Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Goodmorning to everyone, I use Creo 8.0.9.0 and I'm wondering how to create an animation based on a MDO analisys that has the "real time duration". If I set the time.duration of 10 seconds, I expect this duration will be respected when I make the video exportation; all of this means the mechanism has the real velocity.  If the mechanism is simple,  more or less the duration/velocity is respected; if the animation is a bit complicated, the "post-production" video will be longher. Is there the possibility to impose the video exportation duration?

I have my background color set to black.  Within the background color setting I have enabled gradient which is set to an off-white color gradient in modelspace. This combination gives me a gradient background in model space and a black background in sketcher.  This is exactly as I want it. I would like my drawings to come up in an off-white color.  The drawing color currently follows the black background setting.Is there a way set a drawing background color independent of the model space background color and the sketcher background color?Thank you!

hello !when input red point  xyz and surface ,out uv,then put uv to ProSurfaceXyzdataEval,Why do two points have the same value?my code:ProError EvalClosestPoint(ProPoint3d xyz,ProPoint3d xyzPnt) {ProUvParam uv;ProError status;status=ProSurfaceParamEval(m_owner, m_surf, xyz, uv);status= ProSurfaceXyzdataEval(m_surf, uv, xyzPnt, NULL, NULL, NULL);return status;}thank you!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.6.0Tangent Lines are not visible when model display is set to wireframe or hidden line display style -When I view my models in wireframe or hidden, the tangent lines of a cylindrical feature are invisible.

We use shrinkwrap for welding, because merge does not work for features and a weld with the weld application is a feature in Creo. It works fine, however unlike merge you can not open base model from the model tree, instead you need to go to feature information, copy the number and open that number. Is it possible to make a mapkey to do that instead of manually do it all the time? Below is  mapkey, but how to get rid of the hardcoded filename?  mapkey foo ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.AssyTree` 1 `node2`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ RButtonArm `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.AssyTree` `node2`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ PopupOver `main_dlg_cur` `PM_PHTLeft.AssyTree` 1 `PHTLeft.AssyTree`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Open `main_dlg_cur` `PM_PHTLeft.AssyTree`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `PM_PHTLeft.AssyTree`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Trail `MiniToolbar` `MiniToolbar` `UIT_TRANSLUCENT` `NEED_TO_CLOSE`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdInfoFeature@PopupMenuTree` ;~ Command `ProCmdM

I’m trying to use toolkit to delete .drw files under working directory. There is a situation when the model mounted to the drawing is missing, I can’t manage to delete the drw file with promdlnameretrieve() and Promdldelete(). Does anyone know any other method to delete a file from disk in toolkit, many thanks.

Is there a way in Creo Simulate to use a surface to create shell elements?  This is not a midsurface shell compression.  I created a simple "L" solid part with a surface extrusion.  I thought the autoGEM control "hard surface" would achieve what I wanted.  But it doesn't.  Is there a different setting that will accomplish this?  I've attached photos of the part and the part meshed.    

I have always struggled with Creo when it comes to getting good millpaths.  No matter what I try, it always seems like Creo defaults to pushing the cutter directly into the middle of the part (material fully surrounding the cutter) instead of slowly milling its way into the part from the outside in.I have dealt with this issue for many years now, and decided it's time to make a post here asking for help.  As you can see in the video, it would be ideal to mill the outside first, allowing 2/3rds of the cutter in the material until it mills completely to the center.(view in My Videos)

Hello.I use CREO 10.0 parametric for the creation of large assmbly. (more than 800 parts and the 2D Drawing, Not simulation. only assembly and drawing. sometimes use AFX)I would like to know AMD graphic card compatibility with creo 10.0.Is compatibility good when using Radeon Pro W7600 or W6600? Or should I use Quadro?

I am running CREO 10.0 on a student license, and trying to create a .mfg model.  But when I enter new model name and template the model window does not switch to the manufacturing model window.  Does anyone know if this feature is not available with a student license, or am I doing something else wrong.  thanks.

Hi, I want to compile a table with automatic calculations. In  the figure attached, I want to plot in the cell the result of a quote divided by a constant number "2560". How can I do this?  Can I recall in the cell the result of a relation obtained dividing the quote with the constant number? If yes, how I could write the relation recalling the quote? Best regards, Michele Barile  

Proengineerstart returns ProError code -1 How to rectify it . ProEngineerstart has Two arguments among those one(proe_path) is executable that runs it and another is Prodev_text_path which i am unable to figure it out Can someone please explain what is that second argument is about and how to use it correctly.

Hi I am doing analysis on a relatively large structure, and I would like to build the the model for Simulate using beam idealisations rather than native models.  I know how to create an individual beam, but am looking guidance/tutorial on how to create an assembly, if possible using a mixture of idealised beams and 'physical' geometry.Thanks in advanceFrancis

My left side arrowhead disappeared after I added datum C to that true position tolerance. How do I bring that arrowhead back?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0I am trying to add notes in 3d space under the annotations tab. I have done this before (I do this almost everyday) but for some reason, now, when I use the middle mouse button to set the location of the note, it cancels the operation altogether. This function is still available in 2d space and works just fine.

Creo 9.0.4.0 & windchill 12.1We are looking to convert our models from imperial to metric.  We have legacy items dating back to at least Creo 2.  There are 3 main segments of the company.  @ of the 3 already use metric for modeling and drawing. One is still using imperial and would like to switch. In testing models/drawings made in Creo 9, it was discovered that if a dimension was manually added to a drawing (addxxx), the tolerances did not change when the Model Properties were converted.  Also, GD&T does not appear to change.  Part and drawing DTL files exist and are working fine, if the part was created and not converted. Aby ideas of how to convert they in bulk and not manually changing each dimension?  Changing one drawing at a time is acceptable, but trying to avoid the need to change dimensions one by one.

Hello friends. In the drawing, I need to specify a detail, transparent and in fine lines. Creo is able to make the detail transparent, but the line style is dashed. I open the drawing.Layout > Component Display > Style > Picked View > OK.In the menu manager, I select the PhantomTrnsp style. As a result, I get a transparent display of the assembly part, but with a dotted line.How to adjust or change the default PhantomTrnsp line style to thin rather than dashed?

I am trying to export a line body from creo parametric 10.0 to Ansys. But I only seem to be able to export the solid body. Is there any way I can just export a line body? I have tried deleting the solid bodies and just exporting the sketches but it didn't seem to work. Maybe there is a way to convert sketches to line bodies?

We're using Creo 8.0.6.0 at this time. I'm running into an issue using a relation-driven sub-assembly, but feel like it's close. The first stud & nut in the patterns aren't flexing properly, but the rest are and I'm unsure what the issue is. I've changed & moved relations around, added and removed flexible dimensions/variables up until this point, this is the closest I've gotten. Some background: we originally used a family table for all of our stud & nut assemblies but found a few issues using them - they often really slowed down our large assemblies, and sometimes ran into odd regeneration issues. I've taken a look at intelligent fasteners, but I don't think it has what is required. We're testing using a single sub-assembly that drives the part dimensions of the stud and nut. FLG_CALLOUT and GASKET are restricted, string parameters that are pre-flexed. Users can change them via a drop down menu. These two parameters will be changed when added to an assembly

I already know there are a lot of discussions about this topic but I think this indicates that using the correct scaling in Creo is too complex.According to this article it should work by adjusting some config.pro settings but for me there is also something unclear. The thing is that with "main scale" there is a suggestion that this is the scale that is shown on the left bottom side of the drawing window in Creo Parametric (also set in the drawing parameter "scale").But my current experience is that the scale that is used for the DXF/DWG has some sort of relation to the scale of the view that is first in the drawing view tree. The setting below on yes is what I want but the "...view named main_view..." brings in some confusing. What is the definition of "main_view"... dxf_out_scale_viewsyes, no*Specifies whether to scale drawing views when exporting to the DXF or DWG file format. This configuration option is available as the Scale drawing views when exporting t

Hello I'm trying to make the drawing model a new window of Creo now and use fast printing using macros.It works well if you run in a different environment (for example, an existing window rather than a new one), but when you create and run a new window using the ProObjectWindowMdlnameCreate() function, the ProMacroExecute(); function returns a PRO_TK_NOT_VALID errorI don't see the window at all, but I think it's because I'm trying to run the macro properly, is there a way to fix it?Sleep(); I tried a function to give delay, but there was a delay in the window as well as ProMacroExecute()I'd appreciate it if you could tell me how. If there's any other cause than this, please help.I am attaching the code I used below.Thank you.   status = ProObjectwindowMdlnameCreate(name, (ProType)PRO_MDL_DRAWING, &window_id); status = ProMdlDisplay(mdl); status = ProWindowCurrentSet(window_id); status = ProWindowActivate(window_id); wchar_t* mkMCRTopLevel1 = L"~ Command `ProCmdQuickP

Hi, I am using Creo parametric 4.0 with the AAX.I created a part using copy geometry references from a skeleton model, and noticed that when creating a drawing and adding a view, the view size seems to include the copy geometry feature.this would not really be a problem because it does not seem to affect the drawing size itself when exported. but it does not allow me to use something like the PTC ModelCHECK to find the OVERALL_SIZE of the part.is there a way to hide the copy geometry feature so that only the solid geometry is being shown in the drawing's view borders and such.
