While creating a 2D drawing, how to achieve to have a default automated center line for oblong rectangle or hexagon

Creo Elements Direct Express won't open. Get the One Time Activation dialogue box then the proxy server dialogue box, then the request license dialogue box. Get the 72 hour activation code and enter it and it says it is invalid.  Anyone else having this issue??   Thanks,       

So a drawing that has been in our system for sometime has suddenly lost all the views on each sheet of the drawings. the views still appear on the drawing tree but on the page no view can be seen including dimensions and balloons. 

Is it possible to create a custom hole file (.hol) for holes that are only drilled, not tapped?  I'm trying to recreate a standard drill chart with our standard countersink sizes and hole callouts. For the life of me I cannot figure out if Creo will allow me to do this.  I have a number of custom threaded hole files but this one is an enigma. What I have so far is attached.  When I go to select a size from it, I just get a -1.000 for the diameter.  Remove the .txt if using the file.  Thanks..

Long ago when I created UDFs for various holes, I could put the corresponding tolerance with the hole.  When I showed my dimensions in the drawing, tolerances came over.   I'm creating some new .hol files now but can't seem to figure out where to include any hole tolerance.   Ex:  If I pick a .250 dia hole from the dropdown, what I'd like to see in the model is .250 +.005 / -.001. Obviously I can add a tolerance later, but having it stored would help standardize things for our users Creo 8.0.0.0 Thanks..

Hello dear Community,I am a student having worked with Autodesk Inventor for a while but i am switching for a future employment.When trying to make a threaded hole i select ISO as the thread type and M20x2.5 as the size but then it spits out sizes like 0.6890 for the inner hole diameter wich is propably in inches, but since everything is set to mm it tries to make a hole for the thread thats just 0.689mm in size.Screenshot is attached aswell i couldnt find any solution via google / this forum but maybe i was just blind, if you could give me an answer or point me to an already existing Answer i would greatly appreciate it.Software: Creo Parametric Education Edition (Version 10 i belive)

I recently made some CDF-Live Simulations and thought that the particle animation is really slow.It turns out, when dragging or rotating the part the animation is fluid.GPU = 3080 ti also happens with 2070 Super, and 1660 TI MobileDrivers - Newest and i also tried the latest WHQL driversWin 10 and 11 I checked the Monitor and found that Creo (once the object stands still) lowers the refresh rate to about 3-5 FPS, (usually wanted) , but it also happened when a particle animation is running. When dragging the model the refresh rate jumps to the usual 250+ and the animation is smooth. I attached a short Video demonstrating the effect (sorry for the music and outro, i tried some presets)I searched quite some time for a config Option, but i didn't find much related to refresh rate or CFD-Live.The few Commands i found didn't solve the issueMFG Raimund

HI,Could someone explain to me how to calculate the summation operator? I have attached a picture where you can see my formula. If I understand correctly, my condition formula should work like this: 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.5 = 1.5. However, Mathcad only gives 0.1. What am I doing wrong?

is there a way instead of writing all these qcza ( x ), I write just one variable that represents them all like  qcza;in and still get the same plot something like this   

Hi,Why is my answer unit not in Volts (V), and how can I change the unit? 

Would someone please tell me why when I enter unit for the vectors, it doesn't like it? I watched this video Assigning Units to Vectors and Matrices in Mathcad Prime (youtube.com) and that's what I'm doing. Thanks, 

Hi,         These curves are displayed best by using logarithmic axes.   The plot result should look like below: I am interested how to put that Rg/Ri on each graph.    

Is it possible in MathCAD to solve for a variable as I have shown in the snip?  I've tried different ways but cannot get it to work.  But I am also very new to this program. I want to solve for ΦVn.  I know my limiting capacity and the geometry of the weld to obtain the weld properties.   

I was wondering if the Creo View BOM read in parameters from creo parametric (version 10) assemblies and part files, so that the names, item descriptions e.t.c would match. As well as that I was wondering whether the BOM lists matched in terms of the ordering of items/parts, so that the parts appear in the same order in both Creo View BOM and Creo Parametric BOM.

A big hello to everyone here, I'm looking for a little program that receives as parameters only a square matrix of alphanumeric elements and a symbolic element to search in it. The program must return the row and column indices of the element searched. Is anyone able to make it? It seems simple to me. I thank very much whoever wants to do it.

I'm trying to use the "match" function and having a very ridiculous problem. If there is no match, the function returns error. Works fine if there is a match. This makes it useless. As best I can tell from the documentation the return should be "-1" if there is no match. What obvious thing am I missing? 

Hello all, I am trying to assign apperance to creo assembly or part using toolkit. Can someone let me know how can I assign apperance and also define the RGB value for appearance? TIA

Hi,I'm using Creo Parametric 6.0.5.1.Is it possible to have different system colors for modelling and drawing environment?In modelling environment, when I enable a section view, the contour lines of the part in the section plane are yellow. I can change this in options -> System appearance -> Letter, but then all text, dimensions and tables in the drawing environment are changed as well. I would like to have different "letter" color for the modelling and drafting environments. Is this possible, or is there another way? My workaround is to have mapkeys to quickly change the letter color to black and yellow, but it feels kind of impractical. Thanks in advance.K  

Hi fellowsWe are using Creo Parametrics 8.xxx, Standard configuration metric, ISO. And we are creating our own tables for company standard holes. Question:Is there an option, to feed the hole feature with values out of the tables, to show a fractional number instead of a decimal number.Example:Rp 1/8 is the pipe thread 1/8" for holes with inner threads, If I select this threaded hole from the table in the dimension text menu it looks like: In the existing tables the value 9.73 is included and presented in the model or drawing with prefix Ø.The value 9.73 is the correct dimension, but I like to show the value 1/8 because this represents in combination with the prefix the right size of the threading tool .In the same time, the Prefix Rp should be written automatically to the prefix field of the hole feature's menu. Same as Ø for standard holes or M for ISO threads.Up to now we made this work around: But I don't like to manually entering such text into the dimension text me

I'm trying to roll Creo View out to some pople within our company but don't want to without getting a few things ironed out. One being the publisher. Why does every job with the publisher fail! Has anyone got a way around this? Number 2 see attached, CYS and planes show up when opening Creo View out of both Windchill and ThingWorx. Anyone have a solution for this?

Hello, I would like to ask questions about the Creo toolkit. Currently, I need to use the Arc operation on the toolkit at work. This operation will require the input of relevant parameters, such as origin, start_angle, end_angle, radius. What I want to ask about is start_angle and end_angle. For the definition of the two parameters, please read the relevant documents. The above description is as follows: start_angle: Angular parameter of the starting point,end_angle:Angular parameter of the ending point,I would like to ask if you can provide more detailed explanations or examples, such as whether the value of this angle belongs to "degree" or "radian"? And from which point does the calculation of this angle start and end? The above   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate   你好, 想請問 Creo toolkit 相關問題, 目前在工作上需要在 toolkit 上使用到 Arc 的操作, 該操作會需要輸入相關參數, 像是origin、start_angle、end_angle, radius. 想詢問的是 start_angle 以及 end_angle 這兩項參數的定義, 有翻閱相關文件, 上面的說明如下start_angle:
