When I run the weblink example, pfcSelectionExamples.html, it works mostly fine, but the model name always comes up as undefined.  Not matter what I do with my own code that I've made, I can't seem to get it working either.Does anyone else have this issue?  Is it because my files are from windchill, and not stored locally?I know this is the third weblink post I've made lately, but information on the topic is sparse to say the least, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!This is creo 9.0.3.0

Some of our harnesses in the real world are coming out longer than the dimensioned drawing shows when bundled.I measured in Creo.  If I measure the lengths of the individual segments, I get 350mm.  If i measure the overal wire, I get 379.  That's over an inch of difference.Any help would be appreciated on how to alleviate this.Creo 9.0.3

Are there any file format rules about "Save as PDF or "Print to PDF? I generate 30 page workshheets with a few plots with many line styles and trace colors.Very often the PDF conversion process ignores some colors and changes line styles.Text and graphics are well spaced.This has become an on and off case-file for some time and I am working with a PTC help agent in India.On one occasion I removed all text and plots were perfect!  We have no ideas about the problem.Files will not be shared online:  Patent submission. 

Hello,  I use 3D annotation to dimension my assembly. The dimensions are organized in annotation features and with combination views. The models of a combination view are also restricted by simplified reps. The 3D model dimensions are shown on the drawing. There are different views corresponding to the simplified reps. To avoid a cluttering view when opening the 3D model, the annotations are removed from the default all combination state. When I activate another combination view (also another simplified rep) the shown model annotations, like dimensions and geometrical tolerance, disappear from the view. The tree icon is greyed out and with at black square overlay.  I can get the dimensions back when I add all the model annotation to the default view. But as mentioned this is not what I would like, because it clutters the view when opening the 3D model.  There are some SPR's related to this: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS11232

I am using Creo Simulate Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.2.0   I would like to confirm the setting of SS400_mmns.mat in the default "Material Directory"   When I open the material definition of SS400, the Young's modulus is set to "216001MPa".   Generally, the Young's modulus of SS400 is often written as "205000-206000MPa", but if it is set to "216001MPa", it is thought that there will be some difference in the deflection of the analysis results.   Is there any reason for the setting value of "216001MPa" above?   Also, could you please provide me with any reference material that shows the Young's modulus as "216001MPa"?   ---------------------------------------------------- Translated text from Japanese to English using google translate Subject - 「材料ディレクトリ」(Material Directory) 内にある SS400_mmns.matの設定について Body - I am using Creo Simulate Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.2.0  デフォルトの「材料ディレクトリ」(Material Directory) 内にある  SS400_mmns.matの設定について確認したいのですが 

I have many users that use the Dark theme in Creo parametric 9. The note color is yellow for that theme. When exporting to a PVZ the text color is also yellow. How can I change that so they can keep the dark theme and export the note text to black or whatever preferred color?I tried changing the the system_colors_file to C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.3.0\Common Files\text\system_colors\light.scl but that did not resolve the issue. 

The picture is from a PVZ in creo view 9 saved from creo 9. The leader should be attached to the other end of the gold part. The gold part is exploded but the leader points to the spot where it would be if the gold part was not exploded. How can I fix this?  

Hi all, In Creo 8.0.9 - while i preview a subassembly from Creo it is showing some different subassembly to the actual subassembly.   It is particularly for this subassembly it is mismatching. I have attached images for reference.    

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?

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
