My tutorial showing how to use Creo to sketch over images with sketched regions.https://youtu.be/hFSoX5C06Ts?si=lCf7euesYifsPwl3

Even though I have declared two values for all variables that are iterative Mathcad Prime 8 is still pushing this error "Ranges with units must specify the second value in the range", please advise and thank you!  

We've been having a bit of trouble allowing offsite folks to be able to access licenses for Creo (we're using V9.0). The IT folks have tightened up access to the network, and thus the random assignment of ports that is normal for the ptc_d daemon is not working well. lmadmin is okay, because that is at the "standard" 7788 port. I'd seen posts on these forums implying that I could add port to the end of the DAEMON line in the license file and that it would thereafter use that port for the ptc_d daemon. I did this, with 7799, but it doesn't seem to be having any effect. Is this the correct method to specify that second port? It deviates from the method suggested by Flexura, but I figured this is PTC and they have their own setup for licensing. Am I wrong?   P.S. I know it is possible to set up the firewall to allow communication with ptc_d.exe and lmadmin.exe, but I'm just looking at the port issue at the moment.

Buenas tardes estoy programando una hoja de calculo que tiene que ver con operación de matrices y tengo un problema de operación. Por favor si alguien me pueda ayudar a resolver este inconveniente. la versión es Mathcad prime 8.0Gracias anticipadamente. 

Hi all, I am working on automating few flows in Creo 8.0.3  using jlink.Is there a way to identify if a model has been modified in creo? I have tried few apis provided in jlink toolkit documentation - GetIsModified() and GetVersionStamp(). Although the output of these methods depend on 'save' action triggered by users. I am looking for a way to track changes in files since the beginning of the session and to identify if any modification in sub-assembly or components changes the parent assembly as well.  Java provides a way to track file changes in a directory using WatchServiceI am successfully able to identify if a sub-assembly or its parent has been modified by registering the workspace and track changes using this method. Are there any limitations to this approach? And is this how creo tracks changes in a model? Thanks

PTC CREO parametric version 6need to flatten the flightI modelled flight screw in CREO parametric with variable pitch it has revolution of 810 degree. for manufacturing purpose I need to flatten the screw flight. I tried full flight screw to be flatted by using flatten quilt, it failed, again I tried to flatten first 360 degree it was flattened but I did not get exact dimension in flatten quilt. is there any way to do the model in sheet metal or part modelling I attached image for your reference. I did not  get exact dimension it differs with flatten quilt and helical screw. 1.unflatten quilt2.flattent quilt   

Hi, We try to get outline curve length. (outline curve mean highlight in picture) Our solution is simple.  1. create section 2. get section curve 3. get curve length   But, section curve have all curve. We do not need inside curve (highlight in picture)   Please give me an idea if there is a better way.   Thanks, Wram Regards. SeonHo CHA.

As per the original post.    Getting same fetal error and have attached error code.

Software:  Creo 9.0 I have an assembly with a rotating component. Other users want to open CAD assemblies with depictions of this component at its limits of travel. There is also a need to calculate the CG of the assembly with the component at its limits of travel. I am aware of "Explode State", but there are two reasons why it is not a complete solution: 1) the other users have minimal training and are not aware of how to activate or use the Explode State function.2) the need to calculate CG of the assembly requires that it be actually positioned at the limits of travel, and Explode State is only visual. I can use Family Tables with the component positioned using Angle Offset, but I can't figure out how to get Family Table to affect dimensions of lower-level assemblies.  The result is that the bearing housings on the component rotate as well and are not oriented correctly. How would you suggest I resolve this issue?  The greatly-preferred method

hello everybody, we are using FLEXNET PUBLISHER 11.19is it correct that PTCSTATUS on server machine is not showing IN USE license even if they are used by users?ptc_d.log shows license as INACTIVE but the licenses are in use by designers.thanks   

Creo Version: 9.0.2.0Windchill Version: 12.0.2.7  On the Uses tab of Windchill's part structure browser usually the Unit is set to 'each' by default and the Quantity shows the number of parts on the direct sub-level of the selected part.  I want to be able to change the Unit to e.g. meters or liters via a Creo Parametric parameter. So this parameter would be defined on the component level of the assembly and then be passed to the WTPart by defining global attributes on both EPMDocument and WTPart. I also want to propagate the Quantity variable manually via a Creo parameter.  How would I do this?

As per this thread - same problem   Yes, I can confirm that this issue is present again in 8.0.1.0 Oddly, the scaling seams only to appear, when a browser window is pop-out (e.g. you click a link, that opens a new window with Windchill). But this instantly scales also the content of the docked window. (before and after) I tried the solution/workaround described by llie, but unfortunately this did not solve the problem.

Pls help me in any automation of a 3D model using Excel analysis option while working in workspace (online) with linking to a excel sheet located in local drive.    

We have created custom material as per our company standard, we tried to call this material description in drawing note. We have the syntax note &ptc_material_name to call the name. Is there any syntax to call description?I also tried &PTC_ASSIGNED_MATERIAL:att_body but it gives result as PTC_MASTER_MATERIALKindly go through the attached image and let me know how to find the syntax code for this highlighted cell.If I could able to find the syntax note for particular cell or column, it would be helpful for not only in materials but also in working on dimensionsThanks in advance.   

Is there a good way to remove the borders without an outside software? I'm trying to upload a DXF to a vendor auto-tool, and the border of the drawing sheet is giving me some trouble.Reference topic link - https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Exporting-to-2D-dxf-filed/m-p/915413#M132330

I have created a mapkey in creo and need to call in using VB APIThe ipfcsession.RunMacro() requires "MapKey Value minus shortcut and name" to be passed as argument.Where to obtain this mapkey value for a mapkey i created in creo?The documentation says Tools->Options but this is very less detail..i cant find any in options dialog box   

I am trying to find the min/max value at each index across 2 matricies.The min/max function finds the smallest/largest value across both matricies at every index, which is not what i want.. PNG and mathcadfile attached for clarity. I am using mathcad prime 9.0.0.0. I have tried several syntaxes (shown in the attachment), but to no luck. Does anyone know the syntax for this? Cheers,Sebastian

Creo 9.0.7.0   ***Disclaimer - (I know) do not put features in an assembly*** But, ... I am putting a bolt clearance hole in a 2" square tube assembly. I thought that I used to be able to specify a depth of the clearance hole, but now my only options are (1) through all and (2) to a reference. Since it is a tube, I do not want to go all the way through both walls.   Did something change or am I missing something?    

Hello All,   I have setup custom .hol files to control my hole notes for standard holes.  I am using the &PATTERN_NO to show the number of holes.  I have two issues that I need help with based on my picture, &PATTERN_NO is my first parameter in my hole callout format:     1) Is there a way to have Creo omit the pattern number if there is only 1 hole?  If I have only a single hole, I do not want 1X to show up.  I found an old thread from 2018 about this, but no one gave a final solution.    2) Is there a way to get rid of the space between 1 and the X shown in my picture.  If I remove the space in my .hol file after &PATTERN_NO, it doesn't recognize the parameter any longer and my note will say "&PATTERN_NOX".  Per ASME Y14.5, there should not be a space.   Thanks

I wrote a small program to simulate astro dynamics.The program crashes (program terminate and disappear from screen) when I increase the number of iterations and celestial bodies. No error message! Can someone help? I can share my program. Thanks Serge

Hi, I am creating a design for a box inspired from a drawing. I have been trying for a few hours but have been unable to create a handle, a bend in a normal part like the one shown in the image below. I have tried tuborial bend but it has been quite confusing and unsuccessful. There were no YouTube tutorials on this or anything in PTC university. It would be great if you could help. I have managed to do a lot but am now stuck on this. It is meant to be a leather type material which you can imagine bending. Do not worry about the material as right now I would just like it to appear as a handle which you can grab the box with on the 3D design. Your help would be greatly appreciated.  Best, E.

I have a sheet metal hsg with a lot of components assembled in relationship to it.I am creating a family table assy and replacing the main hsg with an instance of the hsg (family table).What will be the best way to retain all the components used in my second family table assy that were originally  assembled to the generic hsg without assembling them to the instance hsg?  TIA

Hey everyone, wondering if you've seen this issue before and know how to fix it. I searched and didn't see the same issue on the forums.    When creating a note with a leader and then going to annotate and creating a geometric tolerance callout, I can take that and hover over the leader note and click it and it'll snap into place under the note as seen in the picture below. We've see this changes the note from a geometric tolerance in the detail tree. It essentially becomes a GTOL callout with additional text above the callout. This is how we want it to look.         Last night Creo started doing this. Same note creation, same Gtol placement, but instead of snapping it below the note, it snaps it at the end of the leader line and keeps the note a note and the gtol a gtol without combining them as shown below.    Has anyone seen this happen or know how to get Creo to automatically do this correctly every time. 

I have an assembly which has several parts/sub assemblies. I want to get a complete bom table that i can import to excel. The problem is that some parts are shrinkwrap of an assembly and i want to list out the parts in those assemblies. I do find all the parts in the reference viewer but i manually need to expand the reference viewer and so far i have not find a great way to do this 🙂 When i do expand it all i get out this:  Reference #1: CENTER_V -> 0265-0413-16.PRT -> SIDE -> Surface id 2 Reference #2: CENTER_V -> 0265-0413-16.PRT -> FRONT -> Surface id 7 Reference #3: CS0 -> 0265-0413-16.PRT -> FRONT -> Surface id 7 Reference #4: CS0 -> 0265-0413-16.PRT -> SIDE -> Surface id 2 Reference #5: CS0 -> 0265-0413-16.PRT -> TOP -> Surface id 5 Reference #6: External Shrinkwrap id 32 -> 0265-0413-16.PRT -> 0265-0413-14.ASM Reference #7: External Shrinkwrap id 32 (Copied Ref) -> 0265-0413-16.PRT -> 0265-0413-14.ASM (
