CAD

After inserting a numeric value from another mathcad document and highlighting it with the cursor, the inserted number is highlighted with green brackets. What does this highlighting mean and what does this option allow you to do?

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0I need to convert legacy Mathcad .xmcd files to Mathcad Prime .mcdx format, but the XMCD, MCD Converter button on the Input/Output tab is grayed out and unavailable.Here are the errors that I facednone; see above

In the drawing driving model we have a manual user entry parameter called "Drawn" which is used in the drawing title bock. Per ASME standard this needs to stay as the original (rev -) creator no matter what rev the drawing is changing to in the future.   We tried using part relation to drive the parameter:  drawn=ptc_wm_created_byThis parameter updates every time to the person who created the new revision of the model, hence the title block name changes.    Is there something we can automate that doesn't change like:  drawn=ptc_wm_created_by:revision-    Thank you in advance.

Hi,In the assembly I renamed one part and saved the part and the assembly. Later I converted that assembly into 3d pdf format.  When my client opened the 3d pdf file, and found that old part number only appears in the 3d pdf model tree.  This is getting solved by saving the assembly and closing all the parts & assemblies and session. After that I have to do Erase not displayed to remove all the temp file. Then I opened the creo assembly and converted to 3d pdf. Now it is working fine.

Welcome to Blog Post #21 in Our Multibody Series!   In today’s post, we’re diving into a powerful new capability introduced in Creo 11—the ability to reference an existing point/coordinate system based pattern in a geometry pattern of type "point" pattern. This enhancement can significantly streamline your workflow, especially when working with complex body patterns. To get started, check out the What’s New video linked below. The first section highlights the benefits of the new “From Pattern” option in point patterns, which helps accelerate regeneration using the “Identical” or “Flexible” regeneration modes. Around the 50-second mark, the video also demonstrates some useful body patterning techniques.   (view in My Videos)   While the video covers the basics, here are a few key tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this feature: Patterning Bodies with Coordinate SystemsUse a pattern of coordinate systems

Requesting EMX team to separate "Return pin" from ejector pin category.  The issue is during cleaning up ejector pins using command " delete all ejector pins" , this return pins will also get deleted and need to reassign all the references related to it. kindly check.

但是现在使用的版本号为Croe 12.4.0，映射键F2，为显示/隐藏轴，当映射键F2在组件时可以正常使用;在零件的时候F2就无法使用了，零件状态的时候按F2无任何反应（如果不使用映射键，在快捷键中设置F2也是可以正常使用的）

Hi everyone,A customer of mine recently encountered a question while using Mathcad Prime. They created a 2D plot using the Insert Chart function (as shown in the image below), but couldn't find a way to display the grid lines (both x and y) in the chart.I’m not very familiar with the plotting settings in Mathcad Prime, so I’d appreciate any help. Is there a setting or option to enable axis grid lines in a chart?Thanks in advance for your support!Best regards,Lan

The Creo Parametric CAD application currently supports drag-and-drop functionality for opening design files directly within the session view area. However, as part of a customization initiative using Creo Toolkit, I am seeking the ability to intercept these drag and drop events when a file is dragged into the Creo Parametric session. At present, there appears to be no API available within the Creo Toolkit that facilitates the interception or handling of these specific events. Upon reaching out to PTC support, I was directed to knowledge article CS230497, which confirms that capturing drag and drop events through the Creo Toolkit is currently not supported. The support team recommended submitting this as a product enhancement idea. Therefore, I’m formally requesting the addition of APIs to the Creo Toolkit that would enable developers to capture and respond to drag-and-drop events within Creo Parametric. I invite fellow community members to vote for this proposal to help

  can somebody tell me why this is saying units are not compatible, it works when I take it out and do it by itself??Thank you

Hello, I'm having troubles using this two funcitons. Effect I'm expecting using this two functions one after each other. I see the same thing without changes by getting actual transformation and applying it to the model. Now let's see what's actually happens let model = pfcGetCurrentSession().GetCurrentModel() let transform = model.GetCurrentViewTransform() model.SetCurrentViewTransform(transform)This code retrieves transformation from opened model and i expect this transformation to be correct because I do actually see it in model and there is no errors in it. But: Uncaught Error: pfcExceptions::XToolkitBadInputs in ProViewMatrixSet at <anonymous>:3:7Is there any extra step needed to repair transformation gained directly from model?

Good morning everyone!How do you explain the out-of-memory status in this case (see photo) when Task Manager shows that only about 9 GB of 32 GB are used? Thank you to everyone who can answer this.  

Hello, After subtracting two vectors, how do i set the element value to zero if it is negative? P9 sheet is attached.  Thanks,Sam

I create parametric bitmaps that depend on the values of the calculated variables using the READ_BLUE function.How to insert a numeric value into such a picture as a bitmap that changes depending on the calculated variables?

Hi guys.   I have a quick question about simplified reps in drawings. I know you can change the simplified representation for new views in the drawing models sidebar, but I need to know if there is a way to change the representation for already created views. I have a part that was drawn as the master rep, but for a long list of reasons, that iteration of the part is now a simplified representation. Is there a way to keep the drawing the same? In other words, can I change all those views from the master rep, to a simplified rep without deleting and redrawing them all?   Best Regards, Alex

Creo Parametric 8.0 I use OTK JAVA replace session model not find the API..so ...................I want  Model.EraseWithDependencies then session openFilebut ....................some model its success ,some model fail throw XToolkitInUse everyone................you Know how to do replace session model? (physical has new verison but session model is old version)why the Model.EraseWithDependencies throw XToolkitInUse? 

I get really confused about this, it should be as simple to put the font to the load point of the font folder? The one where config.pro points with the pro_font_dir? I have it all set upmagyar_iso30985font.ndxhu_latin_1.fnthu_ascii.fntThe ndx contains the fnt names:hu_ascii.fnthu_latin_1.fntThe font is loaded, but where the hungarian (ő for example) char should be shown, there is only squares like this:  The font is proper, and was working before, any ideas?

Whenever I print to PDF, instead of the file name coming out as the drawing name i instead getthe prefix Creo Parametric - (character that looks like a chessboard), then the file name, then four additional digits.This is not just Adobe, but with other pdf print options too.So each time I save I have to delete this extra detail. which is really annoying and time consuming.But if I save as PDF it screws with text and line thickness.  I can't find where it is pulling this additional detail from, or how to stop it. Thanks in advance if you can help!  

Hi everyone,I’m currently exploring Creo’s multi-axis manufacturing capabilities, specifically for impeller machining. I’ve already programmed and machined an impeller using Creo Multi-Axis, but all the strategies—roughing, blade finishing, and hub machining—had to be created manually. (Please see attached picture.)Other CAM software like Mastercam and Siemens NX offer dedicated modules or toolpaths tailored for impellers and other bladed components.So I’d like to ask:Does Creo offer any specialized tools or modules for 5-axis impeller machining?Are there built-in strategies for blade-to-blade finishing, tool tilting and collision avoidance, and roughing in deep/narrow passages?What about hub finishing with smooth transitions?Or is everything expected to be built manually through generic multi-axis features?I’d appreciate input from anyone who has experience machining turbomachinery parts in Creo.Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm using Creo Parametric version 10.0.3.0. I have a couple of questions related to plug-ins:Is the SubD plug-in available for Creo Parametric?Is there any difference between Freestyle and SubD

I can only find one question posed on this and the meaning of the green question mark wasn't provided. Nothing in the online help either. Mathcad also indicates that there are errors in the included document, but there aren't. Wasn't sure if the green ! was related to that. The included/reference document expects to see some values defined before it because the included document does calculations based on the pre-defined values. So in actual use with required variable definitions provided prior to insertion of reference doc, everything should be fine. When you drill down into the reference document, Mathcad acts like it knows nothing about the previously defined variable (which sort of makes sense) and gives me errors (red boxes) on some of the calculations I can't remember, but I thought Mathcad v15 had an "if defined..." function so you could make local definitions if something wasn't already defined. Am I remembering correctly? I haven't seen such a function in Prime (v11)

Hi, How can Mathcad 15 skip steps in a loop with skip stepping dictated within the loop? Here increasing i by two inside the loop only affects the one step not the counter i which jumps back to 7? Any ideas as want to skip one or two loop steps within loop dictated by calculations within the loop.   Cheers Terry

Hello,I have created a small C++/CLI library which make calls to a C# DLL, this library works fine if I call it from any other C++ project, but it does not work if I call it from my Toolkit application (based on Creo Toolkit 10.0.6.0).The application compiles and links fine, but it fails to start from the Auxiliary Applications menu:  Checking that trailfile info, I only can see these lines related to my app not saying any clue about the possible root cause error:  What I'm thinking is that Creo doesn't support Toolkit apps involved with C++/CLI code, but I would like to confirm that, do some of you have experience this? Thanks.       

Profile Milling with Tool Compensation and Ramp Entry or helical for Internal Profile Hello CREO Users,I am working on a milling operation for an internal profile (similar to a valve seat geometry) in Creo Manufacturing. My objective is to machine the internal contour using tool radius compensation (CUTCOM) and to ensure smooth ramp transitions between Z-level passes or using helical folling the profile to avoid marks on the final surface.I have tried the following approaches:The Cut Line strategy allows helical movements and smooth transitions between passes, but it does not support tool radius compensation (CUTCOM). This is a requirement for my process.The Profile Milling strategy does support CUTCOM, but it does not offer ramp or spiral entry between Z-level cuts. As a result, the tool plunges vertically at each level, which causes unwanted marks and steps in the internal diameter of the part.I've tried to explore all the SCAN_TYPE parameters. LEAD_IN and LEAD_OUT approach but

Hi! i've installed creo view express but i can't get it to work, i dont get any error message, it just does not open.
