3D Part & Assembly Design

I'm wondering if this is a bug in Creo (I'm using 9.0.1.0), or if I have mistakenly set a stupid settings...   I can't seem to create offset curves in the manner that I've been for decades. What I consider standard process to make an offset is: (1) Select a chain of curves, either one by one or with the chain selection (shift-select). (2) When I'm done selecting curves, an arrow shows me the direction of the offset. (3) I enter a value and I now have a chain of offset curves, comprised of individual curves corresponding to each of the curves I selected in step (1) What I'm seeing this afternoon is what's shown in the image. I can kind of pick a chain, but the offset curve it creates is a single curve, no matter how many entities are used, and I can't access individual entities in the curve (i.e. delete an unneeded curve in the chain so it can be replaced, or trim a curve with another entity, etc.). Is there a setting I inadvertantly toggled that activates this type of behavior? I

Hi, Is it possible to create an automated techincal drawing process in Creo Parametric. I am designing a lot of sheet parts and I don't need to give detail but in drawing I have to give maximum dimensions for sheet part. If there is a way to do it automated. It will save me a lot of time. I mean with just one click or a combination I just want to create front view and right view for a flat sheet part.I am doing it with mapkey but still have to give dimensions manually. Thanks in advance -Enes

Hi,I have several problems with the Modernized Project/Offset Tools in Sketcher of Creo 9.0.0.0.I wish I could go back to the old command present in creo 8.0...I explain what the problems are: PROBLEM 1:In creo 9.0.0.0 the project / offset tool does not generate the arc centers of a loop.  PROBLEM 2:After using the command I would like to be able to select specific segments and arcs generated with the Project / Offset command and then perhaps mirror them, but with the new command it is no longer possible ... all entities are selected as a group, is there a way to explode them? PROBLEM 3:The "Delete Segment" command is NOT ABLE to recognize the segments defined by a project / offset loop of a curve with intersections on the segments and references.P.S. Notice the yellow dots that delimit the recognized segments. PROBLEM 4:I would like my arc to have the same radius value as the arc of the offset chain, but the program does not allow me to set the constraint beca

Hello Community, how are you?Can anyone tell me how to create a simp rep from holes I made in an assembly? I need to hide the holes I made in the assembly and I tried simp rep, but it only lets me exclude parts and not characteristics. Has anyone done something similar?Thanks!!!

I'm running into an issue with Shrinkwrap where no matter what settings are used it always deletes the faces in screw heads where the tool would fit in. Is there something I'm missing that would make Shrinkwrap catch those faces without having to go through and select each individual one on all of them? The purpose is to send out gutted assemblies for the purpose of a 3rd party to make photo realistic images for marketing so having missing faces/parts is not ideal. See below for example of what's happening.

Hi,I have slow problems with the ModelChek.The slowness is due to the action of the antivirus.I would like to be able to exclude ModelCheck from the antivirus action by excluding its execution file or the folder where it is contained, but I have not found one or the other.Could you help me?Thank you.P.S. I use Creo 9.0.2.0

Dear PTC Community,i am designing a radiator, and therefore i would like to makes a pattern of the fins.i understand that a pattern with over 500 members takes some computing time and peromance.However, the pattern takes an eternity (5mins) to regenerate but my computer is not at all at its limits (see picture).i am working on a windows 11 pro and creo 9.0.9.0(Arbeitsspeicher means RAM)

Hi guys,   I was looking to get a Simulation license, but was curious about the thermal expansion capabilities and how it works.   Ideally, I want to model thermal expansion in parts and assemblies, and have instances of them at different temperatures, and therefore different sizes. Is this possible to do in Thermal mode?   Thanks Tom

This may sound trivial, but is there any way to check whether the size of a bolt is correct for the hole it is assembled to? For example, if we assemble an M4 into an M3 hole, there will be interference (could be checked with global interference). What if we mistakenly assemble an M3 into an M4 hole? Is there any way to detect it automatically? Thank you in advance.

I would like to transfer information by the functions that I use in my 3D on plans, let me explain.   For example when I place a chamfer on a hole, I would like an annotation to automatically appear on its plane (the best would be directly with an arrow but if it was noted in a corner it would already be great)   I know how to use the macro, the relation, the model parameter ... but even with everything that I cannot find (the solution I see would be to go through the PRO license of creo which I do not have 😕 )   thanks in advance

I have a model that is in essence a rectangle with and elliptical surface on one side (this is representative of a flat plate that rotates a specified amount of degrees in the X axis). I am now wanting to rotate this 360 degrees (along the Y-Axis, ROTATE_CENTER, shown below)to create a full on 360 degree swept volume so I can understand the full volume this will occupy in the real world. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?    

Is there a way to add tolerances or limits to hole notes via the hole file? Or have it show on the drawing after adjusting the tolerance to the feature within creo? For example, I am using &TAP_DEC to call out the decimal value of the tap drill diameter. The value is .397 but has a range from .396-.401. No matter what I do, I can't seem to have the hole note generate a given tolerance or limit. I've gone into the model and added the tolerance/limit and it doesn't regenerate the note with the new value.  Anyone have a work around to this?

Hello Dear Friends at PTC Community, What is the industry practice regarding level of details for MBD parts?  Should ALL features have ALL dimensions shown, in as many Combination Views as necessary (same level of detailing as in 2D drawing)? Is there a way to hide a model in Combination View?  Some of our Combination Views are packed with notes and models are not necessary (they get in the way actually).Simplified Representation works within assemblies, but not at part level. any chance someone here can share a good practice/high standard reference model, something I can learn from?

I am using the Creo 10 cable and harness application and hoping to find a solution to creating a flat and flexible ground strap. I've seen some electrical modeled assembly drawings that show flexible ground strap concepts, and I'd like to create the same effect. It does not need to show the fancy woven details from the manufacturing process, just a flat and flexible feature that I can assign its path with the "Location" section while connecting at terminal lugs at each end.  Regards, Chas.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.1.0Closing Creo with an error message :Unable to communicate with the display driver. the application must close.Here are the errors that I facedUnable to communicate with the display driver.error code : 2

When a new IFX fastener is created, a window for pattern (single instance / all instances) and the hole control (no hole / hole in part level / hole in assembly level) shows up (see image)   Is it possible to bring up this window on existing fastener, and edit it? Or would the fastener have to be deleted and a new one created in order to get this window again?  

Hi all,I found Creo schematics software yesterday, and I think it would suit my needs but I would like to ask a few questions, if some members of the community has encountered the case already. At my company we use to draw harness layout drawing (all connected harnesses of the project) on a single sheet. I believe this can be done using circuit diagram.In our harnesses, we are using ferrules and mark tube (on which we print wire label) because harnesses are connected to terminal blocks.My questions:Is it possible to define ferrules and mark tubes when creatins harnesses? Is it a built-in function or can we develop it by ourselves?Is there any terminal blocks templates already? Thank in advance.Nicolas  

In Creo, flexible components such as springs, mounted in an assembly, do not graphically show their flexibility when dragging. How to solve this behavior? What can I do? And without using the mechanism! In short, I would like to see the spring that stretches and compresses when I drag the purple component without having to regenerate at the end of the drag. thanks in advance to anyone who can help mestarting position after dragging the purple component after regenerated  

So, I got this model, that has an "Inherited Model Reference", so it should have an external inheritance feature inside that cannot be retrieved by Creo (Version 8, and 10). After you try to load this model, your session is corrupted in the following way:The File > Manage Session > Object List is empty [1].The Folder Browser > In Session shows the reference model [2].The Folder Browser > Workspace does only contain the model I want to open [3].Opening the reference model from In Session does not work (cannot be retrieved—expected, Object List).Opening the reference model by itself works fine. Having the reference model in session does not change the issue.Erase Not Displayed looks like [4], and results in an "All the objects which were not displayed have been erased." message, but the session remains unchanged (Object List, In Session, Erase Not Displayed).When we try to visualize this model in WVS I get the error "Failed to erase 1 files in session (-1 1)" and the pub

For the Creo drawing BOM.The BOM level should be automatically adjusted according to a size A3, A4 etc. , If needed move to the next page.Is it possible?

Hi,We are working on chassis design for off-road vehicles and we have very large assembly files. (Approx 10.000 parts) I am working on projects by excluding or including components but sometimes it takes time to process easy tasks. Our computers are workstations and they are very good but in very large assemblies it does not help. I know some ways to do but it didn't help much.Is there possible ways to increase performance? Thanks in advance -Enes

Hello Folks, I am using Creo 7.0 and partial or detail view generates as full view in pdf file when working online (windchill connected). But when I generate pdf file offline (with standalone creo / offline) same view remains as is as they are in creo drawing.I wonder if anybody faced this issue. Any help is appreciated!! Regards,Mani

Hi everyone, I am having an issue with fixing parts in Creo Parametric 6.0. We are a team which works on chassis manufacturing and we have a lot of parts in our assembly files. Sometimes we have some reference issues and we have to delete all constraints and fix all parts in assembly. I created a mapkey for this but it just does one part with one keytap. So we need to fix all the parts but faster. We are using Windchill PLM by the way. (If you need this information.) Thanks in advance for the help!

On the Creo 2D drawing, For the Sheetmetal fabrication BOM table, is it possible to show weight of each component and total final weight?

Hello Everyone,   We are working on an assembly having lots of sublevels. While creating some relations , when try to "Insert" -> "From List" , it shows the error message "Requested filtered table exceeds the number of allowed rows.Re-edit the filter or cancel."   Please help me to solve this issue.   Regards
