Creo+ and Creo Parametric

This is an annoying fringe issue. But I have tables with notes (notes have two lines of string values) and sometimes when I update a string value the note doesn't update in the BOM automatically. Nor does it update when I update tables. It seems to only update when I go to modelling and make sure it's regenerated and go to annotations click on the note and look at the text in text editor and then update tables.  Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Maybe next time it happens I'll check whether it prints the correct info and creo is just showing the old info.

I have an old version of Wildfire 5 still running on a very old laptop. I would like to install the software on my new laptop as the oridgal laptop is on its last legs. But because I am no longer on maintenance this appears to be impossible. Login to my account then go to support and I am hit the same stone wall, you are not on maintenance. You cannot proceed bla bla bla. Is there a solution? Please help.

Draftsmen have two Screen, how to proceed to display Creo in only one window ? (a extended mode) Thanks for your help Best regards

Dear Team,We operate in an environment where several industries use Creo Parametric for the creation and editing of appearances applied to parts and wires. We are currently using Creo Parametric version 12.0.2.0.We would like to suggest an improvement related to the organization of custom appearances. Currently, all created appearances are grouped under the “My Appearance” tab, which mixes appearances intended for wires, solid models, and sheet metal. This limitation directly affects organization and workflow efficiency.Our suggestion is to allow the creation of new custom tabs or categories within the Appearance Manager, enabling users to separate appearances by application type (wires, solids, sheet metal, among others).This functionality would significantly improve ease of use when creating and editing appearances, as well as provide better color organization. As a direct result, it would also help reduce design time, leading to increased productivity and cost savings for companies.

Pro/Toolkit link error: “unresolved external symbol ProDimensionBaselineDirectionGet” — which library to link, and how to map APIs to libs?I’m building a Creo Parametric Pro/Toolkit application and I’m hitting a linker error when calling ProDimensionBaselineDirectionGet().Error : unresolved external symbol ProDimensionBaselineDirectionGet referenced in DIMVisitAction(...) — LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals.Already added libraries : protoolkit_NU.lib, pt_asynchronous.lib, ucore.lib, udata.lib, kernel32.lib, user32.lib, wsock32.lib, advapi32.lib, mpr.lib, winspool.lib, netapi32.lib, psapi.lib, gdi32.lib, shell32.lib, comdlg32.lib, ole32.lib, ws2_32.lib.Questions:Which specific Toolkit library contains ProDimensionBaselineDirectionGet()?What’s the recommended way to determine the required library for any given Pro/Toolkit API (e.g., doc index, API Wizard mapping, or dumpbin on .lib files)?Thanks in advance for your support!!

Currently using Creo 11.  I've found some posts, but no solutions.  Is there a way to automatically show external cosmetic threads in their typical format such as 1/4"-20 instead of 0.250-20?  There was a post from years ago about editing the .hol table, but this method doesn't work as somewhere along the line PTC changed the format of the hole table.  Now in the table, there is only "BASIC_DIA".  If you edit the table to say 1/4 or "1/4", a value of 0 shows up in the hole note.

Hi, i hope to be in the right place for my question.I'm playing with Creo Live and i'm doing some CFD analisys on a mecnanical structure, i've manged to have the simulation running (it's similar to the wind tunnel example file).I was trying to get the total forces on a body or a set of surfaces but i have zero cluse on how to setup a measurent.Any help is wellcome.

Hi all,I'm working in Creo Parametric Mechanism to model a pinion and crown gear assembly with axial/radial offset between their axes. This is not a standard intersecting-bevel gear setup — the pinion and crown gear must mesh with a deliberate offset between their axes.However, when I attempt to apply the built-in Bevel Gear Connection, Creo throws: "The references for bevel gear connection are not coplanar”.How can I simulate bevel gear kinematics when the pinion and crown gears are offset (i.e., non-coplanar axes)? 

I need to retrieve the X, Y, Z, and C offsets of all components in an assembly relative to the main part’s coordinate system. Ideally, I’d like to export these values into an external file (CSV or TXT).Is there a built-in method or mapkey/API/Toolkit solution to automate this?

Hello,Would it be possible to request an enhancement to ModelCheck?Specifically, I would like ModelCheck to be able to verify the Bend Allowance settings. For example, I would like to check that for sheetmetal parts, the “Bend allowance driven by” option is correctly set to be driven by the material.Even further, I would like to validate that the Sheetmetal Preferences are consistent with the smtdsnsetup.smd configuration file.Thank you in advance if this request could be considered.Adrien Blazy

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.2.0Hi, our company recently installed Creo 12.4. It is now in the standar configuration (inch, pound, standard ambient, exc... ). We want to transfer the personalized configuration from the version used till today (Creo 9) to the new installed version. How can we achieve this?PS. We have also a Creo Simulation pack.

Hi AllI have a surface in a copy-geom which references many features in my model.I now want to create a surface feature and remove the copy_geom so that it is no longer dependent  on my skeleton model.Is there a way to reroute all the references in one go?Creo Software version 10.0.8.0

Hello, Looking for an explanation of some strange results I am getting in Creo simulate.  I am wondering if I have the model setup incorrectly.  The model is not that complicated.  its a bolted assembly with some external masses (sensors) that are associated to the bracket via mass elements and weighted links.   I am trying to understand displacement of the mass elements when they are excited at resonance.  The oddity I am seeing is the massive displacement at frequency 0 (clearly not a real result).   Any help or thoughts on this matter would be great!  See the details i have posted below.     

Hi All, I'm resurrecting an old thread as I am curious if PTC have resolved this modelleing limitation in later releases. I did try to message the moderator to reactivate the old thread but was informed it is best to start a new one:  Re: How to model a helical sweep cut that matches ... - PTC Community Does anyone know if this is now possible in later relases? I am currently using 7 but no updates here.  FYI my part does not have a standard helical pitch, I have datum curves generated by co ordinates, so it would not be possible to use the volume helical sweep which I beleive was a new feature added to V 7 to tackle this issue for set pitches. 

Hello all, Does anyone have an example of how to use G93 in programming 4 axis contouring work with Creo Manufacturing?  We have a machine with this capability and I'd like to try it. So far I have been able to get the post to put G93 in the right places, but it puts a F0. for feedrate. Even if it did work, I am not sure how this really works.  G93 as I understand it interprets feed commands as inverse time.  So if my feedrate in IPM is 100, but G93 is active, the move will occur in 1/100 seconds?  How can that be right?  A short move takes longer than 100IPM would linearly and a long move takes the same amount of time so it moves much faster than 100IPM? Maybe I am misunderstanding how that works, but that is how I read it. Thank you for any help!Matt

Hello All,  I am attempting to download the free trial of Creo for an interview. After filling out the online form I received a thank you message but nothing else.  What am I missing?  Thanks 

HI Expert,I have below condition and would like to know how the Creo licenses will be utilized. I have a single Windows workstation with Creo (WC 12) installed, and the machine has two local user accounts (User 1 and User 2).I would like to understand how Creo licensing works when multiple users share the same machine:If User 1 logs in and starts Creo, but does not close Creo before logging out or switching users, and then User 2 logs in and starts Creo as well — how many licenses are consumed?Is this counted as one license (because it is the same machine), or two licenses (because there are two user sessions)?If User 1 does close Creo before logging out, will User 2 be able to start Creo normally under their own login and use the same license?In general, what is the correct way for multiple users to share a single workstation and use Creo with the most efficient (optimal) license usage?Are there any guidelines or best practices for concurrent users on the same machine?Any officia

Hello everybody!I'm using Creo 7 to simulate a mechanism that uses a piston (slider constraint with lower and upper limit, the green part) to partially rotate a cranck mechanism . The problem is that the rotating part wants to pull the piston beyond its limits and then simulation crashes. Actually when the piston is fully extended it acts as a rigid body, What I'd like to do is:- Extend the piston- Start rotating the levers- Stop rotating- Retract the pistonAny suggestion? I thought to replace the piston with a single part (a rod) but as simulation is not "correct" Any suggestion?Best regardsStefano

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0I want to know the proper way to upload the new version of the license as it look different from the previous license.

Hello everyone, i am struggling with an issues and need some help. I created new line styles, I create them from "manage line style" and click on "new". I can't use them only in that specific drawing and i want to be able to use in any another drawings. How i can do that? I was looking to find the file where every default style is (geometry, hidden ecc), where the "line stye gallery" takes from but i am not have been able to find it. I found this Adding Custom Line Sytles to be used in Detailing - PTC Community and this Article - CS62031 - Is it possible to store *.lsl Line Font files in a specific directory in Creo Parametric The issues is that i can't find any .lsl file to copy from and know what to write to create this file.Aboute the template method mentioned in those links, it is possible to define a drawing template with line in it? Maybe i should fine the correct enviroment to create line add them to the options?  Thank you for r

Hello,we are using Creo 12.4.0.0. Scince this version we have a problem that the BUW_NAME from profiles (Aluminium) will translated from the German Profil to Profile.How can we prevent/correct this?Thanks for your help.RegardsUte

Hi,I have a question on working with imported features.The model I have contains surfaces / quilts which have been imported.I need to edit the model, for which i need to get into import doctor environment to make the changes.so, 1. I would like to have the quilts highlighted in the model tree as i pick it in the graphic window, currently this doesn't happen. is there a config to change this behavior?2. Is there an easy way to perform surface operations to get rid of multiple unwanted quilts (like using Revolve or extrude cuts). Currently, I could only identify the below option, but this gets rid of only one quilt at a time.Thanks.
