I had to format a computer, logos after configuring CREO this option that follows print is no longer enabled, before formatting the machine was normal, and same license and everything.

Building stiffness matrix I needed a function to add one smaller matrix within a larger one. I've added some functionality to that just out of interest. Now the second one can be added or it can replace the first. It can also be fully or partially outside the first and the original matrix can either expand or the latter matrix can be cropped. Seems to be ORIGIN-neutral too. No guarantees, so test it first. Have fun! Mathcad is Prime 9.

For my school we are using Creo Parametric 6.0.2.0 student. I have done quite a few designs but have ran into a small problem.All the computers I am working with have the same version.I have saves as a .prt each time I do a few changes, and each file has like 14 saves.There are 8 different files in their own folders which are in one folder together.The problem is that out of the 8 different ones, 2 will load back into Creo 6 OK. The others just crash the program back to the desktop and saves a traceback log.I have tried on different computers including laptops and they are all doing the same.Other files are ok to use, it seems to be just these ones.I've even tried to load the first one of the same model with 14 saves and that does the same.Done a disk check - no errors. Checked a backup of each one on a removable hard drive and they do the same.Home computer is I5 8th gen, 1050 Nvidia card, plenty of ram and SSD space running windows 10. It seems weird that other files are OK

Hi,I am currently trying to do a simple contact mechanism simulation which is applied on a bouncing ball. I'm using a 3D contact to model the contact between ball and ground. However, I remark that there isn't any options to add restitution coefficient. Can you please tell me where can I add my restitution coefficient in order to make sure the ball bounces back upwards when it touches the ground. Another question, I found it's weird that the normal force of contact isn't coherent to the position of ball when it's in contact with ground (please view the graphs below). Normally the normal force should achieve a peak when the ball is in contact with the ground, but as you can see in 2nd pic, I only have a constant even at the contact time. Can you please enlighten me where did I do wrongly? P/S: the results below is achieved using 2D contact (cams), not 3D contact as mentionned above. 

hello,im trying to get best wey to round numbers with units like 5.123456789 V im using the function round(x)but shows error for units not compatible need to use the rounded value to show on summary resultsright now im using this functions to round and display the results   but this basically remove the units and convert my variable over and over to number and string, to be able to display it as result.as you can see below but i want to show that result is actually 3.33 V I also have calculations for current, and capacitance, so I need function to keep different used units. 

Hi,I'm defining a generic modular drw symbol.I have defined some of its lines and values ​​in groups to give me the opportunity to select as needed whether to display them or not.My problem is that, by inserting the symbol in the DRW, these elements are hidden/disabled by default.How can I set them to be visible by default?Thank you.P.S. I'm using Creo 9.0.6.0

My PVZ file was updated with replaced parts. The animation in my creo illustrate model does not recognize the new parts. The parts were replaced in the edit structure mode. How do I update the animation so that it recognizes the replaced parts?

Having inherited a model, I have discovered a failed annotation which I am struggling to resolve.  Creo flags a GTOL (gp9), as failed (for unknown reasons). This failed annotation doesn't show up in the annotation list, nor any of the sub-component annotation lists. From the notification centre, I can right click - Edit Annotation or Locate In Model Tree. Neither of these functions seem to do anything. The edit opens up the Geometric Tolerance feature but I cannot make any changes. Locate in Model Tree also doesn't show where it is located in the model tree. Where is this hiding and how do I show it/remove it? Pre-edit: while filling this out, I have discovered that 'Locate In Model Tree - Delete' deletes it and resolves my issue, however doesn't answer the question of where it was being hidden. Does anyone have any idea how one would locate a GTOL that has been hidden from the tree? Running on Version 8.0.4.0    

Hello, I am trying to create a mapkey that allows me to export a drawing as a PDF with the filename from a parameter I created. The parameter I created contains the part number and revision of the drawing being exported. However, when I copy the 'FILENAME' parameter, the mapkey appears to only copy the 'FILENAME' parameter from the original session. Is there any good way to copy a parameter from the active part while recording a mapkey? Thank you!Jeff H.

CREO Parametric 8.0.5 with  NC Complete. I am working on setup up work center for Okuma mill-turn. Okuma uses common variables instead of work offsets. Has anyone setup a work center like this before or have some useful reference materials/videos for this?  

I have a large and heavy assembly with a bunch of parts hidden in my PVZ view. I want to be able to open component parts in a new view and change colors and then propagate those changes to the window where i have my view with all the hidden components. If i isolate it in the main view with the hidden components and recolor (Trying to recolor individual surfaces, not entire part), I cannot get my view back with the hidden components easily.

I want to insert huge table with 1339 data in mathcad without using excel . I need the values to be in the mathcad sheet but I don't want to have many pages. Is that possible? I don't want to have 38 pages  Can I just show the first ten rows ?  

Hi, after reading those 2 topics :Solved: Switch Simplified Rep without redoing BOM Balloons... - PTC CommunityRedefine a master rep general view and convert it ... - PTC Community. I tried it in Creo 8.0.4.0 and saw that the "Default Rep" was not available in my drawings (example pics 1 / 2) whereas any other representation that I created were accessible. Picture 1 : View manager from my ASM file "A_SUPPV4854.asm" Picture 2 : From my DRW file "A_SUPPV4854.drw"  Is there any other way of selecting it without redoing BOM Balloons ? Thank you.

Has anyone managed to install MathCad 14 on Windows 11? I thought I had done it, but various things are not working. For example (this is from my from my Windows 10 installation) On the Windows 11 installation i =  produces nothing; i.e. no table.  

Hi, I have figured out how to borrow a license and to set it in my system valiable. I have a few questions: 1. How do I return a license before its due date? 2. If I do not return the license before it's due date and check out a licence for more time, for example.....will the first one I borrowed still remain borrowed for the time left? I guess what I'm saying is.....do I have to return the license back before borrowing another? I don't want to monopolize the licenses. Thanks, Wayne

I can hardly work a full day without bumping into one bug or another. I am forever trying to find workarounds to accomplish things. Today's big disappointment (embarrassment): On a Slack Huddle with a customer, we made some model changes on the fly. Then, they asked how that affects assembly weight. Simple enough question, right? No. How embarrassing I had to say, "No this high-end CAD system can't properly calculate mass." See Case 17244081. On some parts, Creo can't remember the assigned density, so my 58-ish lb assembly shows as 604800 lbs. I have to delete and reassign the material of certain parts frequently. I don't suppose all the advertising in the world will convince my customer to buy Creo now. They did have a good laugh, however. Use this thread to share your own horror stories. Yes, you can berate me for not using the tread appropriately. That's OK. It needs to be published. In spite of all the Tech Support calls they whitewash (instead of

I had Creo 8.0 installed on my machine, and I needed to install Creo 10, but my Flexnet wasn't compatible, so I had to remove everything and install Creo 10 again, but now it doesn't want to install Flexnet again, is there any way to do this?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM070When I opened the 3D model, particularly complex in shape, it ended up resembling radiation or an explosion, making it unusable. What could be the cause of this issue? Could it be due to insufficient specs on my computer? Please help.

Hello, I tried to download Mathcad Prime 7 but in the installationassistent the status of the application is "not permitted". How can I avoid this? 

I use the Compare Part, by Geometry quite often when making modeling changes.  Mostly with complex die cast models to verify that after I make a change, nothing accidentally changes.  When I un-click the “Show only changed areas” box in the popup window, select my spacing and tolerance, after it runs thru it, when I try to rotate, pan, zoom model, it moves very slowly and jerky, pretty much unusable.  If I check the “Show only changed areas” box then it will rotate, pan & zoom faster.  Problem is on our cast and machined castings, we designate blue surfaces as “to be machined” surface on cast models and red surfaces are “machined” surfaces in our machined models.  So when I do a compare and check the Show only changed areas, I have to be careful since we use the blue and red surfaces in our models. Is there anyway to keep the Show only changed areas box unchecked and speed up the pan, zoom, rotate the model after the results post?  If not, is ther

Hello,  I am using PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0 and really need to extract the all values of Sol Data of differential equations in Mathcad to Excel or CSV files.I can only do make the graph with the data.Your help or advice for the method will be very appreciated. Thanks

I am attempting to export a 1:1 scale view with no format to DXF for Router/laser cutting.  All exported through API Toolkit callls traversing assemblies.  Thats all working great.  I am using a dxf_export.pro file to map layers.  Which is all  working fine.    Some layers determine tooling options such as etching or determines that a punch tool is required.   The NC software is configured to handle the mapped enumerated layering.    Here is what the mapping file looks like.map_layer 7_ALL_COSMETICS 99map_layer 3_ALL_CURVES 99map_layer 5_ALL_CURVES 99map_layer 2_ALL_CSYS 99map_layer 8_ALL_ROUNDS 0map_layer 9_ALL_HOLES 0map_layer 3_ALL_AXES 0! the above layers are my Default layers set up in Creo Config.pro  years ago, in our Por_foundation rollout. ! the following layers are standard layers we defined for engineers to use to control map_layer COSM_PUNCH 6map_layer CURVE_PUNCH 6map_layer COSM_ETCH 4map_layer COSM

Hi all, A supplier has sent us a step of an assembly file that we will be using.I want to import it as a single part but when i do the assembly model looks like it loses its' constraints and 'falls to bits'. Any advice is appreciated.
