Whichever file I import into Creo (I tried two separate vendors with Inventor, random Grabcad models, and even exporting simple block from Creo and then reimporting it back) - it only imports as a surface. The geometry is fine (no errors) and I can easily solidify it, but I don't seem to be able to find a way how to do this automatically. I am importing large assemblies made by subcontractors with hundreds of parts, so turning each part into solid isn't an option.  I have all geometry "enhancements" disabled, and all the other settings seemingly correct:   Regardless, the Import feature always defaults to "Add Surfaces".Most often I am able to just change it to "Add bodies", or Solidify the geometry outside the "Import" feature - so there are no issues with the geometry I assume:  I looked but I couldn't find a config.pro setting to force Creo to default to "Add bodies" instead of "Add Surfaces" (or other means to solidify the geometry). Is there any

Hi Team,   I was researching how to obtain data from LabVIEW to ThingWorx or the connectivity between ThingWorx and LabVIEW.   I found the article below, and I see that none of the links provided in the article (in the resolution section) are working. Can someone help us with working links? Article - CS364839 - Integrating NI Labview and TestStandEnvironments with Thingworx 9.1Thanks,

I am working on a project to create a UDF library for screw threads in Creo 10.0.4.0 The goal is to have the user enter the nominal OD and TPI for UN threads and get the appropriate geometry driven by relations based off ISO 228 My problem is that it is unclear how to implement these. When I follow the instructions here after selecting features ( To Define Variable Parameters in a UDF ) the dialogue box suggested on step 3 just doesn't open, and the dialogue box stays at 'All elements have been defined. Select element(s) or action(s) from the dialogue box'. Features that are relation-driven (like the OD of the cylinder that constitutes the screw, or the pitch values used for the helical sweep ) are not eligible as variable elements or dimensions either (google results suggested you sometimes need to set the features/dimensions that are parameterized as variable before you use the variable parameters option, but this hasn't worked for me) My next idea is to just

It is also likely to cause issues with other third party MES Software, which really does not like reading from, or writing to addresses that are "Bad (Out Of Service)" .   Is there anything I can do to remedy this situation? ie, Is there a way to make sure I can identify situations where Kepware is unable to subscribe via MID51, seperately from situations where Vehicle ID Number is simply blank? Alternatively, can I change how Kepware determines a address is "Bad" I am in the same situation, looking at the same issue. We currently have to restart the KepServer regularly. Having most of the tags from the AtlasCopco default to Bad(Out of Service) Quality leads to huge issues on the OPC-Client side.Is there a solution for this or a related Knowledge Base or Support Article?   Reference topic for the quote: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Kepware/Question-regarding-PF6000-and-how-KepwareOPC-sets-the-JOB-JOBNUM/m-p/986634#M2551 Thanks!

I have a situation that I am trying to understand to see if this actually can be done. I have a FactoryTalk View application with a Numeric input that is scaled from -0.5 to 0.5 but it is writing directly to the Kepware Tag and is linked to a Modicon Register. I am not scaling the -0.5 to 0.5 in the hmi, I would like Kepware to perform that. So Ftalk input would be -0.5 to 0.5 and then Kepware would scale the -0.5 to 0.5 to 0 - 4095 and write 0 - 4095 to the Modicon PLC. Can this be done?

Hello Community!Can anyone give me a clue why does this happen. It worked but after some time it doesn't. See the image below. I already followed this error solution steps. However, this error still showing up. The concept is about connection of PLC simulator V15.1 of PLC 1200 to Kepware.I tried using NetToPLCssim if this the case but still the error persists. 

Dear Experts, We have several controllers on the network and we would like to collect data from them in parallel, so that we keep the Omron scada intact. The controllers are of type CJ2.We are testing with the trial version of KepserverEX 6 and for now we are testing the connection with only one controller.The controller data is as follows:Fins destination addressIP: 10.0.0.43Network: 3node: 43unit:15frame Length: 2028        The error is as follows: Date Time Level Source Event10.07.2025 09:57:03 Warning Omron FINS Ethernet Omron.ABC3 | Device responded with network relay error. | Net address = 003, Node address = 043, Main error = 0X10, Sub error = 0X5, End code = 0X9005. I also tested the connection directly to the PLC (disconnected the connection to the SCADA system) and we had the same error. What did we set wrong? Thank you and best regards

Is there a limit to the length of the mapkey that I can run in the BaseSession.RunMacro(String mapkey) command in JLink toolkit? I have code that dynamically generates a mapkey to extend its functionality. I group all the mapkey parts that it generates together in one long String. Then I run that macro right before returning control to Creo. I decided to do it this way, to make the mapkey run sequentially.Depending on the number of parts in the assembly, this mapkey becomes long. Very long. Creo hangs when control is returned to it. I can only force quit Creo at that point. The debugger runs until the end of the code and then returns control to Creo, and it starts to hang. On shorter mapkeys, it is not a problem. Control returns to Creo. The mapkey gets executed. The code functions. The problematic mapkey is 4000 lines and 200 000 characters long. Is it known what the limit is? Either a formal limit or a practical limit? Then I could decide when to develop or use a workaround

Hi, I am currently converting legacy drawings drawn using AutoCAD into 3D models and draft 2D from the 3D models. I would like to draft these 2D in such a way that is applicable for all the regions. For example, we would like to show the annotations in Japanese if it's been accessed from Japan, or in English with metric units if it is accessed from India or in English with imperial units if it's been accessed from US. As all the three formats use a common ".PRT"/".ASM" file, is there any recommended way to meet my requirement without the need for creating multiple ".DRW" files? Thanks in advance. Software: CREO Parametric 6.0

I am looking to take a class that will walk me through creating a sketch from scratch and add features/cutouts/extrude etc Which class/classes do you recommend?

Hi, I would like to get the same folder and content representation of project container from Windchill to Navigate using ODATA services, I stuck at getting subfolders(level 2+). Please help me. I use the following API Windchill/servlet/odata/v6/DataAdmin/Containers('ID')/Folders?%24count=false&%24expand=Folders However, this gives me only the first level of the folder structure not the nested folders. Also, How to get the folder content?  many thanks,Janakiraman

It would be helpful if there was a way to call a special check profile in the condition.mcc whenever the model contains one or more parameters that begin with "USR_". This would, for example, prevent extra parameters from being deleted in ModelCHECK whenever a parameter that begins with USR_ is present. Or is there another way to delete all parameters in a model except those beginning with "USR_" or "CONF_"? This would, for example, help bring old data up to date.Here two  examples:IF (CONF_*) config=(check/mat.mch)(check/kon.mch)(start/mat_mm.mcs)(start/kon_mm.mcs)(constant/mm.mcn)(status/status.mcq) (name/Configurator_File)IF (USR_*) config=(check/mat.mch)(check/usr.mch)(start/mat_mm.mcs)(start/usr_mm.mcs)(constant/mm.mcn)(status/status.mcq) (name/Userparameter_File)

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: wt.org.OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class, String,DirectoryContextProvider) we were using the API OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class, String,DirectoryContextProvider) in WIndchill12. But now in Windchill 13 it is replaced by OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class paramClass, Map<String, List> paramMap, DirectoryContextProvider paramDirectoryContextProvider). Previously parameters what we were passing were of type Class - wt.org.WTUser, String - "uid=" + userid and DirectoryConectProvider. now in new version, it is given as passing map, but not sure what should be the key and what should be the value.

Hi @Florent_274366 @BjoernRueegg , With reference to this topic. Is there any way to run job  every week through Scheduled queue. I did WVS Job Scheduler Administration but due to some limitation there as per our requirement so I moved to schedule queue but how to run scheduled job weekly based.   Thanks Afroz

Prime 9 File attached.  

I attached abbreviated work sheets. Question regards echo sheet. How do I pass secondary ohms to the matrix?  I can't seem to define the values as ohm(sec) in the matrix.  Secondary ohms are (ohms value) multiplied by (CTRW/PTRY).  I have a hunch that I don't have units set correctly in the definitions area. I made an attempt at showing values using the table function.  That was a train wreck except I can set units as secondary ohms.

Is there a way to imbed the str2num function into a lookup? Is there a means to automate renaming or concatenation of the variables in the first column of the text file? What is the type of variable is ["600"] ?  I guess it's not a string variable?

We are using ThingWorx Platform 9.6.  Is there a way to search the services attached to a database thing?  For example, I want to know each service that contains a SQL Server Table named Customers?  Is there a way to search the SQL queries within each service and return a list of all services that contain this table? 

Hi all, I am trying to use the second Y-axis functionality on the line widget. The issue I am encountering is the properties displayed on the line chart are dynamically chosen by the user and input into the Data part of the info table, so it is unknown which Y-axis should be used for which property, but sometimes the property values history are very different numbers and could use an automated second Y-axis to make the data look good. Is there any way to do this really with this much uncertainty? I notice if there is a set number of Series that they can be set to either axis 1 or axis 2, but in this case, I don't have a set number of series so cannot really choose and they could need different scales but might not.  Any input is appreciated! Version 9.7.1

I'm using Creo 9.0.9.0 When I open the Creo Parameteric Options window, via the command File -> Options -> Options the window the dialog window that pops up is so wide that the options are  not on the screen. They are shoved off-screen to the left. I can't resize the window with the usual Windows arrow keys, mouse clicks, etc. It will let me make the window wider, but does not allow any decrease of window width.  Is there a way to access the window settings for this dialog to correct this situation? I tried looking for any sort of settings in the Windows registry, but nothing seems to be stored there.
