Hello there,is it possible to define a filter/advanced search (report?) to get an overview of all parts having function of alternate and/or substitute parts?Thank you in advance and have a nice day!- Gerhard - 

Hi, I am after some advice please. I am fairly new to using creo (have used solidworks, inventor and rhino in a previous role), I am trying to remove a template from the list on creating a new drawing. I have navigated to the folder where the templates are saved and this particular template isnt in there to remove, yet it is showing in the list as a n option. Any idea where it would be or why it is still showing?Thank you!

I created a custom choice field to add the links of requirements of same project but from a different tracker. When I try to add it by clicking on the 'pencil icon' then a page appears with error "codebeamer refused to connect". This functionality is not working in any of the projects now, although it was working before. How to resolve this?

Hello everyone,I'm working on a project in Creo 12.4.1.0 where I want to use some intelligent relations to fast change some interchange components and their placement into an assembly.I've the following proof of concept:Where the different building blocks are placed on some premade coordinate systems. The location of those csys must change with height of the lower level component. The Height will be inserted into a parameter in these components. For this I wrote these relations:HEIGHT_1:1=HEIGHT:0HEIGHT2:1=HEIGHT:0Which works for this combination.Where the HEIGHT:0 comes from the red blocks. But when changing the second red block to a blue one, is where I run into some problems. As can be seen is the :0 referring to the session ID. (where the blue one is :2)Is there a possibility of using the feature number instead, because the order of the build is not going to change.Especially because this example is with two type of blocks but the project has 50 different types of interchange

Hi all,I am having issue with this not working. What am I missing?I would expect it to replace PHILLIPS7_8 with SLOT7_8It looks like it runs but nothing gets replaced This is taken from the example code. public static void replaceBolts(com.ptc.pfc.pfcAssembly.Assembly assembly) { // Current Creo session Session session = null; // The base bolt part model Solid bolt = null; // Family table row used to create the new instance FamilyTableRow row = null; // The newly created bolt instance Solid newBolt; // List of all components inside the assembly Features components; // Single component feature from the assembly ComponentFeat component; // Descriptor used to identify component model & instance name ModelDescriptor desc; // Replace operation object CompModelReplace replace; // Collection of replacement feature operations FeatureOperations replaceOps; // Instance name of the existing bolt to be replaced String oldInstance = "PHI

I am using Pro E WF5 and the keyboard is not working. Is there a shortcut that enable and disable keyboard in pro E?

We are aware of an issue some users are having posting some attachments. We expect a solution soon but, in the meantime, posting attachments as .zip files appears to be an effective workaround. I will post updates here as we receive them. Thanks for your patience!

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: A CAD model includes a feature whose geometry is generated from a text string that uses a particular font. Since the font isn’t installed on the CAD Worker machine, the worker silently replaces it with another font, giving an incorrect representation without any error notification.Description: Hi everyone,I’m running into an unexpected behavior with the Windchill CAD Worker when publishing Creo Parametric models that contain text using a non-standard font. In our case, the model includes a feature whose geometry is generated from a text string that specifically uses this font. Since the font isn’t installed on the CAD Worker machine, the worker silently replaces it with another font. The publish job finishes successfully, but the resulting representation is incorrect and doesn’t match the original model. What’s most concerning is that the issue isn’t clearly reported anywhere. The only trace is a single warning line in the trail file, but no

Hi there , I want to stack one value in a matrix in the correct order , but when I use stack function I can put it only in the beginning or at the end like this : I want to put that -13.75 in the correct place which is in the middle in this case .

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am working on implementing Engineering Change Management in Windchill from the perspective of a Business Analyst within the Configuration Management department. I currently have both the AS-IS process and a proposed TO-BE process mapped out. Given this situation, I want to understand how an experienced Windchill/Configuration Management professional would approach this initiative. Where would you begin the configuration within Windchill to ensure the new process is structured, efficient, and scalable? What would be the logical sequence of steps to move from process definition to system configuration and rollout? I wanted an overall outline on this.Description: Our company is transitioning from managing change requests through email and Jira to a standardized Change Management process within Windchill. We currently use both Fast Track and Full Track processes for handling Change Requests (CRs), and the goal is to migrate these into Windchill whil

Creo (non‑licensed Toolkit APIs):How to map ordinate dimensions to their zero plane in a drawing view?I need to identify, for each ordinate dimension in a Creo drawing view, which zero/baseline plane it references. I know ProDimensionAttachmentsGet() in Pro/Toolkit(licensed API) can do this, but I don’t have a Toolkit license.Is there a way to achieve the same using non‑licensed APIs (e.g., VB API/.NET or OTK Java), or a reliable workaround to traverse attachments/baseline direction for ordinate dimensions?

Hello everyone, I’m trying to configure a tag of type LLong (Signed 64-bit Integer) in KEPServerEX 6.18 for a Modbus TCP/IP device, but I’m running into an addressing issue. My setup:Channel: Modbus TCP/IP EthernetDevice: Custom Modbus server running on Raspberry Pi (C#)The server exposes a 64-bit signed integer, stored correctly on the Modbus side.When I attempt to add a tag with data type LLong, KEPServerEX refuses any register address I enter. I’ve tried:4000740000730007300007But I always get the same error:“Data type 'LLong' is not valid for address '400007'.” It looks like KEPServerEX does not accept any Modbus register address for this data type, and I’m not sure whether the issue is related to:register type selection (3x/4x),addressing mode (1-based / 0-based),strict syntax rules,or a limitation of the Modbus TCP driver regarding 64-bit values. My questions.1) Has anyone successfully configured an LLong (64-bit) tag in a Modbus TCP/IP channel?2) What is the c

So, I'm about to introduce Mathcad to a new bunch of Mechanical Engineers.  I've used Mathcad my whole career (recently retired). To those new to the software, I demonstrate how I use it to document and refine calculations. In the days when I was in the office, I'd sit with Engineers individually and show them several things that are not clearly explained upfront (all the different meanings of the = symbol).  Managing subscripts and indexes, also spotting the difference between them. So, thinking of all the things we learned the hard way, let's think of a collection of what you wish they'd taught you upfront.  Suggestions? Bob Adams, aka RantEng

Hi all, We are in CREO 10.0.7.0. Since Creo 8, we can no longer keep the symbol palette open.As soon as a symbol is placed, it closes immediately. I don't recall the symbol palette behaving this way in previous versions.This seems to be the normal behavior of Creo. Is there an option to keep it open? How do you add multiple symbols consecutively without having to reopen the palette from the Annotation ribbon?Best regards Dominique
