Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I'd like to use a custom template when creating a harness mfg drawing (as shown in the help link below, step 4), however the browse to file selection is greyed out (as shown in the attached screenshot). Does anyone know how to allow this selection? To Generate a Flattened Harness Manufacturing Drawing (ptc.com) I'm using Creo parametric 8.0.7.0. Any help is greatly appreciated!

My task: I need to model a part with multiple interfaces to an assembly. In order to do it, I created a shrinkwrap feature in my part, and brought the quilts of all solid bodies that I needed to interface with (shrinkwrap option "Autocollect all solid surfaces") . I also added more "helper" surface features to model my part. Once the geometry of my solid part is ready, I need to delete all those temporary "helper" quilts. Best solution I found:I have used the features "Thicken" and "Solidify" to create many independent solid bodies (one solid out of each quild), and eventually used feature "Remove body" to remove all solid bodies (those solids made out of quilds), only leaving one solid body which is the main geometry of the part. The question:I presume there is a better way to delete the quilds, but I couldn't find it. I also couldn't find many people asking about this problem, so I may be approaching this wrongly on the first place. Can somebody please recommend a "pro

I've loaded Creo 8.0.2.0 and CreoView Adaptors 8.0.0.0, I copied the install folder to a central location and have set my protk.dat paths to that location. I've double checked the paths in the protk.dat by using the dir command in a command window to list those files. I've done this many times before with Creo 4 and earlier, no issues.  With Creo 8 I'm getting this error: Creo Toolkit registry file: C:\Users\haigh1\pro\Creo_8_Home\protk.dat: cannot spawn application `proe2pv`; read error `No such file or directory` I'm having similar errors with other toolkit applications we have. All have worked fine in Creo 4 and previously.

The PRT which is the drawing based on has International System units (mm) settings. Whenever the generated DXF is opened, the Creo 9 drw convert dimensions from mm to inch and it is not intended. I'm not being able to find conversion in the drawing module. Don't know if the conversion occurs in the DXF exportation or in the drw generation from the exported DXF. Thanks

Hi, For some application that I am working on, I will save you the details, I would like to know what the exact mathematical motion law is behind the 'monotonic' option in mechanism. I prefer the table option in a servo motor, for creating complex movements. If so, there are three options to connect the points in the table: linear, spline and monotonic. Dynamic analysis cannot work with linear, which is quite understandable. Spline motions result to non minimum phase behavior (first move in the wrong direction before going in the right direction), so that is not usable either. Monotonic does a nice job, but I would like to compare the movement (displacement, speed and accelleration) with a physical servo motor movement (which has probably a 3-4-5 polynomen motion profile built in, but I have to check that as well). To be short: who can tell me the mathematical motion law (formula's) behind the monotonic option in mechanism. Best regards,Laurens

Hello I'm creating this post following the switch from CREO 8 to CREO 10.I make a lot of use of the offset/projection and segment uncut functions in the sketches I create, except that with the new tool this is totally broken. Here's an image to illustrate my problem : I want to remove the corner and keep the two straight lines.  I was able to browse other topics where the subject of the new tool is discussed but no solution seems to have been given.Do you have any information on the subject? Would it be possible to have an option to go back to the old tool or to make it differently ? Is it possible to no longer consider the projection/offset as a loop? Thanks and have a nice day, Leo 

I'm trying to create a mapkey that renames my features with an identifier from it's own dimension.For exampleRound 1, which has a radius of 5mm gets names to "R5"Hole 1 with a diameter of 10 gets renamed to "ø10"M6 hole gets renamed to "M6" Because of Creo, every featurename has to be unique even though it has a unique feature ID. So to do that I would like to add the feature ID or feature number (Any unique identifier for that specific feature) behind the name.So Round 1 with feature ID 3864 becomes "R5 (id3864)". Even better would be to make the text invisible using invisible characters but that might be too much to ask. So far I've tried everything but I can't find a way to let the mapkey copy the value of the feature or anything from the feature information window. Rounds don't even have parameters I could try to use. Things to note: We don't have OTK or Jlink and we don't use Round Sets for unrelated reasons, so the Round feature always has the same feature informat

Hi Everyone, I have a project Industrial conveyor, but i bit confused about the mechanism.... I want to create a moving object on the Belt but i am still the same issues, the moving part is not going anywhere but the belt mechanism is active. can u guys help me to solve this problem (The goal is the belt and moving object will move together). Should i use the 3D contacts and gravity?? (If yes, can u show me the tips)

I have Creo View 9.1. Is it possible to customize keyboard shortcuts in this program? I see the option in Creo 10 to do this, but not in Creo View.

I created two layers using the sketch name as a search rule. They are *ORI* & *EC* two layers respectively.The model tree has the ORI_SKETCH Feature and the drawing has an Original Design view using the isolate 00001_FOR_PTC_CASE_ORI  layer setting.When the ORI_SKETCH feature name is changed to EC_SKETCH and the 00001_FOR_PTC_CASE_ORI & 00001_FOR_PTC_CASE_EC layers are updatedFinally the "Design Changes" view and the "Original Design" view are not updated. I have to reset the layer isolate before it updates.

Is there a way to port over Creo Options over to Creo+ Options for all the setting?

If we assembly a series of pipes at the assembly level, what is the best way to copy them to a different top-level assembly without creating a sub-assembly of the pipes? Does cut and paste work for the 'transfer' of the piping to the second assembly? We are using Creo 9.0.7 and Windchill 12.0.2.  

Is there a way share or transfer my map keys to another user? We both use the same version of Creo, but on separate machines. Any instructions available or point me in the right direction?Thank you.

I'm using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode 7.0.9.0Hello I inserted an image into a part and then integrated that part into the assembly. Now I would like to install the same part into the assembly again. Now the following happens, it no longer shows me the image, even though it is present in the part. The image still displays with the first part installed, but no longer with the second. The images cannot be seen in the drawing at all, why is that? Can you change that? Thanks and best regards

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?

In big assembly model Centre of gravity position is coming wrong by usingCogxCogyCogz value in relation.Is there any other way of finding cg position of assembly model.

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.
