Hello everyone,i have a problem with combined states.I have defined a new combined state named "NEW" and I would like this combined state to be read instead of the default "Default All".N.B. my goal is to have a new combined state set by default while preserving the original default combined state.This is the starting condition: If I right-click on the new combined state "NEW" the program allows me to set it as "Make Default", it would seem a perfect command for my case, and instead even setting it and saving the model, when the model is reopened the combined state is returned the original one by default... why?This is the result by activating the combined state "NEW" and setting it as "Make Default":This is the result when I reopen the model: Is it normal for something like this to happen?How can I fix it?Thank you.P.S. I use Creo 9.0.2.0

When you create a part in a standalone way using sketches, revolves, extrudes, etc., then it is simple to create a drawing. You just have to use the dimensions that appear with the model annotations when creating the drawing. However, when your part is based on a lot of data sharing features, the respective dimensions are not going to appear in the model annotations when you want to create a drawing. So, how would you create a drawing when you have a lot of data sharing features in the model? For example, when you want to manufacture the part. Thanks for all ideas and replies!  

Hi,As you can see in the example below, I'm changing the scale of a view : After clicking on the scale, this pop up appears : My problem is that every time I use CTRL+A (normally to select all) when it is activated, this blue rectangle appears and changes what I type next. This problem isn't only with the parameter &view_scale but any other parameters (&Material / &Scale ...). How can I modify this short cut ? Thanks.  

Good afternoon, I am sure this is simple but cannot find an answer. What is the most direct way to delete an else block that is empty?  I really struggle with this.  Am I missing something? 

I converted worksheet from 15 to prime having minimize keyword. Giving different result after conversion are there any changes that is required to do in worksheet. 

Hi. What do the different domain icon colors mean? I've noticed after meshing they can change from the bluish color they normally are. I know I've at least seen green (pictured here) and gray. For the model I'm currently working on, the green icon domains do not let me view any properties (e.g., temperature). Thanks. It would be really nice if there was a place to look up all this stuff that's not explained in help.   

Hello, I'm new to mathcad (express prime 9.0.0.0 and have full functionality for another month), so extra points for being extra articulate 🙂 The image below on the left is what I am trying to accomplish and what I've typed out within Mathcad. The image below on the right is the book example I am trying to replicate. I am trying to plot Fr_eff/X vs X with different "p" values, which makes sense when looking at the text. Some Questions:Why is the error "trying to plot to many range variables showing up?"In the example textbook they are showing the function they are Plotting "Fr/X". How are they plotting the function without writing the inputs to the function, ie. Fr(X,p)?They are only plotting p=0.5 up to 7 (in increments of approximately 1 in certain cases), which is not how they define p at the top. How are they only plotting certain p values, and not all of them?Last and obvious question, what am I doing wrong?   Thanks EDIT: I've at

I’m trying to run an FEA on a fixed support beam, I replaced all the bolts with “intelligent fasteners”. I keep getting the “cannot process highlighted contacting surface” error  

Good evening,I am trying to solve an exercise in MathCad prime 8.0 with the RKadapt function but it return a very unusual error that says "Unknown error: Exception generated by call destination", I have tried to change the function with "Adams" or "rkfixed" and it returns the same error, I have also tried to redefine the equivalences as for example "(d/dr)^2 y(r)1 = y3". Attached there is a screeshot of my work sheet with the differential equation that I need to solve and the procedure that I did.Thanks to everyone in advance.    

Hi experts,can we add against each thread size? (i.e. a parameter called DEPTH_RATIO),this is require b'cos considering the the drill depth is 3x of drill sizeand thread depth is derived from drill depth x depth_ratio,we require thread depth as per ISO 1179-1 for hydraulic port.     

Hello,I plotted this function and the graph looks something "strange", at least at first glance. Normally it should have shown a continuous line, or? MC8 Prime.

 Hi Community, I'm a very beginner of Pro/Toolkit and try to make a program that creates a new 3D part in Creo 4.0.I have a file that indicate crosssectional plane shape points and the program should read the file, make sketch from the points, and create solid by rotating/exluding the sketch. I'd like to make it in asynchronous mode, so it will contain functions below: 1) Read file and extract shape points2) Start/Connect Creo3) Open new PART4) Select a datum plane(like "FRONT" plane)5) Draw sketch on the plane form shape points6) Select datum plane/axis as reference7) Exlude/rotate to make solid I tried ProSolidMdlnameCreate() method for function 3) but noting shown in my display even the program returns no error.Could you show me how to open a new PART file with default template? Thanks!   

I am unable to plot multiple traces in Mathcad prime 9.0 when first defining a chart component from the menu ribbon.  For example, I selected chart component from the menu ribbon and defined an X1:=x,  Y1:=cos(x) and Y2:=sin(x) but only the Y1 trace appears in the plot.I still had Mathcad 8 on my computer and was able to plot multiple traces.I then cut and paste the multiple trace chart component from 8 to 9 and it worked in 9.It seems like the multiple traces just doesn't work when I start a graph from the menu in 9.  What's going on?  Any suggestions on how to fix the problem in Mathcad 9.0?  I tried exiting the program and rebooting but I cannot get multiple traces in chart components when starting from the menu ribbon.  I can only get it to work if I copy from an existing multiple trace chart component.  A pdf and the mathcad documents are attached.    

Good morning all! Doing some work in CREO Parametric 8.0.8.0. and after some time I realised that during sketching in a feature the ribbon is gone. I have to click "sketch" again to get all the options. ctrl-F1 is not working nor is double-clicking. Right button shows "hide ribbon" greyed-out.How can this be resolved?? (I found out that CREO is installed under "program files" in Pro/Engineer 20 this was a big mistake triggering all sorts of problems,  is this still the case??) Best regards!    

The base shape is this which I created by blending two sketches.I would like to remove the top and bottom surfaces and have differing thickness walls at the top and bottom of this object; as in the wall thickness is greater at the bottom and it decreases gradually towards the top.The closest example to this that I've seen is example 2 here :  https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r9.0/italian/index.html#page/simulate/simulate/exam_variablethickness.html I am unsure on how to achieve and help would be appreciated.

Hello,I am attempting to create three holes in the thickened version of a quilt. The most reliable method I have found is by trimming the quilt as shown below however this results in no hole axis being formed making subsequent work on it harder. I was having difficulty created holes using the hole tool because of the rounded geometry and the breaks in the surface. What would be a reliable way toa) Get hole axes when creating objects this way (ie thickening trimmed quilts)?b) Place holes on a surface such as this?  The quilt is made by wrapping a sketch on cylinder on creo paramteric 9.0 student version.

Good morning, per subject, I need to run a file.xmcd from the command line in an installer.  I am using Inno setup.  The command line looks like:       [Run] Filename: "{app}\Readme.txt"; Description: "View the Readme file"; Flags: postinstall shellexec skipifsilent unchecked Filename: "{app}\FILE.mcdx"; Description: "Open FILE"; Flags: postinstall shellexec skipifsilent       I can launch mathcadprime.exe but I cannot shell execute this exe with the associated file.xmcd. Ideas? How does one run file.xmcd from a command line and associate with the latest Prime? thank you.    

How do I find a component that is set to metric units?  All of my components are set to English units but there are several that are set to metric and when I export it to a step file it creates an error where components that are metric are scaled incorrectly.   

Hello, I am trying to re-flatten a wire harness for a manufacturing drawing that I have been working on but I am getting an error that reads "Cannot load drawing template. Please ensure drawing templates are saved on the first sheet". The template I am using only has one sheet, so it is saved on the first sheet. In the past, the only way I have been able to get around this error message is to create a new drawing entirely. How do I avoid this error? This error occurs in the Creo Harness Manufacturing Extension.      

how can i find out x intercept of a certain value of y intercept as shown in below sheet. 

I have the same error in Creo 5.0.0.0 using OTK C++ As discussed in the topic.

Hi, I have a custom system of units in Creo Parametic that I need for several parts, but I do not want to make it a default system. Instead, I want to add it to the list of predefined system of units so that I can change it with one click and not having to define it everytime I need it. Please let me know how to achieve this. Thanks.   

Creo 9 user. Is there a way to regenerate parts/assemblies without having to click "Current Vals"? We set up most of our parts and assemblies with Inputs using Pro/Program. It allows us to read text files to easily generate models from "master" models. Unfortunately, this means that every time our top-level assembly is regenerated, we have to click "Current Vals" over 20 times. Is there a function like "regenerate with existing values" or "regenerate without Inputs"? I searched everywhere I could think of but found nothing. I would have thought this was a more common issue. Thank you. 

Hi,  After the successful run of my Creo Simulate Solver, I now get an error window, that tells me, that "the output file of the solver is damaged on line #68". Please find the error attached (it's in German).  Does anyone have an idea, how to avoid this happening?    Thanks.    Greetings Tim       

Hi!   I have a question. I had never used Creo Pro/program before, but I got an interesting work. I watched some tutorial video on youtube about what is it.   I have 5 sketches, but I have to use only one in assembly. Firstly I would like to use a dialog box and I would like to select a sketch and after that I would like to extrude this sketch, but later if I select another sketch in dialog box then the program extrude the new sketch.  I would like to ask for some help on how to start my work.   I hope my description was understandable.   Thanks in advance for your help.   I use Creo Parametric 8.0
