Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello everyone, I'm new to Creo and I am trying to figure out how to add objects to a Model.I tried to create a new Part file and add some 3D points (as an example) but I cannot see them in a Window. Also, the number of ModelItems didn't change.  Could you tell me, please, how to add new ModelItems?

Hi there.  I would like to export a CL file of a part from Creo Manufacturing and to then post-process it to G-Code to mill on our ProtoTrak DPM2 3-axis CNC machine (with SMX controller).   The roadblock is that I don't have a post-processor for the ProtoTrak DPM2 CNC machine, so I was hoping someone could direct me through the setup process in a few bulleted points.   The end goal is to be able to mill some parts with complex surfaces with our ProtoTrak CNC machine. The ProtoTrak company website states that it is the CAM software's (in this case Creo) responsibility to post process the CL to understandable G-code for their machine, which they say takes the same G-Code instruction set as a Fanuc 6 CNC machine. I also have the accepted G Codes in a manual for the specific machine open on my computer, in case anyone asks, which I will upload as a screenshot.    I am using Creo Parametric version 8.0.8.0

Hello everyone and welcome back to the multibody blog series. This post also attempts to answer another body parameter related question:How can I display call-out a body parameter in a generic way? We received a question and enhancement idea from customers adopting Creo 7.0 asking for Leader Note Callouts for Bodies, similar to existing notations available for models, features etc as described in the Creo help here. (in short: Previously, when attaching a leader note to a model (component) you can get the value of a specific parameter for the attachment model. This can be achieved with the following syntax: &<param_name>:att_mdl  e.g &BOM_PART_NO:att_mdl)   An analogue workflow is now supported for body parameters. We implemented and added this to Creo 8.0. This enhancement allows you to call out the values of body parameters into a leader note that is attached to that body. To call out the value of a specific body parameter, you need to use the following syntax

How to find file size of a Creo  Assembly (.ASM) in MB?

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the font size in the Modelcheck report? All other font in my Creo 8 GUI is adequately sized, but the Modelcheck report has very small font. Others in my organization are not having this problem. Thank you.

ptc wildfire 4problem in nested repeat tableswhat relation to insert to count the total pieces of components in the WWW sub assembly?See the attachmentwww = 2 pieces so I have to have ww1 =2 ww2=2 ww3=2 piecesIt takes a relationship I don't know aboutnote: I have now put the &rpt.qty parameters in both the Q.ty ASM and Q.ty Parti cells of the nested repeat table

Hi,I've been doing a lot of work in the generative design module and I find that Using the Design criteria Minimize mass and a specified safety factor takes much longer to find a solution for than compared to specifying a mass target. It can in some cases be 20hrs vs 1.5hrs ( highest study setting as it is for a final part). It this normal and for my understanding, why? The same seems to apply if I ever try the modal study settings. Looking at the task manager I see that the optimization switches between 100% CPU followed by 100% GPU and then back, so I presume different optimization tasks run on different hardware. 

Hi, By default, the Creo installation defines the path for Start in as C:\Users\Public\Documents (marked in yellow).Our policy prohibits writing to the C:\Users\Public path, and each user can only write to their own path, which is C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\.How do you customize the path so that it is unique to each user who logs into the computer and launches Creo?

Hi, Is there an option, or a workaround to turn a simulation mesh into datum curves? Thanks

Not sure if this is possible or not.... I would like import parameters from one system and automatically connect them to parameters of the same name within CREO.   My goal is to create a template part with parameters /relations stored in the model.  I would then like to push parameter values from another system into the model and get the model to react to the changes. Just curious if anyone has done this and if so, which API's did you use? Thanks

Hello, I am trying to doo a preparation for print in Creo, but the build envelop of the PTC generic printer is an opaque blue. is it possible to make it transparent so I see the part inside it?   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150HelloI am using the relation RAW_MATERIAL_WEIGHT=PRO_MP_MASS:2 in my manufacturing .asm to show in 2D drawing of my Manufacturing Setup sheet the Weight. The number :2 refers to the ID of my Raw model. But when I save a copy Drawing / .asm and replace the model of raw material the parameter PRO_MP_MASS:2 doesn't update and in my drawing, the parameter keeps with the weight of the previous one. Do you have any suggestions to solve this problem?Here are the errors that I facedHelloI am using the relation RAW_MATERIAL_WEIGHT=PRO_MP_MASS:2 in my manufacturing .asm to show in 2D drawing of my Manufacturing Setup sheet the Weight.

Article - CS264721 indicates that flattening flexible components in electrical assemblies is not a function available in the software. The article states that it applies to Creo Parametric 2.0-8.0. I am using Creo 10. Is there a workaround? I would like to keep the flexibility, as I typically use it for cable heatshrinks.

I have a complicated surface modelled part (over 1000 features) with a family table. When I open one of the instances, it immediately shows regeneration failures, but when I manually regenerate it again, it usually fixes itself. Why would these failures be occurring if there is nothing wrong with the part since it completes the regeneration manually?

Hi!I want to reduce the number of Creo 8 licenses either in the license file itself, on the Flexnet-server. or somehow elseHow do I do that immediately?(Flexnet Release Version: 11.17.1.0) I don't want to have suggestions like "Cancel them". For Windchill I can just allocate a smaller number as I understand it.For Creo: I login to PTC, go to Support - License Management, License Actions, Advanced Search, put the server host ID, click Search and see the licenses that I can retrieve.But there is no option to put in a smaller number. Thanks!

I'm creating a very simple part, a strip of metal with holes in it. I started with a flat part, added the 1st hole, then pattern. When bending, the holes move with the part, but when I want to reference other parts to these holes in an assembly that's not possible. I've tried bending first and doing the pattern with a curve pattern. In this case the parts show in position but the pattern has an error. I'm sure it's because the two faces of the bend become different. Tried adding points and same issue. I had to repeat holes and chamfers twice and will have to do the same with the parts attached to this. Is there any way to keep the references after bending or is something that Creo doesn't have?*I'm using Creo 9.0.2.0

This is a supplement to: Article - CS129684   Is it possible to measure distances and other spatial quantities in results window in Creo Simulate.   Complex measurements and comparisons to original CAD are possible through some additional steps. In simulate results, set the deformed scale to 1.0 and then export the model to VRML format Change back to Cad side and open the VRML file. This can then be assembled to your master and compared or measurement tools used. Some additional planes, sketches, or 3d curves referencing the VRML vertices may be needed to measure a diameter. This is because the deformed model will no longer have perfect arcs, cylinders, and spheres like the original CAD and so some form of approximation is needed. 

I have tried 2 methods：1.Componenet - Restructure。  2.Select Part，Right click，move to new assmbly However, I did not find the corresponding API for this functionality in PROTOOLKIT.

All,I have done a bit of searching but have not found an answer.  Aside from a manual operation to exclude an item from a 2D repeat region, is there a filter that can be applied to a repeat BOM region that excludes a model that is set as "include" in the assembly? ThanksBrett

Hi,In a sketch, I draw a first datum centerline. Then I want to draw another centerline at a certain distance from the first centerline. My problem is that when creating the second centerline, CREO seems to select the nearest geometry edge to specify a distance. How to specify the first centerline as the reference for the second centerline ?Thank you for any help

I work with 3 different clients all using the same version of CREO would there be any way when opening CREO select client and save the cache in a specific folder? today I use this way. ENV=PTC_WF_ROOT=D:\Cache\%USERNAME%\PTC\ProENGINEER\Wildfire\.wf

Is there any ways to check which simplified representation i have applied to my BOM table

Hello,how to set and make default complementary angle when creating flat pattern view?Software version: Creo Parametric 6.0.5.1 Thanks in advanced!
