how to control file save iterations saving in folder. limiting no of iterations getting saved in foldernote save_file_iterations” to “yes”but want to set limit like 10 version only. 

I'm trying to constrain a part, but when I go into the constraints, some of the parts disappear. I need to constrain to these parts, so any help would be appreciated.  

Good evening community, I have a problem with the combo box tool, it turns out that I want to use this tool and I get the error that I show below, Install Mathcad Prime 8.0.0, on a Windows 7 operating system, if someone can give me a reason for this error.   ------------------------------------------------------ Translated the text from Spanish to English using google translate:Subject: problemas con cuadro combinadoBody: Buenas noches comunidad, tengo un problema con la herramienta cuadro combinado , resulta que deseo utilizar esta herramienta y me aparece el error que muestro más abajo, Instale Mathcad Prime 8.0.0, en un sistema operativo windows 7, si alguien me puede dar una razón por este error. - By community moderation team ------------------------------------------------------      

Can you please help me converting this File

Hello everyone,I am attempting to perform the optimal transportation problema with simulated annealing, but I cannot do the initial approach correctly.Can anybody shed light on this procedure?CarlosRomero 

For ModelCHECK in Creo 9 (or 10) is it possible to only run the checks on models which are not Locked?    If the Windchill status is unlocked then I'd like to run ModelCHECK.   I know I can configure the condition.mcc file to key in on parameters like  PTC_MODIFIED and PTC_WM_LIFECYCLE_STATE.   But these miss many use cases. Filtering on read only status would fit our workflow better.     Maybe there is a hidden parameter value which can be accessed by the condition.mcc file?

Is there an easy way to take a Creo model (fully annotated with view states identified) and convert it to a PVZ with a 2D PDF attached to that PVZ?  The idea is to be able to give someone the PVZ file, but for them to also have access to the traditional 2D drawing for reference.    

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?)
