We have an assembly that the designer put too many mounting plates in. The drawing BOM showed 26 plates but only 24 columns. When he went in and removed the 2 extra plates from the assembly and then opened the drawing, he received a message that the BOM count quantity had changed from 26 to 24. All good so far, Checked out the drawing and with the change went to check it back in. Message appears that nothing has changed so nothing to check in. What is Creo thinking when it tells you that the BOM has changed but it isn't changed for checking back in? Same thing but with a dimension. Changed from a single hole diameter callout to adding a 4X. Open the drawing, get notified that the dimension has changed, but nothing to check in due to being no change. In both cases, we had to do something in the drawings to 'force' a change that Creo would recognize as a change to get the changes checked back in. Very frustrating and in both had to open the drawings twice to realize what it would take to

We are using CREO 7.0.  An associate has a Harness that she is trying to figure out if we have all the spools for.  In the model tree, it shows all the spools, but some have a small box that maybe looks like a small schematic in front of the normal spool model tree icon.  CAN anyone explain what that means?  As you can see, we have other spools that just show the normal spool icon.  The model tree looks like this:And it is the spool icon in the red box that we are curious about.thanks in advance!!!!    

We have a handful of Mathcad 8 installations that are failing and reporting an exit code of -610 back to SCCM. Does anyone know that this exit code means? Or where the installation log files are located?

Hi,I am a newbie to Creo and I recently created a small format to test it out the scale properties of a drawing. here I found 2 scale one is drawing sheet scale(!) and view scale? how to call the view scale function in the title block from a format? For this I used &scale.  

I have rectangular flanges that I have to create hole patterns for. I usually start with making a master cad file that has some automation to it, which allows me to make quick adjustments to the assembly for modified versions/sizes of the product. Rectangular hole patterns have been an issue for me. My current method is this. I create a rectangular construction sketch, using the center of the hole/duct as a reference. I put a point or circle in one of the corners of the rectangle. I then pattern the sketch using directions, with a relation that takes the length of each side and the number of holes and drives the hole spacing for each direction separate. However, that gives me all of the holes in the middle that I don't want. I just need the outline, so I go in an deselect all the center holes by hand. It's tedious but it works. The problem is when I have to adjust the number of holes, then I have to go through and fix all the selected/deselected locations. The outline pattern option do

Hi,By defauft, when I add a geometric tolerance, it looks like this :  How can I change where the line starts ? For example, like this : Thanks in advance.

Hi,   I have to use same pattern in multiple files. is there any way to create a UDF file of pattern table and use the same UDF file in part whenever required.   Creo version 8 Windchill 12   please help   Thanks, Sandeep C.  

Hello everyone,  I am using Creo 9.0.0.0, and I am trying to define a slider connection for a piston and cylinder to perform its mechanism. I used to do that several times before and it worked. But this time once I define the rotation it is telling me "Connection definition is incomplete".  as shown in the figure.  I have defined two assemblies, the first one which is the moving parts including the cylinder. The second assembly is the fixed parts including the piston.  I am not sure why it is not working with me.       

As you can see the green line is Y+ axis limit .How do I turn all 3 axis XYZ moves into X rotary Z moves?

We would like to be able to export a step file with annotations but without quilts. Currently when selecting annotations, quilts are automatically selected and greyed out so they cannot be unselected. A PTC support representative already explained there's no way around it using the standard options. Please make it possible to export a step file with annotations but without quilts (product idea). Currently when we want to send a step file to our vendors (mold maker for example) it includes confusing quilts which are a potential source for errors.

Hello, this is Minkyu Hwang from IDT.   I have a few questions. 1. If you run creo parametirc, it will be executed in about 3 minutes. 2. Unable to access creo parametric internal browser.   I'm asking if there is a solution for these two problems and I am asking myself.

Hi Community, I'm a beginner to Creo toolkit with C++. Please suggest me, what is the best approach to learn it. My goal is to build custom applications for creo from scratch. I have basic c++ knowledge.Thanks,  

Hello everyone, I have created an assembly in creo prametric v7 from two separate parts. After completion, this assembly has File/Manage File/Rename given a new name and saved. Calling up this module works perfectly. But now when I click on Delete current object, the old file name is also displayed in the delete window for assigned objects. However, this file does not exist anywhere, neither in session nor locally on the hard disk. Any search for this old file has no result.   So why am I seeing this name as a related object in the delete window?     I'm grateful for every comment Matthew   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Hallo Zusammen, ich habe in creo prametric v7 eine Baugruppe erstellt, aus zwei Einzelteilen.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM060When Creo opens a part, whether it is command editing or moving and rotating, it will not respond for more than 10 seconds, and it will reply after 20-30 seconds of no response time, and then cycle.

Hello all, as a simple example I use a sinus function where I want to find the absolute minimum and absolute maximum. If the function will be more complicated then the local extrema are not interesting currently. I am looking for the absolute values. To be honest I don´t want to make a derivation d/dt and find the corresponding times via solve block. I would like to use some kind of integrated function. Unfortunately "max(vector)" and "min(vector)" does not work. My function f(txx) seems to be not an array ... Hm. Also I have found in the F1 help menu a function for local minima and local maxima. I understand that it compares the array elements but it also doesnt help. Can you help please? My sheet is attached. Also here the screenshot:

I'm not really sure what is wrong with my document.   If I simply evaluate the function ZL() I get a vector output (or what I'd call a vector - matrix with one column).  When I take the same function and assign to a variable I get the error screen captured below.   Is there a way to explicitly define a variable to be a vector or matrix?   Or, is that not the problem?  I've attached the Mathcad Prime document.   EDIT:  Looks like the issue might be because I'm using a range variable (see link below).   So, how do I convert a range variable to a matrix/vector variable? https://support.ptc.com/help/mathcad/r8.0/en/index.html#page/PTC_Mathcad_Help/range_variables.html 

my ptc mathcad 8.0.0.0 student license just stopped out of nowheremy license is a student one and more than 30 days have passed, basic use, and today mathcad stopped working without any message and my studies are inside it. Can you help me understand what happened if it was a license problem or what can I do to solve it?

Is it possible to always get the results in desired unit style say I defined a variable with mm after evaluating it shifts to m but I want to keep it to mm by default I know I can modify the unit placeholder but wanted to know if there is any workaround for this 

Hi All, I'm working on a problem of dissipation of entrapped energy in a steam turbine, for which I would like to calculate the energy and display the result with units. However, when I try to include the units in the terms Mathcad finds some errors. As soon as I strip out the units, Mathcad finds a solution without trouble, please see my worksheet, attached. Any ideas what the trouble is and if there is a way to include units in the equations? Thanks!
