Hi, Is there a way to control the number decimal places of Creo default bend note angle and bend radius through config or detail files instead changing them manually one by one? please assist. Refer attached image for the targeted bend note (our current standard). Bend Radius with 3 decimal and angle with Zero decimals.  

When installing Mathcad Prime, in the third window the application selection menu is empty. I've run the .exe file as administrator and the problem persists. Any help would be appreciated. 

Hi,We have an old LMTools running providing an license for MathCad 11.I would like to transfer the license to a new supported server, but I'm stuck with the license file itself.I did manage to start the license server, but I'm receiving an error: (mathsoft) Invalid license key (inconsistent authentication code)I cannot find any contract, customer nr or anything, so I cannot create a case with PTC.Can anyone help to transfer the license to a new server?Thank you     

There is no way to check node ids for meshes that are not in FEM mode. When I output the results of modal analysis in ASCII, the node IDs and mode vectors in the XYZ directions are output, but there is no way to confirm where these node IDs point in the model. (Mechanica had a way to check) Isn't it strange that CreoSimulate can't do what Mechanica does? What is the meaning of output files of modal analysis results such as ~.d01 and ~d.02? ---------------------------- FEMモードではないメッシュの節点IDを確認する方法がありません。 固有値解析の結果をASCIIで出力すると節点IDとXYZ方向のモードベクトルが出力されていますが、これらの節点IDがモデルのどこ指すのか確認する方法がありません。（Mechanicaでは確認する方法がありました） MechanicaではできたことがCreoSimulateではできないというのはおかしくないですか？ ~.d01、~d.02などの固有値解析の結果の出力ファイルには何の意味がありますか？  

Is there an option to make default input type text and not math? I'm doing a machine design course and we have to use Mathcad to calculate the exercises. Majority of the document will therefore be text so it would be more convenient if it was the default option. Meaning that if I just start writing, it'd write text and not math. Math-field could then be activated using [ctrl] [m]

I saw some older posts, but nothing recent. Is there a way to convert .c3di or .pvz files to a more neutral format such as the FBX filetype?  Has PTC recognized this gap and is it on their roadmap? 

Good afternoon. Hoping for some help to resolve this. When I am using the model weld annotations in the drawing, they have the leader line right through the center of the text as well as overlapping text. The annotation looks fine on the model. I assume this is a drawing property setting but I have been through them all and can't figure it out. Picture attached. Appreciate any help. Joe   

So, I'm working on a drawing in Creo 6.0, and I've hidden all of the datum tags that were not attached to a GDT in a layer. However, they still appear when I open the latest published version of the drawing in Creo View. How can I get these datum tags that are hidden in a layer to not appear in Creo View as well?            

I am a bit new to skeletons but my idea was to do an outline of my assembly in my skeleton and then use a copy geometry feature to bring the whole skeleton into my part so that I can use the surfaces as references for solid geometries. But, it does not let me finish the copy geometry feature, if I select to copy all surfaces (it only lets me finish if I select specific surfaces). So I wanted to ask what the proper way to copy all surfaces using a copy geometry is? Is bringing the whole skeleton into your model how one would do it? Thanks for any replies!   

Hello everyone: I have a question about how mathcad prime handles the units in the background. See attached Mathcad Prime 3 spreadsheet for reference. Why does the top formula (i.e., the one where the variables have units) get a different answer than the bottom formula (i.e., the one where the variables don't have units)? Shouldn't it be the same since, in this particular formula, all of the units cancel out? And how is this program handling the units in the background? Does it use default units under the hood and then convert from those default units to whatever units you type in? Thanks in advance for your replies.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.9.0Fluid simulation study is grayed out.

I built an assembly model of a packaging concept (basically bunch of boxes and their size is still to be "optimized").  This model has several flexible components that are in themselves assemblies of flexible components (boxes within boxes).  My problem is that Creo never retrieves the top assembly "as I saved it". Things look good, there is no need to regenerate and the sketches in the components that have text objects that display the size of the boxes have the correct values.   After I save and open this model, the system 1st regenerates it, then after that, the "need to regenerate" icon is active.  And only after the 2nd regeneration, the models look right.   Is there a setting that would prevent this from happening or is this just how "flexible" models are supposed to work?  This sheds some lights as why the use of flexible models is discouraged in our company.     I dug up this thread - Has anyone studied the effect of numerous flexible com

I have many family tables of hardware items designed in a system that is standalone and had to go through hoops to get the spreadsheet exported from excel moved to this system. I then have to rebuild my master CAD model of the parts and put the columns needed into a blank family table. In Creo 4, I was able to cut and past the data from the exported .csv file into the family table, save it and then verify the instances with no issues. Now on Creo 7, I do the import and the spreadsheet turns yellow background and when saved the family table is empty. Open the Excel editor and all of the data is there. It just won't update the Creo file data. Any suggestions before I open a helpdesk call?  

Hello All!Have a great day. Please help me find a step-by-step all modules tutorials (PDF/Video) library?   

Hello PTC community,I have the following problems: I want to import data via STEP. The import does not cause me any problems, only after the import there are always too many sub-assemblies that I do not want to have. Is there any way in Creo to eliminate these "intermediate assemblies" (See pictures).  Are there any special import profiles?          I would appreciate any suggestions and tips. Many thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I am creating VPN so that i can access PTC- Creo licence sever (in a sever Computer at offiice) from other internet. But it not totally success as i want. If we are using the same network (wifi or wired) with sever computer, everything works fine (already add exception for in-bound and out-bound port 7788). Then we want to work remotely -> need to create VPN so that we can access to the license sever from outside. I created a VPN following this website: https://www.draytek.com/support/knowledge-base/5330I connected to the office network successfully via VPN, but when i open Creo, it shows error: license cannot found. I ask support from supplier, then they suggest to turn off all firewall for both sever computer and user's computer as the picture below. Then i open the Creo successfully, they are not support me anymore after that What should i do next to access to the license sever without turn off these firewall? It is so dangerous when tur

Hey, Is there a way to change to the basic element names in AFX? I know there is element_name.txt, but that also use the ELEMENT_NAME but I want to change that. Thank you!

Using Move By Dimension in Flexible Modelling to adjust in Y direction causes dimension value changes in X direction in Creo Parametric.-----------There's a bug in the move function.if you look at the sketch it shows one hole that is moved by the 'move' in the tree above.The move is dimension driven and moves the hole from 40 to 49mm away from the bottom face.The feature also moves the hole a tiny distance parallel with the face, which it should not.You can see this by opening the sketch with the move suppressed and again with the move active, as shown in the two jpegs.

PTC must have the most user-unfriendly support site I have seen. I want to check the expiration date of my current Mathcad support agreement, and even after logging into my account at tpc.com/support I cannot find that information. How can I check the date? If I look at the "extra" license file, it has an expiration date of 30-APR 2023.  Is that the same as the expiration date of my support agreement or does the license file have a grace period? Victor Roberts   

I am trying to create a solid model with extrusion. I need to create a sketch first and then extrude. Is it possible using VB Api alone?If yes, what are the objects I need to use? Is there a object for creating sketches?   

I want to use the pvz file in Unity. Please let me know if there is any other way. Thank you.  

I have a permanent license for Mathcad Prime 3.1.  My laptop motherboard on this computer failed.   I've replaced the motherboard and can no longer use Mathcad.  When trying to get another license, I can't, since the software on the PTC site indicates that my product code is incorrect.   I'm currently retired (2016), and would like to get this working.   I'm not paying support, since I'm happy with the current versions Mathcad 15 and Prime 3.1.   Can someone guide me to the right person/contact? Thanks!Larry Callis 

Recently I have been having an issue where MathCAD Prime will nto run on my PC anymore. It loads the splash screen and then nothing happens afterwards. Looking at the task manager, a PTC MathCAD process begins but disappears when the splash screen disappears. I have followed the steps in the other relevant forum posts (below) and contacted PTC technical support for help with this issue but the only fix was to completely reinstall windows. Uninstall/Reinstall does not help, nor does copying config files from a PC where the software is still working. Compatibility mode does not help either. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Installation/Prime-4-0-does-not-run-anymore/m-p/803946https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Installation/Mathcad-Prime-does-not-launch-after-the-initial-splash-on/m-p/729884 Now, 2 months later the same issue is happening again. There are no other issues with my computer, everything else runs fine except MathCAD Prime. It does not matter whether it is

I am unable to acquire a new license for Mathcad express after changing the laptop. With no access to license management, how do I get an updated license with the new Host ID?
