Hi, recently changed to Creo 10.0 and noticed that the "standard color" for start templates is not the usual grey anymore. Instead volume parts are kind of lilac, while sheetmetalparts are slighly green. Is there anyway to change this back to the standard grey? I could of course color the templates now, but all of my older projects look lilac and green.

Good day.   I have a problem with Assembly drawings in CREO 10.0. Some lines/edges of parts that have been imported as STEP models show up in an assembly drawing even when behind other parts. These tubes are heat shrink wraps on cable behind several other parts and... These are connectors also displaying through several other parts in the assembly. I've tried the "Import Fix" tool etc., but with no luck.   Any advice will be appreciated.                          

Hello,   does anyone know if it's possible to inject a message into the message log? Let me explain the problem I'm trying to solve and maybe someone can suggest a better solution. We have a start tool which sends the users the right configurations upon startup. And with that the configurations they get are based on groups. So what we would like to display somewhere inside Creo is which group the users has started with.    thanks, Bruce

Hi all, I am working in Creo 9.0.1.0 and when I measure a feature part, then copy the measurement, it seems that Creo does not copy the value. I have tried Ctrl + C to no avail, and right click, copy to no avail. I have tried copying other things on my computer and there's no problem with it. Ctrl + C clearly works in Creo as I can copy and paste a datum plane with it, for example. Any idea why I am unable to copy a measurement? It is breaking my workflow as I need to manually write down the number then retype it where I want to use it. Thank you,Jeff Houston

Attempting to design a sheet metal box for an electrical enclosure.  Will end up needing to be watertight, so trying to avoid large gaps in corners on the flat wall so they can be welded closed.  Using the "Flat" tool creates these large corner gaps.  Any ideas? 

In Creo View version 5.x the lines on the aforementioned 4K-monitor are extremely thin (I assume the same would be true for Creo). This is especially the case for HLR view. The screen is a 4K monitor measuring 24" and having 196 dpi.   Is there an option in Creo View to increase the line width? If not, I suggest adding this, because the lines on high-resolution devices simply get too thin if kept at one pixel line width.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to do this? If I have a fully formed sheetmetal part and I want the driving surface to be on the opposite side from where it is now? Duckduckgo finds a question regarding exactly that in the forum, but for some reason it has been "archived" and I can't read it. https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Change-driving-surface-on-sheetmetal-part/td-p/92134  

Hello,  We are leveraging Creo Illustrate with our CAD data coming from CATIA (not integrated with Windchill). When we import a CATIA file into Creo Illustrate, the following parts of the CATproduct are not being imported and I'm curious if there is a way to make these features import:  CATIA Named Views CATIA ScenesCATIA Functional Tolerancing & Annotations (FT&A) CapturesCATIA FT&A Views  When we import Creo files, Creo Illustrate will recognize alternate representations & combination states, which would be equivalent functionality to some of the CATIA functionality mentioned above. Does anyone know how to get these features to also import in? 

Hello everyone, I encountered problem in solving the equation which is in format of >=.I wrote the equation but there are two problems:1. the equation in format >= doesn't give straightly answer for the result of deltaP. (attached in the picture)2. there are issues with the units as the software doesn't generates units automatically which assuming it's related to the first issue mentioned in 1 as it's not giving direct answer for delta P. Please kindly advise to resolve this I attached the Xps file of this in this context.Thank you

Hello,I'm a Creo Parametric 4.0 user. I'm updating the drawing templates for my company and I would like to add repeat regions in a table. In the repeat regions, I intend to display 3D-model parameter.However, for some reason, I'm not able to add repeat regions in a couple of table cells and an error message appears. In most cells it works perfectly fine, but in some cells it really bugs out. See attached pictures. If I unmerge the large cells, I'm able to create smaller, independent regions, But I want the region to be defined in large merged cells.The error message doesn't tell why it couldn't create the repeat region, so I need your advice. How can I resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! Erik  

Hello,I need to export multiple DRWs to PDF,I tried with Creo Distributed batch but it only got a maximum of 10 DRWs,If it exceeds 10 DRWs, the process will be stopped   

We are in Creo 9 and I have a very strong feeling it is possible with a config option to set the number of decimal places only for the tolerance of a dimension independently from the dimension setting itself.  Currently our decimal places setting by default is shown on this pic. Although our config doesn't contain the default_dec_places option but the default value is 2:And compared to that I would like to set the tolerance decimal places to 3 instead of "Same As Dim".I can hardly imagine there is no config option for that, for example dim_tol_dec_places or something like that. Of course I've done some research and found these articles about tolerance decimal places, but as I understood these are not what I am looking for.  https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r10.0/usascii/index.html#page/detail/About_Setting_Decimal_Places_for_Dim_Tol_Values.html https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r9.0/usascii/index.html#page/detail/detail_options

Dears I've noticed that most of the licenses from our clients are tied to dongles. Mathcad Prime 7.0 can be installed, but 8.0 cannot. The licensing has been upgraded to 8.0, so is it because the license is tied to the dongle that I can't perform the installation?Or do I need to install additional software like C++ 2005? I have read through the installation documentation, but it does not explicitly mention whether the license can be tied to a dongle, or perhaps I overlooked that information.Please help clarify this for me. Thank you.

I apparently do not understand how to use a function defined in a solve block to get results for a range (vector) of variables.  It works for a single input, but not a range of inputs. Any help is appreciated. Note; the attached file is Mathcad 15.  You will need both the xmcd and the xlsx files.  They are attached. Thanks again.  

In 1988, the International Mathematical Olympiad was given the task B3: If for integers x and y the term (x^2+y^2)/(1+x*y) is a natural number N, then N is a square number. The solution does not require advanced mathematics, but is very challenging. I have attached a German language file MC14. I saved myself a translation into English because the solution should be self-explanatory with little translation help. Examples are included at the end of the file.In the solution, a recursion is constructed based on starting values that have yet to be found. And that's my problem. My programming knowledge is not sufficient to find starting values and apply the recursion described in the solution - I therefore ask for help.

For an automated Windchill authentication Creo Toolkit provides the command ProBrowserAuthenticate to preset login and password information for subsequent Toolkit calls which require authentication and authorization like ProServerWorkspacesCollect, ProServerObjectsCheckin, etc. At the moment many companies are moving from password based access to SSO (single-sign-on) by Shibboleth and therefor the old approach does not work anymore. Is there any workflow existing to provide the credentials from SSO by the Toolkit API?    

Dear colleagues, I have used the attached "Outlier Rejection procedure" for over 20 years to detect outlier data from acquired thermo-structural tests.   I have tried, unsuccessfully, offering the procedure to AEDC (Arnold  Engineering Development Center) because I use one of the two Outlier Detection Methods but they have not shown interest. Therefore, I am donating it to the PTC Community.   The method is a simple average of the of AEDC's and Chauvenet's Outlier detection methods criteria resulting in the formula:   C_ABC(n) = (C(n)_AEDC + C(n)_Chauvenet(n)/2   Where "n = sample size"   .Ultimately, entered the numerical results into TableCurve 2D resulting in the formula provided in the attached workbook.   I have successfully used to determine the outlier of:   Bolt torque (n < 16) in a pipe-to-pipe flange assembly. Metal temperature around turbojet engine inlets, n < 24. Metal temperature around turbojet engine nozzles, n <

Hello,   What to do in the case of blue rectangle if someone wants to solve this differential equation using laplace?  

Hello, my school has an MathCAD License for MathCAD 8.0.0.0. I'm trying to install mathcad so I can use it on my computer, but I can only find a download for version 9.0.0.0. Where can I get 8.0.0.0?

Hello Guys,I am a new user of the "Creo Elements/Direct Modelling Express". Sorry for my english but I am a beginner.Bye and have a nice day 

I just loaded Creo view express 10 and tried to open a couple Creo 3 drawings and I am getting a blank white screen. Any ideas

I have a table pattern in creo where an angular dimension is considered in the table which i didn't find in the part. In the pattern table the dimension name is ROT_DIR_1.Which dimension is this? Please reply if anyone have the answer. Thankyou. 

hello experts I have a question in creo BOM How can we add the length, width, and height of the workpiece of the finished part? without adding the parameters every time in a new part file. regards Fisa

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.5.1I have a development made with Java Toolkit (Jlink) I have tested it on my computer and on some of my coworkers, the installation has gone without problems in all of them.When I install it on a user's computer it gives me an error, a message appears that the application could not be initialized, I tried it with several users and the same thing happened.I have tried and reviewed all the points that appear in the article in PTC Support (CS26558), and it remains the same.From here I don't know how to proceed or what to look at and check, is there something else that could be causing the application not to initialize? Is there any way to do a debbug or get a log to see what is happening?I have not found any file that can explain what is happening.Thank you so much

is there any way to add flexible model > varied items into the family table as we do for Dimensions & Parameters  ? Refer uploaded pics.
