I have a user getting the following error when launching  The latest Trial version of Creo Parametric. “Creo Parametric Trial Edition is shutting down because it could not run the Quality Agent, which is required in this edition. error 0x0000000b” Anyone know a fix for this?

When configuring the print settings for Annotation and Drafting, I want the printer type, name, and paper size to be displayed with only the required setting values.

The following Mathcad code attempts to use a formula from Wikipedia to expand cos(n*z), but appears to get the wrong result. Comments? Mathcad code implementing expansion formula 

After a Wibdows 11 update some weeks ago, Microsoft Edge version 150 closes a few seconds after it is opened. This is not a problem for me normaly because I prefer to use Google Chrome. However Mathcad Prime seems to insist on using Edge.I have set Chrome as the default browser and then installed Prime 12.0.0.1 even though I use English as the Prime language. Still no good.Does anyone know how to get Mathcad Prime to use Chrome?Thanks for your help.

OK, a weird one..2 issues: 1st issue is that my Creo 9 has decided to open in a minimized state.  Nothing changed on my end, except a recent windows update.  Now I get a very small Creo window, when I used to get an almost maximized window.  all settings are as they were the week before 2nd issue is that when I open a drawing, I get a blank sidebar, a 2nd blank ‘model tree’.  There is nothing in it, and no top bar to close or anything.  it’s just a blank ‘sidebar.  And it covers content.. And it’s only with .DRW files.. The work-around is to close Creo, then restart it / open it again.  Creo then starts up in a nearly full window, and teh blank sidebar is gone. any ideas?

I am using Windchill Risk and Reliability Enterprise Edition (Formerly Relex) Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS F000 Um die die aktuelle Version installieren zu können, wird für die Migration der Datenbank die Version 11 benötigt laut PTC Support.

PrimeConnect is also by request now a python library that connects python engineering applications with PTC Mathcad Prime. It allows python programs to generate editable Prime worksheets,  and retrieve Mathcad calculated results as native python and numpy objects.What is still needed is a brief manual on how to use it, but it is simple.CheersTerry

I have a datautility for a classification attribute, using the selector of classification attribute, can we apply the same logic to another attribute? ​@HelesicPetr 

A PTC Mathcad Prime XML Writer in C++File created with PrimeWriter v1.1 Alpha, an Embracadero RAD Studio 12 C++ Builder program. Program creates a rudimentary worksheet as a starting point.  It is intended for further enhancement to create more elaborate worksheetsStarted with a simple request of ChatGPT"create a PTC Mathcad Prime file that creates variables a and b of 3 and 5 respectively and adds them together for variable c."This started a week long Monday to Sunday, long hours each day focused chat with chatGPT and has produced a simple programmable worksheet generator in C++. It has some functions already defined; operators +,-,/,* sqrt, sin, cos, tan, exp, pow, nthroot, max, min, atan2, lsolve, concat, det, trace, rank, eigenvals, augment, and submatrix. Adding a new Prime function type only takes two lines of code. So more will be added over time.  Greek symbols can be used.It is intended as a quick visual report writing method for my C++ FEM work.The new advantage is C++ progra

If I upgrade my web account to a global support agreement will a mathcad 14 license be issued using the https://support.ptc.com/appserver/lm/mathcad/call_logger/callLogger.jsp tool. I understand mathcad 14 and 15 are no longer supported however this tool mentioned above is still present and mentioned in forums. I just want to know if it still will grant licenses if I upgrade my account to global support. If it does how do I update/upgrade my account to this? Has anyone else done this? We have used the non prime version of mathcad(s) for decades at our structural firm with hundreds of mathcad spread sheets. I have tried the trial of the latest prime and the conversion of the sheets is worrisome. ebooks using roarks and young will also not work. Not to mention probably not backwards compatible if edited with a machine on prime, then trying to open on one of our other machines with Mathcad 14.

This 1st picture is without chamfer and if I measure it. it shows 61mm (Abstand) This 2nd picture is after a put chamfer. but when I try to measure from the middle of chamfer to the side surafec it shows 60.5mm.While I was annotating, I chose the two marked (in red) to measure.  So How do I correctly choose the apex of the chamfer?  I should be getting 61mm 

I tried doing the suggestions in this topic: Hide sketches from drawings | Communitybut in my drawing, Still I’m still not able to remove the sketch in this ISO view.I did hide all the sketch layers and the sketch and saved the status.I’m using creo 11.0.1 Please let me know if I missed any steps

Hello. My account has a new activated license for mathcad. When I try to download the software appears a message saying that I dont have enough privileges. Could you solved this issue. Thanks by advanced. Regards. Alejandro

I have installed Mathcad 14 on my new computer and tried transferring my license file .dat from my old computer to new. It gives me host Id errors. I have found the ptc support website. https://support.ptc.com/appserver/lm/mathcad/call_logger/callLogger.jsp?as=1 to try to get a new license file. I enter in my product code and it says. Your web account does not hold the following required privileges to access the application: License Management Reporting for read-only access. License Management Licensing for configuration and license file generation access. If I update my web account will a new Mathcad 14 license be issued that matches my new computer? If so how to I go about updating my web account?

Hi, everyone! I was wondering: is there a way to set in parameters or templates the bend position to “add geometry” instead of standard option to the keep wall profile? I would like to have it as default for all my designs from the beggining instead of having to set it manually on every new design. Bend position. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,I am simulating the attached link mechanism (car seat flip-up with leg folding) in Creo MDO.(To get operating torque for seat flip up at each angle) However, the measured motor torque varies significantly depending on the flip-up motor speed and the minimum interval settings. In my current model, I observed the following:  Motor speed: 10 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 to 0.01 Result: Motor torque oscillates significantly. Motor speed: 1 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 or 0.1 Result: Stable torque results. Motor speed: 0.1 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 to 0.01 Result: Simulation fails because the slot connection breaks. Based on these results, it seems that using a slower motor speed and a smaller minimum interval does not always improve simulation stability. Could anyone explain why this behavior occurs and share any recommendations for improving the stability of MDO simulations? Any best practices for selecting motor speed, interval settings, or other solver parameters would be greatly

Hello! I’m trying to make a simple cable harness 2 wires going from connector 1 to connector 2.There are 2 coordinate systems in each connector that I have made.On my drawing i’m trying to use repeat regions to display which port in the connector each wire should connect to. However no pin no. gets displayed, it doesn’t matter if I select the repeat region to be driven by the assembly or the connector part.I’m using &harn.run.cond.from.pin.entry_port and have tried a bunch of others but it remains blank regardless.I have tried creating Terminators inside the assembly but am unable to do anything besides create it? No editing or anything seems to be possible. I read some other posts where they supposedly add cabling parameters somehow? I don’t see how to do it.Any help to display pins on the drawing would be greatly appreciated!

Hello folks,   a colleague asked me if I knew a way to copy the name of a selected model tree element to the clipboard.Since I could not find an out-of-the-box solution, I developed a small tool for this purpose myself:"Copy Model Tree Element Name To Clipboard"Maybe someone else would like to use the tool.

Hi Everyone,I'm looking for learning resources on Creo Parametric customization using C++ (Creo TOOLKIT / Creo Object TOOLKIT C++).From what I've researched by looking at job postings and industry discussions, it seems that C++ (Creo TOOLKIT / OTK C++) is still the most widely used technology for advanced Creo customization in many companies, especially for enterprise-level CAD automation and plugin development. If my understanding is incorrect, I'd appreciate any corrections.I'm specifically looking for paid or free online courses, YouTube playlists, Hands-on tutorials, sample projects or GitHub repositories, books or documentation that helped me learn, any training providers you've personally found useful. If you've learned Creo TOOLKIT/OTK C++ or know of any good resources, I'd really appreciate your recommendations.Thanks in advance!

Hello everybodyIt seems that the limit to constraint a conic arc is 4 points. I picked the start and end point and lay the arc as close to the 5 sketch points. Then i apply the constraints but it wont let me pick more than 4 unless i start making other dimensions References  like the Rho, etc.any ideas. i need to keep the Radius (Rh), so a Spline feature will not work and neither a Curve by points. i guess i can go back to Manufacturing and delete the rest of the sketcher points. thanks 

We have observed that AI generates better PlantUML diagrams compared to draw.io XML. The latest versions of draw.io appear to include PlantUML support; however, this option is not available in the draw.io instance embedded within Codebeamer.Is it possible to enable PlantUML support in the Codebeamer draw.io integration? If so, could you please share the expected timeline for making this feature available?

Just updated to CREO 12.4.3.0 and now rename_drawings_with_object is not working.  When someone does “replace by new copy” in assembly mode, the drawing is not copied.  It worked fine in previous version.  

Hi, In Creo 3 I was able to add a dimension to a 2d drawing and while the dimension was still highlighted red...I could change the font, color and size.  We then jumped to Creo 7, and it seems this no longer works. We are now on Creo 11, and it still doesn't work. I can change the font, and the size..but color does not stick if I just created the dimension. If the dimension is already existing, and i click on it….. i can change the color.  I want to change the color on the fly. I am trying to create a mapkey to do this, but i cannot get this color to change if I try to run the mapkey on the fly, after creating the dimension. (with the dimension still highlighted) If I run it on an already existing dimension, it works fine.What am i doing wrong? see recording   

Hello!I have a solid STEP file created by my supplier, that when imported into CREO is giving many errors like bad double-sided edges, solid node with open quilts etc etc. This causes the model to have quilts instead of one solid body.Depending in the import profile setting that I use I manage to get more or less errors, but almost never few enough to make it worth trying to repair the model. I feel like I have tried changing all relevant options in the import profile, but no combination seems to work.   The supplier has tried to send the model in different formats with different settings too, like STEP, x_t, x_p, exporting to prt.  Does anyone in this community have some good tips, or knowledge with Solidwors → Creo file sharing.(Unfortunately the model is under NDA so i cannot share it.) Thankful for any input you might have./David 

I am looking for CREO and/or Windchill admin training options.  Installation, upgrading, system setup, etc.Any direction is appreciated.
