Creo+ and Creo Parametric

CREO Parametric 8.0.5 with  NC Complete. I am working on setup up work center for Okuma mill-turn. Okuma uses common variables instead of work offsets. Has anyone setup a work center like this before or have some useful reference materials/videos for this?  

Hi, after reading those 2 topics :Solved: Switch Simplified Rep without redoing BOM Balloons... - PTC CommunityRedefine a master rep general view and convert it ... - PTC Community. I tried it in Creo 8.0.4.0 and saw that the "Default Rep" was not available in my drawings (example pics 1 / 2) whereas any other representation that I created were accessible. Picture 1 : View manager from my ASM file "A_SUPPV4854.asm" Picture 2 : From my DRW file "A_SUPPV4854.drw"  Is there any other way of selecting it without redoing BOM Balloons ? Thank you.

I am using Creo6 - version: 6.0.6.0swept wire bundle using trajpar does not show hidden lines correctly in drawing view.I've tried changing display settings, part accuracy settings; nothing seems to fix the issue; any ideas ?    thanksRich

Hi, I have figured out how to borrow a license and to set it in my system valiable. I have a few questions: 1. How do I return a license before its due date? 2. If I do not return the license before it's due date and check out a licence for more time, for example.....will the first one I borrowed still remain borrowed for the time left? I guess what I'm saying is.....do I have to return the license back before borrowing another? I don't want to monopolize the licenses. Thanks, Wayne

I can hardly work a full day without bumping into one bug or another. I am forever trying to find workarounds to accomplish things. Today's big disappointment (embarrassment): On a Slack Huddle with a customer, we made some model changes on the fly. Then, they asked how that affects assembly weight. Simple enough question, right? No. How embarrassing I had to say, "No this high-end CAD system can't properly calculate mass." See Case 17244081. On some parts, Creo can't remember the assigned density, so my 58-ish lb assembly shows as 604800 lbs. I have to delete and reassign the material of certain parts frequently. I don't suppose all the advertising in the world will convince my customer to buy Creo now. They did have a good laugh, however. Use this thread to share your own horror stories. Yes, you can berate me for not using the tread appropriately. That's OK. It needs to be published. In spite of all the Tech Support calls they whitewash (instead of

I had Creo 8.0 installed on my machine, and I needed to install Creo 10, but my Flexnet wasn't compatible, so I had to remove everything and install Creo 10 again, but now it doesn't want to install Flexnet again, is there any way to do this?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM070When I opened the 3D model, particularly complex in shape, it ended up resembling radiation or an explosion, making it unusable. What could be the cause of this issue? Could it be due to insufficient specs on my computer? Please help.

Why do some of the annotation planes orient plane, appear red ?CREO Parametric 7.0100 

I use the Compare Part, by Geometry quite often when making modeling changes.  Mostly with complex die cast models to verify that after I make a change, nothing accidentally changes.  When I un-click the “Show only changed areas” box in the popup window, select my spacing and tolerance, after it runs thru it, when I try to rotate, pan, zoom model, it moves very slowly and jerky, pretty much unusable.  If I check the “Show only changed areas” box then it will rotate, pan & zoom faster.  Problem is on our cast and machined castings, we designate blue surfaces as “to be machined” surface on cast models and red surfaces are “machined” surfaces in our machined models.  So when I do a compare and check the Show only changed areas, I have to be careful since we use the blue and red surfaces in our models. Is there anyway to keep the Show only changed areas box unchecked and speed up the pan, zoom, rotate the model after the results post?  If not, is ther

I am attempting to export a 1:1 scale view with no format to DXF for Router/laser cutting.  All exported through API Toolkit callls traversing assemblies.  Thats all working great.  I am using a dxf_export.pro file to map layers.  Which is all  working fine.    Some layers determine tooling options such as etching or determines that a punch tool is required.   The NC software is configured to handle the mapped enumerated layering.    Here is what the mapping file looks like.map_layer 7_ALL_COSMETICS 99map_layer 3_ALL_CURVES 99map_layer 5_ALL_CURVES 99map_layer 2_ALL_CSYS 99map_layer 8_ALL_ROUNDS 0map_layer 9_ALL_HOLES 0map_layer 3_ALL_AXES 0! the above layers are my Default layers set up in Creo Config.pro  years ago, in our Por_foundation rollout. ! the following layers are standard layers we defined for engineers to use to control map_layer COSM_PUNCH 6map_layer CURVE_PUNCH 6map_layer COSM_ETCH 4map_layer COSM

Hi all, A supplier has sent us a step of an assembly file that we will be using.I want to import it as a single part but when i do the assembly model looks like it loses its' constraints and 'falls to bits'. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, I have a very simple question. How do I see the status of licenses on my network at work? I tried ptcstatus.bat and don't really see what I am looking for. I would like to see all the creo parametric licenses in particular and if used or borrowed. Thanks, WayneF  

I am having no luck in applying servomotors to mechanisms. I have done it in the past but either I Am missing some step or creo is not functioning. Using manufacturer supplied assemblies was my first thought for source of failures. so I manually redefined the piston to the cylinder. no luck. Then I made a super rudimentary piston/cylinder assy. nope. I can drag the piston and the limits work as intended in the model. However, in mechanism, I can only get a partial move then it fails with errors.  error msg with 2 servos:  All position constraints can't be simultaneously satisfied. The following position constraints can't be satisfied:1) Servo motor constraint for servo motor Motor 1 in model 62205K194_NO_THREADS_HYDRAULIC_ can't be satisfied.  2) Servo motor constraint for servo motor Motor 2 in model 62205K194_NO_THREADS_HYDRAULIC_ can't be satisfied.    or with a single servo:All position constraints can't be simultaneously satisfied.

Hi all.  Version 9.0.4.0 Alot of our assemblies use thread-rolling or thread-cutting screws into sheetmetal so by design the hole size is smaller than the OD of the screw.  I do understand why this is rendering this way but I was wondering if anyone had a good workaround?  I've had people use extrude cuts in the assembly to enlarge the holes but those do add a step to their work and also seem to slow down the processing some.  Anyone know a better way?  Maybe a way to have a screw drawn and measurable to it's correct OD but render slightly smaller?Thanks in advance!Brad 

Hi all, I have been searching the forum, and could not find the same issue, similar, but not same. This is a straight forward part that I am trying to get flat, any ideas how to do it? I used a blend to make it, if there is a different way to make it please point me in that direction? I did try flatten quilt, but the measurements are off for sure.  any help would be greatly apprecaited!   thanks 

I'm installing Creo 10 when I put in the license it accepts it, when I open Creo it gives a license error

While using Creo 9 Mechanism Dynamics Option (MDO) for analyzing design system, user is getting the error "Mechanism Dynamics is required for this analysis type". After re-installation it worked. But when Creo is closed and re-launched, again the dynamic function is lost.Because of this issue, user cannot close Creo session. If closed, this is lost.   

We have both Design Essentials licenses and Design Advanced licenses. The one difference is that Design Essentials does not have the optional module Assembly (#6) in the list of modules. We can create assemblies with the Design Essentials license, so there has to be something more in the module besides just assembly creation.  Does anyone have better definition of what is provided by using the Design Advanced licenses with the Assembly module over the Design Essentials license?

Hello everyone, first of all. I want the spring in the assembly part I'm using to be movable. I've tried a lot of videos on this topic, but I couldn't assemble the springs I made the way I wanted. Can you help me with this?

Does anyone know how/if possible to save a part file or assembly to an older version of creo? Example: a part or assembly made in Creo 7.0 save a version that can be opened back in Creo 6.0        

Hello,   Does anyone used Creo on MS Azure ? If yes, can you please describe your rendering experience and the hardware specs you are using ?   Thank you. 

To have config option to enable draw scale to dynamically update according to the scale defined in the latest view placed in the Drawing. This should happen irrespective of any representations used in the view. Business justification: Whenever a view is placed under the config option default_draw_scale with value -1, the view will get placed with scale defined by creo based on sheet size the overall dimension of the 3D model. the Default value of the draw scale in the Title block do not get changed automatically while the scale of the view will be different than draw scale. This leads to confusion when sent to vendors.

Hello. I am wondering that if it is possible to manage the assembly references in part mode. For example, i would like to open a part in assembly mode, then i will replace the reference for that part in part mode.

Hello, everybody:I am trying to generate a PVZ file using simplified reps to only show a part of a bigger assembly. In the Annotate tab of CREO I have the correct components on display but when I export the file to CREO view I get extra components that should be hidden. Any idea of why this happens and how I could fix this? I have attached photos of the CAD view and the PVZ output below.Thanks in advanced for the help 🙂

Hi alls,I'll have to go and work at my client office soon.I must use my notebook (Win 7 x64) with Wildfire 2 and Intralink 3.4.Now, I'm working with Creo 2/3, what a big change...So, I'm wondering if those a little bit old softwares will work on my Win10 x64 computer or must I install an older OS (win7, x32/64... ?)Thanks for any advice,Dominique
