CAD

It seems a little thing but the ability to complete sketch entitiies and return to the select tool, to complete features, to activate the OK button on most pop up windows, etc. all using the middle mouse button is a massive advantage in efficient workflow and productivity - use Solidworks for a bit and you notice the increased mouse travel.   Completing a sketch though is a significant ommision from the list - you still have to directly pick the pick the green tick.   If the middle mouse button also completed a sketch this would complete the set beautifully!

I have been using Mathcad 14 for many years. After upgrading to a new PC, I tried to reinstall Mathcad 14, but the licensing process failed. The website returned the following message:The remote server returned an error: 403 Forbidden.Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

Trying to transfer license from 1 system to another.. Webpage when trying to get license, etc said i don't have enough permissions / access denied. So i can't manage my own license i payed for.

I frequently disconnect and reconnect to our network when i bring my laptop into conference rooms for meetings. Creo often gets stuck with popups on top of popups (unsaved data warning, license lost, and Windchill server unavailable). I am forced to restart because I cannot select the "retry" option on the license lost dialog as its covered by another popup that can't be moved. Is there a way to get around this?

We are actively moving to SharePoint data storage. Can assembly be organized with Parts in multiple folders / Multiple access users working on different parts of an ASSEMBLY. Assembly Regenerate should update the assembly with latest in SharePoint folders.

I went from Creo Elements 20.4 with Workgroup manager 12 to Creo Elements 20.6.2 with workgroup manager 13.0.2.1In the drawing browser, the name of the drawing used to be the Windchill file name, and now it is the Windchill name.Is it possible to change it to the windchill number or file name?I used to use it in a lisp, for example:display (oli::sd-am-inq-drawing-no)But now I get a different value then I used to.Also I can't find how to get the windchill attributes (like PTC_WM_NUMBER) of the drawing in lisp.I tried lot's of things but I can't find it. 

hello all, i am using the simple repeat region method to create a family table in my assembly drawing.because of this i am using filters such as "&fam.inst.param.name == xxxxx" however, in my assembly, i have the same part file copy pasted 4 times (they make a square within my assy) and each instance of the assy has different instances of that part file. ex:assy-1 has part-A, part-B, part-A, part-Bassy-2 has part-C, part-D, part-C, part-Dassy-3 has part-E, part-F, part-E, part-Fassy-4 has part-G, part-H, part-G, part-H so if you notice, they have basically a top/bottom and side/side of the square for each assy instance.when i use the 2-d family table it comes out correct, looking like the example but in table form, but i want to use the simple table because i want to change the top row names. when i apply the filter like always, because the part file is named the same for all instances possible, i end up getting ALL 16 of the part instances for each compone

My mirror features in my sheet metal is not updating when I move my cutout in the sketcher. I noticed that there are plenty of threads mentioning mirrors not working, but what is the solution? is there a config file line that I am missing?

I have installed Creo 12 successfully on 2 machines but on one of the machines I get the errors below and the browser fails to work. Presumably the errors below is because the browser is not working.   Things I have tried already: Removed all config / UI files (Vanilla install) Reinstalled using an install script that worked on the same hardware Deleted the Creo Agent and Platform folders and replaced with folders from a known working install Performed a Windows Control Panel > Apps >PTC Creo 12 Platform Services > Modify > Repair I have Creo 9.0.9.0, Creo 12.4.0.0 and Creo 12.4.2.0 installed. Creo 12.4.2 works fine as far as I can tell other than the internal browser not working, but I do need it to be working.   Any other suggestions? This happened one other time and I had to reimage which I am really trying to avoid.  

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask whether it is possible to hide the display of the z-expression/z-axis in a 3D plot? I have attached a picture and marked the area in green to show what exactly I want to hide. Thanks for your thoughts!Uwe

Hello, how can I make the flexible parts used in snapshots appear in the drawings, for example, the different states of a spring depending on the positions of a mechanism? Thank you

I am using Creo SimulateNot able to retrieve Creo simulate files. Facing error. How can I resolve that ?

Given how little versions changed, it has frustrated us all that we cannot save in older versions.  I suspect this is largely a marketing ploy to force upgrades and new purchases. And, probably controlled by a simple version check.  So after a little thinking, digging and experimenting, I have been able to open 5.0 files in 4.0.  I haven't played with it much and I'm sure it's limited - but it might help someone someday.    With the new version file a.) Change the extension to .zip b.) Unzip to a folder c.) Delete app.xml in docProps folder   With the older version i.) Save any file ii.) Change the extension to .zip iii.) Unzip to a folder iv.) Copy the app.xlm in the docProps folder v.) Paste this 'old' app.xlm into the folder where you deleted the last one.  You should just be able to re-use this file anytime you want to do this.   Go back to the 'new' version folder: Re-Zip all folders and files that had been unzipped. Change extension from .z

how can i run utility system window basically command prompt in creo 12 with mapkey its not happening with this latest version

Topic reference from hereSame problem here. I purchased a license for Mathcad 11 Prime Student Edition, upgraded my account, but the download page says that I am not entitled to download software. As I purchased a license, I request immediate access to download. With the license came an activation code, but without the software I am unable to activate. 

Hi there, I just bought the student license for Mathcad Prime but when i go to the installation pag,e there comes up a problem like i dont have any available product. I put in the activation code from the mail I got from PTC/Clevebridge but nothing happens. Any Ideas ? Thanks,

Hi, I am trying to select multiple references (2 a surface and an edge of a part) when creating a datum plane. For some reason holding CTRL while selecting them doesn't work. I can select one or the either and it turns green but when I hold ctrl the surface turns orange for a sec but doesn't select. Could this be because I am using VMware Fusion on my Mac laptop. Is there a work around that I can do? I need to have two references to add a rotational offset for this plane. please help.  Thanks

Hi EveryoneI am using two separate detail files for two different config options:drawing_setup_file format_setup_fileWhen I create a new drawing, I get the following error in the Message Log:Error(s) in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 11.0\custom\ISO-prt-asm.dtl. See datafile.ers.  In datafile_error.txt, the error is:ERROR - C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 11.0\custom\ISO-prt-asm.dtl, line 2: Invalid value 'CALCULATED' for keyword 'text_height'.Note:Both detail files contain the same config option text_height.In ISO-prt-asm.dtl (used as drawing_setup_file), the entry is:text_height CALCULATED (Causing an error)In ISO-frm-prt-asm.dtl (used as format_setup_file), the entry is:text_height 3.5 (Not causing an error) OBSERVATION:If I changed the value of "text_height" from 3.5 to "CALCULATED", ISO-frm-prt-asm.dtl file is also making an same error I mentioned above. Software: Creo Parametric 11 Can Someone help me on this? Thanks.

Hi, Is it possible to reset variables? For example, if I want to have one file with multiple different calculations inclduing a variable for diameter, is it possible to have a line break or something, so that any variables above it are not used? Therefore variable for diameter needs to be redefined again.  I know that just re-using the same variable redefines it, and that I could use D, D_1, D_2 and so on, but I do not find these acceptable solutions as it increases potential for calculating errors. And sorry for asking this, I know this must be a common question, but I don't seem to be finding the old ones.  

Please provide me acces for educational purpose. Thank you.

I am trying to find a Variable in a "F"+subscript(tl) format. Find only searches for "F" alone, but that finds F with any subscript or tl but that finds any variable with tl subscript. How do I find my "F"+subscript(tl)s? p.s. This forum wont even let me format the subscript ...  p.s. If PTC decided to wage war upon subscripts, why did they not superscript them in the convertor???

Hi - I have an old version 14 of math cad and I would like an license file for this. It is an upgrade from version 12Can you help me. Thanks Erik
