CAD

We run FLEXnet on our company license server for Mathcad licenses. Currently on version 12. Our Mathcad license file has both permanent and subscription licenses of Mathcad Prime (and 15) in it. When a user runs Mathcad, the server first assigns a license from the permanent pool. If that pool fills up then it assigns a license from the subscription pool. The problem is when a user receives a license from the permanent pool, the license type shown within their Mathcad software says Home Use when it should say something like Commercial. This results in certain calculations being inaccessible and causing errors in their worksheet. But if a user receives a license from the subscription pool, the license type is shown as Subscription which should be fine.I would like to know why our Mathcad license server is serving us Home Use licenses instead of the commercial licenses we paid for, and how do we fix this?

Need PTC to provide Mathcad 14 license to activate Mathcad on Win 11 system

Have just paid for a licence to upgrade from MathCad Prime Express 12.0.0.0 to the full Prime version, hopefully 12.0.0.1. Following "Options|Get Licence" I have encountered a prompt asking for my product code. Where can I find this? Do I need to log in to the Fullfillment portal? Does it use the same general ptc account? It didn't recognise mine. When looking for help I am told I don't have access permission and haven't paid for that level of support. Elsewhere it says I have "Gold" level support. I an angry that you have now pointed me to a public forum where I can't post useful identification data. What a horrible mess. Can anyone help me get into contact with someone at PTC?

Hi, as you can seeat the bottom of the picture, when evaluting the function “Iresonance”, instead of replacing the variable with the actual, it gives “function” in the result, but the function “wresonace” is already defined. How to subtitute it? Thanks 

How do you change or write the text in the title bar? 

I make a hole and create Geometric Tolerance in model, such as 3/8-16 UNC -2B TAP THRU 5/16 DRILL (0.257) .0750 - (1) HOLE. I only can put GTOL as a free note in drawing as shown belowIs there a method to place to a hole note directly?Thanks,

Hi, I’m just trying to get the real and imaginary part from a complex number, but the result is just not right.  

I am trying to add some labels in Creo drawing view. I tried square box with filled hatching and Image placement. Don't want to generate 3D file for this labels , just for drawing view.Both way it is still showing lines behind hatching and image in PDF export.When i generate symbol, it hides model lines in Creo , but when exported to PDF it wont hide lines and they still show.Anyone knows any other solution ? Response much appreciated.Creo doesn't have Text with filled background option. It is possible in Solidedge but not able to do it in creo. 

Creo Parametric 12.4.4.0I want to the empty view because I write the notes. please teach me. how to make a empty view box.

Is there a Drawing Option setting that would allow the default diameter leader to be the single outside point (like on the left) instead of the double inside (like on the right).Currently, we have to double click and then middle click to create the .625 dimension, then you have to deselect, left click to re highlight and right click to flip the arrows.  90% of our diameter dimensions end up with the single arrow, so we would like this to be the default config option.Thanks PTC Community!This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I can not contact a support department "access denied" to get a new licence file to install my Mathcad 15 on a new computer. Could you help me. I am desperate ! J.P. Collette jpcollette@walopt.com

I use a Wacom Tablet for daily use. I would love it if the User Interface/tabs would be allowed to move to the bottom of the screen. Yes I am lazy but bringing my pen to the top of the screen to move through the tabs is more difficult since they are at the top of the screen than if they were at the bottom of the screen. I use my stylus with the brush tool in Freestyle to move nodes around, so someone at PTC is thinking outside the box to make this more Stylus friendly, customization of the user interface would be a logical next step to make this easier to use.Does anyone have a script or a way to change this?

Hi,Creo tells me that embedded components in an inseparable assembly are missing:How is this possible? My understanding is that those components are saved in the assembly file-how can they be missing?

HiI am experiencing a visualization issue in Creo Ansys Simulation. (12.4.2.0)The simulation completes successfully and the result legend/color scale is displayed correctly. However, when viewing the results, the part is displayed as a wireframe and the contour plot (fringe colors) is not shown on the geometry.The issue occurs across all simulation types and result types that I have tested.An interesting observation is that when I start a result animation, the contour colors immediately appear and are displayed correctly during the animation. Once the animation stops, the model returns to the wireframe-only display.Has anyone encountered this behavior before?Thanks 

Hello. It is posible to rout a pipeline and add a fittings using toolkit in creo piping? Anybody has such expiriens?   Looks like posible to get some information about pipes in creo, but not posible to create new features...

Hello PTC community,  I'm using Creo Parametric 9.0.4.0 and would like to perform simulations. Apparently, the Simulate is grayed out but Flow Analysis is not. Is this licensing issue or something else? Thanks,SR

All,CREO 8: Is there an easy way to not have multiple lines in bom for flexible components in assembly? No duplicates or No duplicate level does not work. I saw something about editing the bom. I did not understand itI tried using family tables instead of flexible models, but having the same problem with multiple lines.WayneF

Hello,I am working on a Creo Toolkit customization that needs to identify features created from a UDF and generate sequences based on the original UDF feature names.As described in CS196043, when a UDF is placed in Creo Parametric, the feature names from the source UDF are not preserved in the resulting model. Because of this behavior, I cannot directly compare the placed feature names with the original UDF feature names.However, in the UDF Placement dialog, under the Options tab, the "Redefine These Features" section displays the original feature names from the source UDF. This information appears to be available somewhere internally within Creo.I reviewed the Creo Toolkit API documentation but could not find an API that provides access to the original UDF feature names.My question is:Is there any Creo Toolkit API that allows access to the original feature names shown in the "Redefine These Features" list? If not directly, is there another supported method to retrieve the mapping betw

Hi there , How can I work in Mathcad faster. it freezes when I use large data I have to use loop functions , however , it took so much time and doesn't calculate I have to close it and open it again and still doesn’t work  Thanks, Yusra 

Hey,I have used zone section view, I want to increase the X-Hatching size in my drawing view. How can I do it?

Hello All,Please find the below definitions of ECAD Documents and ECAD Types in Windchill.ECAD Document is typically a subtype of EPM Document (Engineering Product Management Document) used to manage electronic design data originating from ECAD authoring tools such as:Altium Designer Cadence Allegro Mentor Graphics / Xpedition etcECAD integrations allow organizations to store, version, control, visualize, and manage electronic design information as part of the overall Product Definition and Digital Thread. ECAD documents can participate in product structures, change management, BOM management, and release processes.ECAD BoardECAD Board subtype typically represents the physical PCB layout generated by an ECAD tool.It contains:PCB geometry Stack-up information Component placementThis object often becomes the master electronic design representation managed within Windchill and may be associated with Parts, BOM, Changes etc. ECAD DefinitionECAD Definition generally represents the authorita

!--scriptorstartfragment-->Hello, I would like to simulate a mechanism consisting of a pendulum (Point A), a pulley (Point B), and a slider (Point C) in an assembly. The conditions are:- The wire between Point A and Point C is inextensible (constant length, no stretch, no slack).- The wire passes over Point B (pulley).- The pendulum is rigid one-part. My questions are: 1. Is it possible to build such an assembly model using relations or other Creo mechanisms?2. Can this model be used for motion simulation in MDO (Mechanism Dynamics Option)? I tried using relations based on measured distances (Analysis → Measure).However, it seems that the measure feature cannot be used on the left-hand side of a relation, so I could not enforce the constraint properly. Does anyone have suggestions for modeling this kind of system in Creo?(I am useing Creo11) Thank you in advance.``!--scriptorendfragment-->

Hola - We use CreoNC extensively - however, we use Vericut for simulation and never have built a machine model for use within Creo. I’m attempting to do that now.At no point have I been able to make the kinematic machine model appear in the Creo NC window. I’ve read the (thin) information available. I’ve asked Gemini. I then went to the Knowledge Base and downloaded the FADAL VMC file (close enough to the vertical mill I created) and I can’t get that to work either.I am using Windchill - maybe that’s the issue since I don’t have the machine in the pro_mfg_workcell folder, though I did browse to where it is and it accepted the entry.I also cannot find “Machine Play” anywhere, either in NC or ProProcess.Licensing issue? TIA

I would like to use the result of a quadratic function for another mathematical operation. Example: F(x)=4x^2+x-3 gives the results -1.0 and 0.75. I would like to use the value 0.75 for another operation. Please give me some tips on how to write this in Mathcad.
