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. 

Im having issues trying to communicate KepServerex V5 5.13 with BACnet server Automated Logic WebCTRL. The server have some HVAC, eletrical and Diesel equipments, but some of these devices are listed on ARCnet network. They dont have IP Address, or MAC Address that i can read, they have their Network Number, 1 MAC Address digit and their Device instance.I managed to connect some devices to Arcnet, but these devices are listed under Routers that are configured as BBMD Devices, and the other devices listed in other ARCnet networks, i can't link or manage their communication in KepServer BACnet/IP driver. Configuration for ARCnet devices that are communicating:Kepserver device ID: <network number listed in WebCTRL device> . <device instance listed in WebCTRL>.Kepserver discovery scope: Using Who-Is/I-Am - Remote Scope.Kepserver COV: Do not use COV. Error messages:- Error reading tag '<tag_address>' on device '<device_path>' (Class: 1 (Object), Code:

Creo 10.0.7.0I am having trouble to get the result as shown in the picture.How to get parameters of each part´s multibody in a table?I know I have to create a parameter for each BODY, including each PART and for ASSEMBLY.REPEAT REGION allow me to get parameters from ASSY and SUB ASSY, as so as PARTS, but there is no option to insert a parameter like ASM>MBR>BODY>USER DEFINED. 

I'm looking for a way to export or save as multiple CREO 4.0 part (prt) files to step (stp) files into a windows folder.

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?

Version: Windchill 13.1 Use Case: Implement Windchill with Single Sign-On using **Google Workspace** as the primary Identity Provider to enable secure, centralized user authentication.Description: 1. Does Windchill support Google Workspace as a SAML 2.0 IdP directly?2. Are there any known limitations or compatibility issues?3. What Windchill version/modules support this configuration?4. What attributes are required from Google IdP (email, name, groups, etc.)?5. Can Windchill handle Just-In-Time (JIT) user provisioning from Google, or must users be pre-created?6. Is there a fallback authentication method if Google SSO is unavailable?7. Any additional components or licensing required for this setup? 

I am using creo flow analysis (creo 11.0.4) with the base license. I would like to simulate a free standing centrifugal (radial) fan in a simple air channel. How do I simulate that?I can create a fluid volume and at the locus of the fan I create a circular interface. I can now choose "fan" for that interface and add a local function as a dp-curve. So far so good. However, creo considers that fan automatically as axial fan and, therefore, the fluid flows straight through this interface. I could add swirl (radial and tangential velocity) to the fan, but I have to add these values in m/s (and I don't know these). Furthermore, I can not select the rotation direction. I saw that alternatively I could choose "rotating wall" as boundary condition if I have a solid that represents the fan blades but I could not manage to create a fan with that. I am also not interested in the flow right through/in the fan but rather through the whole channel. What is the difference between "rotating

Hello, My company has two IDP vendors.  Azure Entra ID, and Okta.  When using Shibboleth, it only allows you to specify one Service Provider.   I know Shibboleth has an add-on package that will let you specify more than one SP, but its complete customization and I see on Google searches that its not a great solution (not supported, completely on your own for troubleshooting) I'd like to know what people have done for a SAML SSO Broker in the middle between the IdPs and Windchill.  Meaning when the user tries to login into Windchill, they get a prompt asking them which IDP they wish to authenticate against from the Broker, and the Broker will route the session to the IDP for Authentication, with the Broker sending the session back to Shibboleth as Authorized.   Ping Federate has this capability, but is $$$$Ockta does not have this capability.Azure has this capability in Entra B2B, but would be a massive effort to implement as a NEW IDP v

We are looking into implementing SSO for our customer.Initially we wanted to go with the simpler implementation using Shibboleth As SP and Microsoft Entra as IP. What other solutions would there be with and would be the complexity level of their implementation?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.1.2Windchill application restart is particularly slow, taking about 500 seconds. Which aspects should be optimized to improve this?

Dear Sir/Madam,I need to perform calculations for my studies and have set up a Windows 10 computer and installed my student version of Mathcad 15. Unfortunately, Mathcad 15 cannot be activated because the license server is no longer available.Can you help me activate Mathcad 15?Thank you in advance.Best regards, Dieter

Anyone created an integration between Windchill and #slack or another team chat solution? I am looking for a way to get old-skool Windchill email messages for Change Objects sent via #slack instead of email. Not a full product integration, just a way to route the email communications via #slack instead of email.    Some people do not look at email any more and there has to be a better way to let people know they have a pending or outstanding task in Windchill without authenticating to the server and checking the Task table on the Windchill Home page. 

I have a code that is looking through the matrix and selects creepage based on my input parameters (PD, MG and working voltage WV). It works great....in picture 1. picture 1 Now, I want to add a linear interpolation between 2 values of the voltage. I made a variable "a" doing linear interpolation and tested it works as expected, which it do. Column variable for searching in matrix is hardcoded at the beginning for test. Now, since it work, code A (linear interpolation of the creepage) replace code B (that is using only search method w/o interpolation) in the original code. That is the only change in original code. Code A is tested it works, gives values I need but after A replaces B function that is calling creepage(WV,PD,MG) is complaining "These units are not compatible". What am I missing? I dont see any problem there. thanks Running on Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0

What option on config.pro  OR dwg.dtl controls default table text?See attachment image for proper understanding of issue/question.  Thank you! Creo is King!!!

Hi all, I have an assembly with 4 sub-assembliesUnder this 4 Subs, i have some components I would like to obtain something like this, but automated with a BOM and special Symbol in place of BOM BalloonsBut... I tried:- Nested tables- A table with several repeat regions (one by Sub-assembly)- table with model columns Without any success.How could i obtain the above result with CREO? Regards

We have an issue with a single user that is unable to send email from within Parametric 10.0.9.0. It will save as and generate files without issue but will just close out of the program entirely when it would usually be opening Outlook. It does this with all file types. Event viewer shows xtop.exe crashing but not much in the way of info. Other users can send without issue. Outlook has been repaired and stripped of add-ins to test. It is functioning fine.
