Hello PTC Community,I hope this message finds you well.I am working on a project where I need to generate a list of all components and datum planes via WebLink. The list should have three columns:Column 1: Component name /Datum Plane nameColumn 2: All available featureIDs for each component (I have attempted this with pwlMdlFeaturesGet but haven't been successful)Column 3: Identification of whether it is a datum plane, prt, or asm Here is my current code:<script language="JavaScript"> try { if (pfcIsMozilla()) netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect"); wpwl = pfcGetScript (); document.pwl = wpwl; wpwlc = wpwl.GetPWLConstants (); document.pwlc = wpwlc; wpwlf = wpwl.GetPWLFeatureConstants (); document.pwlf = wpwlf; } catch (err) { alert ("Exception caught: "+pfcGetExceptionType (err)); } function WlModelGetBOM() { var table = document.getElementById("bomTable"); table.innerHTML = ""; // Clear previous content var ret = document

I still have about 2 weeks left of my trial period and I got a new computer from my employer. I want to reinstall the trial version on the new computer. But I need a license for that.   Translated by the moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Ich habe noch etwa 2 Wochen von meiner Testphase übrig und ich habe von meinem Arbeitgeber einen neuen Rechner bekommen. Auf dem neuen Rechner soll die Testversion wieder installiert werden. Dafür brauche ich aber eine Lizenz.

What is the fiel format of a CREO part file? Binary? I am lookign at extracting the values associated with user-defined parameters defined in a CREO part. Maybe using CREOSON (just gathering info at the moment) ThanksJohn

Hi there I have some data of depth of 10 inputs  but I need the calculation to start from single point in each input and ignore the one above : for example the starting point of first input is 1.31 but its depth starts from (0) ...so I need the program to ignore all the data from 0 to 1.31 and starts at 1.31.the second input d2 has values from 0.5  I need the program to ignore this values and starts from 1.26 so basically it eliminates all the points before the starting points I decided Prime 10 is attached also the excel sheet  

I'm working on a weld assembly and there's something that's so extremely frustrating, I really need a solution to this.Whenever I place a weld I get the huge leader with all kind of stuff on it. For example I create a fillet weld all around a part. Ofcourse, like you would expect from Creo Parametric, the automatic All-around option doesn't work so I manually set it to yes. At this point I don't need to see the weld length. I never want to see the > shape at the end of the tail. So for every single weld I need to go to the symbol customization menu and turn off the > shape and the Weld length (which is called style for whatever reason). You can't mapkey this because the menu ID changes every time. Now comes the fun part. When I add other welds or change other welds that have no relationship whatsoever to the first weld, the whole weld symbol resets. Even its position! The company that advises us on using this CAD program, told us you have to reattach all your welds afte

Good morning everyoneI have a problem with 2d dimensioning....It happens to me like this: I select the "coordinate dimension" command, I choose the positioning,I go to select the two dimensions that I am interested in inserting.....but nothing does not insert them, highlights them but nothing they remain there in their place.....I open some old drawings and it works!!!!!!!!.....?????Can anyone give me a tip?   Translated by the moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Buongiorno a tuttiHo un problema sulla quotatura 2d....Mi succede cosi': seleziono il comando " quota di coordinate",scelgo il posizionamento,Vado a selezionare le due quote che mi interessano da inserire.....ma niente non le inserisce,le evidenzia ma niente rimangono li al loro posto.....Apro dei drawing veccchi e li funziona!!!!!!!!.....?????Qualcuno sa darmi una dritta?  

I have followed the tutorial on this reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/New-to-Creo-and-visual-cosmetic-threads/m-p/986492#M137459  and it worked fine. However when I close Creo and restart the mapkey it is not working anymore.   What did I do wrong?

Hi! I have a twosome question, as I am in doubt if there a better or more straightforward solutions as what I have done currently:A PTC document where I have a mechanic exercise to calculate reaction forces ("StaticExercise"). I would like to know how to format functions, like an area which overlaps pages. This makes in inconvenient. As well, I am very interested how equilibrium formulas can be formatted and solved.In another exercise ("SteelRodElongation_Exersise"), I have applied an IF function, because I would like that the calculation breaks or stops, so it ends up with 0. Now the calculation gives some strange units at the outcome, at Delta L (if you change σ0.2 to 1 manually. What would you advise? I have formatted the questions/notes in red in the files. Like to hear your thoughts!PTC Version is: 9.0.0.0. Thanks a lot

 

Hi folks,I'm wondering if it's possible manage elements that era created using the "Prismatic Elements" control.   It doesn't feel the other control on the geometry like "Maximum element size" or also the general Mesh setting as Max aspect ratio.   If you see the attached pic, where I've marked the two red brackets, I can't set the Wedge depth.   At the moment I work around this issue with the addiction of much volume regions (second pic attached). Thanks

No idea why CREO would create these COPY entries. Sometimes there are three of them for the same feature, and not necessarily in order of COPY 1 to 3.I would probably not even notice these until one of my chamfers refused to work properly on a very simple part (at the end of a cylinder).It would create the chamfer, it would show its profile in sketching, but in the end would not remove the material at all, just put some exterior rings for where the chamfer should have been. And no error was raised. Took me some time to figure out that the chamfer was applied to one of the COPY entries, even though I was clicking on the EXTRUDE feature itself.I had no idea what to do, so I deleted all the COPY entries and nothing was lost, it seemed that the part was really not affected by this -- and then the chamfer started working properly.Any ideas what these entries are and why are they created?Thank you!

I am looking for a way to create Unit Basis (Rate of Change) on a Flatness. I tried applying it in Annotate with a Composite frame, but it gives me a message stating that the "Per Unit Basis is not Compatible with the Specified Characteristic symbol." There doesn't seem to be a direct way to apply Unit Basis to Form.  I am also looking for a way to change the Tolerance Standard to ASME. It looks like ANSI and ISO are allowed out of the box. How would I add the ASME standard?  

I was working with exploded views that can be pulled from the subassemblies to the parent using the default explode. However the explode lines from the subassembly are not showing in the parent. Is that how its supposed to work or am I missing a setting that can bring the explode lines into the parent?

Hello, I have an issue here when exporting the flat state of Sheetmetal parts. DXF will be created from the drawing.We have checked off the splines option in the export menu.In most cases the splines (end points) in the exported DXF file are not connected. Our supplier needs to connect the end points by themselves.When I change splines to polylines, the end points are connected but the geometry contains only straight lines, we don't want this as well. Are there any settings we have to use to solve this issue

I have a part that shows the wireframe lines in white (for some reason, maybe the person who created it had a black background, otherwise I cannot see the reason for this).Is there a setting that controls the color of the lines in the wireframe view? Could also play with the thickness of those lines if there is a setting for that...But the COLOR is the burning issue for all parts that come with white/light gray lines.I tried Appearance --> System_Appearance color settings, but could not get it right, I found how to change the hidden lines color, but only that.Using CREO 10 on Windows 10.Many thanks!

As per the original post.    Hi BenLoosli,   In one of my project I have to update the assignee and reviewer details on drawing. So we are using the format to update this  for new also we are using format. Now to update the required parameters on drw. We are using Custom delegate. But seems like there is a glitch like sometime it is working fine and sometime it is not but in creo I can see the parameters with correct values. So I am not understanding why it is happening.    

Hi everyone, Long time viewer, first time poster.I am trying to make a chassis consisting of a swept C channel. It is consisting of a c channel changing in height but also is at an angle with reference to the original section.While looking simple, it has me quite flustured on the correct way to perform this. Got it half way there with the swept blend feature. But I am unable to rip the walls and create a flat pattern. How would you guys go about this? Keeping the model also simple to adjust. I am using CREO  4.0  Cheers, Peter 

I want to create a groove around the internal bore of a component, for an oil groove, the drawing dimensions show the start and end points as the same, so a continuous loop, but the groove moves along a helical sweep to its position 180 degrees from start, then returns to the origin.  Ive been looking at curves from equations to create the sweep profile, but struggling.  Attached a pic of the groove.

So i have been working on a project on my creo students version (creo parametric 11.0)and it seems that i am getting fatal errors frequently in some few minutes itself after opening the file.[i have been modelling with an imported IGES model.]so please find me some solutionsthis is the message im getting and dont know what to do please some one come to my aid .and i have also added my trace back log  too

Hi AllLooking to create a calculation which uses a drop down box to select beam size. I would like mathcad to then automatically populate all the remaining characteristics of the beam into the appropriate variables. I have downloaded the AISC shapes database as an excel file so I am using the READEXCEL function to input the excel data to mathcad. A combo box seemed like a really good fit. I'm trying to input columns from my data matrix into the combo box but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas? A snapshot of the simple worksheet below.  

I am trying to sweep a surface over a trajectory that has concave round edges. The problem is that it creates body that is overlapping. I need a single smooth body. Any ideas? 

We had a formula written in Mathcad 15 that solved a range of numbers and gave a solution of the entire range (see image below). When we convert to Mathcad Prime 9.0 only the last number of the range gets solved (second image). We are looking for a maximum throughout the range so this does not help us very much. Is there a way to write the function in Mathcad Prime 9.0 to give similar results to Mathcad 15? Both files are attached. 

Hej Guys, i am new to Mathcad and not very familar with it i have a worksheet with some functions and no i wanted to use the solveblock to find some solutions for me but i have no idea how i should write it down. i added  the worksheet with the functions. i have a function with two Variables that where i want to find those two variables when i only know one result of the two out put results that the funcions brings me. the constraints i have and the expted result i put to the worksheet. maybe someone can give me some advise on how the solveblock need to be set up for a function with two variables? Kind RegardsMarkus

Using Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0, is it possible to create an animation using both a servo motor and explode? Attempting to explode/unexplode an assembly, then show rotation using the servo motor. Can these two features be used simultaneously or will separate animations have to be created? 

Hi, I have create a cylinder which has a rope, when we rotate the cylinder the rope should move/rotate along the cylinder & repeat back to same position. Kindly help with an example if possbile. ThanksNaresh
