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

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?

I have fastener holes on a curved feature that looks likes it was created with a resolve. I checked the fastener hole edge curves on both sides of this feature, which is nonplanar. One side of the hole is made up of two split arc edges. The other side of the hole is made up of two spit spline edges. The spine edges is an issue in creating a fastener in Simulate. I tied to use the Round to edit the spines but if this is the correct tool I can’t figure out how to replace the spine edge with arc edges.  Does anyone know the approach to doing this? I only have the Creo Parametric not any advanced design add-on licenses.

Hello everyone,I have encountered an issue in Creo Parametric 11.0.2 that has been bothering me for many years. I hope someone can explain the reason or provide a reliable solution.I want to display the model mass in a drawing title block or a regular note, rounded to two decimal places: &PRO_MP_MASS[.2]For example, if the actual mass is: 0.058it should normally display: 0.06However, sometimes it displays: 0.058[.2]In other words, the value of PRO_MP_MASS is correctly retrieved, but [.2] is treated as plain text instead of being interpreted as a decimal formatting modifier.What is even stranger is that if I edit the same note and temporarily change it to: &PRO_MP_MASSAfter confirming, I edit it again and change it back to exactly: &PRO_MP_MASS[.2]it may immediately display correctly as: 0.06During this process, I do not modify the model, material, or mass properties. I only re-edit the note.This issue can occur both in the title block and in regular drawing notes, so I susp

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

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?

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! 

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

Hi everyone,We use Mathcad Prime at work, and our license is managed through our own company server. My employer gave me the IP address and port details to enter into the settings for activation. However, I can't seem to find where to download the actual installation package.Our IT support told me to get it from the Mathcad website, but I can't find it there, and I don't have an official PTC account to log in. Any advice on what to do?

When I import an assembly STEP (stezni_pribor_asm.stp) into Creo’s Part mode (File > Open > .stp, Type = Part, Import type = Geometry), the resulting part has wrong geometry: some solids in the STEP file come in as open quilts, some components are missing, and the rest overlap.Creo reports: Warning: Importing assembly in part mode. Geometry may be wrong.WARNING: One-sided edge found in IMPORT FEATURE. WARNING: Unattached IMPORT FEATURE was detected. WARNING: Unattached IMPORT FEATURE was detected. WARNING: Feature creation resulted in overlapping part geometry. Warning: Design intent is unclear. Use Geometry Checks command on the Tools Tab for more information.The same file imported with Type = Assembly comes in perfectly - every solid component comes as a solid, correctly placed. I have attached the step file and screenshots of both imports - the same STEP file imported as a Part, and imported as an Assembly for reference.Questions:1. Is Part mode supported for an assembly STEP,

I created a new drawing a part in one of my workspaces, but between switching to other projects I forgot which workspace I created it in.  How do I search all my workspaces for this part and locate which one it is located in.  Is there a way to search your workspaces?

Pure Variants 7.3.2 is Here Pure Variants 7.3.2 was released on September 24, 2026, and is available for download by customers with a subscription or a valid maintenance and support contract. The update is recommended for all customers. Release HighlightsThis is a planned service release for Pure Variants 7.It includes multiple performance improvements that have a significant positive impact (up to 97% faster) on variant model evaluations which include 100s to 1000s of feature models and family models.It also adds a self-service "Database Usage Analysis" report to the model server's web status page that provides a sizing overview of a customer's model-server database (project, branch, version, model, element, property, and content-size statistics, plus per-table row counts and disk usage) without needing direct SQL access to the database.The full list of addressed issues can be found in the change log.

My junior cloud engineer job provided me with a bit of confidence in approaching my research for my Google Cloud Certification, but it also brought about a certain question that I couldn’t simply overlook: Would my daily use of Google Cloud be enough to make decisions in the same way as the exam requires? I had to get the Associate Cloud Engineer certification for my career advancement.I initially assumed my hands-on experience would make preparation mostly revision. I was already familiar with the services, so I expected straightforward questions. But that assumption changed fast.When I started going through actual scenarios, I realised just identifying a service is never enough. You have to understand the full scenario, spot the requirements and constraints, then pick the right solution. It is then that I decided to look at the Google Associate Cloud Engineer questions from another perspective. It was not just about learning how a particular tool works but knowing the reasons behind
