Does anyone know if it is possible to create a unit for optical power loss in optical fiber communications having the units of dB/km?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Friends, I need a function that returns a vector containing n natural random non-repeating numbers (Lotto game)

Hi all; When I want to save dwg file from annotation module, I am taking following error;"am_save_sheet_dwg/f2_core/unknown_error".  I need help, thank you very much   

I'm using Creo 5 and can't figure out how to mirror multiple components either.  I can't believe this isn't available!?  Does no one using creo make symmetric assemblies?  Is it available in Creo 8?   Well, I'm off to make my 11 individual mirror features about the same plane.  

Hi everyone, As a chemical engineering student, I am trying to solve a pipeloop problem.  I stated all the necessary balances (see below):And the other necessary formulas:which I want to solve for Fh(v),Fo(v) and Fc(v) from v=0 until v=VL. now I've set up this solve block:  which in theory seems solvable, as there are 5 unknowns and 5 equations. Is this the correct way to solve this problem? With kind regards, Tim                    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.4.0I want to use PTC_WM_CREATED_ON in the condition.mcc file. When trying to use >= it does not check the file properly. The following syntax is used (PTC_WM_CREATED_ON GTE 20200603). The string value shown in PTC_WM_CREATED_ON is not recognized.

Hello all I´m a big fan of using Snapshots with contraints values to describe sequences of mechanical designs.....but I hope you will help me how update the Snapshot Contraints values in an easier way. This is the way I do it:1) Create one snapshot with all the contraints needed with the correct values for that sequence-step.2) Copy above snapshot and correct the contraints values for this sequence-step3) Etc The problem I find is that it´s very difficult to update, for example when I need to add a constraint I must click on every snapshot and update them, also it´s difficult to compare the snapshots to debug when something goes wrong.  The attached pdf shows a simplified ASM with some notes to explain what I mean 🙂 BR Jan Olsson

Hello, I have drawing with some erased views.When I delete a sheet which content a view erased, the erase view "appear" on all other sheets.Is there a method to find and delete all views of a sheet or search for erased views in a sheet ?Or an option to delete erased views with the sheet ? Thanks 

Hi All, I'm using Creo 8.0.Hopefully somebody here can help me out since I haven't been able to find a solution on the internet yet.Quite often I have to design tubes which will be cut from sheetmetal and then rolled into their round shape. Therfor all cuts need to be normal to the sheetmetal plate. So far so good. However when I need to make a simple angular cut at the end of the tube things get frustrating pretty soon.When you look at attached cross section you will see the upper end is exceeding the cutting line. Here I've used normal to driving surface. When I use normal to offset surface the upper end is fine but the lower end is exceeding. I do understand what it is doing so this still makes sense to me. Therefor I would expect "normal to both surfaces" should do the trick but this feature doesn't work at all. This is frustrating cause a simple cut like this can't be done in one feature but always requires more features. Am I missing something here or is it just a

We just upgraded to Creo 7.0.10.0 from Creo 4.0 M150.  Does anyone know how to turn off the command information text in the upper right corner of the command ribbon?  This is not a big deal, just something that annoys me.

Hi Guys,   In Creo Parametric 7.0 I’m trying to replace an assembly in a simplified rep by use of a family table instance.I’m having an assembly with a pneumatic parallel gripper (some kind of cylinder) in, which is “driving” some other parts:   This gripper has a family table with some instances (different positions of the jaws):     Now I like to replace this gripper in a Simplyfied Representation in the higher assembly.I like to do that with the “Substitude selected models by family table”:         This works fine for the gripper. But the parts (jaws and bolts) which are driven by the gripper aren’t following the jaws of the gripper:   Does anybody know how to solve this?

Hello, I wanted to see if anyone else has dealt with this issue before. The exploded-lines that I create for my exploded drawing views are constantly disappearing or should I say, getting deleted. I have no clue why this is happening. I'm very meticulous with saving my views along with my drawing files too. Yet often when I close the file and open it back up again, the lines are gone and nowhere to be found in the model tree. This is beyond frustrating. I just wanted to ask if anyone else has these issues too.

Hi, I have set following settings:Model Properties /Detail option  default_annotation_font arialn.ttf  symbol_font ISOsame settings in drawing properties All symbol come in arialn.ttf but only the diameter symbol (by pressing button add diameter symbol to dimension) stays in old legacy mode (see picture - only lines no ttf font)Strange thing is  - when i manually add the diamter symbol as prefix it is correct (see second picture)  How can I fix this?    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0Is it possible to change the amount of the component table, multiplying it by 2, without inserting 2 parts in the model tree?

We are using creo parametric in french but we are creating drawings in english.When a drawing section is created the section label is in french.Is it possible to force it to english "section" in some way?Basically today we need to edit the note and change it manually. If we can save some time it is good. I know one solution is to set it up in english language but we want to keep all the menus in french for people who are not too confident. 

Hi! I have problem in my creo version 8. I cannot add H7 tolerances do some drawings. For some I can, for others I just can't see the option to do it. I tried to change settings of models, add tables with Hole tolerances etc. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas? I am attaching 2 examples - one is a drawing where it works, other where it does not.

I'm looking to see if my company has an available license for mathcad and if not possibly acquire one. Our PTC account gives me access denied when trying to manage licenses and I'm unable to upgrade the account as I don't have the information necessary.

Hi, Mathcad v3.1, v4.0, v6.0, v8.0, v15.0 run with OpenJDKAre these versions able to run with OpenJDK instead of Oracle Java?   I am hoping that one is able to install the OpenJDK and then install the MathCad.  Please let me know if this has been tested and works.I am not able to find any information on this site.Thank you.

Hello, Are there any configs that auto suppress failed parts on regeneration?  I am opening several parts for research that I need to regenerate and the failure diagnostics really slow me down.  Is there a way to suppress this function? Running PTC Creo 4.0 Thanks for the help!

While working on drawing, "license lost" message along with "offline mode" message (see image). I cannot click anything.  "offline mode" message appears but not clickable. I cannot bring "license lost" message to the foreground of the screen. Drawing is saved but it would take 2 hours to re-open. Solution?
