In our MFG file we have ~400-600 sequences per operation and doing the reordering of the of the sequence takes time.To apply these sequences, we used UDFs and in 2-3 clicks the sequences are applied.Using Process Manager, XML templates with priority options is not a good idea for us, the reason being we have a bunch of custom macros and will take longer to apply in Process Manager.Are you facing this problem on your MFG file?Do you have any solution or workaround to improve time during reordering of the sequences?I understood for other CAD Application reordering is very fast this is why CAM department is looking now for a different CAM software. 

I bought and installed Mathcad 9 student version, on the day of installation everything worked fine, however today I wanted to open the program and now it opens Mathcad express, I tried to activate the license for the file again, however I get a message that says "(-9) Invalid host."Looking at some forums I tried to solve the problem by following what was indicated, however the problem was not solved.Then, checking the host, the one on my network does not match the one in the license file.How can i fix this?Thanks in advance for your response

remote user contacted me about two computers they use for simulation that are running Creo 5.0.1.0.  All the workstations I knew about have been upgraded to Creo 9.0.4.0 and we'd like to upgrade these two computers to 9.0.4.0. How can I see which extensions, options, etc were installed with 5.0.1.0 so I can make sure to enable the same extensions with 9.0.4.0?  

I have Creo 9 and 10 installed but Creo 7 is our production version. When Creo 9 or 10 gets installed the browser in Creo 7 stops working. Browser is set to Chrome.   Any idea how to prevent 9 or 10 from changing the browser in 7?   Install is a local install.

Hello, allI use volume rough with a large tool and then use local milling ( previous sequence ) to remove rest of material with samll tool. while I want to keep some area not to be machined by local milling step,  can anyone help me on this?  thanks    

I need to machine several deep Fins ( around 50mm in depth), in order to machine safely, I need to machine one Fin zone and then move to another zone.  I use Mill window + Volume milling, found that volume milling always cut slice by slice from one Fin zone to another, instead cut each Fin zone to full depth, and then move to other Fin zone.Could you please help me to solve this issue?  thanks,    

Hi 1. I have a issue with displaying assemblies (using Creo Parametric 8.0.7.0). Sometimes I have different family table instance component displayed on assembly view than is defined in family table and displayed in assembly tree. What might be the reason? 2. I have also an issue with drawings. Sometimes on drawing view (with assembly) I have missing component but when I opening assembly that is presented on the drawing it is complete. What might be the reason? 

I am computing phasor values of voltage & current waveforms at each sample point along the waveforms.  I want to plot all of the resulting phasors, aligned to a-phase voltage.  To do this I simple need to multiply each phasor by unity at an angle that is the conjugate of the a-phase voltage angle at that point.   Is there a way to create a polar shift operator 1@-arg(Va)?    See attached Prime 8 file for how I'm doing it now (multiplying by the conjugate of Va and dividing by its magnitude). thanks,russ

I am using Solidworks now ( I know Booo) but I have some files from my previous job I would like to look at and they are not opening. The parts do but the drawing does not. can you help?   

HI, I have successfully installed the MathCAD Prime 30-day trial. However, I am unable to open a pre-existing *.mni file (Mathcad Native Interface file).Does Mathcad Express support them? Is there any way to convert them to a file format recognizable by MathCAD Prime?Thanks! Eddy

Hello! I've been a MathCAD user for 5-6 years now, but this last subscription cycle I told myself would be the last. Instead, I wrote a prototype application that just barely meet my needs, but shows an example for what cloud CAE could be. I would love to see PTC adopt something like this into their offerings, implementing storage, global variables, syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and hooks into Onshape. The graphical nature of MathCAD is neat no doubt, but I think the future is plain text with a super simple syntax. It's free, so please check it out if you're interested!https://fa.rad.cm

Purchased licence and tryed to activate it on mathcad 5.0 several times, no luck.Installed mathcad 9.0 -> seems to be working, but now error message "You have reached the maximum amount of licence requests avalible for your product type"

I just paginated a BOM/Table and am wondering how to get the footer (in my case) to be added to the 2nd segment of the table.    

Hello, When I try to install the licence for creo student using setup I have an error message.What can I do ?Thank you   

Dear Community Is there a way to create a three dimensional patterns? Ideally with coordinate systems, for the orientation of the instances?Best wishes Alex

I would like to know why my image in my frame (.frm) keeps disappearing.The failure keeps coming and going and I can´t tell what the cause is. It is the same with drawings (.drw) when I insert an photo or image it may be lost by the next opening of the file. When I insert and image in a .frm it may be gone sometime and / or when I insert and image into an .drw I may be gone too. For .drw I recognized that not all pictures disappear. For example when I have 4 sheets in one .drw and sheet 2, 3 and 4 include images and the images on sheet 4 disappear the sheets 2 and 3 mostly (8/10) still having their images. In the object overview (.frm) in the layout tab I can see the object but not visually in the drawing area. I only can see a single "drag-point" outside of the frame / drawing (See attached screenshot). When I push the cursor above the point it shows me the vertical draging arrows but the point is completly frozen onto the layer and will not move whatsoever.  How I insert an

Hi, We design painted parts and parts with surface finishes, where dimensions on drawings and annotated parts, are for the finished part. This causes a problem because when we send a step file to a supplier for machining, they must recreate a model and offset the surfaces to be the part "before manufacturing", they also need to create a control drawing with all of the corrected dimensions to control the part before painting or surface treatement.Does Creo propose an automated way to correct the 3d model and drawings to adjust the dimensions with a given offset?The same question goes for offset tolerances (10mm-0+0.1 for instance), suppliers will recreate a model and offset the surfaces to have a model with only mid-tolerance dimensions. Does Creo propose an automated way to correct dimensions to have only mid-toleranced parts? 

Hello, I want to see a variable from an equation. But I did some practice, and I couldn't get any solution. Can you help me I attached the file. 🙂  

I'd like to create parametric bom ballons for my connector pins. When i try and use the "Create Balloon" feature I get an error message stating "This is not a BOM ballon region." 

Hello, I have this vector:     I want automatically to eliminate duplicate elements, and to retain only those elements which are not duplicate from the vector: How to do this?

hello expert facing strange issue creo 10 unresponsive when save the part or open the new part or open the part from assembly. before 15 sept 2023 every thing is going fine creo 10 work smoothly.. but i don't know what happen ..creo 10.000 install with window 10 ..any solution please note..... one thing i found if  i open the software with internet connection enable on my pc then problem occurred ..but if i unplugged the internet cable then start the creo ..problem gone ..and its happening from last 3 day before it every thing work perfectly with or without internet connection regards Asif

I'm currently facing a peculiar issue in Creo Parametric while working on a 3D part, and I'm hoping to get some guidance from you all. Here's the situation: I have two parallel lines that I'm working with. One line is part of a 2D sketch, created on a specific plane. The other line exists on the original 3D body of the part. When I select both lines to measure the distance between them, it's displaying as zero, which is obviously incorrect.I initially assumed that the line from the 3D body would automatically project onto the sketch plane, giving me the correct distance. It seems that isn't happening. My Questions Are:1. **Is the zero distance reading possibly a result of the lines existing in different planes?**2. **Does Creo Parametric automatically project 3D lines onto a 2D sketch plane for measurement, or do I need to do this manually?**3. **If manual projection is required, what are the steps to project a 3D line onto a 2D sketch plane?**4. **Once projected, how can I a

Hello, In Mathcad prime, when a value is looked up from an Excel sheet, the output will be placed in a square bracket , I assume it is an array. When I use the looked it up value and compare it with another value, it gives an error saying it must be a scalar. What do I need to do to the looked up value to make it a scalar? Thanks,Sam   

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!
