Hi everyone, can anyone help me with SmartAssembly.I want to create a direction pattern of a component. Here's the code I wrote but it doesn't workand here is the error: thank you in advance  

Hello! Is it strongly adviced to NOT make a drawing in Creo 9 of an assembly made in Catia v5?  I'm making an component for a client. The component consists of two sheet metal plates that are cut and welded together and then applied a gasket. An assembly in Catia contains solids and surfaces that represent the plates and welding paths.  I modeled the components in Catia v5 r28 and the customer uses Creo 9.  Then I made a preliminary test of the question above by1. Export a stepfile of the assembly,2. Open step with creo and save the assembly and parts as creo asm and parts. 3. Open creo assembly and designate a top view and front view in the assembly. Create simplified representations of the assembly (cutting process of each plate, welding process, gasketing process) 4. Create a drawing and made a sheet for welding and a sheet for cutting of one plate with their respective simp representations. 5. Dimension the views. I put an outer dim

Dear all, I am running into the strangest problem: for some reason in Creo 8.0.5.0, when I double-click a dimension in the Sketcher, I cannot edit it any more. The text input appears but disappears instantly again. Only when I am very, very fast in entering a new number, I can edit the dimension. There is no apparent reason why this happens, it started all of a sudden. Running in win32_gdi-mode, and re-installing Creo did not help. Has this been seen before?

Would like bounding box size option within the analysis feature. Must have ability to create parameters for each of the 3 distances example: (height, width & length). Would be nice if it could tell the difference between if the geometry was rectangular or round. If round provide parameters diameter & length.   The evaluation needs to be able to evaluate simplified rep of part and/or assembly.   Use case: The parameters within the analysis could be used to establish bill of material parameters (part size for raw material purchases). Assembly level can be used to establish packaging size requirements.

Hello everyone,   I am using schematics 7.0 as a ECAD and I have already an existing design where I would like to update datatables (picture 1) which are already in the central catalog. Also in the design I use a variable connector which is also in central catalog. At this connector I assigned default dataset (the one I would like to update)   The question is how to proceed now? I would like to keep the variable connector, only update the dataset. I tried to move with the files in central catalog folder but nothing is working. I can of course create a new dataset and delete the previous one from central catalogue, but then I will lost the connection with the variable connector (picture 2).    I saw on PTC help website that there should be administrator and editor, but I did not get how could I become one. 

Hi, I am generating a drawing of a large assembly. I have used Article - CS20577 to boost drawing performance and it works very well. I encountered an issue with creating detail views of section views. Upon creating the detail view, the drawing slows down severely to the point it is unusable. Mouse inputs take over ten seconds to be registered. Zooming in and out takes about a minute or more to execute. I cannot use the ribbon or any other commands during this time. If I erase the detail view (not the same as deleting the view, for those who don't know about the erase function) the drawing will return to normal and smooth performance. I find it weird that a detail view could be so heavy on the system that it causes such a slow down. Any ideas as to what is happening and how I can resolve the issue? The ideal solution would achieve normal drawing performance with the detail views showing (not erased). Thanks in advance.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.11.0In order to fix an assembly issue, I need to redefine the placement of the problem part. The placement, however, does not exist, and I cannot edit the definition of the part to add a placement. Replacement will not do, unless there is a way to replace it and keep all surface, edge, and other ID's identical.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.3.0We use the Pipeline Info (Report) function to get pipe lengths, pipe bends and rotation information for manufacturing. This seems to not work in Creo 10.0.3.0. The only information I can get is the full pipe length. This is very critical to our business.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.6.0Trying to save rendered image with vision window. How do I do that?

I found a few videos on how to model outer threads, not inner threads (nuts). I'm struggling to get all the dimensions correct for a Tr16x4 nut.I printed a prototype already. The hole size seems accurate, and the trapezoidal screw threads in initially, but it gets stuck halfway through. Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Creo 9.0.7.0. T5 licenseI'm trying to create a mapped mesh on very simple shape.  But when I try to create the mesh it fails to make bricks and reverts to tets.  I've spent a lot of time trying to do this very simple task and I am frustrated.My geometry an extruded sketch.  It has (or had) some fillets on the vertical edges but I have suppressed them. I have selected every surface combination possible (there are 3 possibilities - top+bottom, the two sides, and the ID and OD).  

In my company, we developed a plugin for Creo Parametric 9.0 using the C++ object toolkit. The plugin consists in a .dll that is compiled with Visual Studio 2022, with dependencies linked statically. The .dll works synchronously. Between developers, we tried to distribute internally the .dll after compilation. But if the .dll is used in a different machine from the one it was compiled in, Creo crashes with EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE_EXCEPTION. I'm attaching the traceback. log with the name of our plugin replaced with "<OUR_PLUGIN_NAME>". My question is:is it possible to distribute a .dll between machines, if all of them have the OTK installed, within the same license server? Is it possible between different licenses?

I am using Creo 8.0.7.0 and extracting information for creo .asm, .prt files usinf wbmff.wbmff generates the rename.csv file list basically these files get renamed over OS level not by using creo. I have gone through the Article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS212774?source=search Is there any way to update the rename.csv listed Files using JLInk or some other tool.     Model opening properly in Creo for reported renamed files but when i extract the information using wbmff it reports files get renamed.    Is there any way to handle this scenario by some code or utility i have around 700 files reported in rename.csv.

I have been using Creo for a couple years. I recently replaced my hard drive several months ago and now am trying to reinstall Creo parametric. I installed Creo 9 by following the links for the Student Version (because I am still a student, after which I would become an educator). I installed Creo 9 and ran the program and it said that the Student License doesn’t support Creo 9 however the PTC website seems to indicate that it does.

Hello Team, I am trying to add gravity load along with other applicable forces. Without adding gravity load, simulation goes fine but when i apply gravity load, it fails. It shows below error: Can you please suggest what could be the reason for this? I am really under pressure to finish the simulation. Any help will be really appretiated.The design study terminated abnormally.The nonlinear iteration did not converge for thetime value:   3.90625e-03  o The model may have a buckling mode with a load factor    smaller than this value. You may determine the smallest    (linear) buckling load factor by running a buckling    analysis.  o The deformations may be large enough that you must    further refine the mesh. To locate potential problem    areas, it may help to run an analysis with reduced    loads and examine the deformed shape of the model.  o The model may have a static instability.

Hi All, I have a student license and from past 2 days i get the below error in sketcher mode when i try to update the dimensions. It doesn't allow to modify any of the dimensions in sketcher mode.  "When a constraint is active, right click to cycle through lock/disable/enable the constraint. Use Tab key to toggle active constraint. Press and hold Shift to disable snapping to new constraints." Kindly support as i am unable to work.  Thank you.

CREO 7.0.6.0We are having an issue where we double click on a dimension while in sketch to edit and the dimension box is closing out before we can edit the value (see attached video). Has anyone seen this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.(view in My Videos)

Does anyone have any recommendations for default combo states? Below are PTC's:   I *think* there are some recommendations in this book as well and we are considering getting it. If anyone has read it I would appreciate feedback. https://www.amazon.com/Re-Use-Your-CAD-Model-Based-Handbook/dp/B08X65PK6W If anyone has any other recommendations I would appreciate that as well.

Hi, Creo-8I would like to get sheet metal part with different thickness after forming ( coining ) operation like the attached image below. Any idea  

Greetings everyone, Allow me to introduce myself to this vibrant community! My name is Amitabh Mukherjee, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this group. With an extensive background in multi-CAD customization spanning across various platforms like NXOpen, CATIA V5 .NET, CAA V5, Inventor, and SolidWorks API, I've recently embarked on a new journey diving into Creo Customization using Object Toolkit (C++) with Creo 10.0.As I delve deeper into this exciting realm, I need some guidance and insights from the community members here. Here are a few areas where I could use a helping hand: Navigating the Creo API Object Model: I'm eager to explore the vast landscape of Creo's API object model. Could someone point me in the direction of resources where I can browse through the hierarchy of classes, and interfaces, and understand their relationships such as base classes and derived classes?Creating PMIs with Precision: One particular task I'm currently grappling with involves creating Pro

Hi, I need to create a list similar to the BOM but with the asm welds. I need the weld information (SEQ_ID, TYPE) and I need the welding process intervals linked to that weld. I have some parameters in the weld process but i dont know how acess this parameters in the drw. I add some photos. Using the example of the photos iset the weld process 3, in the weld process have parameters about current, tension and gas. So i need a table like this: SEQ_ID   TYPE      WELD_PROCESS   CURRET(A)    TENSION(V)     GAS1               FILLET   PROG3                     230                  26                      CO22              FILLET   PROG2          &
