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.

Hi there ,I need to do this check that F< fy ...I get the wrong answer .. can  you help me to fix it I don't know why I can't upload the picture here it is attached      

Hello, I'm not really sure how to label this one, but let me try and elaborate: Has anyone else experienced it where there is a delay/lag spike when trying to left click (select) anything in the graphics windows on Creo 11? Calling it a delay probably isn't correct, but Creo 11 (both versions 11.0.0.0 and 11.0.1.0)  just seems to "miss" some of my mouse inputs. It happens randomly when I'm either trying to add a dimension in a 3D sketch; CTRL select edges or surfaces of a 3D model; and also when trying to move balloons in drawings? Essentially left click/selecting anything on a daily basis will just randomly not respond and I have to click again. I always thought it was just me miss clicking but I'm noticing it more and more, and its not limited to a specific model.I have compared it to Creo 10 and it seems to be primarily in 11. I have tried:- Default PTC config- Different mouse- Multiple models 

I activate Mathcad Prime 10, using a License Key supplied by my employer (Wageningen University) where I work as lecturer, but after few days this key doesn't work anymore. When i try to use it again I receive the notification that I achieved the maximum number of licenses.The ICT supplied me other license keys, but the result is always the same: few days and I go back to the express version. I also reinstalled Mathcad Prime 10I think there is a problem with my educational account: giuseppe.olivieri@wur.nl. Can you check it?RegardsGiuseppe OlivieriWageningen UniversityThe Netherlands

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0How can we work with AI models to generate Mathcad worksheets?Is there a way to generate calculations with an AI LLM so it writes them in Mathcad format?Is there an MCP to connect Mathcad to AI models?

Hi Forum,   I have an *.asm assembly in Creo View 6.0, displayed in HLR mode as black and white line drawing. When exporting that view to PDF ("Save Current View as 2D Vector File" -> PDF), most of the lines are missing in the resulting PDF.   If I export a single *.prt part from that *.asm assembly to PDF the same way, all lines are shown perfectly.   Thanks for help on how to export also the *.asm assembly with all lines visible in the resulting PDF.

Hi Guys, Im trying to make a mapkey that makes a new file...with the same name that is currently up on the screen just with a -MFG at the end.  Example. Current file on screen. called N12345-1234.prtI want to make a mapkey that will create a NEW part file. Called N12345-1234-MFG.prt. (or what ever the original part name is on the screen with a -MFG added to it) Is there any place i can copy the current name from?  I tried in a few areas, with a copy / paste but the mapkey just copies the text..so the files are always called the same thing. (No good)  They all come out as N12345-1234-mfg.prt no matter what the original file is called.  Is there a way to use parameters when naming a file? Or anyone know of any other way to grab the current file name? Thanks,Jay

The attached file has two functions.  The top function work but will not allow double quotes in the second column of a text file.  The second function works to do that, and it works well enough.  Was wondering if I could improve it with a TRY... ON ERROR addition?

Hi PTC Community - I have two variable quantities (Water & Ammonia) evaluated over two different temperature ranges over which only they are each valid.I would like to plot both with a common x-axis range (-70°C to +370°C), and not be limited to either the T1 or T2 (MIN, MAX) range.See how the Ammonia (pink) plot is being limited to the MIN(T1) value of 1°C. See attached. I am using Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0. Your tips and suggestions for a fix will be appreciated. Regards,thodij

I am using Creo Live SimulateI've designed a spring and as a stand alone part has a stiffness of 56N/mm according to Creo Live Simulation. I have created an assembly with 2 of these springs in parallel on a mass of 8.4kg. I expect to get a natural frequency of about 18.4Hz, but creo simulate live is giving me a result of about 173Hz. It appears to be looking at higher order resonant frequencies and not seeing the 1st mode natural frequency.I'm wondering if this has something to do with the contacts (bonded) between parts in the assembly? What is the significance of the tolerance value in this context?I'm starting to lose confidence in the reliability of the software.

I received the trial email, but the download link redirects to the homepage and no trial appears under My Products.Please assign the trial license to my account or provide a direct download link.Thank you.

As usual, PTC makes it as difficult as possible to find them.  Nice, way to go.  A simple search should find it, especially in the "Support" (LOL, as IF) section.   Anyone know where to find that PDF?   Thx.   Edit:  I FINALLY found it.  Total PITA to find.

I have a small class project.  A number of students have bright blue lines shown on parts, but I do not.  We're all in Creo +.  The lines don't appear in the part view, just the assembly.  They aren't visible sketches, and I've tried hiding all the different layers and I can't make them go away.  What am I missing?
