Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi all,im new to Creo. I have the student version of Creo Parametric 9.0. I send a screenshot, where you can see my problem. The diameter of the shown screw is 0.5118mm. In the tutorial which im learning with there is a diameter of 13mm for a M14x1 Screw. Is there im doing wrong? If so how can i change that diameter. I hope you guys can help me out. Sorry for my bad english.

I want to create some ribs for an aerofoil. I have created the ribs using the offset coordinate system which produces a curve. I can't seem to extrude the curve, therefore I tried using the spline tool to sketch over the coordinates, however the line is slightly off compared to the curve which is an issue as the shape needs to be accurate. Any idea how I could produce the ribs thanks. Below is a coordinate system I used.Thanks   

I'm making a piston mechanism in Creo Mechanism where I'm supposed to measure the piston's acceleration when it's 45 degrees from the y-axis, but the result gives me a percentual difference of 20% from the correct answer (-47000mm/s^2) What could I be doing wrong? 

How to customize symbols and add the data table for the customized symbols in Creo schematic 9.0

HiI'm a relatively new Creo user. As the title says, is it possible to group a selection of sketch elements within a sketch? Like the "Block" function in AutoCAD/Inventor/Solidworks. (image of the function in Inventor attached) If not, is there a workaround? Should I instead create separate sketches on the same plane? Thanks in advance for any tips.

Creo 7 I am looking for an automated way to create a cellular array of ribs and have run into what seems to be a limitation with trajectory rib functionality. The first pic below illustrates an example of what I want to create but I am not able to use the projection of the patterned hex curves in the sketch for a trajectory rib without manually selecting each hex.   I am able to generate a pattern of cells that "should" be available for use when defining a sketch for trajectory ribs. So far, I am not able to select the cell array with a pick box or intent reference selection. Am I missing something with sketcher selection or in the projection tool within sketcher?   Is there a better way to approach this from a modeling standpoint if I want it to be more automated? Using a fill pattern, I can generate the array from a single sketched hexagon and a few feature relations. It would be nice to leverage that and generate the ribs based on this pattern.   I need a way to selec

May I know what is the function of "Update Layer" in this tab? it is grayed out in every layer.Thanks 

Using Creo 8.0.Is there a way to change the color of the hole placement handles ? ( the symbols you drag to define XY placement of a hole on a selected surface). By default it is red, but is hard to see when superimposed on the selected placement surface that also turns red upon selection.See attached screenshot in where I refer to the symbol at the end of the striped red line.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140In drawing sheet while creating linear dimension with reference of edge and bend axis dimension created but getting PRO_TK_INVALID_MATRIX error while using this api "PROANNOTATIONSHOW".when the drawing is active that time there is no error but when we open the drawing programmatically then getting errorHere are the errors that I facedPROANNOTATIONSHOW - PRO_TK_INVALID_MATRIX

I'm currently facing a peculiar issue in Creo and could use some advice. I've created a part with a specific feature - a hole cut out. The problem arises when I attempt to mirror this feature. While the mirroring process itself seems successful, the original hole cut out disappears.Has anyone encountered this issue before? What could be causing the original feature to vanish upon mirroring, and more importantly, how can it be resolved? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help!

Why does it take time to export PDF on Creo, i would like to know if there are other ways around this 

Check out this video on Creo Additive MFG from PTC Application EngineersPresenters: Lino Tozzi (Solution Consultant, Fellow) and Ryan Butcher (Solution Consultant, Fellow)Original Date Presented: November 14, 2023To dive deeper into the subject, check out Creo Additive MFG.  

I have opened up a support ticket and PTC is still investigating but it doesn't appear that there is a way to change the annotation plane for annotations within a UDF.   Anyone doing MBD with UDFs? Are you aware of a work around for having the annotations placed on a different annotation plane? I know once it is placed you can right click on them and choose move to plane but I am hoping there is a better response.

I use a copy geometry to get planes from my skeleton. Now I have a lot of planes in my model. It makes it hard to find the plane that I need on the screen. I want to use layers to only show the planes that I want to use as references for my desired feature. But, when I try to select a plane from a copy geometry for creation of a layer, it selects all the planes from that copy geometry. Is there maybe a way to use just a selected few of the planes from a copy geometry in a layer? Thanks a lot for ideas and answers!

Hi, I am importing an aerofoil into Creo 8, I am following steps done by You-tube videos, however the aerofoil comes out like below.I am using the following aerofoil: Any tips would be appreciated thanks   

Hi, I am running a simulation with a measured load at one side, and applied load at another. For all intents and purposes, it is a non-symmetric see-saw, where I have a target load at one end, with a load (in this instance, a pressure value) applied to a pad at the other end. I will have 9 individual tests to complete (each test is at a different angle), so I was hoping to run a feasibility study to save myself the trial and error involved in guessing the input load multiple times until I get a close result. I have had a bit of a play around and created a parameter, which I then drove a load value with.  It seems to accept the input parameter (I can drive a static analysis from it) but when it comes to doing a study, I get the '!' of doom with no indication of the cause of failure. Screenshots of my parameter and study are below. Is what i am trying actually possible and if so, is there something obvious I am missing?  

Hi I am new here and was wondering if you could help?We have Creo 8.0 on a server with a 1G network.we have now upgraded to a 2.5G network.We are moving the drawing files to a QNAP  TS-h973AX  NAS with 32GB ram  and a 2.5G network connectionIt then connects to a QNAP 2.5G network unmanaged switchWhich then connects to 3 X 2.5G network computers with 12th gen i7 processors with 32GB RAM each using NVMe drives..Transfering files through file explorer gives us the 2.5G speed but when we try to open Creo 8.0 files the network only transfers files at 7Mbps to 13Mbps speed?Do we need to change anything  in the config file settings in Creo to speed up the opening of the drawings in Creo?note: we upgraded from pro e wildfire to Creo parametric 8.0Could it be that a software limitation has come across from the old wildfire program and is limiting the speed of Creo loading files? any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,I recently faced this issue, that whenever i import a step file, it mostly imported as surface with geometry error. But same .step imported with solidworks, showing no error and imported as a clean 3D model. If I save that model into whatever files .iges, .stp and re import with creo, still facing same geometry errors like this.In Solidworks, i save the file as creo .prt file. That model is solid in creo. How and why the file works well with solidworks not with creo 7.0 ? This is not only for a single .step file but almost all of my .step models i have so many errors. 

 I have problem when running my mechanism analysis it says "The mechanism could not be assembled because some mechanism constraints weren't met". Is it because the joint/assembly isn't properly constraint or what ? Whats the easiest way to know if my parts are connected incorrectly? 

When I tried to save my playbacks for my mechanism in .pbk file, an information appears. Is it a licence issue? Thanks    

I have a drawing with multiple dashed line fonts. In Creo Parametric, the spacing of these line fonts changes dynamically as I zoom in and out so that they are always readable. When I publish the file to a DXF or DWG format, Creo appears to be assigning a linetype scale factor that I cannot control. When I import the resultant DWG file to AutoCAD, I can use the LTSCALE command to enter a new scale factor. I see when I do this that Creo has assigned the factor 2.585 for this particular drawing. Other drawings have their own scale factors applied, I assume based on the size of the drawing sheet (larger sheets get larger scale factors, resulting in wider spacing). Is there any way within Creo to pre-assign the scale so that we do not have to post-process it in AutoCAD?

Hi!I have a structure with profiled.I used "Prismatic Elements" to do a mesh but obtaing some warningThere are problems with "Detecting thi feature" that is very slowly. is it possible to fast it? Where is the problme Thank you      

Hi there, in Creo's bin folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 10.0.2.0\Parametric\bin ) there is a "parametric.bat", which executes @echo off "C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 10.0.2.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe" "C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 10.0.2.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.psf" %*  Is it possible to place that batch file and the corresponding "parametric.psf" anywhere else? e.g.C:\temp\%username%\custom-parametric.bat with @echo off "C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 10.0.2.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe" "C:\temp\%username%\custom-parametric.psf" %*  I tried it, but it did not worked so far.

We recently completed an upgrade from Creo 6 to Creo 10. One of the items I failed to test/verify was our custom symbols. After all, decades of using .sym files for symbols and all that. Now I can't see any of the .sym files.Drag and drop doesn't work (not a recognized file type). I can open the 'Define Symbols' menu through the annotate tab and I can edit symbols through what looks like the old interface. Saving them just iterates the .sym file and still doesn't allow me to use them on drawings. I've been searching, and will continue to search, for instructions on what to do. I'm just sure PTC would have had the foresight to provide with this change. /s What am I missing? Anyone have a quick link or easy fix for my predicament? Was it some config I scrubbed out during the upgrade?

I am tring to unbend with swept blend, does anyone know where is the problem?
