Does the wrap command work in assembly mode? Specifically, I'd like to wrap a cosmetic sketch around a part's cylinder of an assembly model. Is this an option? For me, working in Creo 2.0 M250 currently, this seems impossible since while wrap is visible in the model>modifiers overflow tab, it's always greyed out. I can do it in the part file, so will result to that if all else fails.

Hi, I have an unwrapped curve of an oblique cut of a cylinder that I want to make it visible only in one view. The easy answer would be "make that view independent of the drawing layer status". But my situation is more complicated as the configuration of my assembly changes and it depends on the Drawing Program. So by making it independent I will make visible ALL the layers that otherwise should not be visible. Any idea how to resolve this "unresolvable" situation. All ideas are welcomed, not only ones realted to layers display: creating a new view overimposed of the existing one with just the curve on it or anything that could do the job. If you need some pic to see exactly what I mean, please ask. Thank you, Nic.

Cannot get a license for my MC14 which I installed on a new Windows 11 computer.When I run the Mathcad License Setup Wizard and log into my account, I get the ERROR: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.MORE INFO:The old computer hard drive failed so I need to install MC14 on the new computer.This MC14 is an upgrade from MC 13. So, I also installed MC13 first along with the required .NET framework on the new computer. But, MC13 does not run (does not even start).For some reason this "issue" will not go directly to tech support?Regards,Die-hard Old-MC-non-Prime-User

Why does this element by element assignment not work?

Hi,I have created the overloaded CAD BOM in Creo, loaded them into Windchill, auto-associated WTParts with CAD Documents, and thoroughly defined Options and Variants. However, when I generate the Variant from the overloaded BOM in Windchill, it creates a variant assembly, but the top-level CAD variant is not being created and associated with the top-level Variant WTPart automatically. I have learned that an additional license module for Creo is required to generate the top-level variant CAD. Could anyone please advise which license module I should purchase to enable this feature?

Hello,  I am having difficulty applying the solution here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Maximum-Value-from-Tables/td-p/999431 I have set-up a minimum example here with two arrays. When I try to get the maximum, an error is caused by the range variable i, "This value must be an integer".  I am using PTC Prime 9.  Appreciate your help!

Hello, I have a Prime 11 file that I'm using 4 iterations of the INCLUDE Statement to pull data from 4 prime sheets.  The processing is very slow. I'm thinking about using instead four sets of READTEXT commands as I can probably pull the data I need from the 4 prime files into 4 large text files.  Then read the text files back into the Prime sheet in question.  Seems like there would be more time creating the text files with WRITETEXT commands for each sheet.  But processing the 4 big text files into my sheet should be quicker. Anyone has experience with these two alternatives?  I see a number of questions regarding the INCLUDE statement.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.3.0Assembling one part with a pin connection to ground. Assembling a second part with a pin connection to the first part. There are no other connections between the two parts. Using a velocity motor the rotate the first part. When running the analysis, the second part rotates as well. It should stay still since there are no connections or forces / motors on it. Why does the second part rotate?

Hi everybody. I cannot remove the thread lines where you can see the part have an extrude. The lines from the hole are gone if i remove the thread, but the lines from the thread appear again when turned on.  Hope someone can help

Hi everyone,I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.7.0During the replacement of component by an unrelated component, the replace user interface propose to select the corresponding references used in the assembly itself.Does exist a way or a configuration option to detect also the references used in the drawings ?Due to this missing detection, the attaches of the drawing symbols are lost.Gaël

Hi, I'm using a range variable and multiple functions to plot the capacity and demand of a beam system to check for failure.  This works well and as I intend.  The problem arises when I want to find the specific utilization of the member along it's length.  To do this, I wanted to create a vector containing the input lengths instead of a range variable, so that I can perform math on the functions and output a vector.  This way I will have a vector of the members utilization along its length and won't have to manually check separate inputs.  As shown in the image above, the vector "v" works as an input into function "V(v)" but not in the function "Va(v)".  Is this because "Va(v)" is a piecewise function?  Is there a way to evaluate this function using vectors? If there is a trick to getting vectors as inputs to functions, or simply a better way entirely to accomplish the task of creating a single vector with the utilizations as I de

Creo 8:  Well, ain't this peachy.  Got a large assembly in a couple different configurations/Reps (some parts not used in certain Reps), and if you create the dwg view using a Rep, but then change the Rep at the assy level, the BOM will change but the dwg view WILL NOT.  Replacing the Rep for that view, or everything else I tried, DO NOT WORK.  The only thing that worked was DELETING the view, and putting a new General view in it's place. Nice, especially since it's a large assy with a bunch of sheets.  So, my "Pro/WORKAROUND" is to NOT make dwg views until you are 100% sure the Reps won't change.   Must be all that "Enhanced Functionality" PTC keeps crowing about when they waste time giving us confusing new interfaces, but spend zero time fixing bugs...you know, like that "split cylinder" BUG, or the one where threads don't show up in the model except in wireframe viewing mode, or.......   Anyone else run into this issue?

Hi Team,We are planning to migrate the PTC Mathcad & Mathcad Prime license manager from windows server 2016 to windows server 2025 due to out dated support, so we configuring the license manager, so could you please share us the instructions document to complete this license manager configuration on new server 2025.Please check and help on this license migration.Thank you.Regards,Ravindranadh+91-8919537581

HalloIch habe das Problem, dass 8 Bauteile aus meiner Baugruppe (ca. 50 Teile) nicht mehr geöffnet werden können und in der Baugruppe auch nicht mehr angezeigt werden. Es wurden schon Zeichnungen dazu erstellt, die sich jetzt auch nicht mehr öffnen lassen. Die Teile wurden aber seit einem Monat nicht mehr verändert, oder umbenannt, oder auch anders Referenziert. Wie kann ich die wiederherstellen, ohne das ich wieder von Anfang an beginnen muss? Ich benutze Creo 10 und es wurde alles auf einem USB-Stick gespeichert. Ich habe auch schon alles auf einen anderen USB-Stick kopiert, der aber auch den selben Fehler anzeigt.   

Hi everyone, I'm a fairly new user, but I've been getting comfortable with most of the tools: using sketches, datums, and building surfaces. I've been working on a project and I'm stuck on one part that I’d really appreciate some guidance on. I’m trying to model a back surface (see images below) that has a complex 3D curvature. I initially tried using the Intersect tool, but it didn’t give me the full shape I needed; it only creates sketches at the intersection of two surfaces, and this back surface seems to requires at least three reference surfaces or profiles to fully capture the curvature. I’m trying to approach it using 3D sketches and datums to define guide curves and then generate a surface from those. I’d prefer this more parametric and controlled route over something like the Warp tool. But I haven’t found a clean way to do this yet. The curvature is irregular enough that I’m not sure how to lay out the sketches or organize the build sequence.Has anyone tac

Hi AllIn Mathcad 15.0 I could replace the "dot" symbol with the multiplication "x" symbol for multiplication. Is this possible with PTC Mathcad 11.0Please advise Mal

Imported step file of a cable created through the cabling add-in doesn't show up. As in the model of the cable is in the model tree, but doesn't show up in the graphics window. When modifying the original cable by removing locations to simplify the routing and re-exporting to step and importing it, the step file shows up.AP214 is being used. Cable surfaces is selected in export. What breaks the import/export for cables? Can complex geometry or bends break it? 

Why the component (Guide frame) leaves it position while converting .asm to .step to .prt. Purpose is to get all comp in one with no history but right positions. Pl Guide what is making this move.Thanks in advance!

I am using creo object toolkit java to make some secondary developing.Suppose I have get the ComponentPath of a part or component in an assembly model. Which function can I use to hide and unhide the part or check its hidden status. I read the usergudie a thousand times and could not find one. Belows are functions I have tested.com.ptc.pfc.pfcModel.Model.Displaycom.ptc.pfc.pfcSelect.Selection.Displaycom.ptc.wfc.wfcSolid.WSolid.DisplaySolidSadly, none of them help.Does the toolkit provide the function to programmatically hide and unhide part, just like hit the button in this picture?

We are partnering with another shop that has sparse data for converting their dies for machining purposes.  Sometimes we get part models, sometimes dirty geometry die models and sometimes absolutely nothing. In the most recent situation all we have is a scan of the top and bottom dies.  The die impressions themselves don't have any sharp edges, and the radii sometimes wipe out the draft walls.  There would be a combination of revolves, extrudes, lofts and there are locked transitions.  We are tasked with reverse engineering these dies to make parts that size accurately and within a timely matter. I wish that I could share a screenshot of the actual dies but that would be proprietary in nature. I have been told that machining the actual STL is very slow and not very clean. Can you suggest the best way to convert the STL scans into at least sealed, accurate to machine surfaces?  It would be nice to have these parametric, but that would require

How can I create a custom connector, such as a dual-port connector with both LH (Left-Hand) and RH (Right-Hand) variants?I’m trying to build a similar connector but I'm stuck on a few points:How to create a dual-port – When I use a simple port, it only creates a single port and not a dual one. So, I’m wondering if I need to create a dual port first, since it’s not available in the default port options.How to replicate the behavior of the default connector setup – For example, when I select a default connector, a window pops up asking how many ports I want. I want to create a custom connector with the same functionality.I've attached an image below for reference.
