Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello everyone:I have the following issue with my bearing: In the sectional views, the balls always seem to be fully displayed, and I just can't get rid of it (as in the attached file).I imported and installed the bearing from the SKF catalog as an STP file like all the other bearings and they word fine. Please help!

I have a sketch of a quadrilateral between 2 parts in my assembly and the dimensions of this quadrilateral are derived from the spacing between the parts (by putting constraint "Point on Entity"). Now, I want to establish relations for placement of another part with the dimensions of this quadrilateral. However, when I enter into the relations dialogue box and click on the sketch, the dimensions corresponding to the lengths of the quadrilateral do not show up. I understand that this is happening because it was not a defined length, but rather a derived length. But is there a way to access such dimensions in the relations dialogue box?

Hi everyone,since I need to get screws based on threaded holes, is there any chance to set screw diameter by thread surface diameter or to set DG dimension on drilled hole surface?

When dimensioning a threaded hole Creo is adding {0:@D} to the front of the dimension. I have tried to delete this several times without results, creating a new dimension for the same hole does not help the problemDoes anyone know why this is appearing and how to stop it from automatically adding

Folks,I am using CREO 7 and I want to understand how CREO sums part weights to arrive at the total assembly weight. Is there code or relation that can be accessed to learn how this is done and where can I find that? Thank you.

Hello GD&T experts! I am using Creo 9.0.8.0 and I am working with the GD&T Advisor. I would like to do what is written in the help (see link below: section "Define Self-Referential Datum Features" is working with two different diameters for the sections of the shaft)The difference is that I don't want to use two diameters of different sizes, but two bearing seats of the same size (possibly with different tolerance zones, but Creo doesn't recognise this as a difference).https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r9.0/usascii/?_gl=1*124c2gq*_ga*MjA2NDk4NTk0NC4xNzE0NTcyMjQ2*_ga_7NMP2MSYPM*MTcxNTYyMDk0My40LjEuMTcxNTYyMTM3NC40MC4wLjA.*_ga_CBN5QVB9VJ*MTcxNTYyMDk1Mi4yLjEuMTcxNTYyMTM3NC4wLjAuMA..#page/model-based_definition/alternate_workflows.html# ==> "Define Self-Referential Datum Features" The workflow in the help creates a cylindrical group with two different diameters, to which I can assign separate references etc., but with two identical diameter

How can i manually create markup for View Changes Analysis?  

Hello, I want to set the section arrow to a view. The section view is already on the drawing.I tried this: ui::printMessage("Select view for the arrow!");pfcSelectionOptions_ptr opt = pfcSelectionOptions::Create("dwg_view");opt->SetMaxNumSels(1);viewArrow=session->Select(opt)->get(0)->GetSelView2D(); ui::printMessage("Select section view!");pfcSelectionOptions_ptr opt2 = pfcSelectionOptions::Create("dwg_view");pfcSelections_ptr sel = session->Select(opt2);pfcView2D_ptr viewSection = sel->get(0)->GetSelView2D(); wfcSequenceofSection2DInstructions_ptr instrNew=wfcWView2D::cast(viewSection)->GetSection2DInstructions();instrNew->get(0)->SetArrowDisplayView(viewArrow);pfcModel2D::cast(mdl)->Regenerate(); It doesn't work. Thanks for your help

Hi, I'm creating a mould of a lego minifigure for a school project. I created a silhouette curve to define the split line on the model but then when I tried to create a skirt surface it came up with a lot of errors because I don't think the silhouette curve has complete loops. Is there any simple way of fixing this? Maybe using a different operation to achieve the same result?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM080When importing .stp files (created in Creo 7.0 or later) provided by others, a "fatal error encountered..." window appears and the software crashes and closes.Here are the errors that I facedfatal error encountered...

I have created gyroid structures in creo and want to export it as a step or iges file to work in ANSYS, but if I try to do so, except for the gyroid every other part is getting exported. Is there a solution to this problem. Also I can export it as a STL file which turns out to be heavy, which is not feasible to work with.

I didn't find any interface related to the Create_balloons function in my API wizard. I use Creo Parametric 4.0 version, I am trying to use VBAPI to create balloons by view automatically . Is there any interface can help me with that? Or other ways to take me there. 

Hi there, I installed the student version of Creo 8.0.4.0, I know that I do not have a cutting-edge computer to run some of the extensions of creo such as creo simulate live, creo render studio and others... that is why I just installed CREO PARAMETRIC. However, when the installation was done, I got the message INSTALLED WITH ERRORS, I opened the message to see what the error was and it showed: your computer doesnt support creo simulation liv ( I said it doesnt matter because I did not installed that extension) as I said before I just installed creo parametric. Therefore:1. I opened Creo to start getting familiar with the software, I clicked on CREATE NEW PART, then I scrolled up and down on the drop-down menu to select a TEMPLATE (I think it is for units selection) BUT I could not be able to select the template I wanted, it automatically asked me to select a template again, I TRIED to select a different one but nothing, then I DECIDED to click on and selected EMPTY and it worked,

Hello all,  I'm looking for a way to set a default option for number of decimals shown in a drawing dimension. The obvious answer here is to change the config option default_dec_places, which will achieve my goal. But the problem is, that also changes the dimension decimal places in a .prt sketch as well. I would like to have these two dimensions decimal places default to different numbers. See below.   SKETCHER - .XXXXDRAWING - .XX Is this possible?  Thanks,Kevin

We are doing trivially simple analyses in Creo 9.0 Simulate (Not Simulate Live...) and we are consistently crashing the computers.  (Problems taken from or similar to exercises in an SDC textbook.)  See the attached for the specifications on these computers.  I have some students that know a lot about using FEA and they are not having any more success with the classroom computers. What might I (the instructor) try, to stop these crashes?  Do we need to upgrade our computers?  I suspect this is true.  However, are there things we could change/try on these computers that would help?  (See the attached pictures, which I believe have sufficient information for people to comment.)  https://prodart.pl/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/creo9_hardware_notes.pdf This link seems to say that Dell computers with AMD graphics are NOT approved?  And it appears that these computers have AMD GPUs and are Dell computers.Any input I can get would be a

I  am having trouble creating properly dimensioned drawings of compound miter cuts on HSS square tubes. The annotations are difficult for the shop to interpret. ( see picture attached) So the next best thing is a pipe wrap template that the shop can use to mark the tube for cutting.I've had some luck:1. converting to sheet metal and then making a flat pattern drawing and exporting to DXF for laser cutting a marking template and also2. some luck creating a surface wrap and unfoldng that as well. Neither one is ideal however, and both were found by accident and not easily repeatable. Furthermore the "convert to sheet metal" method was irreversible so it requires making copies of all the tubes in the model which is a royal pain when there are more than a few parts.  

Hello, I am wondering if there is a method to use Distributed Batch to backup drawing files (and all associated assembly + part files) to a directory ? I attempted this using the mapkey.ttd and then including my config.pro containing a mapkey that recorded: Save a backup (while in a drawing file) > OK > Yes to the two prompts that appeared. The error I receive in the log is [-4] Error: Incomplete input data. The manual information suggests that this is due to required dependents not being retrieved, but I haven't been able to find a remedy for this (if any). The mapkey sequence itself is as shown, as runs as expected in Creo Parametric. mapkey bk @MAPKEY_NAMESave backup to working directory without prompt. For \mapkey(continued) use with distributed batch;@MAPKEY_LABELInstant save backup;\mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;~ Command `ProCmdModelBackup` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_saveas` `Current Dir`;~ Activate `file_saveas` `OK`;\m

Hi, we are looking to implement a custom fastener library using IFX in our department. It will require customisation of all fasteners, forming new file names and assigning custom parameters. On the positive side, I think I can find all of the required types of fasteners in default IFX library, which makes building a custom one much easier. I have tested it for a couple of weeks with building a couple of custom fasteners and it went almost flawless.  Now the question is - what unforseen challenges may arrise during development and using it? As any other system, there is something always to learn which is difficult / impossible to forecast, but would be great to know before we spend effort developing the custom library and start building assemblies with them. Just to demonstrate my point - a reference example for issues with Solidworks Toolbox would be:- Solidworks doesn't always import the excel files correctly to build the configurations- Solidworks toolbox dat

IFX definition window allows to modify the countersunk diameters while using countersink head screw but UI we can find only counterbore , we need this countersink name enabled at the IFX UI level”

I m struggling to find a way to create a single draft entity line on a drawing sheet.   Looking to create a line at 0,0 and go to 1,0 (x direction) or from 0,0 to 0,1 (y direction).   Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have a UDF that creates threaded internal holes.  In the UDF family table exists all the information that is needed to create a note on the drawing for describing the thread, depth etc.  Is there a way to create a note from the table columns without having the user select each dimension?Note should read as below:     1/4-20 UNF-2B     Major Dia.: .5000     Pitch Dia.: .4565/.4500     Minor Dia.: .4340/.4170What I would like is an annotation to be created when the thread UDF is ran.  The UDF may be ran several times on one part & this is the reason to need it created as the UDF is ran.  This way the user can show/erase the annotations and reduce the chance of errors.

Hi guys Good Morningis there any Api call is available for reading or retrieving the model from the windchill workspace?Please let me know if you know any other Possibilities. regardsAravind

Hello all, I am facing a problem related to the conversion of my files to the Creo Parametric 9 version. Currently, this version of Creo only allows you to change its results into the following formats: I want to convert my analysis results from these above formats to Excel format. I tried surfing online regarding the same but couldn't find it. If anyone can help me, then I request that person offer me that information to convert those results into readable text or Excel format.Thank you,Rushang

Hi,Does toolkit offer the possibility of developing a CAD model directly using programming language. Like all command like extrude and all can be programmed according to dimesional requirements without building any CAD model in actual.   

I was wondering if anyone knows how to select the surfaces highlighted from a semantic query? For example, I want to be able to select all GTOL annotations in my model and put the surfaces related to them under a layer. By right-clicking the GTOL layer and selecting "select items", the surfaces I want all show up under semantic query, but they aren't actually selected for, say, changing the appearance. If anyone knows how to do this with or without the semantic query tool, your help would be much appreciated. Also, my company is removing licenses with the GD&T advisor, so something like that wouldn't be an option. Thanks! Version: Creo 11
