Hello I have a reference pattern created from geometry present in another part in assembly. Referenced pattern does not get updated automatically, when I update my parent/main feature. What could be the main reason refernce pattern does not get updated automatically when refernce with external geometry. I have also checked the update control is set to automatically . TIA

I have a user how is simply trying to save a shrinkwrap on a simple part, but when he goes to Save As, before he gets anywhere his Creo 10 is freezing and generates an error as follows:The defined Environment file for the model scene is missing and will be replaced with the Creo Default Environment file. You can update the scene by selecting the desired Environment file from the Scene Editor under the View Tab.I can’t seem to find any info on this. He’s not in render mode or anything like that. There is nothing special about what he is doing. Seems like it is now all files, so its “environment related, not a specific part/assy issue.  I tried with the part on my computer and it works as expected.

 Currently Im managing the eBOM and mBOM using PDMLink module withing Part Structure tab (Without MPMLInk module)here is my eBOM and mBOM association examples,ERT-1234 A.1(Engineering) ERT-1234 A.A.1(MFG-Plant-1) ERT-1234 A.A.1(MFG-Plant-2) ERT-1234 A.A.1(MFG-Plant-3) ERT-1234 A.A.1(MFG-Plant-4) Now , I’m planning to move to Windchill MPMLinkplease let me know do we have any PTC recommended Tools or Utility to run all the existing data to MPMLinK Thanks,Vishvanath

My Company recently ungraded to Cero 12 from 8. There are a few changes made to the whole cabling side of Cero. I have been able to work through most of it but now trying to add the terminal information has been tricky/I can’t get it to work.In the past we have added in the terminal table to get all that information and eventually use it when making the drawing in the to-from table. We also have another smaller table with some of the same info for each connector.To make the BOM accurate we make blank parts with the part numbers of terminals, locks, and seals and place them in the assembly so the table is accurate.So far I’ve tried making new terminals which just throws the “name already exists” error and when I try and import them from the old trm files the same thing happens. I would assume this is because there are part files that already exist and not from the trm files.  If anyone has a solution or work around that would be much appreciated.

I am using Creo Schematics Release 12.0 and Datecode12.0.0.0 Hello Sir/Ma'am, I am giving a Demo for Creo Schematics and I came across one doubt. Is it possible to route a wire between a component in one sheet to another component placed in another sheet? If yes do let me know, how can we do it and what are the parameters, we should take care of for doing it? Thank you, Regards, Amrut Dalvi Cadopt Technologies Pvt. Ltd Here are the errors that I faced NA

Hello Creo API team,We are building a Creo Plugin . We already have tessellation data in memory:Vertex coordinates (x, y, z) Triangle connectivity (facet index list) Optional normalsCan we create faceted/mesh geometry in a Creo part from this data programmatically (no UI)?Specifically: Is there a public ProToolkit API to create mesh geometry directly from in-memory vertex + triangle buffers (similar to passing a vertex buffer and index buffer)?If not, what is the recommended approach Environment: Creo 11.x, ProToolkit C++, Windows x64.Thank you.

Hello,   I am looking for a fast way to exclude items inside a pattern or group.  This would be applicable for simplified reps or shrinkwraps.  When you create one of these two, Creo opens a separate window that allows you to pick items to exclude.  However, if there is a pattern or group you have to expand all the way down to the part level and shift+select all the parts to exclude them.  This is the case even in the model tree when the rep is active.  Is there an easier way to exclude all parts under an assembly or group?   Thanks all, MattThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I have two calculation sheets: One is L55-529.7255, and the second one is L55-538.6610. I need to import the functions E529 and U1 into the L-55-538.6610.And the values of E529 and U1 are added to E538 and U2. All the functions are defined with matrix notation. But when I apply the command “Include” the function E529 is ok in the sum, but U1, it says “this variable is undefined. Check that the label is set correctly”. But if you escrow down to the last sheet in the file L55-529.7255, you can see that there are no errors and that I am able to sum E529+U1.I tried in the opposite way, importing L-55-538.6610, using “Include” into L55-529.7255 and I have the exact same error. But I cannot find what the problem is with the U1 function when this is imported in L-55-538.6610 and U2 when this is imported into L55-529.7255. I am including the two files. The functions U1 and U2 are defined in the before last page, and all the sums are completed in the last page. The majority of the calculations

I am still using the old Mathcad 11.2, despite the difficulties with the new OSes. I asked to ChatGPT for help, but I did not get any solution. I wrote (see picture) two equations, and I asked to solve for variables p and w symbolically. Afterwards - and only afterwards - however I would like to capture the symbolic solution (in this case of variable w) and turn some symbols into numeric values and make relations with just few variables like w vs. r, so to obtain a function like w(r):= etc., that  I can plot it.As can be seen from the screenshot, however, MC11.2 appears unable to assign some variables the specified values. ChatGPT suggested defining a new variable and then “optimizing” it, which I tried using wR(r):= ..., but that approach did not work either.Of course, one could simply copy and paste the solution returned by find; however, I am curious to know whether there is a way to achieve the same result avoiding such a manual intervention.Thanks in advance for any suggestions or

I am a fun of Mathcad (the classic version in my case), but far from being an expert. So sometimes I come here, but recently I often use AI chats to query for basic help. I found that ChatGPT and Claude (free plans) are probably the most responsive models in my case. But they tend to not follow always my prompts that I am still using MC11.2 old version. But there are many other AI models around.So I would be curious to know what kind of AI models new and experienced users here prefer - if they use them at all.Thanks.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.9.0 This is not my exact problem but I think might help explain my problem. Imagine I have an assembly of a mechanical based clock. It is an assembly of many assemblies and parts within. Many layers deep. Various parts of the mechanism move and I would like to define several assembly positions. For example....I would like to load the clock assembly showing the position of all the external and internal parts in 12:00 position.....3pm position and say 18:15 position. The BOM stays the same. Can you provide some clues on how I might achieve this? For example, Can I use just simplified reps? Its the many layers deep which I'm struggling with.

Dear folks, I am looking for a video tutorial, workshop, pdf guide for Progressive Die Extension (PDX).Do share if you anything on PDX.

I am using Creo12,is there any way to “save the customized parameters filtered view” so my part, assembly or drawing always open to new filtered view by default ? only need to see our “designated parameters”.afer saving file, filtered view always reverts back to “default setting” - does not save my “new” filtered view. thanks,Rich

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.0.0 Hi, I know it's unsupported but I need to be able to download Creo 7.0 for our business to solve a problem. Can you please share me a link were I can download it? Thanks. BR Robin

Hello Team,-Creo 9 with Windchill.I'm looking to create a mapkey to quickly open a drawing of a room that's already open.I've done a lot of research and i can never find a working solution. please don't redirect me to an alternative solution.I know that a part can have several drawings or be included in other drawings. However, in my case, 90% of the parts created have only one drawing, which has exactly the same name as the part, with .drw instead of .prt.I've created a relationship: DRAWING = PART_ID+ ".DRW".I now have a parameter with the right value.Since copy and paste doesn't work in mapkey commands, is there a line of OS script code that you could put in a mapkey to say, open "parametre drawing"?I work in a company that doesn't allow third-party applications to be installed.Thank in advance.

We recently installed a new server.I updated the FlexLM license server to the latest version compatible with Creo 9. I think this was just the latest version.I can no longer use ptcflush to clear out a license that is “stuck” on the server. The error message I get states that it can’t find the server. Specifically, it returns:lmremove: License server machine is down or not responding. (-96,7:11001 “WinSock: Host not found (HOST_NOT_FOUND”)I know the license server is running just fine, it’s supplying me with the arguments for the ptcflush command.I wonder:(1) Is ptcflush attempting to use a port to communicate with the server? A port that is likely not open according to our IT policies? Part of the server replacement was yet another tightening of access (can’t ping, can’t do a lot of things anymore).(2) Is there a character limit on the server argument of the ptcflush command? Our old server name was 12 characters, the new one is 16 characters. You know, for more security…The name of t

I have code that I have written in C using the toolkit on Creo Parametric 12.4.3.0.  It tries to connect to Creo using ProEngineerConnect(), and it works fine if Creo is up.  When Creo is not running it returns a PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND value, which is expected.  If I have the call to ProEngineerConnect in a for-loop my executable dies after the third try when Creo is not running.  Here is the call:iStatus = ProEngineerConnect("",NULL,NULL,"",PRO_B_TRUE,10U,&bRandom,&hSession);This code worked just fine using Creo 10, but is failing under Creo 12.  I am using VS 2022. 

HiIs there a way to create multileader line from 2 sides of a Note?  In my drawing it looks like this 

Is there a way to create multiple leader that comes from both sides of note? I wish to have lines started from both sides or at least from the bottom of the text.   Alternative solutions: I can create a note with leader on the left and attach "empty note" on the right side of the existing one and attach leader to the right side. But there is not a satisfied solution.  

Good morning to everyone, also if I am an old Creo-Pro/Engineer User this is my first approach to the community :-)Every part modeled in the sheet metal environment must be unfoldable in its flat pattern configuration; otherwise, I will model it as a non-unfoldable solid part, since I would not have the features and utilities of a sheet metal part.I opened a ticket a couple of weeks ago, but it seems there are not solutions.How can we scalate this issue to have a solution from PTC ? 

According to the developer guide tkusetoc, this function supports passing a drawing view argument to display annotations only in the target view starting from Creo Parametric 2.0 M060. The official documentation states:From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, you can specify the view in which the annotations for the selected feature and component must be displayed. For the functions ProAnnotationByFeatureShow() and ProAnnotationByComponentShow(), specify the view where the annotations must be displayed. If you pass the input argument view as NULL, the annotations are displayed in all the views.However, during practical development, the function returns error code -9 (PRO_TK_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) whenever a valid non-NULL ProView handle is passed to the view parameter. When passing NULL to the view argument, all annotations are displayed across every drawing view as documented, which works as expected. My business requirement is to show feature annotations exclusively in a single specified draw
