I would like to propose to implement on the PTC website whrer new ideas can be submittet a kind of search tool where I can filter and search the existing product ideas. Someone could have already submitted the idea I would like to submit. So I would rather vote for the existing idea than submitting a new one. BUT with the existing tools it's nearly impossible for me to find any existing idea which is similar to the one I have.   - Specific search for product enhancement ideas - well categorized - filtering for category, product range, date of submission, person who submitted the idea, number of votes a.s.o

Hello, I'm using the AFX extension on Creo 4.0 and everytime I use any of the 8020 profiles, or any slotted profile, the slots never actually appear. Does anybody know why the slots never appear? Thanks! 

Hello All, I have been trying to run the following code as a Macro on Excel to get the name of current model open in Creo :Sub Macro1() Dim asynconn As New pfcls.CCpfcAsyncConnectionDim conn As pfcls.IpfcAsyncConnectionDim session As pfcls.IpfcBaseSessionDim mdlname Set conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5)Set session = conn.session mdlname = session.CurrentModel.FilenameRange("A1").SelectActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = mdlnameMsgBox ("Name: " & mdlname)conn.Disconnect (2) End Sub However, I get the following issue when entering the line of "Set conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5)" I have already added PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE to my system variables, run vb_api_register.bat adn added creo library to the references.Does anybody know how can I fix this issue? Thank you in advance     

Issue: Annotations not showing in drawing Views with different combination states. There are three different annotations. I want to show two annotations in one view and the third annotation in the other view-the two views are in different combination states but of the same model (assembly).•Two different views with different combination states.•The annotations are not showing even after selecting the annotation tab and selecting show annotations. The annotations are in a part within the assembly.•In the model (an assembly) the annotations show in both combination states with no issues.•In the drawing they do not show.

When users open MathCad, it asks them to to upgrade to premium when trying to use some the features. Also it keeps showing that there is no license. I need to speak with a representative

Hi, could someone help me figuring out where I made a mistake in my iteration program? I would like to return a value c for every element from the input matrix, but the output shows only one value so far. I have highlighted the question in the attached sheet. Thank you!

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me out with this seemingly simple task.   I'm adding sketch lines to a finished 2D drawing to mark where custom cuts must be made.  How do I define the dimensions of the line, such as creating the sketch line 1 inch away from a predefined part view line?  I can snap to those lines, but I can't define a simple dimension for the distance between the two lines, or even the length of a sketch line??

Hi, I have problem with step range function when I put step which gives me array with more than 5000 elements. It gives me an error with overflowing. It is really strange for me because when I insert an array with more than 5000 elements from excel table, it works fine. So, do you know why this is happening, because 5000 elements doesn't sound too big for me. If it's overflowing, do you know other way how I can make an array with size of inserted array from excel, because it is important for me that number of elements of array can vary with using other excel tables. Thanks in advance and Best Regards!

hi I'm in charge of application support.  How do you generate a mathcad usage report?  i would like to see a list of machine names/usernames/ datetimes and license number to see who is using what version and when?  I have tried doing this through the ptc community website it all it gives me is the license and subscription information.  not the detailed users who are checking out the licenses.  thanks  

I used below to command promt.but still in solidworks mathcad addin not showing.May i know is there any further steps there "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\regasm.exe" /codebase "C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\Ptc.MathcadPrime.Automation.dll" /regfile:myRegistry.reg version: Mathcad prime 8 and solidworks 2020 

Hi,   In 3D ,Using Pro3dDispListCreate to keep circles or lines etc drawn with ProGraphicsDraw Func. However, in 2D drawings, circles with Pro3dDispListCreate do not look like circles, and with Pro2dDispListCreate, circles or lines drawn with ProGraphicDraw disappear when panned or zoomed in/out.   If there is a way to keep items drawn with ProGraphics Draw in 2d, please help.   Warm Regards, SeonHo CHA.

Please advise how to get rid of the little green box around letters and symbols in worksheet and make them not printable.it's annoying me. Thanks, Ruoshi 

I'm excited to announce the publication of my book to help explain the many confusing files that are ModelCHECK! Of course most of the members of this group may be beyond needing an introduction to ModelCHECK but if you know someone who does need help...Re-Use Your CAD: The ModelCHECK Handbook was published in conjunction with Action Engineering and is available for purchase at Createspace and Amazon. You can also browse through a copy at LiveWorx 2016 in Boston. Look for it and me at the Software Factory booth in the Expo Hall.

I am using Creo Parametric Release N/A and DatecodeN/AI need to know which version of Creo created a step file with 'Creo Parametric by PTC Inc, 2021304' in it. What version of Creo is 2021304?

Hi, I use creo parametric 2.0. I have problem and questions. IF it possible in creo 2.0 make a part and after split have 2 separate part? I know I'm backing up and cutting etc but I'm looking for a creo function that would allow me to do this without backing up.

When I turn on a cross-section, some solid models appear as surface models. They appear as 'hollow'. Nevertheless, 'Show Clipped Model as Solid' is checked on in 'Options', and 'Capped_clip' in config.pro is set to 'yes'....Any suggestions as to what could be wrong? ( Creo 4.0 )   Kind regards    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150I have an assembly that contains parts PRT1 and PRT2. I made a parameter KOS that allows me to choose which part is active in the assembly using IF statement in pro/program.In the assembly i also have a coordinate system, that I would like to place on default coordinate system of whatever part is "active".I tried adding the add feature of csys inside IF statement which supresses/unsupresses either part (and changed references to the appropriate csys of part), but it returns an error that feature with that ID already exists.Is it possible to change references for a coordinate system inside pro/program? Is it possible to use IF statement inside the add feature of csys where it requests references?(pro/program in attachment)

Hello If I have an assembly pattern with a bunch of parts, and would like to remove the pattern but still have all the parts left in their places, can I do that somehow? The reason I'm asking is that now that pattern is populated by the same part, but I want to make it into a family table part with features that vary depending on location. If I do a Replace on some part they all change. I do understand that I can convert the pattern into a Table pattern and swap the instances there, but that does not save much work in this case, so I would prefer to just "de-pattern" the pattern into single parts.

Hi, Can you suggest api to change component in assembly to user defined representation. Thanks in advance.

 

I am studying Mechanical Engineering and downloded mathcad educational.do you have a version of Mathcad that is free for Students?thank you for the informationkind regardsThomas

There is no mirror feature command

There issue that license is already expired when I install Mathcad first time for test 30-days period.

Any chance that a native Mac OS version of CREO View is in the PTC roadmap?
