Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Are there any users out there that can vouch for the current HSM Modules in relation to 4 axis milling?  Has PTC improved 4 axis much?

Please,,clarify to meIs possible i,and run locally Creo Floating (as client)?   Thank you, Pedro.

When exporting a 2D creo drawing to PDF, the microsoft word objects that are inserted are not selectable text in the final PDF.  Is there a setting so that inserted objects are selectable/highlightable in the resulting PDF? Inserting an object in this way, but it seems to come into the 2D drawing as an image and not text/table. 

I’m starting to learn how GD&T works, but I’ve run into an issue.For a plunger pump, I’m making this 2D drawing. I set datum A as the surface the housing rests on, datum B as the axis of the large gears, and datum C as the cover surface with the roller bearing for the shaft carrying the small gear.Now the problem is the area where the crosshead runs. I’m not sure how to dimension this correctly. Should I use a position tolerance relative to B–A–C, or is it better to use parallelism and perpendicularity? Are there other correct methods?Below are two screenshots showing where my datums are located and what the pump looks like in section.  

For a school project, I need to make 2D drawings of already existing 3D parts.Normally, I specify my tolerances (for example 10 n6) using the menu shown in the picture.However, now I can’t do this. Is it because the files date from 2017 and were created in an older Creo version than the one I’m currently using?Also is there a site or forum where i can let my 2D drawings be checked? i got a exam coming up and would love to have them checked but idk if that existsHow can I fix this? I am using Creo 12.4 Education. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeF000I need to store a background image used in a Creo drawing as a Windchill-managed document so others can see it. Currently when I try to create/import a Graphics Dynamic Document (or other Document) in Product I get: ‘You do not have create permission for this object.’ Could you please grant me Create permission for documents in this product/folder, or create a shared library/folder where I have create rights for such image documents?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.6.0PDM Server to Local workspace Connectivity issuesHere are the errors that I faced1.The child, top-level assembly was loaded, but the retrieval error persisted even after leaving the system connected to the network for 9 hours.(During this time, we did not disturbed Creo interface).

Hello everyone, I'm building some mapkeys to create some basic functionality that PTC forgot to add in the past 10 years. To do this I'm using the "find tool", which works okay-ish. You can't use the saved query mode though, because sometimes it takes too long to load the query and then it's already finished doing all the mapkey commands, so you have the build the query every single time in the mapkey.... But I'm getting sidetracked. Right now I'm building a mapkey that hides all fasteners in the model. So I use the find tool to look for all fasteners and then hide them. However after running the mapkey, my whole model tree is expanded to the level where every single fastener is.I have tried changing auto_locate_in_tree to every possible option but that only works for items you select by clicking on them.I don't want to use collapse all, because if I was already deep in the tree when running the mapkey, I'd have to dig again. Any ideas on how to do this?

I am using Creo Parametric 11.0.6.0. In AutoCAD, there is a feature called compare with which we could compare the drawings and find out the changes that are made.  In the above image, the holes are changed from Dia 10 to Dia 8. On using the compare tool, the affected regions highlighted with cloud like marking. Is there an equivalent feature in Creo that does the same function as above?

I am creating hole table from points and customized the table according to requirements i,e added some rows but after putting table on drawing when it is need to update by clicking "UPDATE TABLES" it failing all added rows are failed not showing properly .Kindly help to resolve this issue or how can we customized the hole table according to our requirements.Please see attached snaps for reference.

Hi All,We are using Creo Parametric 11.0.5.0As part of our migration from Creo Weblink to CreoJS, we are using the following Weblink code to display messages in the Creo Message Log: Existing Weblink Code:function printMsg(msg){var texts = pfcCreate("stringseq");texts.Append(msg + "\n");try {var glob = pfcCreate("MpfcSession");glob.GetCurrentSessionWithCompatibility(2);g_session = glob.GetCurrentSession();g_session.UIDisplayMessage("usermsg.txt", "USER %0s", texts);} catch (e) {}}In Creo Weblink, we used below code for pfcCreate but for CreoJS this is not needed:function pfcCreate (className){if (pfcIsWindows())    return new ActiveXObject ("pfc."+className);  else if (pfcIsChrome())     return pfcCefCreate (className);  else if (pfcIsMozilla())  {    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");    ret = Components.classes ["@ptc.com/pfc/" + className + ";1"].createInstance();    ret

Hello guys, I am facing an issue with the ProUIDialogCreate API returning PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR when a dialog creation DLL is invoked from another DLL. When the same DLL is executed independently, ProUIDialogCreate returns PRO_TK_NO_ERROR and the dialog is created successfully. Note: The ProUIDialogCreate call is implemented inside the user_initialize() function.if anyone knows the solution, pls let me know.regardsAraivnd

I In .drawing the way to bring an image is clean and nice resolution. WHY in .format, it has different setting for Layout? No Images option! What is the best way to bring image in format the same way as in drawing?  Thanks in advance! ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO FIND IN CREO!

Hi,I am working on a large assembly file which contains a sub assembly that is modelled with flexible dimensions. The screen shot of the assembly is as shown below: I have made use, of 2 instances of above assembly as a sub assembly in top level assembly and shown them in different configurations as shown below. This was done by modifying the flexible dimensions shown above: Now the questions are:Q1:Is there a better method to manage large assemblies such as this? because every single time the file regenerates, it takes a lot of time.Q2:Instead of using flexible dimensions, the other alternative is to make use of mechanisms (which i think is the ideal case) but when the sub assembly is modelled using mechanisms, it becomes difficult to control the varying dimensions (angles and distance) for each instance separately. How do we control this separately?For example:Set and lock, Angle-1 to 60° in Instance-1 and 30° in Instance-2 Thanks! 

I'm very new at compound surfaces. I'm using Creo 9 and I'm trying to create a surface from a sequence of curves shown in the first few pictures. In the past I've been successful with using boundary blend to get a basic surface that I need.  However this case is more complicated than normal in that not only do I have 2 directions of curves I also have an outline it needs to extrapolate to.   The next picture is a successful boundary blend in one direction (it fails when I try to add in the secondary direction curves) but as you can see it spills out over the perimeter in some locations and doesn't fill in the perimeter in others.  To be honest I'm not really sure how to add in the perimeter curve as a constraint. This next picture is the closest I've gotten to a fully filled in outline by selecting the curves in the other direction from the picture above and adding in a selection of the perimeter.  The result as you can see is not desirable as th

Hello, I have partial 3D scan (.stl) of impeller that needs to be converted to CAD model. I cut the model horizontally by stacking planes on top of eachother so I got intersection lines. I did the same with vertical planes, all going through axis Z (axis of rotation). I did that in different program and imported the resulting curves to Creo (.stp). I wonder what would be most efficient way to fill the surfaces. Problems I have are: lines are not as one, but instead there are many of them which is a problem for boundary blend. Of course I would have to firstly fill the missing lines where 3D scan is missing. Anybody has experience with this: either via .stl or .stp imported to creo10?  Thank you for suggestions!

I have a hard time substituting some components in an assembly with a simplified representation using interchange assemblies. It just keeps saying "Substitution failed because no replacement items were found."  What am I doing wrong?Here is what I try to achieve:On our machines we have a certain lightning set, including a license plate light. I created an interchange assembly, with the detailed license plate light, and a simplified version of it. That is defined as a simplify in that interchange assmbly.But as a try to substitute this component with it simplified version, it says that no replacement items were found:   All assemblies are in session and regenerated. I have succeeded with this before, but now it seems impossible. Do I miss something? Why is the interchange assembly not recognized? Is Reference Pairing needed? Do we have some company settings that prohibit this? I can't get it... Attached the interchange assemby as a reference. Using Cre

So this is slightly linked to Windchill, we got our Extended Position Assemblies working by changing the value of an parameter to identify to Windchill that its got assembly level cuts, now I want to semi-automate it by using an existing parameter which is only present if there are assembly level cuts, are there any system level parameters created when you use assembly cuts that I can point Windchill to look towards?

We are using Creo Parametric 10.9How do industries tackle the issue of Identical parts with the difference being only the surface finish.e.g. : A Car Body with different Colours say Black, White, Yellow and Blue.Each coloured Body need to have different BOM Item but shall derive their geometry from the base model.Is there a way to do this without Family Tables?How can we address it in Windchill?We do not have Creo Options Modeller.

Hi all,I have a curve driven pattern that is propagating in the wrong direction.  I rerouted my sketch to the other end of the curve and all is good - but in a more complex example, and for future reference, how can I simply flip the direction?  I checked and unchecked the option "follow curve direction" - that seemed not to affect the pattern.  I would have thought that I could click the yellow arrow, but that does not work.  Any hints?Thanks!-Nate

I'm looking for an option to reset component display style. One of our users set the component display style for individual part or subassembly, rather than for complete assembly. Now, I would like to change the component display style for complete assembly, however previously set display style for parts and subassemblies does not get reset.Is there an option to either reset style for all the components on a view or to show components for which the style was set individually?Thanks in advance.Jurij SkrabaResearch & Developement Department for Hydromechanical EquipmentLitostroj Power | Production of Power Generation and Industrial Equipment | http://www.litostrojpower.eu

Hi everyone,I am a user of CREO Parametric 12.4.0.0 Academic Edition.I created a quite complex multi assembly model and, while regenerating it (Operations > Regenerate), I get this message saying that some reference loop has been created. : 1 CIRCULAR REFERENCE LOOPS FOUNDLOOP # 1Depth of loop is 4Feature number 26 (COMPONENT, id = 78) in model ASM07-Z-PLAMA-HEAD refers to:Feature number 7 (COMPONENT, id = 44) in model ASM07-Z2-ASSEMBLY refers to:Feature number 4 (COMPONENT, id = 40) in model ASM07-Z2-ASSEMBLY refers to:Feature number 26 (COMPONENT, id = 78) in model ASM07-Z-PLAMA-HEAD - circle closed. I understand what a Circular Reference Loop is, but I am not able to locate the features and/or  components, based on the information given in the in the message.  So my question is : How can I highlight the components and feature that create this reference loop ? Thank you for any help ! Yves

Hi Community,I am trying to perform a FEA Analysis for the below assembly with contacts. I am interested in a Non-Linear Static Analysis using the preload in the bolts, internal pressure in the pipe and axial load on the flange. I have defined custom time functions for these loads as per the needs but whenever I run the study, it fails throwing up a UI Library error. Can anyone guide me what needs done in such cases?I have defined custom materials for the Gasket and the Rubber springs for its Density, Poissons ratio and its Youngs modulus and I hope that should be sufficient but still unsure if that might be the primary reason for UI Library Failure as the system does not recognize these custom materials?Any Inputs are highly appreciated. Please see attached step file of the model for review.Best regards,Yash
