I know that SHADE_QUALITY #  will affect the resolution of the PVZ file,  I'm looking for specific config.pro options outside of the recipe file.  Thanks in advance!

I am adding explode lines to an explode view in Creo but I can't change the direction of the lines when they are pointing in the wrong direction. The flip button is greyed out.

Hi I am following the tutorial steps and I am trying to select the shading from display style for 2D. However, the system does not allow me to select it. Is t  

Hello, I tried to calculate the Steinmetz coefficients as it was shown in another thread "Curve fitting", and I would like to know how to do a log-log plotting of the power density vs magnetic flux density.I would like to see how accurate is the formula from my calculations and how well I can match with the graph from the datasheet. Thank you! 

Hello, How to count for how many duplicate elements (excluding the original element) exist in a vector and a matrix? So, as example if in t1 vector element 2 is present for four times, then element 2 has 3 duplicate (four times - 1 time for original element = 3 duplicate).  

Hi,   I'd like to reuse a variable's content in other worksheets. For this, I use a reference to this sheet. However, I'd like not to read the entire sheet, but only a specific variable. Does anybody know of a way to achieve this? Thanks in advance   Raiko   MathCad 15 on a 64 bit, win10 machine    

when importing a step242 to Creo all of my MDB geometry for features such as hole and countersinks come as radius surfaces. Can someone explain how to import these features as full diameters?  Thank you.   

Using Creo 8 I am trying to create an assembly of electrical components on a din rail.  The assembly includes various quantities of fuse blocks, circuits breakers, contactors and, but not limit to, relays.  Each end of the din rail has a "stopper" which serves as a clamp to keep all the components in place.  The left stopper is fixed, but the right must float to compensate for the type and quantity of components.As a simple example, I would have a din rail assembly with the left stopper, a fuse block, a contactor, a relay and the right stopper.  The next option would not have the relay, so the end stopper would have to move next to the contactor.I have constructed 2 constraint sets for the right stopper and used a family table to manage them.  I ran the parameters command and select parameters when adding the column in the family table.  Verify was a success on both.  When I look at them in the family table viewer, the right stopper seems to stay

Hello everyone!   I have a problem understanding the selection filter in Creo 4.0 assembly mode. By default the filter (in assembly) is set to geometry and I was wondering If anyone has an explanation - Why did they implemented this change? What is the benefit? Why would anyone want to select geometry on assembly level?   I couldn’t find any benefits but I did notice that this change caused an increase in number of clicks for most basic operations ( like component selection ). For example in Creo 3.0 if I wanted to select and activate a component that was on the inside of an assembly ( behind other components). Clicks: Right mouse button (until desired component is highlighted) Left mouse button to select the desired component Right mouse button - Activate   Creo 4.0Clicks: Select selection filter Change the selection filter to part Right mouse button (until desired component is highlighted) Left mouse button to select the desired component Right mouse button - Activat

How can i add or remove components from groups in Creo parametric 6.0? Thank youJuan Gutierrez

I'm making a drawing of a model that was created by someone else. When I show the dimensions on the drawing - all of the symbols show up as square blocks.  The numbers are fine, but the symbols for diameter, counterbore, depth etc. all show up looking like square blocks. Anybody know a reason why?

Hello, we have been using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to deploy software to the clients so they can install it "manually" without having admin access. Creo used to be installed with a silent install, users needed temporary admin access to execute a batch file that triggered the silent install.  This year we finally managed to put Creo in the SCCM as well. Unfortunately it does not work very reliably. It's less a problem if a former Creo version had been installed on the computer, with new laptops it pretty much never works.  IT found out that when using SCCM the installation happens with user "system" (session 0) and then fails. If executed manually, as a local admin, "session 1" is used and it works just fine. SCCM is not supported and I'm out of ideas how to share and deploy the software to 12 sites in 5 countries. How do huge enterprises with hundreds or thousands of seats do this?

Hello,How to draw Nyquist Plot in Mathcad Prime?For example:   (Last 2 images are the same) For more info about Nyquist Plot: https://lpsa.swarthmore.edu/Nyquist/NyquistExamples.html 

I am using Creo 7.0, I am trying to copy my config mapkeys in Text folder. But Creo is not loading the config files every time I open Creo. 

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0Using the support page https://support.ptc.com/help/mathcad/r9.0/en/#page/PTC_Mathcad_Help/partial_differential_equations_in_solve_blocks.html#wwID0EQ5E6The following solve block should work (// denotes beginning of new line, and | denotes limits of solve block):|// u(0,t)=0// u(x,0)=s(x*pi)+1/2*sin(x*3*pi)// u.t(x,t)=1/4*u.xx(x,t)-1/2*u.xx(x,t)// pdesolve(u,x,[0],t,[0],10,10)// [1] [1]|where the following is intended to represent a 1x2 matrix:// [0]// [1]Instead there is an error message: "this value must be a function"Here are the errors that I faced"this value must be a function" error when attempting to use pdesolve in the above context.

I have 28 years of hourly measured data and I need to extract the maximum value of each 12 month period from the 1st of July to the last of June. The data is in an Excel file. The first column contains the data in the form of YMD e.g. 2023-09-18. The second column contains the hour e.g. 01:00:00. The third column contains the measured parameter e.g. 18.9. Is there an "easy" way to extract the maximum of each 12 month period, using Mathcad Prime? I have the latest version. Kind regardsBjörn 

This is for Mathcad 15 although I would like to apply later to Prime 8.0.  My goals are for all of the boolean variables to be active for all portions of the sheet.  I want to defeat the top-down, left-right programming in the sheet.  See attached. 

I was handed a 43 page PDF document and told to read this to get my license installed.  The PDF document makes no sense to me - it's all gibberish as far as I'm concerned.  My guess is that this document covers every license file case for every product that PTC owns.   Just so you know - I don't spend every day of a 365 day year installing licenses for PTC products.   I install my license once a year.  I'm just not going to remember how it works for my case.   It would be easier if I was handed the text license file.  That's what other companies do.  Why Can't PTC just email me the license file and skip all the convoluted hoopla?   So, how I'm I going to get my license file?  Please.  

So i had to do some work in laplace. I used matlab instead because mathcad couldnt figure out the answer. My matlab script does it no problem and returns the equation in this attached sheet. I have removed the numbers for simplicity. This is the time domain inverse laplace equation.  The answer is correct. When i input the number i get what i expect. the problem is, i need this to be in mathcad to go with some other work.When i add it to mathcad, it does not like the units. The sheet i have attached is just doing the math with the units to show where the problem is. Mathcad is upset because in a certain part of the equation its multiplying Volts by ohms This is just a fact of what the inverse laplace is. The answer of the equation should have units of seconds.  I have no idea how to make this work. Im sure there is some trick to this. Can someone lend a hand?

I have a drawing with multiple sheets. Sheet one has a master assembly and the subsequent sheets have sub-assemblies that belong to the master assembly. Sheet 1 behaves correctly, but the parameters on other sheets doesn't behave as expected. When I create a new sheet, the parameters in the table in the new sheet will be linked to whatever model is on the current sheet. When I try to edit the parameters in the new sheet, they have some random references attached, for example scale parameter would be "&scale:115", not sure where the number 115 come from, so if I edit this number out, then the scale is representative of the current active model. Is there anyway the sheets display parameters that are active on the respective sheets? I work around by individually removing the reference the parameters on every sheet. Currently, every parameter in the title block-title, scale, mass, drawing number etc. retain a reference to the model from the previous sheet.  

Hello,I'm using the Zemax opticbuilder add-in with Creo student edition. One of the great features of this add-in is the generation of 2d drawings based on iso standards. Unfortunately, the template can be used only with a commercial license even if our Zemax license is an educational one... with the agreement of Zemax, would it be possible for you to make the template compatible with the student edition? Cheers

Hello,Might be a beginner's question but how and where do I edit the messages that are printed to Message log?  In my local CAD environment I have created a mapkey that performs operation X. I want to print a message like: "Execution of Operation X" when I use the mapkey.  Picture below depicts examples of printed messages. How and where I do edit these? I use Creo 4.0.Thanks in advance!
