Hi all, We are in CREO 10.0.7.0. Since Creo 8, we can no longer keep the symbol palette open.As soon as a symbol is placed, it closes immediately. I don't recall the symbol palette behaving this way in previous versions.This seems to be the normal behavior of Creo. Is there an option to keep it open? How do you add multiple symbols consecutively without having to reopen the palette from the Annotation ribbon?Best regards Dominique

The traditional Creo Simulate supports distributed computing, allowing users to sent their simulation tasks to workstation servers for computationally intensive tasks.Just wondering if "Creo Ansys" supports distributed computing technology as traditional Creo Simulate does?

Hello,I have an electronic board on which I'm trying to create a surface across all the pads. I can with the projection tool into the sketch but this is very tedious. I did it on 3 pads to give you an idea, but the surface should be present on all the grey pads. This surface will be use in creo machining for programming a laser machine in order to clean the pads. I try to create a section then a curve from it but I can't fill in the curve...Do you have any ideas ? Thanks in advance 

We switched to Creo Parametric 11.0.5.0 on Monday.Now we’ve noticed that when we save an assembly that hasn’t been modified, all the contained parts and assemblies that are in an older Creo version are also being saved. In one example, 160 out of 211 Creo files were saved. The config.pro save option is set to save_objects changed_and_specified. Even save_objects changed has no effect.The problem is that our document management tool “Workspaces Desktop” from the company Contact interprets this as a change and now considers all these documents as modified, wanting to save them or even re-index documents that have already been released. That would be disastrous.Has there been an adjustment on PTC’s side? This behavior was definitely different in Creo 9 and previous versions! It’s not related to versioning. That option should remain active.This is about saving files that have not been changed. We just tested again with Creo 9 using a different assembly. Same procedure: once with Creo 9, on

Hello everyone,We use Creo10.0. and Java Object Toolkit to run a macroA:~ Command `ProCmdUtilTrailTrain` < 2 0.118519 178 0 0 100 1920 0 0 1080 13 ~ Trail `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `DLG_PREVIEW_POST` `file_open` ~ Select `file_open` `Ph_list.Filelist` 1 `macroB.txt` ~ Command `ProFileSelPushOpen_Standard@context_dlg_open_cmd`It should call another macro - macroB.txt When we run macroA manually in Creo using "Play Trail File" it works fine.When we run it using Java Object Toolkit - RunMacro method, it opens the dialog but the last step - clicking the "Open" button - is not performed. If we watch it in the UI and click the Open button manually, it correctly calls macroB. Thank you for any hint.

Hello everyone,I’m trying to insert a brachistochrone curve into a 3D model in Creo Parametric 10 on the XY-plane using the “Curve from Equation” feature. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get it to work… The only result I get is a short straight line segment.The formula for the brachistochrone curve should be:R = 4.8 (own shoosen radius)X = R * ( T - sin(T) )Y = R * ( cos(T) - 1 )Tmax = 3.142 (= Pi)Can someone help me with this?This is what my result is: 

Hi, I'm trying to build sample app using PTC sample code as reference. Is it possible and can someone help how to select reference surfaces for skethed extrusion. Selection:pfcSelectionOptions_ptr dirSelopts = pfcSelectionOptions::Create("surface, datum");dirSelopts->SetMaxNumSels(2); pfcSelections_ptr dirSels = Session->Select(dirSelopts);Is this done correctly? How can I use selections here:localElem.CreateSelectionElem(PRO_E_STD_SEC_PLANE, 3, curModel, 1, 4, newElems);localElem.CreateSelectionElem(PRO_E_STD_SEC_PLANE_ORIENT_REF, 3, curModel, 1, 2, newElems);Or is it this simple at all? I'm using Creo 12, but I do not think it matters in this case. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0We want to create a dimension table in the drawing which contains all the user defined dimensions in the drawing

Hi,I know I'm old and still use Proe WF4 + Intralink 3.4, butI have a question that maybe can be resolved.Even though I have Creo and PDM Essentials, I don't use Creo because I find PDM Essentials inflexible for my situation, but I've already explained the problems in other posts. This is the layer problem.I have a drawing with 5 or more views where I've customized the layers on and off.The layers on and off are the same for each view.With PDM, I swap a part in the assembly, where the AA layer is hidden, with another similar part that also has the AA layer.In the parts, the AA layer is always hidden.Once I regenerate the 5 views in the assembly drawing, the AA layer of the new part is visible again, while the remaining hidden ones remain hidden.Now I have to manually intervene on each view and re-hide it.QuestionEven though the two parts are practically identical (small, non-essential things like rounding and dimensions change), why does the layer reactivate in the assembly drawin

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.12.0We still use a perpetual DIAGRAM license, by setting the 'enable_obsolete_modes yes' setting. We had it working a while ago but now we get the message belowHere are the errors that I facedThis functionality requires one of: DIAGRAM

Creo version: all versions are affectedWe have noticed that some users are unable to open Creo through the Netskope Private Access service, while others can. All policies and private app definitions are identical.The application becomes unresponsive, and users must force-close the window to stop the process.The only difference between the two groups appears to be the Wi-Fi provider they are using.Users who connect successfully and consistently are using an iPhone hotspot, while those experiencing unstable or failed connections are using home/office Wi-Fi or an Android hotspot.The issue is reproducible when testing with the same user across different Wi-Fi sources.Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Hi All,I’m trying to find out if it’s possible to create a new exploded view and adjust the positions of the components.I’ve created a mapkey to generate a new view, and that part works fine. However, I’m having trouble figuring out how to move the components. I don’t have access to the full toolkit, so I’m looking for creative ways to accomplish this.Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.4.0Can not mirror part along the plane properly in assembly if selected "Reuse existing model". Works ok if selected "Create a new model". Just toggling that option creates parts in two different locations

This is my first independent attempt at a dynamic mechanism analysis.I have four horizontal sliders on a slide base that has a dove tail groove down the middle.The sliders have a rectangular shape, with straight plane faces, and are all 100 mm wide.The first slider is a servo motor, start position 0 and the end position is 900.Sliders 2, 3, 4 have start positions 200, 400 and 600 respectively, and end position 900.Distance between sliders is 100 mm.I have set Collision Detection to Global Detection and to Push Objects upon collision. My starting problem was establishing the proper 3D Contacts between the four sliders, and I made a mess of it in the end.Out of sheer desperation I added masses to all sliders (picked steel in the end, as I had a lot of problems with brass, for unknown reasons) and I fumbled with Damping = 80, Young’s modulus = 2e6 to 5e6 and Poisson = 0.30 (without really understanding how these really work).This is one of the error messages from that stage:"The prop

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0I want to create a limit belnd between 14 sections, the first one is a rectangle the others 13 are rectangles whose upper edge has been replaced by an arc. Creo doesnt allow me to do that. Why? whant can i do?

Hi,is it possible to perform a calculation based on an if-statement in a drawing repeat region relation?Prerequisite:Model units: mm Kg s I would like to multiply mdl_pro_mp_mass by 1000 if model parameter mass_unit is set to g instead of kg. Something like this:mass_display = mdl_pro_mp_massif mass_unit == "g"mass_display = mdl_pro_mp_mass * 1000endif It's only the IF that doesn't work; the calculation works fine if tested separately. It works in a Post Regeneration relation in the model (using pro_mp_mass instead of mdl_pro_mp_mass), but I would like to not add the relation in the model. Tested on both Creo 9.0.3.0 and 11.0.6.0 Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! 🖖

Hi there,I was creating few annotation in creo drawing, so there i want to add custom symbols in my annotation.I tried to finding where this symbols are saved but i can find it, i found one way but it was for adding pre defined symbols in note (By &sym(symbol name) but that does not work for annotation.so my question is, how we can add custom symbols in annotation (i.e. in Prefix/Suffix).

Hi, I used to use Publish Geometry and skeletons with my Creo3 Advanced XE.I now have a Creo7 Essentials licence.One of Optional Modules : #Optional Modules = ASSY_PERFORMANCE.But it seems that I can't use Published Geometry.Is this normal?Any advice?Thank you 

Hello everyone! Is there a way for select only a portion on a line? For example I want to select one portion of the line with one style and another portion of the same line with a different style. For now i can only select the whole line. In the screenshot i want the part in violet to be a different style from the green one part. Creo allow me to only select the whole line. I found this Advanced Selection Functions  but i can't find this menu, can you please tell me how i can activate it? As always thank you 

Hello,I'm currently working on Creo3.I have a licence file for Creo7 (permanent) that I need for a new client.I d'ont have subscription anymore.When I'm trying to add this licence file (txt) while installing Creo7, installer seems to freeze.File is for my computer.Should I remove my previous licence ?But I'm afraid to can not be able to work...Thanks 

Hi, I'm not able to show a component placement dimension (distance constraint) on an assembly drawing in Creo Parametric 10.  Would anyone know what config option needs to be changed or what I need to do to allow dimensions related to component placement to be shown?  I'm able to show dimension for feature internal to the part only. Thanks for any help you may provide,Don A

There are a plethora of discussions on converting real numbers to strings.  While PTC tech support does provide two working suggestions, they are not simple.  Beyond that, I have been unable to find anything on the PTC Community that will work in all cases.  (See list at bottom.)  With that as the background, here is my attempt at a robust real-to-string function that I believe works correctly for all positive numbers.  Please test this out and let me know if you can find any errors with it.   /* Real NumberX = 12.34567 /* Number of DigitsND = 3 /* Rounded NumberRN = FLOOR((X+(5/10^(ND+1))),ND) /* String Output - No Leading ZeroY = ITOS(FLOOR(RN))+"."+EXTRACT(ITOS((RN-FLOOR(RN)+1)*10^(ND)),2,ND)   * To get a zero before the decimal point for values less than one, a conditional statement is required:   /* String Output With Leading Zero IF FLOOR(RN) == 0     Y = "0."+EXTRACT(ITOS((RN-FLOOR(RN)+1)*10^(ND)),2,ND) ELSE   &nbs
