Which version of Creo using the Unite extension will open 2023 Inventor files?Same question with 2024 Inventor files.

Hello,I am working on a macro in VBA api with creo 4.0 M140 to update relations in a model.I managed to have everything work out with the pfcModel.Model.Import inputing the path for a .txt file with the relations I want and the IpfcImportInstructions object created from relation import instruction. My tests were running well, and then suddenly, the method model.import throws a ToolkitGeneralError that I cannot comprehend. I've tried stripping my code to just the one action of using the import method, but now I keep getting that error, and I do not see what is going wrong.Calling another property of the Ipfc model works so it seems to be correctly defined.Any help will be greatly appreciated !Here is my test code : Sub Run_test()Dim asynconn As New pfcls.CCpfcAsyncConnectionDim conn As pfcls.IpfcAsyncConnectionDim session As pfcls.IpfcBaseSessionDim model As pfcls.IpfcModel 'SESSION INITIALISATIONSet conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5) 'start of the creo vb

Hi, every time I open a particular assembly, I find some parts hided, in the principal representation and, every time I have to run the show all command (Ctrl+Shift+H). How can I show definitively again all the hidden parts?Best regards, Michele Barile  

hi,My Java code calls a bat file which runs the Creo Distribution utility and gets notified when "nmsd.exe" (PTC service for conversion) gets created.Here is the bat file:"%CREO_BASEDIR%\ptcdbatch.bat" -nographics -process C:\temp\convert\conversion.dxc And the conversion.dxc file is as below:<DXC>  <Windchill></Windchill>   <Group DSQM="_LOCAL" Name="IGES 3D Export" Output="2" OutputDir="C:\temp\convert"  PrimaryContent="0" TTD="C:\temp\convert\iges_3d_export.ttd.def" VaultResults="0">  <Object>C:\temp\convert\PartFile.prt.1</Object> </Group></DXC> When the bat file is run, "nmsd.exe" gets called and the part file is converted to the .igs file.But even after the conversion is complete and the log file shows "successful" conversion, the nmsd.exe doesn't get terminated and remains for sometime. Because of this my Java code couldn't understand if the conversion was over successfully.Is there a way to

Hello Team, I’ve developed a Visual Basic API based Creo application. I’ve deployed it in my machine, it is working fine. When I deployed to other end user machines, the application is not working. Below is the error,  I’ve correctly set the Environmental variables and registered VB-Api in client end user machine as well. Can you please resolve this?Tried updating Dot Net Framework to V4.7.2 as well.     

Can anyone tell me how to upgrade my Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express? I had been running the free version on a laptop that I replaced and when I loaded Express on the new laptop I got version 8.0. The old laptop has 6.0. I occasionally run the old laptop in my shop to check a model and can't share a model between them due to the difference in versions.

When publishing a PVZ file from Creo Parametric, the message log will state something along the lines of:  Publish completed - # Errors # Warnings  When # is not 0, how can I actually read what those errors and/or warnings are? I tried generating a log with the published PVZ, but the resulting log is fairly unhelpful, simply stating what was published, where it was published to, and with which recipe file. 

Hello, i would like to know if there is any possibility to import stress map to Creo.We have sheetmetal parts that are made using press and we know what stresses are inside of it. But we need to simulate it and check if stresses are in allowed range. How can i import initial stredded data to creo simulate?

I should be able to edit/modify the global coordinate system (CSYS) when starting a new part.  But when I open the Edit Definition dialog, the Origin and Orientation tabs are greyed out; inaccessible.  I don't understand why.  

I want to make a mapkey, which converts a *.stp file into a *.prt file. First step is to convert it into a *.sat file using save as. with a pauseThat saveas name should be reused when naming the  the final *.part.How can I get the mapkey to read, store and give the final *.prt that name?

Hello, The Maximize function does not work properly in the following case - I need to calculate the worst case error in a current measurement circuit where x, y, z, y, v, w are the sources of error (resistors, opamp gain, offsets, temperature dependance coefficients) and a, b are the current and the temperature which I would like to be parameters so that I can plot later the worst error versus current and temperature. The Maximize function gives the correct answer - all variables saturated at their maximums only for CTOL=10^-9 - this is completely strange and unacceptable behavior! For CTOL=10^-10 the solution is erroneous and also for any other CTOL up to 10^-21: I guess these Maximize and Minimize functions are really nor working well with somewhat more complex examples which unfortunately are present in the real engineering practice! 

Hello,Why do I have 2 different values ​​when calculating the symbolic and numerical value for the same integral like below example? Symbolic calculation:   Numeric calculation:   Symbolic calculation first then numeric calculation:

When you want to create or edit a round or chamfer you should see your selections in the "Sets" column, you could select a set from the "Sets" tab and edit individual model edges, this no longer seems available, you can see the sets in the "Pieces" tab and add or delete sets but not individual edges. I am using Creo 4.0 M100. In the youtube video https://youtu.be/XkNwr49vGEw?si=P_WVyUhm12UAtiR1 you can see him using the "Sets" tab, this no longer works for me, when I click on it nothing appears. you used to able to edit individual edges in a set, for instance if you had selected a large set of edges in a set and one of the edges caused the the feature to fail you could locate the one edge in the "sets" column, remove it and carry on, if you try that in the "pieces" column you only get the option to remove the entire set, which means if it is a large set you have to select all the edges again.    

Hello, I'm trying to import a drawing file to the prt selected by creo using ProSelectionDrawingGet. However, the error PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND appears and cannot proceed. Looking at the meaning, it means no associated drawing found, but I have a drw file in the model file. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if I misunderstood this function or if it was used incorrectly. Thank you. 

HiWhen I have a collapsible area followed by a page break and I close the area,empty pages remain above the page break (see attached file with an example).I didn't have this problem with Mathcad 15. In addition with Mathcad 15 I was able to set page breaks inside a collapsible area, which is veryhandy option when the collapsible area is relatively large. To my understanding naming of areas is also missing from Prime... Any ideas how to solve these problems? Thanks.

I am installing Mathcad 14 from my installation DVD on a new PC. All went well except towards the end a window says, "The wizard is now contacting the PTC licensing server to obtain your license automatically. This may take a few moments." Then another window pops up saying, "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden." What do I do now?   

Hi,   The Toolkit API can calculate the model's outer angle size through ProSolidOutlineCompute. This function can exclude some elements such as datum features and curves. Surfaces and hidden features cannot be excluded from ProSolidOutlineCompute() calculations. We'd like to hear your thoughts on ideas for solving these problems. 1. Exclude hidden features and surfaces of the active model, convert to STEP, and then RETRIVE to perform ProSolidOutlineCompute().: It takes a lot of time2. Use ProSolidFeatstatusGet to visit the Geomitem of features excluding surfaces and hidden features to find the minimum and maximum points of XYZ.   If you have any better ideas, please help.   Warm Regards, SeonHo CHA.

Hi,i have a new laptop to work on mathcad but i can't connect to my user because i have to enter my license when i am hitting enter is says license is used how can i still connect to my user?  

Hello, How to get all the current configurations (the session config) in Creo Protoolkit? I know that there is ProConfigoptionGet function, but it only retrieves the specified option name not all. Thank you! 🙂 MrSteveR_3

Hello, why Mathcad does not find the maximum for this simple problem - it should be when x=1, y=1 and z=1 - in total f=2. For some reason x and y are kept to 0 even when the 0 is excluded from the range of search for x and y:   Thanks!  

Hello Everyone.From : (view in My Videos)To : How to animate a segment ( green ) to rotate around Z-axis ( pink ) (Mathcad 15) ? Thanks in advance for the time and help.Best Regards.Loi.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0The drawing won't open and says "(title of drawing) cannot be retrieved". Has anyone else had a problem with a drawing not being able to be retrieved?No matter what I try I cannot get the drawing to open. This drawing has many sheets with a lot of information and will take many, many hours to recreate.

Previous message:Hello, I am trying to use the "Solve Block" in MATHCAD 8 to evaluate physical constants of materials using experimental values. I have impedance measurements and phase measurements and I obtained some equations that I am trying to place in a system.I used, I assume correctly, the Boolean "=" in the constraints field, defined some guess values and asked for the solution, like in the following text (I omit the rest because otherwise is too long). Nevertheless, there are inconsistencies probably due to the utilization of indexes (my quantities depend on the frequency, while in several examples I have seen just numbers). The red circles around variables to be calculated mean "a function or a variable name is required here". May you help me?  New message:Sorry, I used the PDF in my previous message for simplicity because the code is quite long, and my problem is general: how to use the "solve block" when the quantities in the constraints have an index? My equ

Hi, I still use the WF4 version and I would like to know if on the latest versions of Creo Parametric it is possible to impose tangency conditions on lines/planes/curves in the splines at the intermediate points as happens for Catia.The curves referred to are external to the spline profile.To better understand what I mean, look at thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba8ycG1dPtAat minute 30.45forget the restYou can also get there by building but it's quicker that wayHI

Using CREO Parametric 7.0 I am trying to create a forklift mechanism. In the picture, the bottom of the red screw will be attached to a motor that is mounted to the same plate that the bottoms of the tan channels are. As the motor screws upward, it will lift up the grey section. There will be two cables attached to the tan bar running between the two channels. Those cable will then run over the grey bar and back down to the tan hooks. This means that the brown frame will be lifted as the screw lifts the grey frame. My question is, how do I simulate this wire in a way that will allow me to do an Ansys simulation of the forces when the lift is fully extended? I can also use CREO simulate if necessary.
