I am running CREO Parametric 7.0.4.0 on Windows 10.I would like to use the boolean cut function to match some mating geometry. I've watched a few videos on how its done and it seems rather simple.I was having issues so I created 2 cubes and a practice assembly, however when I try and select the geometry to be used as the cut, it will not let me select it. (view in My Videos) I do see a feedback message in the bottom left that states: "Reference cannot be uesd due to the scope setting of NONE for Environment."  I could not find an obvious setting in the config to make this adjustment to locally. Any ideas?

Hello - Sophos has gone rogue and is deleting trueSolid-x64.dllWe have the file whitelisted on the server, but all these clients have detached.Yes, I'm currently working with Sophos to address the client randomly detaching from EnpointCentral. However, I have 7 engineers without CREO and need a quick fix. Is there any way to run Creo 7.0.2.0  without trueSolid-x64.dll? (sophos is difficult to remove on remote clients as it requires booting to safe mode to disable tamper protection).for reference, the error Creo throws is and putting trueSolid-x64.dll back in play is immediately deleted by Sophos,which promptly pats itself on the back for doing such a good job.Thanks,Fred    

I am thinking of upgrading my Alien 17 R4 laptop  (intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820Hk CPU  2.9GHz, 32GB RAM ). I would appreciate any thoughts, guidance or recent experience on selecting a  laptop/desktop PC  suitable for running parallel instances of Prime - where each instance is running a large numerically intensive programme.  Many thanks  GeoffD

Hi, guys!!! I'm very appreciate you for your product, it's genious, really. I've tried a lot of programs (such as WolframAlpha, Maxima, MathLab and etc.), but when I tried MathCad, I understood - i fell in love with it.But there are two really major flaws:1. I can't debug the program I wrote and it makes it difficult to find errors, I have to spend a lot more time looking for them. You have primitive programming language (in terms of implementation complexity), so I guess it shouldn't be hard to implement.2. I use your program with my laptop, and when I use draft page, it becomes very difficult, to navigate in horizontal directions, so I'm forced to drag the slider, which is not so fast and comfortable. So that's my second request - basically improve touchpad navigation, in every sense)Good luck with development and thanks again for your product!!!

I have used units but when writing the function to excel I am getting error. Please help 

When importing AP242 STEP files into Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0, some driving dimensions are converted to NOTES and lose all PMI parameter data.  I need all driving dimension to retain PMI parameter values (dimension value, tolerance value and tolerance type, etc).Any suggestions on why some are converted to Notes and how to ensure all dimensions retain PMI parameter values?    

Hi,   With the announcement of Creo+ (which is getting me really excited for the future of CAD and PTC taking the lead) I'm wondering, how do the 2 products relate to each other?   We are using Creo Parametric with Windchill at the moment. Will moving to Creo+ at some point eliminate the need for Windchill?  And will the files and its features be compatible / exchangeable with one another?   Happy to see your answers,   Jeroen        

Hello all,The explosion lines in the 2D figures do not correspond to the settings and not to the representations in the corresponding 3D figures. The explosion line based on the center line and its values are 4-1-1-1. What could be the reason for this? Thanks and best regardsRamon Bohne

Is it possible to define a coordinate/position, so that this point is automatically selected within a sketch using mapkey? My objective is to update a curve (which already works with mapkey) and that curve is used in a sketch to extrude a part. When updating the curve you have to select the new one to replace the reference:  To prevent the user from selecting something that should not be selected, I'd like to use the mapkey to select the right curve in the sketch.  I'm using Creo 7 Thanks in advance!   

Hello, namely it is about Math Cad 9. I bought and downloaded this file __pim_installmgr_mathcad_9__ Actually, double-clicking should start the installation. Unfortunately, the file is only unpacked and then nothing else happens? Now I don't know how to fix the problem and would be very grateful for help. Best regards Max -------------------------------- Translated the text from German to English using Google translate by Community Moderation team.Subject - Installlation Math Cad 9 Probleme Body: Hallo, und zwar geht es um Math Cad 9. Ich habe diese Datei gekauft und heruntergeladen __pim_installmgr_mathcad_9__ Eigentlich müsste damit per Doppelklick die Installation starten. Leider wird die Datei nur entpackt und dann tut sich nichts mehr?

How can I select Quilt F160 from the model tree? I can't select Feature 160 from the graphics window. Any alternate ways to select the desired quilts? Thanks!   

I'm trying to make a sheet metal part with some bent flanges, but the miter cut option in the "Flat" tool doesn't work on one of my corners, as shown in the attached image. Any idea why the left corner fails but the right corner works? Creo 8 and Creo 9.         

Dumb question, but what is the process for upgrading from V8 to v9?If i just run the exe will it do its thing automatically, or do i have to remove v8 first?thank you.   

We are currently on Creo 4 and Windchill (Intralink) 8.  If I do a ptcstatus.bat I see 15 Intralink 8 licenses available.  Unfortunately, we need about 25 until we get ourselves upgraded to Creo 8 or 10 and Windchill 12 later this year.  We have purchased numerous licenses of Windchill 12 but they're just sitting there, waiting for implementation.  It would be great if we could temporarily transfer those to Intralink 8 licenses for a short period of time. Is there something we could do now w/ PTC or are we stuck until we upgrade? Thanks.. 

Hello Team,please find the below image, How to edit the given locked parameter.     

Hi all,I have the situation that after creating and deleting a bundle I am left with new cable segments (one in each cable where the budle previously was), which leaves me with three segments per cable.The segmentation sometimes leads to unwanted effects when moving location points.The use case is to lengthen or shorten the bundle sleeve. This creates new segments each time.Is there a way to go back to the original state (one segment, or join segments into one?

Hi,  Is it possible to rotate the text for angle dimenions call out? please see attached example.i would like the orientation of the text to be on the same side of the dimension line, rather than opposite as shown 

Is it possible to customize the default hole notes of holes (all types) in Creo Drawings?  

A current design needs a counterbore clearance for a socket wrench. I entered the value and then switched from close fit to free fit. The counterbore changed back to the standard diameter. Having manually entered this, it shouldn't change. I am glad I caught it. Here is a product suggestion filled out about this:   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Leave-counterbore-diameter-when-changing-between-close-amp-free/idi-p/688124#M13688

Hi, In some of our assemblies we use varying lengths of the same item, defined in a family table. We have been able to drive a parameter by the length of the instances no problem, and this places the different lengths of the items as separate lines in the BOM as desired. However, we would like to have a separate table which shows the total required length of that item. For example if we use two 100mm and one 200m strip of the same tape we require a table to display the part number for the tape and the total length of 400mm. In some assemblies we use also use multiple kinds of tape which we would like to display all in one table. Is there a way to combine parameters between parts with the same name and description and display as a single item in a table?  thanks    

I am in the process of testing a Stream Deck XL for improvements in office automation. A large ECO needs a note added. I put the text in Stream Deck so that when I open the text dialogue box it would enter the text.   Here is the text:   Here is what I end up with in Creo.     Is this a font issue or something else? If I copy and paste it from another drawing, or even from the text in the stream deck it works.     Thanks, Dale

Hi, I have a single user license of Mathcad 7. When I purchased it from the PTC website.This website connected me with Digital River. The order details mentioned I should receive a fulfillment confirmation document. Never received any. Also didn't receive a customber number. Now I have a new PC and cannot get a new license file from PTC because missing documents.Anyone recognize this problem ?
