I've got an Excel add-in that I created that used to work with CREO 4, and when upgrading to CREO 7, it now crashes both programs to desktop with no error displayed. I've updated PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE and PRO_DIRECTORY. I've run the batch files. I've tried changing PRO_DIRECTORY in case it is not updated correctly to several other options, and it throws a different error so I'm ruling that out since what I assume is correct causes the crash. Are there any tips as to what is causing the hard crash? This is occurring for several users that used to use the Excel add-in but have updated to CREO 7.This occurs not only on code that was previously working, but also on the examples in the VB API document. 

Hello, everyone. I tried to assemble the components with a matrix through the function "ProAsmcompAssemble()". I found that some matrices could be assembled successfully, some matrices could not, and the matrices themselves were correct. For example <matrix_1> cannot be assembled, it will return "PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS".ProMatrix matrix_1 = { { 0.707107, 0.707107, 0.0, 0.0 },{-0.707107, 0.707107, 0.0, 0.0},{0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0},{33.2321, 64.3448, -130.0, 1.0} }; The following matrix <matrix_2> can be assembled successfully,ProMatrix matrix_2 = { {1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0},{0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0},{0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0},{0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0} }; I don't understand why this is, how to solve this problem, can someone tell me? Thanks! 

Hi, Is there any option or workaround to export all figures into single PDF file? For example, i have combination of Figures, Some 3D Figures and many 2D Figures.All i want is to combine all figures in single PDF file. In publishing option it combines all pages in single file, but in .pvz file and can be viewed through Creo View only. My concern is same i want it in PDF file extension. Please help me out if any workaround is there. Regards,Jignesh.

Hello,       I think that I reached the full capability of Mathcad Prime 8 regarding the symbolic calculation. Or I am wrong?   Can somebody run this sol2 determinant in Mathcad Prime 9 to see the result?   Mathcad Prime 8 file attached.    

I imported an assembly and now the components are "fixed" but I want to move a sub-group of them to another location.  Doing "edit definition" I can move a single component using the dragger.  But I have several (hundred) to move so doing so one by one isn't appealing.  I guess I can restructure the ones I need to move into a sub-assembly, then move the subassembly with the dragger, and then restructure out into the parent again, but seems tedious.   I found this menu under component operations:     and the transform tool looks like it takes me through all the steps needed to make this move (simple translate along the principal coordinate axis) - yet nothing happens...   Am I missing a step?  Or is there another better way to do this? 

I would like to Create Function by ODEs solving. I can do it if I have one ODE - see please the picture But if I have 3 ones - see please the attach Prime 6  

Is there an option to export the exploded views from a model to a 3D PDF?

Is there any option to get the same behavior as listbox in prime? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.3.0I want to load the fastener library in Creo 6.0.3.0.

When using Creo 4.0, if I am working on a drawing and want to open the part file for that drawing that resides in the same directory, I thought Creo would look in the same directory as the drawing file that I have open. Now it seems like I automatically go back to the working directory. Is my memory defective or is there something I changed in the Config file that is causing this?  

I have tried several speed tests, using return and not using return in a function.  It is hard to detect any difference.  Is there any reason to use return for a function that does not have any conditional breaks, that is, executes top to bottom and exits at the bottom? Regards, DS

I think this is the best probrem for electrical engneering students, original from MFra's post.Try to solve by Mathcad or Prime 9 if you can.     

Hi,We change our view projections and toggle from 1rd angle projection (Europe) to 3rd angle projection (US).To avoid mistakes, (of course symbol in Title block is changed) we want to add the name of the projected view under each drawing view.The config option: make_proj_view_notes = YES , do it automatically.But: the view name is the default name, and the system write the view name twice as shown in picture.It seems not possible to define the option to write a view name only one time, but always twice "view_name-view_name"Users need to manually correct it.Did someone use that option "make_proj_view_notes = YES" and how do you manage that please?Thanks.(Creo Element Pro Wildfire 5.0)

Who's to guess what's in a protected area? Prime 6 in attach. We have some tools in Mathcad 15 (trace)    

My Mathcad trial is expiring in 3 days, but I have 4 more weeks until I graduate, and I am not done with my Senior capstone project. My group is designing a school building for the Holy Trinity Academy in Adumasa, Ghana. We need mathcad for a couple more weeks.Please Help!!

when evaluating frequency equation for a MDOF model, if the stiffness and mass matrices are defined in terms of mass, elasticity, and etc constants, the resulting terms of the symbolic evaluation are reversed. (see below). I know that the result in terms of the constants is the correct answer. However, I dont understand why the determinant using values only gives reversed terms? Any ideas or pointers are apprieciated. Thanks      

Hi guys, I`m a student major in chemistry. Recently, i`m confused this this interpretation, The equation"The method proposed here for determining the kinetic parameters is a multistage procedure. First, the Pearsons linear correlation coefficient between the left-hand side of eq 15 and the reciprocal of temperature is used as the objective functionfor optimization, where n and m are the variable parameters to maximize the objective function. Here, optimization has been performed by means of the maximize function of Mathcad software (Mathsoft inc.). By this optimization procedure, the n  and m parameters that yield the best linear correlation for the plot of the left-hand side of eq 15 versus the reciprocal of temperature are obtained".  The equation is shown below. So I was wondering how can I implement this derivation through Mathcad.   

I am trying to install this on a second computer. It is installed on my desktop but want it on my laptop as well. It won't let me do it. Why??   

In the assembly after enabling the Show popup view from the model tree settings, While hovering the mouse cursor on any of the components in the model tree Creo shows the thumbnail of the part. Which shows the message (Click the image for a 3d view) Earlier updates of the Creo like in Version 7 after clicking on the image will get the 3d lightweight preview in the mini windows which is a useful feature for many customers. Now we are unable to get a 3d lightweight preview of the component geometry in Creo 9.       

I have an assembly with over 1000 components, and I must read the entire structure  (all level sub-assemblies and parts).  But then, during the read, the Creo runs generate at every level.  The overall structure read goes beyond 15 minutes.   And there are cases I have to parse Assemblies beyond 1000 components, which makes it impractical to use the custom program. Is there a way to disable generate programmatically during the assembly read?  Example: subComponents = currentComponent.ListFeaturesByType (False,                                                                                                                           &n

Good morning ; it is a problem of representation of curves in an X,Y diagram. Before, I was using Mathcad 14 and when you drew a curve in an OX,OY plot, you could show a quadriage (that is to say all the lines // at the graduations of the OX and OY axes). This grid was green, in general. Now, I have not found a way to make this grid appear. Is there a way ? In the online help tutorial, it says to double-click in the plot area to open the Mathcad Chart application; should the chart open in the "chart section"? When I do this, nothing happens. Please tell me how to make this grid appear.

I have a question related to projection views, usually we can project side views from parent view and place along the projected axis (move freely along the projected direction). Is there any ways to limit the movement of projected views, like i don't want projected view move opposite direction to the projected direction and placed other side of the main view. This will make wrong angle of projection.  

Hi!I am working on a school project where we are using surface modeling to create a hair dryer suitable for injection molding (We are and have to work in Creo 4.0, just fyi). I decided to go for a more advanced modeling method where I make a boundary blend towards a projection on a complex "pane"/surface (as can be seen in image below). I use a ribbon as a tangent for the boundary blend, I create the ribbon with sketches and curves. The splines in the sketches are tangent to a horizontal center line, while the curves are tangent to axis that are perpendicular to the vertical plane. I do the same for the for the handle (see below).I then merge and thicken this. I use the top-down approach to make the back half referencing the relevant points of the front half. Lastly to my point and my issue, the thicken (even tough all boundary blends uses tangency to ribbons that where created with sketches and curves that are constrained in such a manner that they are perpendicular to the vertic
