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. We have:# Serviceable = Creo Simulation Live# Feature Name = 379# Feature Version = 40.0# Number of Copies = 35# Expiration Date = 30-jul-2023# Module = Creo Simulation LiveHere are the errors that I facedFluid 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.       

Hello there,I am new to mathcad and in my start I got a strange result: I am deviding a length of dimension m by a constant number and the result is not what I was expecting    H:=10 m soil layer thickness N:=5 number of calculation layers Dz: = H/N Dz= 400        

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?

Does anyone know how to speed up MCP for processing large data sets? I am working with a 50832x14 size data set that is output in Excel from another program. I would prefer to filter, sort, and manipulate the data in MCP vs Excel. However, trying to execute a simple filter step in MCP on a data set this large has proven impossible. I can't get the function to complete (endless spinning wheel). Whereas I can complete this one step in Excel in about 1sec. Does anyone know how to speed this up? Or any other tricks for processing large data sets in MCP? I would really, really prefer to avoid Excel but at this point, I'll have to use it.Thanks!     

I have got a Macbook Air, I downloaded "Paralells" a windows emulation.Then I downloaded Creo 5.0 on windows and it crashes as I open it.Mathcad works fine.(I got a students license)When I open it, the blue loading circle spins for like 2 seconds, then it crashes pls help me to solve the problem   

Is there any way to add SKF library to CREO?

Hello everyone, I am using an .xml to get information from Schematic into Parametric and after that to project it via HMX into drawing. I am struggling to get the information regarding signals and terminators. I am able to import terminator table in CSV format into schematics, but it won't show in parametric neither in drawing. Regarding signals I'm not even able to import CSV table - there is info that design in not matching information....I tried to use different global parameters to match it, but nothing works..... Is there a way how to import signal and terminator data in schematics so it will load in parametric and in drawing? What are the important global parameters which should I follow when creating CSV files so it will load without issues?  I'm just learning with this program, so some screenshot with possible solution will be really really helpful. Schematics 7.0.0.0Parametric 7.0HMX advanced 

The "Seed & Boundary" (was Surf & Bound) is great functionality.  Where did it go for selecting surfaces to apply appearance? I use "Seed & Boundary" to select surface for model actions like copy surf.  I know how to use "Shift" for that.  The same technique won't work for selecting surfaces in appearances.  Hoping someone can tell me how.  Did they take it out?  Or is it just buried in the mountain of inconsistencies?  Now it seems like you have to go in and carefully select all the (maybe 100's) of little surfaces manually one by one.  Please tell me what I'm missing.  Thank you.

In the thirty-day trial.  Hoping this "bug" (see attached .pdf) turns out to be my mistake, because if not, PTC will have lost a customer.  

Hi all,Is there anyway that all the existing instances in a family table can be deleted without having to open up each generic prt  in Creo? Thanks 

Hello, We are working on MBD implementation in our organization. We have created start templates to work with MBD strategy which has predefined combination states present in it.There are some default combination states which we want to lock those so that no one can delete the combination state and no one can edit the name of the combination state. Do we have any config setting or any option within Creo functionality so that we can lock those comb states? Please share any article if there is available
