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

HiWhat is the difference between unit  "ton" and "tonne" ? 

Hello,Does anyone know how to change the dimensions of the drawing lines because when I save in pdf format... I have big lines that appea. Thanks. 

Hello, Does anyone know how to solve the problem below? I can't get rid of the bar.Thanks          

Hello,I would like to ask You if it´s possible set the gap between leader(dimension) line and dimension text (on the picture).  I tried to use dim_text_gap but it doesn´t work as we wanted. i found article that is impossible ( https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Increase-dimension-offset-from-leader/td-p/616756 ) Just want to make sure, that still valid. Other solution we already discussed. Thank YouHave a nice day 

Hello, this is my first posting in the ptc-community and I hope, I put my question in the correct group. My name is Rudolf and I used creo elements direct modelling for about 6 years to create little things for my model railroad, but now I have a problem. I wanted to start the program, and because of I don't know the proxy-configuration (I think I don't use a proxy), creo asked for the activation-key. Normally I clicked on the button (Aktivierungsschlüssel anfordern [get activation key] and a new window opens in firexfox, where I can enter my email-adress and my password and get a temporary activation key for 72 h. But since yesterday evening the new window opens in firefox, but the screen keeps white and after a few minutes the message is "Die Verbindung zu www.ptc.com wurde unterbrochen, während die Seite geladen wurde" (the connection to www.ptc.com was interrupted during the site was load.) I am very sad, because I actually create the station of my hometown for my model railroad in

Hello everyone,   I have 10 drawings in format A (A.frm), but now, I want to change all of them to format B (B.frm), Does PTC Creo have any tools to automatically update drawings to format B (B.frm)?        

Hello,  I have an existing P&ID drawing created in Creo Schematics, and it has a BOM table as shown in the attached Image1.png file. I am trying to update this table to change certain information on it. When I tried to right-click this table, and select Properties, I get an error message as shown in the attached Image2.png file. Is there a way to fix this issue?  

Hello, i would like to ask you for help. I would like to modify dimensions symbols. In drawing, when you click on dimension and want to modify dimension text. There is symbol pallet. (diameter, +/-.) I would like to edit these smybols. Can you help me how to do it? I think there should some file where these symbols are saved,  i don´t know where.  Thank You for helpCREO PArametric 4Have a nice dayGH      

Hello all,I want to solve a formula symbolically according to a ratio.Here is a simple example:Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this?I use Mathcad Prime 9. GreetingsPhilip 

Hello,  I am trying to run this code and plot only "U" for the augmented matrix "R". However I am getting an error R has multiple definitions.  Please help! Thanks   

i use creo parametric 8.0.6.0 i have an assembly of a rope with a hook on it. but for on the drawing i want to rotate the hook 90 degrees so you can see its a hook.i used exploded view for this. and to move some other parts.this works for the current width of the assembly (my assembly chainges width based on a parameter).but for anny other width this rotating action seems to be done using the point(axis) in space where it used to be. resulting in the part moving away from the rope. the yellow eye nut in the picture also gets rotated 90 degrees, but this axis is in the width directon so its fine. does annyone know how to get it to use the actual rotation axis instead of the point in space it used to be in?

I have a problem about exporting my model into .pvz file. However when i attempt to export, they got an error that generates traceback.log file.You can see some attempts that i tried;- Updating graphic card driver- Assigning a parameter which enable_opengl_fbo no

HiI am using Mathcad 9.0. I want to find the current I1 and put the value into the second equation so that I can represent the equation in I=U/Z from. But I can do it manually and not in Mathcad. I have attached my mathcad file as well as the picture, how I want to express my model.Please provide your valuable time!Regards,Waqas        

Hi, I'm currently having programming issues with converted mcxd files See attached screenshot. It's not reading PRN correctly. I have the file installed and using the read data file it finds the prn file it just won't populate the data. See attached screenshot.Any info would be greatly appreciated. The university used to use mathcad 14 and i believe when converting the file the si units are not populating either.Thanks,Josh
