I need copy a spec driven piping assembly that is repeated a dozen times in my design. The only difference is the component PID numbers such as the valve numbers will be different. Is there a way to change or add these numbers after I have copied the piping assembly?

We're using Creo 4.0 which is integrated with TC 11.3. When wer're saving pdf from Creo to TC , PDF gets attached as Colored file. But we want it as monochrome. How to change that?

I have a question about variable definitions in programming. I have a program with two nested while loops. The second (nested) while loop balances forces in a structure. The first while loop updates a variable DeltaT until some additional criteria is met. DeltaT needs to update in the second (nested) while loop for the program to work. However, the updated value of DeltaT from the first loop is not being passed to the second loop. Why is this, and what can I do to fix the problem? Program is on page 8 of attached spreadsheet. Check and Check 3 demonstrate that the variable is not updating in the nested loop.

Title pretty much sums it up. Trying to pull the text from one drafting note and use it elsewhere. Technically in a table cell, but keep it related. Using 9.0.6.0

Every time I attempt to activate my PTC Mathcad Prime 10.0.1.0 I run into the following error in the "Acquire License" tab: "You have reached the maximum number of license requests available for your product type."

Hello everyone,I've been working as a working student with Creo for quite some time now, so I decided to use it for a university project. Therefore, I downloaded the Creo Parametric Student 10.0 version and I'm on the verge of despair because I can't seem to find or insert a drawing template frame.Unfortunately, the download didn't come with any frames or title blocks, and after intensive internet research, I still couldn't find any. I've already gone through all the relevant posts here as well.Can someone help me and provide an A2 or A3 frame for this version? I've already manually created the title block according to ISO standards, but I can't find the exact data for creating the frame with letters, etc.I would be extremely grateful for any help!!!

Hello PTC community,I'm trying to simulate the stress that results at the mounting points when an object is suspended by a crane using only two points. The stress is caused solely by gravity.I tried to simulate this by rigidly constraining the mounting points of the object, but I'm concerned that the simulated stresses will be significantly lower than in reality due to the rigid constraint.The center of gravity (COG) of the object is naturally located directly below the mounting points. Would it be better to ditch the gravitational load and instead apply a calculated force (F = m·g) directly to the bolt holes? If so, how should I constrain the model? Nothing seems to be working for me. I have attached a simplified sketch of the problem. Thanks for your help! 

Hi Support Team, I am using Creo Adaptors 11.0. Based on our use-case I want to convert .PVS file into Readable xml and .xml into .pvs on server using java server side app. could you please guide how to achieve that ? 

Microsoft is depreciating Visual Basic for Applications and is moving to JavaScript based office add-ins.  The office add-ins do not support the COM model.  How can I connect the office add-ins in JavaScript with the MathCAD API?  The office add-ins do not support ActiveXObjects anymore, so the Add-in fails if you try to use: mathcad = new ActiveXObject("MathcadPrime.Application");

Can somebody please fix the error in the sheet attached? Solve block error

I am working with a C++ Toolkit program on Creo 10.0.5.0 that recursively searches through an assembly's parameters. The problem I am facing is when it runs into family table parts. When I attempt to retrieve the component features from a family table instance it only ever returns the components from the generic.So then when the code attempts to recurse on certain parts in the family table generic it fails because those aren't in the instance and therefor not in session. I have confirmed that the assembly I am reading parts from is the instance as GetFullName() returns filename<filename> corresponding with the instance.

Hello, I'm trying to create a pattern of slots where the center of the radius of the slot follows a curve but the spacing is driven by a linear dimension. Using Creo 10. Tried using pattern along a curve but the spacing distance is along the curve not linear. Unchecking the "Follow Curve Direction" allows the slots to remain parallel. Any suggestions? Thank you,Shane 

I have begun evaluating Creo 7 and have noticed that any mapkey that imports a config file is creating flashing windows when executed. These same mapkeys did not cause flashing windows in Creo 4.   I have the config option  visible_mapkeys no this has no affect on the behavior of these windows in Creo 4 or 7 in the context of the mapkeys in question. Does anyone have any idea as to why the windows are now visible in Creo 7? Any ideas on how to not have mapkeys create any visible windows unless pausing for input?   This is the mapkey that is the root cause of the behavior. Every mapkey that has this nested into the definition causes flashing windows to appear.   !* Load config file mapkey .ifcp @MAPKEY_NAMEImport config .pro;@MAPKEY_LABELRead config;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdRibbonOptionsDlg` ;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Select `ribbon_options_dialog` `PageSwitch

Creo 8.0Hello!I am student using Creo for my CAD course.I am at the end of the project and I have to use the ISO M"x" screws, which schould be in the creo Standard library (the course says it) to "screw" some parts together.However the library don't appear, I thought it was because of the config.pro file but I'm not sure and, anyways, have no idea of how to correct it.Here are some screenshots,Thank you for your help, I wish you a beautiful day.

Hi, I'm using Creo 11. I wish to know if it is possible to directly open a solidworks sldasm file and use the inseparable assembly/embed function so that I can keep all the data/childparts so that when I upload to windchill I only have the one assembly.

Is it possible to control the increment when using 3D Dragger to drag the section during creating Cross Section or to have a toggle in offset value area to increase or decrease the value for example by 0.5 or 1.

I’ve been searching for days and cannot find a solution. Mathcad Prime 11, Windows 10 (and 11 on another machine), MS365 current version fully licensed. I can usually insert an excel component into my worksheet. Any worksheet; new, old, etc. As soon as I create an input or output variable, the border around the component turns red and at the bottom I read an “Excel is busy…” error. Sometimes I get that error while trying to insert the component and it would let me do it. I’ve read all over that people are having this problem on various versions of Excel, Mathcad, Windows. None of the posted solutions seem to work for anyone, and none have worked for me. I believe way back when I was using Mathcad 15 this feature worked perfectly. Now it seems to be a problem that, although widespread, PTC says they cannot reproduce it on their systems. I find this hard to believe. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? This is a very useful feature when it works, but sin

I created a table in Mathcad 8.0 by copy and pasting raw data (red outline in attached image) from Excel to Mathcad.  Now that I have the table created in Mathcad (blue outline in attached image), I want to overwrite it with new data (orange outline in attached image).  For whatever reason, copy and paste of the orange data does not seem to work when I try to paste into the blue outline.  What am I doing wrong?  I have tried to clear the cells in Mathcad first, to no avail.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 8.0 (connected) Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0Hello, I need to make some custom color palettes for our organization. I haven't been able to find a detailed rundown of the structure of dmt files, and would like some help determining the meaning of each variable.I have seen opened some files and have seen:ambient_color - with 4 values scaled from 0 to 1diffuse_color - same values as ambientspecular_color - same values as ambient(Perhaps three of these values are scaled RGB, but I am not sure how to utilize these three sets of color definition.)diffuse - value 0-1ambient - value 0-1shine -value 0-1intensity - value 0-1reflection - value 0-1transparents - value 0-1index_of_refraction - value 0-?I believe some of the second group are tied to parameters than can be edited in the appearance manager, but the scaling is different and I don't think it has all of the listed variables as options.Any information or guides you can offer on creation of a custom d

hi All  i want to write a simple code which exports an active model into a step file.  nevertheless, i do not fully understand how the ExportIntf3D works. is there somewhere an example where i can check? i think its no big deal for someone who knows what he is doing 😄

I have had running Windows 10 and Creo 11.0.3.0.After I have upgrading Windows to 11, Ansys in Creo will not start. Creo stops with a fatal error. If I start Creo as an administrator, if runs with out problems. Does any of you know the problem, and that is it I shall have rights to? Allan

Hey there,Can anybody confirm that, is there any availibility of coding of any type in Mathcad Prime 7? (PS: I`m currently using Mathcad 11 and I have a client that uses Prime  and raised this question. As I`m not entirely sure if it, I would require one of your assistance. It`s not about 'Advance Input/Output commands' coding. It`s just the basic coding.)Like, can they write and run a random computer program using loops, arrays, etc., just like in Mathcad Prime 10/11...? Can we? Or can we not?Regards.Srikar KonaCiao!

Hello, I recently finished a 3-D CAD design utilizing mechanisms and animations from Creo Parametric. I wanted to ask if there would be away for me to utilize this animations and import it to Creo illustrate mainting both the motor movement and constraints used? Thank you.

Hi, Reference from topic I'm interested in learning about the OCS. Would you able to share the rest of the Design Manual? Thanks.
