Can we create a Part file(.Prt) using 2 Different parts from backup with Assembly positions control using Multibody option.   example: I have two different parts Models created in creo as two seperate parts, But I need to create as a single Part file. Can we create using Multi body option? If so, how we can be able to bring geometry to a part file with parametric.      

We are experiencing a new issue where the Print Screen button used to trigger Techsmith SnagIt does not work  when Creo is the active application. It used to work flawlessly, but recently stopped working. Its not a change in Creo because we have not updated Creo in 6 months Its not a change in SnagIt because we have not updated SnagIt in months (IT controlled) My best guess is a change introduced by Windows Updates, Optional Windows Updates or Manufacturer Updates in Windows 10.    We use two primary suppliers for laptops and the problem appears to be isolated to Lenovo P series laptops running Windows 10. Lenovo has its own driver update tool keeping the laptop hardware and graphics drivers up-to-date which could add to the confusion.    Our current work-around is to click on another application to trigger SnagIt, but this drops any active UI in Creo. Simple screen shots are easy, but training screen shots are now a bit harder since the active UI elements ar

pentable is not working saving to PDF. I think the issue is Config editor doesn't have right stuff activated,but, the pdf use pentable and use 8 pens options disappear after being added when Settings is reopened and rest to NO. 

wfcTexture::GetFilePath from the Creo 8 object toolkit returns only the file name, not the full path to the image file.  Is there any way to get the actual full file path for the texture image via the object toolkit? 

I am using Creo View MCAD Ver 9.1   I am opening Creo.asm files and I want to explode some parts (which works) and then I want to select several of the parts and Save them but when I go to the File drop down the 'Save As' is not available.   Is there a setting or something that can be done?  I'm a new user and just installed it yesterday.  The support company that I purchased it from showed me that it works fine with .PVS files but that isn't what I'm working with.  I also have .PRT files that I would like to save together but I have the same issue.        

Is there a good way to compare two assemblies' geometry?  I have an assembly that we sent to an outside firm for modifications.  Those modifications were sent back to us as a step file.  The BOM is different and difficult to compare, but the geometries look nearly identical.  Is there a good way to compare model Geometry?Ideally it would be a transparent model with removed geometry in red (solid) and added geometry in green (solid).  That way I can quickly identify differences in the models. 

I have a model that I'm trying to run an analysis on but I can not get it to mesh properly. It is a very odd situation because I can mesh it no problem in AutoGEM and view the mesh results with no errors or warnings but when I start the Analysis and it attempts to mesh the model, I get a completely different number of elements in the mesh and errors. I have tried deleting all the existing mesh files, deleted the folders for the Analysis and even copied everything to a new folder and I get the same results....AutoGEM makes 125k elements, Analysis and Design studies makes 105k elements with all of the default options. Anyone have a clue what could be going on here?

Hallo,I work with Pvz files in Creo Illustrate 9.0.The concerned parts that do show in Creo Illustrate are the "Model Construction Geometry Surfaces". The Pvz file does contain them and is not the problem. These parts do not however show in the Svg export.  These "Model Construction Geometry Surfaces" concern parts we buy, for example a gearbox or an air filter. These parts are used in our Cad models, next to the parts we model ourselves. I am working on a parts catalogue and I need all parts to show in the Svg (an exploded view). how can I make that happen? thank you in advance   

The attached small system of ordinary differential equations cannot be solved, I need help. With the help of gdg solver I have had success so far. There must be a harmless error somewhere that I can't find.

I activated my license by clicking activate>configure product to use existing license> check Mathcad Prime 6.0.0.0>file:[license file path]> then they said it's done.   But then it's still saying that my program is an express version. and many functions are still locked. Is this what it's supposed to be for a student version? If not, how ca  I fix them? Thank you very much!

In MC14 I need letters from the German and non-Latin alphabet/character set (e.g. I want Sütterlin) to designate special objects/vectors. Specifically, I want to define vectors such as x(t) and e(t) this way. How can this font be implemented in MC14?Weekend greeting, Alfred Flaßhaar

I am looking to Demo MathCad for my company and I can not get past the trail edition authentication.PTC Mthcad 8.0.0.0Error Message: Auth FAILEDCan you check this out on your end and email me back with a solution?

When displaying the DB Properties window some attributes cannot be seen well due to the text color. Some texts/attributes in the window are shown in grey color and the background color is almost similar.   Now we need to do a "Edit" to see the details clear instead of just look to the fields.

Hi,I do problems that produce a square matrix in the s domain multiplied by a vector this is equal to a driver vector (circuit analysis).  I build a matrix with constants R,C,L and s as the complex frequency.  I invert this matrix and multiply by vector.  I use symbolics to generate the vector.  I then copy this result manually to a function and do my calculations in the s domain.   My problem is the copy and paste.  If I change something in the matrix (add a resistor) then it changes and I have to manually repeat the copy and paste. Is there a way to do this automatically.   I'm using 7.0 version now. Thanks for the helpAndy    

I have a node locked license of creo 3.0. My computer died and I am having trouble downloading and licensing the software on my new computer. Creo support is refusing to help because I don't have an active maintenance subscription. I was finally able to download the software when I found a link to the educational install - I'm hoping its the same. I downloaded my license file from ptc.com but it still has the mac address of my old computer. The installation software wouldn't let me license it. I tried putting the license file into the ptc folder mauall but that didn't work. I tried to manually change the mac address to match my new computer but I get the same error. What am I supposed to do?

Hi all expertsHope you could do me a favor.How could i express the following series order with programing function?TksTon is the constant value and Toff(t) is variable by having different "duration" Ton, Ton+T1, Ton+T1+T2     

Hello PTC Community, We just installed Creo 8 on a new user's machine. The shortcut "Start In" directory was set up to the correct location (I think). The config.pro, config.win and creo_parametric_customization.ui files are in the "Start In" directory. Mapkey icons show up fine on my machine, but they do not show up on the new user's machine at all. Besides, checking the path of the Start In directory, is there anything else which would cause this?  This is all deja-vu because I have had this issue before, but can't recall how it was solved. Thanks in advance, Jonathan  

I am trying to plot a function in respect to a defined domain.  However, the function states that domain variable is undefined.  I do get discrete values when I remove the label for the function I do get a set of discrete values.  I feel like my issue is syntax, what am I doing wrong?    

Do you know the 1-st and 2-d ?s ? Can you calculate 3-d ? ?    

Hi,I am seeking to do something similar to this but going from .step to .prt. I have many .step models to start with, and I am trying to produce the Creo.prts using a standard template & settings defined in config.pro and template .dip_step. I have ran through the process once to generate a trail.txt file (attached). I can create a list of .step models to be run on in a .txt file if you can help me with the steps in between.Thanks, Mason

Hello,   Is it possible to do such calculation in Mathcad Prime?  

I am using Mathcad Prime 7 and I am having an issue where if I put US temperature units in the denominator of a fraction, it says the value must be a scalar or a matrix.  This does not happen with Kelvin or Rankine units.  I tried writing it different ways and that did not help either.  I tried selecting it directly from the units list as opposed to typing it in.  I tried converting the kelvin equivalent to Fahrenheit and still no luck.  Does anyone know what is going on or how to get this to work?        

At the end of April, I will be retiring after 40 years of Engineering.  I started using Mathcad with the DOS version in 1986.   Since then, it has been my go-to thinking tool.  I welcomed the Windows version in 1992.  I bit the bullet in 2013 with Prime 3 and committed to the transition from the old MathSoft versions.  It was not easy, but finally, I'm glad I did. It is one of the first programs that I start with the computer each morning.  I use it to document my calculations.  As a licensed PE, it is essential to my approval of Engineering designs.  As a part-time Professor, I use it in my lectures to derive or demonstrate example calculations.  I will continue to use it in my retirement. Now the real point of this post.  Out of curiosity, how many out there in this forum used the DOS version? When did you start using Mathcad and at what version?   What do you use it for?  Wouldn't it be great if PTC
