Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi all,We have a BOM table set up that works fine (no duplicates) but when adding a column for the weight it brings back in the duplicates.I guess this is to show the weight of each part and each individual duplicate part.Is there a way to not show the duplicates and the weight column to show a weight for each part?eg. if there is two of Item 5, the Qty column would show '2' but the Weight column would show the weight for one of Item 5?Creo 8 Hope that makes sense.Thanks

Hello, I am designing a mechanism in which I want my Lead screw to rotate on its axis only.  fixed to one housing so that the lead screw does not transverse, I want the nut to translate but avoid rotation  I already tried the cylinder connection but it is not working for my problem  And if anybody suggests providing a generic gear connection please also describe the reason behind it I am not able to understand the reason behind providing a gear connection  I am using Creo Parametric 

Hi,I use CREO Parametric 9.0 Student Eddition as a Hobbyist. When creating an STL file (Save as STL) for a 3D printer, I observe that the number of facets on circular srfaces is relatively low. My question is : How to increase the number of factets, in order to get more precise circular surfaces ? I foud this article in the CREO support, but it seems to be valid for another software : https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/ced_modeling/r20.5.0.0/fr/index.html#page/ced_modeling/OSDM_Main/Parts_23.html Is there a limitation of the Student Edition ? Thanks for your help 

Reference topic link - https://community.ptc.com/t5/Analysis/Mechanism-connection-constraints/m-p/1405#M1430 Can you please give me reason why are you using the generic gear connection I am not getting proper reason behind it    I would highly appreciate your help   

Dear all, I Need solution to Remove "Part missing in directory" message by using creo toolkit program as shown in below image within creo toolkit features. and when program ends, I need to create log file for missing parts in directory.Case 1-  if i have many parts, drawings in directory but for few drawings ,its linked parts are is not available in same directory then if i try to run my creo toolkit feature, it is showing "Part missing in directory" message multiple time for each and every missing parts as shown in below image. so it is creating interruption in run time.(example -if i have 10 parts missing for 10 drawings in directory then message will be populated for 10 times)Query - can we remove this message by using creo toolkit program as shown in below image while run time and when program ends can we make its log file for missing parts ?Condition - 1) Part name and drawing name may be same or different.2) one drawing can have multiple parts linked.Image -&n

Hi teamI am attempting to execute a Creo operation asynchronously. However, when I use the ProEngineerStart API call, it returns a PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT error. If anyone possesses knowledge of a viable solution, Kindly, please let me know. regardsAravind   

If someone were to not have access to the WindChill batch tool, but still wanted to be able to manage and easily print out several single part drawings to a project, what other ways are there? I recently ran across a post where someone would create a top level drawing and was "overlaying" each individual part drawing inside that (1) file. However if that process can not be automated or batched, then its really no faster than opening each individual drawing and printing it. Just want to make sure I'm no missing anything. Thank You!

I have this Generic part (Fig. 1.1) for my Family Table. As you can see in Fig. 1.2, they're obviously in the Model Tree. Their columns show in the Family Table (Fig. 1.3) and when I verify (Fig. 1.4) they're successful. But even if everything shows that the features should show in the instances, they're still not showing (Fig. 1.5). It doesn't look like they were suppressed, more like the were never added to the model. I've tried to update the models in my workspace, and also upload them with tiny changes but nothing happens. I even tried not adding the features to the Family Table to see if they showed all of the patterns but no. Has anybody experienced this before? Am I missing something? Can this be solved by resetting Creo?I'm using Creo 7.0.10.0 but we're migrating to Creo 9 in a couple of days, could that be the issue? Thanks in advance! Fig. 1.1 - Generic Plate Fig. 1.2 - Model Tree showing the patterns Fig. 1.3 - Family Table showing the Colu

I have a user that is asking to have centerlines automatically break when passing through an item in the drawing.  Is there a config option that will make this happen? I know you can manually break them in a few different ways but in this instance, we use 'Show and Erase' to create the centerlines.

Hi, I need to do a simulation with Creo Simulate 10.0.3 as indicated in the subject.I used shell finite elements ans it is not a problem to set constraints and the internal idrostatic pressure, the problem is another The tank is covered by sand, 30 cm per side as indicated in the attached files. The sand causes a force on the tank, and limits the lateral expansion. How can I interpret the sand? With a Force/Pressure on the tank and a laterally Pressure/Constraint/Springs to limit the lateral expansion? In order to represent the sand I also thought to create an external component/body but I think it is too complicated. I'll need sand structural property and I'll have to decide if use bounded interface or contact interface between tank and sand.Any  suggestion? Thanks

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.5.0When using IFX I am unable to create an instance for PEM fasteners. I set the folder to create the part files and then select any of the OOTB dat files provided for PEM fasteners and CREO returns a PRO TK error. I have had no problems when creating any other type of nut, washer or screw, it is only PEM fasteners that do not work.I have noticed that there are no nut_80.prt or nut_99.prt files in my folder C:\PTC\Creo 8.0.5.0\Common Files\ifx\parts\ifx_fastener_templates\nuts (if that is relevant)Here are the errors that I facedError message reads "An unknown error occurred (PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND)

Initially posted in this topic   Sorry for digging up a really old discussion, but this issue is still relevant.Windchill Help still claims that opening a .pha file downloaded from Windchill with standalone browser should open the model in an existing session if one is open, but it's not working like that for me: I tried with associating the .pha to parametric.exe and to parametric.bat, but both just start a new Creo session. My Creo version is 7.0.10.0.Has anyone ever got this working properly?  

How can I show the thread (of a threaded hole) when the axes are hidden?

Thank you! 

I am trying to model a fish scale array pattern as a film like structure. but unfortunately i cant able to create the overlapping surfaces. I figured that I need  some degree of tilt between the individual scales and the base.Attached pictures of what iam getting and what I need.  Help me to get the desired output.

Using Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0 - Spin Center is turned off so that it will spin about the mouse location.  Datum Plane shading is turned off (though it doesn't matter if it is off or on), and are not visible in my model.  When I hold the middle mouse button down, many times it won't activate the spin, and if I'm in a feature, often will close me out of the feature instead of activating spin.  When it does activate the spin, as I'm spinning, the spin location will jump to other geometry as the mouse cursor goes over it, instead of staying on the entity or location where I originally started the spin.  This only has happened since upgrading to 8.  I never had this issue with Creo 5.  Not sure if this is a graphic card issue, or an issue with Creo.  Running on a Lenovo P51 with an Nvidia Quadro M2200 card.  Incidentally, when I have Spin Center turned on, I still can't get the spin functionality to initiate many times when I hold the middle mouse but

When in Creo after selecting "open", the "File Open" dialogue box appears. This presents me a "list" of Creo files in my workspace. Most of the columns displayed in this dialogue box mean nothing to me. Is there a way to create custom columns that read desirable parameters that would help me better find files during my "open" process? Thank you!

Good Morning, I had initially posted a reply to a thread looking just to measure the MOI, I figured it would be better to start a thread of my own. 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 need to find this file inside creo , I've searched and all the PTC folder , but it doesn't find anything pmech_conn.TXT

Hi All,I am getting Fatal error encountered.Can anyone help me on this error. i want to disable this error message for parament . i don't want to show this message even error occurs. Sharing snap and  Trace file.  

Hello, I have an .NWF file that I have generated using a script, and it ignores all thickness/gauge/csa values that I put into it, and creo consistently lists all thicknesses for each wire as being 14.8221mm. for example, here's an excerpt of one of my new wires- NEW WIRE_SPOOL BLACKPARAMETER TYPE WIREPARAMETER COLOR BLACKPARAMETER WIRE_CSA 0.5PARAMETER THICKNESS 0.8PARAMETER WIRE_GAUGE 16etc.  I have MANY wires, all with different gauges, and they all show up as spools with these dimensions: I can't edit them either, and no changes in the .nwf change anything in creo. I'd greatly appreciate help here. thanks!

Looking for suggestions on how to model a sheet metal part that is a long and narrow L shaped bracket. A portion of one of the legs is formed into a shallow vee shape. The remaining portion of the leg is left out of the die and is flat. I’ve modeled the leg using a swept blend but can’t get it to unbend using deformations. Have attempted many other methods to model the part unsuccessfully. The transition area from vee to flat is noncritical. Thoughts? 

Why am I not able to place end plates at the end of beams against a round wall? As you can see in the second photo it works on a flat wall. Thank you.   

HiRecently I have been learning Creo Toolkit.I have some doubts about using ProToolkit and Creo Object Toolkit The development environment is VS2019 and Creo 9. As a beginner, I started learning the Protoolkit and later learned the Object Toolkit. I referred to the example code of PTC and found that there are exceptions when using interfaces that both exist. The Pro toolkit interface works properly, but the object toolkit interface may cause program crashes. Debug information output "Invalid parameter passed to C runtime function."For example, when selecting model items interactively, the ProSelect() function in the toolkit interface works properly, while the pfcSession:: Select() function crashes when the cancel button is clicked; When displaying messages, the Toolkit interface ProMessage Display() function can function properly, while the object Toolkit interface pfcSession:: UIDisplayMessage will crash. Similar situations occur in interface functions such as pfcSession:: U
