Currently on Creo 10, but I think the question applies to many versions. I want to Creo to execute a script file near the beginning of the mapkey.  I can make it work at the end.  (The case below is just an example,) I can make it work at the end.mapkey w1 @MAPKEY_NAMEChange display to creo Colors;\mapkey(continued) @MAPKEY_LABELChange to Creo Colors;~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;~ Command `ProCmdRibbonOptionsDlg` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `ribbon_options_dialog` `PageSwitcherPageList` 1 `colors_layouts`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Open `ribbon_options_dialog` `colors_layouts.Color_scheme_optMenu`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Close `ribbon_options_dialog` `colors_layouts.Color_scheme_optMenu`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `ribbon_options_dialog` `colors_layouts.Color_scheme_optMenu` 1 `1`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `ribbon_options_dialog` `OkPshBtn`;\mapkey(continued) @SYSTEMC:\\TEMP\\test.bat; But I would like t

I recently learned about the following problem, whose solution function u(t) requires determining:u´(t) = -u(t)/t + 1/(t^3+t), u(0) = 0I intentionally called this problem a riddle 😉 .Please answer in MC14-readable format.

How can you propagate layer status of a subassembly into a parent assembly. In other words, when a certain display selection for layers is made in the subassembly, I want the layer display to appear the same way when this subassembly is assembled in its parent assembly. Even with the "propagate status" checked in the layer tool menu, this is not working as expected. It used to work fine in Creo 4, I'm currently using Creo 8.

Hi,I have come with an issue that when I start the protoolkit.dat fie the following error has been shown. I am newbie to this toolkit process and I am learning that think right. Can any one help me with that issue. What mistake I have done?Thank you 

Hi,I have an equation likeWhere Q(x) is some complicated complex function of x. This way f (or sol, if you prefer) is a function of x.I would like to make x a range so that I can plot f as a function of this range.Is it possible to do that?Thanks  

I have an array (numbers of rows - 1,  number of columns - can be different). Example: I enter a variable in mathcad d = [1 5 10 15] and i want this array to be displayed in my list as d = 1   d= 5 etc... Help please. Preferably in JS. Translated using Google Translate.

Hello,I have defined transparent model and it looks OK but when trying to render it then transparency is ignored.Any idea why Creo 10 doesnt support it? 

Is there anyway the model full of open surfaces can generate normal drawings like solid models?I am just throwing this out in here as a bait if some one came up with some smart way to do it!! 🙂THANKS IN ADVANCE!See Image of what I am dealing with. 

Good points in topic. I like the one setting it to read only. Any tips on how best to do it? 

During Assembly when I pick surface -Surface it should be Coincident automatically not Normal. PTC needs to fix this OR let me know the benefit. This is very inconvenient additional multiple clicks which are not needed.

Hi allI working on drawings and want to align easily the table through grid. What i was doing is to use sketcher preferences and turn on the grid like this. I saw that this button 'Sketcher preferences' is only enabled when i use Legacy Sketch instead of normal Sketch.I added the button in top toolbar but this one is enabled only when Legacy Sketch is on instead of normal sketch. Is any way to enable this in normal sketch mode?

Hello, I am using Creo 9 on a windows laptop. I want to place a datum callout on a diameter dimension. However, creo automatically puts the datum on the witness line opposite the dimension value. How do I get them to be on the same side? This has been very frustrating, and I don't understand this limitation in the least. Thanks, 

Hello.I am using Creo Parametric 9.0.5.0 to export a simp rep (an assembly) of an assembly to obj format. I activate the required simp rep, then go to File --> Save as, and then change the type to "Wavefront (*.obj)". Export Wavefront dialog box is then opened. With the simp rep active, I click on "All" under the "Groups to export" section and then select the coordinate system that I want as the origin of the generated obj. I then adjust the values under deviation control, and click on "OK". When I open the generated obj file in Creo itself, I see that the origin of the file is in another location, which is different from the one I selected.  Am I missing some step in the export process? Thank you.

I want to be able to see inches and mm when using the Measure Tool. I set Dual_dim to Primary[Secondary] through model properties, but that does not seem to have an affect on the Measure tool. I know that you can toggle between units through the options on the measure tool, but I'd rather not have to keep switching back and forth.   Running Creo 3.0 M110

How to convert the assembly model in shrink-wrap as per model tree and assembly sequence with naming.I need to convert the assembly into shrink-wrap but it coming in external copy geom with no naming and sequence is disturbed.Can we have any solution (like .step file conversion)?

I've come from Solidworks. I have to switch back and forth between the front view and right view alot and the automatic refit is killing me. Having to zoom back in every time I change views is time consuming. Is there any way to avoid this without saving multiple orientations?

Mathcad Prime 7 I'm trying to find solution with solve block, but possibility to find result depends on "x" (would like to find) initial value. How to determine proper "x" initial value? I would like to use Mathcad for automation, but if it's not clear what initial value I must use, it will not be possible. Thank you!

HI team, please anyone help me to get 3D plot. I have attached a mathcad sheet. Thank you

Hi all, I would like to create a program that automatically starts Creo Parametric and do a set of operations. To start I created a basic program that only starts Creo and connects to Windchill. Here I already run into some problem where the program runs fine when started normally. However when i start it from Windows Task Scheduler it only runs when the user is logged on. If I select "Run wether the user is logged on or not", Creo fails to start and returns a general error. The user account and machine are the same in all situations. Anyone have an idea how to run Creo as scheduled task? I am using Creo Parametric version 10.0.4.0 and Windows Server 2019. ---------- VB.net code ----------Imports System.IOImports pfcls Module Module1    Const creoOptions As String = "-g:no_graphics -i:rpc_input"    Const creoStartup As String = "C:\PTC\Creo_10\Creo 10.0.4.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe"    Const logFilePath As String = "D:\_TaskScheduler\DX

I'm trying to run a dynamic analysis using a servo motor and just gravity for a landing gear, but everytime I try I get an error message stating parts have zero mass. I know it's the sub-assemblies that are causing this because when they are removed, the dynamic analysis works just fine. Unfortunately the subassemblies are a requirement for the project. Material files are assigned to every part, all part files and assembly files are in the same units and the sub-assembly files give mass measuremtns for the parts contained in the subassembly. It's only when I go to the top assembly that the analysis fails, and mass analysis of the top assembly says the two sub-assemblies have unknown material and masses. I have no idea how to fix this and would appreciate any and all help!

I am using Creo Parametric 11.0.2.0 and I am unable to rename a dimension inside a datum graph. I want to use the dimensions inside the graph with a family table, and it is easier to navigate the family table if the dimension is named. The current solution is adding a 'comment row' to the family table and labelling below the actual dimension. But the comment row does not move with the family table when new columns are inserted before (to the left of) the dimension in question.

Good afternoon, I've been utilizing a Mapkey in my config.pro, along with the Creo Distributed Batch executable, in order to assist in a task with parts in Creo Parametric 7. However, my organization has recently upgraded to Creo Parametric 11, and using the same operation with Creo Distributed Batch, the objects ran through the task in Creo Distributed Batch now fail. Upon further research, I find this from PTC:Is Creo Distributed Batch now longer supported with Creo 11.0 functionality and parts/assemblies? What is the new alternative to "run a mapkey defined in a config.pro" as described by Creo Distributed Batch? I've been seeing a lot of discourse about Mapkeys in Creo 11.0 and have been trying to put everything together.I can provide more information if needed. 

Hi,  Creo Windchill is very different from other PDM system. There is no real folder structure. I am confused of how to extract all drawing files from active workspace. I like to create a VB.net program to export all of them to PDFs, But I don't know how to extract the list of the filenames. Can anyone provide a code example of how to create a file list in Active workspace?  Thanks

I have a part with an truncated circle (with a flat ) for the base protrusion. I want to change this to a complete circle without having to redefine ALL THE FEATURES that refer to the "base protrusion."This would be changing an arc to a circle. A problem as old as time.I think it might be a good time to see if anyone has a solution.We are using Creo 10.0.7.0
