Hi, I'm looking for compatible versions of Visual Studio to customise Creo Parametric 12.4.2.0. Is it okay to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 (available as latest version) or safer to go for previous versions? Thanks.

Creo 10.0.6 I'm trying to set Detail Option config default_ansi_ord_dim_aligned to no in a drawing but the OK and Apply are greyed out. Tried both in part and drawing with same OK/Apply greyed out result. Drawing and part are checked out. Config ord_dim_standard is set to std_ansi. I can change other config options and OK/Apply are available. Seems like something simple I'm overlooking.

Hi all 🙂 in C9, compared to c4 that I'm used to, dimension witness line has selection priority over everything else.I.E:  auto - added angular dimension is exactly where the sketched line ends, and when trying to select line endpoint, I have to be aware of not selecting the dimension, if i need to drag the geometry. Else, when I try to drag geometry, but with this blue dot selected it drags the dimension and locks it as user modified.This is more than disturbing, as the dimensions at random have this "blue dot" drag point exactly where geometry ends, and i did not found a use case for selecting such witness line instead of dragging the dimension text/ value itself.question is, does config option to erase these dots exist? or to change this priority back to geometry ? so I don't have to mess with selection of the witness lines instead geometry?Thanks, cheers 🙂 

Mathcad Enhancement Proposal (MEP) - Extend the scope of ℤ to include all IEEE 754 consecutive integers, where ℤ is the set of integers.   Mathcad's Is-Element-Of operator x ∈ y determines whether x is an element of y, where y is one of the sets ℂ (complex numbers), ℝ (real numbers), ℚ (rational numbers), or ℤ (integers).  Is-Element-Of works both symbolically and numerically (except ℚ in the latter's case).     When numerically evaluating x for membership in ℤ, x must lie between -231 and +231-1.  However, Mathcad handles numbers as 64-bit IEEE 754 floating-point numbers; thus, the full range of consecutive numerical integers in Mathcad is -253 and +253-1.   The maximum positive floating point real number, realmax,  is 1.7976931348623157×10308.     realmax ∈ ℝ and realmax + realmax×1i ∈ ℂ both return true (1).   Implementing this MEP wou

Hello everybody!My company has just acquired Creo Parametric and it needs to develop add-on extensions to it. From the other hand, we have tons of useful C# code that we we want to reutilize.I just started to design the extension and my plan was to implement a 3-tier architecture consisting from the following layers:- DLL client build with Creo Object Toolkit C++, which may be registered as extension to Parametric.exe- Middleware build with C++/CLI which will allow client/server interop- C# libraries consumedUnfortunately, my trials so far to make server DLL extension dependent on the middleware class brought to the Parametric crashes.I'm absolute newbie to the Parametric programming so I would like to start this first post with some general questions.Do anyone has the experience with the using C# code from Parametric?Is the direction I tried makes sense with Parametric?If yes, what may be the causes for crash? (I will share code files as necessary)If not, what are the advised directio

Mathcad was a pretty good tool. A quick and practical way to do your engineering calculations. That was version 9 way back and still my most used version. After that things didn't change much and together with some minor improvements, some issues came into being as well. I suppose their was no profit in leaving a program that worked just be what it was and so Prime came into being. And what a piece of junk it was. Slow, cumbersome and either lacking important functionality or simply not doing what it should.   Now on version 5 things should have been better. I mean, after eight years enough people should have complained that it didn't work. Right? Yeah. Too much to hope for. It's still slow, UI is still a mess, you can't comfortably input your work quickly and key features that worked fine as far back as Mathcad 9 still fail miserably.   As is the case with many programs, if any of the developer would actually have to use their own program for actual work, they would have kno

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the value of a variable using symbolic operations. Let me explain:I want to find the variable (theta) of a symbolic function within a range of valuesI'm using Mathcad 11

I'm using MathCAD 9.0.0.0. I get this error on my last equation... 

I'm using MathCAD 9.0.0.0. For whatever reason, MathCAD is having a problem with variable units of my final equation in my attached file. 

Hi, This does not help. The download link takes me to the email request form. There is no option to choose the version. I need to install version 10. I have version 11 but I need to share files with  a client that is using version 10.

How can I find the length of the profile when I select?I use this infos the boom list. I would like to add profile lenght.

I'm trying to access the model name and read it in a tree format from Creo ED. Tried a few Lisp APIs I saw in the document; didn't help much as none returned the model name. https://support.ptc.com/help/creo_elements_direct/r20.3.0.0/advanced_documentation/integration_kit/reference/function_index.html Is there any other way to access the data? C# also doesn't seem to have the related API on Part  

I'd like to access, through code/programmatically a *.prt model's Annotations (e.g. Symbols, Datums, Notes, Dimensions). These would be the objects that are, in PTC Creo 10.x, in the model tree -> Design Items > Anotations. Is this possible through the base license of Creo (i.e. in Visual Basic)? The annotation objects seem like they might be accessible through details (drawings), but I cannot find their equivalents in the Model/PRT file. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Hi guys,In Modelling Express for the saving of the files, I have 5 options (like file attacched):- Bundle *.bdl- Package *.pkg- Session *.se2- Environment *.env- Picture *.bmp;*.png;*.tif;*.jpg;*.tiff;*.jpegI'm using *.bdl for saving 3D+2D but there is a method for to save only 3D file and only 2D fileThanks in advanced   

Hello I am working on a custom quick acces toolbar in Creo Elements version 20.1.2.0I am making 1 tab that contains all the functions i need on a regular basis. And one that relocates my most used functions to the foreground. I wanted to create named seperators like the standard menu does. But I can only find the boring old line seperator. Is there any way to give my custom split menu a nice looking format like standard? Or is that something that is reserved for the base program? ▼What i've got so far▼ ▼What I want▼ If anyone knows how to do this. I would love to know it. Its not completely neccesary, but it would be a nice clean look to a layout that may be used as a standard within the company. Thanks in advance!

I'm using MathCAD 9.0.0.0. In my program I have the formula...I have every variable set in my program accept h2 that's in the equation twice. Is there a function to solve for h2? Otherwise, I guess I can rewrite the equation to solve for h2? Thanks,Brent

I attempted to use Mathcad Prime 11 to retrieve a Mathcad Prime 7.00 file I created but I could not. The file extensions appear to differ.  How can I retrieve this file into Version 11 without having to recreate it?  Thanks!

We recorded Andrew McGough (Mathcad Product Management Director)'s one-hour demo and Q&A session about PTC Mathcad Prime 12, set to release in April 2026. Andy discusses: A summary of Mathcad Prime’s newest features, including the recent Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0 maintenance release The current Mathcad Prime roadmap Demos of some of Mathcad Prime 12's upcoming features I also posed over a dozen questions to him asked by Mathcad users, including some from PTC Community!

I'm trying to understand what I can do to make cable harness take up less memory.See screenshots below.  I have about 12 cables made of 16 wires in a relatively simple assembly and the file size for the cable assembly and harness total 430mB (215mB each).  This is so large it takes minutes to save and regenerate.  All of the cable locations referenced to datums in the assembly and not some higher level assembly.  Each cable has maybe 2-3 plane or datum point-based locations based on assembly references.To me this should be taking up 10mB max.  What could it possibly be doing with all this memory?We're on windows 11, creo 8.0.0.0.    

Hi everyone,I'm working in Simulation (Analyses and Studies) within the Structural module in PTC Creo, and I’ve run into an issue: I can’t save result images in high-quality formats like PNG or TIFF.In this section, Creo only lets me save images in lower-quality formats, and I’d like to avoid using screenshots or the snipping tool because the resolution becomes quite poor.Does anyone know if there’s a way to export result images with the same quality as when PNG/TIFF saving is available?Maybe a setting, a workaround, or something I might be missing? I’m also attaching two images to show the issue:The first image is taken in Simulate (before entering Analyses and Studies) and the quality is great.The second image is taken inside Analyses and Studies, and the quality is noticeably lower, which is the problem I’m trying to solve.

I've got some issue using mechanism. I have this little subsystem that's supposed to go up and down to lift up the tray from the conveyor.When I work on this subassembly as we can this the movement is correct and 2 body are highlithed. The static body (in light blue on the first screen) is dirrectly link to the main origin of the subassembly. However when I import this in the main assembly making the subassembly origine fixed in the main assembly, in somehow the subassembly became one single rigid body. As we can see on the second screen there is only 1 body highlighted including the tray and the mooving part.Furthemore when we look at the mechanism tree, on the second screen there is actually a second body but it only includs origins.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.5.0Hello,I use ModelCheck for create parameters in creo prt.Is it possible to specify units?this is the line in MC for my parameter:PRT_PARAMETER DIAMETER REAL EQ 10And I need that the parameter created has mm as units.Because in windchill this parameters is a type: Real with unitsThanks

Another day and another CREO issue 🙂 So, I'm starting to get into detailing parts in CREO 10. Just to clarify - I have used NX and SolidWorks before and never ran into this issue. I wanted to dimension the part attached and use Bolt Circles for the two different holes. I tried using "Show Model Dims" and bring in the axis and dims. Well one feature was created using a circular pattern - and the other was two separate features (I did not create this model). I figured out how to display a circular centerline by changing drafting settings - but when I brought the dimension in it was a Radius. There was no way for me to change this to a Diameter. So, I decided to create my own sketches in the view and decided to just dimension to this directly. I'm sure people will say, "That's not how CREO works - you create in model and then bring in the model features/dims" Sure - but when it doesn't show what you actually want - I want to have other options/features to present the dimension
