When viewing the drawing in PTC Creo Parametric, the Origin Extension is displayed as a solid line. However, once the file is published and opened in PTC Creo View, the Origin Extension changes to a dotted line.     in creo View In Creo parametric

When using Creo View (MCAD) if various faces of an object have been recolored using Home --> Appearance -> color palette,  it it possible to save the recolored object to a PVZ file in such a way that the new color information is retained in the file and again displayed when the PVZ file is reopened?

I am using Mathcad Release 15.0 and DatecodeM045One user trying to open a DataFiles Folder .dat file and when they click Load Data nothing happens. It will not populate the Project Name, Wall No, or any of the other project information that the .dat file contains. However, the same project file works for every other user. Even on the same existing machine. We believed this would be windows profile specific issue but we completely blew the users profile away and had them log back in to create new profile with the same results. While I understand this product is end of life, we still have certain FDOT (Florida DOT) projects that they rely on us using this until the tools this old product provide can be resolved by new versions. We are sincerely hoping you may have suggestions and options for similar issues from past that you can provide input on.Here are the errors that I facedProject Information from .dat file will simply just not load for this one user only.

I am solving a system of 1D steady ODEs in Mathcad using RK4. The system works correctly until I add a heat transfer term representing two-way coupling between a gas phase and injected droplets. When this term is included, the solver no longer outputs results and reports that the gradient matrix must be scalar or a matrix.The gas stagnation temperature gradient depends on Reynolds number, Nusselt number and a convective heat transfer coefficient that is itself a function of the ODE variables, which vary along z (length of nozzle)All other gradients (Mach, pressure, velocity, etc.) are functions of the same state vector and work correctly when the heat term is removed. I suspect I am incorrectly defining a function within the gradient matrix or using If else wrong.Any help would be appreciated, as I'm going round in circles.below is screenshot of part of code:  Thanks very much 

GreetingsI have a rather strange question, with topic that some people might consider insignificant and unimportant, but this particular function that Im making will probably be used numerous times in a single worksheet. For that reason Im trying to optimize almost every function in my file as much as possible. Ofcourse I dont expect a detailed answer with testing results etc, but rather your thoughts on this topic.In this case, I need to determine in which region of IAPWS-IF97 (formulation for thermodynamic properties of water) the point lies on a pressure-temperature plot.P-T Diagram, Validity range of IF-97So, here is the question itself: wich model of (p,T) function would be faster and easier to calculate (e.g. on a low-spec hardware), the one with separated IF`s, or the one where IF`s combined with usage of multiple "and (˄)" and "or (˅)"?And will the result be different in Mathcad Prime?Model 1Model 2Functions and constants used (for clarification, in case you are interested)ps(T

Hello all,recently bought a Creo Illustrate license and in the PTC Portal we arranged the Licensing Host details (added the name of the notebook and MAC address)The problem i have is that i am unable to start Creo Illustrate, it seems i need a file before i can start the software. Did some checks in Copilot and it mentions i need a license.dat file which i can retrieve from the PTC portal.I am able to find an option called "Retrieve license file" but according to Copilot these are not the correct file which i need. However i am not able to find another option to find this elusive file 🙂 (or is Copilot just sending me to a totally wrong non existent solution?)Thnx in advance

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0Hi Support,需要提供关于Mathcad Prime的一个功能介绍关于- 提供一个例子实现vba对Mathcad变量的读写和强制计算刷新 (组件对象模型部分)Thanks,

HI, I'm new to CreoJS and it is the first time i meet this situation. In Feburary 2026 PTC introduced new important features for me. How can I update CreoJS without reinstalling whole Creo.    

mathcad cannot handle correctly the swap of negative symbol in odd powers.Specific, calculating this expression (-1/8)^(-2/3) gives an imaginary result instead of the 4 as result

Creo Elements Direct Modeling 20.7.1.0 (English):I can't "snap to" or "catch" an intersection when dimensioning.In this case I would like to dimension from the bottom of a key slot to the top of the shaft at the 12 o'clock position. The only way i have found is to draw a very short vertical geometry line at the point where the center line intersects the diameter line. When I create this line I can snap/catch the intersection of the center line and the diameter line WHY can't I catch the same intersection when dimensioning?Thank you for your help.Tim Higdon

 ComponentConstraint constraint = componentConstraints.get(i); Selection compRef = constraint.GetAssemblyReference(); Model model = compRef.GetSelModel(); Hello，During the development, I encountered that when the Model is an array, the assembly item model obtained from the constraint is not the correct array model. I used the above code to obtain the model according to the principle that the array parts indicated by the red arrow were obtained, but the source file indicated by the green arrow was obtained. Is there a way to get the parts of the array?

I'm using Creo 11 w/ Complete Machining Extension. I'm trying to learn 5-axis milling capabilities of Creo and I want to have a full tool library curated by someone else. I have downloaded the "Tooling Library" from PTC page "Legacy Creo Libraries".https://www.ptc.com/en/support/enablement/AdditionalCreolibraries Can anyone teach me or send me documentation on how to make use of the tools inside of Creo. For every .prt file of a tool there seems to be a corresponding .mnu file and there are 3 or 4 .exe. I imagine there is a way to view the .mnu files in a master menu with graphics, but I don't know. Thanks,Kevin

Hi all,I am building an automated drawing export system using Creo Toolkit (Creo 12, Windows, DLL architecture). PDF and DXF batch export are working perfectly via ProPDFExport and Pro2dExport. PLT export has been the blocker for 2+ days.What I have tried:1. ProPrintExecute — All three option getters succeed (status=0):ProPrintPrinterOptionsGet("postscript") ✅ProPrintMdlOptionsGet ✅ProPrintPlacementOptionsGet ✅But ProPrintExecute always returns -22 (PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT). Window ID from ProMdlWindowGet is confirmed valid (1001). Drawing is retrieved, displayed, window activated and set current before the call.2. cpbatch.exe — Cannot find it anywhere in our Creo 12 corporate installation:Parametric\bin\ — only parametric.exe and cocreatesim.exeCommon Files\x86e_win64\obj\ — not presentIs cpbatch.exe still shipped with Creo 12 or has it been removed?3. xtop.exe — Present in our installation. Has anyone used it for headless batch PLT export? What arguments does it accept?Environment:Creo Pa

I'm using Creo 2.0 currently and would like to be able to assign material properties to bulk items in an assembly I have. I want this for reporting the PTC_MATERIAL_NAME parameter in my drawing BOM. In the assembly model in Creo 2.0, there's no way to right-click on a part and assign materials. For each part, I have to open them and manually set the material by going to File -> Prepare -> Model Properties, which is not an option for bulk materials because the only way to access them is through the Relations window. PTC_MATERIAL_NAME is a reserved parameter and cannot be manually added in relations. Do I need to change my BOM settings to a user defined parameter for each part in the model? Any other workaround?

Hi, I need an expert advice on how to export a BOM generated in Creo Elements drawing sheet to excel or any other formats which can further connect to any other applications.Appreciate your response. ThanksNaresh

Hi, I need an expert help who can provide the right procedure to customize the BOM in Creo elements Direct modeling under 3d Documentation. The generic documentation is bit confusing & doesnt show which file need to used for adding the syntax. Appreciate you quick response.ThanksNaresh

Hello, I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.10.0.When we use a threaded hole feature fabrication needs some information.Thread size, thread depth etc.Using hole chart make this possible.But when we have a pattern of a threaded hole, we also want to see the number of holes.Because this is related to a feature ID i can't seem to figure out how to make this possible.In attached picture you can see what i tried.Does anyone have a solution for me? Thanks in advance. LD

Hi, We're using Creo 10.0.6.0 and currently evaluating the ECAD-MCAD Collaboration (ECX) which allows using IDX files. On the ECAD side, we use Cadence. We ran into a snag because we have rigid flex assemblies that use multiple thicknesses, but Creo doesn't support that yet. Many references here:  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/ECAD-board-with-different-thickness/idi-p/814493 https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Support-IDX-4-5-File-format/idi-p/842345 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS262034?source=search https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS302761?source=search We have workarounds to manage these files today using EMN/EMP transfers. I'm interested in learning if others have already found workarounds to manage multiple thicknesses with IDX files.    Thanks, Joe

I am using Creo 11. I have separate .hol file. I want to write code in that .hol file so that "1 X" should not be visible in the hole note. Plz help, how can I modify this line{0:&PATTERN_NO}× /{0:&FASTENER_ID} × {0:&THREAD_DEPTH[.1]}<ctrl-a>/<ctrl-b>{0:&DRILL_DEPTH[.1]}V so that Pattern_No will not visible if the value is 1.

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.1.0Hello,is there a way to insert line breaks in Mathcad expressions, especially when using READEXCEL with long file paths? I need to read two matrices from different files and combine them using AUGMENT(A, B), but the full expressions do not fit on one worksheet line.Is line wrapping supported, or is there a recommended workaround?

It would be useful if we could repeat a Geo Tol in a drawing without always starting with the simple "tolerance of precision" I seem to remember in the past when it would start with the previous instance.These are in the drawing, not the model. I sincerely hope that's not the problem. In fact that couldn't be the problem because if they were "in the model" they would simply "show" I would rather add the tolerances in the drawings.

Hello folks,   a colleague asked me if I knew a way to copy the name of a selected model tree element to the clipboard.Since I could not find an out-of-the-box solution, I developed a small tool for this purpose myself:"Copy Model Tree Element Name To Clipboard"Maybe someone else would like to use the tool.

I'm trying to set up a design study where I rotate a crankshaft and the load vectors and magnitudes vary based on the rotation angle.  I was told I could create a user parameter, which is the angle, and then link the load values and/or directions to the angle parameter using relations. So when the angle value changes, the loads change accordingly.   Can someone show me how I would write a relation like that? or Does someone have another way to do this?   Currently the crankshaft is an assembly file where the load vector is defined with a coordinate system.  So when the assembly angle (crankshaft angle) is changed the csys changes to apply the bearing load at the correct vector.

Hey, I have a few mapkeys where I use the pause with the resume prompt/popup. (I've included a picture for clarity) There is no need to hit cancel but if you do click cancel instead of "Resume" it leaves you in an undesired state. The preferred fix would be to remove the "cancel" button entirely and only show "Resume". Is this possible and if so, how. I've tried modifying lines in the config file with no luck so far. Thanks!
