Is there a way, in CREO 10, to get the surface of an extrude to look different than the background surface?The first picture is what I was trying to achieve -- a plaque (i.e. an ornamental tablet, typically of metal, porcelain, or wood, that is fixed to a wall or other surface in commemoration of a person or event).The second picture shows how it looks in CREO, using NO HIDDEN -- anything else (like SHADING WITH EDGES) transforms it into something horrible, that cannot be understood (my colors in CREO have always been awful, never managed to get those nice pastel colors that other people show on YouTube).The third picture shows how it should look even in CREO -- I used colors to make a point, but what I had in mind was at least a GRAINY surface, different from the background surface of the respective plaque, just to make sense to someone who is trying to figure out what they are looking at (no need to look artistically pleasant, but to be at least intelligible).Any ideas would be great

Hi, I need a help to start a creo in a custom way likewise.If it start creo, the config.pro, templates & other files should be copied to local drive from the shared drive. Once i close the creo session & start fresh again it should remove the old files & then copy the same files again from shared drive to local drive.Note : this is a windchill based environment.Kindly help me with the procedure to perform this task.ThanksNaresh

I want Integration with Cameo to Codebeamer . By using OSLC Service or OSLC API provide me steps how do. And where can found OAuth information in codebeamerI explored Cameo having feature called datahub explorer in we have Rootservice url and OAuth consume key and secret key.This snap of Cameo DatahubI try to find Codebeamer Root service URL I Couldn't found Instead of Root service Url i tried with Catalog  url it was not working. 

Hello everyone!In the attached photo, I perform a topological analysis starting with the graph of a given system. At the end of the calculation, the two matrices β.t and Q.f should be equal, but instead they are different. Why?Thank you to everyone who will respond.Bye!  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.1The CAD Publishing rule wat we have defined is not working in the UAT instance (which is an cluster instance ) but the same CAD Publishing rule is working in the lower instance .

I'm currently working on trying to evaluate the safety of the screws used for a lift bar of a block but seem to not be able to get reasonable values for the stresses inside the bolts. I believe that the model is over constrained but don't know how to fix it. I'm currently using Creo 11 simulate not the live one.  The assembly consists of a large steel block (approx. 4,400 lbs), with a T-shaped lift bar bolted to it. The lift bar is mounted using three screws: two on either end of the top of the T and one at the base. The lifting point is centered on the crossbar of the T (via an eyebolt), and in the simulation this point is fixed. Gravity is applied in the -Y direction using -386.1 in/sec².The fasteners are 1-inch diameter UNRC coarse-thread screws modeled using Creo Simulate's screw fastener feature. They are threaded directly into the block (no nuts), with preload disabled. The materials are high-carbon alloy steels. Analysis Type: Structural, nonlinear with large defo

Hi all:I am looking for help/tips regarding more efficient/practical ways in MathCAD 15 to perform recursive calculations as it relates to creation of arrays, vectorizing the arrays (row by row), and then augmenting these data vectors into a final array.  I have attached MathCAD 15 file to illustrate my questions.The attached file is intended to perform a least-squares fitting of optical wavefront data (optical path difference data) to a set of Zernike polynomials.  I have tried to describe each portion of the script so that it is easier to understand what I am trying to accomplish.The first portion of the script creates two arrays (rho and theta) that contain the respective values over the unit circle.As shown, the next section explicitly lists the mathematical form for of the first 36 Zernike polynomials and evaluates them at each coordinate position.  Once evaluated, individual arrays are created for each, evaluated Zernike polynomial so that in the end we have 36 ind

Hey folks, It`s me again...I have been using Mathcad integration with Creo, but recently one of my friend had asked me "if we can integrate SOLIDWORKS (or any other CAD tool) with MathCAD." I kinda got stumbled on this and been wondering. I was checking out few resources in all PTC & Dassault portals and all I found was the Legacy Mathcad integration with the very old versions of Solidworks. That gets me here seeking answers from y`ll. Can Mathcad Prime 10/11 be integrated with Solidworks 2024 or above/below versions???Will be waiting for your answers...Ciao,Srikar

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case:Description: My company have integrated windchill and inventor some years ago, before my arrivalNow I'm reviewing the configuration and I think we have some issues, mainly on the Inventor's client settings side. For example, regarding the inventor "content center", we've correctly created a library in Windchill and imported all the content center parts, etc, but on Inventor's side, under settings, I'm not convinced that the paths are configured properly. I'm attaching some screenshots with comments of the current settings, for the tab "Files" and "Content Center"   and also another screenshot of the Default Project.  I'd like to get some feedback by someone who is successfully using Inventor with Windchill,If you could share what are your settings/default project I would really appreciate it, Also if  you have other advices, i'd be happy to listen thanks

Hello Community,Is there a way to automatically disable a user in Codebeamer when the user is deleted or disabled in Active Directory?We have found that there are many users who have been deleted from Active Directory but are still active in Codebeamer.Manual disabling takes a lot of effort for us.Any setting in application, script, API, etc?thank you

I am using ThingWorx Platform Release 9.2 and DatecodeSP6On reducing the font size it is ended up by having a scroll, instead of the font size getting reduced

Version: Windchill 11.0 Use Case: Is there a way to pull drawings for every part within an assembly? I have an assembly part number and want to automatically pull every part number and associated drawing within that assembly. Is there a way to automate this or do it really quickly?Description: Not a problem just a question.

Hi all ,   I have to simulate an Escapement mechanism's kinematics.     I want to know if modeling the mechanism in Creo is even feasible before I start.It works back and forth ('foliot') and is not only a two-wheel rotation that is impacted by diameter ratios. (Key innovation: the escapement) I want to know if using a Creo mechanism is even feasible.   I appreciate the answers in advance.

Hello Community,While working with Creo MBD and exporting the models in STEP AP 242 format for downstream use, I'm facing the following issues:Notes and Symbols MisalignmentAnnotations placed using the "Flat to Screen" display option are not exporting correctly.After import, their orientation and scaling appear distorted or inconsistent with the original combined state view.Semantic PMI Reference IssuesSome semantic references, especially surfaces selected for dimensions like shaft lengths, appear to be mapped incorrectly or changed post-export/import.I would like to know:Are there recommended export settings or best practices in Creo for ensuring accurate STEP 242 output (especially for semantic PMI and screen annotations)?Similarly, are there any import settings or tool-specific considerations for maintaining annotation fidelity in the target system?Is it advisable to avoid using “flat to screen” annotations when targeting STEP 242 format? Creo 8.0 user..

Hi there, as shown in the following screenshot, could someone kindly tell what is wrong with this mathcad operation? There are are same values of 6 inches. But still it is showing "NOT OK". I would be much obliged if someone can resolve my this problem. 

I am exploring the feasibility of developing a unified REST endpoint that enables the creation of Options and Choices, associates an Option Set with a Product under an Option Pool, and assigns it to a specific configurable WTPart. This endpoint would also facilitate the creation of a Variant Specification. While these actions are currently performed through multiple steps in the Windchill UI, my goal is to streamline the process into a single interface. This would allow users from non-Windchill platforms to access a Product and its associated WTPart, input specific Options and Choices, and generate a Variant BOM accordingly. I seek expert guidance on the feasibility and potential challenges of implementing this approach.

So how is your summer going? Fast? It's hard to believe that we are over halfway through summer. What fun things have you done so far? Any big plans for the rest of the year.        I just learned that sulphuric acid should never be left in a metal beaker.   It’s an oxidant waiting to happen.

I am using Creo Parametric version 6.0. I need to use my drawing for multi-region purposes.  When I tried to find a solution, it led to controlling layer properties using the view manager option for drawing in the view tab and the combined state option. But I couldn't find the View Manager option in the View tab in the drawing file. Where shall i find the view manager option ?

Good Morning, I am using PTC Arbortext Layout Developer 12.3.1.0.There is a strange problem in the pdf created via pdf output within ALD.The text of a paragraph, of a line and of a word too is split into pieces. Therefore it is not possible to select and to comment words or characters precisely any more, within Adobe Acrobat. Other pdf-viewers, like XChange (Tracker), are just fine. The pdf from the datecode before, 12.3.0, was shown properly in Acrobat. Any suggestions? Besides recommending non-Adobe-software to my customers? Best wishes Jean

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Say, we have a large classification tree that has some nodes that need to be moved, others need to be added or deleted automatically.Description: We do not want to do this task with hand (as it will take a lot of time and need to be done on our QA environments first). We also want a script to do this so that in the future, when the tree changes according to our business needs it can be easily done. Though when I was looking for any documentation on how to do this I could not find anything to help me. Currently i am trying to insert a new child node of a child node: root > classification > new node trying to import the following file: <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM "standardX26.dtd"> <NmLoader>    <csvLoader>        <objectType>com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.iba.classification.ClassificationNode</objectType>    &nb

Hello, I would like to hear some opinion on Creo Unite and experiences if someone have.I used Open and Import possibilities in Creo to open SolidWorks assembly files and assemble it in top level assembly. So when using open it stay in native (SW) form and in behind Creo make wrapper files which we can see on local folders (*SLDASM.creo, *SLDPRT.creo) but not on windchill. When using import it creates links to original SolidWorks files and save it in native Creo files with .asm and .prt formats. So what are better features in case of updating that SW files when someone send it to us, to use Open or Import. As i could see so far both have capabilities of updating when you overwrite newly SW assemblies in a local folder or checking in new version in Windchill. We even tested Open and Import with inseparable assemblies , so we received SW files with virtual components (inseparable or embedded in Creo), and Creo understood that well. So considering performance , that imported component

I am authoring a maintenance manual using PTC Arbortext Editor with Styler, Release 8.1.1.0. I have my stylesheet set up to automatically populate an 'intentionally left blank' page if a section or chapter ends on an odd page number. This function is working correctly for all the section/chapter breaks in my document, but is not inserting a final blank page at the end, resulting in an odd page count. This happens regardless of which topic I put at the end of my document. Thoughts?

Good morning,it is heavy task to shift our structured data into the restrictions of pdf/UA.With the simple blue code most of it could be achieved by<?pdftagstart "H1">Heading 1<?pdftagend "H1"> <?pdftagstart "P">Text Ceterum censeo<?pdftagend "P"> <?pdftagstart "P">Text Ceterum censeo<?pdftagend "P"> <?pdftagstart "P">Text Ceterum censeo<?pdftagend "P"> Even Artifact could be tagged easily. Having Footnotes or even Endnotes is where the creation of pdf (ALD 12.3.1.0) get disrupted. There could be different ways of tranfering text from a visual layer, like pdf was intitially, to the structured demands, which are imposed on us via pdf/UA.My favourite would be to shift the tag of the Footnote (and even the Endnote) straight behind the Footnote-Reference in the structured text. But how?by tags, like <Note> (and Reference),by <alttext> (or any kind of form) orby assets (in a subfolder with the plain footnotes
