Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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?

Hello,I would like to add thickness to an imported surface in creo to make it a solid model. I couldn't do it with the Thicken command because the shape is too complex and some surfaces can't be offset so I built the inner surface with less offset. I managed to merge a model with an internal thickness of closed surfaces, but the solidify command won't do it because the surface connection is not watertight. In the surface connection analysis, it shows red in a few places and the maximum gap is 0,035 mm. My question is, how can I set it to ignore these small errors and do the solidify command?

HiI have creo 7 installed in my system. In it i am missing a set of icons in the quick access toolbar which is regularly needed for me. All my colleagues have those. i tried copying there confi.pro and other folders but nothing seemed to work. These are the icons that i need. Can anyone help?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.11.0Received a large step model from a customer and imported into Creo as a part and then assembled it into a Creo assembly. We need to create a mirror of the original part. It creates fine but is disappearing after creating it. The mirrored part will highlight when selected in the model tree but disappears again when unselected.

Hello, I am looking to create a parametric assembly using an assembly template which includes all the parts of the generic model of the assembly. Some parts will have to have relationships between them. The model must be configurable when creating a new assembly using the generic model template. However, when creating the assembly with the generic model, an error occurs and Créo tells me that this is not possible because the template includes components. Is there a solution without going to a family table?   Thanks in advance.   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate   Bonjour, je cherche à créer un assemblage paramétrique en utilisant un gabarit d'assemblage qui comporte toutes les pièce du modèle générique de l'assemblage.

I just upgraded to 10.0.2.0 yesterday, and I'm getting an Unhandled Exception error.  I don't know what the issue is.  It's probably clear to someone else from the error message, but non of this means anything to me. 

My saved orientations are not automatically fitted in in  the window. Always the Coordinate System is the center of the view and when model size chenge it is a problem that the model is not completly fit in.The zoom I do no know how to change this bahavior.

Hi all,I'm trying to make a custom note for the MBD annotation of a tapped hole pattern.The note contains the following text4X &SCREW_SIZE:FID_374 &THREAD_SERIES:FID_374 - &CLASS:FID_374 &Thread_Length:FID_374where FID_374 is indicating the hole with feature id 374.It is my intention to replace 4X with something like &HOLE_INSTANCE_COUNT.My problem is that the parameters THREAD_LENGTH and THREAD_DEPTH no longer seem to be available in PTC Creo 9.0.3.0 (although they are mentioned in the manuals).The hole pattern feature has apparently no parameters. So how do I access the parameter &HOLE_INSTANCE_COUNT?If I take a look at the original note&METRIC_SIZE &THREAD_SERIES - &THREAD_CLASS &STD_HOLE_TYPE &VAR&_THREAD &THREAD_DEPTH&NUMBER_SIZE DRILL ( &DIAMETER ) &VAR_DEPTH &DRILL_DEPTH &HOLE_INSTANCE_SPACE&HOLE_INSTANCE_HYPHEN_SYMBOL&HOLE_INSTANCE_LEFT_BRACKET&HOLE_INSTANCE_SPACE&HOLE_INSTANCE_COUNT&HOL

I have about ten years of experience from Solidworks. I started to used Creo Parametric about two weeks ago. Our company will buy own licence next January. I have the question for Creo and how I'm used to doing things in Solidworks.    I think we dont need Wildchill because all Creo files is for customers. Our customers moves the files to own Wildchill. I think we start to use files from the hard disk or cloudy space (Sharepoint or Google Drive).   Is there a possibilty to create document numbers without checking next number from Excel? We have the add on for Solidworks which gives a next document number by automatic without checking from Excel.        

Hiii Good Morning all, I have just started to learn Creo, I have installed Creo 10, while revolving i am getting issue, instead of round it is coming hex revolving, please help me to resolve the issue

Hi.I am using Creo Panametric 8.0. I am new to this programme, but for whatever reason I can't figure out why my removing material when extruding doesn't work. I have looked at other forums but nothing seemed to work. This includes changing the type from solid to surface, as well as making the extrusion into different shapes: some shapes seem to work, some do not.I have made an extrusion out of ellipse and line tool and want to cut that extrusion out of my current cuboid.I have the "remove material" selected and it goes through the cuboid but it doesn't remove any material.Thanks

(currently using the PTCU virtual desktop version of Creo parametric) When I'm creating sketch elements, such as lines, circles, etc., is there a shortcut to immediately enter in the values as I'm drawing them? Such as, a shortcut that brings up the type-in dialogue immediately after placing the element?Right now, it seems like the fastest way is to create the element, then press escape (if drawing a line), then close out the tool using the middle mouse button, then find and click on the little dialogue for the dimension (hoping it isn't overlapping something), THEN finally type in the dimension.This seems very cumbersome and slow, so I wondered if there's a more streamlined process I'm not aware of.

Hello,I stumbled onto a feature in CREO 8. In our organization we used what are called 'bug notes' which are used to denote a hard requirement or process. there are also regular text notes. I have used the contextual code of &sym(bug) and then entered the number when prompted.To some success almost all of them updated. Even when I inserted a bug note. What I did was enter in the code then when asked for the number. This reorders all ny bug notes perfectly except for wen they are broken by a normal non-context note.Is there a code of some sort that allows Creo to count the regular note that are in-between bug note groups that allows for proper renumbering? Bug #24 is the one I inserted and as you can see, they all renumbered correctly until they reached Note 30. They did however continue numbering, it just that the normal note was not part of the count and the sequence continued as if it was not there.

I work with Creo 8.0.8.0I have a model with annotations in the model.There is a z-extension line that moves with the end of the normal extension line.But when I move the normal extension line to the other side of the annotation, the z-extension line doesn't go beyond the annotation.Am I doing it wrong or is this a bug? 

I usually need to export dxf files. I would have a multisheet drawing file, and I would need to make a separate dxf from each sheet. Is there anyway I can do it automatically?  Any script or anything else? I want to export multiple dxf files with one click. Also can I export dxf without border line? I just need drawing view not borders. Is there anyway to stop borders being drawn in export dxf file?

Hello, This is a difficulty I have had with Creo for a long time, I always resort to adding a manual note to look as I want but I was wondering whether what I am trying is actually possible. I have a detail view but wish to have different layer settings for that particular view (compared to its parent) so changed the detail view type to 'General'. By making this a general view, the view label now defaults to the section view (&xsec_name). The detail view retains its name (C) but when I change the view label to say (&view_name), it just returns to the default &xsec_name. Simple question is; is it possible to create manual notes that are associated with specific views that will pull the relevant information from the view by adding the relevant &_x_ information? N.B. I am running Creo Parametric version 8.0.7.0

Hello,   I am having trouble finding the material ID for use in a note.  I have created a new parameter in my material called "SPEC" that I'd like to use in my note.  But I cannot find where to get the MTRL_ID   Thanks for any assistance.
