Hello all,Currently using Creo 11 (recent update to).Tried moving radial (& diameter) dimension in Drawing by just grabbing the text but it only changed the length of the leader. When I grab the leader it "rotates" along the arc.I use to be able to grab the text & do both.Is there some setting for Drawing or Config.Pro that needs to change so I can just grab the text & relocate the text where I want rather than the two-step process of change angle of leader then change leader length?Thanks!

Found what looks to me like a bug. The error message is not very helpful and rather an indication that it is actually an unintentional bug.   In Mathcad the convenient prime operator is not available and so we would have to use Can't check if this way would work in Prime as I am limited to Express and that kind of 'programming' is a premium feature not available in Express. In Prime we get the very same error when using a scalar argument and vectorize   Any comments on this?   Prime 4 worksheet attached    

Anyone have any tips for finding the single sided edges of a merged surface which are preventing a Solidify? I have the upper and lower surfaces of a water jacket which ideally are supposed to merge and solidify so I can use it as a cut from the stock cylinder head. The surfaces merge but Solidify isn't available when you select the merged surface. It looks like there are multiple tiny single-sided edges but I can't find a way of identifying them all.

We are running Creo 9.0.5.0. I created drawing formats and templates in 9.0.9.0 and copied them to our other system. In the titleblock I have a surface finish symbol from the text library included with Creo. On my computers, it shows properly like this: On one of my users, the surface finish symbol is a box.  What could be causing the font to be missing on one computer but not the other. We use a network install of Creo, so everyone is pointing to the same installation of Creo on each network. This is what makes it really confusing.

Hi all, Hoping someone can assist with a solution to this problem. I have just redone my department's drawing template and formats in Creo Parametric 10.0.3.0. However, the original templates we used had our logo in the title block of the drawing format, seemingly embedded as a OLE using MS Paint (?). However, during the process of our computers being upgraded to Windows 11, the logo no longer appeared in the title blocks for drawings (in the printed and pdf exports as well). So, during the template/format updates, I added the logos back into the format as a .bmp OLE via the "MS Word" option. This seemed to work, and all users were able to see the logo - in Creo, as well as printed and pdf exported - along with the logo propagating to new sheets on creation. However, the issue was that regardless of the pdf export settings, the logo would always be a very low resolution & have extremely noticeable pixelation around the edges (not shown in Creo representation).&n

I am using Creo Simulate Release N/A and DatecodeN/AI am running a simulation on a two piece aerofoil. The applied pressures are entered via .fnf files generated using Creo Flow Analysis. The aim is to run a baseline configuration and obtain the Fx and Fz loads to give lift and drag. The next step is to vary the angle of the aerofoil flap and compare the values for Fx and Fz to baseline.Unfortunately the assembly will run in baseline configuration and with the flap angle increased by 1 degree, but fails if the flap angle is reduced by 1 degree. This happens at other angles too but I cannot see why.Here are the errors that I facedSingular mapping, solid element: 1345420The design study terminated abnormally.The element with DBID 1345420 has invalid geometry.

Hello,How do I set positive y-axis  in the downward direction in prime? Regards,Sam

Hello users of Mathcad : ), user of Mathcad Prime 10.0Here is a picture of my problem. I am trying for days to solve it, I just don't understand why it won't work. I need it for a homework.So, I’m working with a rectangular channel where the flow area is A = b × hn. The problem is that I don’t know either b or hn, so to make things simpler, I just assumed the cross-section is square – meaning b = hn. That way, I only have one variable to figure out.I then rewrote the whole discharge formula so that everything (A, U, etc.) depends only on hn. All the other values like the slope and the Strickler coefficient are given.Once I find the hn that gives me the correct flow rate Q, I can always scale it afterwards, like double hn to get b and turn it back into a rectangle if needed. The most important thing is that the flow stays the same.So theoretically, this should work fine, but Mathcad won’t solve it, and I’m trying to figure out what’s going wrong.Thanks for any help. 

Find attached a 3D stiffness analysis I have written in MC-15.The analysis includes member local x beta rotations, member end releases and forced displacements.It will analyse up to 1000 members and 500 joints. The 3D graphics can show selected joints/members/properties/loads/supports with accompanying lists for checking purposes. Given the limitations of plotting member end to member end, which can create false members, the plots of members are made using single points along the member. the density of which can be increased or decreased using sliders. This also allows for sectional plans and elevations to be viewed, again with the use of sliders. Note always push the reset button first as the Mathcad for some reason can sometimes already set the sliders away from the default position. Joint equilibrium checks can be performed on any selected joint and the resulting data exported to Excel which can be used for joint calculations.local selected member shear/bending a

Anyone have a suggestion on how to manage a cable/harness in Schematics (by dataset) to a quantity of 1? We have harnesses that are 10 conductor and 12 conductor. We apply a dataset, example 10HRNS1, 10HRNS2, 12HRNS1, 12HRNS2, etc. We need to limit these to be quantity of 1 each so we do not run into errors on the BOM since they are same part number but labeled differently. So my 10HRNS1 can only be quantity 1, 10HRNS2 can only be quantity 1, 12HRNS1 can only be quantity 1 and 12HRNS2 can only be quantity 1. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

How to change the the numerical of Tolerance in Creo elements directs Drafting (Mixed UI) 20.7I have a issue with creating the tolerance. For example. When I type the tolerance 0.027, it only show 0.03 I tried to find the Tolerance setting box and never see it. Please help me to  change this format. Thank you 

Hi all, So we are in the middle of changing our creo 4 to creo 11.0.2.0. I used Creo 4 for years on this machine, never had any issues with licensing (as the way it should be since it is a locked license for a certain MAC address). The machine in question is a workstation laptop, so it has multiple MAC addresses (one for LAN, one for wi-fi 2.4Ghz, one for wi-fi 5Ghz. Creo4 used the lan's MAC address). Now, as Creo 11 comes in the picture I face multiple issues:- at the installation, it sees a different MAC address , so I moved the license to that address, so it allows me to complete the installation- if I change from 2.4Ghz network to 5Ghz one, creo11 won't start ("Invalid host name")- if I change from wifi network to lan, creo11 won't start ("Invalid host name")- after installation, it only works with active internet connectivity- even if creo11 starts, "license is lost" message appears every 3 minutes or so, if I click on retry, I can continue to work, "Regained floating li

[Creo 8] So i have a flexed board and everything works great.  If I deleted a component,  how do i get it back? the  baseline .idx is all i have.  the validate tool still shows it and wont bring it back in.  I've watched the east coast demo and it didn't cover that.  No real training on the PTC UNIVERSITY on this.  

Hello PTC Community, Is there a way to insert borders around text or math blocks?

I often have the situation where I need the same settings for a hole (diameter, counterbore) and use them for another hole in the same part. I have seen that in creo there is the option to copy and paste construction elements such as holes, profiles etc., so is there maybe an option to copy and paste the settings for a hole that I already used, or do you have to set up diameter, depth, counterbore etc. each time that you are creating a new hole?

Hello All, I have been using Creo 10 for about a year now with a SpaceMouse Enterprise.  Recently, when I have an assembly open (doesn't happen in individual part files), I get the regular red "diamond" that shows me the spin center when moving the model with the SM, but I also get an additional red "dot" now that I have not seen before.  Additionally, when I let go of the SM to stop moving the model, it then shifts in a random direction, sometimes up to 1/5 of the screen, away from where I moved it to....   I think that second red dot is linked to the weird shift as I had not had the shifting issue before this dot appeared.  How do I make it go away? Updates:  - The red dot only appears when rotating with SM.  When rotating with MMB, I get no red dot, but the model shift is still there.  It is actually more severe when using MMB, causing the model to shift out of frame.- Closing the model, and re-opening seems to have "f

I am trying to use the fill pattern feature in Creo Parametric 8.0. I am simply trying to create some small 3.0mm holes for vents for an electrical cover box. I have performed the following steps:I have created a rectangular sketch (used for the Fill Region/Grid) created a hole using the extrude feature that is positioned on the same surface within the bounding boxI have tried constraining to the center of rectangular sketch in "bullet point 1", but this doesn't make any difference in my end result I get a preview showing the features that will get patterned I click "OK" and the features are created very far out of the bounding box I created in "bullet point 1"I have tried creating the sketch within the pattern feature as well, with no luck  Every time I try this, using other shapes (hexagon's, squares, etc) as the feature shape, I never get the pattern actually made within the boundary box that Creo Parametric allows you to define. Any idea what is happen

I want to make an extrude to remove material for a relatively simple assembly. However, I found that the extrude doesn't work for smaller distance say 3 inches or to the reference plane I made a little bit from the end of the track. The extrude doesn't work when I say through all or to the plane further down around the bend of the track.
