When saving a 2D drawing as PDF, how do we stop the stroke lines around symbols, etc? This is how it looks in Creo.When saved PDF, this is how it looks: 

Hi,One of my creo customer is looking for a sepcific type of BOM generation in Creo drawing? Attached is the BOM format. Kindly help with a soludion. Customer has tried to use NitroBOM but are not satisfied.ThanksNaresh

When I use the IDX process to create a board with KOZs that stay 0.5 mm from my PCB’s connectors, should I create references to the connector geometry directly from my KOZ sketch that is within my board model? This would mean that I would be referencing a component that is in my PCBA model instead of only using internal references to the raw card (example: the raw card’s side and front plane). Are circular references an issue with .idx files?

I went to create some exclusive symbols today and discovered what appears to be a bug in the symbol editor affecting PTC Creo from version 9.0.0.0 through the current release. When creating a new symbol with groups set to exclusive, or when adding a new group to an older symbol instance, the selections made through Menu Manager are ignored and all entities are displayed instead of only the selected entities in the group.Our current production version is 9.0.10.0, and I was able to reproduce the same behavior on clean installs of 9.0.11.0, 11.0.6.0, and 12.4.4.0.I was originally trying to copy an existing symbol created in Creo 8.0.7.0 using the same group selections, but quickly noticed the issue when entities I had not selected continued to appear in the symbol. What makes this even stranger is that the preview for the exclusive group displays correctly, but once the symbol is placed in the drawing area it behaves as though the highest-level group is active, with all entities displaye

The 3d models that my organization manage almost all belong to a top-level facility assembly in CED all stored in Manager Server of course. The top-level assembly is organized by rooms and the top-level assembly of each room is in a container. The vast majority of the time we are loading just sub-assemblies of the local area that we are interested in when loading from the server to CED Modeling. Occasionally we do need to load the top-level assembly when creating facility layout images for example.Over the 30+ years that we have been using CED (ME30->CoCreate->CED) the top level assembly has gotten quite large. Previously the assembly would take days to load from Manager Server but would eventually finish. Modeling performed pretty well once the load was complete.Recent attempts to load our top-level assembly have been unsuccessful. Most recently the load failed after chugging away for 10 days. The error thrown was “LISP error: Cannot open the file” followed by a file name in a l

I’m trying to calculate one bracket where hole for shaft. Part is very complicated and there are several forces in different locations of it. So easiest way to constrain part is add constrain to to hole of bracket. It work but it behaves wrong way now. All surfaces of hole are “locked” and it’s quite far away how it should behave when there is shaft in hole. One solution would be that turn it other way and add bearing force to hole and cnstrain other surfaces/points but it’s really hard to get right values etc on that case. So now would like to hear how that constrain can be done such way that it as close as possible same way as shaft in hole? (contact analyses can’t be used because of our poor license..) 

Hello everyone,I am working with a Creo Mechanism assembly and I would like to better understand how to manage the rigid bodies automatically generated by Mechanism.In the Model Tree, I can display a column called “Rigid Body #”. The components have values such as: Ground, 1, 2, 3, and Excluded.I have two questions: Is there a way to select all components that belong to the same Rigid Body #? For example, can I automatically select all components where Rigid Body # = 2? Is it possible to rename the automatically generated rigid bodies? For example, can I change the names from 1, 2, 3 to custom names such as body1, body2, body3, or more meaningful names? Any suggestion on the recommended Creo workflow would be very helpful.Thanks!Fabio

In the Creo assembly I have a weight which is not ok when I calculate model separately.Do you know why happened?  

I want the reference line for a section view to extend out of an orthogonal view less than it does here, by default. Is there a .dtl setting for that?

I retrieve an assembly in session. Then I use the "erase current” option in Creo (12.4.3.0).After that, I see the list where one item has a glyph in front of it. Anyone know what this is/means? 

Is there anyway to control or optimize the lay of the cables in a route? As you can see in the screenshot, the 8th cable in this route is in a suboptimal location and it’s driving the overall location diameter to be much larger in the model than it would in reality.

To allIf one has user parameter say ‘npattern’ is is possible to drive the variable members of pattern (CREO 12 parameter PTC_ACTUAL_PAT_MEMBERS or PTC_TOTAL_PAT_MEMBERS)Something simple like so:-PTC_ACTUAL_PAT_MEMBERS = npatternAs the CREO parameter is locked it is not possible! PTC_ACTUAL_PAT_MEMBERS  is a reserved symbol nameThanks

Is it possible to add a hyperlink in a callout in creo illustrate ? 

Hello,I am seeking assistance in configuring Creo to export CNC code compatiblewith the Grbl language.  I have attached two documents which define themachine specifications and a summary of the Grbl language.This effort will facilitate the lesson creation for Mechanical Engineering studentsto export solid model geometry to a small CNC machine.Any assistance with this effort will be very appreciated.'Thanks for your help!Regards,   Bill ChambersAdditional links:   1)  Configuring Grbl v0.9 · grbl/grbl Wiki · GitHub   2)  G Code Overview

Hi all.We have created our new AO, A1, A2 and A3 .frm sheets.Is it possible to set different text heights as default (notes, dims etc) for each .frm ?i.e, 2.5mm for A3, 3,5mm for A1I’ve tried setting the heights in the .dtl for each .frm but when we create a new drawing with them the text height on them all is 3.5mm

Hi everyone, I am trying to remove the attach notes from drawing view, anyone knows how to do that.I tired using ProDtlnoteErase with that it will erase the note until next regeneration.Please refer the picture (I want to remove the SCALE 3:1 note) and the code.void glass_drawing_anote::RemoveNotes(void* app_data, const std::string& target_view, const std::string& target_note){ ProDrawing drawing = (ProDrawing)app_data; ProError err; ProDtlnote* p_notes = NULL; int n_notes = 0; // Collect all notes err = ProDrawingDtlnotesCollect(drawing, NULL, PRO_VALUE_UNUSED, &p_notes); if (err != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR || p_notes == NULL) return; ProArraySizeGet((ProArray)p_notes, &n_notes); for (int i = 0; i < n_notes; i++) { ProDtlnotedata note_data = NULL; if (ProDtlnoteDataGet(&p_notes[i], NULL, PRODISPMODE_NUMERIC, &note_data) != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR || note_data == NULL) continue; // Get attac

Hi Guys, I’m using Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0 ,I created a few samples with lattice structures and wanted to compare the 3D printed result to the CAD design. Now for the formula driven/TPMS structures one can enter cell size and wall thickness. I wanted to measure the pore size and realized that the in the process of creation defined wall thickness isn’t the same as the resulting CAD strucuture. As an example I created a Schwarz primitive lattice structure with cell size of 2mm x 2mm x 2mm and a wall thickness of 0.25mm, but when I measure the wall thickness after creating the lattice feature, its not the same as the inputted parameter (I measured ~0.47mm). I have attached a few Screenshots to make my issue more understandable. You’ll see a part of a paper where it shows how the wall thickness is measured and pictures of the resulting parameters of the previousely mentioned model. Creo Parametric post lattice definition measurements methodology to measure wall thickness according to lite

Hi,from time to time there is the question on how to add a second nut in IFX. Well, by default this is not possible. But you can use the following workaround.Update 2026 May: We have a new enhancement for Intelligent Fastener. A third washers and a second nut is now available Follow the links for more detail: Additional Washer and Nut for IFX Additional Washer and Nut for IFX - Tips & Tricks Availability Creo Parametric 13.0 – IFX 13.4.0.0 Creo Parametric 12.4 – IFX 12.4.4.0 Creo Parametric 11.0 – IFX 11.0.9.0 Creo Parametric 10.0 – IFX 10.0.11.0 WorkaroundI will explain it by using the IFX nut ISO4032-6. Copy the file ISO4032-6.dat and rename it to ISO4032-6_as_washer.dat. Open the file and change NUTTYPE 1 to WASHERTYPE 21 Change the  columns in the file like shown in the image Finally the file should look like this Add a new icon for you new nut. Size should be 32x16 pixel. Now add this new nut to your catalog. I have added it to the mm catalog to a new group 'second_nut

Sir Isaac Newton   This month’s challenge is inspired by one of the great unsolvable challenges of physics, the Three Body Problem.  Of course, we won’t be asking you to perform the impossible in Mathcad Prime. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is the Two Body Problem for orbital mechanics. Earth-satellite two body problem   Challenge 1: Create the math functions and programs that can calculate the position, velocity, and acceleration of a Mazda Miata-sized satellite in orbit around the earth. (Why a Mazda Miata? It was my first and only car. Feel free to substitute a car of your choice.) Choose your orbital parameters for altitude (e.g., medium-earth, geosynchronous, high-earth), inclination, eccentricity, and any other factors.   Challenge 2 (optional): Incorporate advanced input controls to change the orbital parameters.   Challenge 3: Graph the x-, y-, and z-values for acceleration versus time. Create additional graphs for velocity and positio
