Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Is there anywhere where the Creo parameter types are organized?For example,&Model_name : ???&sheet_number/&total_sheets : ???Like this... 

Hi, using Creo4 here and I am wondering if I am doing something strange but this was not quite expected: I prepared an explanatory note that is attached to geometry that is being brought in via the extern-copy-geom mechanism. But the parameters displayed by this note, which show up just fine when viewing the source model, disappear when the note is rendered in the target model: How the annotation and published geometry was prepared in the source model What the published geometry looks like in the target model   I realize that to get around this *** issue, I can craft my note to only use its own "annotation element" parameters.  And via relations, those can be made to be equal to the "original" feature and model parameters.  But that seems like twice the work...

I'm using beam elements to simulate some components. When visualizing the results I can show only the beams and show labels at the minor nodes of the beam, as seen in the image. However, the label on the node seems to get hidden. Thus, is there an easy way of offsetting the labels a little or "bringing them to the front"  of the graphics?   

I am currently using CREO 9.0 version.I was wondering how to use the OPTION window function to set the sketch shape reference element when sketching during DRAWING in CREO 7.0 version in CREO 9.0 version. (I know that the OPTION window has been removed due to the addition of the SNAPPING function).  

Is there any way to set the weight of the modeling to be automatically included when formatting the drawing?For example,When I finish modeling, I want the weight of the modeling to be automatically included in the drawing format when I create a new drawing. 

Hello!Please help with fatal error. Occurs in various situations (sectioning, hiding components, view settings). Traceback as an attachment Creo 5.0.4.0 

There countless ways to automate Creo, starting with templates, relations, mapkeys, trail files, the Creo API etc. all well known, used and documented. But there is one concept which I use, but hardly ever read about, and that is to use image processing with Creo. And by image processing I mean, taking a screenshot of your desktop screen, analyse it with OpenCV and/or Pytorch and then click for example on a feature. So the process would be something like this: image processing > trail file/mapkey > image processing > trail file/mapkey > image processing > trail file/mapkey .... Admittedly it is a rather silly approach, since this has the worst performance you can imagine. Originally it started as one of my isItPossibleInCreoProjects, but still I use at work regularly. Since I couldn't find much on this topic, I made a short video to demonstrate it. 

When we run ModelCheck, I have it set to check for certain parameter values. This works fine if the value is not in the list or the parameter is not designated to Windchill. With some older files from another design group that we have inherited, the parameter may not be in the file. Is there a method to report that a parameter is not in the file?   These will report if the parameter is not designated or the value is not on the list. PRT_PARAMETER CLASSIFICATION STR EQ LIST_CLASSIFICATIONPRT_PARAMETER CLASSIFICATION NONE EQ PDM   We are running Creo 9.0.5.0 with Windchill 12.0.2.10. ModelCheck files were created with Creo 7, but I don't see any significant changes in the setup files.  

Is there an easy way to set materials for imported parts? We import a lot of customer data via STEP or IGES files and need to set either the density or the material, but they all need to be the same. The goal is to set the import files near zero and add a cube with the correct weight and CG location. I had a process in Creo 5, but we just updated to Creo 10 and that process no longer works.

You are using the ProAsmcompMdlMdlnameGet function. The document instructs you to release the variable whose name is printed to ProWstringFree(), but if you actually use it, an error will occur and you will be forced to exit.Can you tell me what to do?  ProError status; ProFeattype protype; ProMdlfileType f_type; ProFamilyMdlName f_name; status = ProFeatureTypeGet(feat, &protype); if (protype == PRO_FEAT_COMPONENT) { status = ProAsmcompMdlMdlnameGet(feat, &f_type, f_name); if (f_type == PRO_MDLFILE_PART) { ProWstringFree(f_name); } } return PRO_TK_NO_ERROR; }   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM110 I want to set 2 or more directories for formats because of the format version up (in company). Is it possible to specify multiple directories when setting the configuration to read the picture frame file?When the version of the picture frame is updated, I would like to store the picture frame in a separate folder and use it. Currently, only one frame storage folder can be loaded, so even if you save a drawing with a new frame stored in another folder, when you load the drawing again, the new frame will not be loaded and the default Displayed in status.   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM110I want to set 2 or more directories for formats because of the format version up (in company).図枠ファイルを読み込むコンフィグの設定において、複数のディレクトリを指定することは可能ですか？図枠のバージョンが上がった際、図枠を別のフォルダ

HI All, We are using different material notes n our drawing, eg, Assembly drawing notes, welding drawing notes, part material notes. Each user is typing the notes differently so to communize we exploring a option to use draft group in a separate drawing which will have all the drawing notes, we are trying to use map key "notes" to pull this note drawing and the user needs to pick the note he needs and has to position in their drawing. Could somebody help us on we can automate easily.   

Hello!I have some parameters in my drawing.For example - FORMAT, NUMOFSHEETS How can I add this parameters in repeat region? For example construction &format doesnt work in repeat region (hides the parameter value)  

Hi All, Whenever I click on "Show model annotation" on a sketch, I find that all the dimensions are selected by default (See attached screenshot). I have to untick each time. Is there any way so that we can keep the boxes untick by default? I would appreciate your help with this.

Hi all,Any recommendations for a high end laptop for running Creo?Processor speed?RAM: 16G or more?Graphics card?Thanks,Stefan

Windchill guy here helping out one of my users. I am sure there is a well documented fix and perhaps you can point me in that direction. We have a very large assembly drawing which are using drawing reps to even be able to work on. One drawing sheet has been giving us problem where in some instances, dozens of ABC datum tabs appear cluttering the views. I've tried to create special layers to deal with them and we make sure to save status and we are using simp reps as best we can. Here is where it gets funny. At one point we cleared this up, looked great. Obviously models at various levels get worked on but if I pull up the as-stored baseline of this drawing and execute the rep to get to this particular sheet, it looks great. No issues. If we turn on all sheets or other sheets that we need to work on and return to this sheet that was giving us problems, boom. The datum tags appear again. I was able to pull up latest on this drawing and repeat a similar behavior. The time delay in workin

Hello everyoneI am using Creo Parametric 9. I'd like to create a symbol in which i can insert an upcounting number tepends on how many of this symbols are in the model. Eg. If there are 3 symbols in the model and i insert an other one the number of the inserted symbol schould be 4. The other symbols shouldnt update the number.Thanks for help.   

Creo 7.0.8 Question:Is there a way to trigger animations using hot-keys? Background:As I've been working through the designs on some relatively complex mechanical assemblies, it has been really beneficial to my peer-review groups to have some animations to illustrate how my mechansims work. While I have been creating individual animations, exporting the video, and running the review from Powerpoint, it is really common that we end up browsing the CREO Files live for more clarity. I would like a way to have a series of animations / explode-states that I could readily trigger via hot-keys / map-keys  / even an on-screen set of buttons that initiate a state.Example:State 1: Closed tool-caseState 2: Opened Tool-caseState 3: Ratchet-wrench removal from case, socket removal from case, socket installation to ratchet-wrenchState 4: Ratchet+Socket moved to bolt My actual needs are more complex, and the mechanisms I'm designing require re-positioning and re-orientat

Hi everyone,I need to do a completely automatic drawing from file step.I already use various templates butwhat I would like to do is this:1) I import the step2) I find the dimensions of the box that contains the piece3) based on the size of the part I decide the format to use and the scale4) mathematically I detect which are the largest dimensions to establish an orientation of the part and therefore define a "TOP" view which is the starting point of the projections.5) With the program in detailing I also do the other projections. I already have experience with TRAIL file generatorsfor example I made one that opens a list of drawings and creates the pdf and backs it up in a given folder. What I'm missing is having a command that gives me three variables, x-y-z, for the dimensions of the piece and three other variables, DX-DY-DZ, AX-AY-AZ, which give me the distance and orientation of the piece in way to redefine the step reference with another CS  to use all the views of

I've been using VB API for a couple of weeks now and now i want to add a button to the ribbon. But I can't even start an application in CREO. My code looks like this: Imports pfcls Module Module1 Public asynconn As New CCpfcAsyncConnection Public conn As IpfcAsyncConnection Public session As IpfcBaseSession Sub Main() user_initialize() user_terminate() End Sub Sub user_initialize() conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 1) session = conn.Session End Sub Sub user_terminate() conn.Disconnect(5) End Sub End Module My protk.dat file: NAME test EXEC_FILE D:\Users\Creo_7\Test_Button.dll TEXT_DIR D:\Users\Creo_7 STARTUP dll delay_start FALSE allow_stop TRUE REVISION 2001 END  config.pro: protkdat D:\Users\Creo_7\protk.dat What is a minimum requirements for creo VB application to run inside of CREO and how than can I add button on the ribbon? Errors that I'm getting   

I have a large assembly in Creo 8 with about 30 simplified reps. How can I figure out from the model tree to which simplified rep a certain component belongs, it could be a member in multiple simultaneously.I realize you can create columns in the model tree representing the simplified rep, but having a large number of simpl. reps. makes this less practical.Ideally, I'd like to right-click on the component and have the option see all involved simpl. reps.Thanks. 

Hello,  I am looking for a parameter in Creo 7.0 how I can avoid to set a working directory to a network share folder.  Kind regards, Michael   

Hai,We are into color coding in mould insert manufacturing. currently all inserts have to be coloured manually. Iam checking for option of coloring the inserts automatically in the software itself. Please refer below picture for example for the coloring requirement.The splitting work is done in manufacturing (mould cavity) mode. after splitting the insert is coming as below                   the requirement is at least fitting area color change to either brown or yellow automatically (both can be achieved will be great).kindly let me know how this can be made. Any help will be appreciated. Iam using Creo 7.    

Good morning  everyone,I need to create the drawing in batches of 40-80 parts in step format.There is a way to adapt the format to the size of the part, tocenter the views only on the solid geometry, regardless ofthe position of the CSYS. Thanks for your help.
