3D Part & Assembly Design

I'm trying to setup the piping module for use in our company. In the line stock menu you can set user defined parameters but they don't show up anywhere. I need them to show up in the solid pipe parts.I have tried with the following test parameters and valuesPARAMETER                VALUEMAKE_FROM               A1612309TESTMAKE                  BBTESTPAR                      12 I have tried recreating the pipe after changing the linestock parameters. I have saved the line stock every time.Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

When I open a big assembly, is there a way to open it clean without showing all points, datums, axis, coordinates ? See attach

I am on CREO 10.0.7.0 and I want to hide and unhide parts quickly by just pointing my cursor or at least clicking it. I was used to quickly hiding and unhiding parts with Tab and Alt+Tab in SolidWorks without even clicking anything.I tried H for Hide but it only works when part is selected on the model tree. If I have to go to the model tree, I might as well just right click and select hide.I tried these mapkeys below found on the community but they only work when selected from model tree. Is there a way to make them work when selected through the graphics area?mapkey hc @MAPKEY_NAMEhide the selected component;\mapkey(continued) @MAPKEY_LABELHide Component;~ Command `ProCmdViewHide`;mapkey uh @MAPKEY_NAMEUn-Hide the selected Component;@MAPKEY_LABELUn-hide;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdViewShow`;mapkey spo @MAPKEY_NAMESELECT THE NEXT LEVEL SUB ASSEMBLY;\mapkey(continued) @MAPKEY_LABELSELECT PARENT;\mapkey(continued) ~ Timer `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `popupMenuRMBTimerCB`;\mapkey(c

I have a drawing template where I want to set up the layer display by view on some sheets. I am able to read in a layer setup file for the .drw top model and alter/save the display status. I have not been able to find a way to define within the template the view layer display status. Is this even possible?   There are 16 drawing views in the template where I need to control the layer display via the view so if I can set this up in the template it will avoid manual setup when a drawing is created from this template.   This is a capture from a drawing using this template showing the layer tree use for layer display within views. I want to access the views in the template to define the layers display in the template. Obviously, there is no active model when working on the template.    

Hi,I am using one 3D model to represent two parts (one with additional holes in it, using representations. For the two parts, they have different decals due to the number of holes. So I created a surface where the decal goes for each representation, However, every time I check in my part, the surface becomes "hidden". And so when I look at the part in a brand new session (after erase not displayed, or closing and opening creo 8), the decal doesn't appear right. I have to manually "unhide" the surface from the model tree, and then it shows up correctly.  I have tried to check out, unhide, and check in. However, after closing the session and reopening, it reverts to the hidden surface. Any tips on what might be happening?  Thanks!

I have a situation where I'm welding components together that have a small defined gap in some situations.  In the case where there is weld blow thru, I'd like to specify they grind flush the opposite side.  The symbol attached is essentially what I want but I don't want the fillet symbol to show up on the other side.  There is no welding there, just a grind finish.   Seems the finish and contour specs are buried under the type of weld and can't be placed w/o a type.  Is there another symbol I can use for this in Creo or do I need to make a custom?  I'm using symbol comb_v_bev_sqr_fil. Creo 8.0.0.0 Thanks..

Hi, in Creo 10.0.3 I have included parameter PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL in family table in 3d part, while I am trying to create table which sows all selected parameters on the drawing PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL is missing.   Can you please help me how to solve this problem?Thanks! 

Dear PTC Community, I frequently encounter the following problem and I can't wrap my head around it. I'd appreciate if some of you experts would like to shed some light into the situation. I am trying to fill a portion of a component with lattice structures. I have separated the part to be filled as a separate component (you can find the part attached to this post as .prt, .igs, .stp). I am using Creo Parametric 9.0, and it only allows me to fill the part with formula-based lattices. When I try to fill it with beam lattices (e.g., hexagonal, see screenshot), I get a feature error. I also attempted to cut the body from a lattice cube using a Boolean operation, but without success. I tried this with many similar bodys, and can not get it to work properly. Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this is not working? My lattice Options:Option for hexagonal beam lattice Best regards,Garbean

Hi, I've tried to find the error in the problematic sketch, but I can't understand what is the error or where it sits. Somehow I was able to create exterior swept blend but not internal one with material removal... Have tried to sketch it identically to the other end of the pipe but the error is still there.The main pipe track has been copied from another part and rotated. But it works well wen I add paths at one end, but not on the other...  

Does anyone know how to construct that star shape with a simple white spine?I cannot get rid of the central lines generated by the corners of the three spikes, tried blending to a point or to a smaller star point, to no avail.And when trying to round those corners with an arc, I am having issues with connectivity between the arcs and the segments, and I am not able to get rid of those errors (no idea how to deal with them).Any suggestion is welcome!!

 Hi, can someone help me with why I am getting a regenerating failed error when trying to sweep the wire cross section along the hexagonal twisted profile.  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.1.0In Creo 11, after creating a new part (e.g. ctrl-n), the keyboard does not type an "@" character (shift+2) into the lower menu space (where the message log is shown), for example to trigger a mapkey name that contains "@". All shift characters have the same problem after a new part is created. I have confirmed that I can type the @ character into the menu space before creating the new part. The characters can still be typed into the "search" field so it is not a hardware issue. I have also confirmed that Creo 10 does not exhibit this problem.

I am trying to set the value of a parameter called DRAWNBY using the value of the environment variable %USERNAME% I have tried adding the following line to both the parametric.psf file and the config.pro file, but in both cases, the parameter had a blank value after starting Creo. I have verified the environment variable by going to the command prompt and typing ECHO %USERNAME% and it returns the current user of the PC.

Hi, Having some issue trying to get dimension text to display as intended, I'm trying to get a custom hole note to show:  6X etc etc......  I'm using the hole &P number, but as soon as I try to put the X directly after &p132 it will not display.I'm not sure what modifier I need to use, hopefully someone can help. Thanks. 

Hello every oneI´m working on an assembly and I just finished it.A co-worker renamed a sub-assembly and now it shows this error "file name changed, not checked out by you".I can do check in and check out to my assembly, but I am asked to remove that error. Thanks in advance for your support and kind response.

This is a new sketch, not a part.I want to rename the two dimensions to x = 15 and y = 20, and use, for all my dimensions, mathematical operations on x and y (instead of calculating and typing in numerical values), as follows...For horizontal dimensions x1 = 5x/7 and for vertical dimensions y1 = 3y/5, and maybe down the road x5 = 2*x3 and y7 = y2/4.Is this possible in CREO 10, and is it possible for a part as well as a sketch?I cannot find anything of that nature in the sketcher, right clicking on a dimension in CREO 10 does NOT bring up the DIMENSION PROPERTIES window.Apparently the DIMENSION PROPERTIES window does not exist in CREO 10 sketching anymore.Would the normal mathematical operators be used and what would be the correct syntax, for both naming and using the names in the subsequent operations?Like + - * / (addition subtraction multiplication division) and so forth...

creo 10.0.3.0 I can update a wire spools MIN_BEND_RADIUS, the corresponding minimum radius will be updated to reflect (in CABLE MFG>FLATTEN>LAY OUT). This does not seem to be the case with sheath spool (or perhaps a issue with bundles). I've tried:-Regenerating all models-Close/re-open-Modifying a bundle to use a different spool-Extracting wires and then adding them back in-Delete flat harness and start over     

Creo 9.0.80   Section cutting plane lines have varying thickness when rendered. Has anyone seen this before or know the possible cause of this? The line font appears to be hidden font in some areas and visible in others.   This drawing template is out of the EU, is this the correct render for cut lines under an ISO dwg standard?      

Hi all, I'm using Creo parametric 11.0.1.0.I have a pattern of sketches. Is it possible to project the pattern associatively to a single sketch?I attempted to select the rule "All curves in feature" in Rule-based references via the chain selection option, but was unsuccessful. What'm I doing wrong? Is there an alternative method that works? Thanks

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0Buongiorno,devo eseguire dei fori obliqui su un solido ma non riesco a modificare l'angolazione.Grazie.

Creo 9.0I have fixed this once before after scouring the internet (all PTC websites included) and by trying options that were obviously not the fix, I stumbled into the fix.  Not looking to have anything diagnosed, just looking for the super specific term that PTC uses to describe the corner anchor of a table. (view in My Videos) Sorry for the zoomed out video, but anything posted here is immediately public information. (read the terms of service)  With the risk of being terminated from my employment this is the only example I am able to post.

Using Creo 8.0.9.0 I'm trying to create an assembly that can be shrink-wrapped into multiple different skeletons, each with a different construction of the parts. I was hoping to be able to use a single assembly that has multiple states, so when I create a shrink wrap feature in the skeleton I could just choose the state I want to be visible. The purpose of doing this is for repeatability in the future, as previously the only way to update these shrink-wrapped skeletons is to completely reassembly the geometry in an already "released" model without saving, and then shrink wrap into the skeleton using the "last displayed" view option. Here's a dummed-down example: the part in question is a lever, and I want to create an assembly that has the lever in it, and can show it at 90 deg, 120 deg, 85 deg, etc. with the click of a button, and then import the geometry in that state through a shrink wrap into a skeleton model. I know I could use family tables, but in my case the ass

To all, I am looking for a way to assign, in an assembly, the same pos_nr needed in GPLM / WindChill, for BOM structures, without needing to do it each time for the same component. In the images below, I would need to pick in the pos_nr column for each one, change to Integer, give the value and then designate them. I am looking for a way that I can easily add it to all of them at the same time. We are finding it time consuming to have to do each one individually. Any help is appreciated.Dennis J RehmerABB

原来软件中，在截图画圈位置会有：无、常规、打断边、孔和轴的选项，现在为什么“孔”和“轴”的选项消失了？如何解决这个问题？谢谢！  

Hi communityI drawing  2 part:shaftHubI want to linked it with gear teeth  (involute profile)i drawing involute on shaft and hub with the same parameter when i assembly shaft and hub  i find low profile decal.  in the hub, i use a simple function for cut teeth profile in the shaft, i use un sweep function perhaps this decal come from sweep ?i am sure of my involute anyone have an idea ?
