CAD

Hello Mathcadeers,Been using MP10 for the last few days/weeks, and these are the thing that I hope Mathcad can improve to make prime faster. Hopefully MATHCAD designer/project lead/project manager is in this PTC Community. 1. Let say I want to add + in the equation below. In M15, I just need to hit SPACEbar once, and I can add +. In MP10, I have to hit SPACEbar twice. I could use RIGHT arrow button in MP10, but it is not quite ergonomic and RIGHT arrow button is far away.  2. Zoom in and Zoom out is laggy. There is about 1s delay. If the delay can be set to 0s, that would be awesome.  3. There is no option to UNDOCK the menu in MP10. In M15, you can undock the function so that it is always open. In M15, say I do Programming, I can Add Line, do if, assign value <-, do for, with just 4 mouse click. With MP10, it will take 8 mouse clicks. Would be good if Mathcad Prime can have the option to UNDOCK menu.  4. Not many options with Right Click. For exam

Hai all,   Please refer below. Here the Smart hole chart option "Show hole ID" will show the individual hole position when selecting the respective table raw. It will be great if i can select the full set of type holes (Example A1-A4) to see where these holes are positioned. This will be helpful when showing the hole details in section view as i don't want to show same hole type in multiple section views. please let me know in any way it is possible.     Best regards, Abhinand  

Good morning everyone I need to change the default values ​​of the attached image, regarding the screw passage diameter I saw that it is modified on the DIN13-1.hol file of the IFX folder, but the depths and diameter of the screw seat in IFX does not take them into account because it goes to get them from another place..has anyone already tried to make these changes? to not lose these changes it would be better to position them externally so that it is the same for all users if so how? Thanks  

Hello Mathcadeers,I am designing a phase lock loop circuit (electrical engineering) and trying to use Mathcad Prime 10. I got stuck, as Mathcad Prime 10 could not find the solution. I used to be able to solve this, with no problem in Mathcad15.The program is to find the cross section (on the x-axis) of the DARK and the RED traces, where Fout1 is a variable. Attached is the MP10 file. For illustration, I set Fout1 to sweep from 3.5Ghz to 12.5Ghz, 1Ghz step. It takes really long (really long) to find the solution. If Fout1 has 3 points, then takes few minutes. If Fout1 is say 10points, it probably won't be able to find the solution. In Mathcad15, it takes 2 or 3 seconds. Attached is the file, in case anyone want to take a a look.  Regards,Ak      

Hello,I can not find the result. Example11 is my sheet it should be like in the file example22.regards,

I have to use Matcad on one of the modules of the university course i am doing. I went to purchase the student license and it states that the estore is undergoing maintenance but it will provide me with prime 10 free for 30 days. So i was emailed a link, downlaoded prime 10 and then after being told i had to create two accounts, one on the web and one on the app it eventually got the license and full functionality. I then get an email stating my trial is running out and to click the link tp purchase a student account. I click it and it asks me to enter details and someone will contact me. This has been over 2 weeks now and multiple forms filled in for contact have been ignored and no one has contacted me so i can purchase a student license. I am at a loss. ALl i want to do is keep MatchCAD going for more then 30 days as the module is 3 months long! BUt for some reason PTC seem impossible to actually purchase their product.Does anyone know how i can purchase this license or how I can ma

I have a permanent floating license for an older version.  Although I have the license files, I no longer have the Flexnet server files (for LINUX) to serve the license.   Can anyone help with the Flexnet server files?

Hi, Creo keeps shutting down because of this error. I have the student version and it basically says that it doesn't have "enough" access but I have already allowed it to communicate through my firewall. Plus, I uninstalled and reinstalled the diagnostic tool and it still won't work. I'll be really grateful ofr any suggestions on how to fix it. Thanks!Error message ↓ 

Hello,Why does PTC Mathcad Prime seem more oriented towards CIVIL and MECHANICAL Engineering, and much less towards Electrical Engineering, and Physics, and more in depth Mathematics? Will this be the case in the future?    

Hello - I looked high and low and attempted searching for this request online and within CREO 10.In CREO Assy you can select one component and change the transparency of that component - but when you go to drawing the view is monolithic - Solid or hidden but not hybrid. There is one component that I want to display hidden line removal to show features within the part. I tried Component Display under Layout/Edit. I went through the prompts - but nothing changes. Is this possible - and why so hard to achieve?I read online about Display States within CREO - but when I search CREO help I see nothing in CREO 10.Thanks for helping.

Is it possible to align tables to another tables or to view or any entity in drawing sheet?

Hello, we migrated from Creo 8 to 11. I have a problem in sketcher, those blue boxes around dimensions. Upon entering a value I cant even see the number. Any Ideas what could be the problem? I dont know if its graphical glitch or some setup/option problem.    

I am looking for a way to create a fastener with _custom_ geometry, meaning that the screw should have geometric features that don't exist at all in any of the IFX screw types. In particular, I am currently looking for a way to create a captive screw that would have the geometry of DIN912 but a captive thread (rod). See attached image - the existing dimensions in SCREWTYPE01 would remain, but additionally I would need a reduced-diameter rod size DC (to make it captive) , as well as full-diameter cylindrical face height DH (it may be slightly different from just a thread height B). I marked my new features and their sizes in red. Is this possible in IFX? I would imagine, I may use any SCREWTYPE1 part as a starting point, modify the geometry, add two extra dimensions as required, adding control of these extra dimensions in the .dat file (i'd keep the "SCREWTYPE  1" in the .dat file) and hope it would work. However before I try that myself I'd like to know if that

I have been using Creo 9.0 for the several years at company, Suddenly, I cannot run Creo because of license error message and AFX&IFX fail. Any idea how to fix this problem? I tried changing the settings to fix this problem but it didn't work.(https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Education-Forum/Creo-doesn-t-work-except-on-the-wifi-that-it-was-downloaded-with/m-p/855599#M13362)  1. License Warning Requesting PROE Engineerlll ... Requesting ROE_MechFoundation ...  -15: Cannot connect to license server.  Run ptcstatus.bat for server status 2. AFX failed to load. 3. IFX failed to load.

Hi I have a torsion spring which is modeled with relations to show it as near to real world as possible. This behaves correctly (as a stand alone model)  adjusting the diameter, body height etc, when the parameters are modified within the spring design. The working deflection range of the spring  is from 0° - 193° between the 2 legs.  When this spring is installed into an assembly and the spring is made as a flexible component and constrained by an angular positions in the assembly model. The flexible spring behaves correctly through the deflection range 0° - 179°, but anything over that, then the angular measurement is reversed. For example at full deflection on the assembly model 193° , the flexible component measurement analysis reads 167° ( i.e. 360 - 193).In the assembly model the spring then appears disconnected.There is no difference if the analysis plot is set to 0-360 or +/- 180.The only way I have found to gain the correct measurement is to manually modify

We work in a dual ECAD environment - PADs and Xpedition. We are trying to move to the IDX standard, but we keep on hitting road blocks, especially with holes. For those that use these formats, how do you collaborate with holes?   Some issues: Current Hole feature doesn't include any copper ring that we would want to be shown on the ECAD side when we send it over. Current BOARD Hole feature doesn't allow for ref des' to be placed PADS doesn't support BOARD holes, only holes in a 'part'. They also don't support MTG hole type. Which means every MTG hole is coming in as a PIN type. However, PIN types are not collaborated upon in Creo for IDX, because they should be coming from the components.   How are you handling holes with collaboration? 

Hello, I want to print a Mathcad worksheet to PDF by using Mathcad15 command (mathcad.exe -p test.xmcd) in order to realize automate batch printing. But it cant't show the list combo box when printing by this way. This problem also appear when printing in the Mathcad15 GUI if I don't pull down the worksheet page to "active" the list combo box, only when I pull down the page and view the list combo box, it can be showed in the printed PDF (case).  Any ideas?Thanks for answer.

I want to solve the following equation at the bottom and get T_react/T_com on one side and the rest on the other side. Is there a way to rearrange the equation like that? I am using Version 10.0.1.0 

This label operation may not be performed on the item XXXXXX, since it is of type Test Suite, and that type has an Add Label Rule. The rule has evaluated to deny permission to perform the operation.

Good morning,  I'm having a similar issue, the thread note that you are seeing is a note of a cosmetic thread,  In the holes made with standard hole  i can apply the note that i would from the .hol file but in the hole made with cosmetic thread i'm not able to understand from where it's taken and i can't edit.Even if in the cosmetic hole thread i'm selecting the same library of the standard hole with the "right " note i'm not able to obtain the result this i want.  any suggestion? Thanks! Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Cosmetic-Thread-Class-Issue-Creo-5-0/m-p/612900#M65730 

We have aging licenses of Mathcad 14 that we've kept going as long as possible but the end is nigh. Mathcad Prime's licensing is a yearly rental and I don't want to do that. We've evaluated seveal replacements. Does anyone have any opinions on this Maple Flow product? Can't use smath because of security. Other tools like Blockpad are too distant from Mathcad.

Hi, using Mathcad 15.0. I have a solve block producing some very strange units, and I can't get it solve with the right units.  If I take each result out of the Find, the units are right. Anyone know how to get this to work? Mathcad file attached.

I used to enter &model_name:d into the title block.  We just upgraded to CREO 10.  I tried adding the parameter to the drawing even.

My team has been working at solving this problem for ages and we can't seem to find a suitable solution. Our fab shop uses formed part drawings instead of flat patterns for forming sheetmetal; they require dimensions for bends to reference the apex of a bend. This is normally fine, but when it comes to joggles, we're not able to come up with a method that works for engineering drawings and our press operators. I've attached a simple part showing the desired dimension and the dimensions that I'm able to achieve in a .dwg.  Has anyone managed to find a dimensioning method that produces the dimension in the attached "Model Example"?

Attached is a Prime 4 file that allows you to plot text in a graph, like: Of course it runs in Prime Express...   Enjoy! Luc
