Reference topic - Please solve this issue as I have been a user of the FREE version, Creo Elements Direct Express, since 2012 as while training us on the full Creo which my company was using. My company asked us to get the free version do we could learn when not at work.I use this for my woodworking hobby and this "less than full version" is ideal for my hobby!Best regards, Hans Sitte 

Hi!To semplify the mesh with beams, i use “Prismatic element control” and meshing is very fast  I can not use “prismatic element control” if the surface is inclined In this second case, without any control, meshing take a lot of time Maybe, you know other way to speed up meshing phaseThank you Best Regards

Hello. I'm using Mathcad Prime 10.0.1.0 and I'm having trouble saving to PDF. Neither the built-in PDF export nor Microsoft Print to PDF works. I found this thread, but the solution seems to apply only to version 12, not version 11 or earlier. Can anyone help? https://community.ptc.com/mathcad-7/save-as-pdf-or-print-to-pdf-causing-unexpected-error-mathcad-prime-12-175521

Hi All,Can someone please help me fix this corrupted file?  I have spent a couple of hours working on it, and suspect it is a font size error or something. (see attachment)Thanks in advance,Brett

Hi,My async OTK C++ application calls:cpppfcAsyncConnection_ptr conn = pfcAsyncConnection::Connect("", "", "", 10);This fails every single time on Creo 11 with pfcXToolkitError, GetErrorCode() = -48 (PRO_TK_CANT_MODIFY), GetToolkitFunctionName() = "ProEngineerConnect".The exact same code worked fine on Creo 6 and 7 — it only failed occasionally there when a feature dialog was open, never unconditionally like this.Already checked:PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE is set correctly (full path + filename), file exists nmsd.exe and pro_comm_msg.exe are both running No Windchill/PDM involved, purely local models My app isn't registered as an auxiliary application (no protk.dat loaded via config.pro)Question: Did something change in Creo 11's async connection handling (permissions, registration requirements, etc.) that would cause Connect() to fail unconditionally like this? Is protk.dat registration now required for async connect to work?Thanks!

Hello All,CREO 10 user here.  I have hundreds of models that are declared to notebooks (layouts).All of these hundreds of models are declared to and use parameters from the notebook, in their respective relations and program.Is there a way to find all the parts and assemblies that a specific notebook parameter are used in?The only thing I can seem to find is in the notebook relations, under the “show” menu, there is a “where used.”  When i choose this, it shows that my specific parameter is used nowhere, but i have an assembly open in that same session that uses it.  I also know of at least 3 assemblies that use this specific parameter but trying to see if its used on any other models or assemblies I am unaware of.  I did not create all these assemblies and parts, just maintaining them.Thank for any help!!

Hi there , I don’t know why I’m having this problem with Mathcad sheet . I used to convert it easily , but it is not working anymore . Does anyone know the reason?Thanks Yusra  

Was wondering if there is a way to mod or get mathcad to add geometric algebra (or Clifford algebra diff name) into mathcad. THis would include multivectors, the wedge product and the geometric product? Not sure if there is any modding of mathcad at all for reference

Hi there, using Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0… I am fixing a BOMs region by using the Fix Index in the Repeat Region command. It is saying the region is successfully fixed, but when I go to my .asm and place a new component in the assembly (bottom of the model tree) it is taking up one of the already empty f/n slots. My .asm is at rev C with many empty f/n slots before and after the slot it wants to keep populating. I have 157 f/n’s.

I've created several mapkeys lately so I thought I'd share some general tips I learned to write it down for next time. Please share your own tips below to expand the collection. This was done on Creo 3 M060 but the ideas should hopefully be not specific to that.Mapkey Writing/Editing TipsGeneral Tips:Mapkeys often break when upgrading between Creo Versions (Creo 3 vs Creo 1) but they can save you a lot of time in the year or two between versions.Open the mapkey menu by searching for Mapkeys in the upper right. Also, if someone knows how find the Mapkey menu behind when its behind other Creo Windows, please share.           Record commands from the RMB or the Quick Access Toolbar to eliminate extra Mapkey lines that just moves around Creo for no reason. Most commands can be launched without being on a specific interface tab.Mapkeys skip any commands they cannot execute. This lets users add in some logic to close menus that sometime popup or d

Hello,We received from customer Bend table in format which SolidWorks read well, so we are trying to apply that in Creo (Creo 11.0.3), but as we noticed Creo has a little bit different format. It has radius and thickness and values inside are bend allowance if i understood correctly, and the table from SW have thickness, radius , bend angle (which is not affecting k-factor if u see table, so it can be ignored), and k factor as value derived (0.618, 0.619, 0.693....). Does anyone know how that should be applied in Creo and have maybe some examples, or is bend table a right way in Creo to apply this.

Hi everyone, I have a very small part (see attached file) under 140 N, (40 Ni Cr Mo 3)How you analize this test?I tried standard analisys definition and Non linear/large deformation: I obtain the same resultsand i think is not good Can You try to analize it?Thank you for helping! Federico

Hi Creo Community, I am trying to use Creo Trial via PTC and am having issues installing it on my machine (Windows 11), and I would like to see if anyone has had the same issue, and if so, could let me know what fixed it for them. After calling PTC support, they have said they don’t help with Creo Trial issues and that I should ask community.ptc.com for help even if I have a past customer number with PTC.The issue: I am able to download the file “Creo Parametric 13.4.0.0 CloudPlay” (2.5MB) from the Trial page, but when I try to install using this .exe I either get to the Creo Parametric splash screen and it hangs for hours or the splash screen disappears and the .exe file auto-deletes itself from my Windows Explorer “Downloads” folder.I have tried turning off the Windows Defender Firewall and running the .exe file as an administration, but the issues seem mostly the same. If anyone has be able to get through similar issues, please let me know, thank you

Hello I have a lot of measured points and like to create a best fit plane through these points.Does Creo provide such an option?Many thanks in advance for your help.Regards Pius

Hello Creo 12 users,I’ve recently been having a problem with creating curves.When I go to Options for the curves and adjust the points, the curve jumps back to a different shape after I click OK.  It looks as though the points aren’t being saved.I’ve attached a video.Does anyone recognise this problem and have a solution?Thanks and best regards,Ramon Bohne(Siemens Energy)

Hello everyone,I’m facing a problem yet again: I have modelled a door system in Creo Parametric, consisting of a door frame and a door leaf. The dimensions for the frame and the door leaf are specified in the assembly’s relationships. To make the assembly easier to use, I now wanted to define it as a family table, so that I have individual assemblies for specific assembly scenarios and can work with them. However, the individual parts do not change when I alter the instance’s parameters.The background is as follows: I would like to be able to insert any adjustments to the relationship logic just once, rather than having to insert them multiple times, as would be the case with copied components.So the situation is that I currently have one System.asm consisting of a frame.prt and leaf.prt. I now want multiple instances for the system.asm for various mounting situations of additional parts without copying the system.asm.Do you understand my problem and could you perhaps help me out? Mayb

I am working with a model that has a curved body or feature, that looks likes it was created with a resolve. I checked the fastener hole edge curves on both sides of this feature, which is nonplanar. One side of the hole is made up of two split arc edges. The other side of the hole is made up of two spit spline edges. The spine edges is an issue in creating a fastener in Simulate. I tied to use the Round to edit the spines but if this is the correct tool I can’t figure out how to replace the spine edge with arc edges.  Does anyone know the approach to doing this? I only have the Creo Parametric not any advanced design add-on licenses.

My employer purchased mathcad for 3 of us, however despite IT saying mathcad is installed, it is only the trial version. I need to get the product key/code so I can utilize the license we paid for. To date, I have never been able to use the purchased version of mathcad and it was purchased about 3 months ago. please assist.

I cannot print to PDF when text contains Calibri font type. As soon as I change the font type to something else, such as Arial, the file will print to PDF without issue. I and several associates are encountering the exact same issue. We are using MathCAD Prime 12.0.0.1. Is this a known issue? Will it be fixed in a future update?

Hi there. I built a pretty typical 4-axis desktop CNC machine with an ‘A’ axis which rotates in the positive X direction and controlled by Mach3 on a USB controller. Overall it works well for any 3 axis milling/roughing/surfacing operations. See below configuration.Unfortunately when I go to set up an indexed 4-axis program, the included post processors in Creo skip the NC path’s rotate command:AAXIS,  ATANGL,  -90.000000and do not include it in the exported .tap/ G-code. I assume this is normal as most of the included post processors are only for 3-axis machines.However, I have attempted to “roll my own” using the included option file developer, turn on a 4th axis option, and using the UNCX01.P11 post processor as a base model, but no luck so far.The material removal simulation in Creo shows the appropriate rotation happening. I can also manually type in the “A -90.0” command into the exported G-code in the proper spot, which works great on the machine and allows me to accomplish my g

Hi, In my section view I have created driven dimesnions. But When I switch the annotation tab at the bottom to standard view (Standard Alle) then in the drawing the dimensions dissapear.  In my drawing I have applied the section and I have also applied partly visible area  How can I dsiplay the dimensions ifor a section view in my drawing?I’m using Creo 11.0.1 

I use creo 10 but I also tested on Creo+ (13).I asked recently, “Why does axis pattern show 2 “direction” dimensions when I only have one direction?” I had noticed this but never really asked. I don’t remember it doing this in creo 6 or 4 and before, not sure which
