We're  in the middle of WC12 and Creo 8 testing.  I was successful in removing the featured object status column from my workspace display.  Now I'd like to remove it from Creo File/Open dialog.  That column seems to take over everything and I've not found a way to remove it or move the column.

See snip below & attached. I'm trying to solve for z_pna, such that the sum of the tension forces equals the sum of the compression forces. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0After opening an item using "file open" dialogue box and "type" pulldown to filter by type (e.g. drw, prt, asm), the new Creo 10 "quick access" bar within the "file open" dialogue box automatically "pins" the type selection so that the same file type filter is still active the next time the user uses "file open". This presents a problem when a drawing is being worked on. Previously, Ctrl-O ("file open" shortcut)/Enter keystroke sequence was a very rapid way to open the active model in the drawing, since the active model is the default value inserted by Creo in the "File Name" field. However since file type is now pinned to previous selection (e.g. drawing), "Invalid Extension" error occurs upon Ctrl-O/Enter keystroke sequence and the user must now use an additional mouse click to "deselect" the pinned selection before pressing enter. The user should have the option to pin or not to pin the "type" selection in order to reduce m

Hi all,im new to Creo. I have the student version of Creo Parametric 9.0. I send a screenshot, where you can see my problem. The diameter of the shown screw is 0.5118mm. In the tutorial which im learning with there is a diameter of 13mm for a M14x1 Screw. Is there im doing wrong? If so how can i change that diameter. I hope you guys can help me out. Sorry for my bad english.

Hi communityI don't know how to use prime to find solutions to a robotic problem this problem is based on matrix calculus for a serial type robot it is easy to determine the direct geometry, i.e. to express the generalized coordinates according to the joint coordinates The difficulty is to solve the inverse geometry, that is to say determine the coordinates of the joints according to the generalized coordinates usually this uses Paul's iterative method I don't know how to solve these equations with Mathcad see the attached sheet

I want to create some ribs for an aerofoil. I have created the ribs using the offset coordinate system which produces a curve. I can't seem to extrude the curve, therefore I tried using the spline tool to sketch over the coordinates, however the line is slightly off compared to the curve which is an issue as the shape needs to be accurate. Any idea how I could produce the ribs thanks. Below is a coordinate system I used.Thanks   

I'm making a piston mechanism in Creo Mechanism where I'm supposed to measure the piston's acceleration when it's 45 degrees from the y-axis, but the result gives me a percentual difference of 20% from the correct answer (-47000mm/s^2) What could I be doing wrong? 

How to customize symbols and add the data table for the customized symbols in Creo schematic 9.0

HiI'm a relatively new Creo user. As the title says, is it possible to group a selection of sketch elements within a sketch? Like the "Block" function in AutoCAD/Inventor/Solidworks. (image of the function in Inventor attached) If not, is there a workaround? Should I instead create separate sketches on the same plane? Thanks in advance for any tips.

I need SCN so I can upgrade to network seatsvbottone@pagethink.com

Creo 7 I am looking for an automated way to create a cellular array of ribs and have run into what seems to be a limitation with trajectory rib functionality. The first pic below illustrates an example of what I want to create but I am not able to use the projection of the patterned hex curves in the sketch for a trajectory rib without manually selecting each hex.   I am able to generate a pattern of cells that "should" be available for use when defining a sketch for trajectory ribs. So far, I am not able to select the cell array with a pick box or intent reference selection. Am I missing something with sketcher selection or in the projection tool within sketcher?   Is there a better way to approach this from a modeling standpoint if I want it to be more automated? Using a fill pattern, I can generate the array from a single sketched hexagon and a few feature relations. It would be nice to leverage that and generate the ribs based on this pattern.   I need a way to selec

May I know what is the function of "Update Layer" in this tab? it is grayed out in every layer.Thanks 

Using Creo 8.0.Is there a way to change the color of the hole placement handles ? ( the symbols you drag to define XY placement of a hole on a selected surface). By default it is red, but is hard to see when superimposed on the selected placement surface that also turns red upon selection.See attached screenshot in where I refer to the symbol at the end of the striped red line.

I have a license for Prime 3.0 and am re-installing on a new PC after a few years away from Mathcad and require a download link - is there one available? Thank you.

I'm having an installation issue with Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express. I downloaded the setup file, and ran the installer, but after installation when I launch the app the error message: "The code execution cannot proceed because mfc140u.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I have tried reinstalling multiple times and the issue persists.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140In drawing sheet while creating linear dimension with reference of edge and bend axis dimension created but getting PRO_TK_INVALID_MATRIX error while using this api "PROANNOTATIONSHOW".when the drawing is active that time there is no error but when we open the drawing programmatically then getting errorHere are the errors that I facedPROANNOTATIONSHOW - PRO_TK_INVALID_MATRIX

I have on average 30 to 40 large Mathcad Prime 8 worksheets that must sequentially open, calculate using input numbers from an ASCII text file, output an ASCII text file for input by the next worksheet, then save and close before the next worksheet is opened.  This is very labor intensive and I need to automate the process with a Visual Basic program.  It is critical that each worksheet recalculate while it is open, to deliver correct and updated results to the next worksheet.  I can get the attached example VB program to start Mathcad and open a single file, but I have not been successful in adding lines of VB code, that recalculate that worksheet after it is opened, and then save & close that worksheet with the changes, before opening the next worksheet - and doing it all again.  Help!  Obviously, I am not a programmer!

I'm currently facing a peculiar issue in Creo and could use some advice. I've created a part with a specific feature - a hole cut out. The problem arises when I attempt to mirror this feature. While the mirroring process itself seems successful, the original hole cut out disappears.Has anyone encountered this issue before? What could be causing the original feature to vanish upon mirroring, and more importantly, how can it be resolved? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help!

Why does it take time to export PDF on Creo, i would like to know if there are other ways around this 

My software won't load and a message comes up saying 'connection failed' and it asks for proxy server details - it never used to do this.  Does anyone know how I can overcome it?

I have opened up a support ticket and PTC is still investigating but it doesn't appear that there is a way to change the annotation plane for annotations within a UDF.   Anyone doing MBD with UDFs? Are you aware of a work around for having the annotations placed on a different annotation plane? I know once it is placed you can right click on them and choose move to plane but I am hoping there is a better response.

I use a copy geometry to get planes from my skeleton. Now I have a lot of planes in my model. It makes it hard to find the plane that I need on the screen. I want to use layers to only show the planes that I want to use as references for my desired feature. But, when I try to select a plane from a copy geometry for creation of a layer, it selects all the planes from that copy geometry. Is there maybe a way to use just a selected few of the planes from a copy geometry in a layer? Thanks a lot for ideas and answers!

Hi, I am importing an aerofoil into Creo 8, I am following steps done by You-tube videos, however the aerofoil comes out like below.I am using the following aerofoil: Any tips would be appreciated thanks   

Hi, I am running a simulation with a measured load at one side, and applied load at another. For all intents and purposes, it is a non-symmetric see-saw, where I have a target load at one end, with a load (in this instance, a pressure value) applied to a pad at the other end. I will have 9 individual tests to complete (each test is at a different angle), so I was hoping to run a feasibility study to save myself the trial and error involved in guessing the input load multiple times until I get a close result. I have had a bit of a play around and created a parameter, which I then drove a load value with.  It seems to accept the input parameter (I can drive a static analysis from it) but when it comes to doing a study, I get the '!' of doom with no indication of the cause of failure. Screenshots of my parameter and study are below. Is what i am trying actually possible and if so, is there something obvious I am missing?  

Hi I am new here and was wondering if you could help?We have Creo 8.0 on a server with a 1G network.we have now upgraded to a 2.5G network.We are moving the drawing files to a QNAP  TS-h973AX  NAS with 32GB ram  and a 2.5G network connectionIt then connects to a QNAP 2.5G network unmanaged switchWhich then connects to 3 X 2.5G network computers with 12th gen i7 processors with 32GB RAM each using NVMe drives..Transfering files through file explorer gives us the 2.5G speed but when we try to open Creo 8.0 files the network only transfers files at 7Mbps to 13Mbps speed?Do we need to change anything  in the config file settings in Creo to speed up the opening of the drawings in Creo?note: we upgraded from pro e wildfire to Creo parametric 8.0Could it be that a software limitation has come across from the old wildfire program and is limiting the speed of Creo loading files? any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
