Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I could open parts fine in Creo 3 M120 / WC 10.2 fine for years but then recently I get the "cannot be retrieved" error whenever I try and open something from my workspace.  I have tried the following so far:1. Using another PC - same error2. Logging in with another user on my pc - works fine3. Reinstalling Creo 3 M120 on my pc - error persists4. Clearing cache - error persists5. Deleting all existing workspaces and creating a new one - error persists6. Deleting user and re-adding in WC - error persists I think it must be a Creo agent issue or something similar? I have run out of ideas...  

I would very much like to add a column to my BOM then make the lines invisible. I want to have one or more parameters attached to the BOM but off the page of the drawing because no ones going to like having a bunch of lines on the page to the right of the BOM like a column didn't get printed.

Software: Creo Parametric 7.0.10.0   I want to assign some sheet metal design rules and have created one. Can we verify those rules in the model. I tried using "MODEL CHECK Rule Check". But I'm getting this error "Cannot read rules from file". I have saved the rules in this filename "design_rule_test.rul" (as saved from Model properties). But in creo documentation, it is mentioned that the file should have ".rule" extension. I have also created "RC_MODEL_TYPE" parameter. How to do this correctly. Am I doing something wrong?    

Dear Team,I have created a custom parameter into the assembly, Now I want to call this parameter into BOM table. I know how to use repeat region, but I am not able to call the assembly custom parameter into drawing BOM table. Please help. 

 

I cannot find the setting, I believe in the DTL to change the default behavior for new projected views.  What we want is for the view to come in WITHOUT any of the annotations displayed.  I have seen this behavior in the past (at different company/installations) but we see all the annotations that are in the acceptable orientation display and we are forced to do a bunch of cleanup work.  We would like to eliminate that.  thanks in advance!

hi All I am facing an issue with a 3D assembly. Everytime I open the assembly with a simplified representation (not Master or automatic) and regenerate the model, the model changes partially to wireframe (not all parts, only some of them) and these parts are not selectable anymore. does anyone have and idea what the problem here is? Creo 7.0.12.0 with Windchill 11 thanks in advance  

How do you modify the config.pro file on Creo 4.0 M-150.

I need to import .prt file in solid works with minimum data loss and in editable format. Also with feature recognition as accurate as posiible.  I tried importing one .prt file in solid works but data and feature recognition is not properly extracted. Please help me with this

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.8.0Is there any possibilty to copy as external representation in toolkit? (similar to Copy As External command in Creo)

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with Creo 9.0.1.0 Parametric Educational Edition, as the program does not let me export drawings in PDF format if they contain certain symbols.For example, the following drawing is exported correctly:While if I change the radius dimension to a diameter one, containing the symbol  Φ instead of the letter R, as in the following:I get this error:And the export is not carried out.Has anyone experienced the same issue and know how to solve it?Thank you very much,Andrea.    

Is there any way to change the line weights of a sketch made in a .prt or .asm when you print out the .drw it's used in? The pen tables don't do anything, the the line style can change the color, but doesn't seem to do anything about weight, changing the options in the 3D cad app doesn't seem to propogate the change to the PDF.  Any ideas? Thanks! I'm on creo 9

Dear all,  Currently I do make BOM by using a templated table in 2D environment. The quantity parameter is working just fine because this method counts how many parts of each do exist in the assembly.  However I also need the quantity in my individual part drawings and my struggle comes from this need. To tackle this issue I tryed to use the EMX BOM but is not suitable since I need to change a lot of parameters manually and everytime I update the BOM, most of them change automatically to the original ones. However the filling of the individual quantity parameter works just fine. My question is: Is there a possiblity to create a button to fill and update the individual part quantity parameter, only, in order to appear in the individual part 2D drawing? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,   Please help me adding the full file path name in drawing print out. Is it a printer setting or creo config's setting? Let me know please.

Hello,I am using Creo 7.0.9.0 and have a question about adding notes to a drawing. I am creating GD&T feature control frames by manually typing it into a note so I can put it on an angle, as seen below. (This was a drawing I made a while back).  Now, I am trying to re-create this same thing on a new drawing, but the feature control frame is hovering above the leader line, as seen below I have tried to copy and paste from the old drawing to the new drawing and it still causes the 'hovering' look. I've gone through drawing properties to see if any config settings would be applicable but nothing is standing out. It appears as if something in our drawing template has changed but I'm not sure what. Would anyone be able to help me out so that there is no gap between the leader line and feature control frame?

Creo 7.0 I've been working in an assembly for a week. Just today when I add anymore cad geometry to it I get a "frozen" symbol. If I fully mate the part down it appears correct until I hit ok. Then it jumps to another location and in my model tree I get the pause or "frozen" symbol. I can delete/re-add mates, or try reinserting the parts, but I get the same result. Not sure what's going on. Maybe I accidentally triggered an option somewhere? Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

I wanted to create an animation of my robotic hand. The first step is to save the mechanism playback file so I can import into the animation menu. My problem is to I don't know how to create a reciprocating motion, where the robotic finger begins in a straight position, bends, and then returns to its original straight position. I need to know how to reverse the motion for my robotic hand in mechanism playback. I can only make the motion from the straight position and bend without returning to the initial straight position (reciprocating). My idea is to make a separate servo motor and analysis for bending motion and make another one for back straight motion so I can import this 2 mechanisms playback to my animation so it will looks like "reciprocating motion".. However, I am not sure if this will work and believe it to be  complicated. Is there a more efficient way to produce reverse/reciprocating results?

Anyone can tell how do we change the font size of the creo UI. I mean the overall size in ribbons, model tree and all?

Hi guys,   I have a released assembly drawing with 8 child level items(refer attachment). I want to revise this assembly to remove item 6 and add a new part item 9. Now when revising an assembly we usually make the required changes directly in assembly model and then go to drawing at a later stage. By then the BOM auto updates and newly added item takes number item 6 even after fixing index.   I have below questions regarding it 1. Is it possible to skip item no. 6 in BOM table during the above process and how? 2. Is it possible to make changes in BOM table before releasing a drawing so when we change anything in assembly later on it should not affect our released drawing bom and its sequence?  3. Is it possible to strikeout item 6 in BOM when it is removed from the assembly or something similar so that when a user reads the next revision drawing he is able to understand the changes done?  4.  Any advice on BOM revision best practices for Creo 4.0  &n

I am using Creo 9.0 version ,I need to apply the Insulation on the pipe and fitting,  however after applying insulation through insulation feature it only considers the pipe segment and do not consider fitting, In order to create the insulation on fitting i need to do it manually which is ok for small assembly but in cases where plant is design here it becomes difficult to user  to each insulation manually  There must be provision to where insulation feature also considers the fitting involve, 

Hi, how do you define the tool for the lathe.I didn't get it from the instructionsI tried to create a Solid tool and I added CSYS TIP and CREO doesn't want to create paths even though I increased BACK_CLEAR_ANGLE. Could someone send me an example of how you define this?Thanks in advance

I am cleaning up a model. Running Creo 7. There are Creo "Simulation Studies" showing up in the model tree. I went into the Creo Simulation app, and blew away all of the simulation elements. However, when i exit the app and go back to the model tab, the simulation studies still show up in the model tree... When I right click to delete them, nothing happens. Same when I highlight them and hit the delete button. 

Hi, all. A client opened an assembly from disk in Automatic Rep, then saved it into Windchill, which resulted in a bunch of ghost parts. Lesson leaned: Don't do that. He says he likes Automatic Rep but he's afraid to use it in case there are other problems like this. He asked me if there are other things to look out for, and I couldn't think of any, as my experience with Automatic Rep is limited. He also said he didn't trust PTC documentation, "since that just says it's great". So I thought I'd ask here about your experiences with working with the Automatic Rep. Do you use it? How do you use it? Are there things to watch out for? My limited experience has been that it makes models quicker to open but slow to work with (since new data must be loaded as you are working). What are your experiences?

Hi,I have an assembly where the Creo Parametric Cabling wires are no longer showing the correct thickness that's specified in the spools that are assigned to the harness. I have made sure that the thick cables option turned on for display setting and not center lines.As I open the assembly in Creo it initially looks like this (should be black as last saved and stay this large size)Then when the assembly finishes opening in Creo it looks like this with thicken display onThis is what it looks like when center line display setting turned onThe diameter of the insulation in the spool table set to 0.201 inches diameter and its showing up in the assembly like 0.01" diameter. Any ideas on how to get the wires to show proper size from the spool tables for the harness?Thanks for any help you may provide,Don ACreo Parametric 8.0.5.0   

Dear Creo Users,This is the list of problems or queries I have faced while using PTC Creo. Is there any updates on these topics in creo 3.0 and 4.0?Can anyone request PTC Developers to update PTC creo regarding this issue?1) Pattern option ( at least Linear and Circular pattern) can be incorporated in Creo Sketch2) Creo Sheetmetal Unbend option can be updated when unbending some complex blend, sweep or sweep blend options are used to make complicated hopper like parts in creo sheetmetal.3) Creo sketch palette can be updated by incorporating some new mechanical related profiles.(Its true we can create our own sketch but it will be helpful if some complex mechanical profiles are incorporated in sketch palette)4) Some tutorials in Learning Exchange and creo help can be updated regarding creo mechanism constraints like how to use ball, planar, general , bearing mechanism connection.5) More materials can be incorporated in ptc creo materials so that it can be easy to filnd weight and densit
