Hi! I use merged balloon symbols for multiple component. If this merged balloon symbol is moved the leader always move to the middle and works inconsistently.:(view in My Videos)Is there a config key settings to disable this behavior? I think it is a new thing, never happened in previous version of creo (creo8).I'm using: Creo parametric ver. 10.0.4.0 Thanks in advance!

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have several global attributes contained under object types which have been linked to reusable attributes. However, the basis for selecting which reusable attribute should be linked to the attributes of the object has been solely down to the data type of the reusable attribute and if it aligns with the data type of the attribute I want to associate with my object type.Description: Is this bad practice and should I have more control of my understanding of where I have used my reusable attributes? For example, I could have three reusable attributes called "Material", "Manufacturing Process" and "Product Type" which are linked to the global attributes called "Material", "Manufacturing Process" and "Product Type" in an object type called "Object A". These reusable attributes could be contained in an attribute organizer folder called "Object A Attributes" to make it clear where they are used and to which attributes they are associated to. What are th

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.1.0I cannot retrieve the log data requested by PTC because the reporting interface is faulty and displays cryptic text.

We have started to explore the Framework add in with creo.  We noticed that the 8020 library is missing a LOT of sizes and components.  Is this actively updated?  Is it our responsibility to add in the additional sizes and components to meet our needs beyond the basics that is available? Thanks

Based on my experience in the majority of large companies there is a huge need to connect different tools from different vendors. The discussion I would like to launch in this context is: can ThingWorx be used as the tool "integrator" between PTC and 3rd parties tools? Example of a use case: collector \ integrator between Windchill and a 3rd party tools (ALM -requirements management system > keep the link across  artifacts from different tools platforms and keep traceability (changes impacts \ alerts)

 Q1 how to create new profile in creo 8 and saved to libraries?Q2 I had selected rose krieger profile and Bosh profile but in creo, It showed as a rectangular tube with hole in it. how to get the actual visualization? why is that happening?   

I'm a student currently working on a learning project related to IIoT, and I need the ThingWorx trial installation package(with a valid license) for testing purposes.Could you please guide me on how to apply for the trial access and download the installation package? Any links or steps would be greatly appreciated.Thanks a lot!

Hi Community, we are currently thinking about adding some more t-slotted profiles to the advanced framework extension and are wondering what you are using in you designs.  Currently we offer the following manufacturers: Bosch Item Kanya Maytec Minitec Rose+Krieger Frameworld INCH 8020 INCH Controlled Dynamics Do you miss anything in this list and also if you are using the mentioned libraries already are there profiles missing that you would like to have in a future release?   Any feedback is welcome.   Greetings Sam  

OK ... slightly embarrassing - but we will own it.  For the nearly 5,300 users who were NOT able to get a FREE license of: Nitro-BOM, Nitro-CELL, or Nitro-PROGRAM We fixed the "glitch"!   Special thanks to a couple of people who took the time to document an unrealized problem.   There were no problems with Purchased or Demo licenses - just the FREE ones.   Enjoy! 😎 Dave

I am using Creo Schematics Release 12.0 and Datecode 12.0.0.0When selecting a component on the schematic, previously (in v9.0) the parameter panel would update to show which component was selected, with version 12 however I have to close the parameter panel and reopen it to show which component I have selected to edit its parameters. What's strange is that another users computer does not have this issue with both mine and his installation being brand new.I have already reinstalled 3 times to see if it would fix the issue but it has come back each time, I have also cleared any settings I changed and keyboard shortcuts etc to no avail.There are no error messages in the console.

I've gone done a serious rabbit hole but failing to see my error. I am assuming it must be me. I have two instances and both experience same behavior. I can start and stop SOLR normally as my non-root user.  But when I configure my solr.service (which is identical to my previous installs), it fails to see that solr is running, exits and stops the process. I can verify that SOLR does indeed start but the part of the solr script  (called from Index_Search_Server.sh) where it checks that SOLR is running, I think is not detecting it. It times out after 180 seconds and stops.  Here is what I observed: Confirmed that SOLR starts from java process, PID file and logs. Noticed "lsof -v" running while it was waiting for SOLR to start and consuming high CPU. Disappears when it bails after the time out.  I identified the part of the solr script where it tries to verify SOLR is running. (rabbit hole). I can see that it checks the lsof version (where I see "lsof -v", and then ru

I just installed V7 Data Logger and would like to be able to import 4,000+ log items.  The connectivity suite has export/import capabilities. I don't see it for Data Logger.  Is there a way to manipulate the log items via JSON, REST api, or other method?

Hello All, Has the Math software Wolfram become a competitor to Prime in terms of Engineering value? In Prime going back 10 years or so, I used simple loops to get my calculations done.Which these loops are basic to Mathcad and Prime.I have not known Prime for a programming language rater symbolic programming for loops etc.I have come across Wolfram very often when I need something to calculate on the spot using the internet. Thru that I have recently learnt that it is quite impressive.You can set a grid worksheet and have its color light green too like Prime/Mathcad sheets.So, for me that is some cause of an attraction or pull to Wolfram.Especially considering the price.And it is loaded with a full programming language. Tell me am I missing the serious engineer deep thoughts on this?Your comments are appreciated.  Kind Regards,Karl Bogha.

Hi, I am adding a new Mitsubishi Ethernet iQ-R series PLC to an existing FTView SE SCADA which is using Kepware for comms.  The issue is the addresses I need to add to the new Kepware config have not been mapped into contiguous blocks and are widely spread about.  Will this be a problem if I create static tags in Kepware with such scattered addresses ? When I began working on SCADA systems in the 90's I was always told that any data that was to be read or written to by SCADA should be mapped into contiguous blocks, otherwise you would end up getting multiple read transactions which would affect comms performance.  Is this still valid today with fast Ethernet and multi core CPU's ?

I’m looking for a solution to build a Configurable Product in Creo that includes a mechanism.Here’s the scenario:I have a rail mechanism with variable length.When a specific variant (length) is selected, I want the linear motion to be limited according to that selected length.What I’ve tried so far:I created a Motion Skeleton inside the Configurable Product.The rail module was connected to the first body of the Motion Skeleton.The cradle module was connected to the second body of the Motion Skeleton.I was able to build variants using Variant Builder, but the problem is:The cradle’s position is driven by the Motion Skeleton.Changing the rail module length does not affect the motion range, so the cradle runs out of short rails.To fix this, I moved the Motion Skeleton into a new module to build different lengths.However, the Assign Choices function doesn’t work (red icon appears, and I can’t check the checkbox for length).Question:Has anyone successfully built a configurable assembly that

I have tried several times to have the link emailed to me to download the free version of Mathcad but I am not receiving the email. I have checked the spam folders and there is no email.

Unfortunately, this was never fixed.  Now, the Activation Key server is down (URL). Is Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express still a usable product?  If so, what's the fix?

Hi everyone, I am running ThingWorx Flow 9.3.10 and I’m hitting a wall trying to fix an expired self-signed certificate. The Issue: My self-signed certificate for Flow expired, so I needed to regenerate it.
