CAD

I had to install MCAD 14 on a new machine. To my great surprise, that went well, except that I cannot access QuickSheets. When I try, I get the message below. Can anyone help with this?  

I've been having an intermittent issue when applying datasets to objects in Schematics. I have my own datatable for connectors and have used this datatable in the past (as recently as yesterday) to apply datasets to objects in Schematics, but yesterday when I tried to set an objects dataset, I got the error:   ?msg_err@ >>>> error <<<<?msg_err@ Can not apply this dataset: at least 1 member is invalid: W501-P5!BP1 (No mapping)   The object is the "Plug" variable object included in the DemoDB and I'm having the issue in both block (BID) and wiring (WID) sheets... The weirdest part is that I have successfully applied the dataset to other Plug objects on the same sheet, but now I just get this error. I've started blank sheets and sometimes the same error crops up, and sometimes it doesn't (and sometimes it will work for a little bit and then stop working...).   Any ideas how to get around this?

Running Creo 9.  This one seems like a WTF miss... I have a drawing view that has long belts extending away from the rest of the assembly that I don't need to show.  Also on this drawing I have unattached notes next to all the sensor locations calling out the specific input that sensor feeds into.  I relate the notes to the view then decide that the belts could be trimmed by changing the full view to a partial view and BOOM the notes all move too.  Why on earth would "relate to view" be attached to some random arbitrary magical location that based on a made-up spline that 99% of the time you don't even see?!?  Please say there is a configuration setting for this like "relate to view location" that has 'Model Origin' as an option! Thanks in advance!Brad

I am exporting a STEP file from a metric assembly.  When I import the STEP file in as an assembly it imports in fine.  But if I import it in as a part, any parts that are not metric come in scaled down by 25.4.  Is there a config.pro or setting somewhere that I need to set to make everything import into a part at the correct size?  Example is below, the housing is a metric part and the plug is a metric part and come in scaled down by 25.4. Thanks!Ted

For large assemblies, the frames of the inserts are not displayed reliably.You can see this behavior clearly in the attached picture.Both anchor points were placed at the same height.If you scale the display, both frames are visible or only the right or only the left one.Is there a workaround so that the frames are displayed reliably?

Hello all, Is there a function that can be used to align the guide lines of callouts horizontally or vertically? In the attached image, I have only aligned the lines by hand. Unfortunately, this takes longer and is very imprecise.  

Hi, I'm using piece of code from UginterfaceExport.c located in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.5.0\Common Files\protoolkit\protk_appls\pt_userguide\ptu_interface\UgInterfaceExport.c. While building application I got below error,   Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol ProUtilWstrcpy referenced in function "int __cdecl UserNewShrinkwrapCreate(void)" (?UserNewShrinkwrapCreate@@YAHXZ)   Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol UserPromptUI referenced in function "int __cdecl UserNewShrinkwrapCreate(void)" (?UserNewShrinkwrapCreate@@YAHXZ)   What could be done to solve this? I explored similar questions in community portal and tried the solution, all didn't work. 

 is it possible to add Check-in comments in Creo Parametric through Toolkit        

Hello All,I have a query related to Method 3 mentioned in Article - CS33456 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS33456 Please see attachments. 1. dbatch_test_drawing-0.pdf -> PDF exported thorough CREO export option using profile (as per the settings saved in the selected Export Profile (*.dop) file).2. dbatch_test_drawing-1.pdf -> PDF exported thorough Distributed Pro/Batch using Method 3. PDF DRW Export based upon external profile option.Seems Distributed Pro/Batch is not reading DOP file as the pentable is not getting read ( dbatch_test_drawing-1.pdf)Also tried Article - CS325222 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS325222 Any help is appreciated.Thank you. Best regards,Atul Ghadge.

Hi all, first post!  My question is that the way we like our text within our tables to look is centered horizontally, meaning the box borer spacing above the text is the same as the spacing below the text.  When I select the 'Automatic height adjustment' box, the lower border is much closer to the text than the upper border.  Is there a way to change the "cell padding" around the text to center this?  I've searched for config parameters on this with no luck. Using Creo 6 (going to 9 this weekend) Thanks in advance!Brad

As per the original post.    Is there any way to use the existing model annotation and add a tolerance to its angle? Surely it should be this easy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fzz2cMiAZc

Have been working on a file for a couple of days, but crash resulted in 0kb file! Is it possible to recover/restore the file??

Do you want to learn about ProProgram? Here is the introduction tutorial:

I am having an issue accessing Creo 10.0. I had Creo 9.0 but had to update due to my files upgrading from 9 to 10 on my new laptop, so my old laptop running 9.0 could no longer open these files. I attempted downloading creo 10.0 using my schools access, however I am running into an error I do not understand, a screenshot is provided below. 

Hi Community, I'm using Creo Parametric 9.0.5., and my problem is that the auto scaling within the sketcher only works for me in parts, but I need to create some sketches in assemblies and this feature is not working there. (I have sketcher_auto_scale_dimensions yes set in the config.pro) Is there any solution for this issue? Thanks in advance!

According to article CS400725 Creo Parametric exits in many scenarios with tracebacks. Corrected in Creo Parametric 8.0.10.0, 9.0.7.0 and 10.0.3.0 So download one of these and one will never crash again. 😎

Hi AllI was trying to import an excel table, save in CSV_(MS DOS) format into my Creo 2 drawing sheet. The reason was that it's too hard to modify a designed table in the Creo drawing sheets.The error was that some columns have more rows that the other ones. Which is not true.In my file there are two columns, one with letters and the other with numbers, and there is no empty row. So I have no idea why it doesn't accept my excel file import.My idea was to always modify  the tables on the excel and re-import them to my Creo drawing

hello, I am working with Creo 4.0, and suddenly ran into a problem where snapping to sketch reference lines stopped working for some reason. it was working fine before. it will snap to vertices and points just fine just doesn't want to snap to lines.the error does not appear on other computers in my company. things I tried:1- I copied the config.pro file from a working computer2- reinstalled PTC parametric again.3- changed snapping setting from the file>options>sketcher menu (tried very high, high, mid)4- model accuracy to absolute 1.0   nothing seems to work and its driving my sanity to its limits.

Using Prime 9.0Hello,I have a large matrix of time and current data for 6 different channels. The even columns (0,2,4,6,8,10) contain the time data for the odd current data columns to the right (1,3,5,7,9,11) - Excel image shown below for visual clarity.I am trying to sum up the current data of the 6 channels into a 2 column matrix (time, current) adding the currents at the appropriate times. The time data is in microseconds with time steps of ~.006-.007 μs and the channels time data overlap with start times shifted by 7.5 μs. For example, Channel 0's time data spans from 7.5 μs to 41 μs, Channel 1's time data spans from 15 μs to 48.5 μs, and so on. I wrote the matrix data to an excel file and attached. Excel Image:MathCAD matrix:It's kind of hard to explain verbally, but basically the channels have time and current data that overlap, and I want to add the currents of the overlapping times accordingly. I have a user-defined function tha

Initially posted in this topic Hello PTC Community, I am facing a similar issue regarding the weld connections being ignored. Although, this thread looks very old, I was wondering if anyone ever got a solution for a similar problem yet by any chance? Any inputs are highly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hello All, I want information related to convert large amount of files approx 5000 to 10000 files from Solidworks to Creo Parametric.What will be the best option to do this? May be any batch migration tool or add in?Thank you.

is there a way to have a floating license and be able to remotely point to it ? would like to have creo on my personal laptop and be able to point to a generic floating license that is on our server AT WORK without having to team viewer in to my work computer FIRST and work thru my work computer. Seems to be slower going thru a third party approach.

Hello, I would like to pull the name of top level assembly name in child model or subassembly drawing. 

Hello!  Currently using 20.5.2.0. First time post from myself. I have been using CREO now for about three years, and feel like I have a pretty good handle on working with it. However, I am yet to find a way to create a render that has a .jpeg images attached to it.  I have a CAD model with a selection of labels currently shown as .jpegs on a work plane which I have attached to their respective locations on the design, however rendering doesn't recognise these images due to them being on a work plane.  Is there a way to attach these images to the CAD model rather than the work planes which will allow me to create a render with the .jpeg images showing?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Many thanks

Creo 10.0 ....while installing software i am stuck in step 2 ....even after I entered correct sales order number it is showing invalid file format .....how to solve this problem?
