It mentioned problems with the server after putting in my product code so i tried again and it told me that i had used up all of my uses and now i dont know what to do. It said something about either the server being busy or something else

I want to take a licence or take 60 days free. I'm a student, please give me free use.

We are currently running Creo 12.4.1.0 and we are seeing some odd behavior that I am trying to resolve. When performing certain (seeming unrelated) actions like opening the File-options window or adding a new view in a drawing there is a 10-15 second delay where Creo freezes before performing the requested task. The issue is consistent in that it occurs on the same handful of tasks but oddly not every time we perform them. We saw this same behavior in Creo 4.0 before our upgrade which leads me to believe it is caused by an external factor. My current theory is that our antivirus software (Checkpoint) is checking or scanning some Creo related file or service causing the delay. Has anyone else seen this type of behavior and if so how did you resolve it? If it is the antivirus software, is there a recommended file or service whitelist?  

Version: Windchill 11.2 Use Case: I want to roll back a drawing revision.Description: Using Creo 10.0.8.0.  We created a drawing weeks ago and assigned a number at rev _-. Checked the drawing in but never released it. Engineering decided to change the part number and when I renamed it, the number change was accepted but the rev level seemed to auto-advance to _A without any prompting from me to do so. The only way I can see to get back to rev_- is to delete the drawing and start over. Is there another way to do this? I have this same problem with a couple of other drawings that had been released but not signed off by everyone (so not 'officially' released in my organization) and now there is a part number change required for those drawings that should not necessarily require a revision either. What seems like not so many years ago (to me), this was a drafter level function, pull down tab and you could go backwards if needed.  Any ideas? Thanks.

What is the best way to route cabling? P clips assembly first and then route thru them or any other ideas? Please suggest. See image 

I'm using MathCAD 9.0.0.0. I get this error on my last equation...I don't know what's off because all of these variables worked fine together up until this point. Initially the box was only around the first CDH until I added "explicit,ALL" so that might be something to look at. Thanks,      Brent

Hello to all,as a leader of a 3d-printer at school (class 5-13) I use Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 8.0 (Deutsch).Since a week I cant download a key from websidehttps://www.ptc.com/appserver/securePeModeling/peManualLic.jsp?lang=de&u=Holger&m=DESKTOP-SEPHVKI&w=6.2&v=40.00Any ideas what is frong? Best Holger

Hello,I need to define a large number of variables, as listed in the attached Excel file.The file includes the variable names, units, and values.Currently, I’m defining each variable and its unit manually, which takes a lot of time.Is there a way to make this process faster—perhaps by using loop processing in a program or some other method? attached file is made by Mathcad10 

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on performance testing with a load balancer using JMeter integrated with Windchill. I’ve been following the article provided by PTC, but I’m unable to download the EDCCadMultiUser.jar file mentioned in the instructions.Could anyone please guide me on how to download this JAR file or share if there’s a more recent article or updated link available?Thanks in advance for your help!

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Classification of multiple documents from Desktop Integration Description: Hi everyone, do you know if with Desktop Integration, when you select multiple documents from local and drag them into Windchill, it is possible to assign the classification immediately in the interface? The same behavior that happens for the selection of the softype would be needed, which is rightly always the same for all documents dragged in that operation. At the moment it allows me to assign it only if I do it for one document at a time.     The attribute appears in the column selection but then you don't see it ty,Matteo

Hi, I need to split a ncl file by machining duration to calibrate the tool before resuming the path.Thanks,Federico

Hello All, We have a Haas VF-2 with a Haas HRT210 rotary. I'm machining a block on 4 sides (AO, A90, A180, A270). Working off centerline of the rotary. The problem is that the posed gcode creates A0 and A180 in the correct orientation but A90 and A270 are flipped. In the attached picture specifically (WCS.jpg) depicts how I have the coordinates set up A0 being the top of the part (the face with the cbores).  A270 being the flat face in picture WCS_A270.jpg. Has anyone ran into this problem? Can this be fixed in the post processor application within creo? Thanks,Jostan

Hello. We got a Tormach 1100mx at our work and we use CREO 7.0 for our CAD/CAM. Unfortunately, I could not find a post processor for the Pathpilot on PTC's website. I am wondering if there is a post processor somewhere out there, or do I have to make my own Post processor. Thanks!

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Based on object affected (type, state, attributes) and the selected end state, the change process automates a minimal list of required roles/approvers.Description:  Wondering if this topic has already been covered?I have seen customization that checked that a given set of Roles in the change process were populated based on affected objects (type, state, attributes).I have also seen the use of a questionnaire with cascading additional questionnaire to define the change process path and approvers. 

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Republish is not working - Publish will work only when we do check in and check out. Windchill version is Release: 13.0.2.6 I checked online and tried adding below lines to xml. OR · It says our Windchill version does not support on="republish" or on="manual-post" in publishrules.xml. You cannot fix this by editing XML. To get PDF/STEP on republish, you need either: A check-in/schedule trigger, or A custom workflow/JPO that explicitly calls the publishing API. <publish on="manual-post" additional-files="publish_drawing"/>OR<publish on=" republish" additional-files="publish_drawing"/>Description: Attached xml file used. Ca you help on this. 

 Bonjour,Je rencontre un problème avec la configuration de Creo Parametric 10.0.9.0. Les unités par défaut sont  les Pouce Livre Second. Or j'aimerais configurer mon logiciel afin que les unité métrique soit par défaut. Malgré la création et le placement d’un fichier config.pro personnalisé, le logiciel ne semble pas le prendre en compte au démarrage. Les unité reste en systèmes impériale et les fichier de configuration lu indique C:\Users\hugos\Documents\config.pro alors qu'il n'y a pas de fichier a cette emplacement. Y a t'il une autre méthode ? Informations techniques :Version de Creo : Creo Parametric 10.0.9.0Système d’exploitation : Windows 10 (64 bits)Chemin d’installation :C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 10.0.9.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exeChemin du fichier que je souhaite utiliser :C:\Users\hugos\Documents\PTC\Creo10.0\config.proFichier actuellement lu selon Fichier → Aide → Informations système : C:\Users\Public\Documents\config.pro C:\Progr

I have two list boxes (MathCAD Prime 11.0.0.0), The selection of one list box drives the list of the other box (see picture). The problem I have is the values update on re-opening the sheet. I can get the sheet to remember the 'Type' selection. However I can't get the second list box to remember the selection from the previous save and close. Below is the code in the jscript:- // TODO: Add your initialization code hereListBox.ResetContent();// Add Strings here as needed function ListBoxEvent_Start(Inputs, Outputs) {   // TODO: Add your code hereListBox.ResetContent()if(Inputs[0].Value=="UC"){ListBox.AddString("356 x 406x 1299");ListBox.AddString("356 x 406x 1202");ListBox.AddString("356 x 406x 1086");ListBox.AddString("356 x 406x 990");... (the full script code is attached)So I know/suspect the issue is the 'ListBox.ResetContent()' line but how do I stop the script running on open or remembering the selection, so that it keeps the previous save options?The sheet opt

Creo10 Pro/Toolkit Cabling development issue.I am trying to route wires through a point location starting from a connector side. I created the ProRouting data for each wire. And use following code to route all of them through a point location one by one.for (int j = 0; j < cablenum; j++){...err2 = ProCablelocationrefAlloc(PRO_LOC_POINT, sel_array_route, PRO_B_TRUE, offset, &cablelocationref);err3 = ProCableThruLocationRoute(cable_route_data_arr[j], cablelocationref, &tpm_loc, &second_location);...}But the CAD shows all wires are interfered and concentrating in the point as the left pic shown.What I want is including all the wires in the point with the blue points like the right pic shown. Is there anybody know how to achieve this by the Pro/Toolkit code? Million thanks to this.
