“What the water rig is at its core is a mobile water treatment technology, and it dramatically changed the lives of the people living on that site.”   Having clean, drinkable water is essential for everyone, no matter where they are. For some on-site workers on remote oil and gas drilling sites, this means transporting in large amounts of bottled water. The result is a large amount of plastic waste from the bottles and air pollution from the extra traffic.   WaterFleet provides an alternative solution. Their water treatment technology means that a mobile rig can be hooked up to an existing well or water storage source on site and provide people with clean potable water on tap. As the rig processes the water, it automatically and continually monitors the quality to ensure it’s safe. WaterFleet also uses this technology to provide temporary water solutions to areas that have been affected by natural disasters.   Our producer Eva Ruth went to the WaterFleet headquarters i

Does anyone know how to set symbol_font to legacy by default for new parts and assemblies? I have tried changing it in my config files but I can't get it to work.   The issue is, that unless both the assembly and or part file and the drawing file have symbol_font set to legacy, this strange offset happens to my diameter symbol:

In old Mathcad versions, the program performed calculation step by step, during the visualization of the page. Thus if you changed the value of a variable that was involved in a lot of formulas in the sheet, this action did not lead to a lot of calcs that you didn't need in that moment but only to the ones that you were interested in.Prime versions, perform all the calcs where the variable is involved, even those you are not visualizing and therefore are useless for you in that moment.This behaviour is strongly disappointing for long spreadsheets, where old Mathcad versions are much more satisfying.I wonder why this this behaviour has been changed moving from Mathcad to Prime. In any case Mathcad Prime, after ten years of developing is very far form the performance ad usability of the old Mathcad

I have a part model that is solid geometry. When exporting the part using STEP it generates the file but the STEP file does not contain any geometry when imported.   The part does not have any geometry checks and has absolute accuracy (1E-4 inches) set in Creo 7.07. The geometry is not what I would call complex.   I have been able to get around this issue by saving the part as a Creo neutral file, opening it as a part and then exporting it as STEP. This process yields accurate geometry in the STEP export.   The source part file will not export to STL either but there is no diagnostic info on bad geometry. Typically this would identify are where tessellation failed.   Has anyone else encountered this issue?    

Hi, guys. I'm working on the surface using the table pattern function in Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0 and an error occurred in this process.Excel fetched the location, length of the feature, and thickness data to extract and patterned, but some features encountered problems and the extrude did not proceed. After proceeding with the other random data again, I confirmed that the extrude was completed without any problems. Can I get any help with this?I attached the Creo file, Excel data, and config.pro file into .zip file. The size of the blocks is 51.5625 x 51.5625 x 4 in the order of x, y, and z [All length units are mm] Among the green parts of the image, except for the outer edge, the part that appears inside is the part where the error occurred.Sheet1 data was used in the Excel file, and it means the length of the feature from column A to the location where the extraction operation starts, the x-axis, y-axis distance, and the thickness to proceed with the extraction opera

I have an assembly with a few sub-assemblies. Each of those subassemblies are set to be of specific rep in the main assembly  (some are at Master, some are "User specified")  When working with the main assembly, when I right-click on one of those subassemblies in the model tree, and click on the pop-up menu "Open" - it brings a little window with the available reps, and I have to choose the rep that I want to open that sub-assembly in. I am hoping to find a way to open the _current_ rep by default. That is, if (from a model tree) I click "Open" on a subassembly which is set to be Master - that subassembly opens in its own window at Master rep. If I open another subassembly from a model tree of a custom rep "No Fasteners" then Creo loads that sub-assy activating the "No Fasteners" rep. There is remotely similar setting "open_simplified_rep_by_default" but it does a different thing. I am looking for something like "open_assembly_tree_component_in_current_rep". I

Hi, My goal is to clearly have the presence of external references in the part visible by having "Dependency status" column in the model tree. This way if i create an external reference in the part, this column would have "Dependent" written on it.  However, I noticed that if I create a new simplified rep in the part, then it automatically shows as "Dependent" in the "Dependency status" column. What is even more interesting - when I activate the Master rep, the "Dependent" status goes away; when I activate my new rep again - the "Dependent" comes back.  As per this article here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS67430 , the "Dependency" is always external. This makes me think that this may be not intended software behaviour, because I am creating a rep within the same part, and not initiating any external dependency. Could somebody please comment on why this is happening, and potentially how to create a custom rep in a part without having

Hi everyone, I have an issue regarding "plot_drw_to_pdf.ttd" in CREO Distributed Batch.Can someone please tell my the correct syntax for "STROKE NON TRUETYPE FONTS" in the TTD file?The default value for Font is:<font enum="PRO_PDF_USE_TRUETYPE_FONTS"/> I've tried various configurations like:<font enum="PRO_PDF_STROKE_NON_TRUETYPE_FONTS"/>or<font enum="PRO_PDF_STROKE_NON-TRUETYPE_FONTS"/>or<font enum="PRO_PDF_STROKE_NONTRUETYPE_FONTS"/>or<font enum="PRO_PDF_STROKE_NON_TTF"/> nothing worked.

As per the original post.    I am having a similar issue trying to install PROEStudent wildfire 3.0. The DAT file sent to me is not recognized by the install program as a license file.

So we upgraded from Creo 7 to 10. When we did, this annoying thing started occurring where this information window would pop up upon every regen. After a couple of days, it stopped doing it. But today it started doing it again randomly. I've tried turning off all notifications and changed the notification behavior to "Do Not Show", but it still pops up. Having to click the X icon every time I regen the CAD model is GREATLY reducing my ability to work... I don't mind having the little banner show errors and dissolving after a little on it's own, but having to acknowledge every pop-up during design is obnoxious and pretty much makes the CAD software unusable... 

Every time I open the model, the view changes back to "Shaded" even though I have "Shaded with Edges" selected as the default. I'm running Creo 10.

I am using Creo8.0 trying to run a thermal simulation on a simple block with a convection condition applied to the bottom. For the full simulation, I am planning on starting at 20C (also initial temp as defined in transient analysis), ramping up to 90C, then down to -35C. I keep noticing an initial dip in the temperature at the measure point at the bottom of the block for the first few minutes, which should not be there as I am trying to increase the temp from 20C to 90C, so it should not be getting colder at all during that ramp. I was originally using 90C as the bulk temperature in the convection condition, with the table ramping up from .22 (20C) to 1 (90C). I decided to run some tests where I hold at 20C using various bulk temperatures and table value combinations to better understand the table function tool, but I am still lost. Using a bulk temp of 90C and 6 table rows with values of 0.22, I am still seeing the temperature dip significantly (Test1). Using a bulk temp of 1C and ta

Hello Multibody community!   Welcome to this new post on the multibody capabilities that we introduced with Creo 7.0.Meanwhile, the first maintenance release Creo 7.0.1 had been released and it does contain several refinements/enhancements to the initial set of capabilities. Here a list of those enhancements: Boolean OperationsIn Creo 7.0, the “Keep bodies” option in Boolean Merge, Subtract and Intersect features was only available during feature creation. Now it is also enabled during feature Edit-Definition workflows Curve feature  You can now select a body (in addition to the previously available object types Quilt and Surface) when checking the “Place curve on surface” option. Data ExchangeThe “Import multiple bodies into one part” option is now available in File/Open (Unite) and ATB-enabled Import workflows Improved Body HandlingImproved body handling when a feature-owned body (e.g. a body created by split-body, import or data sharing features) gets deleted from the mod

When creating a new Exploded view of an assembly what controls the default explode behavior ?   What I am really after is a setting to be able to define quickly how far the toggle explode setting ripples through a Model Tree.  For example 9 time out of 10 on large assemblies it would be nice to be able to say explode 1 level deep only.   That way only the parts at the first level have there explode status set to explode and everything else is set to no.   It can be very time consuming hunting down the one component that has it's status set to yes in a model of 1000's of parts.

Hello everyone,I have some problems with Distributed Batch, I'm using PDF DRW MULTI PAGE EXPORT to convert some drws to PDF.But it fails then can't proceed, Here is the log file  

I am working to update a workflow to support designs specific to some variable manufacturing processes. To support this workflow accounting for growth/shrinkage of components in the design must be managed. To date I have used the mold design shrinkage feature on a part to change its size. This morphing reference part serves as a parent to other parts in the design.   Prior to Creo 7 I have managed this with the shrinkage feature and a notebook (formerly layout) to manage the relations controlling the interface of this reference model to dependent models in the design. It is worth all of the work to set this up to enable automated design updates but as one would imagine it is not trivial and takes quite some time to get it validated.   With the introduction of multibody modeling, I could potentially streamline this by getting rid of the notebook if I could scale a body in a part model. Shrinkage features cannot be applied to a body, so this begs the question is the warp transf

Dear friends, I created a new csys which I want to redefine the reference. ProFeatureReferenceEdit needs old & new references in form of array. but I have only one old and new reference.  Any possibility to convert one reference to array format?

Hi, i have the follow system of 3 equations i need to find the operating region for the system where vrd, vrq, Re, Le, Nc, Cdc and w are constant parameters, Md and Mq are parameters that i can change and i want to introduce in the system to get all the Isq, Isq and Vdc solutions. In resume, i want to vary Md and Mq and get the corresponding Isd, Isq and Vdc for each par of Md and Mq input, anyone can help me with this? i will be very gratefull. PD: Sorry if my english is not so good.
