Creo+ and Creo Parametric

“You’ll park it at your house, drive it to the nearest airstrip, unfold your vehicle, take-off, fly500km, land again, and drive to your final destination.” Flying cars have long been the poster child for the future - a sign that we’ve reached anincredible milestone in technological advancement. But that vision of the future has beenconfined to science fiction for many decades - until now. PAL-V is building the world’s first road-legal flying car, and it’s extremely close to liftoff. The aimis to make general aviation practical for everyday mobility. In this episode we sit in the drivingseat of the stunning PAL-V Liberty, a car that flies like a gyroplane. We meet PAL-V’s marketingdirector, Joris Wolters, who explains the engineering that’s gone into developing the Liberty, andwhat the car is capable of. We also hear from Mark Lobo, who heads PTC’s Windchill product lifecycle managementDivision. He explains how PAL-V uses the PLM solution to deal with its rapid growth and strictdata co

“Even on my 8th launch - still goosebumps. I mean, you realize that engineers can cry.” Satellites are an essential part of keeping our modern lives running, allowing us to navigate,connect and observe the world from a phenomenal vantage point. But when a satellite islaunched into space, it can take many months to get into position in order to start its mission.That was until D-Orbit changed the game. Their satellite carrier ION optimizes space operations by delivering satellites to their finaldestination in a matter of days, instead of months. D-Orbit is the world’s first space logisticscompany, and in this episode we find out how the company got started. We meet D-Orbit’s CTOLorenzo Ferrario in the mission control centre, and hear stories of past launches when emotionsrun high amid the electric atmosphere. We also hear from Brian Thompson, who heads up PTC’s CAD division. He explains how D-Orbit uses PTC’s CAD software CREO to model their bespoke satellites in a fast and efficientwa

“Imagination is one of the most profound human qualities. Every great achievement in human history has started as a work of imagination.” Beginning life as a passion project, Genesis Custom Sabers has since grown into Rob Petkau’s full time job. From cobbled together ‘junk sabers’ to immaculately crafted illuminated swords, Rob has honed his craft over the years, and now places only the highest quality sabers in the hands of wannabe Jedis. In this episode Rob explores the evolution of his designs, and how advances in technology have allowed him to create perfectly custom fit blades. He explains how he creates and designs the sound fonts that bring the sabers to life. And he discusses the immense appreciation he has for his fans, some who treat their sabers as ‘shelf queens’, and others, like Jimmy, who test (and break) them in combat.    

Was on Creo 3, just upgraded to Creo 10. I'm not happy with the new GTOL features. It seems significantly more limited than it was in Creo 3. From videos online, it seems the upgrade happened in Creo 4. Main gripes:1. What happened to the ability to select placement (i.e. free note, leader, tangent leader, in dim, in GTOL, etc)? You can select a reference but the ability to select how you want it displayed is greatly limited.2. I'm attempting to add a feature control frame to a hole note. It's not possible and gives a very wonky result. There's no way to correct this within the GTOL.I found this suggestion which I can't get working, and it's a poor workaround for what was functionally possible in Creo 3 anyway.Solved: how to place a GTOL on a hole note - PTC Community3. Tangent GTOL leaders (i.e. flatness and parallelism). There's no option to flip the direction of the FCF. You're stuck with whatever orientation it gives you. (EDIT: This seems to work on horizontal but not vertica

How does everyone go about attaching geometric feature control frames to surfaces via an existing witness line (I'm on Creo 6 btw)? There are some quirks when attempting to make this happen, you have to make the leader on the FCF go "tangent" so it hides along the existing witness line. Then, one must hide the arrow. If the FCF was attached to an existing size dimension, the FCF leader can be moved such that there is a gap between the FCF leader and the part object lines. (see attached images). You can alter the position of the FCF to left or right of the witness line by holding the shift key while dragging it left or right. (I suppose it's best not to question the reasoning behind such an unintuitive/obscure methodology for this). If you attach the FCF directly to the surface, you cannot get a gap between the FCF leader and the part object lines. Very frustrating. There is an old post here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/No-break-between-witness-li

Hello, I'm using Creo Parametric 8.When I try to replace a model of a view the OK button is still greyed out. I am seeking clarification on whether the "Replace by Reference Model" option is designed for specific cases or if it is intended for use with any model replacement. 

Good morning. We use Pro/TOOLKIT to explore and analyze PTC CAD files from a Windows executable program. To do this, we launch Creo via ProEngineerStart() then we load a file into Creo via ProMdlLoad() and finally we browse the different entities present in the file such as for example geometric tolerances via ProMdlGtolVisit(). My question is: Is it possible to access the reference feature ID of a geometric tolerance from a Pro/TOOLKIT function? I am attaching a screenshot in which you can see the procedure to follow to view this information in Creo. Thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely.   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonjour.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.5.0We have made bends tables for spec driven piping in .csv format that match the examples shown. The only difference is we have a range for min and max radius where as your examples show the same size for radius, min, and max. The issue is that we can't change the bend radius for piping. when you go under modify>corner segment and select the corner you want to change the bend radius pick list is greyed out even though we have a range of radii to choose from.

Hello, today I've been trying to start contact simulation of some sort of an assembly. (sorry can't do any screenshots or give a model)I've started slowly and made my way as smooth as possible to make sure results are valid. 1. geometry was prepeared acording to drawing documentation2. adding simulation features3. doing small sub assemblies to check if everything is connected4. finally adding time dependent force to act on assymbly  and boom nothing is working. Spending 8more hours to find the error. Nothing has been found everythin has been checked.  and than after 12 hours of search and tests i'm turning  back Time dependence from my table defined function back to ramp(predefined function) and somehow it starts to work without any problem.  Has anyone of you met this problem??? What should i do next. It is 5 full workdays to completely rebuild model from scratch. I don't want to(

Using Creo 9.0.1.0I have a drawing program watching the state in Windchill (InWork, Under Review, Released, etc) as the state changes the drawing program updates a parameter with a message displayed on the border of the title block (“InWork - not for production use”)I need to update that program to include a new state with a new message. Right now the drawing program is unique to each drawing file. Is there a setting to reference a file that can be updated in a single location? Or any way to make a bulk update using a script Creo|SON or anything other than opening each file every time a program update is needed?

In my creo's manage file window lock file or unlock file option is not available. is there any configuration setting needs to be changed for that??

Hi, I have a question about splitting a surface in Creo 7.The face in question looks like this. I would like to split this surface where the line is. See picture.This due to me wanting to draft the faces opposite direction, one CW and one CCW of the hinge above. Product in question is to be molded, therefore the desired features.Can this be done using Creo 7.0.7.0?  Best regards, Fredrik 

Hi, I have to make flexible a subassembly for use it in double copy in an assembly. I have to change independtly, for the two identical and flexible subassembly, the inclination angle of a pin constraints.How can I do it? Best regards, Michele Barile

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode 9.0.1.0I need to upload a transparent image into a Creo format file (.frm). I can upload images into the format files but Creo always gives them a white background. I have tried to insert transparent images of many different file types and none have retained their transparent background once uploaded into Creo format.

Creo10 bug, export DWG with stroke all charactors, then open it with AutoCAD. there are two small points in the front and back of dimension. and the dimension txt height is 0.0001, width factor is 0.1, there are not this issue with creo9, 8, 6, 5.I have try all the export setting, but it make no sens, anyone can help?  

I recently installed Creo 10 to work with an existing parts and assembly database created using Creo 6. On creating drawings from these files, when I attempt to edit parametric dims and/or hatch patterns I get the above message.The parent part and assembly files are stored on a local drive of a Creo PC licensed using Floating Licensing. The file permissions on Windows dont appear to be an issue - I can edit and save the part and assembly files in Creo. Using the Read Only functionality in the Part and Assembly modelling environment shows the features in the parts to all be unlocked.I'm stumped. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?Tony Owens
