Creo 7.0.8 Question:Is there a way to trigger animations using hot-keys? Background:As I've been working through the designs on some relatively complex mechanical assemblies, it has been really beneficial to my peer-review groups to have some animations to illustrate how my mechansims work. While I have been creating individual animations, exporting the video, and running the review from Powerpoint, it is really common that we end up browsing the CREO Files live for more clarity. I would like a way to have a series of animations / explode-states that I could readily trigger via hot-keys / map-keys  / even an on-screen set of buttons that initiate a state.Example:State 1: Closed tool-caseState 2: Opened Tool-caseState 3: Ratchet-wrench removal from case, socket removal from case, socket installation to ratchet-wrenchState 4: Ratchet+Socket moved to bolt My actual needs are more complex, and the mechanisms I'm designing require re-positioning and re-orientat

While trying to activate my license during the installation I'm getting "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."

Hi everyone,I need to do a completely automatic drawing from file step.I already use various templates butwhat I would like to do is this:1) I import the step2) I find the dimensions of the box that contains the piece3) based on the size of the part I decide the format to use and the scale4) mathematically I detect which are the largest dimensions to establish an orientation of the part and therefore define a "TOP" view which is the starting point of the projections.5) With the program in detailing I also do the other projections. I already have experience with TRAIL file generatorsfor example I made one that opens a list of drawings and creates the pdf and backs it up in a given folder. What I'm missing is having a command that gives me three variables, x-y-z, for the dimensions of the piece and three other variables, DX-DY-DZ, AX-AY-AZ, which give me the distance and orientation of the piece in way to redefine the step reference with another CS  to use all the views of

I've been using VB API for a couple of weeks now and now i want to add a button to the ribbon. But I can't even start an application in CREO. My code looks like this: Imports pfcls Module Module1 Public asynconn As New CCpfcAsyncConnection Public conn As IpfcAsyncConnection Public session As IpfcBaseSession Sub Main() user_initialize() user_terminate() End Sub Sub user_initialize() conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 1) session = conn.Session End Sub Sub user_terminate() conn.Disconnect(5) End Sub End Module My protk.dat file: NAME test EXEC_FILE D:\Users\Creo_7\Test_Button.dll TEXT_DIR D:\Users\Creo_7 STARTUP dll delay_start FALSE allow_stop TRUE REVISION 2001 END  config.pro: protkdat D:\Users\Creo_7\protk.dat What is a minimum requirements for creo VB application to run inside of CREO and how than can I add button on the ribbon? Errors that I'm getting   

I have a large assembly in Creo 8 with about 30 simplified reps. How can I figure out from the model tree to which simplified rep a certain component belongs, it could be a member in multiple simultaneously.I realize you can create columns in the model tree representing the simplified rep, but having a large number of simpl. reps. makes this less practical.Ideally, I'd like to right-click on the component and have the option see all involved simpl. reps.Thanks. 

Hello,  I am looking for a parameter in Creo 7.0 how I can avoid to set a working directory to a network share folder.  Kind regards, Michael   

Hai,We are into color coding in mould insert manufacturing. currently all inserts have to be coloured manually. Iam checking for option of coloring the inserts automatically in the software itself. Please refer below picture for example for the coloring requirement.The splitting work is done in manufacturing (mould cavity) mode. after splitting the insert is coming as below                   the requirement is at least fitting area color change to either brown or yellow automatically (both can be achieved will be great).kindly let me know how this can be made. Any help will be appreciated. Iam using Creo 7.    

Good morning  everyone,I need to create the drawing in batches of 40-80 parts in step format.There is a way to adapt the format to the size of the part, tocenter the views only on the solid geometry, regardless ofthe position of the CSYS. Thanks for your help.  

Hello!In Creo NC Complete (5.0.4.0) when I create a new machine code for NC-machine, equations are automatically substituted. CUT_FEED = (CUTTER_DIAM/80)*SPINDLE_SPEED*2SPINDLE_SPEED = 150000/(3.14159*CUTTER_DIAM)STEP_DEPTH = 0.1*CUTTER_DIAMCLEAR_DIST = STEP_DEPTH+5If I set my parameters (for example, SPINDLE_SPEED), they are updated to default anyway.How can I change or remove these equations? Please help me solve this problem   

It is very good to see composite design in creo 10. However i wonder that why cannot whole surface (layup surface) be used for creating ply? Does it have bussiness reason or software reason? Thank you       

Hello i would like to have  2 different creo_parametric_customization.ui .One for  department Aan one for department Bin department A i have also 4 user each of them have different  customization.ui .We also have Windchill . So to change any PTC_WF_ROOT is impossibly.Do you heave any idea  how to do that. Thanks    

Hello, CREO Parametric 10.0.0 has stopped loading and a license error message pops up. This is business critical, but the PTC tech support phone number does not work (message says it is not in service). I filed a case online, but received a message saying someone will contact me within 24 hours? Does anyone know how to resolve license issues and does anyone know how to reach anyone from PTC support directly?    We cannot utilize PTC products if we can't get them to load and can't reach tech support promptly to fix the issue. Also, I tried posting a message on the tech support related issue board and that failed as well. Youy help is much appreciated. Thanks, John

How do you go about getting to the next "step" in a formula? Like in a division situation where you have filled out the numerator, and you want to get to the denominator without using the arrow keys. Or in an if, then statement, getting to the next gray box? Or to the end of parenthesis in a formula? In short, how do you avoid using arrow keys to get to the end of the formula you are writing? thank you

Why am I getting an error when I move g below k? Shouldn't global variables work where ever they are used?   -->   so, this seems to work ... ... So is it not possible to have global variables inside global variables? if so, why did the first set of calcs work?  Thank you in advance

Is there still no way to have custom keyboard shortcuts? I found posts dating back to 2015 saying there is no way to do that in Mathcad. That was the latest post I could find. Any chance that has changed since? Ctrl + Shift + ~ is super awkward to do for global variables. thank you

Anybody seeing issues with these?  On some rows that have only 1 line of text, I get a row that's too tall, on some rows that have 2 lines of text, it's too short.  REALLY inconsistent.    

Hi,I have an old license file for Mathcad Prime 3.0 (c. 2016!), but no longer have the download file or access to the software due to an OS upgrade on my computer. Is this something you can help me with? I'd like to use MathCad Prime again. It seems as if I can't access the knowledge base, the link won't work to allow me to view the installation guide for 3.0 that still exists in the help files.Jeff

Anyone know how to control the distance Creo uses when placing the offset phantom line when specifying a unilateral profile tolerance? Can it be controlled by a drawing setup file setting?     Kind Regards, Patrick

how would you do the following in Mathcad:  if  (x = 1  or x = 2)     return "yes"else     return "no"  thank you.

The plot is changing enormously when ode solve is used. Any suggestions?
