Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0Internal volume for fluid analysis cannot be created as no single solid surface exists as a boundary surface on one side of an internal volume (irregular nozzle orifice). Attempts to create a bounding surface have failed, including creating boundary blend surfaces and thickening them to create a selectable solid both surrounding the intended boundary and covering the intended boundary.Here are the errors that I faced[Internal Volume] Feature failed to regenerate.The system could not create closed volume.Recommended actions:First, check the selection of bounding surfaces. Make sure all the surfaces that bound the volume are selected. Remove irrelevant surfaces from the selection. Then, check the selection of seed surfaces. Make sure seed surfaces are selected from the volume envelopes. Avoid selecting surfaces with multipleouter edge loops. Make sure that each opening to close must be surrounded by a single surface, either a boun

When I perform Edit Definition on the selected section of Creo model in Creo, Creo crash's"Exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread 16452."

Hello all, I am getting this error while trying to mesh in Creo flow 10.0.3. 'No valid surface selected for surfaces in property panel' Can anyone shine any light on what this means? I can't seem to find any settings that can progress me past this point. Thanks all,

Hi guys, I wanted to simulate a part we have build, its a flexure hinge (see pic 1 and 2). How it works: As one spread the two ligaments by the screw on the input-side, one will tilt the outputside as indicated by the orange lines. The input is in mm and the output in degree, respectively. as You can see in pic 3 the real-world model matches the mathematical (geometric) model very well, but if I try to simulate it by applying a force to spread the ligaments the values for the slope on outputside are far away from reality. Even more, when I plot output vs input of real-world data I get a parabolic curve, as expected, but when I plot the data from simulation I get a straight line!!! Why? Have someone a clue, whats going on here?   -I use Creo 9.0, -For the simulation I applied several forces (100, 1000,2000...5000)N and measured the displacement (in Y direction) of the upper and lower ligament to have an equivalent for the input of the real-world-part which is in mm -and the displac

I have a line style question when I print out to PDF.On the B size format the part prints out with more dashes and dots. (see image)On the G size format the part prints out with less dashes and dots. (see image)Does anyone know how I can get the part on a G size sheet to look more like the part on the B size?The pen tables are the same, and the way I exported the drawing to PDFs are the exact same.This leads me to believe that the format is driving the way the part looks, sound right?Thanks in advance for your help.

First, can I use the VB API to export all sheets of a drawing to a 2D DXF? If yes, I can send over my code and go from there. 

Using Creo Parametric 10.0.2.0 Commercial. I have created one quarter of a sketch that I want perfectly to my specifications. The other three quarters should simply be a copy and rotate of 90, 180, and 270 degrees of the first quarter. The final sketch should then just be joining them together in a circle to close the sketch. Then, I want to create the part by extruding this sketch. I successfully copy and paste my construction lines, my center point reference, and my actual lines.I successfully rotate it 90 degrees. The issue is, I can't get the end points to snap to each other to create a closed sketch! My sketch is essentially a 90 degree arc with radius of 62.5 mm, but the first part of the arc is removed for a slot that goes into the circle. I have tried clicking and dragging, but the point is the center point of the sketch which won't snap to where I need that center point to be. I tried setting the vertical and horizontal dimensions going from

Hi all,I'm struggling to find a solution to an apparently simple problem. I have a repeat region listing parts, whose indexes have been "fixed" to remain always #1 , #2 and #3 (in the desired order).Now, component #2 has been replaced with another part (different part number) and so the BoM table is now listing items #1 and #3 (associated to the same p/n as before), leaving a gap inbetween; the new item, which replaces #2 is now listed as #4 because it's the first available index. I thought I could simply fix index for the item which is now #4 and assign #2, but I get an error because index #2 is already assigned! But I can't unfix it, because it's not possible to select it (its row in the table does not exist anymore). Does anybody know how to work this around, without deleting and recreating the table? Thanks. (I simplified the example on purpose, but this scenario might apply also to assemblies with 100+ parts, where recreating the table from scratch is not an option)

I cannot seem to add a form with .designer.vb, .resx, and a .vb file to the VB API Examples project using, Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 (2).  Is there another tool used to build and import other forms?  Am I using the wrong environment? Thank you,Cody

Dear PTC-Community, I have been stuck with a design challenge and come to you as my last resort of maybe finding a smarter solution to my problem. I'm using creo 9.0.3.0. I'm trying to put 0.6mm holes which are 1.2mm apart from each other trough a body that is "twisted" in space. (It is part of a fan blade)(view in My Videos) I want the holes to enter the part on one surface and exit on the opposing one. They need to follow the geometry, but the entry and exit surfaces are not parallel to one another. My best approach so far was to make a row of profiles on a plane perpendicular to the direction in one corner of the part and use the "Pattern" - "Curve" function, selecting one of the edges as the reference curve. I also choose the option "follow the surfaces", and select the entry and exit surface. I hope the following screenshots make my process more easy to follow. It's difficult to explain, what I want to archieve.Profiles on the top, following the top left edge o

I’m working on a project where I need to retrieve the view matrix or camera position from Creo using the API. Can anyone guide me on how to do this?Specifically, I’m looking to:1. Access the view matrix of a specific view.2. Obtain the camera (or eye) position for a given view.If you have any code examples, API functions, or documentation links that could help, I’d greatly appreciate it!Thank you. Creo 4.0 M150Toolkit C++

Hi, I've done a direction pattern with respect to the blue directions (of another object of the assembly) in the picture.  With relations, I want to invert the direction of the pattern in relation to the constraint of the first object of the pattern.  Wich is the command that I have to insert afther the if conditions in the following relations?  Thanks a lot. Michele Barile 

I am looking to be able to trim or cut a section of an imported facet feature in creo 10 and need help. I am looking to cut the surface section in purple from the blue faceted feature. Thank you.   

I've been tasked to determine if it is possible to annotate (modify) our present UDFs to include annotations that will show up in an MBD model. Currently we can place the UDF, a counterbore hole, for example, on the model . However, then we must dimension the UDF manually in the combination state. Is there a way to attach the callout to a UDF so it becomes integral with the combination state?I suppose this would be applicable to a non-MBD part also. Can the callout be attached to the UDF when the UDF is placed on a part?Our UDFs are all Stand Alone also and we use Creo 9.3.  Thanks for any guidance!

The "Export to ANSYS Mechanical Format" command is not working. I am able to "Save Simulation Data" as a .apr file in the below folder. However, when i try to export the .casdat file using the Export to Ansys Mechanical Format command, the status bar says that it saves successfully, but no .casdat file appears in that folder.    

I want to change the File Name with the Common name in the Model Tree.I can expand the model tree with the Common name but not switch them. Does anyone know if and how it is possible to do that?

Add centreline/symmetry line/crosshair   Hello,   I'm looking for a function to display or add a centreline/symmetry line or crosshair of a hole/round element. The crosshairs are not displayed using "Show model annotations". Actually exactly what is described right at the beginning of this guide for Creo Elements: https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/ced_modeling/r20.7.0.0/de/index.html#page/ced_modeling/OSDM_Annotation/am_aux_geop2.html   In the screenshot I have inserted the crosshair whose function I am looking for in green.   I use Creo 9.0.8.0   Translated by the moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mittellinie/ Symmetrielinie/ Fadenkreuz hinzufügen   Hallo, ich suche nach einer Funktion, eine Mittellinie/ Symmetrielinie bzw. ein Fadenkreuz einer Bohrung/ eines runden Elements anzuzeigen oder hinzuzufügen.

Hello  am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0I saw this video, i tried the same method as you explained in my system with example i could not get the different color in drawing I have tried using different appearanceCould you please help me on this.  For example, I have created new rep, new appreance and I have even created new combined state in view manager as shown in video but which ever combined state is active only that that colors are visible mode. 

Hello, Is it possible to redefine/ modify pattern table using Creo toolkit C++? I am trying to update the dimensions using Ptb file which is used for read function of pattern table.  I am having issue to build element tree of this pattern table and to define first instance of this. Is there any sample code for it? 

I'm working with ME'scope and Creo Parametric 11.  ME'scope can export structure files in either .UFF (Universal File Format) or ASCII Text (.txt) files.  I don't see a way to import either of these into Creo.  I want to be able to modify the parts from ME'scope so that I don't have to re-design them in Creo from scratch.  I know I can import a Parasolid to Creo, but I don't know if selecting that option with the ASCII spreadsheet (.txt) file will work.  I thought I would ask the question before wasting time on experiments that may not work.  

Hello,I have multiple skeleton in my assembly. I use to ProAsmSkeletonGet() to retrieve skeleton as ProMdl Skel. It retrieves first skeleton from model. I want to get also the next skeletons to perform operations on feature in it. Can anyone one suggest how do I retrieve second skeleton with help of ProAsmSkeletonGet() or any similar function to perform operation on feature in other skeleton in same assembly.

I have encountered an issue that I cannot seem to solve, when working with sheetmetal parts. The sheetmetal part has different features to be placed 360 degrees around a cylindrical object, for laser engraving purposes. So the thickness of the sheetetal is on paper irrelevant - so ideally so thin it is just visible on the assembly.The dimensions of the sheetmetal part matches the diameter of the object and so does the features on it - atleast theoretically. The sheetmetal bend is set to 360 degrees and to keep the dimensions on the inside of the bend.But, when assembling the sheetmetal with the cylindrical object, I get small inaccuracies on the technical drawing of the assembly - the angles between the features do no longer match, which is an issue on the given task.I have found out that changing the thickness of the sheetmetal impacts the position of the features, even though the part is set to keep the dimensions on the inside of the bend, and I do not know why. I am worki

Hi all,   As the title suggests, I don't know if deleting my creo_parametric_customization.UI file is my only option in getting to do my work using Creo Parametric 10.0.1.0   Things worked fine yesterday.  But this morning, if I don't delete the UI file, the software crashes after showing the splash screen. Traceback.log suggests "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"     If I delete the creo_parametric_customization.UI file, software works fine.  But my ribbon and quick-toolbar customizations are gone... And attempting to import them from the backup .UI causes a fatal error crash.   Any suggestions?   I suppose it is wise to keep a backup of a (working) creo_parametric_customization.UI file...
