Creo Parametric 2.0   I am trying to reuse the explode states I defined in my sub assemblies when exploding the top level assy.  I thought there was a way to do so, but I can't remember how or I'm mistaken.  I may be thinking of style states.  A year away from Creo has taken its toll on my memory of some functions.   Thanks.   (Interestingly, when searching I discovered that I had asked this before, almost 10 years ago, evidently with no response. That or the response was lost in one of the great community migrations of old. 😁)

Hello,I finally managed to install and run PTC Mathcad Prime 12 after solving multiple installation issues.At first, the application would not start at all and crashed with the following error in Event Viewer:"Cannot locate resource 'worksheetresources.xaml'"The issue was related to the Windows display language. After changing Windows from Polish to English and reinstalling Mathcad, the application now starts correctly.However, I now have a licensing problem.When I try to activate the 30-day trial, the License Wizard first showed several "Server Error" messages. After multiple attempts, I now receive this error:"You have reached the maximum number of license requests available for your product type."As a result, Mathcad only works in Express mode and I cannot activate the trial license.Could someone from PTC please:reset my trial activation limit, assign a trial license to my account, or provide manual activation instructions?I would really appreciate any help.Thank you.

Hi  I have issues trying to plot the Moment and Shear Force diagram of the following case. Any help is highly appreciated! 🙂  

I am using Creo Schematics Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.0.0 When I save a schematic the software closes and saves. The workgroup manager stays open but I cannot reopen the schematic drawing unless I close the workgroup manager and restart from scratch.

One of the things that has always been a feature of these forums is the willingness of experienced users to provide help and guidance to others.  In addition to help with how to use the Mathcad software the forums provide a place to gain advice and assistance with dealing with engineering challenges, problems that go beyond the simple application of the software to understanding the basic physics of a situation. One remaining impediment to this  feature is the inability of Prime to save a file in an earlier version of Prime; a file asking a question in Prime 10 can be read in Prime 11 or 12 but if this file is modified and saved by a later version and posted as a reply it cannot be opened unless you have a more current version of the software. This is a great marketing tool--”Here’s your answer.  To view it you must buy the latest version of the software!”   But it’s a lousy way to share information.  The forum is littered with requests to modify a file to enable a specific version to

Hi, I would like to export automatically generated rigid bodies from CREO Mechanism.

Thanks for the new option to customize the range of page numbering in Header/Footer, very useful when assembly a bigger document with several worksheets.Question 1: is it possible to link the page numbering to a running variable that keeps track of the overall numbering?I mean, first worksheet have 5 pages, then second worksheet starts on page number 6 until number of pages, then third worksheet starts on next page number after worksheet 2, etc.Question 2: does it exists a variable which provides the total number of pages of the current worksheet?

Up through Mathcad 15 it was possible to make a nice-looking parallel operator using the infix notation. It would be very helpful to make it work in Prime. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 3.0 and DatecodeF000 We need creo 3.0 Setup , because our machine support creo 3 only, kindly give setup file for creo3.0

Hello,I am trying to install PTC Mathcad Prime 12 trial, but the application does not start.After installation, nothing happens when I launch it. In Event Viewer I get the following error:System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException:Cannot locate resource "worksheetresources.xaml"I have already tried:reinstalling multiple times (clean uninstall + removing all PTC folders) installing .NET Desktop Runtime 8 installing WebView2 disabling antivirus using a different network (hotspot)The installer I used is "pim_installmgr_mathcad".It looks like the installer does not download all required files.Could someone provide a full offline installer or suggest a fix?Thank you.

Hello, I  have been a paid user continuously since Version 1 back in the 80’s. In some important ways, Prime is still clunkier than earlier versions. I find I have to leave the keyboard, grab the mouse do some clicking on the document and then resume typing  to add every new region.I generally like to create my documents in two columns: equations in one, and text describing them right beside, but nicely aligned. In the old days you could type an equation, press a key (possibly it was Tab) and it would skip right and you could start typing text. Another key (return??) would take you to beginning of a new line and you could continue.  These days Tab only moves you to the next existing equation or document top, except it doesn’t even do that  if you are in a text region.How can you exit a text region and get over to the beginning of the next row without grabbing the mouse.  That is a lot of down and left arrows to press?What I would like isan easy keystroke to leave an region and go to th

It is said that in order to run PTC Mathcad Prime, you must have the latest Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.x package for Windows x64 installed on your computer. At the same time .NET 8 end of life (EOL) is November 10, 2026 – after this date, Microsoft issues no further security patches or bug fixes. EOL means real risk: unpatched vulnerabilities, compliance failures... Am I missing something? It seems rather serious. It looks as if I have to skip the latest version. Does Mathcad Prime v12 work with .NET 10?

We have been asking from Prime 9 for the possibility to have variables in Header/Footer to be able to include information like project number, name, document number, revision index etc. which are read from the excel file where all the input values are located.I mean, at the beginning of the worksheet, we have a collapsible area where we read an excel file containing the input values to be processed, including project name, number etc. but that general information is to be used in the header/footer of the workseet.Has this possibility been included in Prime 12?  Or do need to continue waiting for it?P.S.: thanks for the new option header/footer different on page 1!  That was also needed.

Is it possible to edit the Functions tab on the Ribbon to add additional functions, such as Piecewise Continuous?

Since the beginning of Mathcad Prime, PTC has snubbed loyal users by providing a subprime legacy file converter.  It can take hours of work to tweak a converted file to get it to match the original, and you need to have a working installation of Mathcad 15 to ensure that the converted file works as intended.  When are we going to get the proper file converter that we deserve?

I can’t find the way to join the event!

Hi everyone,I am looking for an API for "copy geometry" command and "intersect" command in toolkit.If its there can you help me with that.

I know there are multiple ways to define routing in PTC Creo Cabling, and I would like to clarify the correct approach.I currently have a cable routed from one connector (P1) to another connector (P2). This cable carries VCC power, so I need to branch off this line at some point and route it to an additional connector.What is the correct method to create this kind of branch, especially considering that I will later create a flatten harness for documentation?Here is what I have tried so far:I used a physical splice component to create the split. However, when I create the flatten harness, the splice appears disconnected or “floating.” I also tried adding a location on the cable and routing a new cable from that location to another connector. In this case, Creo reports the cable as incomplete.What is the recommended best practice for:Creating a branch from an existing cable Ensuring proper connectivity Getting a correct and clean flatten harness outputAny guidance or recommended workflow

I purchased and installed Mathcad Prime 12. However, I now understand that, because I am using a Dutch Windows 11 OS, Mathcad does not start. First of all, I find it unbelievable that PTC does not mention this very clearly beforehand, but that you are only confronted with this after purchasing. What really makes matters worse is that, although you start from and with the English website, you are redirected during the installation process to a Korean website, which is unreadable. So now I am stuck with a Mathcad version that I paid for and for which the 1-year period has already started, but which I cannot use. I would like this situation to be resolved ASAP.

Hi Team,Looking for suggestions. We have limited Creo Parametric licenses (PROE_DesignAdvP T3 and PROE_DesignAdv T2). Is it possible to control license selection via the Creo launch .bat file so it checks FlexNet availability and automatically switches to the next available license if the preferred one is fully consumed?I’ve tried using lmutil lmstat in the batch file to check license usage. it checks the license count then close the launcher bat. i tried different codes but it is still bypassing the license count check. Please advise if this approach is supported or if there’s a recommended method.I included this block in my bat file.!--scriptorstartfragment-->SET LMUTIL="C:\ptc\Creo 10.0.8.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\obj\lmutil.exe"SET LICENSE_SERVER=7788@license01.au.lmco.com "%LMUTIL%" lmstat -f PROE_DesignAdv -c %LICENSE_SERVER% > "%TEMP%\lmstat_pro.txt" 2>&1 FINDSTR /I /C:"Licensed number of users already reached" "%TEMP%\lmstat_pro.txt" >nul ^&& (    ECHO -
