Add centreline/symmetry line/crosshair   Hello,   I'm looking for a function to display or add a centreline/symmetry line or crosshair of a hole/round element. The crosshairs are not displayed using "Show model annotations". Actually exactly what is described right at the beginning of this guide for Creo Elements: https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/ced_modeling/r20.7.0.0/de/index.html#page/ced_modeling/OSDM_Annotation/am_aux_geop2.html   In the screenshot I have inserted the crosshair whose function I am looking for in green.   I use Creo 9.0.8.0   Translated by the moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mittellinie/ Symmetrielinie/ Fadenkreuz hinzufügen   Hallo, ich suche nach einer Funktion, eine Mittellinie/ Symmetrielinie bzw. ein Fadenkreuz einer Bohrung/ eines runden Elements anzuzeigen oder hinzuzufügen.

Hello  am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0I saw this video, i tried the same method as you explained in my system with example i could not get the different color in drawing I have tried using different appearanceCould you please help me on this.  For example, I have created new rep, new appreance and I have even created new combined state in view manager as shown in video but which ever combined state is active only that that colors are visible mode. 

Hello, Is it possible to redefine/ modify pattern table using Creo toolkit C++? I am trying to update the dimensions using Ptb file which is used for read function of pattern table.  I am having issue to build element tree of this pattern table and to define first instance of this. Is there any sample code for it? 

Hi All, So I have a long list of equations in a word document that are laid out like they need to be in Mathcad script. Does anyone know a way to copy text and paste it into mathcad so it recognises it as a Math input and not a Text Box?  The only way to currently do it is to re-write the equations in mathcad, character by character.  Using Mathcad Prime 9.0.0 license Thanks,  Rich

Dear Creo-Team/Community,I'm currently trying to open Creo after some months. Creo asks for an activation key, which I've tried to created manually on the redirected creo.com website. Sadly it isn't working anymore. Can anyone please help?  

Trying to display the corresponding controlling condition associated with Column 1 to be displayed to the right. Is there a way this can de done simply? 

Good morning community. I am trying to program to find a number α so that it meets a condition Psol=0.00 tonnef. In short, what I want is to enter an initial value α and until that condition Psol=0.00 tonnef is met, look for the value of α. Thank you for your attention, my version of Mathcad prime is V.9.0.   Translated by the moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iteración con un valor inicial   Buen día comunidad. Estoy tratando de programar para buscar un número α para que cumpla una condición Psol=0.00 tonnef.  en resumen, lo que quiero es introducir un valor inicial α y hasta que no se cumpla esa condición Psol=0.00 tonnef busque el valor de α. Gracias por la atención prestada mi versión de Mathcad prime es V.9.0.

I'm working with ME'scope and Creo Parametric 11.  ME'scope can export structure files in either .UFF (Universal File Format) or ASCII Text (.txt) files.  I don't see a way to import either of these into Creo.  I want to be able to modify the parts from ME'scope so that I don't have to re-design them in Creo from scratch.  I know I can import a Parasolid to Creo, but I don't know if selecting that option with the ASCII spreadsheet (.txt) file will work.  I thought I would ask the question before wasting time on experiments that may not work.  

Hello,I have multiple skeleton in my assembly. I use to ProAsmSkeletonGet() to retrieve skeleton as ProMdl Skel. It retrieves first skeleton from model. I want to get also the next skeletons to perform operations on feature in it. Can anyone one suggest how do I retrieve second skeleton with help of ProAsmSkeletonGet() or any similar function to perform operation on feature in other skeleton in same assembly.

I have encountered an issue that I cannot seem to solve, when working with sheetmetal parts. The sheetmetal part has different features to be placed 360 degrees around a cylindrical object, for laser engraving purposes. So the thickness of the sheetetal is on paper irrelevant - so ideally so thin it is just visible on the assembly.The dimensions of the sheetmetal part matches the diameter of the object and so does the features on it - atleast theoretically. The sheetmetal bend is set to 360 degrees and to keep the dimensions on the inside of the bend.But, when assembling the sheetmetal with the cylindrical object, I get small inaccuracies on the technical drawing of the assembly - the angles between the features do no longer match, which is an issue on the given task.I have found out that changing the thickness of the sheetmetal impacts the position of the features, even though the part is set to keep the dimensions on the inside of the bend, and I do not know why. I am worki

Hi all,   As the title suggests, I don't know if deleting my creo_parametric_customization.UI file is my only option in getting to do my work using Creo Parametric 10.0.1.0   Things worked fine yesterday.  But this morning, if I don't delete the UI file, the software crashes after showing the splash screen. Traceback.log suggests "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"     If I delete the creo_parametric_customization.UI file, software works fine.  But my ribbon and quick-toolbar customizations are gone... And attempting to import them from the backup .UI causes a fatal error crash.   Any suggestions?   I suppose it is wise to keep a backup of a (working) creo_parametric_customization.UI file...

Hello,I recently began to see the circles in my drafts as polygons (see image attached). It began since:1. I have a new ultra wide monitor2. run some updates on my computer.It's only an issue when in draft or sketch mode, other programs are not affected (like when exporting a draft to PDF). I'm using Creo version 8.0.3.0 Thank you in advance for any help.

Greetings, In my current endeavor, I am focused on designing and optimizing a pipe connector that transitions from a diameter of 100mm to 125mm. This project involves utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)/BMX studies to refine the design parameters. As I am relatively new to the field of fluid simulations, this project serves as both a challenging and enriching learning experience. For this project, I am employing Creo Parametric 11. My initial design incorporates an inner core that assists in the diameter transition, aiming to maintain efficient fluid flow. The preliminary design intent is illustrated in the first image attached. Front viewBack viewSide viewSide view with extension tube for CFD analysisI have extended the tube on both ends to enhance the accuracy of the CFD analysis. Could one please confirm if this approach is correct? Upon advancing to the fluid analysis phase and establishing a fluid domain, I encountered an unexpected issue—noticeable fr

Good afternoon,  I was trying to convert an .xmcd file to an mcdx file, but it failed and I'm not sure why. I have used this program in the past and don't have Mathcad 15 anymore.  Can anyone help me convert this? 

How can I add cursor to read the values from the plots it is possible in prime 10? Or any other method ? Cheers,Bruce

We had set the default bend radius for everyone by adding smt_dflt_bend_radius smt_thickness*0.5 to our config.pro so everyone had the same bend radius's and was more accurate on how it was built. I was designing a bunch new Sheetmetal parts only to realize the default is now .03 which cant actually be made when your are bending .25" thick Sheetmetal. So i went to check the configuration editor and smt_dflt_bend_radius now has a cross out symbol. Is there a new way to set this so everyone has the same default bend radius so no one forgets and sends out a part that cant be made?

Is anyone have ever configure Creo Parametric FlexLM to work within 2 network using a NAT?We have 2 network, so that the people on the second network can ping the FlexLM on the original network we configured the NAT to point the IP and Port 7788 of LM_Admin but the users on the NAT side cannot get licensing. as we run the ptc_status all license are shown "counted": 

Hello all,  I am trying to import datum points from .pts file stored using Toolkit C++. I am loading the pts data using WfcIntfPTS and also getting feature using GetFeaturebyId().  I am unable to find method to assign this imported pts file to the the feature.Can anyone suggest me the method to do so?   Or can suggest me method to import this .pts file and assign it to datum points feature.   

Hi, I am using the API, and have a working code.  However, for generality, when getting output results I cannot tell what type is it.  For example, if I use  .... Outputs = WS.OutputsFor i = 0 To WS.Outputs.Count - 2var = Outputs.GetAliasByIndex(i)varval = WS.OutputGetRealValue(var)varvalstr = WS.OutputGetRealValue(var).RealResult.ToStringvarunitstr = varval.Unitsimsg = imsg + "Index=" + Str(i) + " , Name= " + var.ToString + " , Value= " + varvalstr + " , Units= " + varunitstr + vbCrLfNext ... How can I tell before calling OutputGetRealValue that my output is a real number not a string or matrix?   Cody 

Can I pass string variable into the include statement to based on file path as a string variable? Can it be done
