Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi,Having trouble adding an annotation note to a family table where the text assigned to the family table instance controls what's shown in the note for each instance, The instances are only displaying the note for the generic and when I modify the family table values they don't display in the model.I want to have the general notes driven from the family table instances and the text in the image below be the values that are shown on the drawings.What's the proper way to add annotation unattached notes to a family table and have the ability to change the text displayed in the note based on what's assigned to the instance value?

Hello,Recently, I wanted to use otk replace my program, but I have some trouble. In the user's guide I know wfcCollection::GetSurfCollection, but I don't know how to use it.Looking forward to your answer.

Does anyone have an old PDF copy of the Relational Editor - Help Topic Collection from the Pro/E and/or Wildfire days? I am able to find old copies of these for things like "Pro/Program", Pro/NC, or "Detail Drawings" but curious if anyone has one on the relational editor they can share?    

I am creating a drawing for a part in Creo Parametric 7.0.2.0 and have a 2D family table similar to that below, where A, B, and C are parameters: Part NumberABC10.5000.1750.06020.2500.2000.060 I the part in question has varying tolerances for each dimension and part number, so I have to define them by hand. The column that I want to show is the limits value for the given dimension (with dual dimensions), however I want to hide or delete the column showing the nominal value.  Real data: So essentially hide A, A_MAX_IN, A_MIN_IN, but show A_TOL.How can I go about this for a 2D family table?

Hi,I want to change the colour of my parts. We do sheet metal, so all of my parts (except a few) are sheet metal. For whatever reason, I no longer have the ability to change the overall colour of a part.  (Except for the ‘pick each & every surface’ method currently) I used to be able to open the render tab, and select a colour, then click the [upper most] part [main feature] in the model tree, and it would change the whole part color & each subsequent feature added to eh part.. it no longer does that. It’s stuck on whatever the default color was. New sheet metal parts won't change.  But older "parts" (not sheet metal) will change per the older method.. In the 'edit model appearance' tab, it shows the proper colour, as well as the older / original colour.  yet it only shows the part in the older "default" colour, despite this new colour being applied.. Now, this also seem to apply to assemblies.  The assembly comes in as one solid colour.&

Windchill Version: 12.0.2.7Creo Parametric Version: 9.0.2.0 I am trying to map a Creo Attribute to Windchill's CAD Document Uses Link. I've followed these steps:Create Reusable Attribute  I've added the attribute to the CAD Document Uses Link In Creo I created an assembly with a part. I added the TEILENUMMER attribute to the part and made sure to designate the variable to Windchill.  I checked in the Assembly and the Part.After these steps I exptected to see the the defined value (0000010028) in the Structure tab on the assembly on the TEILENUMMER attribute. However, it is empty.What did I do wrong / missed?

Doing some testing on Creo 8.0.0.0.  Successfully added the crosshatch definition to a material file so that works as I expect. Looking for a way to always set 'use material hatch' option when I edit the hatch in the part cross section.   This article seems to indicate after Creo 7 there is a new way but I'm not finding it.  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS148466

I would like to use the rpt.qty value from a parent in the nested region relations.  Here's what I wish I could do.nested_qty = rpt_qty:ID_of_parent_region Ultimately I need to to be a multiplier.  

Hi all, is it possible to default a round/chamfer to always go into a single set without needing to hold control? i've tried looking around but no luck so far.not super critical for my workflow but i would prefer to manually select if i want to make a new set.  

 I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.2.0What is the best way to set up a diamond screw for mechansim design? The principle is a helix groove in the shaft and a "knife" or tap in a follower to drive the follower over the distance of the groove. I tried using cam follower over a curve in the helix, but it will only take a partial of the length of the screw.Anyone tried something similar or have any ideas?

Using Creo 8.0.5.0. So I have an assembly that contains 2 copies of a part. When I pull in dimension annotations to add to view states, since they are being pulled in from the part file, both copies of the part display the same annotations in exactly the same spot relative to the part. My question is can I "unlink" or separate these annotations in the assembly to be able to locate them in different places and view states relative to the part they define to clean up my view states better? 

Hello! Currently I have a model that contains a weighted link that connects 5 different fasteners holes to a dependent node. The dependent node has a 10 kip load applied to it. My goal is to find the force applied to each individual fastener position in the WCS. When I place a force measure on these independent surfaces I get the following warning:  "Resultant measure XX may not be evaluated correctly because there are multi-point constraints (MPCs) near the resultant measure. MPCs may occur in models with mixed or incompatible meshes, links, fasteners or user coordinate system (UCS)"  Is there a different method to gather the force exerted on the independent surfaces? This process is very simple in other FEA programs so it seems strange that it would be more complex than a standard measure.  Thank you in advance. CREO Version: 7.0.9.0

Hello,I have a problem with the firewall of my Windows server 2022 blocking the FLEXnet Admin License Server program, when I go to Private network settings and set it to turn off the machines access normally, I have already released the path C:\Program Files\PTC\FLEXnet Admin License Server\lmadmin.exe but it still gives an error that there is no license something else needs to be done?

I'm using the parameter "&harn.run.len" to bring the length of my wires into my wiring table. The network length used on my model is also displayed (284.004). I know it is the network because I had one of the parameters entered incorrectly and in the "Wire Name" column it said "Network".How can I exclude the network?Finally how can I get the pin name to appear? I'm using "&harn.run.cond.from.pin.name", "&harn.run.cond.to.pin.name"All in Creo Parametric 8.0.9.0. 

Hi, Creo 9, Windchill 12.1.2 I have a need to create (lots of) simplified files (to protect IP) in order to send them out. There doesn't seem to be a good solution which fulfills everybodies' needs but here's what I would love to achieve. Save as -> Shrinkwrap doesn't have an option to choose a "subset" like the feature-creating version of the tool does. This sucks because once I create a shrinkwrap file I don't seem to be able to edit it in any way(add/remove parts and it won't update if a part is updated). So 1) Am I missing something or saved shrinkwraps can't be updated because they lack the parent-child relationship to the original assembly? Based on the above - in order to have control over what's included in the shrinkwrap I create a feature shrinkwrap inside the assembly. Then I create a save-as shrinkwrap of the feature-based shrinkwrap. This kind of sucks cause the feature stays in the assembly...and the part-type shrinkwrap doesn't update. Bu

I started having this issue today (my first time attempting to install creo). Since the first try I have uninstalled and deleted all license files then reinstalled Creo (using the same zip file I downloaded the first time).  Still getting the same issue.  The license I received yesterday results in an error message, the message is long but this seems to be the critical data:  License Request Failed for Feature... (-21) I am using the educational license fixed node (just followed the directions that I received when receiving the license). Any suggestions on how to get it up and running? Thank you 

When I created 3D dimensional marking in the Annotate module, the tolerance text height was the same as dimension text height. Usually, the tolerance text height factor should be 0.6, which means the tolerance text height is 0.6 times of dimension text height. I have set tolerance_standard from "ansi" to "iso", but the tolerance text height was still unchanged. Is there anyone knows how to change the tolerance text height in 3D annotate? Your help will be much appreciated!  

(Creo Parametric 10.0 ) Before I do the analysis definition, I already add a servo motor. However, I can only use the motor when the type of the analysis is position. And the right three buttons can't be used.

Is there anyway to enable the clock parameter in Creo 10?

I am using Creo Simulate Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0Simulate static analysis taking time more than expected.It is stuck in preprossing following activity taking huge time:-"Pre-processing boundary (70% complete after   2.1 min)"

Hi,as specified in Article - CS7762it is not supported to  add an older version using As Stored dependent.did any of you managed to achieve the goal using other techniques ? what about using it in conjunction with  AddToWorkspaceAction ?  

Thought I'd give back a bit to the community, one secret weapon that I've been leveraging for quick and dirty automation is to access the asynchronous VB API through PowerShell. VB API is a .NET construct, so it's accessible through VB, C#, as well as PowerShell. API wise, it is almost 1:1 with the base J-Link package, so you are not missing out on much. You will not have Toolkit functionality, but you can in theory create Toolkit DLLs to load in via config.pro that you can invoke via the VB API.   The convenience of using PowerShell is that it is deployed by default on all machines Win7+. You may run into some compatibility issues with Powershell V2, since that was a rather primitive version compared to what we have today. Win10 deploys with Powershell 5 and above. It is also a shell environment. You do not need to compile anything or open any special program, you can literally link up in a new shell window and immediately start piloting Creo. So far I can pretty much create a qu

Hello all, I am a fairly new user to Creo, so bare with me with some of the terminology, but I am having an issue with exporting a 2D sketch in Creo. When I export the file (shown in the pictures attached) and import it back into Creo the file shows up blank with only a picture of the DXF file that I was trying to make. I have tried importing the DXF on SolidWorks as well and this also results to the same issue. Does anyone know why this happening? Thank you in advance!

The system colors, for example system_geometry_color, can be set via specifications in a file. For example, I use "syscol.scl". To the best of my knowledge, there is no documentation of what parameter names are available for these settings. Equally important, it is not clear what effect setting any of these parameters will have. I'm wondering if anyone has any documentation of the following: (1) Parameter names (2) Screen elements affected by a given parameter (3) Syntax for the settings file, i.e. what alias_sec_dim_strong_color_to means, the color value ranges, etc.   I had asked this same thing as an Idea for it to be added to the Help documentation. It was pretty much ignored. I naively thought that such things would be documented and available, but that does not appear to be so.
