Hello, This morning, I reopened some files (from Windchill workspace) and continued work on them from last week. At some point, I realized that I wasn't connected to my organizations Windchill server, so I saved all of my work, and closed Creo (through task manager), reopened, and logged into the server. At this point, many of the files I was working on stopped appearing in the directory. What's weird is that some files were reverted to a very old state (prior to this morning session), while some file which were created recently (during morning session where not logged into server), were saved, and some files created and saved prior to this morning were completely deleted. I have no idea what to do and this is causing many hours of lost work. Please help! (Creo Parametric 9.0.3.0)

Hello, Using the technique described in the post by Jossie titled "Ordinate Dimensions on a detailed view - different sheet," I am having what appears to be random instances when the Baseline Ordinate dimension jumps from the main view to the detail view. The process I use goes like this:1. On a default drawing view, that includes ordinate dimensions, I create a regular dimension.2. I right click that dimension, toggle to ordinate.3. Then I select that ordinate dimension and select Move-to-View, selecting the detailed view for it to move to. So far so good. What happens next has me baffled as I cannot find a consistent cause. While making other typical drawing modifications at some point the Baseline Ordinate dimension jumps from the original view it was created on, to the detailed view. This both places the Baseline in a location where the edge would be if the view wasn't detailed, not helpful, and worse it kills the attachment for the other ordinate dimensions on the d

I'm converting a MathCAD 15 worksheet to Prime 9.0.  The MathCAD 15 worksheet uses sliders to control input variables for a design.  The slider in MathCAD15  is installed via insert/control/slider.  I do not see anything similar in Prime 9.0.   Am I missing something -- are there any options? 

Hello, I've recently had a problem where I would add files to my workspace, but when I open my workspace in Creo, they will only show up if the workspace is inactive. The moment I activate the workspace to open the files in Creo, the files disappear, only to show back up again when I deactivate the workspace. As a result, I am unable to open the files in Creo. Has anyone else had this issue? I've tried making new workspaces, reinstalling and uninstalling, etc. I am on Creo 8 and 9.

Once I open the STEP assembly file, it shows an assembly containing one sub-assemblie, as shown in the attached image.How can I avoid this sub-assembly file?

please let me know, how can i set white background after rendering  attaching here with one image which i am receiving after rendering .    

I am shocked that I have walked the surface of this planet for over 5 decades without realizing that there is no exact closed-form solution for the perimeter of an ellipse. In school, we learn the perimeter of shapes like triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, parallelograms, and so on, but I feel like schools and teachers conveniently skipped over ellipses. (An ellipse, in case it’s been a while, is the set of points where the sum of the distances from two points – the foci – is a constant.)     Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to correct that oversight. Create a Mathcad worksheet that: Derives, depicts, or shows one (or more) of the various approximation formulas / methods for the perimeter of an ellipse. Create a calculator whereby someone can change the values of the semi-major and semi-minor axis lengths in order to find the perimeter. Create a 3D plot of the perimeter as a function of the ellipse semi-major and semi-minor axis lengths. Although th

We are using the welding module in Creo but we are having problem obtaining the weld spesification number in reeat regions in the table on the drawing. Like sequence ID and rod material is no problem, however &weldasm.weld.SPECIFICATION_NUMBER or &SPECIFICATION_NUMBER does not work, link to the documentation are here: https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r9.0/usascii/index.html#page/welding/About_General_Parameters.html# We guess it is not possible with repeat region to collect sequence ID with the same specification number or?

All,Can Creo Illustrate open native Creo Parametric files such as assmblies, parts and drawings?Or does and export file need to be created in Creo Parametrics such as Step?Wayne

When creating a new part, we start with a start part template, such as a round part. Instead of manually double-clicking each dimension and typing the values, we would like a window to open when the template is called. This window will prompt us to enter the outer dimensions, and the new part will be generated with these specificationsplease find the attached image also

Hi Guys,Watermark which i created for lifecycle state and set as "Send to Back" it's not working it's still appeared in front of annotation and view. Regards,Aj

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.7.0We are using symbols in notes/tables with "&sym(...)" syntax. In some cases we reuse the same line in a note by copy paste function (using ctrl+c, ctrl+v).We noticed that doing so we get sometimes additional symbol, which is not visible, but placed behind note (not visible and not embedded in the note). Moreover, when symbol is being deleted from the note there is artifact of a deleted symbol remaining behind the note (not visible and not embedded in the note anymore). Those "background artifacts" causes issues when trying to update any symbol overlapping with artifacts.

I need to maintain the length of 4 locked flats on a locked shape.  The depth of the locked shape is variable and is controlled in a family table.  I have 8 rounds which are applied to the transition between horizontal and the locked flats.  If I increase the thickness of the shape the 8 constant radii will alter the position of the 4 flats that I need to maintain. Normally I could keep a parametric relationship of these flats within a sketch.  To avoid reworking my geometry and just for the sake of curiosity I am wondering if there might be a way to parametrically have the inside corner radii to decrease and the outside corner radii to increase based on the thickness change that was made to the shape? Below is an image of this shape which defines the solid rounds and identifies the flats that need maintained.If this isn't parametrically possible I will modify the model to develop the relationship that I need using a sketch with all of the radii and a

Option CENTER_LINE is default when I dim circular in CED Drafting 20.7. Please guide me how to set up option NO_CENTER_LINE is default.    

Why I'm having wrong units, there shell not be Pa in the denominator 

I have an assembly that is broken into several different simplified representations.  I want to use a BOM table in my drawing for consistent balloon numbering. The best way I see to do that is to use a component parameter "LINENUMBER" in an assembly that will store the line number for a bom table in every instance simplified reps.   I've entered Linenumber as a component parameter for a few components, but a problem I run into is that when I have instances of hardware I have to enter this parameter individually for all the hundreds of screws and washers.   Is there a way for me to enter the component parameter for all instances of a component without having to work with Windchill? Creo 7.0.7.0

In the attached mathcad 15 worksheet the following error message is seen when double clicking the header area.  This area is an excel spreadsheet. The header is not accepting input from the form in the shaded box to the right.  I have used this header for years and now all of a sudden it has stopped working.  Can anyone please help me get this back and running again.

Hello there, I've got a problem I can't get my head around and I hope some of you have got a suggestion for me.I'm trying to to import a STEP file (an assembly) into Creo and the problem is that all the parts name get changed and doesn't stay the same as per the original file. The get renamed like MG_100000 etc.Does anyone know how to make Creo to keep the original part name?

I am trying to animate a mechanism for a presentation but I keep getting a warning that says "Capture Warning: Capture failed due to compression failure". This only occurs if I enable "Render Frames". If I disable this option the capture will work but the quality/resolution is terrible. Anyone know what would cause this issue? I can't find anything online related to this error.

Creo 9.0.4 is going to 'not responding' state. Tried re-installing, clearing cache.Verified config.pro. Nothing seems to work. Could you help with some suggestions other than graphics card?The same configuration for different users seems to be working fine, but only for one user, it's not working.Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support!

I'd like to discuss how to automatically update the projection type in Creo drawings based on the drawing format.Creo 10 Here's the scenario:The Creo config currently points to the drawing setup file V:\Test\CreoSettings\configs\Drw_Setup.dtl.This file defines the projection type as FIRST_ANGLE.We want to create a mechanism that switches the projection type to THIRD_ANGLE if the drawing format is test_T_americas.frm.Two potential approaches exist:Scripting: We can develop a script (e.g., Python) to check the drawing format and update the Drw_Setup.dtl file accordingly.Manual Modification (One-Time): For a one-time change, we can manually edit both config.pro and Drw_Setup.dtl to reflect the desired behavior.What are your thoughts on the best approach for this situation?Please let me know if you have any questions or require further details.Thanks,
