3D Part & Assembly Design

Hello. Please tell me how to move the second dimension line below the angular dimension line as on attached picture? In a usual linear dimension, it is enough to move the text to a new line in "Dimension Text" and it wraps under the line, but in angular size this does not work.

Hello. I've been using CREO (first 7 now 10) for less than a year. I pick through stuff to get my job done. The training I received was = none. So, I want to show dual dimensions in the Measure results. Right now, set to English Inch. I want also Metric millimeter as well. I click on the "open options dialog box" and only see option for one unit. Does CREO 10 allow for multiple units displayed during Measure command. I searched System Options and even the search bar. I didn't find anything. That is why I'm here. Please note I am not asking for dual dimensions for drawings. I know this is an option. Just Measure tool results display. I hate having to use calculator for every measurement. Thanks

Dear Creo experts I would like to apply the isogrid, or better hexagonal net, on the outer side of surface in attached file. The quilt is unflattenable. I have study the examples above, the trajectory rib method, but no way, not works properly on the open side surface. I have just no idea how to do that. Thanks for support. Rosta  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM080Interference check feature is not able to find out interference between the two items.

Hi Creo Community,    I have converted the creo drawing file units from inch to mm. upon doing so the fonts of all the text got very minute and smaller. I have fixed it by updating the text values to mm equivalent of inch.   However still in diameter and radius dimensions the horizontal leader line is missing. See attached image. I have highlighted in red.   I would appreciate your help with your suggestion on how I could show it back? Thanks so much!  

I am working on some big drawings with several sheets.  As I work along - the drawing elements keep changing, and it is making me crazy. For instance, the note boxes resize on their own (going to multiple lines) when I am moving an unrelated view.The dimension lines keep jumping around (set them all perfect, then when I come back to the page they are extending to never-never land).  (For that matter, some of the dims move too.)Views move, and sometimes overlap.  I make the page perfect, then go to another sheet, but when I come back, views have moved.Extra leaders suddenly appear from notes pointing to nothing.I keep getting these weird errors saying it can't regenerate some features - but in the model space and assembly space, they regenerate fine.Sometimes the dimensions and notes look correct with respect to each other, but the model has moved, so the dims and notes are going to nothing.  It's like a refresh error, but it won't refresh back to where it belon

Hi, I'm a new users of Creo 11.0.2.0I have set in my configuration (view the attachments) the option "Automatically Scaling a Sketch" but it's not work. Are there some other configuration to able or disable? Thank you 

Adding cosmetic threads to a shaft or hole in a model did not give expected results.  I would have expected a surface texture map or some feature easily seen.  Is there a way to display these threads?

Hi,I try to build a mapkey that automatically select the CS feature above my last copygeometry feature.To do this I have a first mapkey "--lf" that select the last feature in model tree and a second mapkey that search for parent CS of my copy geometry. but It doesn't work. If I replace~ Select `selspecdlg0` `RuleTypes` 1 `ParChild`;%--lf;\by~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.AssyTree` 1 `T3 621`;\than it works but reapeating the mapkey later in model wont give the right CS as it will always pick `T3 621` In the end I would use a similar mapkey to select the last 3 features in model tree and group Cheers, Robert mapkey --lf @MAPKEY_NAME--lf select latest feature;@MAPKEY_LABEL--lf select latest feature;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdMdlTreeSearch` ;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Select `selspecdlg0` `SelOptionRadio` 1 `Feature`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Select `selspecdlg0` `LookByOptionMenu` 1 `Feature`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Select `selspecdlg0` `RuleTab` 1 `Attributes`;\ map

Hi,Is there a good, current source for downloading Creo Material files? I am looking for commonly used metals and plastics. It seems crazy that every individual or organization has to create their own material library. I'm assuming this has been done many times, but cannot find a definitive source online. -Scott

OK, so, how do you hide some quilts, and show others? I have a part that has tapped holes top & bottom.  When I make my top view, I want all the stuff hidden below that surface.  Easy enough..   'No Hidden' and 'hidden line removal for quilts' = Yes. Sure enough, all my hidden lines are not shown, nor my hidden holes.  BUT: my shown holes, hole on the top of the part / in the view, now have their quilts hidden.  (SO they are just thru holes, no pretty pink circle to show / denote threads) OK..  'hidden line removal for quilts' = No. Now I see the quilts for the threads in my tapped holes.  Problem is now I see ALL my outer circle to denote threads on hidden holes.  (So I see all the threaded portions, but no 'hidden holes' or other features) SO, how do you hide a quilt on a tapped hole, that is a hidden feature in the chosen view?  And have the quilts to denote threads appear on shown holes?

The note for a cosmetic metric thread (in our Creo5) look goofy when they specify an M16.000 thread with a 0.500 pitch. I have had no success with the various "LEAD TRAIL ZEROS" detail options. These notes don't seem to have the same functionality as our regular hole notes (for which we have created our own versions) Does anyone know of a solution for this? Thanks, Vince  

What software do I need to open and view a .pha file?  I tried Creo View Lite, but it doesn't support it.

I have seen this before, just can't find it. We are thinking of creating BOM tables to compare different assembly configurations in a single table. Is there an easy way to do this in Creo?  Assembly 101 Assembly 103 Assembly 105 Assembly 107 Part number Description X X X X 101 Main Piece X   X   102 Support A   X   X 103 Support B X       104 Top Cap 1   X     105 Top Cap 2     X   106 Top Cap 3       X 107 Top Cap 4

So I've been working on a very simple part with some GD&T callouts and have now encountered my fourth issue trying to do basic annotations (Creo 6). This time, I've noticed that attaching a runout callout to a surface results in a filled arrow in the feature control frame (I'm not talking about the leader arrow). When attaching to a witness line extending from the part object line, the symbol in the feature control frame turns into a stroked arrow. See attached image. This is frustrating because attaching to the witness line is the only way I've found to enable a gap between the FCF and the object line when placing the FCF against a surface. Another question so I don't keep making posts, how does one callout a set of chamfers that were all made in one set of the chamfer feature tool? Show Annotations gives me AxD dimension, but not the 2X callout. I added the 2X in the attached image, which is not parametric and thus not preferred.

Hello All, Software Version: PTC Creo Parametric  9.0.3.0 We are trying to use the repeat region of a drawing table to input assembly data from left to right. However, the system default inputs this information from top to bottom.  Specifically, we have a cable assembly that is made up of a single cable and a terminal on both ends. I would like the repeat region to input the data horizontally rather than vertically. We are using the repeat region symbols:asm.nameasm.mbr.nameWe have tried the asm.mbr.name:1 or :2 to see if the code will have the individual part for the respective column but this did not populate. Is the below example possible, or will the system default always be a vertical entry and there is no possible way of changing it to horizontal? Want to have Table Example:Assembly PN          Cable PN         Terminal 1 PN          Terminal 2 PNAssembly 1  &nb

I am using the ANSI Flare Bevel weld symbol in PTC Creo 8.0.8.0, and there seems to be a large space between the flare bevel symbol and the flush and grind symbol. So much space that the flush and grind symbol hardly appears to be applied to the weld symbol.  Can this space be reduced relative to the rest of the symbol? Or maybe another solution? I've tried changing the font size, but this makes everything smaller. I've also tried the different weld symbols (simple, combination, braze, and ISO) but none of these options are a good solution.  Not looking for a solution involving adding a sketch line and/or Text Note.  Thanks for your time,Kevin 

Hello, I have created an MBD with several notes that contain a hyperlink to another combined view. People in the factory can click this link and the corrosponding view pops up. This works in Creo Parametric (10). However in Creo view it only works when you click the actual text instead of the text box. So for example the empty space inside an "O" is not clickable.Is there a way to fix this?

Hello, everyone. I am looking for a way to identify cabling/harness elements, specifically ".prt" type by using a repeat region.So far, by using "asm > mbr > type" it is possible to identify parts, assemblies and skeletons. By setting the repeat region to find certain properties in the parameters, I can identify sheet metal and piping components. But, I have not found a way to identify cabling parts. Yes, in my case I have them modeled from the cabling application. Yeah, I know there are some repeat regions configured to list cabling/harness properties, BUT I cannot enter 1 by 1 in the subassemblies and set them as primary model for my tables. Then: I need to find a way to identify cables from a master assembly or top level. It can be by invoking a parameter/properties to include in the repeat region that only cabling elements have. Or any other identifier.NO: at this stage of the project I cannot add a new string parameter saying it is a cable. I ha

TLDR:  Is there a way for a table BOM balloon to have multiple leaders pointing to the correct objects? We have finally made the move to tables and balloons in our newly created assembly drawings.  It took  14.56 seconds after we went live for a user to bring up a scenario w/o an immediate solution. When we were creating dumb part number notes we would create a leader to each part in an assembly.  Example would be PEM fasteners in a plate of sheet metal.  If there were five of one part number in one location and six of another part number in another location, we would just put a leader to all items of a part number Now that we have moved over to balloons we are using split quantity balloons (image balloon_1.png).  To accomplish the same result we would need a balloon on each part.  In this case we would need 14 different balloons for the two part numbers.   What the user ended up doing is shown in balloon_2.png.  Get

I just noticed a strange behavior in CREO 10. In my model tree I selected a single part representing a volume (extruded feature). Within this part/volume I'm packaging other components. I want to see through this volume to see the other parts. So, I select this Volume (2nd art in model tree) click Edit Modal Appearances... and change the transparency setting to see-trough. What happens is another part (3rd item in modal tree) transparency also changes. I noticed this and wanted to turn off transparency. When I edit this part (3rd) whatever changes I make impacts the other part (2nd). Why are these two related for Appearances? How do I break this relationship? Mind you I am only selecting one part to apply transparency. 

I am in the process of transferring thousands of Solidworks parts over to CREO 5 and trying to create a macro that sets material and converts to Sheet Metal for us.  So far so good with that, but in order to create the Flat Pattern as part of the Macro it requires a face to select as the correct Orientation.  I'd like to automate that as well if possible but the top face of the flat pattern could be different for each part, so I'm wondering if there is a way that at time of creating the Flat Pattern "Rep" the correct orientation could be saved as well?   In the Flat Pattern Preview window it automatically positions the view oriented towards the flat face, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to have it use that view and save it as a new Orientation.   For anyone helping me with this to understand what I am doing here, after the Flat Rep and correct orientation is created I then have a macro generate a new drawing (for Flat Pattern only) using a template th
