Folks,I am using CREO 7 and I want to understand how CREO sums part weights to arrive at the total assembly weight. Is there code or relation that can be accessed to learn how this is done and where can I find that? Thank you.

I'm trying to create a custom view orientation. No matter what I do, I can only rotate the view orientation about the Z- and Y-axis, but not about the X-axis. When I change the numerical value either in the X- or in the Z-angle input box, the view orientation always rotates about the Z-axis and never about the X-axis. The attached screenshots show different angle values entered in the X- and/or Z-angle input box. It can be seen that the angle always changes about the Z-axis and never about the X-axis. 1. Start: X-angle and Z-angle are zero 2. Changed the Z-angle -> view rotates about Z-axis ✅ 3. Changed the X-angle -> view rotates about Z-axis ❌ 4. Changed both Z-angle and X-angle -> view does not rotate at all, Z and X cancel each other out ❌ 

Hello GD&T experts! I am using Creo 9.0.8.0 and I am working with the GD&T Advisor. I would like to do what is written in the help (see link below: section "Define Self-Referential Datum Features" is working with two different diameters for the sections of the shaft)The difference is that I don't want to use two diameters of different sizes, but two bearing seats of the same size (possibly with different tolerance zones, but Creo doesn't recognise this as a difference).https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r9.0/usascii/?_gl=1*124c2gq*_ga*MjA2NDk4NTk0NC4xNzE0NTcyMjQ2*_ga_7NMP2MSYPM*MTcxNTYyMDk0My40LjEuMTcxNTYyMTM3NC40MC4wLjA.*_ga_CBN5QVB9VJ*MTcxNTYyMDk1Mi4yLjEuMTcxNTYyMTM3NC4wLjAuMA..#page/model-based_definition/alternate_workflows.html# ==> "Define Self-Referential Datum Features" The workflow in the help creates a cylindrical group with two different diameters, to which I can assign separate references etc., but with two identical diameter

How can i manually create markup for View Changes Analysis?  

Hello, I want to set the section arrow to a view. The section view is already on the drawing.I tried this: ui::printMessage("Select view for the arrow!");pfcSelectionOptions_ptr opt = pfcSelectionOptions::Create("dwg_view");opt->SetMaxNumSels(1);viewArrow=session->Select(opt)->get(0)->GetSelView2D(); ui::printMessage("Select section view!");pfcSelectionOptions_ptr opt2 = pfcSelectionOptions::Create("dwg_view");pfcSelections_ptr sel = session->Select(opt2);pfcView2D_ptr viewSection = sel->get(0)->GetSelView2D(); wfcSequenceofSection2DInstructions_ptr instrNew=wfcWView2D::cast(viewSection)->GetSection2DInstructions();instrNew->get(0)->SetArrowDisplayView(viewArrow);pfcModel2D::cast(mdl)->Regenerate(); It doesn't work. Thanks for your help

Hi, I'm creating a mould of a lego minifigure for a school project. I created a silhouette curve to define the split line on the model but then when I tried to create a skirt surface it came up with a lot of errors because I don't think the silhouette curve has complete loops. Is there any simple way of fixing this? Maybe using a different operation to achieve the same result?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM080When importing .stp files (created in Creo 7.0 or later) provided by others, a "fatal error encountered..." window appears and the software crashes and closes.Here are the errors that I facedfatal error encountered...

I have created gyroid structures in creo and want to export it as a step or iges file to work in ANSYS, but if I try to do so, except for the gyroid every other part is getting exported. Is there a solution to this problem. Also I can export it as a STL file which turns out to be heavy, which is not feasible to work with.

Can someone solve this for Mathcad 15?

I need to install my (very old) Mathcad v14 onto a new PC. I need a license file for it. The "Mathcad License Setup" wizard fails to retrieve a license over the internet. How can I get a license for this old product?

Hi all,The advanced controls are a dream come true for me, but has probably opened up a rabbit hole of documentation. I added a textbox with the intent that users could enter dimensional strings in a user-friendly format like:10'-2 3/8"and the output would be an inches value of122.375 I'm having two issues, first being the output is a string "122.375" and not a numerical value, and ideally the value would actually be defined with MathCAD's units: 122.375*inAny assistance on how to get this working would be appreciatedfunction TextBoxEvent_Start(Inputs, Outputs) { // TODO: Add your code here }; function TextBoxEvent_Exec(Inputs, Outputs) { var input = TextBox.Text(); // Get the input value from the first input var inches = parseDimension(input); // Convert the dimensional string to inches Outputs[0].Value = inches.toFixed(3); // Output the value in decimal inches to 3 figures }; function parseDimension(dim) { var parts = dim.split("-"); // Split the string by feet and i

In another post I asked a feedback about the development of Matchad Prime (MCP) v.10 as compared to the previous versions.  Up to now I kept my Mathcad (MC) 11  - the first "love" in this field of software - despite the problems of running it in the new OSes. Apparently its seems that MCP is not near (for a general math user) after 10 versions to what it was MC 10, i.e. Mathcad 2001i (the preceeding version of MC11). I was also told to give a try to MapleFlow (MF), given the fact that also MC11 hides a maple symbolic engine. So I did in a backup computer with v.2023.3 - the latest. As already observed several features of MC are absent in MF. For instance it does not have a alignment option of formulas, as MC11 does (see picture). Moreover, I did not find a list of functions, that are instead directly accessable in MC11. At the same time, MF shows a feature that I greatly miss in MC 11: a list of assigned variables in the worksheet. I guess also its symbolic engine i

I didn't find any interface related to the Create_balloons function in my API wizard. I use Creo Parametric 4.0 version, I am trying to use VBAPI to create balloons by view automatically . Is there any interface can help me with that? Or other ways to take me there. 

Hi experts, newbie here. Is there a way for me to program this, where when f(x) changes sign, it automatically stops solving. Thank you so much, any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi there, I installed the student version of Creo 8.0.4.0, I know that I do not have a cutting-edge computer to run some of the extensions of creo such as creo simulate live, creo render studio and others... that is why I just installed CREO PARAMETRIC. However, when the installation was done, I got the message INSTALLED WITH ERRORS, I opened the message to see what the error was and it showed: your computer doesnt support creo simulation liv ( I said it doesnt matter because I did not installed that extension) as I said before I just installed creo parametric. Therefore:1. I opened Creo to start getting familiar with the software, I clicked on CREATE NEW PART, then I scrolled up and down on the drop-down menu to select a TEMPLATE (I think it is for units selection) BUT I could not be able to select the template I wanted, it automatically asked me to select a template again, I TRIED to select a different one but nothing, then I DECIDED to click on and selected EMPTY and it worked,

Hello all,  I'm looking for a way to set a default option for number of decimals shown in a drawing dimension. The obvious answer here is to change the config option default_dec_places, which will achieve my goal. But the problem is, that also changes the dimension decimal places in a .prt sketch as well. I would like to have these two dimensions decimal places default to different numbers. See below.   SKETCHER - .XXXXDRAWING - .XX Is this possible?  Thanks,Kevin

We are doing trivially simple analyses in Creo 9.0 Simulate (Not Simulate Live...) and we are consistently crashing the computers.  (Problems taken from or similar to exercises in an SDC textbook.)  See the attached for the specifications on these computers.  I have some students that know a lot about using FEA and they are not having any more success with the classroom computers. What might I (the instructor) try, to stop these crashes?  Do we need to upgrade our computers?  I suspect this is true.  However, are there things we could change/try on these computers that would help?  (See the attached pictures, which I believe have sufficient information for people to comment.)  https://prodart.pl/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/creo9_hardware_notes.pdf This link seems to say that Dell computers with AMD graphics are NOT approved?  And it appears that these computers have AMD GPUs and are Dell computers.Any input I can get would be a

Hello,I have these points: How to calculate each colored area from below plot made with above points?   Mathcad Prime 9 fille attached.

I  am having trouble creating properly dimensioned drawings of compound miter cuts on HSS square tubes. The annotations are difficult for the shop to interpret. ( see picture attached) So the next best thing is a pipe wrap template that the shop can use to mark the tube for cutting.I've had some luck:1. converting to sheet metal and then making a flat pattern drawing and exporting to DXF for laser cutting a marking template and also2. some luck creating a surface wrap and unfoldng that as well. Neither one is ideal however, and both were found by accident and not easily repeatable. Furthermore the "convert to sheet metal" method was irreversible so it requires making copies of all the tubes in the model which is a royal pain when there are more than a few parts.  

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0We have three older Mathcad files that Mathcad 9 is not able to convert for some reason.We receive the message "Conversion failed. Unexpected error encountered during conversion." We are then provided with incomprehensible text files describing the issue.Can someone try converting our files for us?

Hello, I am wondering if there is a method to use Distributed Batch to backup drawing files (and all associated assembly + part files) to a directory ? I attempted this using the mapkey.ttd and then including my config.pro containing a mapkey that recorded: Save a backup (while in a drawing file) > OK > Yes to the two prompts that appeared. The error I receive in the log is [-4] Error: Incomplete input data. The manual information suggests that this is due to required dependents not being retrieved, but I haven't been able to find a remedy for this (if any). The mapkey sequence itself is as shown, as runs as expected in Creo Parametric. mapkey bk @MAPKEY_NAMESave backup to working directory without prompt. For \mapkey(continued) use with distributed batch;@MAPKEY_LABELInstant save backup;\mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;~ Command `ProCmdModelBackup` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_saveas` `Current Dir`;~ Activate `file_saveas` `OK`;\m

Hi, we are looking to implement a custom fastener library using IFX in our department. It will require customisation of all fasteners, forming new file names and assigning custom parameters. On the positive side, I think I can find all of the required types of fasteners in default IFX library, which makes building a custom one much easier. I have tested it for a couple of weeks with building a couple of custom fasteners and it went almost flawless.  Now the question is - what unforseen challenges may arrise during development and using it? As any other system, there is something always to learn which is difficult / impossible to forecast, but would be great to know before we spend effort developing the custom library and start building assemblies with them. Just to demonstrate my point - a reference example for issues with Solidworks Toolbox would be:- Solidworks doesn't always import the excel files correctly to build the configurations- Solidworks toolbox dat
