Hi,  Is it possible to download ISO fit tolerance tables from the community, or where can I find the correct format for creating them manually? In my case, the folder is empty.  Thank you!

Currently using Creo 11.  I've found some posts, but no solutions.  Is there a way to automatically show external cosmetic threads in their typical format such as 1/4"-20 instead of 0.250-20?  There was a post from years ago about editing the .hol table, but this method doesn't work as somewhere along the line PTC changed the format of the hole table.  Now in the table, there is only "BASIC_DIA".  If you edit the table to say 1/4 or "1/4", a value of 0 shows up in the hole note.

I am trying to compute the equivalent annual percentage rate (APR) for a series of variable deposits with variable returns.Using the “find” function results in the error message “No solution was found...”. I tried opening up the TOL value, that didn’t help. So I tried the “minerr” function next and a different error message is displayed “Indexed assignment...”, My questions are:Which of the two errors is relevant? Can I solve equations with indexed constraints in a solve block?MP11 file is attached.Thanks for your help,

We're interested in SmartAssembly for a project we have.  It will involve a model using a number of curves generated from .pts tables.  We would want to code both the initial setup, and revisions using new point data.  To do one set, it's simply start the offset points operation, set the coordinate system, browse to the table, then done.  Making the curve is even simpler.  And to update means just edit definition of the pts table, browsing to new, and all that.  Doing it multiple times, it's a couple of simple steps, set within a loop, where the names of the tables increment through a preset sequence (TURN01_V1, TURN01_V2, TURN02_V1, etc).   Question is, does smartassembly have this capability, or more specifically, is that something that can be coded for use in smart assembly?  I am not looking for the code, just some feedback from SA users as to whether we are looking at the right software?

Hi,I have a new server and had to create a new license file for the host.The new license file has “BORROW =1” in all positions. The old license file has “BORROW =720”. If I understand right 720 stands for hours. 720 means 720/24 = 30 days. With the new license file, it is not possible to borrow a license anymore.All licenses are permanent.Is it possible to solve that?

i installed mathcad prime 11 in the computer but the version that i have purchased is mathcad prime 12. I would like to request for the installer for mathcad prime 12

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0 How would I solve this equation in mathcad: y’=(A’c*l1+A’c*l2+wcb*y’2/2)/(A’c*2+13*y’) where A’c=5.336in2, l1=26in, l2=18in, wcb=13in and y is in inches Tried using the solve block but getting errors saying variable A'c is undefined. Can solve it without units and entering the variables manually but assuming there is a better way.

How can we selectively suppress specific features within a group instead of suppressing the entire group?

Have a good day, community. I have a problem with solving a vector-type equation. The issue is that the solution only returns the last result, ignoring the previous calculations. Could someone please help me? I’m uploading the file in Mathcad Prime V.10. 

Hi,I am trying to plot the average pressure from several monitoring points in Creo Flow Analysis / Creo 12.I have 10 monitoring points namedPoint 01, Point 02, ... Point 10According to the documentation, I understood that monitoring point values can be accessed using syntax like:flow.P@probe."Point01"and that user-defined XY plot variables should be created using:plot.varnameSo I tried defining an expression like:plot.P_avg = (flow.P@probe."Point 01" + [...] + flow.P@probe."Point 10")/10#plot.P_avg: Average Pressure [Pa]However, I cannot find plot.P_avg as a selectable variable in the XY Plot panel or elsewhere afterwards.Has anyone successfully plotted an average value from multiple monitoring points in Creo Flow Analysis?Am I missing a specific place/context where the expression must be created, or is there another syntax required?Thanks in advance.

Hi All,I’m facing an appearance‑related issue when importing STEP AP214 files into Creo 11, and I’m looking for guidance or best practices.Workflow and Issue:I export a STEP file (AP214 format) from Fusion 360. When I import this STEP file into Creo 11 as an assembly, all components appear with the default grey appearance. However, when I clear the assembly‑level appearance in Creo, the original part‑level appearances/colors are restored correctly. The same STEP file opens correctly with appearances intact in Autodesk Inventor, without any manual steps.STEP Schema Used:FILE_SCHEMA (('AUTOMOTIVE_DESIGN { 1 0 10303 214 3 1 1 }'));Questions:Is there a way in Creo 11 to retain the original appearances automatically when importing STEP AP214 assemblies? Is this behavior related to how Creo handles assembly‑level vs part‑level appearances during STEP import? Are there specific STEP import settings, config.pro options, or best practices to prevent Creo from assigning the default grey appearan

Hello Ladies and Getelman, I am a student of the TU-Wien in engenering. I really like the Cad lessons and have great fun creating parts and assemplys with Creo butrecently my licensestoped working. I tryed activating it again with the installation guide providet by the TU but every time i try to put in the licencing Code It just says Error (Fehler!). I asked my proffesors about this and they just sayed that it looks like they can´t do anything and i should figure out a allternative like working on the projekts from a friends PC. But a have a assiment due the 24. and every student got a differnet one so i would have to make everything again with took an entire semester with 4 weekly hours each and many more at home. I don´t know what i can do, maybe i am just to dumb to install a new license. I would really appriciate a repply with a solution to my problem if there is one. Thank you either way for listening to my problem. Thank you again- Matthias Eder

I am using Creo 9.0.8.0 and in the process of obsoleting some parts. I delete a couple of patterns of parts (stacked on a skid), but the quantity dimension is left behind (orphaned?). Is this a bug?   Before deletion (I hadn't saved, so I exited and started over) After deletion Thanks, Dale

for MBD files i’ve made revisions after that i need to clear the notes like {5}, so that is their any way to clear them, i tired by mapkeys or modelcheck but couldn’t get exact way..Pls let me know any possible scenorios Thanks in advance 

HI i dont know who i cant convert the file from xmcd to mcdx. can some kind soul help me to convert it ?

Hello, typically when using derived parts we know beforehand if we will be using them or not. To do this typically we would make the purchased blank, then use the derive (merge inheritance) feature to show the part was made from said blank beforehand. My question is, if we already have an existing part, is there any way we could create a blank, then change the existing part to be derived from said blank?

Hi,Does anyone know how I can change the default window size in Creo?Let me explain better: when I run the command View >>> Windows >>> Default Size,the window shrinks like this.Is there a way to get the screenshot at the maximum screen size or a larger size?Thanks!P.S. I’m using Creo 12.4.3.0

We are using Creo parametric 8.0.8.0. The model of laptop has changed to Dell Pro Max16.There are a lot of unknown issues during Creo operations like sudden shut-down of Creo, taking too long to open assemblies compare to old laptops and so on.Dell Pro Max16 is on Creo parametric PTC Creo 10.0 Hardware Support Dell while it is not on PTC Creo 8.0 Hardware Support Dell. Would there be any potential solutions for this?

Hallo,in einer Baugruppe sollen über “Ansichts-Manager” verschiedene Varianten der Baugruppe erstellt werden. Dabei sind in einer Variante nur jeweils wenige Teile spezifisch, die meisten kommen in allen Varianten vor. Einige dieser Komponenten werden aber an unterschiedlichen Stellen verbaut.Wir kann das realisiert werden, ohne bei jeder Variante diese Komponenten neu in die Baugruppe laden und verbauen zu müssen?Danke und Gruß,Jörg

how can we convert xmcd files if converter is not working, is this a bug any workarounds?

I'm a SW user with about a year of CREO use now. I'm on CREO Parametric 10.0.4.0. I'm playing with a PCB layout, placing major components on a motherboard. So I've dropped in a PCIe card, and attached it to a PCIe Connector, and I've got power connectors, and other hand-accessible components (buttons, switches, etc). I've constrained them all to the PCB surface, and now I'd like to drag them around and figure out which layout works best for end-user and PCB design team. The only way I seem to be able to do this is to click on a component, and Edit Definition, and then drag the arrows for the unconstrained Degrees of Freedom. That's kind of okay, except that CREO seems to really think the assembly order matters. So if I place the PCIe connector first, I have to drag that around in its DoF, but that hides the PCIe card, and associated cables since those were placed later. And if I move whatever the first component is (in this case a button), every other component disappears so I hav

Are there any users out there that can vouch for the current HSM Modules in relation to 4 axis milling?  Has PTC improved 4 axis much?

I can complete all aspects of processing a model into a machined part except the output file needed for my machine. I have simple 3 axis proto tack SMX controller that needs a .gcd file output. I can only save and view my CL data into an .ncl format. W use Creo 10.0.3.0. Any assistance with post processors? 

I've looked through the community and the internet and haven't found anything on this subject, so hopefully I didn't just miss it somewhere. I have an assembly that someone created an exploded view for, so I don't want to just delete it. But every time I open the assembly, the default view is the exploded view and the first thing I have to do to get any work done is unexplode the model. I've looked through the view manager and the config settings and I can't find any means of changing this default setting. How do I get the assembly to stop doing this?

Hi there,I have used Creo Direct V19 on my old laptop for 4 years without issue (even worked when OS upgraded to Windows 11).On transferring to a new PH ZBook Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265H (2.20 GHz) Win 11 Creo now has strange clipping on flyover selection where the surface highlights in orange (as normal) but now the whole surface jumps in front of other parts, while before only the visible area would be highlighted.After selecting a surface, the whole part also jumps to render in full in front of other parts.When moving a part dynamically, the part (or assembly) will begin clipping and disappear as its is moved.Switching off hardware acceleration (CPU only) resolves these issues but the frame rate is unusable.The new laptop has the latest drivers installed for the Intel Arc Pro 140T (16GB) and NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU.Just wondering if anyone else has seen this and found a solution to it?Thank you Cal
