Hi all,A few years back I had a use case where I wanted to use the kepware configuration API to create and modify advanced tags from thingworx. Does anyone know if this functionality has been added or is in the future plans to be developed?

Hey,I saved a volume measurement (shown in model tree) and then I created a paramter using a relation. I want to add a unit to the parameter but it is locked. So how do I add the units to locked parameters?How do I change the decimal value in this drawing title block. I want to show 0.73mm^3 or maybe 0.7mm^3  

Hi,We are facing with issue that we are not sending the data thru MQTT.On Kepware side there was no message that we are disconnected from MQTT.After several restarts of the Kepware IoT service, the problem was solved, but it reappeared after some time.We have openlogic-openjdk-jre-8u482-b08-windows-x32 JRE version installed on Kepware server. Thanks in advance.

Problem: When creating a countersink hole using the ISO standard (e.g. M2x0.4, Clearance, Close Fit), the outer diameter field is left blank (Ø 0.00) and requires manual entry.Impact: Every time a countersink hole is created with the ISO standard, the user is forced to stop, look up the correct value in ISO 15065:2005 Table 1, and manually enter it. This breaks the workflow and introduces a risk of human error — especially since all other parameters are already handled automatically by Creo.ISO Requirements: The outer diameter field is not a design choice — it is calculated directly from the pilot diameter and the 90° angle that ISO already defines. Creo has all the information needed to fill this field automatically.Optional Expected behavior: The outer diameter should be auto-populated from ISO 15065:2005 Table 1, which fully specifies this value (Dc = 4.4–4.5 mm for M2). All other fields — pilot hole diameter, angle, and depth — are correctly auto-filled from the same standard.Proof

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Creo Toolkit (Pro/Toolkit) application and need to create a blend feature programmatically.The version of Creo Parametric I am using is 6.0.I have created two sketches (Sketch1 and Sketch2) and need to generate a blend solid/surface based on these two sections. I have searched for relevant information online, but there are almost no usable examples or clear API documentation regarding the creation method of blend features in Toolkit secondary development. Thank you in advance for any insights or code examples.

I'm creating a macro to automatically select a 3D Curve using the Search Tool.The search returns multiple results and I need to always select the first item in the result list.In Creo, it seems that selection is based on the ID. Is there a way to make it always select the first item.mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdMdlTreeSearch` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ Open `selspecdlg0` `SelOptionRadio`;~ Close `selspecdlg0` `SelOptionRadio`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `selspecdlg0` `SelOptionRadio` 1 `3D Curve`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Update `selspecdlg0` `ExtRulesLayout.ExtBasicNameLayout.BasicNameList` \mapkey(continued) `SKETCH6`;~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `EvaluateBtn`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `selspecdlg0` `ResultList` 1 `260:59:`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `ApplyBtn`;

Hello all,I would like to gather feedback from this community about how of the long existing "create_drawing_dims_only" config.pro option is being used in your organizations. First let me provide a short summary for the values of this optionIf set to NO  - when creating a driven dimension in the drawing, the dimension is stored with the model (however not visible there). this dimension can be essentially leveraged to another drawing of the same model (but is not really going with the model based approach) If set to YES - when creating a driven dimension in the drawing, the dimension is stored with the drawing only My impression is that many Creo users (and their CAD Admins) have set this option to be set to YES, in order to avoid pushing drawing information to the model  Currently the default value of this option is set to a value of NO. we (PTC) are considering to change the default value of this option to be YES (which seems to be more suitable for

Hi all,Is there a toolkit equivalent of Creo UI operation, “Save as Mirror Assembly” or “Mirror part” available? I’m trying to automate the mirroring of an existing assembly and the associated drawing using protoolkit without recreating the model from scratch? After the mirror operation completes, is there a way to update the existing drawing with its dimensions to reflect the mirrored geometry?Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.Thank you. 

Hello there, We’re wondering is there any feature/workaroud to mass delete comments in items?Here’s the case: our user copied aprox. 600 items from one place to another. Everything was copied including comments, which are not applicable in the new place, so now they’re deleting comments one by one. Is there any workaround for this?

I have some issues when putting a dimension on a drawing. I work in large assemblies. When i want to select my line i have to zoom in a lot, or cycle the selection (right click) 2-4 times to get the right line. For some reason it often goes to lines on geometry that is not visible/behind on the view. This happens quite often.Is there a way to not select non visible lines when placing a dimension?Selection filter on dimension is set to all (there is only this one).  Bonus question: why is it so hard to pick the middle of a pipe (without centerline) when placing dimension? The line on the end of the pipe is usually split in two non centered lines. maybe like circles are split in a interesting way :)

Hello All,I would like to explore options for controlling user access at the context/folder level within Windchill.We currently have a requirement where certain users need limited permissions to view specific Windchill data. Could you please advise if there are available options to manage this through Access Control Lists (ACLs)?Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on how, from an administrative perspective, we can configure and enforce such restrictions effectively.

Hi everyone,After upgrading our environment from Windchill 12 + Creo 9 to Windchill 13 + Creo 12, we started experiencing a serious performance issue with Windchill Product View.The Product View interaction has become extremely slow — almost like watching a slow-motion video.Symptoms include:Rotation / pan / zoom lagging heavily Delayed response after mouse interaction Overall Product View usability becoming very poorThis issue did not occur in the previous environment before the upgrade.Environment:Windchill 13.x Creo View / Creo 12Things we have already checked:Graphics driver updates Server resource usageHowever, the issue still persists.Has anyone experienced similar Product View performance degradation after upgrading to Windchill 13 or Creo 12?If so:What was the root cause? Were there any specific configuration changes or patches that resolved it? Any known compatibility issues with GPU drivers or visualization settings?Any shared experiences or recommendations would be greatly a

Thingworx is connected with two windchill - Here GBOM is in one windchill and Part BOM in one windchill. Is it possible to view the structure and additional details at the same time when we select the required one?

I want to create a stable radius label on the edge, but sometimes it creates a diameter label and sometimes a radius label. I don't know why this is happening. Could someone help me? 

I have 2 user groups which need to access the SCM page for things belonging to different ThingTemplates. User Group A should access only things from ThingTemplates ABC_1, ABC_2 and ABC_3; whereas User Group B should access only things from ThingTemplates XYZ_1 and XYZ_2. And all ThingTemplate inherit a BaseTemplate. How do I manage access levels based on ThingTemplate?

Hi,  I have a use case where I need to get the data from Arbortext Content Delivery and write back to it if needed.  Is there a way to do this? Have any done this before? Thanks,

I was able to create a configurable part with a BOM and associated parts with assigned expressions on when to use a part, however I ran into a different situation:I'd like to use PART (P1) for all configurations, hence no assigned expression.Also, I'd like to use the same PART (P2) for certain configurations (e.g., "OPTION" = A).For that, I'm adding P1 PART to the BOM (without expression), then another item P2 PART to the BOM (with a warning that the part always exists); when I assign the expression to the 2nd instance of PART, it also gets assigned to the first instance P1.I'd need a way to include multiple instances of a part in a BOM with separate, independent expressions.Is there a way to add a clear separated instance of a part in a BOM?Could you please advise?

When in the Spec Driven Piping Application in Creo, you can add a valve to your piping assembly by going to the Fitting Section of the application window, selecting Insert Fitting, and selecting the pipeline you want to attach your fitting to. You are then given the option to select what type of fitting (in this case a valve) you want to add to your pipeline and what name you want to that valve before hitting OK and adding it to you model, as shown below:However, if you later realize you want to change the name of this valve (or if you never added a name to the valve when you originally placed it), it appears that there is no option to modify the valve number after placement. For example, if you went to edit the definition of the valve, you are only able to edit the placement of the valve along the pipeline:You can try pulling up the Piping Information of the valve (by going to the Info section of the Piping Application, selecting Piping Info, selecting Fitting Report, and selecting th

Hello all,I use Schedule chart and I want to find a way how to expand/collapse several or all groups at the same time.Now, by default, it is possible to expand only one group (if I click on another group, the first one collapses).For example, if I click on LABEL-1 group, the detail opens, but if I click on LABEL-2 group, the detail opens for LABEL-2 group (while the detail for LABEL-1 group collapses). Please, find screenshots Is it possible to expand/collapse all or several groups at the same time?
