3D Part & Assembly Design

Hi,I am currently working on creating an interface between Creo 9 and KISSsoft. I am following the manual provided by KISSsoft (2023) to complete the necessary steps, but I am encountering difficulties. Additionally, the information available online is quite limited, which makes troubleshooting challenging. (I have tried all three variants from the manual) Issue: When I click "Create New Gear" in Creo 9, an error message pops up. The message refers to Applisoft, which I´m have also contacted. However, when I check the specified folder, there is no such file present.If I create a file with the suggested name and then click "Create New Gear," nothing happens — not even an error message anymore. So what is wrong? Also this text is in the Creo console: (Nothing there is linking to the Folder above) Or is there a specific procedure I should follow to make this work (e.g., opening certain files first, executing specific steps, calculate a gear first, etc.)? Thank you

While working in Creo, I see that the “view change” window opens every time in the assembly parts we open in the Windchill system, which I share as a screenshot below. Although I have corrected the errors in the system, this screen appears every time I open the assembly file in Creo. Actually, I found the solution to the problem, but I want to know what the root cause of the error is. In which error situation this screen appears. Can anyone write if they have information about this subject?

Hello, is it possible to create a flat harness with wires that are not in direct contact?As in picture 1, it is composed of separate wire. the problem is when I decide a start point, I can not go and look for another point on a non-attached wire.I would like to know if it is possible to do everything in one flat harness or if it is necessary to separate each wire that does not touch into different harnesses?

Hi all, I'm in quite a pickle here. I have a multibody part, but the performance is getting horrible (file size is nearly 1gb), so I need to split it up into a new part file for each individual body, and remove unused bodies I have done this part, but now I am left with a single part, but it of course still has all of the features from before the 'Remove Body' feature. I am looking for an expert's take on what the best course of action is. Do I manually go through and delete each feature that doesn't contribute to the end-body needed? I have thousands of features, and about 10 individual bodies that I care about. As such, individually selecting the unused features that I want to delete will be very time consuming. I am wondering if anyone has a better way to do this, or has been in a similar situation. I would appreciate any advice! Thank you,Jeff Houston

In Creo 10 Is it possible to move the location of the Section to the Top of the ModelTree or even attached this to the Insert Here line.  Is there a setting controlling this location.  

Hello there, I'm currently dimensioning an epicyclic gear reduction system and I was wondering if it was possible to use the CREO 9 (the version used in my school) parametric functions to dimension this system directly in the assembly. For example, for a given number of teeth on the sun gear, an input torque and an output torque, it might be possible to calculate the planet gear teeth as well as those of the ring gear, and thus directly modify their dimensions. (including the center distance between the gears, the pitch, tip and root diameters, etc.) I've already done a few tests but they didn't lead to anything except errors. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Creo: 10.0.0.0 education version Hello everyone, i am trying to create a sweep in the shape shown here:I tried using the sweep blend feature but this results in weird interpolations between the segments. I know that by just sweeping from one section to another the interpolation is linear, but i want some sort of spline as shown in the sketches. Here is the image showing the interpolation. Using the blend feature to control the sketch with trajectories doesn't work properly. I do not know why the trajectories are ignored here, but when i change the sketch to an ellipse at leas one trajectory is followed.Maybe someone can help me with this, since i am out of ideas what parameters i need to change in these features to get my desired result.  

If I am not a designer, but an analyst that adds cad to my workspace and labels, takes pictures, makes leader notes for my own reports, is there a way to preserve items like notes, model colors, after i perform a model updated to check new geometry, fasteners, materials.  I usually work in a separate self made assembly, so technically i could make items in this assembly that are unique and don't belong to the real cad being built but it seems like notes refer to part features.

I am making sweeps and swept blends using datum points then creating a curve through those points then sweeping along that curve. The datum points exist as one feature, Is it possible to edit the feature to insert a point at the start or halfway down the list? I'd like to add a point after point 7 in the screenshotCurrently I only seem to be able to add a point at the end of the list.I'm using creo 8.0Thanks in advance 

When creating a counterbore style pin hole with IFX, the software defaults the 'thru' diameter (labelled 'counterbore diameter' in the UI) to 1/2 of the nominal pin diameter.  Our manufacturing standard requires a different diameter - is there a hole chart column that can be used to drive this dimension to a specific value so that the user doesn't have to manually change it every time?We have tested with the known hole chart columns and none seem to work.We are currently running Creo Parametric 10.0.5.0.

I have a rivet I want to show in an assembly. The rivet data was 'imported'. In order to show the installed/deformed position, I added a 'deformed' feature that can be controlled by a flexible dimension. The Master Rep displays the 'imported' rivet AND the deformed geometry. I created a Simplified Rep (INSTALLED) which displays the deformed rivet without the 'imported' rivet. So far, so good!   The flexible dimension will allow me to display a deformed/installed rivet for different panel thicknesses. When I add 3 flexible rivets into my assembly, I can change their dimension to fit 3 different panel thicknesses (0.75-inch, 1.00-inch, 1.50-inch). However, the display shows both the 'imported' rivet AND the deformed/installed rivet data. When I active the INSTALLED Rep, all 3 rivets default to the original dimension (1.50-inch) and do not hold their flexible inputs (0.75-inch, 1.00-inch, 1.50-inch).   Why won't a flexible dimension hold when changing the assembly to a simp

I am currently using Creo Parametric 7.0. I want to switch between open windows using Ctrl + Tab like every single other software does. I searched for a while and found no options in the software or even anyone asking about it. Is there some way I can make this a keyboard shortcut or something? Is this feature just not integrated into Creo at all?   

Hello.We've recently switched from Creo4 to Creo9, and in Creo9 I'm facing a challenge I never had in 4:In part and assembly design, when I hover over geometry, some of the surfaces appear to be highlighted in "broken" or xxx-patterned highlight, like below: while other are fully shaded, as if masked with transparent layer : for both, selection "repaints" them just fine with selection color. Went trough all reasonable config options I could think of, all regarding highlight, transparency, selection, with no visible changes. I'm looking for a method to achieve consistency in the highlight, preferably with all being the second option, without xxx pattern.Thanks 🙂   

When I want to delete a part from a sub-BOM in an assembly in Creo, the part is not deleted from the BOM. What could be the reasons for this? Can you help me with this?   Translated by the moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Creo'daki bir montajda alt ürün reçetesindeki bir parçayı silmek istediğimde, parça ürün reçetesinde silinmez. Bunun sebepleri neler olabilir? Bu konuda yardımcı olabilir misiniz?

Hi there... I have a logo designed which I need to extrude onto the surface of a part.  I have copied the font into the Creo 11.0.0.0\Common Files\text\fonts folder, and the font shows up in the Font list Sketching > Text dialogue box.  I can write out the logo onto the surface, but it doesn't seem extrude. I cannot spot any node gaps either. The font is a really common Windows font: Berlin Sans FB.  Is anyone able to see if you can extrude any words using this font?  Unfortunately, this site doesn't allow me to attach a copy of the font but it should be in your Windows folder if you use. I'm really puzzled

I recently upgraded to Creo 9.0.1.0, and was working on a drawing when I started using the new Surface Finish workflow.  I've asked a few other users around the office and no one can seem to figure out where the "placement" options went that allows you to to decide whether you want a leader, normal to entity, on entity, or free placement of surface finish.  Does anyone know the answer to this? Screenshots below of what I'm talking about.  Creo 8 and before Surface finish Creo 9 surface finish options.  Can't find the placement options anywhere. My company doesn't normally use leaders for surface finish. We put them on the dimension lines or on the edges themselves. Thanks, Doug 

I have a requirement to auto-populate the Creo Parametric revision history table on drawings from the Windchill information (Revision, Modified By, Modified On, and Revision Description (IBA)). The Revision Description will also be a Creo parameter.   The requirement is there needs to be intelligence so that when the drawing is revised from revision 0 to revision 1, the revision history information for revision 1 is automatically applied to the next row of the revision history table from Windchill, and the revision 0 information is maintained on the drawing. The same will be true for all new revisions after that. Once the drawing is revised to revision 7, revision 0 is dropped from the revision history table, all other revision history information is shifted down one row, and then the revision 7 information is added to the last row; and so on for all revisions after that.   Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this?

Dear community,I'm facing frequent crashes in Creo, particularly when using Render Studio on large assemblies. Thankfully, PTC has implemented a feature to recover files after a crash. However, I've encountered an issue where the "Open" button is always grayed out, preventing me from accessing the recovered files.Has anyone else experienced this problem? thanksusing Creo 9 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.4.0 This is customer issue. Any Editing in part results in software crash.

Hello all,   I have a assembly which is checked in. When I try to modify it I end up having a conflict box asking me to check out or continue. I want to avoid this conflict box avoiding and set default value as continue. I used dm_checkout_on_the_fly and set it to continue but noticed it just the continue is set just in conflict box as default but did not get applied I have to select okay eveytime. Is there any option by which I can apply value as continue instead of setting default value in conflict box.   TIA

Hi,I am trying to create a motion skeleton that will move a part based on a cam type profile.I need help defining the connection circled so it stays on the curve when the "cam" moves side to side.I do not want to model solids, I just want it to be based off a sketch.Thanks for any guidance or help.

Hi guys,   to add notes in drawing i am copying text from excel, then pasting it using unattached note. i want to save my custom notes in different names under Insert filed option. to optimize the process.   Is it possible to add custom note under insert filed option. kindly help me on this, if there are any other better option please guide me.  

Hello @PARTHIBAN_K,A very nice in-depth explanation indeed. I am facing some issues with creating 2D shell pairs for my assembly due to surfaces and / or some components within the assembly overlapping each other. Because of thus, I can not use "review geometry" feature too as it gives errors. Could you please help me out and guide me with solving these errors? Do I need the model to be remade where the components of its surfaces do not overlap each other? Or can I use some other way to mesh like "thin solid"? Please guide. Thanks in advance 🙂   Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Analysis/Shell-Idealization-Over-the-Solid-Model-in-Geometric-Element/m-p/446841#M1377

I am using Smart BOM, my company requires that if there is an ALTERNATE (or SUBSTUTUTE) part, the new "ALTN" part need to have the same FIND NO with the main part .  For example: Main part is "ABCD" and FIND is currently 6, above FN6 is FN7 with part # "AFGK"I need to add new part "xyzk" as ALTN to FN6, it will have the same FN 6 as the main part and sit in between FN6 and FN7. In the next message, I will tell about how I make it but it still NOT working as we want. JUst tell the community what I already tried to make it. We are using Creo 7But if newer Creo can make it, we can change to new version.  Thank You

Hello! I am working on a project where a piping system is being modeled in Creo (v 8.0.3.0) and is desired to be analyzed (pipe stress analysis) in AutoPIPE (v 23.00.00.230). So far it looks like the best (if not only) way to take the working Creo model's piping geometry and plug it into AutoPIPE is via a Piping Configuration File (PCF), where (1) Creo is able to generate a PCF and (2) AutoPIPE is able to import that PCF .  So far I have been mainly been focusing on step (2) to make sure I know what information in the PCF can be interpreted/implemented in AutoPIPE, and have been able to identify a couple of additional inputs that I would like to have added to the PCF (as shown numbered in red below).I'm now going back to step (1) (Creo -> PCF), and I'm trying to figure out how I can incorporate these inputs into the piping that exists in the Creo model (if at all possible). I've tried looking through PTC documentation on how to change/edit information in the Piping Sp
