Hello, My company has asked the question if Creo 10 & Simulation Live can be run from the AWS App Stream 2.0 service?The idea is to potentially save on purchasing specific high end Computer Hardware and utilize the AWS system that should technically always have the latest GPU's.Does anyone run Creo this way and how have they found it?Thank you for any input or suggestions. 

Hello, I have a question about a startup files. If I would like to setup two startup files for parts and two for assemblies, let's say one for general design and one for tooling, each would have it's own set of parameters, which I would then call into assemblies and then further onto drawings. Now when I copy one from the other, and try to change the parameters on one, they also change on the other, why is that? How could I separate these startparts so they are completely standalone? I am using Creo 9.0.5.0 and am connected to Windchill release 12.1.2.5. For any info, thank you very much.    

Is it my or Mathcad Prime 6 error?  

Currently, I see no way to have a "snap location' on the top right corner of my drawing that I can "snap" my BOM to every time I add one? I want to be able to input "table from file", hit my mapkey (which has the appropriate xy coordinates), then it places it into the correct location. However I need the table to be placed using the top right corner but all my tables all get placed from the top left corner and there seems to be no way to change that? My best method so far is to place my table, select it, hit my mapkey "F5", then click on my desired corner of the table, then my mapkey places it onto the correct xy coordinates that were included with my mapkey. Not a huge workaround, but you should be able to change where a table gets placed from right?If there's a better method that I'm not finding please share. Thank You!  

When using the "ROUTE CABLES" function in the CABLING module, clicking on a connector no longer routes the wires for that connector -- why? This was a very useful tool and that function is documented by PTC here under "Tips for Routing Cables": About Routing Cables (ptc.com) NOTE: The wires to this connector route fine when wires are searched for and selected in the ROUTE CABLES pop-up menu.

I am interested in Mathcad for the sole purpose of drawing contours based on spot elevations that are scattered (x, y, z), i.e. not in a unique grid. I'm testing Mathcad Prime 9 for this.I saw online that previous edition of Mathcad could do this, but I am unable to find the functionality in Mathcad Prime. Could you guide me to the speicifc process that I can use to achieve this. In summary, I have data points scattered in 3d space, with each data point having x, y, z coordinates. I want Mathcad to draw contours in 2D (axes representing x and y, with contours drawn between z values). An example of a process is described here, but I cannot find this functionality in Mathcad Prime (see Slide 53 and later):  https://www.foundationperformance.org/pastpresentations/ClarkPresSlides13August14.pdf The xyz data I am trying to get contours for is currently in an excel file, attached. Looking forward to receiving your feedback!

I am trying to wrap my head around how layers are handled when exporting a drawing to a DXF or DWG. I have already discovered the issue where you cannot have the same entity on multiple layers, since the export will only place it on the first alphabetic layer that it appears on. However, I am struggling to get all the exported layers to accurately represent the ones in my Creo Parametric files. In my case, I have a number of sketches for a soft goods flat pattern. Each type of sketch (outlines, folds, seams, etc.) are assigned to their own layer. Those layers are then mapped to identically named layers in the export settings. The results, however, are inconsistent at best. While some of the exported layers do contain the correct items, many of the items simply get placed on a new layer named "0", and cannot be controlled by their original Creo layers. I cannot for the life of me see why this is the case. Does anyone here have experience with DXF/DWG exports, and could offer a

 I am modifying dimension text in Creo 8. Is there a comprehensive list of text modifiers, such as @O for override or  @[{&D203} to display dimension 203 as basic when being referenced inside another dimensions dimension text?            

I am using Creo 10 and had a Windows 10 update that wiped out a number of my settings, one of them being my weld symbols and dialog box in drawing mode. config.win is directing to the correct folder, but nothing is showing up. I have two pictures attached. One is the weld dialog box before the Windows update and the other is after along with my directory setting.

Good evening, everyone.  I was working on a model in Mathcad today. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message every time. To prevent errors, I have removed all units. I have double-checked the function, but I can't seem to find the error. The error message I'm getting is "This value must be a function." I would say that this might be in the theta1(t), z2(t), and theta2(t). I have already reviewed the steps below:Check the ODEs: Make sure that the ODEs you are trying to solve are properly defined as functions of the independent variable (usually time) and dependent variables. For example, if you have an ODE like dy/dt = f(t, y), make sure that f(t, y) is a valid function.Correct Function Format: Ensure that the functions used in your ODEs are defined correctly. Mathcad Prime requires well-defined functions with proper syntax. Double-check your function definitions, including parameter lists and mathematical expressions.Function Inputs: Confirm that you are passing the cor

It takes me several attempts at times to right mouse click a balloon leader in order to re-attach or move it. And then at times it comes right up? I've experimented with selecting within different tabs like Annotation, Tools, or layout, as well as selecting closer to the arrow, but it doesn't seem to help? Again, sometimes I have no problem but more often than not I get the text style or convert to draft entities menu instead of edit attachment and arrow style menu that I am looking for. Forgot to mention I am in Creo 9.0.4.0 drawing.

Anyone found a way to change default model tolerances via a mapkey? You have to enter the edit dimension mode to be able to click on and change tolerances in graphics window. The model feature clicked will always be different. Even if I get into edit dimensions mode, a mapkey to just change default tolerances will not work. It won't click on default tolerances in the graphics window. Default tolerances are not listed in the parameters either.

I am pretty new to this segment and it would be much appreciated if someone can share some demo parts in Creo Parametric which can be droved by mathcad prime 8 along withn how to do it.

Hello, I have a question while I was making a function related to printing in creo toolkit.We confirmed that the function has a ProPrintPCFOptionsGet that uses the pct file to retrieve the print settings. I think it's a very useful feature, but I thought I had to have a pcf file before I could use it.So I tried to create a function to create a pcf file first, but I couldn't see the proper function, so I had a hard time.Can you recommend a function that makes a pcf file? Or if you know how to make a function without using it, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.Thank you.

When I activate parts in Creo 10.0.1.0 the transparency hides holes/oulines of other parts. Here is an example. None of the holes are shown, once I active the lower plate. Is there any way to change that?

I am using Creo Parametric 8.0.7.0. When Creo switches from one LAN to another after some gap in between, the license is lost and the popup comes up asking to switch to Offline mode. But the popup windows for the "License lost" and "Switch to offline" are overlapping and can't be moved. This prevents me from clicking on the License lost window and thus, I also can't click on the Offline/Online mode. These popups interfere by displaying on top of all other programs. The only way to remove that popup is to close Creo through Task Manager. How to make the popup windows movable so that I can interact with them?

Hi GuysHow can I generate G-Code for a 3D printer directly from a Creo model without relying on any third-party applications? Are there built-in tools or features within Creo that facilitate the creation of G-Code for 3D printing? I noticed that Creo has options for 3D printing, but it seems to prompt me to purchase a specific 3D printer.  

I have attached three files.  FFT1, FFT4, and FFT5.  I'm trying to learn how to do a fast fourier transform.  I begin with a 1 microsecond sampling rate, which provide a max. nyquist frequency of 500 kHz.  I multiply the number of points in FFT4 by a factor of 10, so the sampling rate becomes 0.1 microsecond, which provides a max Nyquist frequency of 5 MegaHz.  Then I again multiply the sampling frequency by 10 and produce a sampling rate of 0.01 microseconds and a Nyquist frequency of 50.  Can anyone take a look and confirm this theory?  How do I reproduce a segment of the output FFT?  I want to reproduce the segment above n=50 MHz in the final spreadsheet.  How do I reproduce the segment beginning with n=0 and ending with n=50 in the FFT5 spreadsheet.I want to reproduce the original waveform as well..Any assistance understanding this software would be welcome.I also need to know what dft is doing relative to FFT.  I know it

Where can I go to change the default template?

Last week we upgraded to Windchill 12 and Creo 9.0 with CreoView Adapter 9.1. When we submit a job to the CreoView, the model files (parts and assemblies) publish fine and benerate thumbnails that dhow in Windchill. The drawings do not publish a viewable or a thumbnail. When I open a drawing in CreoView, it only opens a blank page, no drawing. Models open fine and can be viewed and manipulated.

I want to use parameters for assigning material to parts in assembly. What is key difference between PTC_MASS_DENSITY and MP_DENSITY?. Which one would be correct to assign density using parameters. Additionally what is correct syntax to assign material to part using parameter. As when I use PTC_MASS_MATERIAL = Aluminum it displays error. 

HiI am trying to find 4 unknows from an equation. But its giving me "0" as a solution. I have eight know variables in the equation, while I want to find the rest of 4 unknowns. Your help would be highly appreciated. I have attached the sheet of Mathcad 9. Best,Waqas  

Hi there, in the web.link "documentation" there is a function  boolean IsObjectCheckedOut (string WorkspaceName, string ObjectName)   within the "Class pfcServer" I tried  let active_ws = oSession.ListServers().Item(0).ActiveWorkspace; console.log (oSession.IsObjectCheckedOut(active_ws , CurModel.Filename));    But I only get "TypeError: oSession.IsObjectCheckedOut is not a function" How do I get the information, if an object is already checked out?
