CAD

Hi, I am trying to make a calculation sheet however i have unit problems since mathcad doesn't seem to work correctly. First is calculating parallel resistance gives a weird result but can manually be corrected.  For example RPV should come as ohms then further down Ilimh*RPV should clearly come as volts.....

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.7.0Is it possible to view the contents of the buffer populated by ProMacroLoad()? Is it possible to clear the contents of this buffer to prevent execution?

I'm having an issue with Sweep in a channel. I'm not sure why it doesn't cut as much on sides following walls. You can easily guess what the intent was. I'm not sure what went wrong with my idea of how to cut the shape actually. Also, it doesn't generate some rounds around as planned.  EDIT: it sems like the cut sketch follows YZ plane in normal instead being normal to the intersect. I'm not sure how to force it to follow the intersection's normal.   

Hi All, I have a part created in very old version of creo.The axis "AXS_HOLE_A" in it is built up using reference of two planes DTM33 & DTM34. See attached screenshot. I want to edit location of those two planes. However I am not able to find those two planes in the new latest version of creo. Can anyone please assist how to locate those two planes? Thank you very much in advance!

I am currently working on a project and encountering few challenges.I am confident that your expertise can provide valuable guidance to help resolve these issues. Project DescriptionI am developing hook-type clamps designed to securely hold the red tube. Both clamps lock via hooks and are bolted at the leg end to exert clamping force. Optimal design criteria for the clamps include following: (Length A) gap must be maintained after Assembly to ensure continuous clamping force on the red tube.(Length B) Must be at least equal to or greater than the tube size for proper fitting.(Length C) This length must exceed the clamp thickness to allow the bottom clamp to fit securely inside the top clamp.(Length A, B and C)-Refer Image The clamps are governed by geometric tolerances, with a profile of surface tolerance of 1mm along the inner surface. I have attempted to optimize the design manually using a trial-and-error method, creating different models under extreme conditions

Hi all, I am working on a data retrieval/CAD automation project, and currently I am using a combination of python with Creoson to extract bom data from Creo. Unfortunately, my company's CAD data is crawling with ghost parts which end up getting included in the output data and I haven't been able to come up with a good solution for filtering them out. I am able to find them manually via the find command as shown:The problem with this is that I have to manually go in and pick the parts using the feature info command or hover my mouse over to get the comp id and manually build a list that I can then use to filter the bom output. I would prefer if there were: A method to include the criteria I'm using in the find command to filter the output from Creoson's bom_get_paths function.A method to export the results of the find command with the comp id to an external file that I could read back into my python script to filter by.Or should I be working on cleaning out these gho

Hello, I am currently using the base EMX extension and I noticed the extension utilizes injection molding. I wanted to know if the EMX extension is capable of creating plates/molds for pulp molding? Thank you.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.9.0We are working on an integration between Creo and a nest engine for our Fabrication area. Questions:Can Creo export information like Bend center line, angle of a bend and radius?Can it do it through the PRT file output as a property or variable?If not, how can it be made possible?We need this information for the nest engine to be able to create a bending program when it receives a flat from Creo. Creo would handle the unfolding process of the 3D model.

Hello, My company is trying to create drawings that are easier for our assembly line to understand.  This means creating a drawing more like a step by step instructions.  This means breaking up the complicated assembly into separate stages and we are doing this by creating simplified reps for each stage of assembly.  However, we need an easy way to assign BOM balloons to each of the simplified rep views.  Currently we assign a separate BOM table to each view and fix the index numbers to the same index number in the master rep BOM.  This is very time consuming and there is a risk of mistakes.   I had two ideas as a solution, but I cannot get either to work.   Idea 1:  Create BOM table with multiple &rpt.qty columns with each column assigned to a different stage.  This works well because it shows all of the stages and the quantity of pieces at each, however, we cannot attach BOM balloons to any views because of the following error: "BOM Ba

When i have trying to install the Client of PTC Creo on user system the licence is not getting from server it shows unreachable contionusly when running the reconfigure.   Last 2yr we are using Creo on this system. Suddenly it shows error.   I have tried below solutions. Checked using servername and ipv for installation. Ping server is successfully in Client system. Added firewall rules in server. (7788 and ptc_d) added value in xml file port for 7789 in flexnet>> conf. (Added in rules also this port) DNS server checked and added again. User profile is deleted and added once in system. In CMD checked server is ping or not, its ping perfectly.   Still this issue is not resolving what can i do for that ?  

Is there a faster way to toggle part or component transparency in assemblies than: Click to select, then from the ribbon menu: Model Display>Component Display Style>Transparent?As often as parts need to be toggled from opaque to transparent during the assembly modelling process, what I need is 'Transparent on/off' from the right-click cursor menu. Or even better, a hover-over cursor toolbar or menu with a transparent toggle.

MathCAD seems to recognise milli-, kilo- and mega- versions of certain units (eg mW, kW, MW, mm, km) but not others (eg kJ, MJ, kmol).  I find that I am almost always having to start a worksheet by defining kJ or kmol ... which is a real nuisance and seems unneccesary. So:- what is the rationale behind the units that have kilo-, milli- or mega- versions?- is there a way of ensuring that these combos are defined for every worksheet (the new Prime 11 units change is no help here)? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150Our customer have a problem when open .lay format file. I have read some troubleshooting articles, it states that we should have NOTEBOOK license feature to open lay format.Can Creo design essential license itself open .lay format?If it can't, what module/bom should we choose to import .lay format?Here are the errors that I facedThins functionality requires one of: NOTEBOOK

Hello,When creating a drawing using a format file, Creo automatically select the ANSI/ASME tolerancing standard and I need to manually change in order to have setup the tolerances as DIN/ISO.Is there any way we can (via a config parameter, dtl file, format file, etc) to setup the drawing to follow the ISO standard?Thank you!Giandonato 

Hi All, I am facing a problem in Creo drawing view where, the Sketched labels of opposite face of part reflecting in drawing view of assembly.I tried to hide in the layer tree but the complete sketched labels will get hide in the part level that is not right i feel.I tried to create new layer and add the labels in the assembly layer tree, then i tried to hide them, then also it was not possible to hide them in the views. Am i going in right direction or any other method to hide the visibility of sketched labels of opposite face of part mode in the drawing view ??  

I have a version of Mathcad 5.0 which I downloaded in 2019.I would like to install and run on a new computer.Can you advise if this is possible?

Hello,i've done an update from Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.2 to Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.7.1.1.Now the same assemblies are very slow in zooming and have sometimes a delay in movement.I use WIN10 Pro, HP Z4 G4 Workstation with Nivdia Quadro P2000 and 2x16GB DDR4 RAM. Can i make any settings or hardware upgrade to make the programm as fast as it was with V20.2? Or should i install a version beetween V20.2 and V20.7 with more functions than V20.2 but comparable speed?BR, Chris 

Is there a way to set up an assembly that will automatically create feature(component) attributes as I bring them into an assembly? For example I want an attribute called "Reference_Model"  These models are used for reference only.  I can then use the attribute in a repeat region and can be easily filter out of BOM table or have their own BOM table.

Good morning, PTC Community:I am getting stuck in quite a simple solve block. See attached for pipe min wall thickness calculation.A sensible solution for OD is somewhere slightly greater than 0.60-inch.Is this related to TOL or CTOL commands? Even if I take the TOL or CTOL off, the solution gets stuck in the solver.Do I have too many items in the Guess block?I use Mathcad Prime 10.0.1.0. Your review and suggestions for a fix will be appreciated. Regards,Joseph T.

Hi, I am in the same situation. The installation works fine for PTC Creo Parametrics 3.0 M190, but flexnet fails. I tried PTC License Server 11.19.1.0 and PTC License Server 11.17.1.0.   Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/System-Administration/Installing-Creo3-under-Windows-11/m-p/976775#M31407     Any advise or solution? Thanks    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0Good morning, I am having an issue with my workspaces in Creo. The error 'local cache contents need to be synchronized with the workspace' appears when I try to check parts in to Windchill. I have already tried the synchronize button in the workspace. If I create a new workspace, the issue goes away for a while, but then comes back.Thanks,Will Collier.Here are the errors that I faced'local cache contents need to be synchronized with the workspace'

  Hello Creo Experts, I have a question regarding volume milling. I typically choose volume rough milling sequences for my roughing operations. But now trying to use HSM Milling.. However, I've noticed that the cycle times of HSM sequences are not as efficient as I expected. Despite their name, high-speed milling cycles are actually longer than those of volume milling for the same pocket size. Could you please advise me on any parameters I might be overlooking to achieve a shorter cycle time with HSM or rough sequences compared to volume milling for the same pocket size? Please check the attached MFG file its creo 11 mfg file  Regards, Asif Fisa

Since @ttokoro  recently once again tried to take us into the world of riddles and puzzles (-> Find BC:CD - PTC Community), I thought I would follow up with a problem that I dealt with some time ago.   Its the 123 year old Haberdasher problem, posed originally by the famous puzzle inventor Henry Dudeney. Actually there are various different publishing dates around - 1902, 1903, 1907 ...   The task is to divide an equilateral triangle of side length 1 with three straight, but not necessarily continuous, cuts into four parts so that they can then be put together to form a square. Dudeney provided the solution only in the form of a drawing, but without specifying the exact dimensions. Let D and E be the midpoints of AC and AB. The first cut runs from E to a point F on AB. The other two cuts run from D and G perpedicular to EF. G is a point an AB and it can easily be seen that AG = AF+0.5 (or equivalent GB = 0.5-AF). The four pieces now can be assembled to form

It's Confusing and not clear on when to pick wire option .For wire option, its not letting me pick already existing spool. Always new spool? See image.

Hi All, I was wondering if there was a solution for restoring the functionality of the event manager.I am using Creo +  version 12.1.0.1-001. I am using Windchill 12.1.2.12. In a community post, user LLIE explained how renaming your "event" folder in your local cache would fix the event manager. That solution does not work for me. Are there other users who have had this issue and know how the solve it?
