CAD

I am attempting to install Mathcad 14.0 from CD on a new PC but am unable to complete the license setup due to a "(403) Forbidden" error. I suspect this may be related to the age of the software version. Does anyone know how to solve this?

So a few days ago i made a post of my graphs not working. Back then i asked 3 teachers to look at it but they all couldn't solve it. Luckly the ptc community could.But now i need to present the solution and i want to add fancy things so it looks more complex then it is.For example first check of something is a range but somehow my second value wont work for it.Any other idea's to make it look more complicated? 

Hello everyone, I'm building some mapkeys to create some basic functionality that PTC forgot to add in the past 10 years. To do this I'm using the "find tool", which works okay-ish. You can't use the saved query mode though, because sometimes it takes too long to load the query and then it's already finished doing all the mapkey commands, so you have the build the query every single time in the mapkey.... But I'm getting sidetracked. Right now I'm building a mapkey that hides all fasteners in the model. So I use the find tool to look for all fasteners and then hide them. However after running the mapkey, my whole model tree is expanded to the level where every single fastener is.I have tried changing auto_locate_in_tree to every possible option but that only works for items you select by clicking on them.I don't want to use collapse all, because if I was already deep in the tree when running the mapkey, I'd have to dig again. Any ideas on how to do this?

Maybe I am the weird but I would like to be able to format results using commas to make the "thousands" and "millions" clear.I realize that one can use engineering notation with powers of 10^3, 10^6, etc. but it would be nice to be able to have "3,000.00" or "42,000,500"One has always had that available in Excel (or its long departed competitors... Anyone remember Visicalc or SuperCalc?)--Doug

I am using Creo Parametric 11.0.6.0. In AutoCAD, there is a feature called compare with which we could compare the drawings and find out the changes that are made.  In the above image, the holes are changed from Dia 10 to Dia 8. On using the compare tool, the affected regions highlighted with cloud like marking. Is there an equivalent feature in Creo that does the same function as above?

We are using Creo View 10.1.0.0.  I am trying to learn how the two compare tools work (geometry and view state).  I cannot determine how Creo view decides where to place the Compare Report [annotation set].  Sometimes it puts it in the first picked iteration, sometimes it puts it in the second picked iteration.  I saw a video where someone actually had the iterations shown in the primary panel, next to the part file name.  Unfortunately, ours does not show this info.  Is there a way to show it? I was thinking if I knew which was which, I might be able to determine where the report gets saved.

I am creating hole table from points and customized the table according to requirements i,e added some rows but after putting table on drawing when it is need to update by clicking "UPDATE TABLES" it failing all added rows are failed not showing properly .Kindly help to resolve this issue or how can we customized the hole table according to our requirements.Please see attached snaps for reference.

Hello,I'm trying to make an "If" statement on Mathcad 15 that is able to pull a value for Alpha based on the Exposure Category assigned (B, C or D). I did this on Mathcad Prime (see snip) but having problems replicating it on Mathcad 15. I defined exposure earlier as " E = "B", but when i try to type the if statement it says "Cannot understand this syntax". Any help is appreciated, Thanks! 

Hey!So for my industrial desing  class i have to calculate the force on a crankshaft.I made the formula's but i cant seem to get my graph. I think my Phi is not a vector but i dont know how to fix it.  I tried using another word for it  and other things but nothing works. any idea's? thansk a lotI use mathcad 11

Hi All,We are using Creo Parametric 11.0.5.0As part of our migration from Creo Weblink to CreoJS, we are using the following Weblink code to display messages in the Creo Message Log: Existing Weblink Code:function printMsg(msg){var texts = pfcCreate("stringseq");texts.Append(msg + "\n");try {var glob = pfcCreate("MpfcSession");glob.GetCurrentSessionWithCompatibility(2);g_session = glob.GetCurrentSession();g_session.UIDisplayMessage("usermsg.txt", "USER %0s", texts);} catch (e) {}}In Creo Weblink, we used below code for pfcCreate but for CreoJS this is not needed:function pfcCreate (className){if (pfcIsWindows())    return new ActiveXObject ("pfc."+className);  else if (pfcIsChrome())     return pfcCefCreate (className);  else if (pfcIsMozilla())  {    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");    ret = Components.classes ["@ptc.com/pfc/" + className + ";1"].createInstance();    ret

Hello guys, I am facing an issue with the ProUIDialogCreate API returning PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR when a dialog creation DLL is invoked from another DLL. When the same DLL is executed independently, ProUIDialogCreate returns PRO_TK_NO_ERROR and the dialog is created successfully. Note: The ProUIDialogCreate call is implemented inside the user_initialize() function.if anyone knows the solution, pls let me know.regardsAraivnd

I In .drawing the way to bring an image is clean and nice resolution. WHY in .format, it has different setting for Layout? No Images option! What is the best way to bring image in format the same way as in drawing?  Thanks in advance! ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO FIND IN CREO!

Hi,I am working on a large assembly file which contains a sub assembly that is modelled with flexible dimensions. The screen shot of the assembly is as shown below: I have made use, of 2 instances of above assembly as a sub assembly in top level assembly and shown them in different configurations as shown below. This was done by modifying the flexible dimensions shown above: Now the questions are:Q1:Is there a better method to manage large assemblies such as this? because every single time the file regenerates, it takes a lot of time.Q2:Instead of using flexible dimensions, the other alternative is to make use of mechanisms (which i think is the ideal case) but when the sub assembly is modelled using mechanisms, it becomes difficult to control the varying dimensions (angles and distance) for each instance separately. How do we control this separately?For example:Set and lock, Angle-1 to 60° in Instance-1 and 30° in Instance-2 Thanks! 

I need to hire a consultant to help set up a spreadsheet to  parse and analyze arrays of data. Any  ideas who  is out there?

I activated a 30-day trial on an older computer, but almost immediately, problems with my computer (not related to the download) forced me to re-install Windows 11, which was a major project over the next three weeks in order to get the computer back running smoothly. Needless to say, my trial period ran out. I contacted the chat bot online and it told me to reinstall Mathcad 11 Prime, which I did, but when requesting a 30-day trial license, the program ran my email address and said I had exhausted my number of trial requests. I am wondering if I can please re-try the software for 30 days, since my computer is running well now? I have plans to buy the software sometime in the future but am not able to at present.

I'm very new at compound surfaces. I'm using Creo 9 and I'm trying to create a surface from a sequence of curves shown in the first few pictures. In the past I've been successful with using boundary blend to get a basic surface that I need.  However this case is more complicated than normal in that not only do I have 2 directions of curves I also have an outline it needs to extrapolate to.   The next picture is a successful boundary blend in one direction (it fails when I try to add in the secondary direction curves) but as you can see it spills out over the perimeter in some locations and doesn't fill in the perimeter in others.  To be honest I'm not really sure how to add in the perimeter curve as a constraint. This next picture is the closest I've gotten to a fully filled in outline by selecting the curves in the other direction from the picture above and adding in a selection of the perimeter.  The result as you can see is not desirable as th

Hello, I have partial 3D scan (.stl) of impeller that needs to be converted to CAD model. I cut the model horizontally by stacking planes on top of eachother so I got intersection lines. I did the same with vertical planes, all going through axis Z (axis of rotation). I did that in different program and imported the resulting curves to Creo (.stp). I wonder what would be most efficient way to fill the surfaces. Problems I have are: lines are not as one, but instead there are many of them which is a problem for boundary blend. Of course I would have to firstly fill the missing lines where 3D scan is missing. Anybody has experience with this: either via .stl or .stp imported to creo10?  Thank you for suggestions!

I have a hard time substituting some components in an assembly with a simplified representation using interchange assemblies. It just keeps saying "Substitution failed because no replacement items were found."  What am I doing wrong?Here is what I try to achieve:On our machines we have a certain lightning set, including a license plate light. I created an interchange assembly, with the detailed license plate light, and a simplified version of it. That is defined as a simplify in that interchange assmbly.But as a try to substitute this component with it simplified version, it says that no replacement items were found:   All assemblies are in session and regenerated. I have succeeded with this before, but now it seems impossible. Do I miss something? Why is the interchange assembly not recognized? Is Reference Pairing needed? Do we have some company settings that prohibit this? I can't get it... Attached the interchange assemby as a reference. Using Cre

Dear PTC Mathcad Community,I am working in Mathcad Prime on a nonlinear moment–curvature analysis of a reinforced concrete section according to Ukrainian concrete Code ДСТУ Б В.2.6-156:2010 (Appendix A, second equilibrium form).I implemented a step-by-step algorithm with nested FOR loops, conditional checks, and accumulation of results into a matrix Moment_curvature.Problem descriptionI expect to obtain a matrix with multiple rows (i.e., 10 rows), where each row corresponds to the final iteration of strains (εc1, εc2), which have to iterate until the condition of equation (4.3) N<0 is true, and contains:iteration indexconcrete strains εc1, εc2curvature אsteel stressesbending moment MHowever, Mathcad returns an empty table only, even though:the outer loop is defined as for i ∈ 1..n with n = 20the loop body is executedno errors are reportedI understand that my script is one of the few possible ways to solve the issue; thus, with this regard, my questions arose:How can I use a WHILE lo

So this is slightly linked to Windchill, we got our Extended Position Assemblies working by changing the value of an parameter to identify to Windchill that its got assembly level cuts, now I want to semi-automate it by using an existing parameter which is only present if there are assembly level cuts, are there any system level parameters created when you use assembly cuts that I can point Windchill to look towards?

We are using Creo Parametric 10.9How do industries tackle the issue of Identical parts with the difference being only the surface finish.e.g. : A Car Body with different Colours say Black, White, Yellow and Blue.Each coloured Body need to have different BOM Item but shall derive their geometry from the base model.Is there a way to do this without Family Tables?How can we address it in Windchill?We do not have Creo Options Modeller.
