Hello,I have a problem of surface finish with a volume rough.The previous operation leaves 0.2mm of stock (walls and bottom)  for the finish with my volume rough.  I choose a spiral toolpath and i have sharp edges between each trajectory segments. In the real world this create micro stops of the servos of my milling machine and a very bad surface finish.  So i decide to apply a radius with the option "Smooth_corner_radius = Max radius" and "Smooth_radius = 1" (End mill of 6mm diameter).The problem :The calculated trajectory miss some areas of my surface...Same problems with "constant_radius" and angle_radius" for "Smooth_corner_radius", smaller radius value and thinner "step_over". Some ideas ? Thanks in advance

The other day my (HAAS) machine crashed doing a G81 canned drill cycle. I'm not sure how to fix it, but I can't be the first to run into this issue.  Hopefully one of you can suggest a reliable way to fix this. Here is what happened: I had a G19 in the program which changed to the YZ plane.  But there were no circular movements in XY before the G81, so the post processor never added in a G17 code to change back to the XY plane.  When the G81 was called, the drill cycle happened in the YZ plane instead of XY, which crashed the drill.  Later, there was a circular movement, so the G17 code showed up there, but it was too late for my drill cycle. So apparently, the post processor doesn't realize that canned cycles are affected by the active plane.  Is there a checkbox for this somewhere?  Is there some better way to address this problem? Thanks for any help!

Hello,Every time i select "constant load" on a rough sequence, Creo add a at the start of each trajectory a ramping. It is not a correct arc but a succession of straight segments. The huge problem is that in practice, during machining my milling machine moves jerkily and vibrates enormously to follow all the segments. With other types of scanning, i do not have this problem, the cut start on the right Z position. (Volume milling with cst load option = same problem) Rough with cst load : Rough with "Follow contour or spiral" Any idea to remove this "ramping" ? Thanks in advance.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0Within the cabling module, wires are losing assigned colors seemingly at random.The spool colors are designated and the appearances are added to the appearance manager as they should be. (They are auto designated via spool parameters)May not be random, though I haven't been able to pinpoint a cause. The most recent time this has happened was after modifying the angle of a wiring node location. I was able to change ports on wires without issue.This has happened multiple times though I haven't found a reliable solution to fix this or a way to avoid it. Any ideas?

How to activate the model with Creo Object TOOLKIT C++, which function can be activated? 

Hi,   how can I assemble components to coordinates like x,y,z and Rx,Ry,Rz and set the constraint to fixed with the VBAPI? Do I need to use IpfcTransform3D? I can't get it to work. A different approach could be adding a coordinate system with such kind of coordinates and constrain the component to this csys, delete the constraint and set one to fixed.   I'd like to have the same functionality adding components like in the PDMLink structure tab and editing the coordinate values within excel for automating a huge assembly structure.   I have working code from the examples for assembling components to default or setting different constraints.   I would really appreciate it If you can you help memoving the components.   Thanks!David

Hi communityin this worksheet prime does not want to calculateanyone have an idea, the function is however defined Prime8 attached file

HiPlease find the attached mathcad prime worksheet. I am trying to plot Vo(t) vs t. An error stating "Plotting failed. Replace complex numbers and NaNs by real numbers is showing. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.    

Good evening, I am a new user trying to open some old files the creator informed me were made with Prime 3.1.I installed Mathcad 8.0, but am unable to open the files. The files are available in an article on a technical hobby site at https://www.qsl.net/g3wzt/g3wzt1.html where download links are provided. I downloaded the files, extracted the zipped ones and tried to open them but wasn't able to. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am a newbie, so I apologize for any goof ups. RegardsJohn

Hi Guys, In desperate need of your Help. I want to setup Z-Axis to be vertical by default across Creo, But Y-Axis is Vertical.Right now using Config.Pro Option, Orientation set to Isometric. Also created a Custom CSYS with Vertical Z-Axis using the same to calculate CoG & Inertia and File Import operations.But every time I've to select this CSYS to consider it as reference and few users unaware of this unintentionally caused lot of issues. I want to setup Config.Pro Option, Orientation set to user_default. Can someone let me know what angles should I use for x_angle & y_angle to get Z-Vertical. Attached Images for your reference.

Can someone point me to a good explanation or youtube on how to change dimension schemes in Creo 9?For example, if it want to locate a crank-pin on the face of a cylindrical model, I would want the dimensions to by the diameter of the pin and the radial distance from the axis of the cylinder, not the dimensions to two planes.  It looks like there is some simple way to step the dimension set through the choices which will work. I is there a group of training videos here that I can access to learn some of these improvements? If so, where are they? Yes, I know this is a simple question, but.....

Now that our department has converted over to MathCad Prime 8, how is it possible to access the FRAME ANIMATION function that was available from previous MathCad software versions? functionality of the FRAME function is required

Hello, Everyone.From the following :Given :Let ABC be a triangle with incircle ( I ), and let ( I ) touch BC, CA, AB at A', B', C', respectively. Drop perpendicular from A' onto B'C' at A''. Lines BA'' and CA meet at B''. Lines CA'' and AB meet at C''. Prove :C'C'' + B'B'' = C''B'' ( dark-green + green = red )     Thanks in advance for your time and help.        Best Regards.              Loi.  

I have Creo 7.0.2 set up in a performance testing lab on a small local network, with no access to the internet.Creo is taking a long time to start up in this environment, 4x longer than any system I've tried with regular internet access. I suspect the slow launch is somehow related to the networking configuration, but I haven't found a solution.While Creo launches, I can see in Resource Manager that xtop.exe is attempting to access several external IP addresses...It tries to access different ports on these addresses, or slightly different addresses each time.It seems like the launch is slowed down waiting for these connections to time out. Quality Agent was disabled at install time.Antivirus and Firewall are disabled.License server is on the local network and accessible with <1ms pingI’ve tried disabled these Creo settings:File >> Options >> Window Settings >>Expand the browser during startupLet me know when a new version is availableI’ve tried the follow

Hello, can anyone help me write this in mathcad prime? Can't seem to place "otherwise" in my equation   

Hello everyone, I want to import excel data to a table that has names and units... I'm adding the excel data and Mathcad file.  

Hi,Recently upgraded from Mathcad Prime 5 to Mathcad Prime 8, but when I try so solve an equation containing units in Prime 8 it converts them all to variables and I can't get the answer as it now contains undefined variables. Doing the exact same thing in Mathcad Prime 5 and it keeps the conversion and gives me the correct answer. Am I doing something wrong. and is there any way to fix this?

We want to go Model Based Definition which also means having the drawings just display the dimensions and other annotations.But then from time to time, people create dimensions in die drawings.How to check for them? How to find them using ModelCHECK?It seems there was a check for this in the last century, but not in the version 8 or 9 of Creo Parametric...?Does anybody have an idea how to make ModelCHECK list/warn of dimensions created in the drawing? Best Regards

Hello All, I just use Mathcad prime 8. I've got an issue where trying to plot in the graph and then get a notification (there are too many range variables) as shown in the snapshot below. Could you please help how to solve this issue.   Appreciate your help.   Thanks,Aries
