We have run across multiple assembly files that have specific mate functions established in the assembly, that show how the assembly should move. When we import the file into Creo Illustrate, it appears all of those mates are removed/broken. For a simple (and non-proprietary) example, we can reference this destaco clamp animation: Destaco Clamp Animation (youtube.com) In this assembly, the movement of the plunger is controlled through the linkages that connect back to the handle. All of these mates can be established in the native CAD file. But when we import the file into Creo Illustrate, we cannot easily recreate this movement, especially for more complex assemblies with hundreds of parts and hundreds of mates.  Is it possible to keep these mates from the native CAD file? Am I importing the assembly wrong into Creo Illustrate?  

Is it possible to export Mathcad sheet to XML file in version 9 prime?If so, how?Thanks 

  This month’s challenge is inspired by Dungeons and Dragons and Stranger Things. D&D involves spinning dice, which are regular convex polyhedrons. The most common dice used are d4 (tetrahedron), d6 (cube), d8 (octahedron), d10 (decahedron), d12 (dodecahedron), and d20 (icosahedron), where ‘d’ is for die and the number indicates the number of sides. In this challenge, we will focus on the Platonic solids, which are the regular polyhedrons made up of regular polygons (the lengths of each side and interior angles are equal). In other words, skip the 10-sided die. Most references define regular polyhedrons as a function of the edge length of one of the polygonal faces. In this challenge, we are defining the regular polyhedrons by the radius of the circle that circumscribes a polygonal face. Your challenge is as follows: Derive the surface area of the regular polyhedrons as a function of the radius of a circle that circumscribes a polygonal face. (Optional) Derive the formula fo

How can I load a sketch via command line that is placed as a child of the frame?In my case I would like the "logo" sketch to be placed as a child of the "cart_A3" framethe command line command to load the sketch is:sd-am-load-sketch  I' have Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.5.1.0

 When using the root function of Mathcad with more than two parameters, an error occurs. It seems to be a bug. Does anyone have a solution? A simplified example of this issue is printed and attached as an mcdx file. In the original Mathcad sheet where I found this error, this function is used in an advanced routine with parameters in arrays and with dimensions. This function worked fine in previous versions of Mathcad.  

Hi,New user for Prime 9 I want to customize the S N Curve (X, Y) plotso that for induced stress values corresponding life cycles to be known.how the units to be incorporated in (x, y) labelsX corresponding y value to be shown or vice versaX, Y limit values to be customized Thanks & RegardsGS 

This error shows up after assembling multiple rocker arm if you have any idea to solve this share that!!! Have a good day!!!... (I am using creo 5.0)  

Hello, does anyone know which is the best way to orient a 3D model normal to a specific selected surface in Creo View?

I am new to Creo View and after having been used to Solidworks, I could easily view an object perpendicular to itself by using a 'View Normal' command. It could be any face such as a bolt head, a square etc. But in creo view, I am finding it difficult to view objects normally and hence I am not able to view their alignment properly as I cant find the 'View Normal' option. Can anyone please help me with this. It is very difficult rather impossible to manually orient it to view it normally. Shift +N is used in Creo Parametric but what to do to "View Normally "in Creo View.Thanks in advance.

When creating the first view of a flat pattern part, the overall (outside) dimensions and the bend angle (that’s a note, not a dim) will automatically show on the flat part.It was working but one day stopped working.How can I get that feature working again?Is there a config.pro option for that?I can still show the dims with “show model annotation” command.Creo Parametric 8.0.2.0

A weld symbol on a drawing specifies all around but it needs to be changed. The weld symbol was created in older version of Creo (4.0 or Wildfire 5.0) but where is this option located so it can be removed.. What is being overlooked?    

Hi, I'm new to Mathcad. I understand the basics, but I'm struggling with how to solve the equation to find the value of xMathcad prime 09

Hi there, is there a way to deactivate "auto check in" in Windchill or in Creo 10?The thing with check in comments is, that our engineers tend to be lazy, when it comes to make "meaningful" comments.I tweaked the "custom check in" dialogue on the Windchill side to run some test on the comment, before it is accepted ( e.g. minimum length where "bla bla" does not count). But since there is this "auto check in" button in Creo, those lazy engineers can easily circumvent those tests. I already asked a similar question herehttps://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/disable-quot-auto-check-in-quot/m-p/358999#M7254But the "solution" was not working for me. My hope is, that from Creo 3 to Creo 10 (and from Windchill 10 to 12) some things have changed ( and improved 🤞 ).

Hello,I would be grateful if someone could help me with the following design. Being unable to do 3D sketches as I used to do in Solidworks, I am confronted as to how to proceed.Thanks in advance.

I am getting notifications for parts in Creo see attached screeenshot. Kindly request you to advise the fundamental base reason for the same?I would appreciate your help with it.

I am trying to run a structure mode analysis for a support plate assembly i have put together. Ive put together an assembly (fully constrained, and all part materials are defined) but I keep getting errors saying that i have cracks in my model.  This prevents me from running any sort of simulation. Ive looked online as to what creo means by cracks and from what i see.  "A crack exists in the model, probably caused by adjacent placement of free or contactinterfaces and bonded interfaces in a configuration that results in multiple coincidentcurves connecting the same pair of nodes. Please modify the interfaces to avoid this."Im unsure of what to do since everything is fully constrained.  nothing is overlapping or has any duplicate parts, and i cant really put the braze in that will hold everything together when this is manufactured. because of this, alot of the assembly has .002 or the like spacing.

Hi All, We have recently carried out some testing on a system which has generated quite a bit of data on a spreadsheet. A calculation was set up to prove the original operation, but since there is now data, our client would it processed. Is there a way to obtain data from an excel spread sheet (one column), put a single value (one cell of the column), process via mathcad calculation and then export the cell to another spread sheet with the result variable desired?

(view in My Videos)I need assistance with connecting 2 different surfaces, please see the attached video.  Your help and suggestions is greatly appreciated

I'm installing a single user, windows, MathCad 14.0 from the CD Disk with Date Code: M020. Since this was an upgrade from a previous version, the installation is asking for the "old serial number," which I don't have. I contacted PTC customer support, and they kindly generated and sent me a License Pack file. Where and how to use this file?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.3.0In a sketch, the function to "Convert Selected Entities to Construction" is grayed out for some entities but not others. I used to be able to convert any sketched entities to construction. Edit:  I don't know why this topic was created in the "System Administration" category...

I want to repeat certain steps in side a program in Mathcad. Is it possible?For example in a beam cross section i will fill the bars in one layer until the spacing of the bars is not less then minimum spacing and then i will check if the design moment is less than or equal to resisting moment. If not i have to repeat certain steps and place the bars in more than one layers until the design moment is almost equal to resisting moment. I have a program to place the bars in one layer, how can i tell mathcad programming  to repeat these steps for the second and third layers?

The color displayed in Creo is inconsistent with the color when exporting STP and other files using UG, especially when opening with Creo. I have checked the "Appearance and Layer" option during export, but tried many methods but it was not effective. This is very troublesome for me. If you know how to solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
