Is anyone else having config control issues with this new Creo+ update? All of our config options pointed to Windchill are broken and half of the others arent working correctly. I know PTC wanted to move all these option to the Creo portal but it seems like alot of things were not accounted for. Having to individually go into each of our company profiles and update the config since the global config option doesn't work is one thing we've run into. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Or workarounds?

Hi I want to attach an existing symbol(.sym) to a dimension in the drawing file. I need a c# or a c++ code to do this activity. Thanks in Advance 

I am trying to show axis for slotted holes,  Creo 4.0  

Hi there!I have an issue with the definition of the Prime user function.There are several matrices 2*2 in the general case ( the exact matrix number oscillates from 1 to 4-5-6).Each matrix has a lowercase index (connected to the data from the parameters table). I want to define user function to make matrix production. Due to my modest coding skills, I have no results to describe as appropriate. The relevant search on the forum gave some material but didn't seem to help. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Production-of-Matrices-Elements/m-p/676964 In the attachment, there is my problem sample, performed in Prime 10.0.0 Any assistance would be appreciated!

Dear All,   I am converting a 2D drawing from a part of an existing product into a MBD dataset. To do so, I would like my MBD dataset to fully encompass all the annotations found in the 2D drawing (as they are the critical dimensions of the part), however, on the 2D drawing a Pitch Circle Dimension (PCD) of a hole pattern has been specified. I tried to annotate this through selecting 'Show dimensions' on the holes that lay on the pitch circle, but this did not work. Furthermore I tried 'Dimension' from the annotations tab but this also seemed to not be able to show the PCD. On both PTC (community) website and Google I could not find any answer on how to do this correctly, so therefore I am posting here. My question is: How can I (3D) annotate the Pitch Circle Dimension?   I did find a small work around, to use 'dimension' between two holes of the dimension. This sort of gives the dimension of the PCD, but the two holes are not parallel to the x-axis of the annotation plane. S

I am trying to get a bode plot of a transfer function which I symbolically evaluated first. After that I want to insert some constants and then use it for a bode plot. Is there a way to do that? I am using PTC Mathcad Prime 10,0.1.0.  

Typically,I create a 2D cam diagram in Creo using the "Create a curve by using an equation" feature.After generating the curve,I create a new sketch and project the curve onto it.Additionally,I save a copy of this sketch. Subsequently, I utilize the "Datum" -> "GRAPH" option,and then I insert the copied sketch (the file) into this "graph" feature.Next, I employ the "graph" and the "evalgraph" function to construct a 3D cam diagram suitable for Creo's sweep cut feature.Thus, there are two cam diagrams in my process:One is a regular sketch that is linked to the 2D equation curve, which I use for making drawings;The other is the sketch in the "GRAPH".I believe there might be a better method for creating a barrel cam model and its associated drawings.I would appreciate it if you could share your experience,thank you~!

Hi,I want to know if it is possible to create a "Default Envelope Rep" that excludes internal components and I can solidify using JLink?   and I want to set quality also 

1. Describe the Problem Please update the drawing creation tool so that it isn't terrible.  The automatic dimensioning is a mess.  The leader placement for hole callouts is ridiculous.  It is far too many clicks to add basics such as hole centermarks, let alone the nightmare of patterning centermarks for a bolt circle.  Maybe have someone on the staff with experience working to common engineering standards help out the programmers? Why have you inflicted this upon us? 2. Are you using a workaround?Yes, encouraging my management to dump Creo for one of its more competent competitors.3. What is the use case for your organization?We make standard engineering drawings.4. What impact does this problem currently have on your organization?Wasted time, money, effort, lots of staff time spent complaining about how awful Creo is.

Hi, I am getting the following issue on Mathcad 10: "This value must be a scalar or a matrix" I am looking to define the output matrix as β. It seems to work on its own but not when I try and assign it as β.It isn't an issue when run on Mathcad Prime 8 or 9. Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi all,this is a topic that has been bothering me for a long time.Is there a way to apply the view orientation (perspective & zoom) of one image to another image? For example, I copied a figure 1 to a figure 2 and reoriented the view in the figure 2 and saved it. And then I realized that I would rather have the original view (the view from figure 1). But without the option of transferring the orientation from another figure, it doesn't seem possible. It also seems to be similar in animated sequences. I don't know how I could transfer a certain orientation from one sequence to another sequence. Can anyone help? Best regardsRamon Bohne(Siemens Energy)

Hi everyone, I have generated some 4-axis tool paths using the B-axis (rotating the stock), However, every time I export the Gcode it only has XYZ movements. I know that my tool paths are not great and there is still a lot of work needed so any suggestion is welcome, however the most important issue I need to solve is that the Gcode it exports is different than the toolpaths. So any help would be appreciated. I'm going to leave the Creo (Creo 9.0) file and a screenshot of the CNC interface for reference. Regards,Andrea

I am using Creo Simulate Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.3.0I'm having an issue adding a measure. I have a pair of nested cones that represent the front of an aerodynamic body. There is a pressure applied to the outside of the outer cone. There is a bonded interface between the two cones. So, this is like a cone with a thin coating of a different material.I want to know if the coating will delaminate. I want to put a measure on a line along the inner surface of the cone so I can measure shear. However, I can't figure out how to get shear in a specific axis (not one of the primary axes), and whenever I add a measure to a line the study will no longer run.

Hello,i want to install Creo6 with Win11 on an new computer. The licensfile is ok, only windows firewall is installed.When i start the licensidentification everything looks ok, after dropping the licensfile into i get the message "is started" but after this nothing happens and no further reaction or message (also after some minutes). What is the problem?Thanks Alex

It seems as if our IT dept has decided independently that they can save a lot of money on getting computers with slower processors as long as the processor has a good Turbo speed. I've never paid much attention to the Turbo speed when specifying a processor for Creo. What are the thoughts on Creo using the processor Turbo? This is a co-workers new workstation, I'm going to ask him to run the creosite benchmark on it and on his old computer too.  I just can't imagine this being an upgrade, but maybe I just need an education...not sure.   The processor in our specific situation is a Xeon W3-2423 2.1 GHz base speed. My current workstation (~3 years old) uses a Xeon W-2223 @ 3.6 GHz base speed. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/233484/intel-xeon-w32423-processor-15m-cache-2-10-ghz/specifications.html

Sketch Inversion Problem I need some ideas on how to make this sketch robust so that it will not invert on me.I know this has been a long-time problem since the beginning of ProE.I would have thought this would have been solved by now. I’m working on creating a UDF for an arc slot.I also have a different UDF I’m working on for a pattern of these on a bolt circle pattern On the pattern I had a similar problem if I tried to use the start angle dim as the pattern angle. When I switched to an axis angle, the issue went away. Here is how my sketch is constructed.  I’m having an issue with the sketch inverting when I exceed a certain dimension on the start angle.I know this is a bit extreme for the start angle, but I’m trying to exercise the sketch to make sure it works in all cases.  At 126 degrees for the start angle the rounds on the end of the slot invert.  However, if the slot angle is increased at some point, it fixes itself and I can i

I think Advance sweep features are powerful and well controlled compared to cabling. Having said that, why was Cabling application created. All features could have been added to sweep feature menu. Mainly I think it is just the flattening of harness. why to make it so complex instead keeping it simple with advance sweep and curves?    

we are using Creo Design Engineering Package. We are facing an issue, while saving file with some changes or even creating a new file, software program is not creating "Numerical Control" (NC) for machine.  We are first time user and not familiar to this software. Kindly support us in this regard asap. Regards  

Hi All, Recently I replaced my graphics card for a Nvidia RTX 4000 card. Since then Creo (8.0) tends to crash way more often. At first I had my doubts whether Creo is using the card or grabs back to the onboard card but in Creo the system information tells me it is using the RTX card. Any idea how I can figure out what causes this crashes? Is it coming from Creo or could it be the card itself? Thanks in advance!Bart

Hello all, I want to know how to define ProAsmComppath used in ProSelectionAlloc for a feature in skeleton used in assembly. I have feature ID for skeleton as 98 and in this skeleton I have a feature whose path I want to add has feature ID 3560.  I saw in knowledge hub mentioned the method as {98,3560}. But when I try in ProSelectionAlloc to mention this way. It shows error How do I mention correct path in ProSelectionAlloc ().  Thank You.      

Hello everyone, maybe someone can help me solve or has a ready-made solution for solving a system of nonlinear equations by the gradient descent method. I use PTC Mathcad Express Prime 9.0.0.0 

Hi I have recently installed Creo 11 and been able to make tables in MBD.  I would like to be able to see these tables and other annotations in Creo View Express  I export the Creo model with the tables and other annotations to pvz format and expect to see the tables but they aren't there.  I can see dimensions with GD&T callouts so I am assuming my recipe file (attached) is ok.  I did some digging and found that maybe I need the Creo View adaptor 11.1.0.0?  Do I even need the Creo View adaptor if I am manually creating the PVZ file using Save As from Creo 11? Support_for_Table_Annotations_for_Creo_Parametric  I thought maybe my version of Creo View Express was the issue so I went to the Creo View Express download page here and even though it says Creo 11.1. it downloads 11.0.0.  I installed that and loaded my pvz file and still no tables being displayed. I used a recipe file as attached.  I had to change the rcp exte

Hi,In electronics, we use an operator for the parallel connection of resistors. For example: R1 || R2 which means (R1*R2)/(R1+R2). How is it possible to create an operator like this so that I can use it just like basic operators such as /+ * ?

I am trying to do a cable parameters export and then import the file back. Even though I try to import the exact same file back, the ProInputFileRead-call crashes Creo without error code. The whole of Creo just dies with a fatal error popup.  I have tried to import the same file manually in the Cable Parameters window using and that works fine. ProError fileExportStatus = ProOutputFileMdlnameWrite(mdl, L"cable.cbl", PRO_CABLE_PARAMS_FILE, globalHarness, (ProAppData)wideString_c, NULL, NULL); ProError fileImportStatus = ProInputFileRead(mdl, L"cable.cbl", PRO_CABLE_PARAMS_FILE, globalHarness, (ProAppData)wideString_c, NULL, NULL);
