Hi,Something im not sure if its even possible, looking to have a set of predefined hole patterns to replicate SAE flange tapping details on manifolds.Currently we just use a chart based on ISO6162-1 & ISO6162-2Would be handy to have this a feature where the hole size, drilling depth, & tapping depth, as well as sketch pattern width & length are predefined.  

Using Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 9.0 New to Creo Direct Express and creating first drawings of parts and assemblies. Each time I edit the text on a drawing (title blocks, BOM's etc) a msg is displayed similar to the the one attached.What does this mean? Is there another way I should be editing these items?A second question is when creating the BOM's using the scan, table, draw method, why doesn't the part number populate? Thanks for any feedback

Hello everyone, I’m using Creo 8.0.9 and I need to create a sticker adapted to the surface, but for that I’m using a decal.When the sticker is flat, applying the decal is easy, but when it’s curved, it becomes very difficult.Is there a better method?Or is there any parameter in the planar mode that can be set to automatically adapt to all surfaces?  

Hello, I want to create the  origin  function within a dropdown list (combo box) for an array index operation. Is this possible? I'm using Mathcad version 11

Good evening,I just wanted to download the student version of Creo 10, this also worked at the beginning. But now I have the trail version and not like my classmates the student version. Can I upgrade this in Creo or do I have to download creo again? If so, what do I have to do differently to not download the trail version. With kind regards  

Hi @SweetPeasHub @skunks . Thanks for the explanation in this topic attached. For a guy wire in tension, I have defined a beam element using a series of points just as you have showed but the issue that I am facing is these tiny elements of the beams do not seem to be in contact for some reason and the prestress analysis for wires in tension fails. I had defined a rigid link between all these points that make up the beam. Is there any better / correct approach to constrain these tiny beam elements to stay connected? Please guide.    

Hi everyone, I’m working with the team in charge to move to MBE, and I’ve run into a challenge I hope someone can help with.I’m trying to remove the general linear tolerances that appear on every part (see attachment 1). I experimented with setting the "tol_Display" option to "no", which does remove the general tolerances, but unfortunately, it also hides all the local tolerances on features of size (see attachment 2 and 3).Has anyone found a way to remove just the general linear tolerances while keeping the local ones visible?I’ve attached a reference image to show what I’m working with. Any tips, workarounds, or settings I might have missed would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0Issue occurs using Mathcad Prime v9.0 and printing a file to PDF using either Adobe PDF or Bluebeam PDF.When PDF-ing Mathcad Prime files that use "Areas," which are collapsible containers for portions of the file, the contents of the Area are printed as raster images instead of text. This is problematic for several reasons:1. Rasterized text is not word-searchable or selectable2. File size balloons considerably compared to text3. The PDF takes much longer to print since the text must be converted to raster by the PDF distiller.Is there a workaround or has this issue been addressed in newer releases of Mathcad Prime?

Hi have quite the extensive Hole chart that fills 2 sheets in my Creo 10 Drawing.All was going well until I noticed I lost my Hole Designations that tells me in the hole chart its dimensions.I have had one other person have the same experience.Anyone know how to get them back?

The values of a symmetric function f(x, y) are calculated and entered into a table using the matrix(m, n, f) function. However, taking into account the function's symmetry effectively doubles the computational effort. How can I eliminate this double computational effort while taking the function's symmetry into account?

So our company updated our office products to use the microsoft sensitivity labeling on documents. Now when editing family tables, one must select a label before opening the file. While this is a headache as sometimes the dialog isnt available on the alt+tab menu and must be navigated to from the task manager. The real issue is that sometimes when closing the excel file, Creo does not know it's been closed and nothing be clicked on. Even if I kill the excel process through the task manager, Creo is still waiting and clicking anywhere in the program results in the windows sound that I am clicking an invalid window. Does anyone know any work arounds? It appears that the real issue is you must select a sensitivity label before editing the file.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0I am experiencing an issue when exporting a model from Creo Parametric to STEP format.When I create a model as a single part and then add weld bodies, Creo automatically generates additional bodies and layers during the export. When I reopen the exported STEP file in Creo, the structure of the model appears completely different from the original one created in Creo.Could you please help me understand why this happens and how to correctly export the STEP file without the model structure changing?Thank you in advance for your support.

I tried to download the Mathcad Express version but I dont recieve the email with the installation file. I've checked junk mail and filters and there is nothing there.Thanks,Peter

Hi,I am trying to create my custom ifx library, I have setup all parts, their catalogs and other configuration.I have also created translation file for catalogs names and their helptext.I have used runtime variable creation process to use custom library location. Creo parametric is taking all components and configs from custom location but it is not taking translation file from my custom location. It is using ifx_translation file from default creo installation.Is their any settings/config need to add , please help a=uf anyone knows.

Hello,Recently I am getting a crashing issue when closing out the ECAD/MCAD Collaboration tool. The traceback file states "Exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread xxxxx". The thread number changes every time it crashes. I had another user try on a different machine and got the same result. This seems to have started within the last couple weeks, I have successfully done this process before this period. Thanks in advance for the support,Tanner

Recently was assigned a new laptop at work with a 4K, 120Hz screen. I have now found that whenever I unplug my laptop from the docking station (2 1080p 60Hz monitors), the visualizer in Creo freezes up and is unresponsive. I am still able to use the model tree/configuration ribbon, and opening new windows results works just fine. When reconnecting to the dock, all the windows start working again without issue. I have to assume this is something with my display settings. I have attempted to fix this issue by disabling Integrated Graphics and adjusting screen resolution and refresh rate, with no success. 

Hi folks, My problem is a simple one - calculate the vertical overburden stress in a soil mass.  The simplified equation is just [ unit weight of soil ] * [ depth ].  However, in a layered system with a different unit weight for each layer, the calculation is best formed as the sum of the vertical stress increments. To me that looks like a stepwise function constructed as a series of IF-ELSEIF-ELSE statements as shown in my example below.  It works but there is surely a more clever way. Lets say the bottom of layer 1 is z1 and the stress is p1, and the stress at some mid-depth in layer 2, say z2, is delta_p2, such that the stress at the point in question is p(z2) = p1 + delta_p2.  What is the most efficient way of structing that calculation as a function depth (z) so that it can be scaled to any number of layers.  My best idea so far is an "If" function to evaluate the stress at the bottom of each layer plus the portion of the n-th layer at the t

I have a matrix and would like to obtain the product of rowi+1/rowi How can I do it?

How can we share published MBD part to procurement teams who does not have Creo Parametric

Hi! I have a part with different holes. In my 2D drawing I am using the default hole table from Creo (v8.09). It shows for example M2.5x.45 ISO in the cell but when I look at the hole annotation, it shows M2.5x.45 ISO - H2.7 DRILL ( 2.700 ) THRU So why it doesn't show this in the hole table? I tried to change in the table the definition of the cell to include these information. Then I go back to the part and back again to the drawing and the cell content is back to what it was before. Why is that? Also I have a clearance hole on the part, but in the hole table it shows M2.5x.45 ISO. This is wrong.

I went from one broken PC to another, and I can't get a license on the new PC. I tried the website to obtain a license, and I got "you have reached the maximum number of licenses". I can't open a ticket because I don't have permission for an ID. What an absolute runaround. I will never recommend this product to my employer. Please fix this or give me my money back. I have wasted the last 3 hours.Charliecroy1@UAgrantham.eduMathcad Prime 11 Student EditionOne-time LicenseelectronicYour product key:

Hello,😁I am trying to implement Creo Schematics and Parametric for my university's Formula SAE team.Unfortunately I have issue loading the made .csv files back into Schematics.Initially the Datatable csv was fine but now with the Membermap updated, it no longer uploads into Schematics.Under the impression that the Type declared in the parameter of the wires I initially used was the issue, I tried to adjust the $$$datasettype$$$ value of the Datatable to different forms, referencing other wire types but this was not the issue still.I've attached the two Excel files I've put together to this message In hopes someone might understand where issues are arising. As well, here is a link to my original post in case that might be beneficial. I will be working on putting together a datatable set for the connectors (Mostly Deutsch) as to ensure that Creo will be set up far enough that auto-routing is possible even I don't manage to implement it for our Vehicle's CAD, this final semester of

Clicking setup.exe during Creo installation produces no response. How can I solve this?

As autocad. I have many 2D drawings, each drawing is a .DWR file. Is there any tool in the Drawing interface of Creo 12 to quickly combine many drawings into one DWR file? Thanks
