to avoid creating these little slivers? 

I want to be able to add a sheet at the front of my drawing file on occasion when a project generates important notes. While also not being assigned a page number. Starting all my drawing templates with a "blank sheet 1"  so start of the drawing package is on sheet 2 is not an option. I'd also like to create this sheet on old drawings if possible. Adding a new sheet (1) would bump all my page numbers and this is an undesired revision. If its not possible, I will stop bothering with this idea. Thanks!

Is there a good way to inject a new System of Units into an existing part?  existing assembly?  Customer requested a change in reporting which requires different units, but I have maybe a couple hundred parts and assemblies to do.  Mapkey is not super consistent, so wondering if there is a good way to import?Creo 9.  Am I missing something on the dialog box?

Hello, I've been using filters for a long time but never was satisfied with cliking to select window and choosing specified one. So i desided to create mapkey for myself fo without desturbing workflow i could change filter by using mapkeys. Here comes the problem:In PTC Creo PRT and ASM filters are different in this list. Not much of a problem if mapkey knew about choosing element in this list by it's name but look at what it does when choosing it.in some cases there is ID in list in other name of elementI would like to syncronize mapkeys for both PRT and ASM so they are the same but feature in PRT is "1" in ASM is "6"is there any other place where can i change this filter but not in the bottom right corner so it chooses filter by it's name not by ID in list?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.1.0How can hole features be distributed across the surface of a cube with large rounded corners on all edges? The purpose is to represent the shaping characteristics of a metal mesh stamped into a cube. all these surface need to have holes along with surface UV

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.10.0We have encountered an issue when inserting UDFs into MBD-models in Creo.The problem specifically concerns the loss or corruption of attached annotations and references defined within the UDF. The behavior we are seeing includes the following:- Orientation of annotations is lost after insertion.- Certain dimensions are suppressed and must be manually deleted and re-added.- Geometric Tolerances (GeTols) are not updated correctly when references already exist in the target model:- While dimensional references from the UDF are reassigned to existing model features, GeTols retain their original references from the UDF, resulting in inconsistencies. Further details and visual examples of the issue are provided in the attached PDF.This behavior is problematic for our downstream process chain, as we rely on consistent annotation data for:- NC program generation (CAM)- Automated creation of measurement programs- CAQ and inspection

I have a problem with identifying what is wrong with the Intersection paths for Sweep:It seems like an easy fix but I need some fresh eyes to catch it.

Hi,When using the hole table function in 2D drawing, it creates a bunch of labels on the holes. However, these labels are right over the hole, which makes them half readable.There is an option to move it to the left or center, but this isn't enough to push it away from the hole.How can I specify how many pixels or mm away from the hole I want the label to me?Thanky!Using Creo 8.0.9.0

Hello. I need to make hole tables on two different sheets of the drawing. Moreover, on the second sheet the numbering of the hole labels should continues, and does not start from the beginning. I already understood that it is impossible to do this in Creo. So, I want manually edit table and labels on second sheet. However, when Save drawing with Modelcheck, all my edits are reset. For example, I change the name of the tag, after I click Save with modelcheck, the label value returns to the original. Maybe someone knows where in Modelcheck settings I can disable this automatic update of tables and hole labels?I have already read the information in the articles CS356185, CS428784, CS38790. There is no info about Modelcheck settings.

Hi, a long time ago I managed to customise the text styles in drawings. But I can't remember how or where. Do your know how we can add custom text styles to this list ?  

I have a config option setup(i think config) a very long time ago(10+ years at this point).  When in at drawing i can Right Click and then Left Click over an object and it will automatically bring up the Pick From List option for me to cycle through.  Its extremely helpful and quicker than right clicking then changing my query option in the menu then selecting the part.   I'm at a loss at how i set this up so long ago.  i set it up on another coworkers computer and he can't remember what we did.  We have some new people that have started recently and i think this would very beneficial for them after watching them do some detail work.   So, anyone know how to make the Right Click Left Click Pick from List option the default setting? Thanks!

I am the Creo Admin for a Creo/Windchill reseller. Currently using all versions of Creo We have a customer requesting an improvement in Spell check.  One of their requests is to use it with MBD.  With the rise of MBD, Spellcheck can only be used in a 2D drawings.

Hello,   Right now I am working on an assembly with multiple parts with similar geometry. I wanted to know if there is a way for me to select all geometry with the same dimensions/features? Attached below is a reference, where I want to select all roller geometries without having to individually select them.   Thank you.   

Hi, I would like to know if I can create IFC files in Creo version 10.0.3.0 with 2 license which has subscription and 9 license which do not. I want to create BIM files using IFC but before I buy it I want to make sure that I can use it in my current Creo version.    Kind regards
