Hello! I have installed Creo Elements Express 8.0 and when I try to launch it, appears this message: I have an account in PTC.com but I don´t know where to set it. Thank you very much.Majoar 

since we have upgraded to Creo 9 our Section lines and Centerline scale a seem all out of whack when compared to older drawings. they look normal in the drawing but when exporting a PDF thet look bad. Either the section line scale is so small that it looks solid, or the centerline/Axii lines are so large that they dont show breaks. we are running into instances where we are updating old drawings and its rasing lots of flags because they look so far off. here are two samples one with configure settting intf2d_out_pdf_scale_line_fonts changed. We are looking at having the Axii from YES and the Cut/Detail Lines from NO  YES                                                                                                     

Hello,Is it possible to delete feature with the help of relations/Proprogram.The requirement is that, I have a master model, from which i can generate two designs by suppressing and un supressing some features.And when i generate a particular model from the master model, i need to automatically delete the suppressed feature, as its not longer needed for that part. Thanks,Sajith   

Hello everyone,There is a part that has been designed before, when I open the part, it asks me to write the model I will choose and it arranges the model according to the answer I give.There are some formulas in the parameters, but when I looked at the programming part, I could not find an "if" formula for body selection. The family table is also empty.I can do this from the family table, but every time I open the part, it asks, which is a problem for me.How can I do this with the if command from the programming part?What I want to do is for the user to see the model they want by typing the model code they want.can you help with this issue?   When the user selects model 1, the model tree looks like this. When the user selects model 2, the model tree looks like this. 

When dragging components, is it possible to make settings that give priority to the movement of dragged parts, such as giving frictional resistance?   

We recently solved an on-going performance issue w/ some remote workers that was traced to a config.sup setting (trail_dir) which was dumping trail files onto a network drive.  This was a nogo suggestion from PTC dating back years.   We got to wondering if trail files are even utilized to the extent they were when hardware/software was not as mature as it is today.  I've not needed to re-run a trail file in many years so I'm wondering how it would act w/ the interactions Creo has w/ Windchill these days.   Thanks.    

Hello,I am trying to recreate this model from solidworks model mania 2006 which consists of two phases, changing your model from to the one below.Basically adding a taper and a draft. While doing this I realised my initial sketch that was extruded to the surface was not enough to handle the taper.The surface(created using a sweep) and my initial sketch below ( the sketch is a bottom up projection of the surface edges.When extruding without a taper it works perfectly. However when I add a taper of 15 degrees to it, the extrusion no longer fits to the surface as nicely as before. The fix I found for this was modifying my sketch to be taller than the projected area.This resulted in an extrusion that fit much better to the surface.I am sure I am probably messing something so I would really any tips on why the projected area extrusion doesn't work. I am using creo parametric 9.0 student version

I want to delete a part from my assembly and have the children automatically be suspended (without the confirmation window if possible) There appears to be threads from 2013 and 2017 concerning this. Has this been addressed? If so how do I apply it? I am using Creo 7 Thank You!

As per this thread.   I know this is a very old post, but I recently ran across some troubles trying to model a part that was to be wrapped in fabric and am struggling to find a robust way to make a flat pattern from the wrapped component. Creo doesn't seem to like areas that would otherwise be "folded" as you'd see with soft materials, and the relief options when trying to use sheet metal also aren't much help.   It would be great if there were a way to simulate a soft material as thickened quilt to wrap around another component. For the time being, I am modeling the part as desired for the final product, and taking measurements to manually make a "cut" pattern, With the cut pattern I am hatching an area where pleats and relief would be allowed and asking our supplier to determine how best to wrap the part.

I've got a feature for a flat pattern and in the model tree it shows two associated bend notes. Is there a way to access these notes using the J-link API to get the angles of the bends? or is there a different method to get bend quantity and bend angles for a sheet metal pattern?I've tried inputting a solid, getting the features that are from the flat pattern, getting each feature and listing the sub types and then filtering by model items of the model item type axis which gives me the bend notes I believe which I have used for the bend quantity but now I just need the angle.For Creo Parametric 9.0.4.0.The Code I've used so far is in the picture attached

Hello,to mark our parts and mainly assemblies (cylindrical) we use a projected cosmetic sketch but:For 3D renderings, it cannot be blacked outIt is projected and not rolled up (ideally).In the assembly mode, I found only by mixing with the surface but there are many functions.In part mode, I was advised the offset function but I must not have the same version of creo because not found.How do you make your marking? what solutions? I blockThanks    

Hi all, In CREO 7.0.2.0 or in CREO 8.0.5.0, we want to see the symbol name in the drawing tree.In the following pic, you can see: 1 - the Symbol2 - the symbol name3 - the drawing tree (Creo 8 version)  I think the symbol name is saved somewhere, and I think it should be possible to extract it in order to make it appear in the drawing tree. I thought it was possible to save the drawing tree as drwtreetool.txt, but I couldn't find the file. Could you help me to find the txt file, and how to view the symbol name in the drawing tree?Regards

I recently had my computer refurbished and am goin g through reloading my software. Mathcad 14 is not cooperating. I reinstalled, provided the code that came with the CD and uninstalled the license from the previous computer and redownloaded the new license file. The new license file has the correct HOST ID, but mathcad tells me that it isn't correct and redirects me to select a new file. ? COuld it be that the license fiel doesn't include Mathcad? can't understand why? Pleas

Hello, When I open a native Creo 2D assembly drawing with a number of pages, not all the views/images per page show? I am left with only text, tables and the product views are missing.Is it because the assembly is to complex?I am using Creo View 10 & Creo parametric 9.0.4.0Thanks in advance. 

Hi, I as some doubt in drawing sheet, with in the drawing sheet we as some symbol is there any way to read symbol and variable text name that was selected in the symbol. if it is problem send me any VB API for my Reference or Map key.Thanks in Advance.     

This month’s challenge is based on civil engineering:     Images created with Creo Parametric, Advanced Framework Extension, and Creo Simulation Live.   Scenario: You have a standard 300mm steel I-beam with a length of 12 meters. It is simply supported at one end and at 8 meters from that end. There is a load of 5000 Newtons in the middle and 10000 Newtons at the unsupported end. Calculate the cross-sectional area of the I-beam. Calculate the cross-sectional moment of inertia about the midpoint of the beam. (You may choose to ignore the contribution of the fillets. If you want the additional challenge, you may include them.) Use the Chart Component to display shear and bending moment diagrams. Calculate the deflection at the end of the I-beam.  You may ignore the effect of the fillets as necessary for shear, bending moment, and deflection.   Additional resources: Mathcad blog post by Brent Maxfield.

Hello, My problem is, we have old models (Made in Creo 2.0 or Creo 4.0) but now we moved to Creo 9.0.4.0 and we moved on to new company standards, which means a lot of new parameter, and relations.But with old models comes a problem, which is, we often can't delete parameters or make new ones which are restricted.(view in My Videos) The problem most likely comes from the old model having a different restriction table than the new one.I think the easiest way would be to make a macro to move all the features to a new template somehow but it comes with a different set of problems. Is there anyone who figured out a good way to pass this problem?

Does anyone know of a way to automatically show the Creo version (3, 4, 5, 6, 7,...) as a parameter?We implemented the values in param values list, but that is a manual step for the users to change when we go to a new version. We also have it set in our start parts as well as our Windchill templates, but that is a change we will have to do every time we go to a new version. We are trying to be in compliance to ASME Y14.47 and  14.41 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140Model Check date format issueHere are the errors that I facedIt is required to modify date format of Model Check option in Creo 4.0. User is unable to modify date format from ex. Tue Mar 20 2022 to ex. 20-03-2022. Please suggest options to update/modify date format of Model Check in Creo Parametric 4.0.

Within our company we have many smaller subdivisions that utilize Creo however they all have different config settings.  We run a customized start tool that depending on users selection loads the appropriate config settings for that OpCo.  Once in a Creo session there is no quick and easy way to see what OpCo the session was loaded with other than going to the config files in session and looking at a comment line or the Co. name.  This is time consuming for the support team and the user that could be working in various OpCo's.  Would it be possible to have a config setting that was a one line txt field which would be displayed in the top banner either just below or next to "PTC Creo Parametric"? 

Mathcad Prime 9 Hello Mathcad experts, I want to create a spill area as a function of time for transient evaporation calculations.  I currently use a formula developed by Dow Chemicals from the late 70's to calculate in the radius of a spill for a given time with an assumed rate and volume.  This formula is iterative.  See Yellow highlighted for manual manipulation.  I am currently manually changing the time intervals and entering the resulting radius and time into a matrix and then curve fitting to make an area function.  Once the volume has been spilled, I assume the area no longer grows.  This seems possible to automate with programming.  I'm a novice programmer and have been working diligently without much success.  I mostly am having trouble with the iterative formula. See attached Prime 9 excerpt of my calculations. Help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Colin  

Creo 4.0 080   Greetings all,   I have a section that I can place and change the angle, but "spacing" is greyed out. I looked up some stuff that people had issues with cross sections and it had something to do with view being set to no hidden. That does not solve my problem. This has got to be something dumb.   Help?   Wayne

Hello Community, I just wanted to learn more about the creo cabling process and its steps and found a video (Creo Parametric - Cabling Overview - Manual Process) from @DaveMartin on youtube. I tried to maintain its steps but when I try to implement a skeleton model from my sub assembly this option is greyed out (see attachment). Maybe he did something I didnt and thats the reason...I dont have this "placement" in my sub assembly but I dont think that this is the reason...I read that this may have to do with the software package and its function properties. I quite sure I dont use the full software package with all its functions. I use PTC Creo 9.0.4.0.  Can you help me out - is it because of the package or do I have to stay by another step before (preparation) ?  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM090Creo parametric is crashing after the installation of Automation studio software.

Hi All i want to mark an area in my sheet metal plate, were painting is forbidden. how can i do that without using cut out (extrude) function within the sheet metal design?in the picture, you can see an already marked are, unfortunately, this are solid models and have therefore no feature tree anymore to check.i want to do the second area on the counter part of this.
