Hello, I am trying to perform operation on a part in an assembly using Creo toolkit. I want to know if there is a method first to activate the part in assembly then perform operation on feature present in that part. I want to perform operation like importing features or setting the parameter value in the part. TIA

I'm experiencing significant issues connecting Creo Parametric with Visual Studio. Currently, I'm referring to the "Creo Object Toolkit C++ Release Notes" for guidance, but I'm encountering numerous errors. Could you provide a step-by-step guide on how to properly connect Creo and Visual Studio?Thank you.

when i do some multi-objective parameter optimization cases in mathcad,i find that there are only three algorithms that can be used，L-M，Conjugate gradient method and Quasi-Newton method. these methods may can't find the global optimum,or take very long time.nowadays,there are many other algorithms,such as GA(Genetic Algorithm),it may solve these problems easily.but my mathematics is poor，can any body do it,or has anybody done that?i want to have a try,but my methematics is poor,at the same time,i am not proficient in programming.wish for your help.

Hello, I am having an issue resolving a "unitless value assignment for symbol 'D22' error. I am using Creo 7. The part is a helical sweep to create a spring. The pitch of the spring is defined using parameters. The pitch is a calculated value from the parameter "LENGTH" and "NUMBER_OF_TURNS". I have applied units in the parameters window to "LENGTH", but it has not resolved the error.   I have also tried defining the dimension directly in the relations window, but that also does not resolve the issue. Any ideas as to why this might be? Thank you,John

It would be good if you could change the orientation in the Edit reference table window

Hi all hopefully a simple question, but i cant seem to find the answer.i have a simple contact static analysis setup to analyse the contact forces and stress in my designed snap fits on a plastic part retaining a pcb.it is my understanding that i should use the include snap through option in this analysis because running it without it and 10 equally spaced time steps throws a warning about excessive sliding at timestep 7, and causes it to run indefinitely seemingly*** Warning: Excessive displacement detected at contact regions.   Recovery will be attempted by reducing time step size.   Better convergence of the nonlinear solution may be achieved if   you redefine your analysis with smaller time steps .** Warning:           Complete sliding was detected at one or more contacts           in your model. This can cause excessive motion and/or           poor convergence. P

Upgrade to 14.0Originally in 2019 I still installed the 64-bit version.My Mathcad stopped working after installing Windows 11.Mathcad 14.0 is an outdated version (2014) and, it seems, can no longer be recorded using today's licensing process.Please send me a valid license file.dat.Kind regards,Beat Eichenbergerbeat.eichenbgr@bluewin.ch---------------------------------------------Translated text from German to English using google translateSubject - Lizenz ProblemBody - Upgrade auf 14.0 Ursprünglich 2019 habe ich noch die 64bit Version installiert. Mein Mathcad funktionierte nach der Installation von Windows 11 nicht mehr. Mathcad 14.0 ist eine veraltete Version (2014), und ist, wie es scheint, mit dem heutigen Lizenzverfahren nicht mehr erfassbar. Senden Sie mir bitte eine gültige Lizenzdatei.dat. Freundliche Grüsse, Beat Eichenberger beat.eichenbgr@bluewin.ch - By Community Moderation Team--------------------------------------------- 

I am trying to find a list of the special characters that are actually supported for notes in Creo (i.e. they don't appear as an empty box in the note). There are many times where I need to flag parts in a drawing with a special character like "▼" or "★".  The problem is Creo doesn't seem to fully support ASCII, HTML, or Unicode character sets so the only way to find the characters that work is by trial and error. Does anyone know of a complete list of the charters that will actual render in a note?

I just upgraded to 20.6.0.0.0.  Every time I load from Model Manager or from a local drive, Modeling does a part check.   I have assemblies with thousands of parts and this really takes a long time.  Is there a way of turning off the part check at load?   This is really not necessary since I create and saved the files and know they are good.  I manually run part checks when I think they are required.   Tom  

Hi I'm missing lines on my 2d drawing. Is it possible to "update" all views   

 

 I am working on cap and housing snap fit. I want to increase the length of the cap by 20mm. With this change, I want to have a robust fit between cap and housing with a consideration that the removal force is less than 25N. Does increasing the number of highlighted feature in the first image from 2 to 3 help? Any other suggestions are welcome. I am attaching the cap and housing files with a hope to get help from the community. 

is it possible to have different constraint sets for different simplified reps i have found a couple similar threads but they are all using it as a subassembly. such as this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHPnkSguUQE

Hi,I am attempting to create a program that will autogenerate several MathCAD file templates based on variables that will be taken from an excel sheet that contains a list of parts.  I am using MathCAD Prime 9.0 Some things I've looked into are using the API or changing the XML data directly.  The API doesn't seem to support a way to add in new inputs and outputs to a blank worksheet. Changing the XML data directly seems like it could be a good option. From other posts I've read it sounds like you can change the file extension to a zip, unzip the file, change some data in one of the files, then rezip and change the extension back. However when I have tried this the process of unzipping and rezipping changes how it is compressed which causes it to be unreadable by mathcad, even if I don't change any of the internal files. Is there a way I can inputs and outputs to a blank worksheet with the API that I am missing? Is there a way to unzip and rezip the m

Hello all,We have a dozen legacy custom hole charts (Counterbore, countersink, UNF Pattern, UNF Single, etc.) that we would like to replace with three new charts by utilizing the "Setting Thread Note Format Based on Hole Feature Characteristics" as laid out here: Thread Notes. I don't know the history on why they were setup this way, but now we are trying to streamline.The issue is, if we remove the legacy hole charts, any existing models utilizing those charts will be broken - we would have thousands of models with many holes each that would need to be updated to the new hole charts.If we retain the legacy charts, it would lead to confusion due to similar chart names. Is there any way to get around this issue? Maybe retaining the charts within the system, but somehow hiding them in the standard hole tool? Or perhaps setting up a relationship between legacy charts names and new charts to automatically convert old models? Surely other companies must be running into this issue

I'm looking for the press force required to push down the top part 1.3mm from simulation. Any idea ? Thanks!

We are having an issue using Creo over our VPN. When retreiving an assembly over vpn it is very slow and users are seeing a performance hit. When a user goes to retreive an assembly a bunch of temp files are written to their home directory which is on a network drive. Is there a way to change the creo home directory to use a local folder and not a network drive? Or does anyone have any other work arounds for this?  Thanks

Version:Creo Parametric 5.0.6.0 OTK C++Description: I tried a lot of combination of using RetrieveSymbolDefItem method but they seems don't get the right object.For example I'm using it like this :pfcDetailSymbolDefItem_ptr pDefSymDefItem = pOwner->RetrieveSymbolDefItem("circlerevice.sym", pfcDTLSYMDEF_SRC_PATH);Of course my pro_symbol_dir  is set and the symbol I want to retrieve("circlerevice.sym") is in the directory.I've tried add fullfilepath and change pfcDTLSYMDEF_SRC_PATH to pfcDTLSYMDEF_SRC_SYSTEM along with move symbol file from user defined dir to system symbol dir but the method still doesn't work.Can somebody help me?Thanks a lot. I think it would be better if those API document come with same demo code.

im trying to make a relation in an assembly between 2 sub assemblies. tried to do as written in the website, but cant see the session id after enabling it. i had a master part, that i created parts from it, then assembled those in 2 sub assemblies. it calls the parts 'extern copy of id'.

Hi Guys,   I tried to enhance mathcad Prime's page counter as the counter does not allow starting with a page number other than 1. So I'm using a textbox as a page counter. In this textbox I have an input and an output. The counter shall increase by one on each consecutive page making it possible to combine several files into one. Or so I thought. For some reason I can't hide or collapse the left side of the textbox which makes it appear ungainly. I've tried to hide it and to collapse it. To no avail.   Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Raiko P.S. I'd prefer to have this textbox in the footer, but prime does not accept it. Any idea how to change this?

I'm looking for a solution to modify the decimal places shown in the bend note in a sheet metal flat pattern. The default is 2 decimal places & its shown in the sheet part bend note as shown in this example below: ∠&benddir__&BendDim90_00° This needs to display as a parametric dimension in the drawing & not as a workaround. I am submitting a support case as well. @ links to members The versions of Creo I currently use are 9.0 & 11.0

We are upgrading to v8.0.8.0 of Creo Parametric and need to certify the FlexLM 11.16  I have downloaded the latest FlexLM, and was wondering if I need to request a temporary license of Creo Parametric, or if I can download from the site and just provide our test server instead of the production server. Regards, Lawrence DemersGeneral Motors

I have an issue with Creo Parametric 11 - Once I hide a part, there is no way for me to save the visibility status. Take the following steps as an example:Open assembly with 2 partsHide 1 partAttempt to save ("save part" works, but "save (visibility) status" is greyed out)Further info: Once I hide parts, I can see them under the "Hidden items" under the layer tree, yet I still cannot "save status".Close part (Including erase not displayed, close creo, etc.)Reopen part. (Once the part is reopened the hidden part is no longer hidden.)I used to do this on Creo 7 constantly. Has this changed? Is there another way to do this now with the visibility/layer tree status? I do not want to use simplified reps, because I want to hide many parts quickly and then go back to my original view by using a "reset status" mapkey. Simplified reps take too much time (or too many clicks per part rather than hide), especially on large assemblies.
