3D Part & Assembly Design

So I have multiple models in a single drawing, if I just select "&view_scale" it pulls the parameter from I'm not certain.  But IIRC there is a way to select the ID number for the individual component and pull up what that parameter is. I want to say I used this successfully many years back in a large assembly and/or family table.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Please see the image for reference.

For reasons I don't want to bother you with, I would like to export the mechanism model (like the set of mechanism connections or constraints ) of an assembly to MatLab. A mechanism model is basically a set of coordinate systems with transformation rules the describe the relation between a slave coordinate system to its master coordinate system.How could I export the relevant information out of an assembly or mechanism model? (This is not a Creo version related question, but I use currently version 9.0.5.0,)

Just got bumped up to Creo 11 and needed to work with someone else's files from 10.Try to open the top level assembly, immediate crash to desktop in 11.Try to open the drawing for that assembly.  Also immediate crash.Open the files in 10 from the old computer (which is in a dungeon) and I see that some parts are getting flagged as unstable.I track down and remodel those parts and the file still crashes in 11.I check the log file and the last part before the crash is a big circuit board.The circuit board model opens but it's an import of an incredibly detailed model.  My computer, which is a little old now but extremely beefy, stuggles opening it.  There's individual circuit traces and individual part labels as solid models on the board.  There are tiny resistors that imported as five bodies.  There are also a bunch of vertex errors on the tiny text and some of the parts.  I go into Import data doctor and delete a few thousand bodies and surfaces, the board

Hello team, I want to rearrange the dimension text symbol by default.

Hi,the green object has two constraint sets (1 and 2). I want that the pattern of the green object (1 green + 2 red), follow the first object (green) in his new set constraints (constraint set 2): what is the procedure to obtain this?   Best regards

We have a customer who requires 3D models:Objective: Get native S3D objects. The Contactor could send the SEED to a Vendor/Supplier to generate the package model. This model could be copied in S3D Contractor production plant. Does Creo have the capability?

Some of our harnesses in the real world are coming out longer than the dimensioned drawing shows when bundled.I measured in Creo.  If I measure the lengths of the individual segments, I get 350mm.  If i measure the overal wire, I get 379.  That's over an inch of difference.Any help would be appreciated on how to alleviate this.Creo 9.0.3

Hello,  I use 3D annotation to dimension my assembly. The dimensions are organized in annotation features and with combination views. The models of a combination view are also restricted by simplified reps. The 3D model dimensions are shown on the drawing. There are different views corresponding to the simplified reps. To avoid a cluttering view when opening the 3D model, the annotations are removed from the default all combination state. When I activate another combination view (also another simplified rep) the shown model annotations, like dimensions and geometrical tolerance, disappear from the view. The tree icon is greyed out and with at black square overlay.  I can get the dimensions back when I add all the model annotation to the default view. But as mentioned this is not what I would like, because it clutters the view when opening the 3D model.  There are some SPR's related to this: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS11232

I have many users that use the Dark theme in Creo parametric 9. The note color is yellow for that theme. When exporting to a PVZ the text color is also yellow. How can I change that so they can keep the dark theme and export the note text to black or whatever preferred color?I tried changing the the system_colors_file to C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.3.0\Common Files\text\system_colors\light.scl but that did not resolve the issue. 

The picture is from a PVZ in creo view 9 saved from creo 9. The leader should be attached to the other end of the gold part. The gold part is exploded but the leader points to the spot where it would be if the gold part was not exploded. How can I fix this?  

Hi all, In Creo 8.0.9 - while i preview a subassembly from Creo it is showing some different subassembly to the actual subassembly.   It is particularly for this subassembly it is mismatching. I have attached images for reference.    

Hello, This morning, I reopened some files (from Windchill workspace) and continued work on them from last week. At some point, I realized that I wasn't connected to my organizations Windchill server, so I saved all of my work, and closed Creo (through task manager), reopened, and logged into the server. At this point, many of the files I was working on stopped appearing in the directory. What's weird is that some files were reverted to a very old state (prior to this morning session), while some file which were created recently (during morning session where not logged into server), were saved, and some files created and saved prior to this morning were completely deleted. I have no idea what to do and this is causing many hours of lost work. Please help! (Creo Parametric 9.0.3.0)

Hello, Using the technique described in the post by Jossie titled "Ordinate Dimensions on a detailed view - different sheet," I am having what appears to be random instances when the Baseline Ordinate dimension jumps from the main view to the detail view. The process I use goes like this:1. On a default drawing view, that includes ordinate dimensions, I create a regular dimension.2. I right click that dimension, toggle to ordinate.3. Then I select that ordinate dimension and select Move-to-View, selecting the detailed view for it to move to. So far so good. What happens next has me baffled as I cannot find a consistent cause. While making other typical drawing modifications at some point the Baseline Ordinate dimension jumps from the original view it was created on, to the detailed view. This both places the Baseline in a location where the edge would be if the view wasn't detailed, not helpful, and worse it kills the attachment for the other ordinate dimensions on the d

  

Hello, I've recently had a problem where I would add files to my workspace, but when I open my workspace in Creo, they will only show up if the workspace is inactive. The moment I activate the workspace to open the files in Creo, the files disappear, only to show back up again when I deactivate the workspace. As a result, I am unable to open the files in Creo. Has anyone else had this issue? I've tried making new workspaces, reinstalling and uninstalling, etc. I am on Creo 8 and 9.

Once I open the STEP assembly file, it shows an assembly containing one sub-assemblie, as shown in the attached image.How can I avoid this sub-assembly file?

please let me know, how can i set white background after rendering  attaching here with one image which i am receiving after rendering .    

We are using the welding module in Creo but we are having problem obtaining the weld spesification number in reeat regions in the table on the drawing. Like sequence ID and rod material is no problem, however &weldasm.weld.SPECIFICATION_NUMBER or &SPECIFICATION_NUMBER does not work, link to the documentation are here: https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r9.0/usascii/index.html#page/welding/About_General_Parameters.html# We guess it is not possible with repeat region to collect sequence ID with the same specification number or?

When creating a new part, we start with a start part template, such as a round part. Instead of manually double-clicking each dimension and typing the values, we would like a window to open when the template is called. This window will prompt us to enter the outer dimensions, and the new part will be generated with these specificationsplease find the attached image also

I need to maintain the length of 4 locked flats on a locked shape.  The depth of the locked shape is variable and is controlled in a family table.  I have 8 rounds which are applied to the transition between horizontal and the locked flats.  If I increase the thickness of the shape the 8 constant radii will alter the position of the 4 flats that I need to maintain. Normally I could keep a parametric relationship of these flats within a sketch.  To avoid reworking my geometry and just for the sake of curiosity I am wondering if there might be a way to parametrically have the inside corner radii to decrease and the outside corner radii to increase based on the thickness change that was made to the shape? Below is an image of this shape which defines the solid rounds and identifies the flats that need maintained.If this isn't parametrically possible I will modify the model to develop the relationship that I need using a sketch with all of the radii and a

I have an assembly that is broken into several different simplified representations.  I want to use a BOM table in my drawing for consistent balloon numbering. The best way I see to do that is to use a component parameter "LINENUMBER" in an assembly that will store the line number for a bom table in every instance simplified reps.   I've entered Linenumber as a component parameter for a few components, but a problem I run into is that when I have instances of hardware I have to enter this parameter individually for all the hundreds of screws and washers.   Is there a way for me to enter the component parameter for all instances of a component without having to work with Windchill? Creo 7.0.7.0

Hello there, I've got a problem I can't get my head around and I hope some of you have got a suggestion for me.I'm trying to to import a STEP file (an assembly) into Creo and the problem is that all the parts name get changed and doesn't stay the same as per the original file. The get renamed like MG_100000 etc.Does anyone know how to make Creo to keep the original part name?

I am trying to animate a mechanism for a presentation but I keep getting a warning that says "Capture Warning: Capture failed due to compression failure". This only occurs if I enable "Render Frames". If I disable this option the capture will work but the quality/resolution is terrible. Anyone know what would cause this issue? I can't find anything online related to this error.

Creo 9.0.4 is going to 'not responding' state. Tried re-installing, clearing cache.Verified config.pro. Nothing seems to work. Could you help with some suggestions other than graphics card?The same configuration for different users seems to be working fine, but only for one user, it's not working.Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support!

Hi,I would like to change styles of the same sketched line used on two different views and on two different sheets. In the first view, and in the first sheet, I want to use a  yellow "geometry" style line.In the second view, on second sheet, I would like to use a yellow "phantom" style line.I've tried to use the "Layout --> Line Style" command: when I change the style of a line on one sheet, it change the style on the other sheet too. Is there a method to obtain this result? Thanks a lot.
