Hello, I've searched here and there for information before posting. Is there a way to export transparent background png (or whatever format) image files from illustrate? Or even set the background as "no background" instead of a colour? This would avoid the need to go through Photoshop to delete the background.   Any answer's appreciated Thanks in advance

Hi all, Wanted to know the best practices while running simulation on homogenized lattices. How do i accurately input the anisotropic material properties?thanks

I created a wire spool. I routed a wire using the spool. When I go to edit the spool, save is greyed out. It's new, so its not a permission thing-I think? I go to add and remove columns and I can't save it. What's up?

productkey won't activate,I got my Activationkey from my school on the 09/02/2026 (it is valid for a whole year) and tried to download mathcad for several times now please help i need the programme to finish a school project

I'm looking for a Creo expert (paid if needed) to assist me moving all my customizations to a new PC.A back and forth thru this forum/emails is not workable for me. I need someone to connect to the PC then resolve all issues preventing my Creo customizations from working on the new PC. Old PC with working customize files = Creo Direct Modeling 20.7New PC that these customizations do not work on = Creo Direct Modeling release 20.8 Thank you for your help.

Hello, We have one assembly drawing, and it has 4 components in part table. These 4 components are having multiple part numbers (Likewise family table A123Z_G (generic) A123Z01, A123Z02....A123Z150) Also it has variants like Different pipe size (0.5", 1", 1.5", 2" etc) Different weld type (like fillet, v-groove type, bevel etc.) material (Mild Steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum, Bronze etc.) By considering of these much of parameters and some more, we need to create one master data table in creo drawing which will be working by drop down option and the final output part table should be viewed  on main drawing sheet basis on selection of drop down filters. This is just like a complex excel sheet which has master data, drop down filters and one output tab which shows the exact result based on drop down selection. Do we incorporate the master tables, Drop down tables and Output tables in Creo drawing?

How to bring .xls table in Creo10? Is there a simple way to do so. I have a big BOM i am working on and ita a pain to copy paste: )      Thx in Adv! Creo on Fly!! 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0I would like to create a new oriented view with an isometric orientation.Currently, the default Isometric view has the Y‑axis along the upper side.I want to rotate it so that the Z‑axis is along the upper side instead

Greetings, Not sure if this is a Windcill or CAD file or network issue. Has anyone ever had issues opening files in Windchill but another person does not? I have cleared cache, cleared workspace, reset Windchill and still not able to open. One thing to note: We work on different networks that I guess tap into a shared Windchill. This may have something to do with it? I have seen problems with syncing checked in/checked out files. If so, what fixes the problem? Wayne

Hello, I use Python to extract data from Mathcad Prime files, based on the previous post below. One thing I noticed is that our Python tool will crash when you have a new line in a text region. Getting rid of the new line in the text region gets rid of the crashing issue. When I go into the Mathcad .zip file with all of the XML data, I do not see any difference between two files - one with text with a new line and one  with no new line. Where would I find the new line data in the text region? I will update the Python code to catch new lines, but I dont even see where the new lines are in the text region.    Mathcad Prime 9.0 Scripting with XML Data - PTC Community

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.2.0Good morning, when uploading the new releas and the new license file, I get an "inappropriate" error. I should point out that I also downloaded the latest license file.

I created a script as shown in the image and saved it as a .lst file. I also referenced the same file in config.pro. However, when I create a new parameter in Creo, the dropdown list does not appear.Please help me resolve this issue. Note - I also tried with .txt file instead of .lstCreo Version - 11.0.5.0

I am using Mathcad V15.  I have started playing with using controls in some of my sheets to limit certain variables to having only certain inputs.  In my one sheet, I added a list box control for a variable, and the only choices the user could select would be "B", "C", or "D".  When I finished my sheet, I set the variable to selection "C", saved and then closed.  When I reopened the sheet, the selection of "C" for the variable was cleared.  Is there a reason why the sheet did not retain the selection for the control?  Is there a setting somewhere that I can change that will allow the selection to remain?  Thank you!

how do you modify imported Kennametal boring bars to work in the simulation section in creo manufacturing. i dont know where to start on how to get tool to work

Hello,I use Inspect geometry/Shadow analysis. But now I need to create an envelope of the shadow when the light direction change. Is there any way how to do it or get the envelope geometry? I know I can dynamically update the shadow when I drag light dimension, but I need to change concurrently 2 or 3 dimensions. I use Creo 12 Thanks for help.Best regardsMichal

This problem has really been frustrating me for quite some time...When I create a drawing and insert a view then select the display style to be "no hidden" it usually hides all the hidden lines no problem.But when I enable a section view that is when a whole world of problems occurs.Certain objects don't seem to obey the hidden lines, and they still show all their lines. Specifically it seems to be quilts or something that is having this problem because it only the objects in pink/purple lines that have the problem. I just find it so strange that this only happens with section views.Anyway, I tried editing the section itself by checking off the "Include quilts" option, but that just removed the components entirely rather than just removing the hidden lines.Someone please help me figure out what is going on here.I've attached a photo of the problem. It shows my layout with the section view enabled. you'll notice there are cabinets that are pink which are showing all their internal compo

Happy New Year!   This month’s challenge is inspired by recent events: the October 2025 Louvre heist in Paris France.   Using Mathcad Prime, solve any or all of the following challenges: Challenge 1 (Polygonal): find the minimum number of guards necessary to cover 100% of the following polygonal space. To be unobtrusive, the guards must be placed at vertices. The guards are inside the museum. Assume that the guards can turn their necks and bodies to see everywhere around that point that is not blocked by a wall. The guards have excellent vision and can see everything clearly between them and a wall.     Challenge 2 (Graphing): using the plotting and charting capabilities of Mathcad, depict the placement of the guards and their zones of coverage.   Challenge 3 (Orthogonal Variant): find the minimum number of guards for the following art gallery.     Challenge 4 (Graphing): Depict the placement of the guards and their zones of coverage for the orthog

Hello, I am trying to model a retracting pin which allows a spring loaded mass to drop freely in the z-axis using Creo 8+. However, I keep getting the following error: "3-D contact in model has encountered an error:In a cylinder-cylinder contact, the rectangular contact patch is invalid.This violates contact-patch assumptions related to Hertzian compliant contactcalculations." As far as I can tell, there is no interference in my model, no erroneous material properties, etc.  I have been using dynamic analysis for this, and the pin is removed using a translation servo motor. The mass is constrained in the x & y by two pin constraints. I do not have friction enabled, nor gravity. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated! I have already tried changing the contact to a point-cylinder & decreasing the contact radius of the point. 

Community,   I have imported a complex model that is made up entirely of quilts, and of course, quilts have edges.  After importing the model into Creo 6 and selecting the No Hidden icon, all the lines still show through like a wireframe display.  I cannot display the model online, but no matter what combination of system colors I try, they always show through, even with Black on White.  There is nothing in the layer tree to turn off, it's all quilts.  Has anyone encountered this before, and is there a solution?  Thanks in advance.
