I have installed the Creo Elements Direct Manager Server. All functions are working properly. However, despite having a license, the web interface is giving an error. I believe it's using a Jetty server. There might be something missing or incorrect. I would appreciate any help on this matter. 

Hello all,   I have a assembly which is checked in. When I try to modify it I end up having a conflict box asking me to check out or continue. I want to avoid this conflict box avoiding and set default value as continue. I used dm_checkout_on_the_fly and set it to continue but noticed it just the continue is set just in conflict box as default but did not get applied I have to select okay eveytime. Is there any option by which I can apply value as continue instead of setting default value in conflict box.   TIA

Hi,I am trying to create a motion skeleton that will move a part based on a cam type profile.I need help defining the connection circled so it stays on the curve when the "cam" moves side to side.I do not want to model solids, I just want it to be based off a sketch.Thanks for any guidance or help.

I am part of the Mott MacDonald IT team.We are in the process of transitioning to MathCAD Prime 10, as we have been informed that MathCAD 15 and MathCAD Prime 8 are reaching their end of life and will no longer be supported.Could you please provide more information on the support lifecycle of these products? This will help us proceed with the removal of the older versions of MathCAD and MathCAD Prime.Thank you.

Hi guys,   to add notes in drawing i am copying text from excel, then pasting it using unattached note. i want to save my custom notes in different names under Insert filed option. to optimize the process.   Is it possible to add custom note under insert filed option. kindly help me on this, if there are any other better option please guide me.  

Does anyone know of a more simple equation to derive the max moment of a simply supported beam. I have 12 equally spaced loads with the first and last being spaced further from the support than the typical spacing. Exterior loads are different from the interior. Heres some pictures of what im working with. The BMD diagram is my check for the moment of the HL93 Inv Loads. I've done this before when only working with a couple concentrated loads but the formula would be to long for this. Would also like to be able to check the moment at any location along the beam    

Hi all,   I would like to know if it is possible to pilot the options list in the variant builder from Option model.   In the variant builder, there is an option list: Each value pilot the view or the hidden af a sub-assembly, or a set of components. Where each choices is stored in CREO? In the pro program, in parameters?   Is someone know if it is possible to pilot them (with toolkit or SmartAssembly)Regards  

I wanted to install Mathcad Prime 4 to my new pc.The license manager accepted my product key but I can't chose the product for the license.

Hello @PARTHIBAN_K,A very nice in-depth explanation indeed. I am facing some issues with creating 2D shell pairs for my assembly due to surfaces and / or some components within the assembly overlapping each other. Because of thus, I can not use "review geometry" feature too as it gives errors. Could you please help me out and guide me with solving these errors? Do I need the model to be remade where the components of its surfaces do not overlap each other? Or can I use some other way to mesh like "thin solid"? Please guide. Thanks in advance 🙂   Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Analysis/Shell-Idealization-Over-the-Solid-Model-in-Geometric-Element/m-p/446841#M1377

I am using Smart BOM, my company requires that if there is an ALTERNATE (or SUBSTUTUTE) part, the new "ALTN" part need to have the same FIND NO with the main part .  For example: Main part is "ABCD" and FIND is currently 6, above FN6 is FN7 with part # "AFGK"I need to add new part "xyzk" as ALTN to FN6, it will have the same FN 6 as the main part and sit in between FN6 and FN7. In the next message, I will tell about how I make it but it still NOT working as we want. JUst tell the community what I already tried to make it. We are using Creo 7But if newer Creo can make it, we can change to new version.  Thank You

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 ?

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
