Hi, I'm attempting to use conditional formatting to determine whether values meet certain criteria within a matrix, and then based on those results, manipulate the values within the matrix by certain formulas embedded within the if/then statements.  Right now I have the contents of the original matrix (output from the embedded excel file), and I'm attempting to use a separate variable (Mcalc) to use step functions to move in both directions within the matrix to identify each value within the matrix to confirm whether it meets certain criteria. I believe I'm getting hung up on the portion where I'm trying to use two separate step functions within the definition of a single variable. My other question relates to the embedded excel I have within the document. Is there any way to perform the calculation I have within the embedded excel (a simple formula that references two separate vectors of different lengths) outside of excel? Thanks in advance, &n

Is there a way in Creo 9.0.4.0 to turn the words back on along with the icons?   Is there a printout of the list of icons and what they mean?

Hello, I am trying to leverage Mathcad Prime's symbolic solve as an intermediary between FBD equations and a function to evaluate results. I am missing how to "push" the symbolic evaluation into a function as shown in the attached.

Can someone please help and tell me how to calculate or find the values of " exponent " here (attached) ??Thanks a lot ...

Hello,Is it possible to only display the annotations (mainly for dimensions) in the drawing tree for Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0 ?In the example below, I would like to only see what is in the "Annotations" without depending on their view. 

We have been suffering from an issue with saving files back to the network over VPN. While I accept the limitations of VPN there are some significant delays with Creo v8 (and also seen earlier) when saving into a folder that already contains many other files - the delay gets worse with the larger number of files in a folder. What is notable is that if we save a new or the same part to a new folder the time is greatly reduced. We have tried testing with a default config file and it made no difference.What is also notable is that the first time you first go to open a file from a folder with many files it also takes ages to iterate and display the files to browse.Saving larger files from other applications is much faster and we can transfer mb's in seconds - saving 600kb in Creo can take over a minute at times.I am open to suggestions as to how to resolve this?

Hello Simplified Representations aren't all that simplified. If you have an assembly with a lot of patterned parts, you have to arduously include and exclude them manually, one by one. And then when you make a drawing using those Simpreps, the BOM table changes. Styles are an order of magnitude simpler to handle, and less confusing. Plus you can set if they should be shaded, transparent, wireframe or whatever. I would very much prefer to assign a Style to a drawing view.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0Hi,My customer want to know how to import rhino model (.3dm) contains attribute user texts into creo and want to access attribute user text properties inside Creo for navigation .

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.8.0Hello,I experienced something weird with Creo 7.0.8.0 and Windchill 12.0.2.1 :When I save and upload a CAD, if I am quick enough to create a new part while the upload is running, Creo crashes with a fatal error.This problem is easily reproducible (only need to be fast).Any idea what is the cause of this issue? Is there any way to tell Creo and/or Windchill not to start a download (in this case, the startpart) while another server operation is running (in this cas uploading a CAD)Thank you in advance

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the simulated fasteners feature within simulate but I am having trouble understanding the values that are being generated and output within the .RPT files. Please could someone help me understand the units it generates the results in and there magnitude. Are the results related to the principal system units? If so how? Or is some conversion needed?For example say may principle system units are: millimeter Kilogram Sec (mmKs) And my reference results for a fastener are:Fastener1_axial_force: -3.623420e+02Fastener1_axial_stress: -1.921483e+01Fastener1_bending_moment: 6.681525e+03Fastener1_bending_stress: 5.784788e+02Fastener1_intf_bend_momt: 7.016585e+04Fastener1_intf_norm_forc: -3.369641e+03Fastener1_intf_shr_forc: 3.136455e+04Fastener1_intf_tors_momt: 8.245580e+04Fastener1_sep_stress: 7.248065e+02Fastener1_shear_force: 2.094341e+03Fastener1_shear_stress: 1.110620e+02Fastener1_torsion_moment: 7.680219e+02Fastener1_torsion_stress: 3.324723e+0

Hi,We are planning to develop a Creo utility and we have chosen to go with VB api since it contains the required APIs that covers all of our requirements. But the doubt is can we use VB api in C# since it is a COM library. Thanks for your valuable replies.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0After importing images through object OLE in the format template, the image cannot be displayed when opened again, and even after creating a drawing template using the format template, the image cannot be displayed. What is the reason? How can I import PNG images with transparent backgrounds into the format template file?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.4.0Does Creo 7.0.4.0 work with an AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 video card. The machine has 64 GB of system ram. Intel Xeon Silver 4110 CPU@ 2.10 GHz (2 processors).

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and DatecodeNACreo Simulation Live include the fluid simulation study. I tried with all the versions.(Advance premium version).

Is there a way to set the drawing default hatching to use model hatch? I have not seen anything in the config or DTL file to allow this. We are using Creo 9.  

Could not read from Model Tree config file  

Is it possible to save column in variable element ?I tested to export this session after the modification using  creo_parametric_customization.ui but my modification is not supported in creo_parametric_customization.uiHave you already tested this customisation? Thank you for your help  

This problem involves reconstructing an annular surface using datum points-->curves and the boundary blend surface feature.  I have created a set of circumferential curves and radial curves to be used as the two directions.The circumferential datum curves have the ends condition set to either tangent or curvature using a smaller curve segment created from the same point set.  I do not know of any other way to generate a closed continuous/smooth curve from points than this.  When I create the boundary blend surface, the result is a quilt with a small sliver surface in the region where the ends of my datum curves exist.  How can I eliminate/avoid this sliver surface and instead generate a single continuous/smooth surface?    

hello again! Can someone convert my XMCD files to prime 8, please. My Mathcad Prime 8 doesn't have the option to convert it even though I tried to reinstall it. 

With the new UI, where did the hatch properties get placed? I would just like to change the spacing and am puzzled where they hid this property.  

Hi all, I would like to know if exist a parameter to set up for not create a fastener file everytime I add a fastner into a assembly.If I insert a new fastner using IFX, I will have  a prt file inside the folder of my project. Is it possible to save all the fastnere that I will use in every assembly in a single folder so is not necessary to re-crate a new file everytime I will insert that fastner in another assembly? Thanks      

HiI'm trying to analyse a beam under semi-ellipse load. In the analyses I try to form shear load, bending moment, slope and deflection functions with integrationof load function.If I use symbolic solution method the resulting functions become too complex.Could someone help me by making an example of determination of the shear load function?I hope that with one example, I would be able to solve the rest...Thanks in advance. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM030There is an attribute called Last Modified (PTC_WM_Modified_on ) for EPM object under the visualization and attribute group. I wanted to change the value for it.PTC Suggested below articles and we followed it. But, those are not working as expected. We have documented each and everything.https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs49539https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS232016

Does anyone know if there's a way to parameterize the flag notes in such a way that those in the notes block and the rest of the drawing are synced? For instance, I have a flag note 5 that is now becoming flag note 4, since I deleted a note above it and I need to keep the notes sequential. However, it is extremely tedious/annoying to go through all pages of the drawing and change those flag notes 5's to 4's individually. I find this to be problematic for larger drawings (10+ sheets). Can I control it at the notes level and have the corresponding flag notes auto-update?
