I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0Hello, I'm working on a project with several people, and everyone designes mechanically welded assemblies with AFX. It creates a part for each profile, each beam which is saved locally (only on the CREO session). Yet, when another colleague wants to open this assembly, no profile is found or displayed. Lots of parts are missing in the model and it's impossible to work with serveral people on the same assemblies (not in the same time).Is it possible to resolve this probleme so that the profiles and beams would be loaded regardless of the open CREO session?Thank you in advanceHere are the errors that I facedMissing modelMissing reference

Hello everyone,I would like to understand in Creo parametric how the .prt files that contain a copy geometry feature that has another reference .prt are updated.Why doesn't the son update when I open it, even if automatic regeneration is set?I always have to do it manually with CTRL + G or regenerate (I attach an image of the two objects opened from a clean session - first father then son)The version used is Creo 8.0.7.0I also tried with 10.0.3.0 where I saw these two new entries (regen_data_sharing_ref_models e retrieve_data_sharing_ref_parts) but even adding them with a value of yes did not change the result. Matteo.

Dear PTC Community,I am currently working on Creo Simulate to perform a FEA on a rain cowl assembly for different wind loadings and also to check if the current weight of this rain cowl assembly can be taken by the motorised louvers without failing (rain cowl assembly is mounted onto the motorised louvers with the help of bolts).I have defined fasterners and weld connections wherever needed but facing some issues with them as listed below:Issue_1: The perimeter welds defined at locations where the top part of the rain cowl assembly is being connected to the side part for example is not being taken into consideration and the solver says that it is taken as bonded idk why? Issue_2: The end welds along the curve for the same two parts of the rain cowl assembly are ignored by the solver idk why either. (It is treated as bonded there) Issue_3: Single element at the top left part of the rain cowl assembly shows an error (Can be seen when tried to run the own_weight static design st

Repeat-Last-Command (RLC) utility recognise last command used in Creo and allow to you start to use last used Creo command. Apply it with CTRL+SPACEBAR   For example: if you create a Datum feature you can crate new Datum feature directly with CTRL+SPACEBAR or in the Sketch if you create new Rectangle and you need to create again the new one - select CTRL+SPACEBAR and you can create again last command (Rectangle).   DONATE: If you find my RLC (Repeat Last Command) utility useful, please support me - Money donation will be nice 🙂 - DONATION button you can easy find on my "download" page.   Download RLC utility: http://4kside.com/en/download.html Good luck,Vladimir Palffy

Hello,I made a part using Creo's Sheet metal with image below.When I create an STL file and send it to our 3D printer, it makes it under millimeter only. Typically, it always ask if i want to convert to inches. When i load it into the 3D printer, it comes out super tiny and small. the problem here isn't the 3D printer, but the part itself.Even though i change the properties to inches/lbm/seconds. it still causes the same issue I have a big feeling it has something to do with this axis below causing this issue:If i build it from a solid model, it doesn't have this issue. I need to build this part under sheet metal, because it will become a sheet metal.Please help.thank you PTC community

If I have a vector A and B both with 10 elements. How can i create a vector  C that has the minimum values of A or B on each corresponding position.Thanks in advance !

I am trying to combine a few load cases (speed and loading combinations) into arrays (or matrix), see simple example of input and what I'd like to achieve. I know how I could use nested FOR to loop through the arrays but I don't know how to assign variables to get the end result. Or is there a different way? I hardly know anything about functions and programming in Mathcad. 

Hi, I have a MCP sheet that pulls from some matrices to perform basic calculations that takes over an hour to complete. I would like to improve this significantly if possible. I tried to rely on built-in functions (e.g., "lookup") when possible for calculation efficiency. The main calculation (image below) uses data from three matrices (36177x9, 2412x9, 1206x12) to perform basic +-x/ calculations resulting in a 216619x8 matrix. At the end of the sheet, there is some red text that helps point this out. File attached. If anyone has tips for how to improve calculation speed or is able to help me optimize this process, I would much appreciate it! Thanks!AndrewMathcad Prime v9NO multithreading11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1145G7 @ 2.60GHz 2.61 GHz24.0 GB64-bit

HiI am looking for a drawing format for academic use. mm, ISO, 3rd angle.I'm looking for format that templates of standard part and assembly template will be linked to parameters (DESIGND_BY and DESCRIPTION) Thanks

I've created a part model with lettering as a cosmetic sketch, and have been trying to export this part as a STEP file. However, whenever I open the step file, the lettering is completely missing. How can I ensure the cosmetic sketch lettering is visible on the exported STEP file?Creo Parametric v7.0.4.0

Dear Fellow Community Members, Please help me on this topic. I had created a BOM Table with Multiple Rept Region, But it is not Functioning Properly. Some regions are working fine but, some like Part Name, QTY are not working. Please suggest some work around or corrections.Thanks in advance

Hello, While opening one of my master assemblies, it is getting crashed in midway. could you please help. i tried new installation and updating the Graphics but none of them worked. the issue was not there earlier. br,Sandeep C.

Hello all, I'm just getting started with piping.  I found a tutorial through the help button in Creo, but I can't get back to it for some reason.  I managed to make the routing that I want, and I'm pretty comfortable with the interface, but I assume that I am doing something wrong.  All the pipe routes appear as lines, and not 3D pipe.  I created the Line Stock and checked the dimensions, but maybe I did something wrong. This is a series of 16" and 24" piping coming off a suction and discharge header. If you can tell from the screenshot, please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

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

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
