CAD

I was downloading the student version of creo for my class, but I dont see any License folder under the ProgramData/PTC file.

I am a fun of Mathcad (the classic version in my case), but far from being an expert. So sometimes I come here, but recently I often use AI chats to query for basic help. I found that ChatGPT and Claude (free plans) are probably the most responsive models in my case. But they tend to not follow always my prompts that I am still using MC11.2 old version. But there are many other AI models around.So I would be curious to know what kind of AI models new and experienced users here prefer - if they use them at all.Thanks.

Hi, In my section view I have created driven dimesnions. But When I switch the annotation tab at the bottom to standard view (Standard Alle) then in the drawing the dimensions dissapear.  In my drawing I have applied the section and I have also applied partly visible area  How can I dsiplay the dimensions ifor a section view in my drawing?I’m using Creo 11.0.1 

i Have PTC MATHCAD PRIME need a function to generate a cumulative sum sequence where Ui=0 and Ui-1 =0, iteratively calculating Ui+1 up to a 4094 rows , 1column vector. 

I recently got Fanuc option G93 for Inverse Time Feed installed on a Toyoda FH500J.  I am working toward a goal of having an edit free post for that machine.  Right now, I get several lines where an F0. is placed before a B rotation.  I end up replacing any F0. with a more appropriate feed rate in the G-Code file.  It works, but its not a perfect solution.The part that will be the first part I cut with this is a 12” cylinder with a helical swept groove.  It is a constant pitch.  I don’t know why there should be many feed rate changes at all, but the way the post writes it is with a change on almost every line.  Then there are the F0. that definitely need to be edited prior to running.Anyone else out there using G93 on a 4axis horizontal?  Any thoughts on what I am seeing?I am using a cutline milling path and a 1/2” ball end mill.  The groove starts at the top and bottom where the cutter basically makes a u-turn as it works its way down (helically) to the center of the groove.  The spin

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.9.0 This is not my exact problem but I think might help explain my problem. Imagine I have an assembly of a mechanical based clock. It is an assembly of many assemblies and parts within. Many layers deep. Various parts of the mechanism move and I would like to define several assembly positions. For example....I would like to load the clock assembly showing the position of all the external and internal parts in 12:00 position.....3pm position and say 18:15 position. The BOM stays the same. Can you provide some clues on how I might achieve this? For example, Can I use just simplified reps? Its the many layers deep which I'm struggling with.

Hello Creo 12 users,I’ve recently been having a problem with creating curves.When I go to Options for the curves and adjust the points, the curve jumps back to a different shape after I click OK.  It looks as though the points aren’t being saved.I’ve attached a video.Does anyone recognise this problem and have a solution?Thanks and best regards,Ramon Bohne(Siemens Energy)

Dear folks, I am looking for a video tutorial, workshop, pdf guide for Progressive Die Extension (PDX).Do share if you anything on PDX.

I am using Creo12,is there any way to “save the customized parameters filtered view” so my part, assembly or drawing always open to new filtered view by default ? only need to see our “designated parameters”.afer saving file, filtered view always reverts back to “default setting” - does not save my “new” filtered view. thanks,Rich

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 3.0 and DatecodeN/A print does not working.

Creo Version: 11.0.6.0DescriptionWhen opening a STEP file containing 5,000 unique cube solid bodies, Creo takes an unusually long time to process the file. The import never completes successfully, and Creo eventually becomes unresponsive and crashes.Steps to ReproduceLaunch Creo Parametric 11.0.6.0. Open a STEP file containing 5,000 unique cube solids. Wait for the import process.Expected ResultThe STEP file should open successfully without crashing.Actual ResultCreo remains in the loading/import process for a long time, becomes unresponsive, and eventually crashes.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.0.0 Hi, I know it's unsupported but I need to be able to download Creo 7.0 for our business to solve a problem. Can you please share me a link were I can download it? Thanks. BR Robin

Hello Team,-Creo 9 with Windchill.I'm looking to create a mapkey to quickly open a drawing of a room that's already open.I've done a lot of research and i can never find a working solution. please don't redirect me to an alternative solution.I know that a part can have several drawings or be included in other drawings. However, in my case, 90% of the parts created have only one drawing, which has exactly the same name as the part, with .drw instead of .prt.I've created a relationship: DRAWING = PART_ID+ ".DRW".I now have a parameter with the right value.Since copy and paste doesn't work in mapkey commands, is there a line of OS script code that you could put in a mapkey to say, open "parametre drawing"?I work in a company that doesn't allow third-party applications to be installed.Thank in advance.

I am using Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Release 20.1 and Datecode20.1.0.0 I am unable to open the CAD file using drag-and-drop. Here are the errors that I faced Stop sign

We recently installed a new server.I updated the FlexLM license server to the latest version compatible with Creo 9. I think this was just the latest version.I can no longer use ptcflush to clear out a license that is “stuck” on the server. The error message I get states that it can’t find the server. Specifically, it returns:lmremove: License server machine is down or not responding. (-96,7:11001 “WinSock: Host not found (HOST_NOT_FOUND”)I know the license server is running just fine, it’s supplying me with the arguments for the ptcflush command.I wonder:(1) Is ptcflush attempting to use a port to communicate with the server? A port that is likely not open according to our IT policies? Part of the server replacement was yet another tightening of access (can’t ping, can’t do a lot of things anymore).(2) Is there a character limit on the server argument of the ptcflush command? Our old server name was 12 characters, the new one is 16 characters. You know, for more security…The name of t

I have code that I have written in C using the toolkit on Creo Parametric 12.4.3.0.  It tries to connect to Creo using ProEngineerConnect(), and it works fine if Creo is up.  When Creo is not running it returns a PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND value, which is expected.  If I have the call to ProEngineerConnect in a for-loop my executable dies after the third try when Creo is not running.  Here is the call:iStatus = ProEngineerConnect("",NULL,NULL,"",PRO_B_TRUE,10U,&bRandom,&hSession);This code worked just fine using Creo 10, but is failing under Creo 12.  I am using VS 2022. 

Hello, I have the same request as this thread made a long time ago :Model Parameter = Today's Date | CommunityAnyone out there know how to set a model parameter equal to Today's Date?Specifically, I'm looking for a way to set the date of a parameter equal to today's date during the creation of a new part or assembly.There was a proposition to  add the parameter (&todays_date) into your template.I cannot make a parameter named “&todays_date”I created a parameter named “DESIGN DATE” with the value “&todays_date” in the part template. When I create a new part with this template, the parameter remains “&todays_date”.Is it me who does not make this right or is there another way ? 

HiIs there a way to create multileader line from 2 sides of a Note?  In my drawing it looks like this 

Is there a way to create multiple leader that comes from both sides of note? I wish to have lines started from both sides or at least from the bottom of the text.   Alternative solutions: I can create a note with leader on the left and attach "empty note" on the right side of the existing one and attach leader to the right side. But there is not a satisfied solution.  

Good morning to everyone, also if I am an old Creo-Pro/Engineer User this is my first approach to the community :-)Every part modeled in the sheet metal environment must be unfoldable in its flat pattern configuration; otherwise, I will model it as a non-unfoldable solid part, since I would not have the features and utilities of a sheet metal part.I opened a ticket a couple of weeks ago, but it seems there are not solutions.How can we scalate this issue to have a solution from PTC ? 

Was wondering if there is a way to mod or get mathcad to add geometric algebra (or Clifford algebra diff name) into mathcad. THis would include multivectors, the wedge product and the geometric product? Not sure if there is any modding of mathcad at all for reference  

According to the developer guide tkusetoc, this function supports passing a drawing view argument to display annotations only in the target view starting from Creo Parametric 2.0 M060. The official documentation states:From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, you can specify the view in which the annotations for the selected feature and component must be displayed. For the functions ProAnnotationByFeatureShow() and ProAnnotationByComponentShow(), specify the view where the annotations must be displayed. If you pass the input argument view as NULL, the annotations are displayed in all the views.However, during practical development, the function returns error code -9 (PRO_TK_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) whenever a valid non-NULL ProView handle is passed to the view parameter. When passing NULL to the view argument, all annotations are displayed across every drawing view as documented, which works as expected. My business requirement is to show feature annotations exclusively in a single specified draw

Hello, since a few days i can not get a licence for Direkt Express 8.0 Free. It had worked without problems before. The manual activation fails too with just an error message. A code is not generated. I have no idea wether the problem is on my computer or on the server site.   What can i do?        

Summary of the IssueCreo Parametric 13.4.0.0 is causing a catastrophic failure of the Windows graphics subsystem across every machine tested, including: University lab computers Instructor workstations Student laptops My personal workstation The failure is identical across all systems: initiating certain display operations causes a full backscreen eventObserved BehaviorAcross all affected machines: Entire display system blacks out All monitors reset No Creo traceback or crash log is generated System becomes unresponsive for several seconds Creo must be manually relaunched, unsaved work is lost. Crashes occur seemingly at random. This issue is present on my personal computer, laptop, university computers, instructor computers, and other student’s personal machines. 

I have a restricted value that if selected I would like for it to populate the description field in the parameter file, highlighted in yellow.
