Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.01. When adding one-sided contour tolerance, a red line and warning message appear (see attached image)2. How to move the reference datum?

Hi All,Any ideas how to get the number of Pattern Members when using a Point Pattern? I'm not looking to drive the number of Points in the Sketch with this, it's display only. Use case is an irregular pattern of holes, and everything works fine except I don't have a way to add the number of holes to the hole callout. On a Dimension (and Table Pattern I think) this shows up as a parameter that can be added.Thanks in Advance

Hello! I need to modify display style usingJ-link.But I don't find any API.

I am using creo 8.0.Working in assembly , when I create new component I don't  see option of 'Leave the component un placed' which is usually on highlighted section. How can I turn it on ?   Below is image I found on website

Hello, is it possible to set the Remove feature with "Leave open" mode checked by default? Sometimes I leave it unchecked by mistake and start collecting surface patches, but Creo slows down trying to calculate ways of closing the quilt. If possible, I would set the Creo config with "Leave open" checked (also, I prefer to uncheck it after selecting a bunch of patches, instead of waiting each time a new patch is added). Thank you in advance.

Dear Forum Members, I am seeking detailed information about the APIs used by Creo Parametric for enhancing visualization, rendering, and potentially GPU computing. This information is crucial for me to select the optimal hardware for using the software. Specifically, I would like to know:Does Creo Parametric utilize renderers that exclusively support CUDA or OptiX?Are there functions within Creo Parametric optimized for GPU acceleration (particularly using CUDA), such as for Finite Element Methods (FEM)?If such functions are implemented, are they exclusively optimized for Nvidia hardware, or is there support for GPUs from other manufacturers as well?Additionally, is there a minimum or recommended hardware build? I am currently picking the parts for my PC, and this information is very critical. We are now useing creo 10.0.4.0 with WC12, we are alwys a year behind the newest gen (We always start at X.0.4.0)Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can pro

I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.2.0 Background: I am an experienced Electrical Engineer, have used AutoCAD my whole career, mostly 2-D but have done 3-D objects. I recently learned Altium and have done 2-D and 3-D modeling there. I have used Creo to view objects in the past as well as creating assemblies with pre-existing 3-D models. In short, I have background in CAD and 3-D modeling, and in Creo, but not in Creo 3-D modeling from scratch. However, today I have been asked for the first time to create a 3-D model in Creo - and I am struggling. I am starting with the simplest model imaginable, but I have yet to grasp it. I just need a flat panel. The panel is a flat rectangle with small rectangular "ears" with a thickness of 1.5 mm.. I created a sketch of 3 rectangles: one large and two small rectangles each on the center of the long side. Should be easy, I should just need to extrude it with a dimension of 1.5 mm at this point. Obviously, extrude from surface is the

Good day to you sir I am trying to solve a similar situation for an intermediate shaft in a 2-stage gearbox but not modal analysis rather a simple von Mises  static analysis on the whole shaft length, would like to know how to adapt these loads and constraints and other idealizations to run a similar case, is it necessary to idealize all the whole bearing Assembly like this or just adding 2 spring idealization and a weighted link to the surface area of the acting bearing suffice, as far as the simulation is on the shaft, the consideration of gear teeth doesn't matter so applying torque on the disk with pitch diameter is satisfactory right ? i would like to know how to apply idealized torque on these 2 helical gears while i have 2 fixed bearing holding this shaft and enduring a preload in between. regards

First of all, this is my first MDO project. It is all relatively new for me.I want to get axial reaction forces in a frame of a cylinder housing in order to simulate vibrations.I used 4 pin constraints and created measures on them. They work fine in radial directions, but not in axial direction. Only 1 constraint reacts, no matter what loads I apply.I tried both with a constant force on the piston as a torque motor on the drive-shaft. Most of you Creo guru's will recognize the model.. Which mechanism constrain do I need to get all the reaction forces? The shaft makes 1 revolution in 0.06 sec. Model attached (engine.asm)

So I wrote a java program to read some tables. However now I want it tomodify the tables to add text and parameters to specific tables using afunction like in the manual. like this: writeTextInCell (theTable, 5, 2, "REV"); (for text writeTextInCell (theTable, 5, 3, "&asm.mbr.PROI_REVISION"); (forthe parameter)In the end, I run the script, a window pops up expecting me to click on atable, I click on the table, two extra columns are added and the bottomcolumn is merged. However I get no text.Anyone knows how to add text to a cell??thanksregardsAlfonsoHere are the important parts on this complete breakfast: currentModel = (Model2D) model; tables = currentModel.ListTables(); TableCell cell1,cell2; Table theTable = null; String cellName; SelectionOptions selops=null; Selections sel = null; selops = pfcSelect.SelectionOptions_Create("dwg_table"); selops.SetMaxNumSels(new Integer(1)); sel = session.Select(selops,null); sel.get(0).UnHighlight(); theTable = (Table)sel.get(0).GetSelItem(); w

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0First I should point out that I have been using Creo since early ProE. I have generated thousands (literally) of drawings.I have a plate with some holes, some tapped and some not. I am not able to show the threads on the tapped holes.

Has anyone had luck with table.settext?  For me it's breaking and a try/catch isn't throwing the error message.  The table is generating up to this point.I know it's breaking because if I moved the mergeregion after the settext, that doesn't work, and the rest of my code isn't running either.Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks! var dwgTable = drawing.CreateTable (tabinstrs); var topLeft = pfcCreate ("pfcTableCell").Create (1, 1); var bottomRight = pfcCreate ("pfcTableCell").Create (1, 5); dwgTable.MergeRegion (topLeft, bottomRight, null); try { dwgTable.SetText(1, 1 , "CONN NAME PART NUMBER"); } catch (err) {   alert("Error setting text in table cell"); }

Dear PTC Community,I am currently trying to obtain a selected driving dimension from the selection buffer in my Creo session. My current approach is to start by getting the current selection buffer: pfcSession_ptr _session = pfcGetProESession(); pfcSelectionBuffer_ptr selBuffer = _session->GetCurrentSelectionBuffer(); Then, I list and iterate over the selected items and filter out all selected annotation elements: pfcSelections_ptr currentSelections = selBuffer->GetContents(); size_t sizeSelection = currentSelections->getarraysize(); for (xint i = 0; i < sizeSelection; i++) { pfcSelection_ptr selection = currentSelections->get(i); pfcModelItem_ptr item = selection->GetSelItem(); if (item->GetType() == pfcITEM_ANNOTATION_ELEM) { wfcAnnotationElement_ptr anno = wfcAnnotationElement::cast(item); wfcAnnotationType annoType = anno->GetAnnotationType(); if (annoType == wfcANNOTATION_DIMENSION) { [...] } } } However, in line 10 where I call

I'm trying to change the Text tool in the sketcher so that a certain font and alignment is used every time. I can create a mapkey, but if I continue to make a second text item the settings go back to the default. Is there a way to change this? I didn't see any options in the config editor.

Is it possible to import drawing page creo into a new drawing Creo Parametric but with associativity ?With the functionnalitie import drawing/data is possible to insert a specific page in my new drawing buth without linkMaybe option or specific application?Thank you  

Hi,I have a drawing with a model that has a inherited model (not sure if that matters).I am trying to change the crosshatching but in Layout tab, the crosshatching is unable to be selected.I also changed the crosshatching on the cross-section in the model, but it does not update on the drawing. Is there any other way to change crosshatching when it is unselectable on the drawing?

Prior to CREO 6, I can install a new release of CREO on my machine and create a 7zip archive.  Users can extract this archive and install this on their machine without using the software center or requiring local admin rights.  With the new releases now, you have to run the creoagent (creosvcs_64.exe) which requires admin rights.  PTC support stated that this is not a supported method, and not offering any workarounds.   I believe some folks are still using this method for their deployment.  Just curious how I can do this for our CREO 10 deployment and not have to rely on the software center.  Thank you all in advance! Calvin

I am running Creo 10. I have both Creo Live Simulation (powered by Ansys) and Creo Ansys Simulation. I noticed that under setup in Creo Live simulation, I am able to select "Scope". However, when I look for this option in Creo Ansys Simulation, I don't see it. It'd be convenient to be able to exclude unnecessary components, but still be able to run a more robust Ansys simulation. Is this option available somewhere that I'm not noticing?

Hello,I have to display a BOM table on the drawing.Default the table will display POS number and Quantity of the item e.g.: POS 20  Qty 2     (each)In this case I have added a tape to the ASSY, which is also displayed in the model and it will beadded in the assembling stage from roll.Is it possible to change the BOM table to e.g.: POS 20 Qty 2 cm ?I can create a bulk item, but that is not visible in the model and the drawing.An other way is to create a part which displays 2 cm tape, but in that case I have created a separate item, which more or less produced before the assembling action.Any idea how to implement this?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0Hello,I would like to create a PDF which contains a drawing in format 8-1/2 by 11 (A) and a format 11 by 17 (B), in the same drawing.example: page 1 is of format A and page 2 is of format B.Except that, when printing if the format A page is first, the second page which is format B will be compressed into format A.So, is it possible to create a PDF document and have the first page come out in format A and the second page come out in format B.

Hi Guys,Can we use the "Excel Analysis" to get a parameter value into excel if I change it in excel it'll update in the 3D model. it's possible Regards,AJ

here is an example

Is there a way to save a view in a drawing as a combination state in the model without manually creating it in the model?

I'm running Creo 10 with a Creo Ansys Simulation add-in / license. I have a fairly simple setup with two circular plates touching each other. I've intentionally omitted screens of the parts for proprietary purposes, but the feature tree is below. For some reason, when I try to generate a mesh using a Free contact, it fails. But if I change it to a Frictionless contact, then generate the mesh, then switch back to a Free contact, then re-generate the mesh, it works... I'm not sure if this is a glitch or if I'm just missing something... Below shows the steps of how I'm able to turn on and off the issue: 1) Contact is Free initially, Generate mesh > Mesh Fails2) Change contact to Frictionless, Re-generate mesh > Mesh Succeeds3) Change contact back to Free, Re-generate mesh > Mesh Succeeds4) Change mesh size to low5) Steps 1 thru 3 occur again6) Change mesh size to medium7) Steps 1 thru 3 occur again
