I have an ascii text data file that has 3000+ lines of information. I am attempting to extract some values from the first "column" of a group of lines near the end of the file. The lines are bracketed by known labels. I have attempted to do this using the READFILE command in the following approach: FileDat := READFILE("path to file", "delimited", 1, [1,1])startline:= match("Data Starts Here", FileDat) + 1endline:= match("Data Ends Here", FileDat) -1data:= READFILE("path to file", "delimited", [startline, endline],[1,1],1) I have two questions:1) Is there a way to match the full expression, including spaces, in the data file? Right now, it is not matching the "Data Starts Here" - it is only getting the first word "Data". I can correct this by putting underscores in the expression to be matched, and in the data file, but that is a less desirable workaround. 2) I note that the first "READFILE" generates an array (FileDat) that pulls in the first column (or first word o

I try to understand, why, in Creo 9.0, the the sketching, the Project have been changing. The new way to select the line to project is longer to work with it.  In the past, we chose Sketch Complete loop, and we chose each line one after the other.  Now, we have to chose one line, chose chain, then chose the Rule-Based, then the rule we want, ok, and to finish to tell the command that we want to create the geometry...  A work that will normally have taken maybe 30 minutes to extrude in solid a dxf file send by my client, will surely take a few hours.

Hi Everyone, I am new to Creo View and trying to achieve the same in Creo View 10. Does anyone have a documentation link to do the same job viz, embed a Creo View control object to Any office Application? I do see that we have adapters/ Creo View toolkit for Office. But I am not sure where o start. Any links that can point me in the right direction would be helpful.   Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Addtl-Creo-Products-View-Sketch/Using-Creo-View-models-in-PowerPoint/m-p/450791#M469    Thanks RM  

What settings in CREO would allow me to fast navigate a BIG assembly? Any secrets any tips will help. EXISTING is frame by frame slow movement of the assembly. Thanks in advance for your reply.

When copying the default simple_drilled.hol file into hole file location which is set by the config option HOLE_PARAMETER_FILE_PATH, I get a format error once I use the hole command to create a hole. The error is:Format error in fastener input file : N:\AMG File\AMG CAD ROOM\Creo Library\Hole Files\simple_drilled.hol at line no: 8 The only thing I changed on the default file is PRO-VERSION to 24 from 25 because I would get a fatal crash and remove the ! to un-comment the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA section as shown here: HOLE_TABLE_DATAPRO_VERSION 24TABLE_TYPE SIMPLE_DRILLEDCALLOUT_FORMAT DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATAHOLE_TYPE DRILLED_DEPTH CSINK CBORE EXIT_CSINK CALLOUT_FORMATSIMPLE_DRILLED VAR YES NO NO DRILLED HOLE &DIAMETER &VAR_DEPTH &DRILL_DEPTH I have tried all kinds of combinations to try to figure out the format error.  PLEASE HELP!!

I am using an include statement to include calculations and values from a reference sheet in my main Mathcad document. Is there a way to get access to variables defined in the parent document in the reference document? For example, if I define a variable called "mass" in the parent document, and then I have an expression in the referenced document that multiplies mass by 2, as in: double_mass := mass * 2, will that work?  Right now, I am only able to use variables in the reference sheet that have been defined in that sheet. I do note that functions and variables defined in the reference sheet are available in the parent sheet following the include statement, as expected.

I'm working in an assembly in Creo 7.0.2.0, and I am trying to determine the interference between two objects. I want to determine the distance between the two furthest points of each object to determine how much they are interfering with each other. I found the "Pairs Clearance" feature that lets you select two objects, and it will show you the clearance between the two closest points of each object. I was wondering if there was a feature that did the same thing for interference parts, so I can determine the extent of how far the two parts are interfering. I have tried the "Global Interference", but it just outputs a volume and not a distance. Does anyone have any more experience with this? I am somewhat new to the "Analysis" tab and have only used it for measurements and mass properties.

Looking for some helpful tips on when to use bodies and not to use bodies.  We moved to Creo 10 recently(from 7 i believe?).  Creo 7 had bodies but it wasn't something i was really interested in learning then.  Seems that Bodies have come along way in the 3 generations(and even more in 11). Looking to get feedback on how you use bodies in your daily part modeling/assembly work? Things i've started to do now at the part level instead of the assembly level:Dowel PinsI'll model the pin at the part level now and assign it as a body(can xhatch it differnetly at the drawing level).  I no longer need to have an assembly created for these.  This also makes GDT much easier at the part level instead of the assembly levelThreaded InsertsI'll either model a helicoil myself or do Get Data -> Import and import a threaded insert as a body into my model(assembly via csys).  Much easier to handle the drawing this wayI think i might do some plug welds for cross

Current Status:The dimension for the increment of a pattern is entered with 6 decimal places.The dimension is displayed with 3 decimal places. (option default_dec_places 3)When editing, the dimension is displayed with 6 decimal places.So far, everything is correct. The pattern is redefined into a table pattern.All dimensions are rounded to 3 decimal places, meaning that values are unintentionally changed ☹️ Enhancement request:Decimal places that were originally entered should be preserved in pattern tables. No automatic modification of dimension values by Creo.

While converting the drawing to PDF, I have multiple sheet sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3, and A4), and for all these sheets, I can only assign one pentable.pnt file in configuration, but the line thickness is not the same for all sheet sizes; the lines are not visible if I use the pentable setting used or an A4 sheet for A3 to A0. Need suggestion...

Hi everyone,I am new to Creo Web.Link and currently working on automating the process of adding dimensions to a drawing view. My goal is to:Check if the current model is a drawing.Allow the user to select a view in the drawing.Retrieve model annotations (dimensions) from the selected view and display them.I am trying to use the Web.Link API, but I am facing issues with retrieving and displaying the dimensions. Here’s the function I have so far:function addDimension() {if (pfcIsMozilla())netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");try {var session = pfcGetProESession();var drawing = session.CurrentModel;if (drawing.Type !== pfcCreate("pfcModelType").MDL_DRAWING) {alert("Current model is not a drawing.");return;}alert("Drawing detected. Please select a view.");// Allow user to select a viewvar selectedView = drawing.SelectView("Select a view to retrieve dimensions:");if (!selectedView) {alert("No view selected.");return;}alert("View selected: " + selectedView

I am using Creo Simulate Release N/A and DatecodeN/AHello,We currently have a Creo Design Essentials license installed on the host ID WIFI A8-64-F1-1A-D7-13, which is set to expire soon. Therefore, we would like to remove this license and replace it with the one currently assigned to host ID F8-75-A4-F4-DA-89.Could you please proceed with transferring the license from F8-75-A4-F4-DA-89 to A8-64-F1-1A-D7-13? Additionally, could you confirm that the user currently using A8-64-F1-1A-D7-13 will not encounter any issues when reinstalling the license after the transfer?

Hi folks, I'm looking to do some quaternion rotations, and wondering if anyone has anything set up for this in Mathcad prime? Seen some posts that have it in regular Mathcad but can't manage to get them to work when converted.  Thanks in advance,Stuart

I am not able to drag up the green line at the bottom of an assembly tree or part features. Nor am I able to drag independent features or parts up or down a tree. I can see the "hand" when I put the pointer on the line, when I left-click the mouse the hand closes, but if I want to drag it, a red stop sign (red circle with line across) appears.Anyone an idea why this is happening? I can use the "Insert Here" option, but dragging the line is much simpler.thank you!Norman

Hello, I can't solve my problem. I opened a programming block and inserted a matrix to make it faster instead of clearing equation by equation. The values I want to have are A_x and so on. I give M as input data. Help

The attached MC14 file is looking for a limit. The result should be -pi^2/8. My attempts failed. Only with the help of good old derive did I manage it. How does this work in MC14?

I had a copy of Mathcad Express on a computer got infected and we had to wipe the drive. I use it to read and review Mathcad files. I would like to download it again on my new computer, but when I go in and try to do that the system wont let me download it again. What do I need to do?

Hello All,It's just me with one thing after another. And now my trial version of 10.00 don't work.I get an error message its attached.It's about a file edidebug.dll which is not seen as friendly by Wins 11 smart Protection!PTC and MS got conflicts!So, anyone who knows about this please enlighten me before I start believing in conspiracies and paranoia, Thanks. Regards,Karl.

I am using Mathcad Express 10 to calculate the stress and deflection of components under a specific load case. To avoid having to create a copy of the calculation for each component, I want to perform the calculation using vectors and matrices simultaneously for all components and their values.Unfortunately, I don't have access to the full version of Mathcad so I can't use any programming.However, when I switch the calculation to vectors, a problem occurs that I cannot solve. I have created a minimal example, see attached file.There are three vectors (v1 - v3) which all have the same length. The length of the vectors results from the number of different components to be calculated and is not fixed but can change. Therefore, the solution must work with any vector length.What I am trying to achieve: I need the maximum values of each line from the vectors for the calculation later on. The resulting vector then has the maximum value from all the first rows of the vectors in its row 1 and s

Hello:in the drawing view display style set to hidden line style,we want use toolkit API get the part edge display status,hidden line or solid line,how to get the solid edge status in the drawing view? thank you. 

Hello, I'm working in Mathcad Prime 10 I am struggling to get a solve block working. I'm attempting to calculate a grid convergence index based on a published guidance document, and it requires an iterative approach which I thought could be executed by a solve block. I'm receiving various errors (see one in the image below) depending on what I try. I have attached my current workbook. Thanks for any help you can provide.  

Hi, I opened creo parametric M110 this morning and can't seem to get the embedded browser and Windchill to work. I can connect to Windchill and open parts, just not through the browser. In fact, the browser window is there but stays on on a blank white page. So "workspace" and  "windchill cabinets" buttons don't work and neither does manually typing in any web url. I have tried switching between ie and chrome in config, nothing seems to work though. Thanks

I have downloaded (twice) the Mathcad 10 for the suggested Host ID and Mathcad still states:License Status: Invalid & License Type: No License and when Mathcad is opened Çreated with PTC Mathcad Express'.Please note I have a ''PTC Mathcad 15 Student Edition – Perpetual License'which came with Mathcad Prime 3.1. I am unsure where i could download Mathcad 15 and the only option appears to download Mathcad Prime 10.Any advice how I can get any version of Mathcad up and running would be greatly appreciated..RegardsDave
