Hello,I just started using MathCAD Prime 3.0 and stumbled upon a problem. I can't find a solution to that online.I have a question about this screenshot:Why appending a result to a variable makes the operation impossible (1st and 2nd columns)?Why showing the value of a variable makes the next operation impossible (1st and 3rd columns)?Thank you. (I hope this post is in compliance with the policy)

I’m using MathCAD Prime 9.0.0.0 and I’m running into a units error…All of the R units should be K/W, but I’m getting crazy units especially on Rmid. I attached my program as well as lecture notes that show how to do this. Look on page 44-45. Thanks,    Brent

For whatever reason, Creo does not offer the ability to set a default clearance distance per machine.  I do not always remember all the travels on our machines and would like to set default clearance values to solve that issue.I basically want to set a relation that states:IF work cell = "insert machine name"clearance = XX.XXHowever to do this, I need to know the parameter names to pull for the work center and the clearance, and I do not know them.  Does anyone know what those parameters are, or know a better way to do this? 

several ways to go about this and i’m struggling to find the ideal method Create external sketch place hole on sketch and choose end points/midpoints/etc Place a fastener in hole (standard coincident/mate) Reference pattern doesn’t work Create sketch INSIDE of the hole tool sketch my shape place fastener reference pattern doesn’t work Create an external sketch sketch using datum points Place hole on point pattern by on point Place fastener in hole and pattern by On Point Choose the previous points to pattern by This works! Create a sketch inside of hole tool sketch with lines and place datum points on end points holes are created reference pattern and point pattern doesn’t work Am i missing something here?if i want to reference fasteners in the holes i placed while using a sketched pattern i need to:create an external sketch place datum points on sketch end points(or mid points or whatever) pattern by on point(which is my selecting a point pattern​​​​​​

I'm working in Creo Parametric version 11.0.1.0. When in sketch mode and selecting entities for adding dimensions, I hover over the entity until it highlights, but when I click the entity often does not get selected. I thought there might be a config parameter that affects the sensitivity of sketch entity selection, but I wasn't able to identify one.

Users who do not know their Mathcad product code can refer steps below on how to get the Product Code:   Solution: Product Code consists of 22 alphanumeric characters in length. General format of product code is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - xxxx – xxxx If Mathcad is purchased from PTC Web Store, product code can be found on the order confirmation E-mail as “Digital Rights” or you can locate the product code printed in the card inserted in the DVD package Customers who purchased Mathcad through the PTC web store can obtain their product code by contacting the Academic Assistance  

Most times when typing a mapkey it will just execute as expected about 5% of the time (or less) it shows up in the search bar and the communication box tells me that this group of characters is a mapkey (duh….). Am I accidentally pressing something that brings me into the search bar from the keyboard instead of just executing the mapkey? Mildly annoyed.

Hi,Can someone help me with this query related to sheetmetal nesting in Creo. Can we add the 3D sheetmetal model directly to nesting software i.e NC sheetmetal extension & get the setup made automatically? If so please let me know the procedure.Thanks in AdvanceNaresh

I wish I had found a list like this a few years ago.  I've searched the web and compiled the following list for your enjoyment.  Many are probably considered basic with a few very cool, complex curves thrown in.  The list is divided into the coordinate systems that you will have to choose when creating the datum curve.To initiate the command that will allow you to try these, go to Insert>Model Datum>Curve>From Equation.  After the Equations section see the section title Links to find PlanetPTC discussions and videos that have demonstrated and, in some cases, explained the curve from equation command in more detail with ways to incorporate relations and parameters. Attached is a Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 part file with all of the equations included.In the comments, please share any equations or links that you know.  Other suggestions are welcome, too.EQUATIONSCartesian Coordinates:  x, y, & zThe z variable is not necessary, but when used will give

Hello.Whenever I need to upload a step file to my Creo assembly, the conversion erases several surfaces of the assembly/part inside the step file. I do the same conversion in other 3D software and everything is alright, therefore I believe the issues is not in the step file itself.I was wondering if any of you has the same issue where surfaces don’t appear. Sometimes it’s so bad that critical parts do not appear. If anyone knows how to solve this or has some suggestion to get around, I appreciate the help.Thanks!

hello experts can some one advice how to Add / auto insert NCL_file_name in to Gcode as seq name when post processing the CL file to generate G-code?  see pic to understand regards fisa

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0 Hello PTC Support Team, We need your guidance regarding Persistent UUID support in Creo and STEP 242 export. Our requirement is to generate STEP 242 files containing persistent UUIDs for Digital Thread implementation. We have the following questions: How can we create Creo CAD models with persistent UUIDs? Are there any specific settings or configurations required in Creo? How can we export Creo models to STEP 242 while preserving all UUIDs? Which STEP AP242 version is recommended for UUID support? For existing Creo CAD models, is there any way to add or generate persistent UUIDs without recreating the models? Is there any recommended method to verify that UUIDs are properly written into the STEP file? We already have many Creo CAD models, and our final goal is to assign UUIDs to them and generate STEP files that retain those UUIDs correctly. Please share any related documentation, sample files, or best practices that can he

Hi everyone,Does anyone knows how to delete or remove the system generated notes.I tired the APIs,ProDtlnoteRemove() - failingProDtlnoteDelete()  - failingProDtlnoteErase() - erasing note until next regenerationthese above API are removing all the notes except the system generated note (for eg: scale 1:1, section x-x).

Hey guys,I’m currently experiencing some problems regarding MBD and family table parts…How do I handle mbd in a family table? For example: I have a shaft with several grooves. The number of grooves is controlled by the family table. I have numbered the cylinders with the original diameter in my generic part, in which all grooves are present, so that I can define them as a common surface for the drawing. How can I now control that, in an instance where, for example, there are no grooves at all, only this one note is displayed in the combined state? In the generic part, I have attached h1-h6 as notes to the surfaces; in the instance, I want only h1 to be displayed. However, if I hide the remaining notes in the instance, they are also hidden in the generic part.How to handle this situation?

Hi,Can someone provide a detail information on how J-link works in creating the BOM for Creo drawings? what are the pre-requisites like license is needed? how to install or configure? etc.Thanks in advanceNaresh

Hello everyone,are the symbols according to standard ISO 13715 available in Creo Parametric 7?I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.10.0

I am using Servigistics Move Release 10.5 and DatecodeN/A When putaway is completed an 820 file is created and placed in a directory for our ERP system to read in. This file from time to time is not being created. Can you assist on why this is happening?

Hi everyone,In our drawing BOM, the SIZE column shows values like 156.000x40.000x33.509 as a single string. I'd like to split this into three separate columns (L, W, H) showing only whole numbers, with standard rounding (anything above .5 rounds up).Current output in the SIZE column:156.000x40.000x33.509800.000x600.000x70.000156.000x156.000x34.925Desired output across three columns:L W H156 40 34800 600 70156 156 35A few things I'm unsure about:Is there a way to do this directly in the Creo drawing repeat region table, using column format or symbolic parameters?Can relations or parameters (e.g. user-defined SIZE_L, SIZE_W, SIZE_H) be used to parse and round the SIZE string, and then called in the BOM table?Any advice on the best practice for this in Creo Parametric would be appreciated. Thanks! 

Hi,When performing generative design optimisation, it completes the optimisation with no fault, but the optimised part is not visible.  There is no change when clicking the Display Generative Result button.

Hi Everyone,I wanted to know if there is any functionality in Creo to automatically generate drawings similar to how Family Tables automatically generate part or assembly instances.For example: If we have multiple variants created using a Family Table, Can Creo automatically create corresponding drawing files for each instance? Is there any built-in option, mapkey, automation, or any related approach available for this? Any suggestions or best practices would be helpful.Thanks!

I have never found a way to move section views to another location (other than the projection path) and keep the section arrows andname. Converting to general allows the move but removes the name/arrows. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am trying to get the datum plane handle (FRONT plane) use ProModelItemInit or ProModelItemByNameInit but it is failing.the reason is I want to use ProSelectionAllocCan some one please help me with it. Thank you. 

Hello,Is there a way to make multiple balloon notes in an assembly drawing for flexible components that are used multiple times in an assembly without changing the BOM table attributes to duplicate the lines?Example would be having 2 extension springs that have the same part number and both are made flexible to stretch in the assembly. Because the assembly is large, the springs are on not on the same page and I would like a balloon note on each spring. However, I can only make one using the ‘Create Balloons’ function and I can not move it from spring to spring.The work around we have done is to use ‘Annotate > Balloon Note’ but this will not update the number if the assembly were to change.Does anyone know of how to do this properly?
