I am creating a 2D illustration from a 3D model in Creo Illustrate 10.1, but I am not satisfied with the result.Most of the lines are smooth and clean, but some appear straight, making curved lines look “jagged”—even though the surfaces are smoothly contoured.To get the desired result, I usually remove all the "jagged" lines manually. Is there any way to prevent this? I have tried various settings for 2D figures, but nothing helps. See the attached image. The red arrows point to the "jagged" lines.

I’ve kinda got a situation here… Consider I have two diffrent teams working in my office. One team is sitting at a different country & the other is sitting at India. Now, both of them are working on a same rocket assembly & the parameters & relations which both the teams are using are different only in terms of names. The result/output of the parameters that are needed are same. Now, if I want to bring them together, where CREO has to identify that 2 differently named parameters are the same & it has to consider a master parameter based upon the 2 named parameters…Is there any way to do this???

Hello all.I need to create a heilcal gear for my project.I’ve tried a few on Youtube but cant get them to work.Does anyone know of a good guide to follow...or even on online generator where i can input my data and download a stp file?I found one online generator but it wont accept my data - out of range.I’m on Creo 11.Thanks

Hi,Does anyone have experience with ‘Leo AI’ in the Creo Parametric-Windchill environment?Thank you

Current Behavior of CreoIn Multi-Body models, Creo regenerates all features following a modified feature in the model tree, regardless of whether these features are actually affected by the change.The regeneration process primarily follows the sequential order of the model tree rather than the actual geometric and parametric dependencies between features.As a result, features that have no direct or indirect relationship to the modified feature are regenerated unnecessarily.This behavior affects both:Features within the same body Features belonging to other independent bodies within the modelProblem / EffortIn large and complex models, this behavior can lead to significant regeneration times, even when only a small local modification is made.A change to a single feature can cause hundreds or even thousands of subsequent features to be recalculated, despite the absence of any actual dependency.This results in:Long waiting times during design work Reduced engineering productivity Slower d

Hello Team,We are trying to install\upgrade Creo View Express 13.0 as offline installer.As per the installation guide, if Microsoft WebView2 Runtime is already installed on the machine, the installer should detect it and proceed without downloading or modifying the existing installation. However, this is not happening.We have, Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime version 148 is already installed on the machine. During Creo View Express 13.0 installation, the installer still attempts to download WebView2 Runtime version 146 from the internet.Since the environment does not have internet access, the installation cannot proceed.We tested both x86 and x64 WebView2 Runtime installations.We also tested installation under system context and administrator context.Test Environment is Windows 11 Virtual machine.Need help on,Is the installer specifically checking for version 146 only, or should newer versions (such as 148) also satisfy the prerequisite?Does the installer require a particular WebView2 c

Hi all.Is there a way in Creo 9 on a drawing to move both witness lines for dimension together?  Sometimes I would like the gap closer or farther away on one specific dimension and I end up moving both independently and just eyeballing to make them about the same side-to-side.The only workaround I’ve found is to add a dummy dimension and use control to select that and my real dimension together then move one witness line and they all 4 move together.  The go back and delete the dummy dimension.I’ve seen the how-to’s on the PTC site and other users descriptions, like selecting the dimension and the drawing view using ctrl but that never works for me!Thanks in advance!Brad

I am using PTC Product View (Formerly Creo View) Release 2027.0 and Datecode2027.0.0 Dear PTC Support Team, I would like to confirm whether Creo View MCAD can directly open and view native CATIA files, including CATPart and CATProduct files. Could you please clarify which CATIA versions and file formats are supported, and whether any additional licenses, adapters, or file conversion steps are required? I would also like to evaluate Creo View MCAD before recommending it to our customers. Could you please provide a download link for the installer, along with a trial or evaluation license and installation instructions? The purpose of this evaluation is to test CATIA compatibility and assess whether the software meets our customers’ requirements. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Hien Le

I have been using CREO MDO for some time to evaluate forces, crank torques etc. It works very well. But what's the best way to dynamic balance a complex mechanism such as a internal combustion engine in MDO?

Hello, I have created a Mathcad sheet where I can find the capacity of a footing on a competent soil. The sheet is working but I would like to optimize at certain areas. My first improvement would be to see if instead of manually putting them as arrays, if it is possible to put in a condensed way so I do not have to type in the layer properties manually in case there are more than 10 or even 100 layers. My Second improvement will be if there is way to have a shortened code where “Footing Layer Ends” does the same output. Currently, it is for four layers but I would like to have it in a way that if there are multiple layers, it will handle the task instead of writing multiple if-else stateemnts. Thank you in advance. My version is 10.0.1.0

Hello everyone,I am running Creo Parametric 11.0.5.0 Education on Windows 11 ARM inside Parallels Desktop 20.4 on an Apple Mac mini M4 Pro with 12 Cores and 24 GB of RAM for the Virtual Machine.After adding the following lines at the beginning of parametric.psfENV=PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64ENV=PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=x86e_win64Creo starts and works correctly in Shaded mode. However, as soon as Shaded with Edges is enabled, severe graphical corruption appears. Hundreds of incorrect black lines are drawn between unrelated vertices. The surfaces themselves are rendered correctly.Interestingly, during the first second while the model is still loading, the edges are displayed correctly. The corruption only appears after the loading process has finished.Changing edge_display_quality from very_high to low only changes the edge quality but does not solve the issue.Larger assemblies also eventually crash with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.Trying the same on an older MacBook Air M1, Creo runs significan

Is it possible to show the hole note as a column in the hole table instead of just the diameter?

Is it possible to trim a radial axis pattern centerline ina drawing? ie: A bolt hole pattern centerline?Solution: Turn view into a partial view and cut off the excess centerline with view spline. So easy I couldn't see it staring me in the face. Thanks to all who replied so quickly. Wayne, I agree this isn't a preferred method, but for these parts which are made in house, it will work.

I'm using Creo Parametric 11.0.4.0. When I do File > Save As > Save a Copy and pick Creo View (*.pvz), the export fails and the message bar says "Creo View recipe file(proepview.pvr) can not be found." Here's what I've tried so far.In the Options dialog I left the three recipe fields blank and I saved the profile to confirm they really were empty.I looked in the config.pro and config.sup in Common Files and didn't see anything about recipes or Creo View. I also couldn't find intf_pv_recipe_dir or intf_out_pvs_recipe_file in the Configuration Editor, even though older posts mention them. When I searched my install, I found proepview.pvr in Common Files\applications\cvadapters\prodview\recipe, and export_pvs.rcp in Common Files\text\prodview. An older post here said they should be in the same folder, so I copied proepview.pvr into text\prodview. I also pointed export_profiles_creoview at that folder, restarted Creo, and tried again, but I still get the same error.Does anyone know w

I am trying to design a 2 stage epicyclic geartrain in Creo. i have assembled the sun, planet and ring gears of the two stages separately. how do I assemble the two stages together? the output from the planet carrier of the first stage would be the input to the sun gear of the second stage through a splined shaft.What constrains should I use and where?Or should i assemble everything in one assembly? Any help would be appreciated.

When I open the installer for my free trial and get to the application selection screen there are no applications to select and I cannot click next. I’ve seen this posted in the past but none of the solutions are working fore me. Any help is appreciated. 

I have an assembly with almost 500 parts in it.  Is there a way to change all the densities at once?  More ideally, I would like to be able to select large groups and change, say ~300 parts to one density, then select another large group (steel), say ~200 parts to change to a different density (aluminum).  I do not want to have to change the density part by part in the model tree showing MP_Density.  I would prefer solution where I can select the large groups, then change all their densities together in a few steps.     Thanks, Will

I own a perpetual Mathcad 14.0 M020 Single User license purchased directly from PTC. The legacy MCLicense.exe utility authenticates to my PTC account, but the activation request fails with HTTP 403 Forbidden before a license.dat is generated. Since license.dat is never created, Mathcad reports that C:\Program Files (x86)\Mathcad 14\licenses\license.dat does not exist. Can someone generate a replacement license.dat or License Pack manually?My old PC crashed so I am unable to locate the old file.

Is there a way to adjust (or slide) the Datum along its extension line on a Creo drawing? I remember you used to be able to do that but it seems that’s no longer the case. Please see attachment.

Hi Creo Community, I am trying to use Creo Trial via PTC and am having issues installing it on my machine (Windows 11), and I would like to see if anyone has had the same issue, and if so, could let me know what fixed it for them. After calling PTC support, they have said they don’t help with Creo Trial issues and that I should ask community.ptc.com for help even if I have a past customer number with PTC.The issue: I am able to download the file “Creo Parametric 13.4.0.0 CloudPlay” (2.5MB) from the Trial page, but when I try to install using this .exe I either get to the Creo Parametric splash screen and it hangs for hours or the splash screen disappears and the .exe file auto-deletes itself from my Windows Explorer “Downloads” folder.I have tried turning off the Windows Defender Firewall and running the .exe file as an administration, but the issues seem mostly the same. If anyone has be able to get through similar issues, please let me know, thank you
