3D Part & Assembly Design

IFX in Creo 10.0.4.0When using IFX it standard creates holes in modifiable parts. When you don't want that you have to set it manually each time to "Do not create a hole".Is it possible to have it default always set to "Do not create a hole"  for all parts? 

Hello Community  Till date I am using Creo Parametric 6.0.6.0. but since last few days I am using Creo Parametric 11.0.3.0. I make model which have 2 machining operations in single model. I want to make individual drawing for both operation with machining symbol so I used family table and make two separate part for both operation. When I created drawing of both part and place machining symbol on machining surface. When I place machining symbol place on second machining operation face (in instance part drawing), obesely which surface not show in my generic model. So when I opened my generic model meanwhile second operation machining symbol failed in generic model. I attached images for reference. Please help me how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.            

Hi I am currently working on CREO 11, when calculating mass properties for any CAD file, the results always comes up as scientific notation (MASS = 6.0445521e+01 GRAM ).I tried looking and adjusting descimal dislplay in the configuration but it does not affect the mass calculation results.scientific notation results                Is there a way to get the mass calculation as:MASS = 60.445 GRAMThanks

Why there is even wire create option ? I cannot follow a second wire along with the first created wire. !. CABLE does it much better and flexible. So what is the advantage/ Vs / when to use. between both?Thanks Advance! PL enlighten me with your thoughts. 

I do not see a dedicated community for Cabling Corner. Can PTC add that? or where to look for if already there? Thanks! 

How to use CREO software to create animated videos?Do you have any information to recommend?

Mesh export in fem mode Nastran with singular node is taking too long to export. Can someone suggest any tips to increase the export speed. meshing is quick but export to Nastran takes more time

Where did the Angle snapping setting go in Creo 10 for drawing lines at specified angles on drawings?I can't find it anywhere.

Hello everyone,I have a question, I want to build animation of Electromagnet in Creo 10. Like in this video:I build a model with a curve, which the electrons can go throughHow can I use the slot Connection and pattern here?I tried to make 2 Point on the electrons to have the similar distance of them, but it doesn´t work 

Hello Community!We've had difficulties with cross-sections in a specific situation :We want to show section like hereunder to detail the hole profile : And this is the result we get :It seems to be related to the section plane position : I believe this is because there are counterbore surfaces on the same plane as section plane and Creo seems to absolutely hate this : In every community post I saw that were slightly similar to my case, the best working solution I saw was to set an offset for section plane. I tried here with a 0.01 mm offset and it works. Do you have any idea where it comes from? And is there any other resolution to this problem than cheating with an offset? Thank you in advance!

Hello,I am attempting to scale an item I received from an outside source but whenever I try to use the Scale Model function, the assembly/part does not go under any changes. Is this because the item should have definitions within it, such as sketches to transform? The item I received had no internal sketches or dimensions, so I wonder if that is the cause? For reference I am looking to save the nominal item to a proportionally smaller size and I am on Creo 8.0.11.0

I am having an issue where routed cables are offset from the single connector entry port instead of centered around it. Is there a setting that controls this? I don't recall this ever happening before and after many tests it seems to be most pronounced when using multi stranded cables (twisted pair shown in the attached image).  This is producing some unwanted artifacts when moving into drawings and flat manufacturing harness.

How do I recover a Creo Schematics Design? Creo Schematics frequently crashes and when I try to reopen the design I was working on, I receive the error below. In File>Environment I have "Automatic design backup" checked and I set "save design information" to every 20 operation however the autosave folder for each project is always empty. It does show that a recovery file was created called recovery_9-11-2023_15-16-0.rcv but I don't know how to open it in Creo Schematics. I am using Creo Schematics version 8.0.0.0.    

I am trying to display wire endpoints in a section view of my cable assembly & only the centerline will display, Even when I exclude the harness.prt from the section view in the model it only appears when it is not behind a sectioned area.  Everything I find online suggests: Drawing View → View Display → Cable Display→Thick but that does not resolve my issue. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Hey all, another what could be just a simple question. I have to insert 45 degree angled lines quite often and the only way I know how to do it is inserting a line close to 45 degrees, adding a dimension, then clicking and dragging the one end of the line to as close to 45 as I can get. 45 degrees doesn't need to be exact in this application but is there any way to do it easier other than adding a symbol or the way I'm doing it currently?

Hello, I want to create Geometry simplified representation by Creo 10 (I have very huge assembly and I do not need info about nested features/geometry from subassemblies). In the past in old Creo, was possible to create Geometry simplified representation. In Creo 10 I have found option: simprep_default_model_status graphicsbut is not working. When I create new rep, system always create only Automatic representationAny ideas how to make Creo faster for huge assemblies?Thanks, Vladimir 

HiTrying to establish the correct way to layer mechanisms within assemblies for a driveshaft/uni joint setup.I have found a few ways that make it work, however they all seem a little cumbersome. What i currently have is 3 main assemblies 1. Input containing a yoke with a pin constraint2. Output containing a yoke with a pin constraint3. Driveshaft with sub assemblies  - universal joint with pin constraints - driveshaft with a slider constraint When assembling these im assumining that i should be using a rigid constraint to put the driveshaft assembly with 2 sets to attach to the Input/Output shafts, however this does not want to work for me. Should i be assembling the driveshaft into the main assembly as a mechanism also? or nesting this differently?  Also within the Uni joint, Should the cross be the default with the caps all allowed to rotate? or one set of caps fixed and the cross & alternate caps be allowed to rotate? Its seeming

Hi all, I think I discovered a bug in Creo. I am trying to follow this tutorial.  Hide the sketch from one drawing view and keep it visible in another drawing view in creo parametric However, this method only works when I hide the sketch in the Model. If it is showing in the model, then the exported PDF shows the lines as well. Also I have tried matching drawing properties as in the video. See in above image, 'PRT_ALL_CURVES' is hidden, but it still shows. for some reason it doesn't matter if it's showing or hidden on the drawing, the model overrides what the drawing exports. If I export the drawing with the model hiding the sketch, then there is no issues (except that the drawing still shows the sketch, it just hides it after exporting which is also extremely confusing/frustrating). Thank you,Jeff Houston

We've been having a problem lately with assembly drawing x-hatching not looking correct after save-as to PDF.  This seems to have happened since maybe CREO 9, possibly earlier.  But it seems to get worse with each release.  It starts out with an assembly drawing with x-hatching.  It looks fine.  But when we save-as to PDF, the x-hatching looks messed up.  I have attached some screen shots of the PDF showing x-hatching not looking correct.  This is not the only drawing it happens on.  It happens   Currently using CREO 10.  Thanks in advance. 

I try to understand, why, in Creo 9.0, the the sketching, the Project have been changing. The new way to select the line to project is longer to work with it.  In the past, we chose Sketch Complete loop, and we chose each line one after the other.  Now, we have to chose one line, chose chain, then chose the Rule-Based, then the rule we want, ok, and to finish to tell the command that we want to create the geometry...  A work that will normally have taken maybe 30 minutes to extrude in solid a dxf file send by my client, will surely take a few hours.

What settings in CREO would allow me to fast navigate a BIG assembly? Any secrets any tips will help. EXISTING is frame by frame slow movement of the assembly. Thanks in advance for your reply.

When copying the default simple_drilled.hol file into hole file location which is set by the config option HOLE_PARAMETER_FILE_PATH, I get a format error once I use the hole command to create a hole. The error is:Format error in fastener input file : N:\AMG File\AMG CAD ROOM\Creo Library\Hole Files\simple_drilled.hol at line no: 8 The only thing I changed on the default file is PRO-VERSION to 24 from 25 because I would get a fatal crash and remove the ! to un-comment the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA section as shown here: HOLE_TABLE_DATAPRO_VERSION 24TABLE_TYPE SIMPLE_DRILLEDCALLOUT_FORMAT DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATAHOLE_TYPE DRILLED_DEPTH CSINK CBORE EXIT_CSINK CALLOUT_FORMATSIMPLE_DRILLED VAR YES NO NO DRILLED HOLE &DIAMETER &VAR_DEPTH &DRILL_DEPTH I have tried all kinds of combinations to try to figure out the format error.  PLEASE HELP!!

I'm working in an assembly in Creo 7.0.2.0, and I am trying to determine the interference between two objects. I want to determine the distance between the two furthest points of each object to determine how much they are interfering with each other. I found the "Pairs Clearance" feature that lets you select two objects, and it will show you the clearance between the two closest points of each object. I was wondering if there was a feature that did the same thing for interference parts, so I can determine the extent of how far the two parts are interfering. I have tried the "Global Interference", but it just outputs a volume and not a distance. Does anyone have any more experience with this? I am somewhat new to the "Analysis" tab and have only used it for measurements and mass properties.

Looking for some helpful tips on when to use bodies and not to use bodies.  We moved to Creo 10 recently(from 7 i believe?).  Creo 7 had bodies but it wasn't something i was really interested in learning then.  Seems that Bodies have come along way in the 3 generations(and even more in 11). Looking to get feedback on how you use bodies in your daily part modeling/assembly work? Things i've started to do now at the part level instead of the assembly level:Dowel PinsI'll model the pin at the part level now and assign it as a body(can xhatch it differnetly at the drawing level).  I no longer need to have an assembly created for these.  This also makes GDT much easier at the part level instead of the assembly levelThreaded InsertsI'll either model a helicoil myself or do Get Data -> Import and import a threaded insert as a body into my model(assembly via csys).  Much easier to handle the drawing this wayI think i might do some plug welds for cross

Current Status:The dimension for the increment of a pattern is entered with 6 decimal places.The dimension is displayed with 3 decimal places. (option default_dec_places 3)When editing, the dimension is displayed with 6 decimal places.So far, everything is correct. The pattern is redefined into a table pattern.All dimensions are rounded to 3 decimal places, meaning that values are unintentionally changed ☹️ Enhancement request:Decimal places that were originally entered should be preserved in pattern tables. No automatic modification of dimension values by Creo.
