Hi there, I have a frustrating problem with Model Check.We use screws in our assemblies. Those screw's length is defined by a family table. Unfortunately, ModelCheck always checks those screws in the assembly and causes a "is modified". Even if I check the assembly with the option "top level".  I already added "IF ( MODELNAME EQ ISO* ) NOCHECK" to condition.mcc But no luck. Creo keeps modifying those models nevertheless. If I open the screw itself and run model check, I get a "nocheck", which I expect.  BUT Creo list the model as "modified" anyway. 

We have an application that receives messages from mobile devices. Each message contains a device ID, a coordinate, and the timestamp when the coordinate was captured.This data is stored in a Value Stream as a position history: ID, capture timestamp, coordinate.The issue is that devices sometimes resend coordinates with a capture timestamp that already exists in the Value Stream. When this happens, ThingWorx overwrites the existing record instead of creating a new one.Example:At 10:00 AM, device 123 sends coordinate A,B with capture timestamp 10:00 AM → stored as:123, 24/02/2026 10:00 AM, A,BLater, at 5:00 PM, the same device sends coordinate C,D with capture timestamp 10:00 AM. ThingWorx replaces the previous record, resulting in:123, 24/02/2026 10:00 AM, C,DHow can we prevent overwriting and instead store both records with the same capture timestamp?

Hi,I am trying to run a dynamic simulation for my assembly. It contains the the lever arm with the pivot at the center of the arm. One end I have mass which generates the force of 25N in one direction. I apply 600N of force on the other end in opposite direction (force curve will start at (0,0) to (0.5ms, 600N)). I have the below setting and it seems like the lever is not rotating. Do we need to change any setting if the duration is very small. 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030Opening the model in Creo using windchill error showing Documents in the list cannot be added to workspace as on-the-fly sharing is disallowed and they are not already shared.Here are the errors that I facedDocuments in the list cannot be added to workspace as on-the-fly sharing is disallowed and they are not already shared

Hello!In my case, I would like to plot an S–N curve for fatigue life.I need the initial slope to be m = 3 or m = 5, and after the knee point, the slope should change to m = 22, specifically for the high-cycle fatigue region.On the Y-axis, a stress range up to 300 MPa is sufficient.On the X-axis, I need the range from 0 to 4 × 10⁷ cycles, and importantly, the X-axis must be in logarithmic scale.I have attached an example S–N curve below for better understanding.I noticed that there is a logarithmic scaling function available in Mathcad plots, but I am not able to apply it correctly for my specific case. BrNLAAL  

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am in the process of setting up the config of a new Windchill environment. After doing this I will need to perform: 1. A migration of content from one Windchill instance into another of the same version. The content being brought across will be in the form of two different object types - a soft type change request and a soft type document. We would like to bring across a full history of each of these objects and include links within the objects to the document objects that they relate to. 2. A migration of content from a non-PTC application into a Windchill instance. We are likely to receive the export of the content in the form of a text file which I am hoping to use to feed a tool that will perform the import. I would like to be able to perform an import which will allow me to build an iteration history of Windchill objects based on the import. The objects I would like to create during the import will be soft type change tasks, change notices,

Question related to this old post   I was able to load only Change Requests using OOTB , Other Change Objects gets me an error for loader method.   Can anyone help?     Thanks.

Just wanted to see if anyone has some good reasons to not use a Problem Report (PR)? The why is about identifying a problem (potential or existing) or enhancement. PR's can be directly acted on (start a CR) or staged for the next change to the item. It is a way to have a technical review before moving to the CR.   They can be a proactive feed  and not a reactive feed ( NCMR, Deviation, Complaint, Line down, audit).  

Hi,anyone can tell me how turn off the  "welcome to Creo browser" when Creo 9 is turn on? I can't find on the config setting  

I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.4.0 and performing a Model Check on a part and I am looking at the warning for "Annotations with incorrect surface references" which has the name ANNTN_SEM_REF_TEXT_VERIFY.It is telling me that I have the incorrect number of annotations with incorrect surface references.  I am trying to indicate that there are two surfaces that are 1.450 away from datum B, so in the references, I have datum B in the "first dimension reference" and then the two surfaces in the "second dimension reference."  So why is Model Check flagging this?  Am I doing it incorrectly?

I've changed laptop recently and don't have MathCAD anymore. So, I requested a few times through website's online form, but no email received so far. Could you please explain where the problem is?

Creo+ 13.2 delivers enhancements to help users collaborate effectively and achieve higher-quality results on their best designs in less time. Surfacing introduces piece-to-piece parameterization and improved control of tangent curve lengths – making it easier to build precise surfaces with fewer iterations. Multibody design is more flexible with better creation and updates of assemblies derived from multibody parts. Simulation-driven design in Creo incorporates the latest Ansys solvers and simplified bolt elements for patterns and preloads, giving teams more accurate studies with less setup effort. Gain major time savings in composite design with significant improvements to reuse existing designs. In manufacturing, Creo+ 13.2 has a new spiral toolpath type, gouge protection, and a closed-loop option to reduce errors in high-speed milling steps.Read the release notes to learn more.(function() { var wrapper = document.getElementById('lia-vid-6389900971112w960h540r598'); var vid

Any / All,I would love if Creo had a way to move items on a drawing in small increments easily. Preferably I'd like to use the keyboard arrow keys to "nudge" those items.For context and my immediate need I have a symbol that I've place on a drawing. I can drag it around with the mouse to coarsely place it but then it'd be nice to nudge it with the arrow keys on my keyboard to exactly where I want it to be finally located. This is purely for aesthetic reason at the moment but I could see where, in the future, I might want to sketch something onto a view that needs to line up with other geometry.Is this a current Creo function that I just haven't found?If it's not then is there a way I can maybe tie a move mapkey to my arrow keys or something similar?Google searches on this result in some suggestions to use the shift or ctrl keys with those arrow keys to seemingly do what I want but so far none of that has worked.Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

Hello Team, Could you please help me for below issue.Creo drawing lifecycle state in title block mismatch with Drawings state in Windchill. But it is taking related CAD part/ASM Windchill state. Thank youKumar B

Hi everyone, I'm looking for the old stunt bike MDO demo models (from the Pro/Mechanism era, if I remember correctly).If anyone still has them, could you please share them? Thank you in advance.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.4As part of a customer project involving the use of CREO version 10, we need to create a new ‘product’ in Windchill in order to have a defined data storage area dedicated to associated objects.Here are the errors I encounteredError message when creating a product via the orgadmin account and following the steps described in PTC support:We are stuck at step 1: ‘Click the New Product icon in the Products table.’ The following message appears:"You do not have permission to create this object.Contact your system administrator."

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: The link below explains that it is possible to create add "Affected Objects" to a change task within a change notice when creating the change notice using a REST API call. https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill_rest_services/r2.5/en/?_gl=1*ylfb42*_ga*MjAzNzQyOTYzMC4xNjc4MTcyNTE4*_ga_1QBT6P6HR1*MTY3ODE3OTA5Ni4yLjEuMTY3ODE3OTA5OS4wLjAuMA..#page/windchill_rest_services/example_changemgmt_create_changenotice_mul_tasks.html#Description: I have been able to use this script to successfully create a change notice which features a change task with an affected object included on it. I have developed this script further in an attempt to also add "Resulting Objects" (see below). When I add this script into the request body, the interface reports no issues and it seems as though the call runs successfully. When I navigate to the "Changes" section of Windchill, I can see that the change notice was created along with the change task and affected object. However,

The bolt shouldn't need a nut. I'm just pulling against the slot to see if we can simulate the failure.I can't imagine that would need to create an imaginary nut for this. What is the best way to create a contact and maintain the cool bolt functionality? (without a nut and another imaginary part for the imaginary nut to connect to) The actual assembly does not have a nut at the end of this bolt and I'm not testing the "pull out" of this bolt in the other part - just the failure of the thin area of the slot.

Hi,I have 3000 Creo Part and drawings in one folder. Currently all the parts are having some free text in the drawings (Surface Treatment: Painting) , I want to change it to new free text (Surface treatment: Powder coating). Also I want to add revision for that in the same drawing. It will be two column like Revision No (A, B,C...) & Description ( Was painting). How do I do this activity in mass?
