We noticed that after moving from CREO 4 to CREO 9 (9.0.7.0), the behavior in the drawing when inserting symbols from the symbol palette changed.In the older version (CREO 4), when inserting a symbol from the palette, the system directly asked for a variable (if the symbol contained a variable), the user either wrote the variable or confirmed the preset value defined in the symbol.For example, when inserting the roughness symbol Ra, it could be written immediately upon insertion as, for example, 0.8 (while the preset value in my symbol is 3.2). In CREO 9, a variable cannot be written when inserting a symbol. The symbol is inserted and only then can the variable be overwritten via editing "Symbol Customization" command inside Symbol ribbon. It slows down the work terribly. Is there config option so that the symbol immediately prompts for the variable as before?? 

I got a license for MATCAD Prime from my school (HTL Spengergasse, Vienna) but I have a big problem. I have redeemed the MATCAD license too often and on too many different devices - Today I wanted to download MATCAD Prime on my work device and redeem the license because I need the program for today's math class, but now I get an error message that goes something like this: "You have redeemed the license too often and reached the limit, if you have any further questions contact PTC Support". I then did some research and found out that you have to deactivate the license on the other devices so that you can redeem the license on the new device again, but that's the problem: I redeemed the MATCAD Prime license on my Macbook Air m2 in a virtual machine that no longer exists - so I can no longer deactivate the license. I therefore wanted to ask customer support whether they would allow me to redeem my license again, it is a very urgent matter.   Translated by the moderation using Google

 I mistakenly attached a photo with a wrong extension to my MathCAD file. Now, it's not opening the wrong extension is .1 instead of .jpg The version is Prime 7.0.0.0 I will appreciate a lot if you could help me recover the file even if it will be just the texts and equations!

Is it possible to break the dependency of a mirrored part? I am wanting to mirror parts with geometry dependent initially so any changes are pushed to the mirrored part, to save time, as the majority of changes will apply to both parts. However, sometimes we need to make changes to one of the parts but not it's mirror. Can this be accomplished by undoing the "geometry dependent" setting somehow? Attached are some screenshots of the options/settings I'm seeing when creating the mirror and then when editing definition of the mirrored bodies feature.  I am using Creo 8. Thanks!-Matt

How do you get back the classic nc step/sequences? ThanksMike

Hello all,   is it possible to set search function to search thrue all subdirectoriers? (Creo 2.0 M200) Don´t need permanent settings --> something like "now search thrue all" ,when l realy need it... We don´t use Windchill and any other PDM   Thanks for any help Milan Bonka

Hi all, is there any ways to import the data from excel into the Mathcad table? Data in excel table Data in Mathcad Table Thank you for your help! *i'm using MathCad Prime 10.0.0.0

I need a description of what Creo Essentials Lite contains. Could you please help me?

    This message appeared out of a sudden, I don't have any backups alternative to this file as that may cause an absolute failure for my diploma work. Please, HELP ME! I can't really endure the loss. 

Hey guys, for example if i have a part with 7 bodys, can i split it to an assembly with 7 parts? That means only 1 body in every part. THX,John

PTC provided multi-body concepts from Creo Parametric 7.0 and it looks more like Catia's multi-body strategy than SW or NX, but other behaviours looks like SW/NX such as operating boolean or fillet, chamfer, e.g.Catia: 1.1. All features not only boolean operatings can only be applied on actived part-body;1.2. Part-body needs to be created before any features founded in Catia, more than 1 splitting solid can be contained in each part-body.SW & NX: 2.1. Creat boolean operatings and then choose which body we wanna apply, other features can be directely applied on the body without active(None active concept to be exact) ;2.2. Automatically creat 1 body per splitting solid that we can't choose how many splitting solids 1 body can hold.Creo: 3.1. Creat boolean operatings and then choose which body we wanna apply, other features can be directely applied on the body without active(None active concept to be exact) ;3.2. Part-body can be created before or after any features fo

Hello All,I have a large 3D scan that I am working with, and trying to build a basic skeleton structure around it. So creating a few sketches and datum features (planes & axis). Now here is the issue. If I redefine any of those features, any reference to the scan has a "frozen reference" note in front of the reference/feature name (see attached image). Been using Creo (Pro/E) for over 30 years and I have never seen anything like this. If the reference was missing, I would get it. But it's not missing. What gives? Not sure how to fix this.BTW, using Creo 10 TIA, Victor

I want to connect this corner vertex to this sketch line.  The coincident constraint won't let me connect them.  They are in different sketches and on different planes if that matters.

Using CREO 6, it was easy to route a cable by selecting an axis for "from" and the ending axis as "to" after selecting "Allow Location" under "Options."  However, as new user to CREO 8, I am unable to select any axes and have to use a coordinate system instead--usually not as convenient.  Is there a way to use an axis for routing in CREO 8?

These sketch lines are only displayed when they are clicked on in the feature tree.  How can I get them to display in the model so that they can be used as reference geometry?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0In older versions we could set the active model in a multi model drawing and then select a symbol that was all ready placed on the drawing. It would open and close using the active model information to file in custom symbol parameters. This functionality appears to have been lost.

Hi all, does anyone knows why there's 'i' in the results of the last equation?Regards,

Hello, I am currently building a VBA application to automate a few things in my creo daily workflow and unfortunately I am stuck because I am not able to retrieve a model type variable from a componente type feature variable. I am thinking about model descriptors. I can create it but I am struggling trying assign it to the model. The idea is to reach the model by reading the model descriptor present in the correspondent feature variable. thank you in advance! 

Whenever I define a range variable and then try to do some matrix operations on it (like finding its length, max/min and transpose...) Mathcad responds with an error saying the operation can all be done on a vector or array. How do I convert my range variable into an array?Version: Mathcad Prime 10

Hi all! Trying to replicate this wave design in Creo (currently using 4.0) but having some issues... Thought the easiest way would be to divide the wave in 4-5 sections and use boundary blend to merge sketches of the waves profile in the sections. (Then thickening the surface to make it a solid.) But the sharpest top of the waves doesn't behave the way I want. I've tried using the "control points" option in the boundary blend tool to control the shape, but I'm far from happy. Before going down the rabbit hole of adjusting the control points until I get something remotely resembling the wave, I thought I'd seek out some help from better users than me to see if this is the way to go or not. Or if it's even possible to make such a design in Creo.TLDR: Trying to replicate this (or similar) wave design. What's the easiest way of doing that? Cheers!Wave inspiration 1Wave inspiration 2Wave sectionsWave boundary blendWave boundary blend with control points

Is there any way to set default unit outputs. I'd like it to read Kip*Ft. I've seen people complain about this issue in the past but cant seem to find a solution. I've attached a portion of the sheet. 

I want to be able to import drawings made in other software. 

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0, 7.0.2.0,At drawing application, when using "Show model Annotations" in order to bring out specific dimensions from the CAD model, for example, a 3D annotation derived from a datum plane (the dimension in question is the offset dimension from a datum plane to another datum plane in order to create it), it's shown correctly on a particular drawing view, but if the datum plane on the drawing view is hiden using layers, the dimension it's also gone, leaving only a suppressed dimension on the drawing tree. If the view is manually updated, the dimension is back, but if using "Draft Update", the dimension is gone again. The dimension it's left in a status of showing but then gone if the drawing is updated. Apparently CREO consider the dimension also a datum plane.Thanks for any advise.

I have schematics design created in Creo schematics 8.0. Some connectors are located on sheet 1 and some are on sheet 2. Wires are connected between this connectors using highway.I have more than 3 sheets in this design and want to export selected components from two sheets in one xml. While exporting this design if i select "Selected",  components from active sheet only gets exported although i have selected components from second sheet also.I want components from both sheets in one xml but dont want to use "Export complete design" option. Is their any other way to do that ? Or is it Creo schematics issue ?

The Mac Address in my License Files are all false, none of mine are the same as the ones in the files.I never changed anything about my machine, it's the exact same for 3 years now. Am I missing something? How can I request a correct or new File?
