Hi there, today, when I started Creo10, this message pop up: Why, the heck, does PTC Creo 10 require my location now? Has anyone experienced the same?

I have tried many different export options trying to keep my grouping hierarchy in Creo Illustrate. But anytime I import an FBX file, all objects are just pulled into the root object and groupings are lost. This is not the case with some other formats like DAE, but the file size is to large for the pipeline I am involved in.  I have prepared the FBX files in both Maya and Blender with the same results.  Does anyone know a process to keep the hierarchy that I might have missed? Looking to save a lot of rework by finding a solution.  (Sorry if this is in the wrong area, not exactly sure where to put a Creo Illustrate question, a mod can feel free to move or message me where to remake the post if needed)

Hello All,We have a problem with the Ansys Simulation module in Creo 11.0.0.0. When we run the simulation with the default settings, it always shows the message: "Solve I Failed I 0% completed," even when running with a simple part, and then stops without showing any results.We had no such problem in Ansys Simulation when using Creo 10 on the same hardware. Why is this happening?Our hardware: Windows 11, 28 GB memory, AMD Epyc 7V12 (4 CPUs), 2.4GHz, and NVIDIA T4. Thanks in advance to anyone who may assist us solve this issue.

Team, Does anyone have a Mathcad Prime routine to calculate the unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind? Thanks,Glen Atlas, MD

I need to choose the minimum value of q depending on the layer thickness...If the layer thickness is =< 2m the q should be the minimum value of ( q;avg or 12MPa) if the layer thickness is > 2m q should be the minimum value of ( q;avg or 15MPa) I tried to do it this way, but it is not working.  Can you spot the mistake in this , please?Thanks in advanceYusra Prime 9 page 12

Hi, I created account to use the Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 8.0 as a private user for free but the app is asking me for a company proxy server settings. I have not a company. I would be just privet user. If not possible I would delete  my account.What I can do to use the free app?If not possible, how I can delete my account connected with my email "kacparek@wp.pl"? Thanks in advance

Hi allI am a student from Ghana, and I want to be able to access Mathcad's student version.Despite all my effort i have still not been able to reach the sales team to make the purchase

Odd problem but here you go. I have an assembly drawing. We publish using default HPGL/2 format. Everything in Creo View 9.1 looks fine except 1 sheet seems to have drawing extents that are off. In Creo Parametric 9 its fine. All other sheets are fine, D Size and when you view or Print to PDF, sheet 2 appears scaled down and not maximized to the paper size. Very odd.    When I've seen this in the past, its been due to a piece of geometry or sketched entity outside the field of the drawing border except we cannot find anything. Any other reason for this behavior? The drawing bounded boxes also appear inside the field of the drawing too.  Sheet 1 above normal. Sheet 2 below not normal  

I just noticed a strange behavior in CREO 10. In my model tree I selected a single part representing a volume (extruded feature). Within this part/volume I'm packaging other components. I want to see through this volume to see the other parts. So, I select this Volume (2nd art in model tree) click Edit Modal Appearances... and change the transparency setting to see-trough. What happens is another part (3rd item in modal tree) transparency also changes. I noticed this and wanted to turn off transparency. When I edit this part (3rd) whatever changes I make impacts the other part (2nd). Why are these two related for Appearances? How do I break this relationship? Mind you I am only selecting one part to apply transparency.

Hello, I would like to calculate the bolts, but I don't know exactly how to set the constraints.Should the thread also be designed? I'm hoping for a good idea. Designed with Creo 10.   

I am in the process of transferring thousands of Solidworks parts over to CREO 5 and trying to create a macro that sets material and converts to Sheet Metal for us.  So far so good with that, but in order to create the Flat Pattern as part of the Macro it requires a face to select as the correct Orientation.  I'd like to automate that as well if possible but the top face of the flat pattern could be different for each part, so I'm wondering if there is a way that at time of creating the Flat Pattern "Rep" the correct orientation could be saved as well?   In the Flat Pattern Preview window it automatically positions the view oriented towards the flat face, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to have it use that view and save it as a new Orientation.   For anyone helping me with this to understand what I am doing here, after the Flat Rep and correct orientation is created I then have a macro generate a new drawing (for Flat Pattern only) using a template th

Hey guys, Im currently testing a VBA Code from a college, that was written for Creo 4. In one part, it uses the method IpfcParameter.GetDriverType(). It worked fine in Creo 4, but now with Creo 10, it gives the Runtime Error '-2147352567 (80020009)': pfcExeptions::XToolkitObsoleteFunc. The method is still present in the VB API User’s Guide 10.0.0.0, so I dont know why it should be obsolete. Is there a workaround to get the value otherwise?

Softwear: Creo ParametricRelease: 7.0Version: 7.0.8.0Dimension ⇒ Tolerance “Plus - Minus” ⇒ Selecting None will automatically enter “-” for the lower limit.If the upper and lower limits of the drawing dimensions are both “+” (plus sign),it is easy to make a mistake, and even if a mistake is made, the small size of the symbol makes it difficult to find the mistake.It is not possible to set the Pro/TOOLKIT module to not enter “-” in the lower limit tolerance field by default, even in the Pro/TOOLKIT module.Therefore, I would like to be able to select whether “-” (minus sign) should be automatically or manually entered for the lower limit value.

I'm trying to assign a value for a new parameter called "AAA" using feature Name not feature ID. This code works wellAAA = b:8 But this code doesn't work with meAAA = b:fid_EXTRUDEerrorInvalid symbol 'b:FID_EXTRUDE' found. knowing that:1- the feature which is called "EXTRUDE" has ID=82- I'm working inside the part relations3- I'm using Creo Parametric 8.0.8.0

I have downloaded the PTC Control Center.msi file but when I go to execute it I get an error message. Error writing to file: c:\users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\PTC\Creo\ControlCenter\bootstrapper.exe The folder bath is created but that file does not exist? I am on Windows 10 Pro build 19045 on a MSI GE76 Raider with an Intel Core i7-1180H, 16GB memory and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. I have removed the PTC folder and tried a number of times and get the same failure.  

Hi How do I put units into a slider? Thank you

I know I'm working backwards, but such is life.  I have modeled a mold and now I need to create the casting that would fill the mold.  I'm not finding much help, on this process. Creo 10 Thanks

In models that use a lot of shrinkwrap, there is a considerable wait time when opening and operating files.Due to the assembly structure, it is not possible to completely eliminate shrinkwrap.I have attached a sample model, so I would appreciate your advice on improving the operation.The sample model is a simple one created for verification purposes. In the actual model, "opening a file" takes about 4 minutes, and other operations take even longer. Also, the operations in the question are only representative ones, and in reality there are many other operations.It would be even better if I could improve it by upgrading my PC's specs. Which parts of my PC should I upgrade? The graphics card, the memory?

HiI have an issue with the visualization of the dimensions in the drawings in Creo 11.0.2.0.The dimensions are not sharp like not perfectly in focus.I have attached one screenshot with the same drawing opened with Creo 7.0.2.0 (left) and Creo 11.0.2.0 (right). There is a big difference for me.I tried with another monitor with higher resolution and the result is the same.Any one can help me?  

Here is an example of a Simulate model with an integrated Mathcad-Prime (version 10). The static load in Simulate is taken from Mathcad.

I am a single use, so I do the sys. admin, but I'm not really that savy with it.  I have received my new license, but I don't have a clue as to how to load them.  I've searched high and low on PTC support, and here PTC community to no avail.  I've look through the files on my PC and nothing stands out as to how to load license files.   I'm running Windows 11. Please help, I'm dead in the water.
