Hello all,I am curious if anyone has made the move from Wiris’s MathFlow for Arbortext to Wiris’s MathType for XML Editors in Arbortext successfully. If so, were any problems encountered in your transition? Is there anything not covered in the MathType documentation that you found helpful to know? If your workflow involves publishing XML to PDF, are you able to print math with MathType installed? If so, which print engine do you use in Arbortext?My organization has encountered some roadblocks with this transition, and I am curious if anyone else has made it succesfully.Thank you

I am trying to design a 2 stage epicyclic geartrain in Creo. i have assembled the sun, planet and ring gears of the two stages separately. how do I assemble the two stages together? the output from the planet carrier of the first stage would be the input to the sun gear of the second stage through a splined shaft.What constrains should I use and where?Or should i assemble everything in one assembly? Any help would be appreciated.

We are experiencing several intermittent issues in a CAD/PDM integrated environment and would like to understand whether other users have encountered similar behavior.The main symptoms reported by users are:Sometimes a Save operation does not appear to work correctly. Sometimes, after Check-in, locally modified data is replaced by the unmodified data from the commonspace. Sometimes drawings are published with incorrect attributes: the drawing itself shows the correct attribute values, but the published PDF contains different/old values.The issues are intermittent and do not occur consistently on every model or operation.During our investigation, we have observed that some of these cases appear to correlate with CAD structure/dependency processing performed during PDM operations. In particular:CAD structures can contain external references or other inter-document relationships. During operations such as Save, Check-in or Save As, the integration traverses the CAD structure and its relat

When accessing the server, which does not have network access, I open Kepware > Licence Utility. There, I can see my license with a Support End Date of 05/2024.I received a .lic file from our partners, which is supposed to be the renewal license, and the file is already available on the server.Back in Kepware > Licence Utility, I click Renew > Import File and select my .lic file. After confirming, however, nothing happens.Can anyone help me with this?

Good Day!I am attempting to assist a customer in deciding which version of Pure Variants they may wish to implement. I admittedly am still learning about Pure Variants, and seem to be tripping slightly.What is the difference between Desktop Client and Web Client? Is there a link or table I can use to help them out?

Hello,We sometime change your mind during the assembly about how or if a component should be traced.Change the Trace Code value for an Instance Child is not possible in a Part Instance or in a Part Configuration.Windchill 12.0.2.8We will have to do a lot of work to just update this attribute for one Child.Example:1-Modify the Base Part, which is in Released state, that's mean a Revision (And a Change Notice).2-Create a new Part Configuration for this new version of the Base Part. (And set version of untraced child)3-Assign the existing Parent Instance to the new Part Configuration.4-Re-allocate all the child with trace code previously allocated.=> But if there is already a new revision on the Base Part, this is not possible by the user because the only way is to iterate the previous released revision.It is possible to allow modification of the usage attribute Trace Code for a child in a Part Instance or in a Part Configuration ?Thanks

After a month of experimenting and testing stability for PTC Creo, I would like to share my solution that will allow you to freely run PTC Creo on your Mac 😊Tested Requirements:These are the requirements that I have personally tested, any other version/device may not work similarly.Tested VMware Fusion Version: 13.6.4Tested 64-bit ARM Windows 11 build: 26100.4349Tested Mac Devices: Mac Mini M4 (24GB RAM), MacBook PRO M1 Pro, MacBook Pro M4 Pro, MacBook Air M3.Tested Creo Releases: Creo 10, Creo 12Tested MacOS Operating System: Tahoe 26.0.1Installation Steps:Download the latest 64-bit ARM Windows 11 build, or better, the one I listed. I sincerely recommend CrystalFetch app (it's free) for getting the ISO file. Create a new Virtual Machine on VMWare Fusion with the previous ISO.Install your Windows operating system, update it, configure it to your liking, etc...Make sure that in your VMWare settings you have enabled the following:1) Settings -> Display -> Accelerate 3D G

Hello, I need additional information to those available in the Help Center documentation for Part Configuration and Instance.Windchill 12.0.2.8When allocating child Instance in a Parent Instance Structure, it is OK to have Untraced sublevel BOM containing child with Trace Code Serial Number or Lot which will be allocated from this Parent Instance ?It seems that this is possible but it is recommended ?In our case, these untraced level in the Manufacturing BOM Structure are like Gathering Part, it correspondent to intermediate advancement of the assembly, not item in stock.For me it is OK until these untraced sub-levels have a quantity of one, if up to one, there is a problem to link child occurrence with Reference Designator (Position in the product).What is your point of view ?Thanks

Hello, i think i have a similar need to this topic: Part Instance Allocation | CommunityContext: Engineering to order, small batch of End-Product <10.In our BOM, i have a big number of fastener with a “Lot” Trace Code.All these fasteners are from one “Lot” coming from a sub-contractor and need to be used in the same end-product instance.I would like to be able to select multiple occurrences (From different Part numbers if possible) set with “Lot” Trace Code and allocate in one action this Lot Number.=> For me, this must not be allowed for a Serial Number because by nature it is a single occurrence.Actually, we need to allocate each occurrence one by one.=> It can be one of the argument to stop using PLM for the as-built BOM and manage it all outside the PLM.A solution should be to create a Gathering Part in Manufacturing view grouping the fastener and supporting the Trace Code Lot Number but this may complicate things to manage replacement for loss or breakage and later to aut

I am using Windchill Bulk Migrator Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.2.0 We are performing a CAD data migration using Windchill Bulk Migrator (WBM) from a source Windchill system to a target Windchill 13.1.2.0 system. The migration involves CAD files such as Creo .PRT files. The physical CAD content is successfully copied/moved to the target vault and the file is present at the expected target file path with the expected physical filename. However, when the primary CAD content is downloaded from the target Windchill UI, the downloaded file is given a .PHA extension instead of the expected .PRT extension. Please advise how to correctly migrate/load the CAD content so that a Creo .PRT file is downloaded with the correct .PRT extension.

Hello everyone,I am facing an issue while thickening a surface model in Creo Composites.The same surface model can be thickened successfully to 4 mm in Creo Parametric, and the entire part becomes a solid body as expected. However, when I use the same layup thickness in Creo Composites, only part of the model gets solidified.As shown in the attached image, only the green-colored region is converted into a solid, while the remaining areas are not solidified.Are there any specific limitations, geometry checks, or composite-related settings that could cause partial solidification in Creo Composites even though the model thickens correctly in Creo Parametric?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello, regarding the groove turning command in the turning module: can we specify an angle for the tool's approach and retraction? Also, for profile turning, if it is possible to use multiple passes instead of a single pass, how do we set that up? Thanks. 

Hi everyone, I’ve been using Creo Flow Analysis for quite some time and run into a frustrating issue in Creo11 where the ‘Open Projects’ button becomes inactive.  here is the work flow:ran a thermal-fluid simulation and reviewed the results saved project close and restart creo when trying to load the analysis again, the open projects button is disabledAll associated project files are present in the working folderThere are non-ASCII, no spaces, no special charaters in the working folder path.  Has anyone ele encountered this in creo 11? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I’m trying to install PTC Creo Student but I’m getting an error and I’m not sure what the problem is.The error message says:“Installation failed. Please check the installation log file for more information. You can restart the failed application installation or click Exit to close the installer.”Does anyone know what might be causing this issue or how I can fix it?Thank you! 

We use Inventor and AutoCAD. However, when we open CAD data from the workspace, the CAD application window does not automatically come to the foreground. PTC Support provided the following response:Due to a limitation of WGM, the CAD application window cannot automatically come to the foreground when CAD data is opened from the workspace.This behavior is not limited to Inventor and AutoCAD. It also occurs with NX and SOLIDWORKS when they are integrated with WGM.The related article is available here:https://www.ptc.com/ja/support/article/CS452958?source=caseviewer&as=1As I understand it, this issue causes inconvenience for all CAD users, regardless of which CAD tool they use.Could you share how you handle this issue in your environment?

When I open the installer for my free trial and get to the application selection screen there are no applications to select and I cannot click next. I’ve seen this posted in the past but none of the solutions are working fore me. Any help is appreciated. 

Good morning, I spun my wheels on this for a while yesterday, and now I'm looking for help. The attached file was created in MathCAD Prime 8.0. In order for it to work, make sure that the csv file and the mathcad file are in the same directory. What it's supposed to do is accept a csv file with a specific structure and convert it into a vector of properties with MathCAD units. It was supposed to be a short program, but I'm running into a bug that I can't seem to work around gracefully.  When I have the READCSV(filename) function inside of a program, my output has no units, but when I have my READCSV function outside of the program, it works.  I want the READCSV function to work inside of the program so that I can call multiple csv files and combine the properties of each, otherwise the purpose of my overly-complicated data entry experiment is moot. Please help!  Thank you,Kevin
