If I have a multi-bodied part I need to first create several part files then individually export each as an STL to save parts for printing. It would be nice if I could easily export without creating several extra parts that I don't otherwise need. It would also be good to do this from an assembly.          

I am using Creo 9.0.5.0. When I replace models in a drawing, the drawing models menu manager is "hiding" behind the drawing instead of remaining on top of the drawing so I have to tab to it in order to be able to click on "Done/Return". Anyone else experiencing this? I moved it to the right, but after closing and reopening, it back to the same spot.     vs     Thanks, Dale  

I'm brand new to Creo 8.0 after spending the last 15 years using Inventor.  I typically use the pan feature much more frequently than orbit and I would like to swap the functionality so that clicking the MMB allows me to pan, and holding shift while clicking the MMB allows me to orbit.  I did see someone had asked this question back in 2017 and there was no solution given, but I am wondering if anything has developed since then.  Thanks!    

Hi i'm AndreaI'm using Creo 7.0.2.0, i would like to export my drawing in an immagine in png format (without the background).I know it's possible to export in jpg and tiff format, but i haven't found the png format. Can someone help me, please?thankyoubest regards  

Hi    Please let me know how to strikout the note as shown in attached pic. currently we are writing the text and then drawing line above it. please let me know is it possible to directly strikeout the note in creo. 

We have a scenario where i would like a certain folder on a network drive to have the instance index updated.  Id prefer it be a behind the scenes action like at a  command prompt or batch file. any thoughts? currently running Creo 8

I"m not well versed in IT details but if I can install MathCad on my teaching laptop somehow I would use it a lot more and teach with it since it can benefit my students. Currently we have Prime 6.0.0 on computers in a lab but that isn't convenient for me to get to. If I can understand some basic details about how or what to do or bullet points to discuss with my college IT department, it would be a blessing.  I have a 2022 Apple M2 Pro with Sonoma 14 os.

Hello, I am need of assistance with licensing for MathCAD 3.0 prime. We currently have Mathcad 3.0 installed on one computer and would like to install it on another computer. However, I am not sure if our current license allows for multiple installations with only one user/computer at a time since we only have one license of Mathcad 3.0. So I need help verifying if our license is a flexible installation license where would could use it on different computers but one user/computer at time? If not, what are my options for obtaining another license for Mathcad 3.0? (PS. I could not create a support ticket since I do not have a product code for Mathcad 3.0 prime. I looked through all of our licensing emails back in 2014, but could not find an actual "Product code")

I have an assembly that I've created a section view of, and I'd like to export a file (preferably something like a CSV) that contains a list of the XYZ coordinates of the section. Ideally, I'm trying to just get the coordinates of the section plane's intersection with the top surface of the model, as if I was tracing a laser measurement tool along a line over the top surface. How would I accomplish this? I'm using Creo 4.0.

What function does <PROPERTY name="USE_TRANSFORM"/> serve in the file mathcad.p.xml?How can I pass a transform file (MST) to the MSI when using the PIM installer (setup.exe -xml "%~dp0mathcad.p.xml")?Is this possible through the mathcad.p.xml?  Is there a way to configure directly in the mathcad.p.xml file to prevent the creation of the program menu shortcut for "PTC Mathcad License Wizard" to C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0\LicenseWizard.exe?Thank you.

Using Mathcad Prime 8.0.I am trying to define a variable in a matrix format, where variable has an index i= 1,2,..5.I am able to define all variables, but cannot use a single entry, let's say d5. What is the proper way of defining my variable in such case? I tried with both matrix and table, getting same, "underdefined" fail. I also would like one oth the variables to depend on the others, namely l3=h-l1-l2-l4-l5(these are partial lengths of the entire hight of construction). Can one define such variables in Mathcad Prime?

Reconfigure crashing when trying to start. Getting a WER-Dump (pim_re.exe) which i cannot access. Using Creo Parametric Version 9.0.0.0. WER-Dump is included. Any ideas on how to fix this?    

Hello,In MathCAD 15, you can use " If" and "And" to satisfy two conditions. i don't see" And" in Prime. How do i do that in Prime? Thanks,Sam    

Has anyone tried to retrieve a new license file this week? We purchased some additional licenses and I added them to our server yesterday but I have not received the new license files. Usually I get a new license file in about an hour. I also requested a detailed license report about 4 hours ago and it has also not shown up in my mailbox. I did get an email about a case I opened, so ptc.com is not a blocked domain.  

J and Big Omega are 3x3 matrices. Little omega is a 3x1. Mathcad will not solve this with the matrices defined and gets the wrong answer with them undefined. Nu should be equal to (Omega)*J*(Little Omega). Any idea why this is happening?(Mathcad Prime 9.0)        

Hello!I have a problem in the drawing. The base part's crosshatchinghanging in space inside my fasteners.The holes are made in the assembly  

Hi Creo colleagues We use Creo 8.0.4.0, and I try to perform the views primarily in 3D as Combination States before I  apply them in 2D drafting,  This problem is somethin I face only for the 3D visualization.  For cross-section view I face the problem that an annotation derived from the feature dimension becomes invisible because I cut-off the attachment point of the dimension. See pictures: picture 1 with invisible dimension 15:picture 2 with highlighted dimension 15, selected in the Detail Tree:I the selected dimension is released it becomes invisible again. The dimension becomes invisible because the attachment points of the dimension is cut-off by the cross-section. (Experience from several similar situations) If I switch the section direction the dimension 15 becomes visible. BUT, I cannot switch all the times views. Or let's say "I don't like to switch"  views which are more complicated as the shown one. This would lead to undesi

Hello,As the topic, How to select multiple options from one module model?This problem we meet in this kind of situation: A customer wants buy  two options in one proect(one for spare compents);And this image show the problme : Creo knows I want select these two options,there is an alert incon(I dont know how to get the waring text):And after I click "Create Product Variant" , the reslut is not a normal assembly 3D model, but is a new  configurable product like this:Would anybody knows: where the mistake I made, and how to correct it that make Creo generate a normal  assembly model with two options.Thank you!   

This month’s challenge is fairly open-ended: create art in Mathcad Prime. Using the Chart Component, XY Plot, Polar Plot, Contour Plot, or 3D Plot, create some kind of image that evokes the beauty of math. It can be as simple or as complex as you want. Here are a couple 2D curves I created:   Here is a surface called a “monkey saddle” along with 3D Plots of its Gaussian curvature and mean curvature:   Feel free to make something light-hearted and fun. Someone posted an equation for the chest symbol for a certain caped crusader online. Here is that equation adapted for the Chart Component in Mathcad Prime:   One resource that I have used for my curves and surfaces is “Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces” by Alfred Gray. Many of the equations can be adapted for graphing in Mathcad. What art can you make with Mathcad?   Find the Mathcad Community Challenge Guidelines here!  

After Mathcad 15 worksheet conversion into Mathcad Prime 9 I'm getting an error: Please help. Mathcad 15 did not produce an error on those matrix division.  

I have seen this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hky98wUL-jo&list=PLRhPac0z_f-FIsmKbE1fR1ZlEMXBZcZvN from David Martin on worst drawing practices. There, he says that most dimensions should come from the model. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxKmlE8afhs on worst modeling strategies, he says that you should not create your model in a way that represents manufacturing. But, when I make a drawing, it is mostly for manufacturing. And if I did not build my model in respect to manufacturing, then I can not take the dimensions etc. over from the model. I also have made the experience that when I make a new model, it is built up in a way that is different to how it is manufactured. For example, the lathe operator maybe needs diameters and everything dimensioned to one edge of the part. But, when I modeled the part in Creo, I maybe dimensioned a revolve in reference to another revolve. So they do not reference the same edge. Does somebody maybe know how to deal with thi

Can i update my READEXCEL value automatically by updating my excel instead of redefining it again? 

I created a project using the creo framework module and now I need to create the optimization of cuts for rectangular tube profiles, for example:I buy a 6m bar and I need to know the best way to use the pieces of everything to cut this bar  Is there any way for me to create this with PTC technologies ?
