I am currently working in Creo View 10.0.0.0 (standalone) and have an active session open with hours of unsaved work on a fairly large assembly in PVZ format (with sections, color coding, visibility states).When trying to save the active view as an Annotation Set, I receive the following error:Save Error: Markup object no longer existsSymptoms: The newly created Annotation Sets appear as black squares in the sidebar instead of regular thumbnails and are not loaded on double click. In Windows file Explorer, the original .pvz does not update. Instead, temporary files like [filename].etb.~1~ are generated, indicating the save process aborts before the container is packed. Using "Save As" for the .pvz to a new folder results in a file where the Annotation Sets are broken in the same way. The same happens when saving a copy as *.pvs. Question: The session is still open and the visual state is intact in my RAM. Is there any known workaround to force-save this current state? How can I ide

It’s easy to add the vertical line marker - but now I can’t delete it.  How is this normally accomplished? 

Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the authors of Creoson and Creopyson for their work and for everything these tools make possible. We have developed a Python application to automate the export of DRW drawings into various output formats while applying specific file naming conventions.However, we are experiencing significant delays when our application requests Creo to access DRW files. For example, opening a relatively small drawing can sometimes take several minutes. We do not observe these delays when opening the same file directly in Creo.For reference, Creoson, our Python application, and all Creo files are hosted on an internal company server. We are trying to determine the source of these delays. Could they be caused by our Python application, Creoson, Creo itself, or the server/network infrastructure?Is there a way to monitor the communication between Creoson and Creo, enable detailed logging, or use another troubleshooting method to ide

I have a subordinate UDF that creates a set of features including an extrusion.  One of the extrusion dimensions is set as a variable dimension in the UDF and has a prompt assigned.   When the UDF is inserted, user is not prompted for the dimension.  instead, the existing value is used.  

Hi everyone,I am trying to activate a trial license for PTC Mathcad Prime 10.0.1.0 from Express, but I am unable to obtain the license.I successfully logged into my PTC account and completed the License Wizard. However, when I click "Acquire License", I receive the following message:"Error in License Processing. Please contact PTC License Management."No additional details are provided.I am using Mathcad Prime 10.0.1.0 on Windows and trying to activate the free trial version. I have already verified my email address and can log into my PTC account without any issues.Has anyone experienced a similar problem?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I save a file from the full trial so that it is possible to open it in the Express version?ll trial so that it is possible to open it in the Express version?

I need help with the movement of a carousel. Does anyone have any idea how to make different parts move up and down while the carousel is rotating?

I’ve been revisiting Mathcad after some time away, and I had a question about functionality that used to exist in older versions.Back when I was using Mathcad 15, I remember being able to plot vector fields (for example, visualizing a 2D vector function with arrows over a grid) fairly directly using the built-in plotting tools.Now that PTC Mathcad Prime has been around for a while and has gone through multiple updates, I’m wondering:Does the current version of Mathcad Prime support vector field plotting natively? If not, is there any recommended or standard workaround within Mathcad Prime (without exporting to other tools)? Has this feature been intentionally removed, or is it something planned for future releases?I’m especially interested in workflows comparable to what was possible in Mathcad 15, where defining a vector-valued function and visualizing it didn’t require too much manual construction.Would appreciate any insights from those who’ve worked with both versions

We have defined three datums:A - a planar surface with a flatness requirement B - a single hole, perpendicular to A C - a slotTo account for the "ISO Bug" (Annex I in ISO 5459:2024) , we want to use the position tolerance (see red box) with a DRF of A|(B-C) instead of A|B|C.But somehow Creo GD&T Advisor does not let us create that DRF via the “Establish DRF” functionality: Is it possible to create custom DRF in GD&T advisor?

Hi, I am trying to create a shock model with spring and damping parameter which include compression damping and rebound damping. as Creo allows us one damping i tried by give the user defined force as damping with domine condition, but still i couldn’t find a proper way to execute it on user defind force reference point and measure parameter creation referencecan any one help me in this asap.

I am using Creo View Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0 When I open .pvz file larger than 500MB in Creo View Lite 8.0.0.0 Build 27, I get an out-of-memory error, even if the memory limit for the Lite version is 16GB. The error appears immediately after I see the 3D model fully loaded. With the same file my colleagues have no loading problems. They use the same version of Creo View Lite. Here are the errors that I faced: Insufficient memory Creo View Lite has reached its maximum memory limit and will be closed. To view the data, use a version of the product with the Massive Assembly license option. Original, in italian: Memoria insufficiente Creo View Lite ha raggiunto il limite massimo di memoria e verrà chiuso. Per visualizzare i dati, utilizzare una versione del prodotto con l'opzione di licenza Massive Assembly.

I can’t figure out how to adjust the scale of the y-axis.  Is this possible? (see screen capture) 

I have created an Excel document in which I calculated the start and end coordinates for strips. The total number of strips is 23. I generated the strip data using table options in Mathcad.Now, I want to perform the same calculation for strip start and end coordinates directly in Mathcad. Please refer to the calculation used in cell F42 in Excel. How can I replicate this equation in Mathcad? 

As shown in the image below, I have defined a pipe spec that has a particular color assigned to it (in this case, green). This spec is shown to be this way in the associated Pipe Spec Directory file as well. However, despite all of this, the pipe keeps showing up as blue! I’ve updated the pipe model and regenerated the assembly but nothing seems to work. What might be causing this issue? 

Hi,Would anyone know how to prevent Creo 10 from creating cap surfaces for tapped holes while using the Creo Parametric Hole feature?The surface shown in the image below is not the side wall of the thread but a cap surface at the top of the thread.  This makes you have to query select the hole which is an extra step when assembling parts to the tapped hole at the top-level assembly.Thanks for any help you can provide,Don A  

Creo Version: Creo 10.0.8.0 and Creo 12.4.4.0.I’m trying to figure out where the metrics files are being written.It looks like files are being written somewhere.   But Windows 11 search is terrible, so it can’t fine files I can see with my eyes.I have the config_init.mc option set as follows.DIR_METRICS    C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_metrics DIR_METRICS_NT C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_metrics DIR_REPORT_NT    C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_report (This works, so I know I have write permission)Image from ModelCHECK configuration tool shows files are being written somewhere.  (probably) 

Hi everyone,We've recently started using Creo 13 and noticed something about the AI assistant feature. In the demos and presentations, the AI assistant provides really impressive answers — but when we try it ourselves, it doesn't seem to generate any responses, and it doesn't appear to be running as a beta version either.Do we need to do something specific to enable the beta version, or is it simply not available yet and we need to wait?We have customers who are expecting this feature based on what they've seen in the demos, so we want to make sure we're not delivering an incomplete solution. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Why are new features already introduced in Creo Parametric 12.4.2 and 12.4.3 listed as new in Creo Parametric 13.4.0? 

Make sure Make sure "Random hardware addresses" is turned off in Window’s settings.My Mathcad Prime license file wouldn’t recognize my computer with  "Random hardware addresses"  turned on,

Running up against what might be a bug in the VB API when using Excel.This is simply trying to get the PTC-provided example listSubAssemblyComponent to function in Excel VBA rather than its original VB. I intended to make this the basis of code to extract the model tree into an Excel spreadsheet for internal engineering management purposes - old way we do this is to save the model tree from Creo, and import it into a spreadsheet via VBA macros, but I want a more streamlined way to do it. (This ain't necessarily it, and I'm open to better alternatives.)It appears to allocate something to currentPath (typing ?currentPath is Nothing in the immediate window returns false). But it hangs up every time on the line with currentPath.Leaf, returning the message:Run-time error '-2147352567 (80020009)': pfcExceptions::XToolkitGeneral ErrorI don't see any useful explanation of this error. I've fiddled around with everything I can think up on how to get around it, but I'm starting to believe it's a

Hello there,  In the past, I had some trouble keeping eye on the syntax for some of config files for Creo. There are so many different config files, and each use their own syntax, and if you miss just one char Creo won’t load it. It was especially tiresome for me when I wanted to add IFX fasteners to the library with custom parameters and such.For a long time I had an idea to make a little software that can handle all the config options for Creo. I’ll be honest here, I’m not and expert programmer, I just know enough that I know my limits, so it is clearly made with AI. But a tool is just a tool for me, and I’ll be using it for my self, and if anyone interested, I’m open to sharing it for free.If you are interested what functions would you like to see in it? Would you be open to test it with me?

How do you activate the lattice feature, does it require an additional module?

I am using Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Release 20.4 and Datecode20.4.3.0 If one of these situations happen, sometimes the CREO turns-off/dissapears (the window dissapears, as well as the icon in the taskbar) and all the work that has been done and it is not saved is lost. As the Windchill is still running, this are the steps we have to do: 1. Close Windchill 2. Reopen Creo 3. Reopen Windchill 4. Reload the cad. This has a long time consumption, as well as making us lose the work done. This situation SOMETIMES happens when: 1. The laptop is disconnected from the screens 2. The laptop is disconnected from the docking 3. Laptop enters sleep mode or autohibernation Here are the errors that I faced No warning. Only the icon of the CREO in the keybar dissapears, as well as the CREO screen.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.4.0 Imported incremental IDX files (sent to Creo from Allegro PCB editor) remove the rounds/fillets around my board and any cutouts that I had previously. We need to accept the change to the board because the board thickness is changed, but this also forces us to accept the removed fillets and cutout. How do we fix this?
