Hello,I'using Modeling 19.0: axes of symmetry that have been manually stretched, both by means of handles and of the dedicated command, will be restored to their original extent each time the owner view gets updated.Does anyone share this experience and know if a workaround is possible?Thank youMarco

In Creo 9.0.4.0, in the new ISO_1302_2002_SURF_FIN, there is a selection of manufacturing processes.One of them is "GROUND" This is driven by a parameter : ptc_sf_manufacturing_method. See screenshot.For some particular reason we want to have this in GRIND, because of a supplier remark. Despite the fact that this is ISO, they want to have the present tense, GRIND instead of GROUND on the drawing.So now, we modify the value manually.I want to copy this symbol. Is it possible to modify the value of this parameter.Where can I find this parameter? Process:From drawing, createSurface Finishbrowse Surface Finish Symbolssystem SymbolssurffinsISOISO_1302_2002_surf_fin.symPlace surf fin and select Line, Two_line_Requirements, manufacturing method, pull down menu "ground"I want to copy this symbol using:Define Symbol<enter name>Copy Symbol and select existing symbolselect Line, DoneTWO_LINE_REQUIREMENTSMANUFACTURING METHOD<pick location in graphics screen> DoneAtt

I'm currently using my school's Mathcad license of 8.0.0.0 and currently trying to symbolically solve a system of equations but it compute. Is there any work around this for the 8.0.0.0 version?   

I have some Parts which are without any Datum Planes, Combined States, Relations and so on. Bevor I check them in into Windchill I need to bring the Environment of my Standard Start Part to these "Empty" Parts - What is the best practice for that, because doing this manually is a lot of work.  

I'm currently using an 'inlbs' (inches, pounds) template for my projects in Creo Parametric. However, I frequently need to input dimensions that I already know in millimeters. I've tried to directly input mm values while specifying the units (e.g., "50 mm"), hoping Creo would auto-convert them to inches. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. Has anyone found a way to directly input dimensions in millimeters while using an 'inlbs' template? I'm looking for a solution that eliminates the need to manually convert these values before entering them into Creo. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 

Maybe I'm jaded but i spent 10 seconds looking at this and it reinforces how cryptic creo can be. A good example would be a physical parameter (length. mass etc). None of this explains how the itemized list relates to actual parameters in the model. It is insanely maddening how non-intuitive this feature is. Most of us are designers and software users, not software engineers.    I have CSL loads that I would love to report on a drawing. I copy/paste and its there. That is like a stone tablet. why can't this information be available in a table?

Good morning friends of the group, sorry if my questions are easy, but I'm new to Mathcad. I don't know how to solve this type of equation, I would like the answer to be in degrees.The answer must be 120º.          

Is it possible in annotation to convert the symbols created as BOM position indicator into texts?Because in this way they are not editable after having created them on the drawing, not even as characteristics!

It would be great if Mathcad offers basic sketches which is always required in engineering calculations, with snapping options (grid, markups) along with tying the dimensions to the calculations. Sketches with the toggle option for transparent or opaque background would help in the documentation. Currently only option is using the PowerPoint saving as Png and inserting as picture in Mathcad (Which is involving and cumbersome).      

I present to you my failures. I need a better hack. CREO 7.0.3.   What?: What I was trying to do is nothing new. Creating an inspection number symbol/mapkey to place and increment next to dimensions.   Why?: Because best case I have 11 clicks/selections to place current symbol/relate/set with average probably closer to 17 for one symbol. 150 inspection items x 17 clicks/selections = 2700 clicks/selections. My previous job drafting department refused to do inspection numbers. I can see why now that I do my own drafting and my current job does inspection numbers.  Goal?: Select dimension, run mapkey, done. 2 clicks. Solution made within CREO. No 3rd party tools other. I separated it out into steps. I would either combine the code at the end or nest the mapkeys.   DONE: Symbol with variable text inside (it is an oval the same as the oval around a dimension if the display is set to inspection). May need to do more here. origin? offset? baked into symbol for easier init

Does anyone know how to make a mapkey (Creo 9+) to consistently select features by name? For example, here is an old one: mapkey sx #sel by menu; #axis; ~ Select `sellist0` `Namelist`1 `A_1`;Super simple, selects the axis "A_1" in nearly every situation in Pro/E. Use it when defining features, use it in sketcher when selecting references, and when dimensioning. Works in part, sketcher, etc.. No need to have axis visible, and no need to scroll the model tree to find it. Super consistent, and always works. How can we do that in Creo? I want to do it (again) for all the normal datums that are standard for my start files. It's extremely useful for defining sketch placement, making measurements, placing dimensions, defining references, etc.. Unfortunately, I don't see how to use the new selection by name spaghetti of Creo to do it consistent for all situations. Anyway, the standard scrolling for datums all the time is SSOOOO slow with large parts and assemblies - making

Good day. We have a large assembly and want to break it up into smaller representations as would typically be the case. We have a large Bill of Materials (BOM) for the Master representation and then of course the smaller BOMs appear for the step-by-step assembly representations. Problem is that the index/item number changes within the smaller BOMs compared to the master rep BOM. Is there a way to match the master rep. BOM index/item number to the smaller BOM for the smaller representation? Another problem is that the smaller representations cannot be ballooned from the large BOM as the large BOM is linked to the Master rep. Is there a way to allow ballooning a smaller representation ISO views from the Master rep. BOM? 

I'm creating an assembly in Creo 9 where each subset has a different PROJECT_NAME and I would like the IFX items to have PROJECT_NAME at the beginning of their names. It's possible?     

I hope you're all doing well. I've recently encountered a challenge while working on my CAD drawings, and I'm in need of some guidance. Specifically, I'm looking for a way to move the callout arrowhead to the center of a hole in my drawings, rather than having it point to the edge of the circle. I believe this adjustment would enhance the precision and clarity of my designs.

Hi How do I program an if-loop with a range variable, and not a scalar? Is that possible? 

Hi Experts,In Drawing sheet i need to find the Grid location where the notes is placed. Using VB API, Toolkit Code Or Macro. Help me to find it out.Thanks in Advances.Regards,Sujithkumar.N

Hello All,I am having an sample assembly (with 2 sub part in it) on which I am running Modelcheck on all level on main assembly. Showing me  0 error.When I open subpart & ran Modelcheck showing an error layer. My question is, why sublevel error is not picked by Top level modelcheck run even after I ran for all sub level. PFA screenshots for clarification.     

      

I am trying to create a title block for my template and currently facing an issue with Creo Parametric where the "Report Symbol" is not showing up as expected. I don't even see it under 'data' Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, could you please guide me on how to resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello, What to add in below program for example in order to limit the values on x and y axis at: So that the graph does not have more than 10^307 points to display, even if the program has available to display more points greater than 10^307.Or what can be done in situations like this?                 I thought at below variant, but this variant does not differentiate in other type of  cases like division by zero:   If we run with the first program:

Guys, with the objective of creating a project with sheetmetal parts of various sizes depending on variables, which is better: creating the project using skeleton and publish geometry, or working with flexibility and datum planes? From what I saw, publish geometry references all components in the skeleton, and there would be no way to generate flat files (necessary for .DXF for laser cut) for each part using family table. Would it be possible? 

Hello,i don't want to read excel file to get the material properties for a given section. As you can see in the attached file, i copied the material section properties and pasted it into mathcad prime. Is there a way the user can select the material as i am showing below the table TC= " A22B", and have it look up certain section properties. I was able to do it in MathCAD 15. Thanks,Sam 

IS there any way to reposition the SIZE callout of a datum target balloon?   So for this example, is there a way to move the "50X100" so that things are clearer?     

I've been working on a project using Creo and I've encountered an issue that has me stumped. I noticed that even after I've locked the centerline, it still moves unexpectedly. This happens even though no additional forces or constraints are being applied to it. (view in My Videos)
