Created a sheetmetal part master view is the flat pattern.  Created a simplified rep in the bent state.  When we assembly the part in the 3D assembly the assembled components do not update to the bent state.  We need one model to represent the component and allow the flat pattern to be used in the drawing.  Our business has only 1 part number for the manufacture of this component.  We do not want to create another CAD PART  ----   BRAKET_FLAT.prt.  This created unnecessary data in our system and complicate Windchill by dragging along unnecessary objects.

Hello,I am a student who uses PTC Mathcad Prime 11.0 for my coursework; however, starting today, the program will no longer open/run. I have tried restarting, uninstalling, and all the basic troubleshooting. After hours, I am at a loss, and this is the only way I could find to contact any sort of customer support at this time. Everything else implies some invalid product codes or says I need a support plan. I have purchased Mathcad Prime and have been using it normally for almost a month, so I am wondering what all this is about. If you need any specific info, please let me know.

Hello,Could you tell me if the Meta Quest 3 headset (or another one on the market) would be compatible with Vuforia Studio? If not, when?Thanks in advance,Thierry 

Am I correct in saying that the only difference between setting an attribute's visibility to "Value Hidden" and "Read Only" from within "Type and Attribute Management" is that the "Value Hidden" setting sets the display of the attribute value to "(Hidden)" and the "Read Only" setting sets it to "(Unassignable)" in the form for the operation the settings were applied to?

Hi, I use creo 11.0 edition. When I want to select plane nothing happens 

I'm brushing up on my Mathcad Express skills by writing a Roman-to-Arabic number converter, and thought I'd try generalising it slightly to encompass similar sign-value systems (eg, apostrophus and extended subtractive Roman numbers, and Hebrew numerals).   Mathcad's Unicode range does, however, support Hebrew (and Japanese).  I can programmatically create Hebrew strings ...     ... However, I'm having a problem trying to paste Hebrew text into either a variable name or (of particular interest) strings - nothing happens.  Text Box, no problem.   Hence, the title of this thread: how can I paste Hebrew text into a Mathcad string or variable name?     Stuart  Addendum:   This doesn't seem to be a problem for Japanese text.     I also note that several such number systems aren't possible to implement because Mathcad doesn't (yet?) support their Unicode ranges (eg, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Sumerian cuneiform, Ancient Greek,

Running CREO 8.0I have a section view with 2 components not showing up in view. They are there but will not appear.I have tried excluding and including back and forth in VM States tab. I even cleared out my workspace and did the work all over again it was only a (5 minutes task).. I also created the view state all over again. and nothing.See screenshot of bodies in green that will not appear.I did notice in modelling that when I try to add the parts to the section they will not select but other parts will.  

My AutoCAD human resource is taking 50hrs to trace the outline of something vehicle as seen in attached file. Our client has tons of vehicle images to be converted to .drg, bypassing 3D model. I was wondering if someone has a software that can convert image to as if drawn by a engineering drafting pen. .2mm / .4mm / 1mm sharpie. Thanks for all your brainstorming. This may save us a tons. Thanks in ADVANCE! So much of Creo.. So little time.!

Finally upgraded from Creo 9 to Creo 12 and it started completely locking up the system when adding a countersink to a hole feature.  Contacted tech support and they said the Dell 7760 is not supported by Creo 12! This is crazy!  So now I am supposed to go and buy new laptops for the entire engineering and design team?? Looks like I either find another 3D system or I am stuck with Creo 9.  I didn't upgrade to Creo 11 because they moved the mapkeys out of the config.pro to a separate file that is located on the local client.  This made the CAD much more difficult because one way to standardize and control process is by using mapkeys that were loaded of the server at the start point. Not happy with PTC...

I feel like Creo is slowing us down when opening an assembly, particularly large ones, because it is "Doing preliminary Mass props calculations" on every part it opens.  I'd rather do that manually and save time opening the models.  Any ideas?  Creo 10.0.5.0, WC 13

A few months ago our VAR mentioned some changes were coming to Windchill regarding possibly licensing or products, but at the time no specific info was available.  So far this is the first information I have seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klMKVSA5Zv0 Just curious, has anyone else out there heard about this or seen info posted elsewhere ? 

(Windchill RV&S 13.2.0.3).  Currently when a user views the details of a document. The Branches tab shows documents contained in projects that the user does not have access to.  Only the ID and the some fields are shown.  This causes confusion for the user when they double-click the row and try to view the document.  We would like to request a feature to hide documents contained in projects that a user does not have access to.  

I have an identification table (1 row) that I insert into a drawing and it contains &ID1:D.When I insert the table I get flagged with the 'ADD PARAM' menu. From here I select string, type my new value, and &ID1 gets added as a parameter in my drawing.I would like to be able to add a 2nd ID table that gets bumped to &ID2:D, so that on every table insert I get an additional parameter created in my drawing. These id's can range to well over 100. So simply creating (2) different tables, one with ID1 and one with ID2, will not solve my problem. Is this even possible? Thanks for your help!

I've found instructions to toggle a custom layer that include writing two .pro configs, then referencing those in the mapkey, but those instructions are from around 2012, and I'm wondering if there is a more straightforward way to toggle a custom layer with a single mapkey. I've currently got a mapkey that hides a custom layer, "CURVES", with the following code: mapkey z ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree` 1 \mapkey(continued) `node0:CURVES`;\mapkey(continued) ~ RButtonArm `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree` `node0:CURVES`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdViewHide` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ PopupOver `main_dlg_cur` `LayerActionMenu` 1 `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree`; Is it possible to modify this to allow for toggling? Currently using Creo 11.0.4.0

Hello. I'm creating a car in Creo Parametric 9.0. I'm currently modeling a wheel arch and need help. I don't know how to connect the arch to another surface. Here's a screenshot to help you understand what I mean:

Mathcad 14. File attached. I am trying to fill out this area which I believe launches excel and I get the following error:   I was looking at the forums and some people suggested using Excel 32 bit instead of 64 btbut I already have 32 bit  before I go through the hurdle of asking IT to reinstall this software (which might not even solve the problem) what can I try? thanks, 

Mathcad 14. File Attached. Everytime I double click this box, I cannot type anything in the script anymore and I cannot edit itwhat is that box and how to edit it and get out of the selection to edit it? I dont want to remove or change because I am supposed to change anything in the script other than the input values.  

I am using CREO 8 to assemble a large pallet-racking structure for a big storage system, with significant height, length, and width. I would prefer not to use shrinkwraps or IGES/STEP files, because I want my model to update with any modifications. Additionally, I need to be able to visualize the holes. Could you suggest ways to make the assembly lighter?

I am learning about various analysis tools in Creo 10.0.4.0, and can't seem to find a specific explanation of how the 'Section Thickness' tool works. I (think) the related Thickness tool works by ray-tracing a perpendicular line through every surface, and expected the Section Thickness tool must work similarly, except I'm struggling to interpret the highlighted regions it produces in order to assert where those lines are.  In the screenshot below, I have created a model with a revolved section around the bottom of a sketch that looks like a 4-step staircase, 1 inch long with 0.25 inch steps. I have set the maximum and minimum thicknesses to 1.5 and 0.6, so from the geometry, I expect the last step should have some indication that, measured from top to bottom, it is 2 inches long. However, we only get these minimum sections highlighted, which obviously correspond to areas that would be under minimum, but I still struggle to understand how those lines are traced out. 

Why objects which is regenerated in creo changes it's state from to after regeneration. Object is read only why has it been chagned during regeneration?

When I tend to open up the worksheet in Mathcad Prime 8 does it auto recalculates the worksheet on its own or do I have to manually calculate the worksheet ?If yes In which scenario does it recalculates the worksheet?  Best,Sam

I purchased Mathcad Prime 9/14 and still not received the Fulfillment letter.Cleverbridge reference number is 514884616not sure what to do now. 

Is there a way to modify the end of this wire so that it's in line with the other one (red). and follows those? dots? Also has anyone experienced manually routing a wire and once a new segment has been made it lays itself directly on top of something that has already been routed? Flattening seems to be really tricking and annoying a lot of the times the wires won't move in the plane that I want when trying to put them right beside each other. No matter what I mess with nothing really seems to change how the segment reacts. There are also times that I use the move segment tool and if i move it to far from the original position the segment disappears and the segment in the model tree goes red and I can't undo it I have to flattened that segment again. Hoping someone can shed some light on this as its really frustrating to deal with.
