I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.3.0I was able to use the Transform feature under Component Operations for one component of my assembly. Now I want to use Transform again on the same assembly but I can no longer find it in the Component Operations' menu

Hi everyone,I'm looking for a way to rapidly create scribe lines on a part. I have a wall with multiple parts welded on it. I want to be able to add to the drawing engraved line (in a layer with a different color) of the perimeter of the welded parts, to ease installation. That drawing will be exported to DXF, so that the manufacturer can work from it.I'm on Creo 8.  So far, the best way I found was:1. Activate the wall in the assembly.2. Create a shrinkwrap feature and select the mating faces.3. Place that shrinkwrap feature in its own layer.4. Create drawing and modify layer to what's needed. The problem with this method is that I have to select all the surfaces individually. In the example below, there's only a few surfaces, but in my case the walls have a lot more parts welded onto them. If anyone has a better idea on how to do this, please let me know.Thank you.  

We explored how to show wire details in a Wire Harness assembly by using the "Model Intent" option to designate wires and created standard Spool with WT Parts. By doing so, we were able to see wire details in the Harness assembly structure.We want to show each wire’s length as a quantity attribute in the structure. The wire length appears in the model tree column, but we need to get the same value in the WT Part structure. How can we retrieve this value for the WT Part?

Hello Community,I’m back after some time away from MathCAD due to other types of projects. This time, I need your expertise to help me resolve the following:I have several 3D zones defined by two opposite diagonal points, as shown in the figure below. I have prepared the zones as an m × 6 matrix, where each row is [x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2]. Row 0 → Zone 1, Row 1 → Zone 2, etc.I also prepared a list of points as an N × 3 matrix. Let PTS be N × 3 with columns [x y z]:My inVolume formula is producing the correct Boolean answer (1 or 0) depending on whether a point lies inside the volume or not. However, my matrix implementation is not producing the expected result. I would like also to work with units of length.    Attached is the MathCAD Prime 7 worksheet. You can reply in either MathCAD Prime 7 or 11.

Currently using Creo Schematics 12, trying to perfect the CID-to-WID process. One issue that I have noticed is that if a dataset it applied to a circuit, in the circuit interface diagram, then that dataset does not get transferred to the wiring diagram. For example, if create a circuit in the CID, and assign a dataset to this circuit (20 AWG, BLACK, TXL), when I place the corresponding wire in the WID, I would expect the wire to be 20AWG, BLACK, TXL.However, this is not the case.  All datasets have to be reassigned to each wire. Am I overlooking a parameter, or anything?  Is this working as intended? If it's working as intended, why can't the circuit dataset be applied to each corresponding wire?  Otherwise you're duplicating efforts, thus creating more work than necessary.

Hello, I'm having a problem with the dimension background. I want the hatch background to cover the hatch. Unfortunately, this can't be set, and the hatching under the dimension is still visible. I'm working in Creo 10.

I've been exploring various research papers and online resources regarding four-bar mechanisms, and I noticed that most of them include complex and advanced equations for motion and force analysis. However, my goal at this stage is to perform a basic four-bar linkage position analysis using Mathcad Prime 10. I'm dont often work  with mechanisms in Mathcad Prime, and I’d appreciate any help or references that can guide me in building a worksheet from scratch.If anyone can point me to beginner-friendly materials, share a worksheet, or walk me through the step-by-step setup, it would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance for your support! 

Hi experts,I experienced the following behaviour.I set up an assembly with AFX standard parts (Bosch, Item or comparable), no customizations going on. Adding connectors leads to additional material cuts in the profiles where needed. When I now create automatic drawings from within AFX these holes are not dimensioned at all. When I add a rectangular cut for example, it is fully dimensioned (s. Drawing_Bosch_Profile.png). Another funny thing about this is that when I use steel or alu beams everything gets dimensioned (s. Drawing_Alu_Beam.png). Any ideas what I'm missing here? Tested it with Creo11 and Creo12 so far.

Hello, i've been tryign ot designate created command in PTC Creo JS API and didn't succed at all. Creo API can't find message file. I've been also trying to create absolute path to message file but it didn't work too. Here is my code example:// 1) Get the active Creo session var session = pfcGetCurrentSession(); // 2) Unique id for your command (make it unique per run while testing) var COMMAND_NAME = "MyJsSampleCommand_" + (new Date().getTime()); // 3) Implement the action listener var actionListener = pfcUICommandActionListener.create({ OnCommand: function (commandId) { print("Hello from " + COMMAND_NAME + "!"); }, OnCommandEnable: function (commandId) { return pfcCommandStatus.pfcCommandStatus_Enabled; } }); // 4) Create the UI command var uiCmd = session.UICreateCommand(COMMAND_NAME, actionListener); // 5) Designate it so it can be placed in Screen Customization uiCmd.Designate( "message.txt", // Message file "MyCmdLabel", // Label key from ui_message.txt "My

1. Do transitions work for angle bend in sheet metal design? I can use transitions for roll bend, but I don't have much of an idea about angle bend. Does anybody have a help file regarding this?2. What is the Distinct Areas In sheet metal unbend? Any help file will be appreciated.

Hello All, I have attached P9 mathcad sheet. I am struggling to do four "if" statements. I have  four different exposures A,B,C, and D. I managed to do up to exposure B. I just did exposure "B" and I don't remember how i did it.I am not able to add another "else" statement for exposure C, D.  Thank you!Sam

When I am working I screensnip and paste sources I am using for my calculations on the side of the document for easy reference. If I try to copy them further down the same worksheet or into a different worksheet often the image doesn't paste and instead I get a "Browse for Image' button. THE IMAGE IS BEING COPIED FROM THE SAME WORKSHEET!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? It doesn't always happen, which makes it even more frustrating!! The problem is that the image is a screensnip and may have been taken by someone else using the document or not saved to my computer, so there is no file for which to browse.  I am kind of new to mathcad, so maybe there is something I am doing wrong, but this is a very aggravating problem to have.  Attached is an example of what I am talking about. Some of the images pasted, but not all of them.Also some screensnips.   Any help is appreciated!!

Hello, I defined an electron volt in terms of Joules, and tried to convert Joules to electron volts in prime 11, and got an error saying electron volt was undefined.   What am I doing wrong? I get the same error when I replace the J with the eV in the 2nd to last expression.  This worked in MathCAD 15. Thanks for the help, Paul

How to make the formula vertical alignment?I have some formulas like the picture below, how to make the formula vertical alignment in one vertical line?Now i use "Tab" key in keyboard, but it is not convenient.

In Creo sheet metal, K factor / Y factor are fixed during the material selection. During modeling, when I change the sheet metal thickness, this K factor / Y factor are not changed automatically. This leads to wrong development length calculation. As per the below mentioned PTC article itself it is mentioned as K factor should change according to the thickness. (K factor = δ/T). This fixed value is blocking me the automating the DL drawing preparation https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/sheetmetal/sheetmetaldesign/About_Y_factor_and_K_factor.html

Our Mathcad Community forum has an Ideas section. They don't let me in there for political reasons. Thank God they're still allowed in here.The best idea for Mathad is to take all the good things from SMath.I will post pictures here describing some of the benefits of SMath over Mathad.I ask those who have access to the Ideas section to transfer my drawings there.

I would like to measure the distance between the centre of 2 holes, usually I would select the measure tool and select the surfaces within both holes to get a distance between the centres. I have tried to do this but the measure tool seems to only want to select certain surfaces and selecting the point rather than face. Can anyone help with this please?

Creo AFX parameter and relation modificationsHello, I am working on trying to put in custom parameters and relations within the AFX parts. I figured out how to add parameters that are user defined by modifying the AFX  config start_mdl.cfg file, but the relations are not working. I need relation - driven parameters for multiple parameters when any beam profile for AFX is opened so I want them applied globally. I cannot find the afx_start_model that the start_mdl.cfg in AFX seems to reference for the current relations, and I have tried adding .rel files to reference relations within the start folder and also have tried editing the param_relations folder within the beam profiles without any luck.  I am not sure if it is a file location or syntax error, or if there is something I am missing. I essentially need to populate the AFX start parts for every beam profile with my own parameters and relations. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.&nb

Happy New Year, PTC Community!   After my guest talk Class A  Creo Surfacing on 11/21, the PTC Community Team asked me to come up with the first Creo Community Challenge for 2025!   Freestyle surfacing is impressive if you haven't used it yet consider this challenge.  1 Modeling: using Freestyle  2 Rendering: Creo Render Studio 3 Movement:  Creo Mechanism   The latter 'movement' might be fun for those robotics engineers looking to dress up their robot. On the heels (and continuation) of the gift giving season for many, I am asking you to think about and be inspired by your favorite gifts such as Kidrobot characters, Isaac Asimov I, Robot or from the Foundation Trilogy and Artemis space suits, space robot exoskeletons, pendent or jewelry, Star Wars or Star Trek spaceships, armor, baby elephant or underwater drones. As the first challenge of 2025, lets get as many community members involved as possible!  Deci

This month we have another 3D geometry challenge. We are projecting squares onto cylinders and spheres and measuring the perimeter. Create a worksheet that calculates any of the following:   Challenge 1: Perimeter Calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 50 onto the following: A sphere of diameter 100. A cylinder of diameter 100 and length 100. Clarifications: Note that the square is projected from a plane that is parallel to a plane tangent to the sphere or cylinder. It is projected in a normal direction from the tangent plane as in the accompanying images. For the sphere, the square is centered on the point of tangency for the plane to the sphere. For the cylinder, the square is centered on the middle of the cylinder and the tangent point. If the intention is unclear, please refer to the images or post a comment where the community can help explain the scenario to you.     Challenge 2: Area Calculate the area of the above projected squares. &nbsp
