Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Dear all,I'm on Creo 8.0.10.0 connected to WNC 12.0.2.10 and I'm configuring some custom AFX  profiles/connectors and equipments.With the first try with profiles I get the expected result, selecting the custom profile it will  take the autonumbering from windchill and also all parameter from start_mdl.cfg and relations from param_relations.txt.Then I tried to configure an equipment and i'm not able to have at the same time the autonumbering and the parameter populated correctly.In the customization\parts\equipment i've filtered out the equipments I dont want to see and then added to the correct subfolder the sel_list.txt to change the endcap_square from part_copy to part, in this way I'm having all the attribute/relations copied to the selected equipment but i'm not able to get the autonumbering and the part will remain with original name.To the other side if I keep the sel_list as it is, I receive the correct renumbering from Windchill but the equipment is not cont

Is there a way to have the license file inform you which PTC Flexnet license server version is required for the license file. We seen to always get caught installing an updated license file that is not supported by the license server. Then it becomes a pain to ask IT to get it upgraded.   It is also confusing that Arbortext Editor/styler/PE/ALD are not listed on the following pages https://www.ptc.com/en/support/refdoc/creo_parametric/compatibility/ptc_lms_download?_gl=1*rgy07*_ga*MTU4NDE4Njc3OC4xNzA3MTQxMzI5*_ga_7NMP2MSYPM*MTcxNzUxMjQyMC43NC4xLjE3MTc1MTMwNjUuMC4wLjA.*_ga_CBN5QVB9VJ*MTcxNzUxMzA2NC4xMjcuMC4xNzE3NTEzMDY2LjAuMC4w   https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/support/refdocs/Creo_Parametric/compatibility/PTC_LMS_Download.pdf?sc_lang=en  

I trying to run multiple sessions with the reference of VB API, but not able to do.I just want to know, Does VB API support multiple sessions??

Dear,Good dayCan you please help me to make map key as full fill below requirement. We created drawing file with parameter as below .Now I want a to create individual part  pdf & step file (drawing file having more pages ,so only one part need to convert pdf and step ) by using map key & that file name should be drawing number which I provided in parameter.      Thanks with Best Regards,Sreelal Sreevalsan  Mob: +966-571124829    

hii I have a problem during the solidification of a surface that penetrates inside a solid body. I attach the photo of the problem. I tried to fill the surface but having projected the curve onto the cylinder I can't select the surface to fill properly, could that be the problem?

When we have workspaces with 5000 to 50000 objects, start up time is more.Objective is to launch Creo faster without waiting for loading huge data on the workspace. 

We are importing PCB's using Altium CoDesigner which writes XML files to the startup directory.These XML files can be deleted once the PCB has been fully imported.Is there any way that these files could be written to its own folder like the trail files. 

I am working in WF3.I have a part in an assy. The part is a hose connecting 2 points in the assy, on fixed and one on a another part that can move within certain limits. I want to make sure that the hose will adapt its bending curve to achieve this but you have to remember that the hose must have a fixed length and only the bend angle and the radius an vary.If I could lock the bend arc length to a set value it would be easy.Fixing the hose to its known start and end points, locking the value the length of the straight (not bendable) ends I only need to lock the arc length.I can measure the arc length but have not been able to find a way to lock this value.Help! 

Creo+ 11.0.0.0-008 Changing the start in directory of the shortcut for Creo+ is not working. I am modifying the start in directory of the shortcut created on the desktop when installed. The desired path is visible in the shortcut properties but Creo+ is not starting in this directory when launched from the shortcut.    

simple question: Does anyone know why you can add materials to assemblies? You used to not be able to do this, but in Creo 5 you can. You still can't assign any material to the assembly, so what's the point of being able to add materials to it? They don't seem to be used for anything? Does anyone have a use case for this? why was this functionality added?

In Creo 10.0, items in the "Remove surfaces" field in the shell feature dialogue box cannot be replaced later using the "Edit References" command; they must be removed and reselected from within the Shell feature tool.  The "Edit References" option is greyed out when the shell feature is selected. This is unusual behavior among Creo features, in which lost surfaces can be replaced by newer surfaces by using "Edit References" without entering the feature tool after the feature has been created.  This is useful when you prefer not to redefine and reselect manually, e.g. drafted wall become straight.  I don't recall that this was the case in earlier versions.   Is it a bug?

Out of nowhere I am having an issue when trying to modify dimensions in the Sketcher.  Typically, I was able to modify dimensions by double clicking and then making the change and moving to the next, but now I am unable to do that.  When I double click the dimension will briefly highlight (like normal) then quickly closes before I can modify it.  I have been forced to always use the Modify Dimensions wheel which I used to use occasionally when locking the scale for making changes to the sketch.  Anyone experiencing this?  IS there a fix?  Any help would be greatly apprciated.Steve

Hi all, I just have a question about showing dimensions with Creo Parametric 7.0.11.0 . I know some work-arounds, but I am just curious if this is possible... When I make a driven dimension in a part file, I can show that dimension at the higher level in the assembly model. I can't, however, show that dimension in the drawing? It does work with other annotations like datums or notes, but not driven dimensions. I can get it to work if I put all of the driven dimensions in the part into an Annotation feature and then show that, but that seems like a weird workaround? Is this the intended functionality and I'm just trying to do things a weird way? Attached is some screenshots of a test assembly. Also the reason I am doing it this way is that I have an inseparable assembly with helicoils, pins, etc... and my company is still stuck with Creo 7. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, suddenly my creo started giving problems with the snap no longer taking references, I tried to load the config.pro file that I had exported previously but it still doesn't work. if I open a new project the snap works correctly

hi, i want to change the name of all parts to assembly & part number after assembly modeling ,before detailing    i saw somewhere  to do this ,they are running separate add on program.   can anyone try to help me to do the program?   regards sreelal  

Using Creo Parametric 7.0.9, is there a setting that the tabs of the combined views on the bottom of the page are ALWAYS shown? I've set the config.pro option display_combined_views to yes which is better because then they are easily accessible, BUT...When I for example click on "Edit dimensions" in a model, then the tabs are hidden, this is not a problem but what causes it is that the size of the window will get slightly larger and then the shown dimensions jump also a bit lower which causes that you just click next to the dimension you want to edit, VERY annoying..  (view in My Videos)

Hi there, I'm tring to develop a program with using Pro/Toolkit and it needs item IDs (not feature ID) for parts and detum planes.How can I see them with Creo Parametric?

good evening, I have a problem in closing the boubdary blend of this propeller. I'm trying in every way but I can't. Can anyone help me ?? Thanks

Hi all, I'm looking for best practices for including the end product assembly in a tooling assembly.  Tips on things like: Assembly mode:managing the tooling assembly combined with a (possibly) large end product assemblynot wanting the product assembly to affect the tooling BOM - simp reps? Include command?not wanting accidental changes to the product assembly while working on the tooling assembly - reference control?visual cues - product assembly distinguished from the tooling assembly Drawing mode:phantom lines for product assembly in certain views I'm the CAD admin, not a tool designer, but asking for a few of the designers in our group.  Any other considerations I might be missing? Thanks in advance! 

Hi I have a question, when you are into asm and you want open a drw of part you can with the macro or not? because if I try to open a drw of prt not open a prt but open the drw of asm   Thank You

When adding Integer 1 in unattached note in creo drawing, its printing as I, attached the Image.The same is working in my colleague's creo.Any configuration need to be done?Creo Version : 9.0.3

Is there a way to set a specific call out a specific UI file in a psf? I am encountering an issue where users click on the Live Simulation tab and it pulls a license for that feature. We have a limited number of them.  The psf is set up to not pull the license initially but that does not prevent the license being pulled in session after clicking on the tab. IMO Creo should not allow that license to be pull just because someone clicks on a tab but it does. I dont really want to turn off the tab on the ribbon as its annoying to have to go in and turn it back on when some actually wants to use it. Is there a way I can call out a specific ui file when starting creo either through the psf or other means?

As per the original post.    Hi there,   I'm having a similar issue where I renamed an uploaded part that I had checked out. I'm now getting the same error (Error: File name changed).   I tried updating the part, synchronizing and updating my workspace and nothing has fixed this... I get the following messages in the console when I did those actions:   Nothing is Out Of Date in Workspace.All the objects in session are up to date.Nothing to Synchronize from server side workspace.   Any idea what else could help?   Thanks!
