Hello, I'm currently doing some parametric models/library models and I would like to know if there is any possibility of making a parametric model as it's done through relations and family tables but with downloaded step files. Because some of the models are pretty complicated and it would take a lot of time to make them as I want to, is there any shortcut for that? I read something about putting them all in one assembly and then creating a library from that but I'm not sure about it. Thanks for any help in advance.I am using Creo 10

Hi, This is topic is about the location points used in the cabling module.When there is geometry in front of a location point, you can't see it as it is 'hidden' behind the geometry. However, I would like to be able to see them just like you can always see datum points, no matter if they are behind / within other geometry. In that way, it's easier to spot & select them without rotating the model or go into 'edit segment'.Maybe even make it a quick toggle; 'show location points trough geometry' - Yes / No For example:I have a location point that routs a cable around a bracket. I had to move the bracket in to a new position. On that new position, the location point of the cable was located inside of the geometry of the bracket. I made a temporary copy of it's geometry to the harness skeleton. As I know there is a location point, I went into 'edit segment' in order to edit the location of the location point.It would have been easier if the location point was visable tro

Hello everyone, I have problem in Creo Ansys Simulation, every time I run the simulation with default setting always show message "Solve I Failed I 99% completed." even if running with simple part, and then stop not showing the result. Please help me, why this is happened?.This specs my hardwareHP 255 g8 Notebook, 16 GB Memory Ram, AMD Ryzen 5 5500u 2.10 GHz With Radeon GraphicsOS Windows 11Creo Version 9.0.6 & 10.0.3 The Error Messages*** ERROR *** CP = 6.031 TIME= 11:21:29An unexpected error ( SIG$SEGV ) has occurred... ANSYS internal datahas been corrupted. ANSYS is unable to recover and will terminate.Previously saved files are unaffected. Please send the data leadingto this operation to your technical support provider, as this willallow ANSYS, Inc to improve the program. 

Can someone help me? I have installed Creo 3 and Creo 10, on both it looks same. I can select the part but it is not visible at all, just a white window. jk

 Hello, I want to show current working folder files in UI with individual check box. Here I tried below code, but its not working. Any one has solution to this? void Assymode::StartAssy(ProMdl assyMdl){ProError status;ConvertParttoStep();return;}void ConvertParttoStep(){ProError status;int iDiaout;ProPath *files_list, *dir_list;int num;status = ProArrayAlloc(0, sizeof(ProPath *), 1, (ProArray*)&files_list);status = ProArrayAlloc(0, sizeof(ProPath *), 1, (ProArray*)&dir_list);status = ProFilesList(NULL, L"*.prt,*.asm", PRO_FILE_LIST_LATEST, &files_list, &dir_list);if (status == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR){status = ProArraySizeGet((ProArray)files_list, &num);wchar_t **model_names;char **strings;status = ProArrayAlloc(num, sizeof(wchar_t *), 1, (ProArray *)model_names);status = ProArrayAlloc(num, sizeof(char *), 1, (ProArray *)&strings);for (int i = 0; i < num; i++){model_names[i] = (wchar_t *)calloc(PRO_MDLNAME_SIZE, sizeof(wchar_t));strings[i] = (char *)ca

Having an issue with the solve block, most likely because of my little experience with Mathcad. I do have a function in the constraints, but don't know how to solve the issue. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. 

Hi, *** I attached a Mathcad sheet exemplifying the issue*** I have a variable j defined below:This variable can take values like [1], [2], etc. except when type is 12, in which case j=[0,1,2,...,11]My idea is that the user can select an individual type or select type=12, which includes all types from 0 to 11..When I multiply two vectors using j to access their elements, it works as intended:       The problem occurs when I want to store this result in a variable.  I want to get rid of those zeros and mimic the C_j * M1_j results shown above. I tried to create a another variable i but for some reason it gives an error: I wonder if there is a cleaner/easier way of doing this? Regards,    

Where I will find my sales order number for creo 10.0?

Is there a way to make a connection attivabile by relation?In the sens of a connection (gear or motor for example) that runs under certain situations and it doesn't in some others.Eg: if this distance is lower than X, then you don't work.   Thanks

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.3.0How to round a feature that goes from pocket to protrusion.

I have a problem with switching windows. When I attempt to go to another window.  It will attempt to activate the window and then switch back to the original window.  This leaves me with no way to actually get to that window that I want to work on because it keeps switching back.  The only manner to work around this issue is to hide or close the window that Creo keeps attempting to return to.  I cannot find a reason for this behavior. There are no active tools.Does anyone else have this issue?   

hello everyone,is there a way to show csys always visible as in Creo View?thanks

Hi,   I am a beginner in creo.  In previous cad software which i used (inventor and solidworks), I can easily isolate the components in assy environment, but in creo I cant find a proper way to do it. I search around the web, which I find a poor way which is: select the components you want to isolate --> representation--> master. But this method cant longer be used once you are in another simp representation mode. So please advice the fastest way or at least the efficient way to perform the 'isolate' function since me and my colleague use "isolate" function quite frequent when need to modify part feature in assembly environment.

I want to change the origin of my part to the opposite side? Creo/Elements Direct

Hi, We use Windchill and Creo 9 (will soon be upgrading to Creo 10. We also use Windchill for document management. In Windchill, each product has three main folders CAD, Promotion requests and Documents.When creating a Workspace the Context is set to the product root in Windchill and so is the Part Target Foler and CAD Document Target Folder. I know that I can manually go in and change the Part and CAD document target folder to the Windchill CAD folder. However, is there a way to, in the config.pro for example, to set the CAD folder by default, so that all are not directed to the root by default? Also that it will use the current context, since the context will change depending on the product/workspace.

Version : PTC MathCAD Prime 9.0.0.0So, I had a problem statement in one of my bridges where I had depth as varying (basically z coordinate value with a certain formula that could be followed).So, here I used a constant formula which could be used for all points of vertex needed in z cordinate which I defined as various variables that it picked automatically. And worked & I could get my function sorted. where I stored my variable values reading from excel which then used this formula for all z coordinates and formed as we move along x axis.So this basically is the solved oneNow, my new problem statement in which I am using my same sheets, is that I have different varying values both in y and z coordinate which will be reading from my excel sheet. But the formula is not same for each point of vertex or cross section i.e., y and z coordinate points (different formula).The y & z values have to use the formula's as below for each y & z coordinateNow, I have stored these variable

If I have Creo Elements Direct 20.3, can I set 20.1 as default file version?

Hello there,I would like to ask if its possible to change structure browser of Creo Elements/Direct modeling(20.5.1.0) to different color please. It is very eye tyring if used on daily 8-10 hours basis.I have managed to change Ribbon UI with command: (uib::win-set-skin-style :black). I tried to look through Creo files but couldn't really find clue for structure browser.This background of structure browser: I dont mind paying for this information, or if it requires some custom code creation.Thank you very much.    

Hello Everybody!Is there a way to  convert Creo 9 part file to Creo 8 part file with model tree?      

My company currently utilizes the Mathcad Prime conversion tool to convert Mathcad 15 files to Prime. We auto-generate .xmcd Mathcad 15 files by creating them as .XML text, and then convert them to Prime to open them in Mathcad Prime 9 since Mathcad 15 is no longer supported. Is there any plan to get rid of the Mathcad conversion tool in the future?? We really need to know if the conversion tool will eventually go away, as we would need to determine another way to auto-generate the Mathcad Prime files without going through the Mathcad 15 .XML files, then converting them to Prime.

Is it possible to set different thumbnail sizes for Model_3D parts and Drawing_2D drawings in Model Manager? At the moment I have thumbnails set in the Model Manager client preference page to be 1000 x 1000. This is a good size for 3d parts but makes very small 2d drawing thumbnails. If I make the thumbnail size bigger then the 3d thumbnails start to take up my entire screen when shown. Can I set them separately in a xml file or in some other customization file?

Hi, A new thing I seem to be running into:  Bubble Numbers now have constraints.  (When you drag them about, they now 'snap' to perpendicular, coincident, parallel, etc,,, and then have a constraint tag on them.. How to turn them off?  and hopefully globally, not just individually.. (Remember, I jumped from Creo 3 to Creo 9..)

I am trying to draft a certain assembly where I have to show a particular component at two different locations. One in solid outline and another in phantom line. For that, I have been using same component twice in the assembly and making one of it display in phantom line with Component Display feature in the Drawing. Is there any workaround or feature that will help me show the same component at two different locations as described above without a duplicate part in the assembly? (Attached an image where you can see the piston has to be shown at two different locations. I achieved it by using two pistons in the same assembly. Is there a way to achieve it by using a single piston in the assembly?P.S: Simplified model for understanding)

As per the original post.    could you convert this one to .sm? if it's not possible, at least for the .xmcd format.   thank you!!
