Current version: Windchill 12.1 with Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.7 When using CED Modeling in combination with Windchill, it is possible to show Windchill attributes in the structure browser through structure browser views. It would be great to have these attributes also shown in the tooltip when hovering over a component (instead of showing the structure browser path of the selected component) in order to have more clarity/information when navigating the viewport.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.3.0Subject: Creo 12.4 + Windchill: J-Link Model.Rename() always returns XToolkitCantModifyWe are migrating a Java J-Link workflow from Creo 6 to Creo 12.4 in a Windchill-linked environment.In Creo 12.4, Model.Rename(newName, false) fails consistently with XToolkitCantModify for both .asm and .drw.Isolated test (minimal):1. RetrieveModelWithOpts() on MAC_NEXTAIR_2.ASM and MAC_NEXTAIR_2.DRW2. CheckIsModifiable(false) => true3. CheckIsSaveAllowed(false) => true4. Model.Rename(...) => XToolkitCantModifyManual rename from Creo UI (same environment) works.We reviewed CS419079 / CS419066 about read-only policy since Creo 10, but our case is unclear because modifiable/save-allowed are true while J-Link rename still fails.Please confirm:1. Is J-Link Model.Rename() supported for Windchill-managed models in Creo 12.4?2. Is checkout mandatory for rename in this context?3. Is there a known difference between UI rename and J-Link rena

How can the default on drilled holes be changed to 140°?  While 118° may be standard for a lot of drills, almost all of our drills Ø3/8 and up to Ø1-1/4" are 140° inserted tips.  As a Creo NC user, I change models all the time sent to me by Engineering that have holes put in at 118°, just to match the drill that I will actually be using.

Can someone let me know the steps to create curves/splines from CSV Ai file?SEE Attach.It's AMAZING how fast Ai is catching up with human mind. PTC need deeper thinking… hahahaNEED TO BE ONE STEP UP!Creative Creo!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.9.0How to create drawing template in HMX. Is there any option to apply sort and filter in data tables generated by HMX. After generating flattened harness drawing how to change orientation of connector.

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.1.0The attached file crashes every time I change 'k'.Here are the errors that I facedNo warning. It just shuts itself down.

I just had Creo 10.0.7.0 crash. Thankfully I was no longer in any models at the time of the crash. Just starting to open a file. When I restarted Creo, all the “Recent” files are not from today - I had just seen them and chose one when the crash occurred. Any thoughts?

Hello,I have tried to upload the mathcad file, but it does not allow me. The following was working in mathcad 15, but it does not evaluate in prime Thanks,Sam

We normally retrieve hole features from part files using Solid.ListFeaturesByType(false, (int)EpfcFeatureType.EpfcFEATTYPE_HOLE). However, this code doesn’t work for certain ISK part files and returns a null group value. Please explain, why the part file is returning a null group value?

I’m currently using Creo 4 to test interference detection through VBAPI in C#. When I try to run the same code in Creo 11, the application launches and the working directory is set successfully, but I receive a 'pfcExceptions::XToolkitInvalidName' error at the line session.OpenFile(modelDesc1).Activate(); One more question: Does Creo 11 support rotating and zooming the assembly to capture the interference location?

Now that the Community is back… I wanted to share a cool statistic. CREOSON - the Open Source API for Creo Parametric has achieved over 10,000 Downloads! 🎉 You can learn more about it, and download it, at https://creoson.comNOTE: A lot of time, energy, and cool people have been working on this for many years.😎 Hat Tip to the CREPYSON Project for their awesome contributions!

Hi all,For our assemblies, we add a BoM table to the drawing. These were setup a while ago, and we have a few different tables saved for different purposes. The main one is a simple table with a repeat region as followsThis works fine for most of the parts, but it doesn’t allow us to define a different part number other than the one defined in Windchill. If we were starting again with our installation, we would probably add a relation in the start part against a parameter such as ‘BOM_PART_NUMBER’ which defaulted to the Windchill part number but could be changed by the user. This parameter would then be what is defined in the repeat region.However, we now have many thousand parts and none of them have this parameter, and so we cannot change the part number in the BoM without changing the file name of the part.Having done some research, it looks like relations can be added to the repeat region, and so a conditional statement can be added. Descriptively, what I had in mind is that if the

I am using Creo 10, When I go to Creo Simulation Live and click on “Study”, the “include thermal” option is grayed out.  I am trying to perform a multi-physics analysis to determine the effects of thermal expansion.  I found a video by PTC that is exactly what I need to do, but I can’t select the “include thermal”.   This video is for Creo 9, so I would think Creo 10 has the same capability.  The option is there but just grayed out.

Hi there,I am having difficulty identifying spot weld symbols and holes in the drawing.I attempted to modify the datum point symbols to circles through the detailing file and also tried filling the circles. However, this approach is time-consuming, and I am unable to select all spot welds at once.Is there a way to streamline this process?

Hello!A new year and a new crash unfortunately.I was working with this document and saved it. The next day when opening it i just get "The file type is not supported".Can it be recovered? Would help alot 🙂I attached the failing document and a log fileKind regards, TomPrime;7.0;FileNotSupported;Crash;MathcadPrime

Document with corrections, there was an error in the Mathcad formula.

Anyone try to define a BSP or BSPT thread in Creo? Do we try custom tools or maybe define it as a tapered mill? Even without any check surfaces the tap I defined will not go past the start surface.

Hi Folks,Is there a way to customize/tailor the Bill of Materials report in assembly mode so that the headers can be specified as parameters?  For example, instead of the default column header 'Name' I would like it to be 'Title'.  I would also like to create additional column headers. Thank you. 

Hi there, I'm receiving the error "file type not supported" when trying to open an old mathcad file. I've attached the file, could you please assist. 

I’ve found an alternative to expensive post processors for Creo. I’ve been testing ManusNC and it’s pretty good. Easy to develop your own post processor for any machine tool and supports Creo NC. Check it out;https://manusnc.com/enFor a five axis post it cost $1500 without a need for yearly subscription. Hundreds of premade posts ready to go. Simple web interface to create a post. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.3.0; in a single view, the hatch of a section is not completely shown. In a different view with the same charatheristics, the hatch is correctly shown.

I am currently running the trial version of Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0 (I think only a few days left) to evaluate its capabilities for solving multiple equations with multiple unknowns. I want to verify that it will produce the results that I need before purchasing the software.  I have run into a problem getting Mathcad to solve the system equations symbolically. I have looked around the internet for community information on this aspect of Mathcad but have not found anything that addresses my specific topic. The problem to which is seek a solution arises when modeling the impact between two bodies. Using the impulse-momentum formulation of Newton's 2nd law gives me 6 equations and six unknowns with a point mass (no rotational inertia) impacting a point mass. I put this system into Mathcad and used the solve feature and it produced the desired result. My file is attached. You will see that I took the solution equations Mathcad produced and ported them over to calculate the numeri

Hello, I want to perform a forced conversion of Assembly to WAssembly in the asynchronous invocation mode. Currently, I am relying on the pfcasync.jar. I noticed that there is no WAssembly in it.

Mathcad Prime 10 A few years ago, I found this great Mathcad wrapper (GitHub - usnistgov/REFPROP-wrappers: Wrappers around NIST REFPROP for languages such as Python, MATLAB, etc.) for NIST REFPROP 10 where I can call properties using a script.  This has been a game changer for me.  The issue is that not all fluids that I need are available to me, (DMAc or MMA for example) in REFPROP.Does anyone know of a DIPPR/Diadem Mathcad wrapper out there that works well? Thanks

Hi, I have been trying to get this non-linear gear dynamics system of ODE's to solve but for the life of me cannot seem to correct the errors.The attached sheet has several attempts at the end to write the equations and initial conditions in different formats but all give "too few initial conditions" or a"floating point error". Like most programming errors its probably glaringly simple!Any assistance would be appreciated.Regards,Ross
