3D Symbols size and location altering when changing the orientation to named view.

We want to know whether it is possible to print All or Range of Combined States or any API available to simulate Creo UI steps: File > Print > Print > "All" or "Range" from Combined States while printing solid model in Creo Parametric through Toolkit.

1. Is there any way to clean up the MBD 3D annotations(Dimensions) in 3D model in the same way like a 'Dimension cleanup' command in Drawing/Detailing?Also, Looking for any equivalent API(toolkit) or an algorithm that can be used to automate it?2. Is there any snap line option in MBD as like in drawing/detailing in creo to do manually?If so, is there any config option in Creo like(~auto_center_dimension_mbd) to set in 3D model for MBD dimensions?We would be glad if you could provide as much as info on this or / any of the workaround that we can tried on this 3D dimension cleanup activity.

In previous years i could easily log into Creo Elements Direct Express 6.0.  But for the last year or so it is very haphazard, and only can be accomplished by accident.  I can ask for a new authorization, which does not usually work.  And somehow I obtain a temporary ability to log in.  it often says "cannot access internet connection".  But my Norton 360 firewall shows access allowed for this software.  Please,, how to correct this.  I'm guessing it has something to do with windows 10, or Norton 360 security.  

Tells me I have reached the maximum number of licenses. I have prime 7 exress and would like to install prime 9 express. It keeps asking me for some license everytime I install the free version. I also cannot load the knowledge articles below. The links don't work, it jsut does some funny animations and does not load the community pages.

hi -I'm trying to plot a function but I get an error.Not sure how to construct this properly. Any help is very welcome. 

Hello,i have a question about custom symbol. is it possible to have a single variable text repeated?for instance, i have to use a text in both italian and english language but i have to use the same variable textex. ZINC PLATE \ZINC\ AND ZINCATURA \ZINC\Thanks!

I cant unbend this model due to some issue I done everything by changing the relative or absolute values also but no use. Please @TomD.inPDX help me with this sir.

We are currently using Creo 8.0.2.0, and when I double-click on a dimension to enter or edit the value, the prompt comes up and then immediately disappears (see attached images).  I have less than one second to try and enter a new value.    

General admin question:All Creo Parametric Installation and Administration guides have a section about the contents of the FlexLM license file and talk about EXTERNAL_NAME attribute in some of the license features. I attempted to edit my license file to use the EXTERNAL_NAME as described but it only caused the feature to become unavailable. Has anyone gotten it to work as described in the guides? Thanks!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0The scketch-dimensions are not editable, we can't modify directly buo only on the pop-up

Hi, we work with big assemblies and sometimes structure of the model is a mess.I want to find which part position will be affected after i change constraint of specific part(move). This is downstream example.Next case is I want to know which part placement will affect this part position. This is upstream example. How can i do it in creo? Thanks in advice)

Dear Specialists, I am a using Mathcad Prime 3.1 .Ink I want to confirm attached xmcd file, but I can't do my version. Could you please tranform this files? Best regards,Niko

Does anyone know what the problem is in this Mathcad 15 sheet using the linterp function.  I have successfully used it exactly this way before.  All I did was change the input data.Attached is the xmcd file: IEC HEMP E3 STANDARD INTERPOLATION.xmcd.This sheet calls another xmcd as a reference: POINTS PER DECADE FUNCTION.xmcdI have attached both files along with the data file. The error claims that the vector Time is not in ascending order.  You can see from the data and the plot of Time vs Time that is not correct.  You can also see that the more dense t vector is ascending and on top of the Time vector. Thanks for any help provided.

Hello all,    got some basic question about data management. Working in company without Windchill. System is based on chaotic subfolders structure and the same project is shifted between different workstations on external HDD Everytime when project is shifted to other person so he has to find path to lost data and retrieve objects. My question is: Does exists something like "relative path" for SEARCH_PATH config options: Example: //project/main_frame/   l know is dumm question, but praxis is like l described... Thx for any advice best regards @mbonka

Hi everyoneI am trying to automate a task, where the user has to select a sketch (that will be graphically shown using a GIF-Image stored somewhere), then provide certain inputs (namely dimensions) that will be shown on the sketch and then my worksheet will compute the results.  To provide an example, I could say:Sketch:= Square / Rectangle / Circlefor "Square" the input variable could be: a (the side of the square)for "Rectangle" the input variables could be: a,b (the two sides of the rectangle)for "Circle" the input variable could be: r (the radius).then MathCAD would take the input variable(s) and compute, as an example, the perimeter and the area. The computation is no problem at all, I can manage it with some ifs.  But the input variables, I do not know how to "force" the user to input all and only the variables that are needed for the chosen sketch (the number of this variables is around 8-10 in my real application, the geometrical sketches being slightly more

By default the size of a drawing view outline is determined by all of the geometry in a particular model, irrespective of whether that geometry is visible or hidden.   As a consequence for many models, the size of the drawing view outline is very large and results in drawing views being overlapped in order to fit views on the sheet.   The worst problem with the current functionality this is that drawing views will re-size and models appear to move around due to a change in the model. This is a problem because a cosmetic change in the model can result in a large number of views 'moving' and considerable rework to re-place dimensions, notes, annotations in their correct positions.   For example I may start with a drawing looking like this, the view outline is highlighted for convenience:   Then I will simply go into my model, add a sketch, and come back to my drawing which now looks like this:   You can see how the main view and side view moves down toward the

Is it possible to display a matrix as an image (as was possible in Mathcad 15)?

I've been running into a repeating problem with the output equations on embedded Excel spreadsheets.  The visual width of an embedded spreadsheet is limited by the width of the input and output expressions.  Because of this, I organize my I/O equations carefully.   Sometimes, I find that my spreadsheet is now wider than the page it is on.  If expand and look at the output equations, they are spread out and staggered across the page.  Not at all like I left them.  Blow is a screen shot.  You can see that they are plainly staggered wider than the page.It should look like this.Does anyone have any ideas what is happening.  This is a repeating problem across several documents with embedded spreadsheets. 

start at once to define functions for tensor calculus. This is something that mapple already does. Guys, don't fall asleep.Thanks.

When are you going to define the bit and byte unit? you cannot generate them from other units.Thanks

Well, the gamma function presents a problem in mathcad that makes it difficult at first sight to apply it to concrete problems in comparison with other languages like R or Python.This problem is that the gamma function in mathcad has only one parameter (it seems to me that their engineers do not corroborate their pre-made functions with wikipedia). The gamma function requires 2 parameters: 1) the shape parameter: s 2) the rate parameter: r.After racking my brain for many hours I came up with equivalent formulas in different ways:For probability density function (pdf):1) with the direct formula.2) adapting the density function given by mathcad:pdfgamma(x,s,r):=dgamma(x*r,s)*rFor the cumulative probability function (cdf) there are three ways to do this:1) define the incomplete gamma function and then calculate the cdf.2) use a serial form3) defining a new function with the one already given by mathcad:cdfgamma(x,s,r):=pggamma(x*r,s)Regarding the generation of random numbers the following

Is there a way to set drawing views to resize the view border based on solid geometry?  I've searched high and low and have not been able to find a solution so I decided to start a new thread.    The problem: when creating new views on a drawing Creo bases the size of the border on hidden geometry (surfaces or curves).  This often effects an entire assembly because of master surface references or sketches that are much larger than the part.     For a long time we've just clipped the view border by doing "partial view" and drawing a spline, but this is time consuming and not precise.  Defining partial views would be a lot better if it could be done using a rectangle rather than a spline.  I'm trying to streamline our process with updated drawing templates, but the huge view borders make using template-defined views unwieldy and can move the actual solid part way off the drawing.   Is there a hidden .dtl option or something that will

Could you recommend vendors offering Generative Piping design automation solutions for creating piping assemblies and drawings with minimal human intervention in Creo Parametric 4.0? Please provide details if anyone is using customized piping applications/extensions instead of the default Creo piping application.( Note : not default piping application & not spec driven piping method )

Use case: Depending on inputs of the excel component the amount of row will change. Issue: if the number of rows becomes lower, the previous value over the last row stays as it was. A mismatch between updated row at the top and obsolete one at the bottom happens. Analysis: It looks like the input parameters write values at given range into an existing excel object. All cells around are not touched. It looks like this excel object is embedded in the Mathcad file and saved with it. I haven't found any post in the Mathcad help or community concerning this topic. Workarounds:Open the excel component (double click) and delete within excel all the rows manually. Then let Mathcad calculate again.Always use the same number of rows and overwrite all the trailing rows with an empty string "". Request: Is there a better alternative using Mathcad functions to clear/reset all the content of the excel component to ensure that no trailing rows values or cell-formatting are left?
