Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Using Creo 9.0....I have some legacy parts that were named with the description parameter and all my new parts have been named with ptc_common_name parameter. Is there a way for my drawing parts list to pull either name if i have an assembly with both new and legacy parts? I was thinking of adding a repeat region relation that is along the lines of the code below. Also, i don't want to modify the original part files. Is there a way to do this because my way isn't working. /NAME is new drawing parameter for the name columnIf description existsNAME = asm.mbr.descriptionendifIf ptc_common_name existsNAME = asm.mbr.ptc_common_nameendif

When modifying a .hol file, I'd like to specify the drill depth to more precision than 0.1. I have tried the following:  &DRILL_DEPTH[.01] however it still rounds to the nearest 0.1. I am using Creo Parametric 8.0.8

Is there a way for Creo to automatically generate a drawing tree? I'm not talking about the assembly drawing tree in Creo interface. In ASME Y.14.24 Types and Applications of Engineering Drawings, section 16, there's a Drawing Tree section. I'm talking about this. I attached the screenshot of it here. I have to make this drawing tree, and we have a lot of parts. It just doesn't make much sense to do it manually if Creo already has a feature for this. Thank you so much!

so I'm familiar with the help docs and other items in the help/support site on setting up a pen table (table.pnt)  but is there a specific "color" callout for cable part files?  or is it all wrapped up under pen 1? I dont want to set PEN 1 to black because ive got other entities on the drawing i want to have in color. Ive tried isolating the quilt_color to a unique pen and that doesn't work.  Any thoughts?  Or should I file an enhancement?

As per the original post.    Newbie here. How  can I increase the font size in the "Message Log Bar". Also, need to increase font size in dimensioning dialog in modelling.  I think I lost my config settings when i tried to fix myself. See screenshots.

I need to move an assembly to a new file location (new tooling project). When I save a copy and rename the assembly, none of the parts or drawings move over. I don't want to rename the parts, because the current part #'s are established.Is there a way to move over a full assembly with parts and drawings without renaming parts and moving each part and drawing individually?Currently using Creo 4.0 I don't have access to Windchill, but the company does have a Windchill licenses if needed.

Any can help me regarding this case 

  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140H team, i want to relocate the dimension attachement point. i used this ProSelectionDimWitnessLineGet but its not working. kindly help me to over come this issue. thank you

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0custom map keys not working after new creo install. creo_parametric_customization.ui file did not change.start up load directory the same.

Hello,I'm using Creo Parametric 10.0 and I have a quesiton.Is it possible to have table on the drawing with lengths of each profile?Example how I want this table to look like:2 PCS | Profile 50x30x2 | 250 mm3 PCS | Profile 30x30x2 | 150 mm1 PCS  | Profile 30x30x2 | 120 mmI've created generic profile model with instances and I'm changing lenght of it by "making it flexible".I want to have this "flexible" length in table.Is it possible? Thank you all for your help.

This error occurs when we try to access the LV Wiring assembly model in our top level model.  Any suggestions on a solution?Regards

Hello everyone, I cannot for the life of me find a way to use custom symbols I created. I created a symbol using "define symbol", but when I go to use it in "symbol", it is not there. At my last company, I was able to select "custom symbol", but it's not giving me that option here. Thank you in advance.  

Hi!  I'm Johannes, and I'm currently writing my master's thesis on a Creo Parametric project that I developed during an internship at a company with a commercial license in Creo. Now that I have finished the internship and am no longer employed by the company, I still need access to my Creo files for screenshots and dimensions from the assembly. I downloaded the student version of Creo 9 but cannot open the files I created with the commercial licence. Is there any way or workaround to open the commercial files with the student version? Or is there an affordable licence for about 1 or 2 weeks to upgrade my student licence, allowing me to open the CAD files created with the commercial licence? I hope someone can help me! Kind regards Johannes 

We can manually control whether a parameter is designated in the parameter interface.   I want to know if we can control whether a parameter is designated or not through another parameter.   Like, When Control_parameter==YES, Parameter A is designated. When Control_parameter==NO, Parameter A is not designated.    

The "branch" command does not allow me to select the line to connect the tubes, what could be happening?   (view in My Videos)

How to construct ProIDTable for the assembly component I got throgh ProSolidFeatVisit api. Need assembly component path for the collected part file. ProIDTable id_table = {Array[0].id} works for the part file collected from the top level. If the required part file present inside a subassembly, this logic fails. Tried getting asm comppath typecasting ProFeature* Array to Proselection as below, didn't work. ProSelectionAsmcomppathGet((ProSelection)&Array[0], &compPath). Any ideas please?

I’m having an issue with trying to get a User defined parameter PIPE_DESCRIPTION from the linestock to the piping start part parameter DESCRIPTION.This is so when creating a pipe solid, each pipe part will have the PIPE_DESCRIPTION parameter value added to the DESCRIPTION parameter.Then I can bring this into my table BOM, along with all the other fittings and parts which have the same parameter.Is this possible or is there another way?I'm using Creo Parametric 10.0.4.0

Where is the ProRasterFileWrite API.Why can't I find it？I want to take screenshot for graphics area in Creo Parametric through toolkit.

In Creo 6.0, I am trying to create a simulation file that uses the family table to bring in the desired instance. The simulation setups (constraints, forces) fail when switching instances. I believe this is because when selecting surface regions, simulate cannot reference the feature as the part files usually do in the family table. Simulate loses the surface region reference because it is trying to access the specific feature from the specific instance where the simulation setup is created. Is there a way around this, or is this possible in newer versions of creo?

Hi, I have to import a CAD file from ALTIUM software.The CAD file is an electronic board exported by the software ALTIUM in a 25 MB .step (or 20 MB .x_t).ALTIUM can export the files format in the picture below.When I import this two types of files, they opens in a long time.How can I reduce the time of uploading of that types of CAD models?  Best regards, Michele Barile 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0Error message: "Customizing parts is not available in the standard version. Please contact your account manager to upgrade." when trying to add a fastner to an assembly. This was available for us in Creo 10.

Our requirement on the shield port/drain wire is assigned to multiconductor cable. Both sides of the cable is connected but the shield port/drain wire is terminated (connected) at one end of connector and unterminated (not connected/open) at the other end of connector. Once the unterminated shield wire is defined in schematics, it needs to be exported into XML and use it parametrically in the harness drawing without doing any additional manual work in the Creo cabling. What is the best possible solution to have a shield port/drain wire as Unterminated. We use CS 7.0 and there is a document available in PTC website. But the info is not sufficient for us to define and use the shield port/drain wire as Unterminated parametrically. Any additional information or videos can really help the users to understand better.
