Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We're in testing phase of implementation of Creo 8.0.0.0.  I created a family table of a consumable.  In this case it's Loctite.  The generic is created from our start part which contains three datums, csys and some designated parameters.  There is no other geometry or features. Add our designated parameter of DESCRIPTION to the family table.  The instance names are the Loctite grades, 242, 243, 262  with corresponding description.  Verify and check-in to Windchill  and all is well. Assemble the instances into the assembly item.  Constrain the instance datums planes to the part where I want to callout Loctite.   Model tree looks correct.  Check into Windchill and WT and CAD structure looks right.  Create drawing, BOM table looks correct.  However, cannot show balloons for the Loctite instances as expected like any other component.  Hum..  Scratch head.  Figure balloons need something to

After I run a flow analysis on a part, (Creo 9.0) I am unable to open the part again. When I try to open the original part, I get a blank screen of the planes of the part, not the part as originally constructed. Please see below.Any insight would be helpful. Thank you.  

I am working in CREO 8.0  and I am trying to show multiple theta point charts/ spline tables in a drawing for one part. When i create the theta point chart/spline table it only shows me the values for one of the splines. How do i get 2 separate tables for the 2 separate splines?

Hi, I want to use the Creo Simulation Live Probe value in Relations.Is it possible to convert Probe values into analysis features? Thanks

Hi, we've just moved to Creo 9 (from 3) While I was hoping for improvements, I seem to be hitting "new & wonderful" head aches. issue today:simple, but annoying:  in an assembly, I want to highlight the part.  I used to just click it.  But now, it seems to select some feature of the part (surface, edge, axis, etc..) and not the part itself.  The work around seems to be to hold the 'ALT' key, then select the 'part'. I've tried to modify the options in the Options/Global/select, but that seems to create a new set of failures..  Seriously?!  what changed?!

Hello, I have a problem for pipe design, I use pipe application to create the 3D model normally .Our systems can used in different industry areas, Most times we only need to change the brand of those componets, and use same pipe line. I guess maybe we can use configurable product to make pipe design? So I can easily add or change the brand.   Seems pipe application cant insert configurable product or configurable model. Would anyone try this before?

Hello All,Is there any chance to use Quick Surface (Reverse Engineering tool) with integration to Creo Parametric 10.02.0? Quick surface HomePage : https://www.quicksurface3d.com/

I want to automate the steps required to convert the 3D solid model to 2D drawings. Can you tell me how can I automate the PTC creo to reduce the steps? Is it possible to link our written C++ script to PTC creo for automation?

CREO RELATIONS. I have a frame, let's say 500 x 350 (extruded) with a depth of 36 mm.There is a water cooling channel running across the frame, as shown in the image below. How can I make the water cooling channel change its pitch according to the frame size? For example, if I make the frame 350 x 350, the water cooling channel collapses on itself due to the number of channels overlapping the frame size. 

Hi,   I faced an issue when import drawing to a drw file. The matter as below: I have an Ori.drw and I want to create 2 sheets with the same 2D drawing in this file. Thus, I plotted one, then save as a new-name.drw (but common 3D data). Next, I import this new-name.drw to my Ori.drw. Sometimes all data completely import, both sheets remain same. However, sometimes the plotted dimension all gone for one of the sheet, only left sketches and part drawing. Does anyone have any idea why this happen and what should I do so that both drawing's data (dimension & sketches) are kept during import action,  Thanks.

As per the original post.    Good Morning Ty,   I'd like to use CREO to calculate the Area MOI of some non-uniform geometry. Prior to doing that I wanted to test the tool on a known Area MOI before applying it to the non-uniform geometry.   What I did was took an I-beam, calculated the Area MOI and then pulled the same beam into CREO and tried to use the analysis tool to confirm that it shows me the Area Moment of Inertia in the Inertia Tensor.  But the units for the Inertia tensor are for that of just plain MOI (lb/in^2) and not the Area Moment of Inertia (in^4) - how would I measure this using Creo for a cross section?   Thanks, MW

I'm trying to relocate (move!) the datum tag from the hole to the note:Similar to this view:I'm using version 7.0.9.0Thanks In Advance (TIA)Merl 

We just recently updated to CREO 10 (10.0.2.0) and found something interesting.  when we save our models, some are being saved with the wrong owner.  We were on CREO 6 and this didnt seem to be an issue at all.  We have our file versions turned on. For example, we have a part named stud_end_locking.prt.82 with owner as "XXXXXXXX" saved on 5/18/2023.  Today, user "YYYYYYYY" saved stud_end_locking.prt.83 and the owner is displaying as "ZZZZZZZZ"If I save an assembly with say 15 different parts, some of the new versions that save will have my user name as the owner and some will have other user names as the owner, even though that other owner hasn't even been in CREO parametric.  today I saved a part and a new version was created with the owner of someone who left the company over 6 months ago.in the screenshot, i saved .82 and today i saved .83, but as you can see, the owner is not me.  The owner of .83 is someone who left the company over 6 months

Community members... I'm making a cavity and every time I make the part it comes standard with "Units"=millimeter Newton Second (mmNs) AND Precision = Absolute 0.01. I would like to create a different measurement standard. As I am in Brazil, we use millimeters and the precision would like it to be Relative 0.0012. What configuration should I use? Thank you very much!   Creo 10.0.3.0   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate         Membros da comunidade... Estou fazendo uma cavidade e toda vez que faço a peça ela vem padrão com "Unidades"=milímetro Newton Segundo (mmNs) E Precisão = Absoluto 0,01. Eu gostaria de criar um padrão de medição diferente. Como estou no Brasil, usamos milímetros e a precisão gostaria que fosse Relativa 0,0012. Qual configuração devo usar? Muito Obrigado!  Creo 10,0.3.0

Hello - I am trying to apply a torsional load  onto a shaft in Creo Simulation Live.  I have tried several methods to apply a torque to the shaft.  For simplicity, I made a 1" diameter shaft that is 2" long.  I have one face fixed.  I tried applying a 37 in-lb moment load to the the opposite face in the z direction which is the axis of the shaft.  The XY shear stress that it returned with this method was extremely high.  Calculating by hand the shear stress should be 188 psi in the shaft.  I have the accuracy set to the maximum. I then tried applying a force of 74 lbf to a point on the bottom of the face of the shaft in the X direction in order to simulate an equivalent torque of 37 in-lbf.  Please see screenshot.  This resulted in a XY stress of 142 psi.  This result was much closer to the hand calculation of 188 psi, but is still off by 25%. What is the best method to apply a torque to a shaft in CSL?

HiI created a curve from equation.x = sin(t) + 2 * Sin(2*t)y = cos(t) - 2 * cos(2*t)z = -sin(3*t)I tried Scale Model but it doesn't work on a curve from an equation. Is it possible to scale the curve without modifying the equations? Thanks 

how to figure out whether the javaAPP is running before StartJLinkApplication？I want to execute the task registered in javaApp.I use  jlink to StartJLinkApplication ,but I dont know whether the app is running .If running will get error such asXToolkitInUseThen can not get the handle of JLinkApplication. Is there a way to get the handle app running? Can  invoke the task in runed jlink application  

Hello All, I have an issue in drawings where occasionally my drawing tree will completely disappear, and is replaced by a detail tree, which is blank, I try to activate and deactivate the window to no avail. The layer tree will now only show in the model tree lower window, where as it usually resides in the upper drawing tree window. If I restart CREO the problem goes away and the drawing tree is restored.  I am curious if there is a glitch in the software or I'm inadvertently activating some kind of shortcut? 

All,Today when selecting a feature/geometry in ModelCheck report the geometry is highlighted.is it possible to change the behavior to perform "Select" ( so the feature will be selected rather than highlighted ) ?Many thanks,  

When attempting to unbend or flatten the sheet metal, I encounter the error 'Feature failed to regenerate.' The part is quite intricate with numerous bends. Despite converting it to sheet metal and attempting both unbending and flattening, both efforts resulted in the 'Feature failed to regenerate' error. I am eager to have the part flattened, and I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue   

We are using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0 How can we get the `ProMdl` handle of an embedded part (the part itself, not of the part occurrence) using the Pro/Toolkit API? I know that we can get the `ProMdl` handle of the part occurrence in the assembly via the assembly `ProMdl` --> `ProSolidFeatVisit` --> filter for `PRO_FEAT_COMPONENT` --> `ProAsmcompMdlGet`.But we need the `ProMdl` handle of the actual part, not of the occurrence - in order to inspect the geometry before assembly-level features were applied. For normal (non-embedded) parts, we would use:ProMdl mdl;ProError err = ProMdlFiletypeLoad(path, PRO_MDLFILE_UNUSED, PRO_B_FALSE, &mdl);This works fine for normal paths like "C:\models\PRT0001.prt.1", but for an embedded component's virtual path like "C:\models\PRT0002<<ASM0001>>.prt", it returns `PRO_TK_INVALID_NAME`. In the Creo Parametric UI, one can right-click the embedded part and click "Open" to see it in its
