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

@skunks @SweetPeasHub Hello Team,  I am trying to run the non-linear analysis for assembly with contacts.

When opening views in a pvz file in Creoview 9.1 , when i click on one of the viewables, (IE D01, D02...) It shades the image.  I am not sure what setting is causing this.  I attached an image on this thread   

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? 

I have a top level BOM that list all my parts with a column that calls out what page each component/item is on. Multiple components are shown on various D size prints with a "part" BOM located below each item. The "part" BOM is automatically populated with &sheet_number. The top level BOM, however, is not tied to this &sheet_number and can not auto populate. I understand repeat regions would tie them together (&asm.mbr.sheet), but I'd have to manually type the number in. The problem with that, parts tend to switch pages etc..... I just want the sheet number to auto populate on both BOM's without ever needing to be manually entered.  Is this possible? I thought I had it working, but I was wrong.

I am using Creo Simulate Release 4.0 and DatecodeM080I am facing an issue with Creo Simulate. I need support for it.I am running a modal analysis, but every time I set the output to get “Mass participation factor” the run fails.The same run completes if Mass participation factor is unchecked.Here are the errors that I facedRun failed

I am using PTC Creo 8.0 and I need to do a model about a real object ( an old calculator), and I don't know how to start the sketch.If somebody could send, how the reference sketch looks like (for skeleton modelling) that would be a lot of help.The pictures show the calculator.    

I have enormous number of .xmcd files needed to be converted to .mcdx. Inside most of them there are links to each other. Considering nested structure of my files and the fact that you can not choose the whole folder for nested convertion in built-in MathCAD Prime Converter I need to automate at least filling Converter with list of files. Would be even better - to make the whole process fully automatic. Have someone done this before? Is there any API for the Converter? Nothing like that was found by me in the PTC support database 😞There is some kind of workaround - to generate multiple paths to files relative to the root folder and join them with " "`s but resulting string is far too long to be accepted by the FilePickupDialog of the Converter. Too many files needed to be converted.

Currently using, Prime 9.0.0.0. In ANY version, is there a way to have a simple database query like return "weight" from "AISC Shapes.xlsx" where "Name" = "C10x15.3"? Or workaround? Is it possible with the tables you can create in Mathcad? I can create the table if need be.Thank you in advance.  

Hi folks!I have one issue that I can't solve on my own, perhaps someone could help me with it. Since I have to use a different balloon text height from the main text height, I manually change it every time creating an assembly drawing. Is there a way to input an exclusive balloon text height in prodetail file? I couldn't find the necessary parameter there.Please note that I'm talking about the text size, not the min/max balloon radius. Thanks in advance!

Hey!I have licence problem after installation Creo 10.0 - student version. I start the program and I always recieve a messege: I have to renew my licence. I don't know why, because I used the right code from PTC's website.I've also got a 'txt' file per email (Creo licence), but I don't know exactly, in which order should I copy it after dowload. Thanks for the answers!
