Hi @OliverGräbner I would like to create a fastener library compatible with the IFX module.First, I am trying to link an existing family table with the keyword FAMTABLE.To do this, I have created a .dat file, as shown belowSCREWTYPE 1UNIT MMSURFACE 49AXIS 82CBSCR DIN974-1 R1INFO <Screw_test>!Enter the name of the Family Table Part!---------------------------------------FAMPRT VIS_CHC_INOX_JYSYMBOL STRING DN LG B S DK K DG PINSTANCE STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P#FAMTAB M<DN> d4 d6 d15 d17 d5 d7 d16 @pas My family table contains several instances using an item code for each instance.When I launch IFX, the thread box remains empty and I cannot choose a screw size.I also get the following error message:No valid data foundDN Vis_chc_inox_jy.datI think I have a problem with the STRING box in my .dat file.I tried with a family table with two instances and simpler file names, but nothing changed.I looked at all the posts, but none of them answered my question.Could you

Many moving pieces in the Creo Parametric Automation Space…Automation of CAD designs and documentation is becoming a VERY HOT subject.  But there is a right and wrong way to do this.  Best advice - always focus on the data. How does it come in? What purpose does it serve? Where does it need to go? What happens when it gets there?  etc…   These are core to good automation with Creo Parametric - and control of that data and flow through the environment is the key to acceleration.  We have been doing this a long time, and have built our tools around this core concept of “data flow” to leverage what Creo Parametric does well, and overcome limitations with the automation of data and process to leverage it.So a few updates regarding some updates and new things at Simplified Logic, Inc.Creo Parametric Tools Update (Creo 8-12 officially supported)Nitro-CELL - Creo Automation / Excel Interface Nitro-BOM - Creo Bill of Materials / Excel Interface  Nitro-PROGRAM  - Graphical Pro/PROGRAM Editor CR

I purchased and installed Mathcad Prime 12. However, I now understand that, because I am using a Dutch Windows 11 OS, Mathcad does not start. First of all, I find it unbelievable that PTC does not mention this very clearly beforehand, but that you are only confronted with this after purchasing. What really makes matters worse is that, although you start from and with the English website, you are redirected during the installation process to a Korean website, which is unreadable. So now I am stuck with a Mathcad version that I paid for and for which the 1-year period has already started, but which I cannot use. I would like this situation to be resolved ASAP.

Hello,I am looking for help with an issue involving sheet metal flat patterns, Creo Parametric, and Creo View.I am using Creo Parametric 10 and Creo View 12. When I create a flat pattern of a sheet metal part in Creo Parametric, the automatically generated bounding box overall length and width dimension annotations display correctly in Creo Parametric.However, when I open the corresponding file in Creo View, those automatically generated flat pattern bounding box dimensions do not appear in the Creo View viewable state.One thing I have noticed is that if I create manual dimensions in Creo Parametric, those manual dimensions do come through and display in Creo View correctly. The issue seems to be specific to the automatically generated dimensions created during flat pattern creation.Has anyone else seen this behavior with automatically generated flat pattern bounding box dimensions not publishing or displaying in Creo View? Are there any settings, publishing options, annotation display

Hello, I  have been a paid user continuously since Version 1 back in the 80’s. In some important ways, Prime is still clunkier than earlier versions. I find I have to leave the keyboard, grab the mouse do some clicking on the document and then resume typing  to add every new region.I generally like to create my documents in two columns: equations in one, and text describing them right beside, but nicely aligned. In the old days you could type an equation, press a key (possibly it was Tab) and it would skip right and you could start typing text. Another key (return??) would take you to beginning of a new line and you could continue.  These days Tab only moves you to the next existing equation or document top, except it doesn’t even do that  if you are in a text region.How can you exit a text region and get over to the beginning of the next row without grabbing the mouse.  That is a lot of down and left arrows to press?What I would like isan easy keystroke to leave an region and go to th

Hi everyone, I am trying to remove the attach notes from drawing view, anyone knows how to do that.I tired using ProDtlnoteErase with that it will erase the note until next regeneration.Please refer the picture (I want to remove the SCALE 3:1 note) and the code.void glass_drawing_anote::RemoveNotes(void* app_data, const std::string& target_view, const std::string& target_note){ ProDrawing drawing = (ProDrawing)app_data; ProError err; ProDtlnote* p_notes = NULL; int n_notes = 0; // Collect all notes err = ProDrawingDtlnotesCollect(drawing, NULL, PRO_VALUE_UNUSED, &p_notes); if (err != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR || p_notes == NULL) return; ProArraySizeGet((ProArray)p_notes, &n_notes); for (int i = 0; i < n_notes; i++) { ProDtlnotedata note_data = NULL; if (ProDtlnoteDataGet(&p_notes[i], NULL, PRODISPMODE_NUMERIC, &note_data) != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR || note_data == NULL) continue; // Get attac

Hello all,Long time Creo user, i started with a Logitech MX mouse, after a few years had a wrist pain. I switched to MX vertical for several years, no more wrist pain but now it’s the elbow. I read that a trackball could be ergonomically better than a mouse so I’m looking for a model. Anyone here using a trackball ? Do you have a model recommendation ? Models to avoid ? I’m using Creo for CAD and Esprit for CAM.Thanks.

Trying to look at ways to improve the speed of Windchill.  I ran the following SQL to find possible areas for improvement.  How many of you build new indexes inside of Windchill?  It looks like WorkItem would benefit a lot.  We do a ton of Change Notices and Change Tasks.SELECT migs.avg_total_user_cost * migs.avg_user_impact AS improvement_measure, mid.statement AS table_name, mid.equality_columns, mid.inequality_columns, mid.included_columnsFROM sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups migJOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats migs ON mig.index_group_handle = migs.group_handleJOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_details mid ON mig.index_handle = mid.index_handleORDER BY improvement_measure DESC;Maybe something like this?CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_WorkItem_MainON WorkItem (idA3C4, status)INCLUDE (idA3A2ownership, createStampA2, modifyStampA2, updateStampA2);

I am aware of this utility:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS115390?source=search and database mods are sometimes easy to do but I think its time to sick an intern on this project. For those cases where I import some data that needs to start life at a higher revision other than initial, I need a clean way to alter the current identifier to something else. I can envision the UI being a simple drop down list or validated textbox for user entry but would need to accept a new version letter and alter the object. Supporting multiselect would be nice too. It also should handle erorr checking caveats to maintain sanity. Posting here if anyone else has thoughts and can supply some useful requirements I can fold in. Willing to share results with field when complete. 

It is said that in order to run PTC Mathcad Prime, you must have the latest Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.x package for Windows x64 installed on your computer. At the same time .NET 8 end of life (EOL) is November 10, 2026 – after this date, Microsoft issues no further security patches or bug fixes. EOL means real risk: unpatched vulnerabilities, compliance failures... Am I missing something? It seems rather serious. It looks as if I have to skip the latest version. Does Mathcad Prime v12 work with .NET 10?

Hi Team,Looking for suggestions. We have limited Creo Parametric licenses (PROE_DesignAdvP T3 and PROE_DesignAdv T2). Is it possible to control license selection via the Creo launch .bat file so it checks FlexNet availability and automatically switches to the next available license if the preferred one is fully consumed?I’ve tried using lmutil lmstat in the batch file to check license usage. it checks the license count then close the launcher bat. i tried different codes but it is still bypassing the license count check. Please advise if this approach is supported or if there’s a recommended method.I included this block in my bat file.!--scriptorstartfragment-->SET LMUTIL="C:\ptc\Creo 10.0.8.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\obj\lmutil.exe"SET LICENSE_SERVER=7788@license01.au.lmco.com "%LMUTIL%" lmstat -f PROE_DesignAdv -c %LICENSE_SERVER% > "%TEMP%\lmstat_pro.txt" 2>&1 FINDSTR /I /C:"Licensed number of users already reached" "%TEMP%\lmstat_pro.txt" >nul ^&& (    ECHO -

I have a great process for mass-printing or creating PDF’s from Creo View.  One of the key steps is collecting all the objects in Windchill and adding them to the clipboard. Does anyone know a way I can select an assembly, collect all the drawings of the assembly components and add them to the clipboard?  Anywhere I can get to that has the collection rules doesn’t seem to have Copy and anywhere that has Copy doesn’t seem to have a collector. Thanks in advance!

I would like to confirm whether there is an official supported way to integrate Windchill and Codebeamer without using ThingWorx.We need to provide clear guidance to customers on whether ThingWorx is required for this functionality, or whether Windchill and Codebeamer can be connected through another official supported method.The only PTC document I found mentioning this connection is:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS400634?as=1I also found this previous community post asking about Windchill–Codebeamer integration, but I could not find a clear answer there:https://community.ptc.com/codebeamer-ideas-401/windchill-codebeamer-integration-152118Any guidance or reference to official documentation would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Many of my Mathcad worksheets are large (50+ pages).  As the worksheets get larger, the screen refresh rate becomes so slow when using the drag slider bar that scrolling through the worksheet becomes very difficult.   This has always been key source of frustration when using Mathcad for large models. I had been working on a large worksheet for a bit after upgrading to Mathcad 12 when I realized that the scrolling was as responsive as any Microsoft Word document – very smooth with no noticeable lag up to any reasonable scroll rate!  That was not one of the explicitly stated new features in Mathcad 12 – so I didn’t notice it immediately (sometimes you don’t notice the things that just work the way you’d expect them to work).  I really appreciate some of the other enhancements in the Prime 12 release like Find/Replace with subscripted variables (another large worksheet issue) and the enhancements for native plots, but the scrolling improvement ranks near the top! 

1. Inconsistent baseline selection behavior:When creating a new Working Set, users have the option to add trackers with a specific baseline.However, when updating an existing Working Set by adding new trackers, the option to select a baseline is not available.Providing the same baseline selection menu during updates would improve usability; otherwise, users must manually select a baseline for each tracker, which is time‑consuming.2. Baseline selection is lost when navigating back:After users select trackers with a specific baseline and move to the next step, a summary of the selections is displayed.If the user goes back to the previous step, the tool resets all baseline selections to HEAD.As a result, users must again manually reselect the required baseline for each tracker, causing unnecessary repetition and frustration.

I have a requirement to add a thin banner to the top of the browser window in Composer.  I'm essentially asking for the same thing as this older post that had no response: https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/Custom-banner-in-Composer/td-p/540405  Is it possible to configure ThingWorx/Tomcat to display such a banner across all webpages served to users, including Composer?

I have been a paid subscriber to Mathcad since the late 1990’s. As a former a beta tester and advisor on new features, my interest and commitment to Mathcad is substantial. However, I am concerned about the future of Prime when I see more discussions on it not working rather than use.Yes some old problems are addressed with each new release. But installation and operation issues are starting to out number Topics on using the software to solve engineering and science problems. Even just upgrading to the new version or obtaining the new license keeps changing, adding to the frustration.For many of us, Mathcad is our only reason to use PTC’s products. Please do not make it a reason to be the last.   

Hi everyone,I have created a new approval workflow and I want it to appear as an optionin the “Select Process” step when creating a new Promotion Request.There are already some existing processes visible there(e.g. Document Approval Process, custom Promotion Approval Process),but my newly created one does not appear.Windchill version: 12.0Thanks in advance.
