A google search indicates that since before 2010 CREO has been incapable of offering direct extrusion from a wrapped sketch. There are various work-arounds that exist which largely requires minimum 3-4 steps and it is not very stable. The most recent "solution" from PTC is CS82388 which takes 2 seconds to modify some parameters to see why it is not a solution: it does not translate/wrap around the cylinder beyond 180 degrees.  In Solidworks you can literally extrude/cut directly from the wrap tool beyond 180 degrees, this is in just 1 step. So, PTC, you are very much behind your competitors, and have seemingly ignored your users for over a decade -  when will extrusions from a wrapped sketch be introduced as it is not in CREO 10? Article - CS82388 - How to wrap and extrude text around a cylinder in Creo Parametric (ptc.com) examples of solidworks:Solidworks - Wrap feature - YouTubeWrap Command -Solidworks Tutorials |Design Hub| - YouTube

I've got a complex assembly I cannot share directly, and I am trying to animate the actuation of the mechanism for a presentation.I am using explode states to add in/replace parts and actuate them as I'm not aware of a method for moving the mechanism to various pre-defined positions within the assembly constraints (which would be really nice, and I'm surprised if it is not an option) When trying to animate the opening of a door with an explode rotation, the path of the part as it transitions from state 1 to state 2 is not a simple pivot, but rather some eliptical mess. Is there:- A way to constrain movement between explode states?- A way to animate using various positions of objects related using assembly constraints (pin, slot, slider, etc)? Much thanks in advance for the insight.Dave 

Are there any ideal parameter's that we need to pass from Creo Parametric to engineering notebook (Mathcad worksheet) and relatively the input parameter's from engineering book to Creo Parametric? I want to design helical gears and do the calculation part in engineering notebook can this be done? Design with engineering notebook 

When I switch over to centerline mode in the harness package the center lines are not shown, however when I hover over them they highlight... any suggestions how to get them to show? I cant right click and edit to add a location to the segment in this manor, which is frustrating. I used to be able to see them at one point. When using show as thick cable it shows the cable without issue. I have found it to be a new config.pro setting I added "shade_with" I had set to no

Can creo map big font for CAD when exporting DWG files? such as map english font and big font at the same time

Where do I find Material ID for the materials present in material library. I want to use relations to assign values to material parameters like density,etc. For which I need material ID. MethodPTC_MASS_DENSITY:MTRL_ID. Please suggest me way to find material ID. Thank you in advance!

Hi. I have been trying to conduct flow analysis on a fan blade for quite a while now and I can't seem to get the right specifications. I have looked all over the internet and have only found flow analysis of internal structures, not external ones. I have tried so many things and can't seem to get it correctly. My project is due in a week and I am getting very stuck. Someone please help. Thanks

Hi there,recently i decided to create a specific restricted parameter to add in my start part.prti've followed the "external file" approach and i 've created a .txt with my   parameter.Then i've updated my config.pro adding the path of the new file.Initially Creo (version 9.06) was not loading the file and i could understand why.After few trials i've found my issue.My configuration files were stored in a windows folder managed by nextcloud (the cloud storage software my company use ). By the time i moved the restricted parameters file into a local folder , (such as my desktop)Creo was perfectly able to load the file and use the parameter.My question here is how to keep the possibility to store the file among the other configuration files inside the cloud environment.Does Creo agent have anything to do with this?

do we have any training video/material from PTC to learn about Creo Tubing/Piping ? One of my project requirements, i need to create the flexible PVC hoses. 

Good morning. Has anyone made the 3d model with creo of the nintendo Wii controller? I need it for a university project but I can't get it done

Hi, I have a perpetual license of Mathcad Prime 3. Now I am trying to install Mathcad on my new PC, but the only version I can find available for download on PTC's website is 9.0. I tried to activate my license on that, but as expected it did not work. Following the recommendation given in a similar thread in this community, I also tried to contact the vendor (digitalriver.com) who sent me the license back in 2014, but it seems like they no longer work with PTC. Can anyone from PTC guide me on how to install Mathcad Prime 3 on my PC? Best,Felipe

Forgive me, I am new to Mathcad.  I have created a simple equation in Matchcad and it appears to be giving me the incorrect answer. When calculating the same on my calculator or in a relation in Creo I get the answer: 32.2275... Does anyone know why this is the case? 

I am trying to understand legacy drawing files that are brought into a more recent release. In my example and common practice is user will open a legacy file created in a very old version and do a Save As to a new number (.drw file). Does this new file now become Creo8 or is it still using old version and old code that may have a bug in it. I know the .dtl file is static to the drawing and .prt and .asm upon regeneration will take on new version. I am trying to understand drawing behavior as well. When I open new .drw in editor it does have Creo8 in the header. My base for question is bugs and fixes that were corrected in later releases.

Hello,Why GPOST does not output the feed rate during NURBS machining ?Attached a new PP completly empty (Postprocessor defaults) and CL file.CREO 7.0.5.0GPOST V6.8 P20p2-J11 Regards 

Hello, I am using CREO 5 - manufacturing, I am trying set probe in Manual cycle - CL Command - Menu - PROBE_CYCLES.Has anyone work with this?Thank you for the help

hello,in the idea of standardising, we are in the process to recreate our start parts (prt template).The question of the mass properties calculation comes in. If I check the legacy data, some are using the mass property retrieved throught PRO_MP_MASS and some have a mass property feature in the footer and retrieved through MASS:FID_MASS_PROP (relation in post regeneration) I can't come out with a real pro or con from one or another solution...We use the mass in windchill, on the drawing and with family tables (even huge ones). Does anyone has an opinion on that? how are you doing in your compagny and why did you choose this solution?  

Hello,  

Help please. Give me please PRIME 6 or picture!

Are Shrink wrap skeleton surfaces NOT viewable in Creo View Lite? Is it better to use Stp, iges, etc.instead?I'm trying to route some piping/wiring on a unit. But NOT having to load the whole unit. Because it seems to slow down my computer. I'm trying to share this with my colleagues via Creo viewer Lite.Is there an alternative?

Is there a way to transfer design data from EPLAN to Creo Schematics?For example some neutral data like STEP for 3D? I have found article from 2010 without answers, maybe there is something which works nowadays?

     I don't know what to do. Here is my code, the function ProDtlsyminstdataVartextsSet() returns the PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS. It confused me.ProDtlsyminst sym_inst; ProDtlsyminstdata data; ProDtlvartext text; /*initialize...*/ stutas = ProDtlvartextAlloc((wchar_t*)L"test", (wchar_t*)L"2.5", &text); status = ProDtlsyminstDataGet(&sym_inst, PRODISPMODE_SYMBOLIC, &data); status = ProDtlsyminstdataVartextsSet(data, &text); status = ProDtlsyminstModify(&sym_inst, data); 

I can not install MathCadPrime Version 7, but I need it to exchange data with my colleagues. This is not about the trial edition. It is about the real edition of MathCadPrime 7. The failure message is: "Nicht zulässig".

Hi all, I've got an assembly - which I can't show its entirety for obvious reasons. It contains many components that are fixed, but two of which have 'Pin' constraints. This one is pinned to one fixed component - with no following mechanism components. For some reason when I grab it and move it, it makes the camera highly sensitive. Please see video attached. I tried restarting Creo, and restarting my computer - the same issue occurs. It temporarily goes away when I delete and re-add/re-constrain the component, but comes back later on. Thanks,Jeff I have no clue hwt

Hello all, Would anyone know why a model would display hidden lines when the display setting is "shading with edges"? I have included a screen capture of a portion of the model.  I thought there may be a setting for Hidden Line Removal that was modified by a user, but didn't find anything like that on the web.  Using Creo Parametric 8.0.1.0 Thanks in advance, Phil

Greetings! I made a table using Repeat Region > add > two-D, and selected the family table parameters, the names of the family table instances, and the values ​​assigned to each one. However, I don't want a column to appear in this list, and I have no idea how to delete it. Could anyone tell me if there is a way to delete any of these columns? I can't even change the row or column size dimensions...
