Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Is it possible to import datum points  in Creo model  stored  in .pts format file using Creo Toolkit C++ Programming. Which functions and libraries can be used to import it. TIA.

I would like to create a parameter that stores the previous part number or name of the part that the part was saved from.  For example if I have a part "Gear1.prt" and I save as to a new part "Gear2.prt" I want to store a parameter when doing a save-as that says "Gear1".  That way users that perform a save as automatically have a history of where this design was made from.  It can be useful when going through a parts history.   I don't want to make it a type in parameter because users would forget to add this information. Does anybody have any insights into how this could be done?  

The Creo Parametric software is multi-cad. Which extensions does it open natively?Is there a document that shows this?

Hi Guys, Im running a simulation that is running based off of the subassembly sets of heat load and convection boundaries. For example:Assembly 1 has 1 heat load, with 7 conv boundary conditionsAssembly 2 has 1 heat load with 4 conv boundary conditionsAssembly 3 has 1 heat load with 3 conv boundary conditionsthese Heat loads and convection boundaries were added to the sub assemblies, the new assembly of these 3 has not had any additional heat loads added. how do i run a thermal analysis with all 3 heat loads working together.  It seems like the only issues are the 3 heat loads. The convection boundaries seem to run fine. It wants me to choose a single load set for the new assembly. It will not allow me to use all 3 load sets at once.  

Hello: I have several sets of constraints for a part, when I active ptc_constraint_set parameter , sets are displayed as per attached image , but sets drop down shows only one set at a time. Is there a way such that all sets available can be displayed under drop down for ease of selection. Thanks  

When reordering Model Tree, It is too easy to accidentally move part to subassembly (Can take long time to undo). Creo should ask confirmation when user clicks Expand All, because it takes so long with large assemblies.Actually I have never needed to use expand all, but i sometimes accidentally click it when i try to click Collapse All. Btw. why Measure -tool is so slow unless you use selection filter?

Hi all, My R&D department have a request for which I cannot find a solution .We are in CREO 7.0.2.0 and we want to show it in MBD. We can attach the datum to the surface, but not aligned it to the dimension (as per the following pic)How can we do it?The 10° dim is a 3D dimension from the sketch. ThanksBest Regards 

Some of us are on 7.0 and some on 8.0, but no one can seem to get the MIDNIGHT theme to load as default on start up.    We can get the DARK or LIGHT or DEFAULT themes to load, and we can do custom as well, we just cannot get the MIDNIGHT to load.  We have even tried loading the MIDNIGHT theme, then changing a graphics color in order for the menus to all switch to CUSTOM, and then saving that creo_parametric_customization.ui file in our start in location.   But nope... shows it is a Custom theme but menu colors are all the DEFAULT theme.Thanks in advance.  

Hello,The following PTC article details how to obtain references from Annotation elements,https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS289474However this only is viable for annotation references of the type: PRO_ANNOT_REF_SINGLE: /*---------------------------------------------------------------------*\ get the references for the AE \*---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ status = ProAnnotationelemReferencesCollect(&elem, PRO_ANNOTATION_REF_ALL, PRO_ANNOT_REF_FROM_ALL, &ann_ref); int num_refs; status = ProArraySizeGet(ann_ref,&num_refs); for (int i = 0;i < num_refs;i++)//all references of selected item { if (ann_ref[i].type != PRO_ANNOT_REF_SINGLE) continue; //proceed this loop only if the single reference is NOT a PRO_ANNOT_REF_CRV_COLLECTION or PRO_ANNOT_REF_SRF_COLLECTIONHow could the surface ID's be obtained for type PRO_ANNOT_REF_SRF_COLLECTION (or even PRO_ANNOT_REF_CRV_COLLECTION )?Thank you.

I am creating a hole table through datum points like feature name "POINT" & its "X,Y,Z" measurement through cs_o but when datum points go beyond 9  for e.g. "PNT9" then it sort by again first digit means it will go like 1 then 10,11,2,3,4 likewise (refer snap for more details).I have tried to increase decimal point from 1 but it won't get sort out.Need help to how to sort this double digit figures in ascending order & Is there any way to make this hole table parametric if point location is updating it will directly show on table without adding it again.  Hoping for the solution from PTC! 🤞Application :- Creo 10 Paramertic 

Hi,   We need to find the stress when the part is twisted at an angle. It's shown in the capture-1 below that a motor powers the pocket at one end, while the other end has a stopper. load (capture 2) & constrains (capture 3), kindly advise me on how to calculate the stress values at various angles?  Plastic is the material that is used & currently I am using Creo 7   Thanks      

Please no snark.  I struggle finding useful info on creo forums. I have done my due diligence.  We have a C size drawing that the left and bottom margins are off the page.  I have struggled with how to even ask this question.  I am aware there are differences between format and template, but I don't know where to start.  I just want to "rightsize" our C drawing template to export with correct margins, not offset as they are now.

Hi,I'm work in Creo parametric users Support team user in an industrial Company and i was a question about the scale on 3D model. Few users ask question to see in an 3D model windows a dynamic scale reference show in a corner like to possible in others CAO Software.Thanks for your help

Hello,I need to lend a CREO license for 30 days, do you have a procedure on how to do that?

Hello I have a problem with calculating model in Creo Simulate. The only difference of those models is mesh size. Solution on the left has no AutoGEM controm featuresSolution on the right has applied Maximum size AutoGEM control globally 25mm and locally on contact regions 7mm.Why it doesn't converge when AutoGEM has been applied applied? 

Creo parametric 7.0.0.0 No windchillJava toolkitUser case:1. Creo window 1: opened assembly in creo like this:top.asm.1|--------sub1.asm.1               |--------part.prt.12.Creo window 2: opened  assembly in creo like this:sub1.asm.1               |--------part.prt.13.Creo window 3: opened part in creo like this:part.prt.13.Put the latest version files(sub1.asm.2 part.prt.2) into the file directory;Question:1.Which API can load the latest or specified file version without close the window 1,2,3;2.Do not close all the files and reload ,because the feeling is not good;3.The best way I want :Load only the necessary new version files.Thanks!

Pro web.link   There is no console controller of the embeded browser of the creo parametric.   How can I debug my web.link scripts?

I want to add an additional leader to my drawing on the outside radius dimension to call out the internal radius with it.   How can I add the additional leader?  

Is it possible to have 2 Creo sessions running in parallel with the 1st session connected to Windchill and the 2nd one working in local? Creo Parametric 7.0.2.0 As soon as I connect one session, the other session is connected. It's exactly the same behaviour when I disconnect one of them from Windchill. 

I want to assign only the first 7 characters of parameter (string) to another parameter. How can I do that via relations?.Creo 9

Hello, I have generated a new Schematics license, when the machines try to access it this error appears, what can I do?

Hello,  Since a week, my Creo display is with wide spacing between lines. (see the document in attachment) Do you have an answer how to get back to normal space? Thanks,Luc

I have connected the Pro/Library to our Windchill, where we have all our company library parts.But the standard library view shows only the part number all part attributes are missing. But it is nearly useless for the users because they cant see nearly nothing when searching for parts. Is there a way to bring more views (the windchill views) into library? 

Hi, I have developed some mechanism in Creo4 by linking to the parameters and it was working fine.Now we have updated to Creo8 and when I try to update my expression it shows "entered value is invalid". Could you please support on this issue, thanks.
