I created an assembly representing a commercial ball joint, called SKF_GE-4-C. This assembly is composed by a housing mounted by default and a sphere mounted with a "ball" connection type. If I drag components, everything is working fine at this level.Then I used this file as a component for another assembly called SUB, mounted as rigid. If I drag components, everything is working as expected at this level as well.However, when I insert SUB in another assembly called MAIN and try to constrain the hole of the ball with a fixed shaft, everything locks in place. I am not able to move the beam with drag components as I intend to do.Is it possible to get it to move preserving the same (or a similar) structure of assembly? What do you suggest? Using Creo 9.0.9.0. Files in attachment for reference.

I have the excel in that some type are there for e.g. frame size and its W,A etc. is there, I am trying to create this in Mathcad when I type the frame name it will automatically shows the all parameters related to that how this is possible in Mathcad for this I am using lookup function if anyone done this in past or have any suggestion how to achieve this pls comment on this I also attached the sheet and excel file.

Hi Everyone, I have added one column in the model tree that I need to get into the Parameter. Is it possible?   Regards, Aj

Hello, I am adjusting the size of the dimension arrows in the detail options to make them smaller since we have many drawings where they are packed full of dimensions. I found the options to adjust the arrowhead height and length, but I can't find one to shorten the length of the tail. (see attached picture). Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

I have a case involving a beam structure suspended on ropes.After analysis, I expect to see how the structure is balanced (center of gravity neutral) and deformed.But I don't know how to define the rope correctly.Could someone please help me? Thank you in advance!

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 5.0 (connected) Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.6.0API ProDimensionCreate is not supported(unable to create dimension) for attachment of type PRO_SILH_EDGE in toolkit API, Also How to select PRO_SILH_EDGE in creo Ui using ProSelect API?? As there is no string available to select PRO_SILH_EDGE.

I have a mathcad 14 file made by someone else and I am having difficulty to get it to calculate properly I select 'Calculate now', 'Calculate Spreadsheet' and 'Automatic Calculation' and none of them actually seem to calculate. For a colleague it seems to work and we were unable to find the reason. for example, my colleague gets a plot here perfectly and I get this:  what could be causing this? the file is attached 

Hi,  How do I install the XMCD/MCD converter on PTC Mathcad Prime 10? Is the only way to uninstall and reinstall Mathcad and select the extension? This is on a work computer so is there any other way to install it without doing that? Thanks 

Hi, Is it possible to set the model accuracy of all components in an assembly to "Absolute" at once?I tried creating a mapkey, but it requires opening each part one by one, which is a tedious task. Any tips would be appreciated.

Is it worth to switch to Onshape from Creo.Part, Assembly, Drawing and in terms of all solutions.Please share the beneficial, if possible Thanks!  

We have created combined views in our Creo start parts which are used for MBD purpose. Now we have a requirement to update the previous Creo Models with the Combined views created recently. That is why I would like to know if these combined views can be imported from the models which have the combined views.The other option that we could think of to achieve this is to create a Mapkey. Our current Creo Parametric version is 10.0.6.0. Any suggestions would definitely help.

The MathCAD code generated by Chatgpt is pasting as text instead of Math input, and due to this issue it need to be manually typed in MathCAD. Is there any solution exist for this issue.  

After test installing the latest Creo 9 Platform Services Update Patch and the new PTC Universal Browser Utility as documented here (Creo and WWGM CEF Patch Table | PTC), I notice a new PTC executable running with Creo Parametric when signed in to Windchill, located in the Creo Platform Services load path.  I cannot find any mention of "ptc_uiservice.exe" in the PTC Knowledge Base or the PTC Community.   I have opened a PTC Support Case to add it to CS245546 and CS110511 with further details. Does anyone have any information on this new executable? 

Once upon a time, when a whiteboard was bitten by a radioactive spider and mutated into Mathcad, I wrote several sequence generation functions.   One of these functions was integers(a,b), which, given integers a and b, generated a list of consecutive integers between a and b, inclusive.   Whilst updating my library of such functions to Mathcad Prime 11, I was emboldened by the idea of handling real a and b.  Now, I could have gone the restrictive route and treated non-integer arguments as errors, but I decided to go with the flow and see if I could give some meaning to real inputs.   All went swimmingly in my imagination - just restrict the output of the function to those integers lying between a and b.  Until I thought about it for a few moments and realised that wouldn't work for certain cases - see the bottom of the screenshot below.     Any ideas for how integers should handle such cases to give "meaningful" results?  Or am I

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing fine!I recently calculated soil friction resistance force along subsea pipeline using Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0.However, when I was inserting chart components to visualize the force along subsea pipeline, I got the message "This value must be real." in the chart component.Can someone please help? I attached the full calculation below. 

I've been trying to use the creoson libraries to pass parameters to a model and generate a drawing from javascript ... but the dimensions in model could not be displayed in the generated drawing.. when i try to do the following,dimObj = new creo.DimensionObj(); dimObj.name = "d0"; dimObj.showFlag = true; respdata = await dimObj.list({file:"mydrawing.drw", name:"*"});it returns a blank array when i trydimObj.show({file:"mydrawing.drw", name:"d0", show: true});to show an existing dimension from the model from which i generated the drawing, it reports, the dimension does not exist.. and ofcourse the dimensions are visible in creo when i manually use the "show annotations" toolbar button.. sadly, theres no show annotations interface function in creoson dimension module... any suggestions / help is appreciated

Hi All, I'd like to create a pipe table template to show same info as the table below for any piping assembly.It has to be valid for both bent and straight pipes.How repeat region settings should be set to get this outcome please?Also, is it possible to replace the index_rpt parameter (Item column) with a component parameter 'linenumber' to show the number based on an existing BOM? Many thanks in advance for your help!

What are the practical differences between Always, Read Only, & Only Design Study?I have a weld fixture on a positioner that handles three parts and I'm trying to figure the cg from rotation for the fixture itself, then one for each of the parts. I'm also trying to do this without using a family table so I can have the dimensions all in one view. 

We have a new batch of CNC programmers for our sheet metal parts. They asked me if I could export the DXF of the flat pattern without the drawing border. I guess the experienced programmers have always removed the 4 lines of the border. Is it possible to export a DXF of a drawing without the border? (geometry only)Is it possible to export a DXF of just the drawing view? (possible workaround if the above isn't possible) WF5 M080 Thanks,Jeff <><

Umzug Mathcad 14 auf neuen Computer mit Windows 11. Die Lizensierung gelingt nicht. Die Eingabe in der Tabelle mit Volume ID C: 4030-3E50 oder 40303E50 wird nicht angenommen. Auch die versuchsweise Eingabe der physikalischen Adresse des Computers führt nicht zum Erfolg. Woran liegt das und was ist zu tun?

 Hi Guy. I need the Document to instruct Using of STRUCTURE and FEATURE Tag in Creo elements/direct Modeling 20.7Thanks

Hi 🙂How can I solve this equation f(a,b) = 0 ? Orange plot - f(a,b), grey plot is zero surface, so as you can see orange plot intersects grey plot 4 times, so there should be 4 solutions. Root() works fine, but by this method I have to change manually  guess/initial values. Is it possible to get all solutions together for ex. in a matrix ?  

I've been trying to port a worksheet to Prime 1.0, but have got stuck because, whilst recursion is supported, local recursive function definition is giving me a problem. How does one define local function f to be recursive in the attached worksheet? Does it work in Prime 2.0?Thanks,Stuart

Hello CREO community!We often face the challenge of modeling complex gear pairs and splined shafts in CREO Parametric. We always strive to follow international standards to ensure the design is as accurate as possible for manufacturing. However, detailing the tooth profiles according to the standards in every project is very time-consuming.My question is: Is there any plugin or specialized software that integrates with CREO and generates these gear profiles in a more automated way?Here is an example of a plugin that integrates with SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge, and Inventor. https://www.eassistant.eu/enBest regards,Uilian de Souza
