Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.4.0Is there a better way to create a visible area on a view using shapes, or datum planes rather than just using splines that you have to free hand draw?Another question I have, is when drawing with splines, can you create a hard, one point turn if you're trying to create a square for example?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0I am having an issue when I post my program using NC post processor (Glidemaster Lathe with Fanuc Control). I am able to post the file but the file is not imputing any decimal points in the program. I have looked under “File Formats” – “General Address Output” but am still not able to get the program to output with decimal points. Additionally, I only have the issue in my Lathe post processor.

I am looking for help in basic MANUAL wire and cable routing for Creo 10. I am trying to self-teach but it’s become clear that I will need some level of formal direction. I am not working from any wire drawings or downloads that automatically populate the paths from an electrical engineered schematic etc... I need only to represent the 3D layout of the wire routes in the top-level assembly and transfer to a 2D drawing for visual representations used in Installation Drawings only. I have midlevel modeling, assembly and detailed drawing skills to aid in my learning for this. Currently my greatest challenges are orienting my CSYS so that my Z axis (Assuming Z is a default connection for a wire path) is positioned in line to accept my desired wire path orientation. There does not appear to be any way to edit the CSYS which seems to orient randomly when placed. If I do try to edit and click on a since created centerline, it will loop it from the original Z axis pick, (90 degrees off my

When I use create dimension in the drawing without checking out the CAD model, the dimension goes missing in the drawing after check-in. Why this is happening?

When user adds a drawing to his workspace, opens the drawing, opens the model from the drawing, hidden external sketches appear.  The same is not true if the model is opened directly (not thru the drawing).  Sketches are hidden just the way the model was saved.- Sketches are on a Hidden layer in both drawing and model- Config option 'autohide_external_sketch yes' has been added.  No change in function.- Once model is opened and sketches show, if you select one sketch 'show' then hide it again, they all will hide as in the original model. I have tried opening this in Creo without any config options and get the same results. For the user to create the screen shots for different publications, they must first fix the model before creating the screen shots. or clear the workspace, load the model and open the model directly. 

Is there a document that explains all of the trail file functionality in depth? I can only seem to find top level information but looking for something that actually describes the details of functions

Creo version 10.0.3.0Datum Plane is modeled through a sketched point and parallel to another plane. The sketched point moves to a different position after a dimension change and model regeneration. Plane does not update position after model is regenerated, and related features crash. After "redefine" is used to enter Datum Plane creation dialogue box, "OK" is selected without any change to feature definition.Plane then updates position as expected and failed features resolve by themselves.

*Using Creo 10 currently* The background on this is I have an assembly with a bunch of parts that are only slightly different in geometry and the material, finish, etc. are all the same. The general notes on the drawing will be the same too. So this is is essentially what I'm trying to do: I would love to create one annotation feature (possible in a notebook) that can be read by all of these parts to create their general notes on the drawing. That way, If I need to update the notes at any point, I can do it in one place (again, seems like something  a notebook could do but I've tried to no avail) and update with a regeneration instead of going into all of the text and updating individually.  Is this possible? Even so, would it be too much work on the front end to set up?

Is there a way to write the spiral curve equation in a cylindrical coordinate system in  such a way that the pitch is zero in the beginning and the end so that the curve starts and ends tangent to the start and endplanes that are normal to the trajectory center axis?

Hello, i am using creo 10 and when i try to regenerate and then save the drawing, the window says not responding.see attached error page. Br,sandeep c.

Hi Guys,I have one main assembly that has one drawing and also I include my sub-assembly and component drawing based on sheets. Can we convert it into individual drawings based on the 3D model name? Regards,Aj

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0Creo user is experiencing long delays opening up Creo files. Sometimes longer than 3-4 minutes. Mainly solid models. Sheetmetal models appear to be better.

Utilizing the same configuration files and settings: If I start Creo without the trail file being automatically run and run it manually it works perfectly.  Server Management - Without Trail File Ran Automatically  If I start Creo with the same trail file being run automatically the saved server is no longer shown. The trail file seems to run correctly as the second blank tab is opened successfully. Server Management - With Trail File Ran Automatically Not sure what is causing this. Trail file is very simple as it just opens a second blank tab currently.~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `EMBED_BROWSER_SMARTAB_LAYOUT_buttons_lay_ph.pshNewPage_inside` 1~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `EMBED_BROWSER_SMARTAB_LAYOUT_buttons_lay_ph.page_0` 1~ Trail `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `SmartTabs` \`selectButton main_dlg_cur@EMBED_BROWSER_SMARTAB_LAYOUT_buttons_lay page_0 0` The shortcut target is set to the following:"C:\<INSTALL_PATH>\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe" "C:\

Existe algum documento que descreva o que é perdido ao mudar do Creo Parametric para o Siemens NX? Um cliente de 20 anos deseja mudar, e precisamos de argumentos para neutralizar essa mudança. Alguém poderia me ajudar com um documento oficial da PTC ou algum comentário que possa ser usado em defesa?

Issue is that with each Creo+ update, the "Start in" setting is reset to the default.

Hello, We recently changed the network in our organisation. The server holding licences for creo didn't change, it just change network. Although the server is up and we can ping it, people can't access their licenses. Here is the creo error message and the result of ptcstatus.bat on the user side.And here is the result of ptcstatus.bat on the server side :

I have a stencil that I'm adding to an assembly just to show it graphically and I want the weight of the part to be zero.  Is there a way to assign a weight to a part that has the mass parameter locked?

In our company, creating raw materials lists for projects (like product A) is a time-consuming manual process. Our estimator has to go through every single part in a CAD model from Creo to figure out how much sheet metal, bars, and pipes we'll need. This is especially tedious for our low-volume, high-mix production. Is there a better way?Ideally, we did like to extract raw material dimensions (highlighted in red in the table below) directly from the Creo 3D model parameters. This seems like a common need for manufacturers – how are you all handling material estimation with Creo and Windchill? Looking to automate this process and free up our estimator's time for more valuable tasks. So far I have tried to fix Height/Diameter/Thickness column through Material Library(mtl file). Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated!    

I'm wotking on an FEA model and making geometry changes to address high stress area. Everything had been going smoothly, but I'm now getting a fatal error. The model meshes and all appears to be good, but it won't run. Below is the message in the *.err file. It seems to refer to a link and specific edges. It looks like a geometry problem, but I don't know how to find it. I don't know of a way to search for the link or edges by an ID number.   There are no diagnostic messages when I generate the mesh.   Does anyone have a suggestion?    

Hi everyoneI was trying to use distributed batch to export form .drw to .pdf.I faced a problem that this symbol can't show up properly while using distributed batch featureHow it looks in .drwWhen I export in manually, one by one When I try to use distributed batch.Everything is ok except this one. Glad anyone can help me.Thanks in advance.

In Creo 3 i can create a "Stock Model" to get the remaining material after a NC Sequence.How can i set it as Real stock for next sequences?For example: first sequence is a Volume Roughing with a tool dia 20mmI would like to create a new volume using the same mill window but limiting it to the remaining material of first sequenceI don't want to use Roughing and Re-Roughing 😄I cannot replace the starting workpiece with his worked component of the familytable inside NCI can save Stock Model as prt or stl, why i cannot use it for example for further operations?Thanks a lotOsvaldo

Hi All,What I am trying to acheive is to create a text string and symbol to be used as an item from the sketcher palette. The scenario is this. I want be able to create sketch palette item which has a cavity number id reference # and the part number.However when I create the sketch for this and want to add text, it does not give me the option to add the parameter it only gives a text option. If I add the parameter name in the text box and save this to the sketcher palette. When I call up this sketch from the sketcher palette in a part, I do not get the part number from the parameter in the model, I just get the text ( &part_number).The part number is a parameter in my start part and subsequent modelled parts. The only way I can get this to work is to insert this sketch from the palette and then edit the inserted sketch by selecting the parameter.Is there a way to add the parameter to the sketch in the palette section, without the need to do a secondary edit. Any
