HelloI am using advanced control text box with python to do conditional formatting. Unfortunately if the variable is undefined I cannot reset the formatting to warn the user something is wrong with the control which results in previous value being displayed. Is there any way to to change the text string/background color  in case any variable is undefined?My code below:def TextBoxEvent_Start():# TODO: Add your code here pass def TextBoxEvent_Exec(Inputs, Outputs): Outputs[0]['Value'] = TextBox.TextS = Inputs[0]['Value']A = Inputs[1]['Value'] stringText = TextBox.TextTextBox.Text = str(round(A/S,2)) if S>A:BackColor = TextBox.BackColorTextBox.BackColor = "#FF0000"else:BackColor = TextBox.BackColorTextBox.BackColor = "#92D050"pass def TextBoxEvent_Stop():# TODO: Add your code herepassThank youBest regards Michal

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.7Our designers assign colours to their models in Catia to make orientation easier in Catia as well as Creo View.Sadly, the colours do not get through to Creo View representations although "Use Face colours" is ticked in the corresponding rcp file.Can someone advise, please?Here are the errors that I facedNo error message, worker doesn't throw any error it just ignores the colours

Our Kepware server (v6.16.203.0) is connected with a Siemens PLC 1500 with the Siemens Plus Suite - (KWP-SIEMP0-PRD KWM-SIEMP0-ATT) driver. The PLC has defined a datatype WString of 10 characters long (24 bytes). Which datatype should we define in the Kepware server as the datatype wstring does not exist (only string). When we define the tag as DB1101.STRING0034.24 we receive no error but when reading the value from the plc we get a blank result. If we define as bytearay or hexstring e.g. DB1101.HEXSTRING0034.24 then we get the value of the PLC returned as 000A0000300068000... which seems as the correct hex representation of the PLC value. However it is not clear how to write a value to the wstring. We tried several notations with the Quick client, but always get errors like: Failed on item <tagname> synchronous write.Changing the PLC program or address types is not an option - we can adjust or IT application (=opclient) but need to know how to write to this datatype wstring

Is the "Creo University Free Edition" available for all students, or does my university need to have some licenses for it? I am asking because my university for sure does not have any licenses for Creo. But if it would be free to use for all students, then I could still use it. I am from Germany. Thank you for your help!!Creo University Free Edition: Creo University Free Edition | PTC

I have copied and pasting equations from Mathcad 15 to paste in Word document. The word document will be edited to be part of a book. the Editor told me that the quality of the equations was not good, that only had 96 dpi of resolution (I do not know what this mean). But for print, the quality of the equation, as seeing in the word document, has to be 300 dpi. Does anyone have idea how I can improve the quality of copying and pasting equations in word documents? thank you in advance,   Rogelio

Hi,The default text format of the description of release items is "Plain".  How can I set the default format to "Wiki"? I could not find any tracker configuration or application configuration entry to address this topic. Thank you in advance. CB version: 2.2.1.1

What I would like to do is have the colours of wires represent the colour of the spool from which that wire is drawn. Now whilst I accept that the wire colour parameter is just a label that can be used in reports and is in no way linked to a colour in the rendering sense I would like to know if there is any way of assigning a visual colour to a spool.Alternatively.In WF3 I could colourise a harness by applying colours to individual wires but in CREO I can not find how to do this. The wires are created in a default colour and any attempt to colour a wire selects the whole harness. The 'new' process of selecting the object to which the action is to be applied before the action you wish to perform, does not work in this case. I select an individual wire then select the colour I wish to apply but the selection dialogue does not appear and I can't OK the process for the colour to be applied. If I can't colourise a spool how do I colourise an individual wire?

I still cannot acquire a 72-hour license due to Cloudflare Internal Error (since Oct 20) despite upgrading to Creo Elements v9 , reinstalling everything , Win 7  up to Win8.1 , back again , back to to Creo v 6  etc etc . But the interesting thing is that I ended up repairing a Macbook Air that had a dead display that I last used three months ago , which had Creo Elements running on Virtual Box , and it re-opened fine without having to acquire a new 72-hour license , because when I shut down VirtualBox I had "Saved The Virtual Machine State" with Creo running on it & without closing Creo , rather than powering off the Virtual Machine. It seems the virtual license doesn't affect Creo on VM's  in the same way or at least not on my setup (I'm using VirtualBox 7 on a 2015 Macbook Air running OS Monterey  & Creo Elements v6. I guess I'll lose it when something crashes as it no doubt will , but till then I don't have to keep trying to get a new 72-hour license. I'm

I purchased 3 licenses, in the name of MAYORISTA DE PARTES Y OPCIONES, but they are for my client SOUTHERN PERU COPPER CORPORATION. Please tell me the steps to change the name so they are in the name of my client SOUTHERN PERU COPPER CORPORATION. If there is support in Spanish, please let me know. Thanks Ramiro L.  

Has anyone migrated from Polarion to Codebeamer? I've had success with the ReqIF export-import flow, but I don't get any history with that import.

Hi, we are using the "Import Status" to identify between releases of the supplier what has changed between two deliveries. Unfortunately the import status is not automatically cleared when importing a new ReqIF.What does this mean? We have to go through 50k items (26 trackers) and clear the status. We also tried this via script but this takes longer then doing it by hand. Is there any best practice on how to do this smarter/faster? Is there even any update planned on improving this in the import mechanism directly? Thank you,Manuel 

Dear ptc communityI am currently using the U-CON driver in Kepware to collect data from a device over UDP (not TCP). The system works stably for the most part, but intermittently, the tag values stop updating in Kepware without any errors or changes in status. The data quality remains "Good", but the values become frozen.To clarify: I’ve verified using both Wireshark and Kepware's diagnostics tools that UDP packets are still being received from the device at the expected interval and in the correct format.Despite this, Kepware stops updating tag values, and there is no indication of failure or timeout within the application.Only a restart or reinitialization of the U-CON driver restores normal operation.The device always ends its transmission with a consistent termination character. I’ve tried both termination-based and fixed-length receive modes, but the issue still occurs occasionally.I would appreciate your help with the following:What could cause the U-CON driver to stop updating v

hi guys, Could you know whether Kepware Server can support communication between Siemens PLC and Siemens Desigo CC via BACnet/IP? Although Siemens provides a BACnet gateway for BACnet integration, its network configuration does not comply with IT security requirements. Therefore, I would like to know if Kepware can perform protocol translation. If so, could you provide a configuration manual? Thank you very much.

Currently, when a part is used multiple times in a Creo assembly, the systems handle quantities inconsistently:EPM Document Structure: Shows multiple occurrences of the same part, each with quantity 1WTPart Structure: Correctly consolidates into a single occurrence with total quantityThis inconsistency causes confusion in our processes. We need both structures to follow the same consolidated quantity approach as the WTPart structure.How can I configure the system so that EPM documents automatically consolidate multiple instances of the same part into a single occurrence with total quantity, matching the default WTPart structure behavior?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Unable to delete latest iteration of CAD documents and WTPart when WTPart has a Content association to a CAD document in Windchill 13.0.2.Description: A few weeks ago, I opened a support case with PTC for an issue where we cannot delete the latest iterations of CAD documents and WTPart when the WTPart has a Content association to one or more of the CAD documents.  The case was closed as "works to product specification for Windchill PDMLink" (related article: Article - CS456009 - Unable to delete latest iteration of CAD Document due to referential integrity error in Windchill PDMLink). Here's a scenario:Check in Creo model (asm or prt) and drawing, generating WTPart either during checkin or afterward, or use existing objects.WTPart is associated to Creo model as Owner and associated to Creo drawing as Content.  All objects are version A.1.Check out the model and drawing in Creo workspace, open (or modify otherwise), save, check

I am using Creo 11. I am trying to merge harnesses into one harness. Can this function only be used if the harnesses to be merged where from the same harness that was previously separated?

Anyone know how to get the tools from my Manufaturing to post out to my programs so that the list of tools and sizes are in the program for the operator. Now i write them down or use the "Process Documention" button to this after the fact and give to operator.Jeff

Hi,Is there any way to upload Area Targets to a custom cloud storage (like AWS) instead of using Cloud Area Target, in order to make the project lighter?Thanks!

This month’s challenge is a programming challenge inspired by Dijkstra’s algorithm, which finds the shortest path from a single source to all the other nodes in a network, based on weighting. In this scenario, we will use points in a 2D plot, where the weighting is the distance between the points.   Challenge 1: Known Points For the provided points, write a program to calculate the shortest path from the first node (5,5) to all other nodes, always choosing the shortest path from the current node. Feel free to use Mathcad's random number generator functions to make your own points instead. You can also start from a different point of your choosing if you so desire.   Challenge 2: Graphing Create a Chart Component or XY Plot that graphs this path.   Challenge 3: Advanced Inputs Incorporate advanced input controls to allow the user to change quantities such as the number of points or generate new points / path.   Challenge 4: 3D Can you write a program that performs t
