Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM080The colour coding of the model changes after regeneration.Here are the errors that I facedNo warnings or messages.

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!

Hello, While saving the assembly I generally receive this error "Object has failed feature", which does not allow me to save the assembly unless I suppress the part. When I check in the part I see no error.   What could be the main issue and how to resolve it?      

In my job I have to draw some pieces that are similar to others. GD&T is very important so we use as reference a similar part to take those tolerances into account and to know what to annotate and what not to. Is there a way to make an automatic drawing or a drawing of a part using the similar part as reference, automatically? Even though I have to adjust some details it will save me a bunch of time.

command in windows :dir /b /s /a:d > folders.txt This command will output a text file with all the recursive folders found in the current path where the command runs. it will create a file with all the sub directories recursively found in the starting path, and will write this out to folders.txt. This can be used and renamed to search paths file. It will save you a lot of time for having to create this file manually.  

I had to format a computer, logos after configuring CREO this option that follows print is no longer enabled, before formatting the machine was normal, and same license and everything.

For my school we are using Creo Parametric 6.0.2.0 student. I have done quite a few designs but have ran into a small problem.All the computers I am working with have the same version.I have saves as a .prt each time I do a few changes, and each file has like 14 saves.There are 8 different files in their own folders which are in one folder together.The problem is that out of the 8 different ones, 2 will load back into Creo 6 OK. The others just crash the program back to the desktop and saves a traceback log.I have tried on different computers including laptops and they are all doing the same.Other files are ok to use, it seems to be just these ones.I've even tried to load the first one of the same model with 14 saves and that does the same.Done a disk check - no errors. Checked a backup of each one on a removable hard drive and they do the same.Home computer is I5 8th gen, 1050 Nvidia card, plenty of ram and SSD space running windows 10. It seems weird that other files are OK

Hi,I am currently trying to do a simple contact mechanism simulation which is applied on a bouncing ball. I'm using a 3D contact to model the contact between ball and ground. However, I remark that there isn't any options to add restitution coefficient. Can you please tell me where can I add my restitution coefficient in order to make sure the ball bounces back upwards when it touches the ground. Another question, I found it's weird that the normal force of contact isn't coherent to the position of ball when it's in contact with ground (please view the graphs below). Normally the normal force should achieve a peak when the ball is in contact with the ground, but as you can see in 2nd pic, I only have a constant even at the contact time. Can you please enlighten me where did I do wrongly? P/S: the results below is achieved using 2D contact (cams), not 3D contact as mentionned above. 

Hi,I'm defining a generic modular drw symbol.I have defined some of its lines and values ​​in groups to give me the opportunity to select as needed whether to display them or not.My problem is that, by inserting the symbol in the DRW, these elements are hidden/disabled by default.How can I set them to be visible by default?Thank you.P.S. I'm using Creo 9.0.6.0

Having inherited a model, I have discovered a failed annotation which I am struggling to resolve.  Creo flags a GTOL (gp9), as failed (for unknown reasons). This failed annotation doesn't show up in the annotation list, nor any of the sub-component annotation lists. From the notification centre, I can right click - Edit Annotation or Locate In Model Tree. Neither of these functions seem to do anything. The edit opens up the Geometric Tolerance feature but I cannot make any changes. Locate in Model Tree also doesn't show where it is located in the model tree. Where is this hiding and how do I show it/remove it? Pre-edit: while filling this out, I have discovered that 'Locate In Model Tree - Delete' deletes it and resolves my issue, however doesn't answer the question of where it was being hidden. Does anyone have any idea how one would locate a GTOL that has been hidden from the tree? Running on Version 8.0.4.0    

Hello, I am trying to create a mapkey that allows me to export a drawing as a PDF with the filename from a parameter I created. The parameter I created contains the part number and revision of the drawing being exported. However, when I copy the 'FILENAME' parameter, the mapkey appears to only copy the 'FILENAME' parameter from the original session. Is there any good way to copy a parameter from the active part while recording a mapkey? Thank you!Jeff H.
