Creo 7This seems insane that its not easier than this.I can not figure out how to get my parameter in my model to display my full stock size?I have the following parameters: thickness / width / length Then I have a relation: thickness=d12, width=d9, length=d10 (and these default to 2 decimal places) So then I thought, the relation, (stock_size = thickness "x" width "x" length) would give me what I'm after.Ex 1.50 x 2.50 x 3.50Nope, further digging got me to the following equation: STOCK_SIZE = itos(D12) + "." + itos( (D12 - floor(D12)) * 100 ) + " X " + itos(d9) + "." + itos( (d9- floor(d9)) * 100 ) + " X " + itos(d10) + "." + itos( (d10- floor(d10)) * 100 ) Which I arrived at because I needed this specific "itos" function to give me 2 decimal places. Now I get 2.50 x 3.50 x 4.50? (Not the 1.50 x 2.50 x 3.50 that it should be) So all my values have increased by (1) somehow.The itos function makes no sense to me but I suppose it works if I can find out what is c

Hi guys, i have a problém with broken view. When i make in Visible area Tab everything is OK, I can see the break lines but when I click apply and ok and the small window disappears then the break lines disappear too … can’t understand  Thanks for help !

From what I gather, Creo Parametric has a very basic material library, which is missing many very common surface finishes.   I've heard that, in order to procure magical dmt files that contain clear brushed aluminum, yellow and white zinc, tin, chromate, black oxide, brushed stainless steel, and other assorted apparently-exotic finishes, you need to cozy up to some wizened Pro/E veteran and convince them to share their personal dmt files with you.   Is there anyone resident on this forum that would like to share their dmt libraries?   Thanks in advance,   Mike

When browsing files with Windows File Explorer and sorting a folder by file type,STP files are being listed as "PTC.Creo_Parametric.9.0.1.0" instead of "STP file".Seems to be only STP files, Parasolid file is still be listed as "X_T file".They do still show up as STP in Creo's file explorer. Issue came up this week, not sure what changed.No updates made to Creo or Windows. How do I get it back to showing STP files as STP files?Creo  9.0.1.0Windows 10 Pro   

Hi!I would like to know, if is somehow possible to use the Referenc Designator from harness as parameter for balloon, so I can make the position balloons in my drawing.Way the Ref. Designator: because my harness has more than once the same connector. I have to specified this.The Way to do this is the Ref DesinatorBut positioning is assembly functionality. So how can I ether make handmade note as position with REAL harness parameter using the harness model as active (.prt) ot to make positioning using the parameter of the harness and to have the ".assy" as model..Explanation: I have assy ot the cabling: harness and connectors and I have just the harness model in the drawing inside. Tank you!

Hello EveryoneHow to load parts in assemble according to requirement without using IF Else condition in pro program.As I had seen some assemblies has being assembling using search path using external tool acc. to requirement. please guide how to create such type of assembly & tool required for it.I do had basic knowledge- about C & C++thanks in advanceWith regards,Thanoj Kumar     

Does anyone know how to get Mathcad Prime 6 to return the Date and Time? (I know about the time(z) function, its not what I'm looking for. I want to create a 'timestamp' that I can export into Excel with the associated calculation results)

Hello dear community members,   how do you deal with the fact that the toolkit DLLs you compile depend on other DLLs (e.g. any open source libraries)?As far as I know, the additional DLLs are only found when starting the auxiliary application in Creo if they are located in the Creo startup directory or a directory of the PATH environment variable.Or do you know a way for Creo to find the additional DLLs even if they are in the same directory as the Toolkit DLL itself?   Thanks and regards,Domenic

Hello，Everytime I click the links, Creo`s inner browser will open a new window to show the page,But most times I want page show in new tab,Do you know how to set the configuration to change that?Thank you！ 

I'm working on building a table of mass-properties for components in an assembly. I am using assembly patterns for common hardware components, and I would like to obtain an aggregated mass properties for all the fasteners in a pattern (mass, CG, MOI etc) My team-member is moving patterns into separate sub-assemblies to accomplish this (you are able to "activate" and thus isolate the parts as an assembly,) but that feels like quite the convoluted work-around and breaks up the logical organization of my model-tree. Is there a direct way to pull the combined mass properties for a circular pattern of bolts? Note: Some of the patterns are not symmetrical, and I'd prefer to avoid aggregating numbers manually. Thanks in advance.D Hale  

I have a table/repeat region that lists all spools used in my assembly but that is not what i want.  I want the table to list each bundle by name and then show it's length.  Does anyone know how to reference the bundle name in a repeat region?  

Howdy PTC folks! Do y'all know how to run an analysis that can determine what the maximum force load (up to the yield point) can be for any particular low carbon steel part given a specific geometry, and force location/direction.  Surely there is a way to do this, right? I've seen tutorials on how to optimize certain features of the design like material thickness or other dimensions, but what if I just want to know how much of a load a particular part can handle? The only way I know how to do it is by running multiple simulations and increase the load incrementally each time until the von mises stress gets close to the yield strength. Which is very inefficient IMO.  Thanks for any help on this!Kevin      

Hi all, This may be a silly question but I'm just getting started with Mathcad (Prime 9.0) and learning the ropes. In the attached spreadsheet I can't seem to use the solve function to find RB with predefined variables in the equation. If I manually input all the variables into the equation the solve function works but if I leave it as I have it, it does not. Am I doing something wrong or can you just not use pre-defined variables? Thanks,James

Hi, I have some questions about the attached file (questions are highlighted yellow on page 3 & 4). I'm trying to extract columns from my matrices Pz, Px, and My and combine them into new matrices, each with a Pz, Px, and My column, plus zero values for Py, Mx, and Mz. My first question: why do I lose my units when I convert the nested matrices Pz, Px, and My to regular matrices with the method I used? Second question - in order from easy to difficult: How do I create one matrix taking the first column from Pz, Px, and My? How to create three matrices with all columns extracted one by one? How to keep the number of matrices flexible in case columns in Px, Pz, and My are removed or added? I'd really like to understand how to do this for future projects as well. Below an image from Excel on what I'm trying to achieve.Thank you!   

Software version: Cero 9 Noticed a problem when standard steel metal appearance is assigned to a material. When shading with reflections from the view ribbon is used (CTR+1) the appearance is as it should be, however when shading with edges (CTR+2) is used there is no colour assigned to the appearance it seems to revert to a random colour. In my case I have a couple of appearances assigned to a couple of materials and have been cycling through them. The last materials appearance that has been used is what seems to default on the metal appearance when shading display style is selected. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?           

Creo version: 8.0.8.0 Checked the article Article - CS397645 - Windchill Attribute value cannot be propagated to Creo parameter with Limited access (ptc.com) but did not get the solution. Facing an Error "Attribute XXX cannot be propagated to yyy.prt. Modifications made to this attribute in the PDM system will be ignored.”  Article: Reported as SPR Article - CS400349 - Error Attribute XXX cannot be propagated to yyy.prt. Modifications made to this attribute in the PDM system will be ignored.” when opening inventor files in Creo Parametric (ptc.com)                 

I am frequently baffled by this odd behavior:  I am guessing it is related to how Windchill cache works?  Because (I think) it happens when I do a save-as offline and then try to upload a model when back on-line.  So upload fails, I try to investigate dependencies by opening the reference viewer.  System spins its wheels for a minute, comes up with this message:   whether I click ignore or confirm, the next screen is basically empty:   ? so no dependencies - as I expect, since I removed all the old geometry references from it.  So I don't know what's going on as to why it takes ages to load the reference viewer, and its warning message, and the inability to upload / check-in this model.  Will attempt to save my work and restart from a new session, I'm just wondering if someone can shed some light as to what's going on.

Does anyone remember what EMN and EMP stand for in the two files created for import into ECAD software?(EMP = Ecad Mcad Profiles?)   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0ProMdlModificationVerify -> API Giving Modified Flag always True for particular Sub-Assembly. Even after Save and reopen . Since it is a Customer part we are unable to share the Assembly with you . If needed we can connect for Remote debugging .

Hello, some time ago I downloaded a test version of Mathcad Prime 7.0, which then after 30 days got downgraded to the free Express version. Since then I had to reinstall my operating system, and now would like to install Mathcad Express once again. However, when using the installation file I saved, I only have the option to install the 30-day test version of Mathcad, which I'm unable to do, because the account I use already used its 30-day trial version tied to it. Is there a way to skip this test version and instead simply install the Express version right away?

I have a stiffness matrix where units within columns and rows are inconsistent. I tried to inverse the matrix but it said " The matrix element units are not compatible with this operation". How can I fix this? If possible. Or I just did this wrong. ps: I this question  a few years ago. The very same question. However, the solution is no longer working. Thank you for any inputs!   

Hi, I've been trying to connect to creo using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications in Excel and it didn't work whatever I've tried.  Let's start from my setup:Those are system variables that I'm using. I've registered vb_api using vb_api_register.bat in administrator mode I've added Creo VB Api......... to References   I'm not trying to open creo using api. I only want to connect to it using Sub Connect() Dim asynconn As New pfcls.CCpfcAsyncConnection Dim conn As pfcls.IpfcAsyncConnection Dim session As pfcls.IpfcBaseSession Dim mdlname Set conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5) End Sub But no matter what i'm getting errors like this  If  creo isn't running i'm getting error like this   Please suggest to me something so i can fix this
