Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have wing geometry that I would like to have as one body. There are lines traveling the span of the wing subdividing it and I would like to get rid of them if that is possible so that it is not subdivided at all. They have given me some trouble when exporting the geometry for meshing, though I'm not sure why. I would appreciate any help. I have included a picture of what I am talking about. I have shrinkwrapped the file but it still has these lines. This is Creo (8) Student Edition. 

Dear all, I have searched the PTC and this user community portal for help in creating parametric internal and external spline parts. There are many posts on these but none of them have a solution. Has anyone solved or found an easy method to generate internal and external helical splines? Thanks and regards,Jay

Hi everyone,I have a mechanism analysis set up involving three hydraulic cylinders linked to a common part. During the analysis, I get an expected failure, "The mechanism constrains could not be satisfied. The mechanism could not be assembled." I get this error because I defined the ranges of operation for the hydraulic cylinders, and one of them is going out of range.Currently, I have translation servo motors driving the motion of the cylinder rods. The motion is defined such that every combination of cylinder extension/retraction is tested (i.e. cylinder 1 is fully extended while the others are retracted, then cylinder 2 is extended alone, then 3, then cylinder 1 and 2 but not 3, etc...). These numbers are loaded from a table in the motor definition, and the only way that I know how to fix the constraint issue is to analyze the failure point and redefine the motor magnitudes at the time of fail.Is there a way to run the analysis such that the program will run without causing constrai

Every CSYS is mathematically defined in space by 6 parameters.Is it possible to retrieve these 6 parameters (XYZ-translation + XYZ rotation) in Creo?The XYZ translation is easy: it's just a measurement feature.But the rotational parameters are not that simple.Does anybody knows how to do this?Some background:I have a CSYS, somewhere in a complex assembly. It is defined by a long chain of features and dependencies, interconnected with parameters and relations.At the end of the road, I would like to know the exact position of this CSYS, with reference to the base CSYS.With these 6 parameters, I should be able to create a new CSYS, referenced to the base CSYS, and equal to the original CSYS.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Jeroen.

I have created a mapkey that users use for updating legacy Creo parts (Creo 6 and earlier).  We are now on Creo 9.The mapkey checks for missing relations and parameters (including restricted) then adds them if they are missing.  The issue is that it will duplicate relations that already exist.  I put a pause in the mapkey telling them to delete old relations before continuing but we know that doesn't usually work. I also have Modecheck running looking for the missing relations and errors if they are missing.  It tries to add them even if they exist due to the fact that they are in the Post Regeneration relations. The relations that Modelcheck adds appear in the Initial relations. The reason for locating them in the Post Regeneration was that it was overwriting legacy relations located in the Initial relations.  It is causing a regeneration issue that Modelcheck flags.In my mapkey I have relation written to bypass a couple relation (these came from PTC

After interaction with Windchill check-in, a parent assembly demonstrates what I can best describe as a dynamic transparency.  Tracking with view orientation, assembly component portions that would be invisible within a mating part are visible (with display style set to any shaded version).  It's as if there's a dynamic clipping mode or transparency mode.  I have not been able to determine what settings are in effect or have changed.  Children of the parent do not demonstrate this issue.  Thanks for any assistance.

Hello, I'm a newbie to toolkit programming. I'm exporting a shrinkwrap model through toolkit. I want to add a new name to exported model. Could anyone specify how can I acheve that? My requirement is, when I click a button in Creo, user prompt should ask for a new model name. Once I enter it should assign to new model name. Is it possible?

We used to have an easy option to extract one body from another, but I am at a standstill in Creo 7..0.8.0. I need to solidify (or fill solid with shrinkwrap,) an existing import body. Shrinkwrap leaves the internal cavity. Then I need to extract this body from a fixture to be made to hold it. These are complex castings and not easy stuff like cubes and cylinders in youtube.

(I'm using Creo 8.0.3.0.  Thanks in advance for any help with this!)Hi, my situation is the following:I start with a simple single body part file. It starts out with a default PTC_SYSTEM_MTRL_PROPS material assigned. The density field is blank. When I access "Model Properties > Mass Properties > change", I see that "Assigned Material Density" is "missing" and I can't calculate the mass properties. So I adjust the Material Definition to have an arbitrary density value (1e-6 kg/mm^3). This enables me to calculate the mass properties, including mass and inertia. Next, I want to specify that the part body be 1 kg in mass. So I go to "Model Properties > Mass Properties > change > Define Properties by > Geometry and Parameters". This lets me type in a mass value of "1 kg", and when I click "calculate", it calculates the correct density, given the geometry of the part, to achieve the target mass. At this point I expect the new density of the geometry to a

Hi! I have a problem using the ProUITree function to perform keyboard input operations.Previously, I had successfully implemented the function of keyboard input text into cells using ProUIInputpanel and ProUITable controlscomponent.The documentation in the Toolkit Guide found the following related functions to implement:ProUITreeenableCellkeyboardinput (true)//Allow tree controls to respond to keyboard operationsProUITreeTreecellinputActionSet()//Set the response action for the controlProUITreeTreecellinputGet()//Get input textProUITreeNodeColumnntextSet()//Set text content But the result is that the operation function was not called after calling ProUITreeNodeColumnntextSet to set the text contentCan anyone with experience explain how to use these functions or provide sample code?thanks!

I am trying to post out a thread cycle through creo for a Haas lathe. On the cycle line itself it only posts out g76 g98 f20. I've looked through the post processor and changed a few things in the threading cycle area but nothing has changed.Any ideas? Thanks,

I just opened a ticket but this looks like a bug and I am wondering if any of you have encountered this and have a good work around. It looks like in Creo 9.0.7 its not respecting independent layer status. When I try and hide a curve in one view it effects the top drawing layer status even though it is not set as such.     We just made the jump and have found some other small issues but this is the biggest one for us.

Hi everyone, how can I replace a dimension on the view that I want, instead of the view proposed by creo? Best regards. Michele Barile I want to place the dimension proposed by this command, but not in this view, in another view.  

Hi all,   I'm running Creo 2.0 Student Edition. Under Collision Detection Settings>Optional Settings, I only have the option for "Sound Warning on Collision". I'm looking for the option to "Stop when colliding". Is this a limitation on the student edition?   Thanks in advance

Creo 7.0.10   Does anyone know how to search for sketcher dimensions or relations using the search tool? I am debugging a model with sketcher relations. I know there are two relations in the model that are sketcher relations from reviewing the message log of the part. Any search tool query that would identify the sketch or feature that is using the sketcher relations would make my life easier when dealing with these.     Do not use sketcher relations unless there is no other way to capture the design intent required. It makes debugging models convoluted. The only sketch relation that is unavoidable that I am aware of is when the trajpar parameter is used in a sweep and needs to be controlled with a relation. There may be others, if you know of one or more post it here for reference.

Hi Guys, I want to share the model to the vendor but vendor can view only they can’t measure manually and modify it. Is there any option for this? Regards, Aj

Hello, I'm having some trouble understanding which programming tools for Creo Parametric are free and which require licensing. When I open the "ReadMe.txt" file in the otk_java_free folder in my Creo Parametric installation, the is a note about downloading the user guide: --otk_java_free User's Guide-------------------Please refer to the PTC Creo Object TOOLKIT Java User's Guide.The User's Guide is available in a PDF format. This file is located at:<creo_loadpoint>/Common Files/otk_java_doc/otk_javaug.pdf-- When I open that document, the title is "Creo Object TOOLKIT Java" user guide and it includes a big section about licensing and needing a Creo Object Toolkit license. When I try to load the sample "InstallTest" sample I get an error trying to load it. I do NOT have a OTK Toolkit license but I do have a Creo Parametric License. Can anyone explain is this sample SHOULD be able to run on my system and maybe point me to a resource to get it running? I have

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes ModelCheck will flag a word as misspelled even though it is in the user_words dictionary file? I even cut and pasted the word from the ModelCheck results flagging it as an error into the user_words file and the next run it gets flagged again as misspelled. The word is CONTAINMENT. We are running Creo 9.0.5.0.

Start file (MCS) entries in my ModelCheck configuration folder:PRT_PARAMETER MY_PARAM NONE EQ PDMPRT_PARAMETER MY_PARAM STR EQ TEST1This is working OK in Interactive mode,MC creates the parameter as Designated:Error message when running MC in Save mode:Missing items PARAMETER: MY_PARAM Type: STR(see the attached screenshot with results from Interactive and Save Mode)Creo version 7.0.2.0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.6.0 The 3D Sketcher dimensions are marked with (E) like a symbol. I am inquiring because I cannot find any correlation between modifications, relations, and parameters.   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.6.03d 스케쳐 치수에 심볼 기호처럼 (E) 표기가 되었음. 수정 및, 관계식, 매개변수에 연관관계를 찾지 못해 문의 드립니다.

I am trying to modify the built-in weld symbol (ISO) to be used with the Weld Tool for 3d annotations. However, it seems that the Weld Tool is building the symbol from left to right in the code from a bounding box around the individual elements (weld size or weld length). The tool will stretch or shrink the symbol to fit, however if I try to add elements it will also try to place a bounding box around the elements that I add and it ends up way too long. A manually placed symbol looks correct, however, a symbol placed by the weld tool will show spread out with empty space in between the elements. If I move the custom lines from one group to another, they will stretch the symbol in different ways.Creo 9.0.2.0Does anyone have experience with this? Any suggestions on how to modify the existing symbol without disrupting this built-in auto-spacing?

Hi, I am looking to delete a family table in a part. I remember in the past when the deleting the table I got some sort of warning that the instances would become standalone. I deleted the table and did not get a warning. I file the part as well as each instance in my workspace. I checked all out and then checked all in. There were no errors on check in. I looked at Windchill commonspace and the generic and instances were modified. The reason why I am breaking this table up is because I am trying to delete an assembly in common space. I am actually deleting an entire folder that is not related to anything else in Windchill. Its all standalone that I imported. I get a warning that it can't delete the generic because I need to also delete the instances. I don't know why? I broke the table and am selecting the generic and the instances. Maybe I'm missing something? WayneF
