Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi there, while waiting for a complex part to regenerate, I 've got some time to write this text. In January 2006 Intel introduced its "Core Duo". I think this was the first (consumer) processor with more than one core per socket. The multi-core race of the last years gave us cpus with core counts up to 64 cores (e.g. AMD Threadripper).In the meantime (about 16 years) PTC decided to keep its flag ship CAD - Software single threaded. My request for Creo is to get finally some benefit of multi-core cpus. Until then, I watch Creo being stuck at about 6% CPU utilization on my 16 Core machine. 

To all,I have been using Creepage and Clearance analysis in Creo8 for several weeks now, and have found it helpful in finding areas I might have missed. In looking at the results onscreen, is there a way to enhance the thickness of the line that shows the violation, so it is more visible? See image below for what I am seeing.Thank you.Dennis Rehmer 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.3.0I've been trying to give myself access to the ModelCHECK config_init.mc ( in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 10.0.3.0\Common Files\modchk\text\usascii\config). I am the sole user and a system administrator on the the machine. I already altered config_init.mc to use the "external_access.txt" file on the line:# Use the external file for authorization to use Configurator ToolMC_AUTHORIZATION_FILE YN Yand my external_access.txt file is:# ModelCHECK authorization file########################User List#################*#####LIST_ADMINISTRATOR administratorLIST_ADMINISTRATOR dee########################User List#######################LIST_USERand yet I still can't edit the config file from inside Creo. (My Windows username is Dee). Any suggestions?

We have a number of Advance Pro licenses and a couple of Premium Pro licenses.  How should the DESC line of parametric.psf look to use a PrmP license?

Hi,I am using Creo 8 with PDM (windchill 12) I am putting a decal on a part that exists in my PDM. I revised the part (rev 04) and went to view -> appearances -> edit appearance -> decal, and selected an image file from my drive. When I look at the model and the drawing, the decal appears just fine. So I go to check in my model.  After check in and publish, I remove the part from my workspace and add it again from the commonspace.  Now when I open the part and the drawing, the decal is gone. Instead I see a grey color appearance where my decal was.  Any inputs on what is happening and how I can fix this? I need the decal to show up on my published PDF.  Thanks!

Creo wont allow me to change dimensions in sketcher, When I double click the dimension the action gets overidden and I am prevented from making any changes. It is almost like there are some relations active in the background. I have used dimensional relations before and have deleted them. The problem affects even new part creation, feels like it may even be a setting of some sort.   

I am using Creo Parametric 9.0 and I have an assembly with weld features and subcomponents that also have weld features. I am creating a drawing and I want to use the show model annotations function to place the weld symbols from the model on a drawing view. When I click on the view and then Show Model Annotations, the Dimension tab shows only the annotations relevant to the top level assembly. However, in the model symbols tab, all of the weld symbols show as optional to insert, including the ones in sub-components, not just the top level (see picture below). With only about 5 symbols needed on the top level assembly, sorting through all the weld symbols is a messy task. Is there any way to only list the top-level assembly symbols and not all symbols for selection? Is there a way to filter so only the top-level assembly symbols are listed in Show Model Annotations?

Hello, how can I setup the amount of flanks for a circle?Since I am using creo 9 that behaviour is "new". When I used 6 it wasn´t doing this - most probably the setup was correct. I am sure its an easy fix. thanks in advance.  P.S. Yes, I searched for a similiar topic but didnt found it either in www nor in this forum.

Just starting to experiment with Creo+. By doing a "SaveAs" I found where my start in directory is. The question I have is where/how do I set this?   I am used to it being in the icon that is used to fire off the software, but when clicking on the control center to fire off Creo+, I do not anything like that.   Also, my config.pro is typically in my start directory, but I am not sure where to find it in Creo+. Is there a way to port over Creo Options over to Creo+ Options for all the setting?

HiUsing Creo 10.0.1.0Trying to setup a Mapkey to output a PDF using pentable & the File Export optionsThat side of things works fine, What we want to do is grab the current working directory & save to a file, change the working directory to a temporary directory (dependant on the user name) , output the pdf, then change the working directory back. I have the following mapkey, it runs the script, the -trail.txt file is created into the "E:\Configs\mapkey"Most of this i generated by recording a mapkey. Spoiler (Highlight to read)mapkey pdf @MAPKEY_LABELOutput PDF;\mapkey(continued) @SYSTEMstart E:\\Configs\\mapkey\\change_dir.bat "\%cd\%";\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `File.psh_working_dir`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_open` `Inputname` `E:\\Temp\\\\$USERNAME`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_open` `Open`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdExportPreview` ;~ Command `ProCmdDwgPubSettings` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `intf_profile` `pdf_export

We are going to be getting a Prusa XL with the capability of printing in 5 different colors/materials in the same print. I am having trouble exporting an assembly file into STL's to where they share the same coordinate system. So, when I import them into the slicer it doesn't recognize the components go together. Is there a trick to exporting STL's of multiple components that share a coordinate system? I do this all the time on my personal printers with Solidworks and Fusion 360 and have never had trouble but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Creo. In Solidworks I just export the assembly as an STL and it creates an STL file for each component automatically then I open them all together in the slicer and it recognizes that they go together. In Creo, it is making my entire assembly 1 STL file or I have the option of doing one component at a time but then the slicer doesn't recognize they go together. Does anyone have experience with this using Creo? Edit: I was a

We've received part/assembly files from someone that have restricted parameters. They are restricted to a predefined list of text values. We'd like to change the parameter to something not on the predefined list. I've found that to do so we could build a new restricted parameter list definition, set the proper config.pro value to call for that file, and then invoke the conflict resolution to make the new value available as a selection. The question I have is can I completely remove the restrictions? This seems to be a terrible "well, now you're stuck with this forever" situation. I don't want to have these restrictions inflicted on any new files I create, so I'll have to temporarily set the list-invoking config.pro value only when I want to edit new files from the same source. I'll also have to be careful to close Creo and restart without the restricted list being used whenever I create new files. So in short, can I remove a restricted parameter list from a file that contains one, or i

Hi all, may i know how the BOM is generated in with collecting all the related part by referring the part number mentioned in the property of Schematic file designations 

Hi All,  Every time I open CREO the option " Enable preselection highlighlighting" is turned off. I ticked it on and then tried to save the config file. still the next time I restart the CREO the option is unticked by default. Is there any solution to it? I would appreciate your help. Thanks so much in advance.

The problem is the following: at some point, the edges of the parts in assembly become invisible in the view; only the hatching that belongs to them is visible. The section in the view is offset type, created by the sketch. These edges become visible only with ticked view setting "Model edge visibility" - "Area", but not visible with "Total" (but should be!).If I create a new view and assign the same offset section, the view is correct. But I would like to use old view, becouse it have assigned boms and hatching properties. What I tried to fix this:1. Updating view/sheet - it didn’t help2. tried to change the section sketch references - it didn’t help3. tried excluding and then including parts from the list of cut parts - it didn’t help4. tried to hide, then show all layers of the view - it didn’t help5. tried to assign a display style for all edges by default - did not help. the similar question not help 

I'm trying to turn this hole into a slot. I tried placing a palette over the hole but it doesnt snap. Is there a way to make it snap over perfectly? or do I have to line them up manually? Using Creo 10.

Hello, For parts or subassemblies that have been suppressed via Pro/Program is there any way to resume these parts or features without modifying the code to un-suppress these items via Pro/Program? If you go to Model-Operations-Resume this screen is greyed out since the parts have been suppressed via Pro/Program. I have some assemblies that I would like to "Save a Copy" to use.  I would like for all of the parts to come along, but suppressed items do not come along with the "Save a Copy" option.  So I am looking for a quick brute force way to un-suppress all without having to go into the Program to manually do it.  Another point, is some users do not have DesignAdvP license so I would like for them to be able to un-suppress all without having the ability to open the Pro/Program code.   I am on Creo 9 Thanks!

Hello Everyone, I am facing a problem with 'Dimension Cleanup' in drawing using the VB API.I am fetching dimensions from the 3D Model and placing them in the drawing using the VB API. However, these dimensions are placed in random positions on the drawing, so I need to clean them up and move them to the correct positions for the particular view.Please share if you have any ideas.   

HiIs there any possible way to delete or move this option  "Expand All" from this model tree menu?I constantly work with very large assemblys, and it happens a lot, when i want to collapse all features, i miss the button and end clicking on "Expand All"This results on long waits, sometimes 5 minutes or more before i can continue workingThanks!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150When modeling features with very high aspect ratios, there is an issue where the thin remaining parts of the geometry disappear when removing material using the extrude cut function.
