Hello ! I am trying to get a very simple plot, of the bisector in the first quadrant. For my application I am interested to have a graph for the range of relatively high values of abscissa, e.g. from 100000 up to 500000, like in the top left figure in the attached file (Mathcad Prime 8).I’ve tried both “Plot” and “Chart Component”.I am curious about what I have done wrong in my humble tries. Thinking that such graphs can be carried out so smoothly in Mcd 15 in one minute…, thank you for any suggestion, best regards,Liv.

This month’s challenge has a simulation theme. Many products have requirements regarding the ability to survive multiple drops from a given height. Your challenge is to simulate a drop test in Creo Parametric. Many people have a technique for simulating drops; if you don’t, how would you create one? You can use Creo Ansys Simulation, Creo Simulation Live, Creo Simulate, Mechanism Design Extension (MDX), Mechanism Dynamics Option (MDO), or any other module you see fit.     You may use any model of your choice; a simple block will suffice if that’s all you have. You can drop your object from any height that you choose, although heights of 4 to 8 feet (approximately 1.25 to 2.5 meters) are common. You can choose any orientation for your object; please do not feel like you have to follow guidance of sources like MIL-STD-810 with multiple orientations and multiple simulated drops. You can choose whatever results that you want to convey, such as stress contour plots, displacement

Components have coincident constraint on the far side surface but yet show through on the other side, see attached.  This is causing massive slow downs when zooming and/or rotating, I have updated the anti aliasing options as well as a few more config options but still cant get rid of hem completely. As soon as I hide the components causing this the assembly spins and zooms freely.... Any other config options that can be used?  Creo 8/9/10

I am using Creo Parametric version 7. I am trying to rename one Co-ordinate as alphabet "A"(Upper Case) and in the same model tree i want to create one mote Co-ordinate and named as alphabet  "a"(Smaller Case). Is there any way it can be done. Please guide me if anyone knows a process.But i have a requirement where i want to name coordinate in the same way.

Hi all, Anybody has already same idea. Launching LTSpice from MathCAD Prime 8.0 calculation results ; or generally produce a text format results from MathCAD prime. Best regards, Habib.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.2.0I need single package of creo with Parametric / Layout / Rander studio / simulate and also required help package.

I have a simple equation but want to use different input values and calculate the results without repeating the equation.  How do you do this? I am using MathCAD Prime 9.0

Hello, I want to know if we can pause for keyboard input in mapkeys like we did in the link below but for the popup window that appears when we do File/Save as in order to change the name of the file.https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/Pause-for-keyboard-input-in-mapkeys/td-p/419676 My goal is to create a macro which transform an .asm file into an .iges file and pause in the middle of the macro to ask for the user's input to change the name of the file

Goodmorning to everyone, I use Creo 8.0.9.0 and I'm wondering how to create an animation based on a MDO analisys that has the "real time duration". If I set the time.duration of 10 seconds, I expect this duration will be respected when I make the video exportation; all of this means the mechanism has the real velocity.  If the mechanism is simple,  more or less the duration/velocity is respected; if the animation is a bit complicated, the "post-production" video will be longher. Is there the possibility to impose the video exportation duration?

I have my background color set to black.  Within the background color setting I have enabled gradient which is set to an off-white color gradient in modelspace. This combination gives me a gradient background in model space and a black background in sketcher.  This is exactly as I want it. I would like my drawings to come up in an off-white color.  The drawing color currently follows the black background setting.Is there a way set a drawing background color independent of the model space background color and the sketcher background color?Thank you!

Hi, I have an equation that I manipulate in Mathcad and I would like to communicate the resulting expression to an acquaintance as text.How do I copy/paste my equation as string of ASCII characters?e.g. expression from math region:I would like the string that I copy to look similar to this: a^2*(b*x+c)/cThe clipboard content is: "(* (^ a 2) (@PARENS (/ (+ (* b x) c) c)))" Is this functionality not present by design?

I have converted the Creo Schematics Lite to Creo Schematics Full version.This works well until I want to link an old design to the catalog.I get the following report and can't solve it. Who can help me solve this?By the way the items that are mentioned are not fysical on the design. I workes in the past with the central Library and a Template. 

hello !when input red point  xyz and surface ,out uv,then put uv to ProSurfaceXyzdataEval,Why do two points have the same value?my code:ProError EvalClosestPoint(ProPoint3d xyz,ProPoint3d xyzPnt) {ProUvParam uv;ProError status;status=ProSurfaceParamEval(m_owner, m_surf, xyz, uv);status= ProSurfaceXyzdataEval(m_surf, uv, xyzPnt, NULL, NULL, NULL);return status;}thank you!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.6.0Tangent Lines are not visible when model display is set to wireframe or hidden line display style -When I view my models in wireframe or hidden, the tangent lines of a cylindrical feature are invisible.

We use shrinkwrap for welding, because merge does not work for features and a weld with the weld application is a feature in Creo. It works fine, however unlike merge you can not open base model from the model tree, instead you need to go to feature information, copy the number and open that number. Is it possible to make a mapkey to do that instead of manually do it all the time? Below is  mapkey, but how to get rid of the hardcoded filename?  mapkey foo ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.AssyTree` 1 `node2`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ RButtonArm `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.AssyTree` `node2`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ PopupOver `main_dlg_cur` `PM_PHTLeft.AssyTree` 1 `PHTLeft.AssyTree`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Open `main_dlg_cur` `PM_PHTLeft.AssyTree`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `PM_PHTLeft.AssyTree`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Trail `MiniToolbar` `MiniToolbar` `UIT_TRANSLUCENT` `NEED_TO_CLOSE`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdInfoFeature@PopupMenuTree` ;~ Command `ProCmdM

Hello All.I recently started working on CreoView and after having moved from Solidworks, I am unable to use shortcuts for viewing objects quickly such as (ctrl+1,2,3...) for viewing the model in different orientations. Can  anyone please tell me how to use these shortcuts to improve the productivity

Good evening, Is there a document that explains the keywords of a xml file describing the part of the ribbon of a company module (that can be found in the installation directory (eg C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo Elements\Direct Drafting 20.4.1.0\Modules\)?The reason is that Drafting used to die on my pc when I add or modify a panel on the ribbon of my module.Also, I personally think that modifying with a text editor the xml file is easier. Another question: is it possible to have several language in the same xml file, the language being automatically selected by Drafting according to the current locale (similar to the DGETTEXT system?Should be possible, since changing the locale on Drafting with CHANGE_LOCALE do change the labels on the ribbon.   

I’m trying to use toolkit to delete .drw files under working directory. There is a situation when the model mounted to the drawing is missing, I can’t manage to delete the drw file with promdlnameretrieve() and Promdldelete(). Does anyone know any other method to delete a file from disk in toolkit, many thanks.

  I am looking to write some code for a structural connection design template. One of the things that needs to be checked is plate geometry. More specifically the distance from the centerline of a bolt hole to the edge of the plate the hole is in. The table below outlines the general parameters I am trying to meet. lets call the bolt diameter "d" and the min edge distance "x",for 0.5 <= d <= 1if x >= d + 0.25 then return "meets spec". if not then return "violates spec" for 1 < d <= 1.25if x >= d + 0.375 then return "meets spec". if not then return "violates spec" for d > 1.25if x >= d * 1.25 then return "meets spec". if not then return "violates spec" Basically, I want to put in various values for "d" and "x" and have it tell me whether or not I meet the spec per the rules above. I feel like this should be rather simple to code in but I have no coding experience so I am struggling hard with it. Above is a snippet of t

Is there a way in Creo Simulate to use a surface to create shell elements?  This is not a midsurface shell compression.  I created a simple "L" solid part with a surface extrusion.  I thought the autoGEM control "hard surface" would achieve what I wanted.  But it doesn't.  Is there a different setting that will accomplish this?  I've attached photos of the part and the part meshed.    

I have always struggled with Creo when it comes to getting good millpaths.  No matter what I try, it always seems like Creo defaults to pushing the cutter directly into the middle of the part (material fully surrounding the cutter) instead of slowly milling its way into the part from the outside in.I have dealt with this issue for many years now, and decided it's time to make a post here asking for help.  As you can see in the video, it would be ideal to mill the outside first, allowing 2/3rds of the cutter in the material until it mills completely to the center.(view in My Videos)

Hello.I use CREO 10.0 parametric for the creation of large assmbly. (more than 800 parts and the 2D Drawing, Not simulation. only assembly and drawing. sometimes use AFX)I would like to know AMD graphic card compatibility with creo 10.0.Is compatibility good when using Radeon Pro W7600 or W6600? Or should I use Quadro?

I am running CREO 10.0 on a student license, and trying to create a .mfg model.  But when I enter new model name and template the model window does not switch to the manufacturing model window.  Does anyone know if this feature is not available with a student license, or am I doing something else wrong.  thanks.

Hi, I want to compile a table with automatic calculations. In  the figure attached, I want to plot in the cell the result of a quote divided by a constant number "2560". How can I do this?  Can I recall in the cell the result of a relation obtained dividing the quote with the constant number? If yes, how I could write the relation recalling the quote? Best regards, Michele Barile  

Proengineerstart returns ProError code -1 How to rectify it . ProEngineerstart has Two arguments among those one(proe_path) is executable that runs it and another is Prodev_text_path which i am unable to figure it out Can someone please explain what is that second argument is about and how to use it correctly.
