I just got a hold of MCP10 and started playing around with the new Advanced Controls. It appears that these controls are using Microsoft's Jscript version 5.8.  This is semi-equivalent to JavaScript/ES3 which is 11 versions behind the current version.  There are a lot of missing features that are commonly used in modern JavaScript, and I would like to at least upgrade to ES6. I was able to add the methods for working with JSON using this code in the TextBoxEvent_Start function to download and execute the json3 polyfill...   var xhr = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){ if(xhr.readystate == 4){ eval(xhr.responseText) } } xhr.open("GET", "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/json3/3.3.2/json3.min.js"); xhr.send();   Tangent: Yes, I know eval() is evil, and this opens me up to security risks if cloudflare ever starts sending me something malicious instead of the json3 polyfill.  If anyone h

Hello! I am working on a project where a piping system is being modeled in Creo (v 8.0.3.0) and is desired to be analyzed (pipe stress analysis) in AutoPIPE (v 23.00.00.230). So far it looks like the best (if not only) way to take the working Creo model's piping geometry and plug it into AutoPIPE is via a Piping Configuration File (PCF), where (1) Creo is able to generate a PCF and (2) AutoPIPE is able to import that PCF .  So far I have been mainly been focusing on step (2) to make sure I know what information in the PCF can be interpreted/implemented in AutoPIPE, and have been able to identify a couple of additional inputs that I would like to have added to the PCF (as shown numbered in red below).I'm now going back to step (1) (Creo -> PCF), and I'm trying to figure out how I can incorporate these inputs into the piping that exists in the Creo model (if at all possible). I've tried looking through PTC documentation on how to change/edit information in the Piping Sp

Trying to post more.... I teach a wide variety of Creo classes and usually tell participants in class to try to run a mostly stock config.pro file as PTC does a good job with the defaults.  With that said our/your Creo administrators like to modify those configuration settings and get us accustomed to sometimes old ways often slower ways of doing things.  For example, It's simply slower to feel compelled to look straight on in a sketch 100 percent of the time.  Looking for a config.pro option to close dialog boxes. In Creo 9.0 the development team felt it necessary to make the dialog boxes automatically open for the user to fill in prompts. After all an open UI seems helpful.   In my effort to be open-minded, I've tried my best to use Creo with this new default.  I however find the dialog boxes open right where my model is + I use effective speed tips in Creo (that I teach - maybe a topic for a lunch-and-learn).  The dialog boxes open is A b

I can't seem to get TextAlign to work to centre the text in the textbox.  Any suggestions?  Also for vertical alignment please 🙂 Is there any documentation with all the implemented properties for all the new control objects?  Thanks,

I made a couple simple functions that I would like to share that helps with debugging of long Mathcad Prime (circa v9)  programs.  (file attached) I was making a VERY LONG convoluted program that called several sub-functions (in order to split it up).  But it still had bugs by the time it was fully grown (don't we all;). I made this function so that I could locate the errors before it happened.  It is basically a logger that lets the program continue.  It is better than a "return" statement in a few ways: Since there is no 'remarks' statement in programing, this can also be a substitute—they do not need to be removed (except for speeding up long iteration functions).You do not have to delete the "debug" functions in order to keep the program running and running to a proper conclusion whereas "return" statement must be added/removed every time it is needed."debug" functions do not screw up the output if it is in a sub-functionYou can display the d

Hi, I am still using Creo 4.0 M050. When making 2D drawings of a part, I usually specify a dimension tolerance as 'Plus-Minus' or as a 'Letter-Number' combination (like H6, G7, E8 ...).Sometimes I feel it is more appropriate to specify both. The nuisance is that Creo puts the Letter-Number combination (E8 in this case) always behind the Plus-Minus numbers.So, like this:But I would prefer that the E8 comes immediately behind the nominal dimension, and in front of the Plus-Minus. Like Diam 3E8 +0.05/+0.10.I couldn't find a way. Is this possible in Creo 4.0 ? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.5.0in Creo 10.0.5.0 when saving an assy as an iges (save-as), the iges does not shoe datums and points.Here are the errors that I facedn/a

Is there a way to use the Search tool to find all edges with a length greater than x?Example: I want to round a bunch of edges in my model, they are quite a few and tricky to select. If I could do a search and select all edges longer than 15. That would cover most if not all edges I want.Is this a thing in Creo Parametric?We are using Creo 7 here.

Hi, does anyone know if there is a list of configurations for Parametric's?I know the PTC help page, but I'm looking for something else.

Hello, Today i have a question about global structure and interractions between parts, assembly, bill of materials etc. Here is a view of my architecture :For creating new products, i design parts. These are assembled in assembly and for the master assembly i edit a bill of material with a repeat region in a table. Export in .csv, sort in Excel for buying standart parts, supply raw material, manufacture parts, send to subcontractor for some etc. For parts which i manufacture, i create a manufacturing assembly with a raw part. I create the machining program and a drawing for our machine shop. Now the questions :To manage the supplies i use my master bill of material (parts and components are sorted with parameters in the repeat region). but for the part i machine, i don't need the part itself but the raw part corresponding to this part. My problem, there is no link between these two. Currently I make the link manually but it's tedious when you have around thirty part

Hi there, I'm wondering what does the (i) represent in mathcad?  

Hello everyone,i want to program this in Mathcad. Could someone help me with this? 

I have just bought the mathcad student edition and never recieved the product code.

My laptop that had downloaded MATHCAD has broken and im trying to move my license over to my main PC, is there a way to do this without creating a new account?

Instead of simply stating the equation with its result how can I should break it down to show the specific values assigned to the variables and how they contribute to the final result. for example if I have p:=10 q:=20 I want to show r:= p+q=10+20=30 is this something i can do?

Hi everyone,I want to use two different vectors in one equation ...what should be the iterator f ,q and dz  I used length function but it gives me strange results    

Hello,My co-worker has installed a newer version of MathCAD, and I am now unable to access files that she has saved. I would like to update my version so it is compatible (but continue using MathCAD Express).I have tried using the website to request a new installer, twice in the last two days, but the promised email has never arrived (and yes I have checked my junk folder).Are you able to help me out?Cheers, Daniel

I created an assembly using skeleton and I want to create a mirrored copy. I tried to save as a copy but I think that due to the complexity, the result presents errors. I just want to save it as a mirror, but it could be as an IGES part. I'm saving an iges and opening the iges and mirroring it, but in Windchill this process is slow. Is there any more direct way to do this?

I just had a look at unanswered posts, and this was at the top of my list:   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Prime-9-Chart-Components-Can-Become-Corrupt/td-p/956950   I have been struggling through a file I created originally in Prime 9 that has 3 chart components. The first is a simple chart component with absolutely no modifications made to it, containing 24 curves. The second chart has 6 curves with customized legend, line styles, title, etc. The 3rd chart has 10 curves and all elements of the chart are customized heavily (chart title, legend, trace names, line type/color/thickness, axes names and tick mark font sizing on all elements, etc.). This 3rd chart continues to become corrupt after saving it - of course this is the one that needs to be published! NOTE - Prime 10 seems to be "behaving" so far - hopefully this has been addressed in this latest version. Stay on the lookout for this issue with your chart components using Prime 9!   I thought I'd play with Ch

Hello, I am exploring the piping option to use in our assemblies. Because we are working with a PLM system (Windchill), I need to embed the pipe pieces created with the piping option. Otherwise each little piece of pipe will get an article number in Windchill. What I would like to get is for the assembly that contains the embedded parts, to get a parameter: materialcode & length for each type of pipe used.Any other ideas are welcome as well. The moral of the story is: The pipes are embedded but I want to be able to extract the materialcode and length of each type used, regardless of the amount of pipe pieces.Are there possibilities here? All I can find is a little menu that can tell me the length of certain pipes and store it, but it's not extractable nor does it update.

Hi all, After an upgrade in a drawing template, where i updated/deleted some symbols, annotations and change fonts.But, it seems that an old fonts is still present, because i have the message "***.ttf.ndx is not loaded.But for me, the annotations/ symbol which used this one are deleted.How can i purge the drawing template for all the fonts unused?I tried the options upadte_drawing all, the delete unused symbols options but without success.How can i clean my drawings template for unused fonts? 

Hello all, I have a application which loads model into creo using ProMdlFiletypeLoad() and then I use a Macro using ProMacroLoad and ProMacroExecute. I have noticed that if my model is active in current window the ProMacroLoad does not work. It works only when there is no active model.  What could be the reason and How can I solve this?

Hi Guys,Can we add the "IP Address" in .ini format, which we used for the Creo View Watermark? Regards,Aj

Hello Team, I have around 50+ points defined on a surface in the assembly using Coordinate system. Now I want to pull them in the drawing directly in a table. and this table should be parametric. Do we have such an option? I have already tried Hole table options, but with this the points will not get automatically updated in the drawing once they are moved in the assembly. Please provide an alternate way to fix my problem. Right now to make the table parametric I manually add the dimensions for the point in the drawing, copy its symbolic name and paste it inside the cell with a prefix "&", but i have to do this for all the 50+ and for both X & Y dimensions.  

All, I recently bought MathCAD 10.00 Prime Student Edition and was unaware that once I logged into a certain machine with the license that it would lock in with that specific machine and I would be unable to log in on any other machine. I initially synced up a machine that I do not have consistent access to and I would like to move, or reset, or whatever needs to be done, to have the license that I purchased be activated/synced with the specific machine that I want. Was wondering if anyone could help. Best, - VG
