Using the api how do I get to the model parameters instead of the drawing parameters? I'm able to get to the drawing parameters but not the parameters from the drawing active model. Any advice?

Hello All, I am trying to solve an equation that has condition statements and find the roots.Please help, Thanks  

Creo Parametric 9.0.4.0, OTK C++ I'm trying to assemble a component in a given assembly using csys's as references (see attached code).What is wrong? Thx in advance

As per the original post.    Do you know how I can split the connector and hide all unused contacts? I have a connector with 186 pins and only using 100. I'm a former Pro/Diagram user and it had the capability to split a connector and hide the remainder unused pins.   Thank you

Hello All, I have generated a mathcad worksheet that can find bearing capacity of a soil based on a given footing size. Now, I am attempting to find the bearing capacity based on random footing size and for a given settlement but I am seeing a plotting failed error. Please help. My version Prime 7.0   Thank you 

Looking to write some code to translate a wirelist from excel to XML in order to import it into the harness model. Is there a document that discusses the required parameters for the components and Connection sections? the Ninja cabling technical bulletin package did a great job of describing wire spools. Hopefully there is an equivalent for the Components and Connections.     

Hi,  I am trying to perform a save as, however the copied model is still referencing the parent. Any changes I do on the save as model are shown in the parent model. How do I make a copy of the assembly and add changes without messing with the parent?    

As per this thread.   Hi, I Attached the C# code If, I run this I am get the right View as output. I need to get -FACE ISOMETRIC as output, help me to figure it out, if we need to run the macro of -FACE ISOMETRIC with line I need to paste.

Folks, I'm currently using CREO 7. Exploded lines are shown below. This has been happening to me for many years depending on the stackup and regardless of CREO version. I thought this was a bug that would have been fixed by now, but I'm thinking either it's me or its a bug no-one cares about. How can I rectify this? Thank you.   

Hello,i applied for a mathcad student license a while ago when i needed it, but now i want to use it again an the license expired and there is no way to re-activate it?

HI,I would like to examine of peramiter guarding made of steel wire, but i have difficult because i fail to define a force on a grid.Can you help me, please? Thank you best regards      

Hello,I would like to better understand the object "ValuesSetter". Description says it is for setting multiple values of double or matrix scaled values by alias. What does "multiple values" mean? How can a single alias, which is supposed to represent a single mathcad variable hold multiple values?And how is this different from Worksheet methods "SetRealValue", "SetStringValue" & "SetMatrixValue"?If there's someone who could give a sample code in VB using the object ValuesSetter and one of its methods, that would be great.There is also an object called SetValueResults. Is it related to object ValuesSetter? And, does anyone know if it is possible to create a matrix of "strings"? Or mix of strings and double even?The method "SetMatrixElement" of the Matrix object and the method "SetMatrixValue" of the object Worksheet only create matrices of type double.I guess I can send the string one by one to mathcad, then group them into one matrix inside the mathcad but I'd like t

We are seeing quite of few check and check out errors . It is not allowing users to check out items even if they were the ones to last edit it. Is there a way to force check in either in windchill or Creo Illustrate .If Creo crashes while a file is checked out, it cannot be checked in but also cannot be edited by the owner. Have to copy and paste the entire thing into a new CAD file and delete the bugged one    

How can I take over the views from the view manager when exporting / saving a PVZ in Creo4? In my old company this always worked without any problems. Now, unfortunately, it doesn't take over anything. 

HiI want to extract a column with data from different tables, where each table contains several subcategorys. See example below (and attached file). Is this possible to do in mathcad?  For example, by selecting "Table 1", "Subcategory 3" and section "C" I want to extract a column containing the right set of data.  Thanks in advance!  

I am trying to replicate a curved scissor mechanism from an old purse (image named open and closed below), I am having some trouble connecting the assembly particularly the translation for the curved parts (image named translation below) , it is working fine with the non-curved version as I selected the bottom and top surfaces respectively. With the curved versions even when I attempt to define unique planes for the translation it does not seem to work, I assume it is due to a problem with the geometry I have defined. I would really appreciate it if the error that I have made can be pointed out, I am attaching the files below. Best,Ibrahim Tayyab

Hi All, Working with multiple input data as matirx or vector and  got a error message on function cannot be use here. Root function solve if I rewrite the R into a wx,  Appreciate some advise to see what can be done to solve this multiple combination function by recalling the variable I like to combine in the equation.     

Hello,  I've been having an issue where I have some parts that use some sketches in the parts themselves to show locations in the model based definition drawings (IE: circles or lines to show locations to mask ect). These MBD piece parts are then used in an assembly that's a standard 2D drawing in Creo. I don't want these sketches to show in the assembly drawing as they're not used and could cause confusion. I've found that within the layer tree in the drawing all of these sketches seem to exist in the 005_CURVES layer in each part, so I went through and hid them all so they're no longer showing in my assembly so I figured I was good.  The issue: We use EPDM windchill, so once I checked in the drawing in Creo and pulled the PDF of it from EPDM the sketches were showing up again. It seems that something is un-hiding this layer when the drawing gets sent over to EPDM. If I produce a pdf from creo directly they don't seem to show up, but I need to be able to pull the c

Creo 9 sketcher constraints show as whits circles. This does not add to the functionality. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0My tolerance block is greyed out. I've updated the drawing properties to reflect tol_display set to yes, as well as going into the configuration file and setting tol_display to yes. This seems to be the fix from searching across the internet, but it's not fixing the issue for me.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0Greetings,In Creo 10 I cannot permanently initialize the units mmns option that comes default as inch. Even though I save the changes and files, when the software is reopened, it continues to work with the old settings.I have tried all template methods, but even though the light on the right side is green, it goes back to the old settings after saving.I can't save to some windows where I want to save the settings and I can't make changes to the original config.pro file.I would appreciate your support.Here are the errors that I facedThere is no error message, just working same settings

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.4.0Creo crashes when creating a new project in Flow Analysis. Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys,   I have a question about possibilities in creo. Is there any option to divide or split one body which contains two features that are physically connected together ? I know the split body but that’s not usable for complex geometry. I have a task to make a body which represents inside volume of closed housing.   And the second question is if the creo is capable to somehow find air gaps in the closed housing ? For example I want to know if there are no pressure leakes. Thanks    creo 7.0 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode 8.0.8.0What is the best practice to reuse Spools in Windchill?

Hi, how can I resize the view window based on solid model?I'm using CREP PARAMETRIC 9.I have the necessity of draw a surface "Area designata 1" in an assembly, then I have to hide the surface in drawing. Althought I hide the surface, the view window is oversized because it feels the presence of the surface. The oversize of view window causes problem of views overlapping. How can I resolve this problem?Kings regards. Michele Barile
