Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi all, Looking into a need where detailed construction drawing would sometimes be plotted to pdf on A1 and A2 size format by Worker, other times on A3 or A4. Going on paper size only is not a solution for differentiating contour line from the dimension line, as paper size can also be used for assemblies, etc. requiring other pen thicknesses. One suggestion is using different drawing format templates. Is there a way to connect format to specific pen table? Or any other smart solution someone already has arrived at? Pen table decides thickness.Pen table file can be pointed to in config.pro (if not storing in default location).Format neither calls for pen table, nor config.pro to be used.Pen table can also be selected in a plotter configuration file (pcf file)Only one pcf-file can be pointed to from the Recipe (.rcp)Would programmatic approach be needed (even possible to catch this?) on Windchill side in any way based on format? Using different Workers for differ

Hi, trying to understand how to get what I want.  While I have options, nothing seem to change when various option are chosen.. 1) I made a chain flange to have a nice flange about the 2 sides of an 'L' shape. It then makes the flange, and creates both a corner relief and a mitered cut.  If I choose "closed" I get a closed off corner, which is what I believe I want.  But it does give a bit of a weird shape on the flat pattern. It also gives a gap.  The end of the gap isn't really 'tangent' to the inside of the corner bend radius, which I would have expected. Now, if I have an open corner, the gap creates a little 'tooth' on each side of the mating mitered flange edges. (See mitered.jpg)  I then need to do an unbend / bend back with an extrusion cut to remove these "bits", and get a simple 45°cuts on the flat pattern.. (See miter 2 & miter 3.jpg..) 2) while I have options to vary the corner relief, nothing seems to change with option

Hi All,We have a classroom with 41 workstations. Which is better: a local Creo installation for each class or a network installation? Our licenses are FLEXnet Thanks!

Has anyone found a solution for making better welding symbols in Creo? The default symbols are STILL in Creo 10 just horrible.It seems that the symbol definitions don't support lines changing length automatically. So that results in either too long or too short elbows for the symbol.I think that is why the default symbol is defined with the maximum reasonable length of the weld note, which makes it useless when you want to just give a simple weld note:I found out that you can use grouping in symbol definition to hide or show parts of the elbow depending on whether the length of the weld and/or intermittency is enabled:But this solution does not work when the leader is on the other side, because you cant make the leader origin to change position depending on grouping:Has anyone managed to somehow create a GOOD welding symbol in Creo with modifiable elbow length?Or is the only solution to just create different symbols for different amounts of information: One symbol for simple note with

I need the procedure to apply the moment load to this shaft.  I cannot find anything on how to do this.  I even tried two different AI website to try to find an answer.  Neither site gave me an answer.   What features?  How applied?  

I am using the Creo Parametric 5.0.0.0I am using the ProTK Toolkit APIS to get the information from the model.I have a PVZ model where it looks like this model has facets data and no surfaces in it.To get the geometry data from the surface we use ProSolidSurfaceVisit which gives a call back to user defined function with surface as argument. I am trying to get the Facet data by using the ProSolidFacetsetVisit API, I am getting the call into the call back function with the facets set information and app data information.Can anyone help me to get the geometry data out of this facets set,Its better if I get a sample code fetch the geometry data within the callback function from Facets. I have attached the sample model PVZ part file. Thanks and regards.

Hi All,I have a sheetmetal part that I want to mirror and keep the geometry dependant, but for the mirrored part to exclude the logo feature.Scenario:Part1_LH is the original part is a left hand configuration. This part has the company logo on it with a 'L'  handing callout for the left  hand configuration assembly etched in to the surface.. Part1_RH is the mirrored part and is a right hand configuration, but the company logo and the L callout is reversed. What I want is to mirror the part and keep it dependant and have the logo on the mirrored part in the correct orientation. Is there a way to exclude the logo and handing letter from the mirror part function so that I can add the logo and the 'R' handing callout onto the mirrored part? I know that I can convert the original part to a solid  as a quilt, and mirror that part , then fill in the mirrored logo and re-apply the logo to the mirrored part but I want to keep the parts in sheet metal and dependant.

Hey, I wanted to ask if anyone knows which settings increases the distance between automatic dimensions. I am trying to pick the ones I need but they are just stacked on each other. I was trying to search through drawing settings and test every config named "offset" or having some value but couldnt find anything working. Cleaning up dimensions working okay, but I need to be able pick them out first.  

Hello, I have installed Creo 8 and choose to also install the c++ and java toolkit. When the installation is done, when I go to:   C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 8.0.1.0\Common Files\otk\otk_java, I dont have the library files, I have only the  otk_java_examples ,which have all the example files. But for  the c++ toolkit folder, C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 8.0.1.0\Common Files\otk\otk_cpp, I have all the library file and code examples..Did I miss a step for the Java toolkit installation ?? Thank you

After downloading Creo 10 student per the directions given in the instruction PDF, I have continued to get the two errors in the image below. The 1st error says "Creo Agent did not initialize correctly. Please contact Technical Support if this issue persists." which is followed by "Creo Parametric Student Edition (for educational use only) is shutting down because it could not run the Quality Agent, which is required in this edition. If you call Technical Support about this problem, report error 0x06000012." I have tried deleting/redownloading Creo-10, as well as Creo-8. I tried looking through the Community forums, but no luck yet. I didn't have any initialization issues when I first downloaded Creo 8 a year ago, and I don't recall "disabling all firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware software" when I did that download. For this reason, this error feels either new in general, or might have something to do with me already having Creo 8 previously (even though Creo 8 is comple

Hello,I have a simulation including a stationary body and a moving body. There is a contact between them. I often see the warning: "Excessive displacement at contact region". A software suggests smaller time step but I can not reduce it. The full moving process is described with 100 step and the software does not allow to define more...1. What does it mean exactly the excessive displacement at the contact? Is the time step too large compared to distance between two mesh nodes? If I increase this distance (element size) - instead of time step reduction - is it correct?2. How can I define more steps under "User define output step"?Thanks a lot your help;Roland

How do I remove the errors Tool parameter TOOL_ROUGH_SPINDLE_RPM (used in relation): value undefined. and Tool parameter TOOL_ROUGH_AXIAL_DEPTH (used in relation): value undefined. I already do the following...1. In the Tool Manager I add spindle speed and feed and radial and radial depth.2. In the parameters I remove any relations with these variables.           

Currently I have a contact model that consists of two separate bodies. One body is fully fixed and assigned a linear elastic material with steel properties. The second body rests on top of the first and has a fully defined elasto-plastic material. This was defined using developed test data. My problem comes when I am trying to enable "Plasticity" in the static analysis. The option is completely greyed out and unavailable. The material is both assigned to the model and to the correct body. Has this issue been reported previously or is there something I am missing?  I have tried a variety of solutions such as assigning all bodies the same elasto-plastic material, suppressing features that could cause issues (grounded springs/Links). Neither solution yielded any results. Even when using the elasto-plastic material definition I receive the same error seen below. Note: EP is shorthand for elasto-plastic for my naming convention and the material it is referencing does have an EP ma

 Dear friends, How to create new csys at "Top_assy.asm" , which same location and orientation of "A" csys, but it should be reference with "Main" csys, not "A" csys. PS:  "A" csys & "Main" csys, reference handle already with me Thanks. 

Hello, I want to generate a square Image of 1000x1000 pixel from Creo Rendering. Currently the images generated are in Rectangular format (500x1000).Also is there a way to change drawing window size width through config file ?  Thanks in Advance…..

Hello, We have an application in Java to check, before saving a model in CREO, if a higher version of the model exists, preventing saving in case it exists. It works for the active model. But if the active model is an assembly, and if a component has been modified, when saving the assembly, it checks the assembly’s version, but doesn’t control the versions of the components. I would like to know how to control the components’ versions. This is what we use for the model: import com.ptc.pfc.pfcGlobal.pfcGlobal;import com.ptc.pfc.pfcModel.Model;import com.ptc.pfc.pfcSession.Session;Session curSession = pfcGlobal.GetProESession();Model model = curSession.GetCurrentModel(); Best regards,Amaia

Sombody had the same problem?When the PVZ is done, the straight cable segments not appear (curved cable segments appear),i tried to add this sentence into recipe: adapter/convCables=1; then, setting a master representation of the cable;then, giving a black color (in case of unwanted transparence);and creating a new layer adding the cable (created using "cabling" application) as show and later as isolate; in Creo all is ok...but, when the pvz is created only the straight cable sections are missing.Do you know why this could be happening? Regards (I using  CREO 😎

Im trying to round the inner bottom edges of this tank. It has this small pipe leading out. When I apply round to it. It opens on either side of my pipe. How do I not have this? It doesnt show the holes in the preview but when I click accept it does. Im on creo 10.

I’m encountering a challenge where I need to filter out all assemblies with the exception of certain ones.Typically, I use the command "&asm.mbr.type != ASSEMBLY" to filter out assemblies, but now I need to modify this to exclude specific assemblies such as F902355, a5879, etc.Using Creo 8.

hello,i have a question: i have one big assembly assembled two times in another assembly. if i choose a MasterRep for one of the file in the first assembly there is no problem but if i add the second one in a group and do the same thing then the occupied memory goes up as if it were loading the whole assembly.have you had the same behaviour?thanks
