Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello，Everytime I click the links, Creo`s inner browser will open a new window to show the page,But most times I want page show in new tab,Do you know how to set the configuration to change that?Thank you！ 

I'm working on building a table of mass-properties for components in an assembly. I am using assembly patterns for common hardware components, and I would like to obtain an aggregated mass properties for all the fasteners in a pattern (mass, CG, MOI etc) My team-member is moving patterns into separate sub-assemblies to accomplish this (you are able to "activate" and thus isolate the parts as an assembly,) but that feels like quite the convoluted work-around and breaks up the logical organization of my model-tree. Is there a direct way to pull the combined mass properties for a circular pattern of bolts? Note: Some of the patterns are not symmetrical, and I'd prefer to avoid aggregating numbers manually. Thanks in advance.D Hale  

I have a table/repeat region that lists all spools used in my assembly but that is not what i want.  I want the table to list each bundle by name and then show it's length.  Does anyone know how to reference the bundle name in a repeat region?  

Howdy PTC folks! Do y'all know how to run an analysis that can determine what the maximum force load (up to the yield point) can be for any particular low carbon steel part given a specific geometry, and force location/direction.  Surely there is a way to do this, right? I've seen tutorials on how to optimize certain features of the design like material thickness or other dimensions, but what if I just want to know how much of a load a particular part can handle? The only way I know how to do it is by running multiple simulations and increase the load incrementally each time until the von mises stress gets close to the yield strength. Which is very inefficient IMO.  Thanks for any help on this!Kevin      

Software version: Cero 9 Noticed a problem when standard steel metal appearance is assigned to a material. When shading with reflections from the view ribbon is used (CTR+1) the appearance is as it should be, however when shading with edges (CTR+2) is used there is no colour assigned to the appearance it seems to revert to a random colour. In my case I have a couple of appearances assigned to a couple of materials and have been cycling through them. The last materials appearance that has been used is what seems to default on the metal appearance when shading display style is selected. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?           

Creo version: 8.0.8.0 Checked the article Article - CS397645 - Windchill Attribute value cannot be propagated to Creo parameter with Limited access (ptc.com) but did not get the solution. Facing an Error "Attribute XXX cannot be propagated to yyy.prt. Modifications made to this attribute in the PDM system will be ignored.”  Article: Reported as SPR Article - CS400349 - Error Attribute XXX cannot be propagated to yyy.prt. Modifications made to this attribute in the PDM system will be ignored.” when opening inventor files in Creo Parametric (ptc.com)                 

I am frequently baffled by this odd behavior:  I am guessing it is related to how Windchill cache works?  Because (I think) it happens when I do a save-as offline and then try to upload a model when back on-line.  So upload fails, I try to investigate dependencies by opening the reference viewer.  System spins its wheels for a minute, comes up with this message:   whether I click ignore or confirm, the next screen is basically empty:   ? so no dependencies - as I expect, since I removed all the old geometry references from it.  So I don't know what's going on as to why it takes ages to load the reference viewer, and its warning message, and the inability to upload / check-in this model.  Will attempt to save my work and restart from a new session, I'm just wondering if someone can shed some light as to what's going on.

Does anyone remember what EMN and EMP stand for in the two files created for import into ECAD software?(EMP = Ecad Mcad Profiles?)   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0ProMdlModificationVerify -> API Giving Modified Flag always True for particular Sub-Assembly. Even after Save and reopen . Since it is a Customer part we are unable to share the Assembly with you . If needed we can connect for Remote debugging .

Hi, I've been trying to connect to creo using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications in Excel and it didn't work whatever I've tried.  Let's start from my setup:Those are system variables that I'm using. I've registered vb_api using vb_api_register.bat in administrator mode I've added Creo VB Api......... to References   I'm not trying to open creo using api. I only want to connect to it using Sub Connect() Dim asynconn As New pfcls.CCpfcAsyncConnection Dim conn As pfcls.IpfcAsyncConnection Dim session As pfcls.IpfcBaseSession Dim mdlname Set conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5) End Sub But no matter what i'm getting errors like this  If  creo isn't running i'm getting error like this   Please suggest to me something so i can fix this

Hello,Does anyone know how to change the dimensions of the drawing lines because when I save in pdf format... I have big lines that appea. Thanks. 

Hello, Does anyone know how to solve the problem below? I can't get rid of the bar.Thanks          

Hello,I would like to ask You if it´s possible set the gap between leader(dimension) line and dimension text (on the picture).  I tried to use dim_text_gap but it doesn´t work as we wanted. i found article that is impossible ( https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Increase-dimension-offset-from-leader/td-p/616756 ) Just want to make sure, that still valid. Other solution we already discussed. Thank YouHave a nice day 

There must be a way I can adjust the position of the Jog in my Offset Line... I try to drag the Handle but it always snaps back to the original position.   What's the trick? Thanks

Hello everyone,   I have 10 drawings in format A (A.frm), but now, I want to change all of them to format B (B.frm), Does PTC Creo have any tools to automatically update drawings to format B (B.frm)?        

Hello, i would like to ask you for help. I would like to modify dimensions symbols. In drawing, when you click on dimension and want to modify dimension text. There is symbol pallet. (diameter, +/-.) I would like to edit these smybols. Can you help me how to do it? I think there should some file where these symbols are saved,  i don´t know where.  Thank You for helpCREO PArametric 4Have a nice dayGH      

i use creo parametric 8.0.6.0 i have an assembly of a rope with a hook on it. but for on the drawing i want to rotate the hook 90 degrees so you can see its a hook.i used exploded view for this. and to move some other parts.this works for the current width of the assembly (my assembly chainges width based on a parameter).but for anny other width this rotating action seems to be done using the point(axis) in space where it used to be. resulting in the part moving away from the rope. the yellow eye nut in the picture also gets rotated 90 degrees, but this axis is in the width directon so its fine. does annyone know how to get it to use the actual rotation axis instead of the point in space it used to be in?    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM130Good morning,I want to remove the hatching around a rib.

I have a problem about exporting my model into .pvz file. However when i attempt to export, they got an error that generates traceback.log file.You can see some attempts that i tried;- Updating graphic card driver- Assigning a parameter which enable_opengl_fbo no

Hey there, I am experiencing family table error as the verify instances options is not enabled. Is there any easy way to fix them quickly or what creo tries to communicate about it? Please have a look at the attachment.

I have an AutoCad drawing and I would like to create 3d part in Creo. What is the best way to preform this operation.Thanks  

This Please confirm message comes up when download selected from the Vault Browser.  We would like this message to not appear at all.  We are using Creo 7.0.4.0 and Autodesk Vault Pro 2022 with the 2022 Vault Add-In for Creo. 

- Creo7 - Hey, I have been stuck trying to create a parameter for this instance.I have a UNITS parameter column with predefined parameter properties aka "values" listI then have a PURCHASE parameter column which also has predefined parameter properties aka "values" list. The only connection I want, is that when the UNITS value is set to "REF", I then want the PURCHASE column to display a "-" (aka dash) Placing the following string is the closest I've got so far...If UNITS="REF"PURCHASE="-"ENDIF But this appears to just be a check and notifies me when they are off.I just want to be able to use my value drop down on the UNITS or PURCHASE parameter freely with the exception that when I select "Ref" in the UNITS column, the PURCHASE column automatically switches to "-" This seems achievable right? If it helps, my UNIT values are just: EA,  REF,  PKG,  X and the PURCHASE VALUES ARE: N/A,   X,   - Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I'm trying to model a cable that is warping in a cylinder. Practically I have 2 discs with different diameters with cables connected to each side of the disc.  When I start rotating the discs, the cable will start warping to the cylinder (without the cylinder in the middle they will all converge to a point). I was able to construct a model where I have the 2 cables tangent to the cylinder, but now I'm having troubles to design the curve wrapped into the cylindrical surface. When I try to connect the two segments, I can't place the curve on the surface, since Creo is making me select just half of that. Is there any way I can place a curve on a cylindrical surface for more than 180°? 

When initially bringing a part into an assembly using "main Window" mode, but prior to placing the part, can you change the default incoming position relative to the assembly, maybe there is a config setting that allows the new part to appear in the current window? Why am I asking - On large assemblies, the new incoming part enters the assembly model very far from where I want to place it (way off screen). it takes a lot of mouse work to drag it over to where it needs to be placed. Why am I not using the "Separate Window" mode in assembly? Because the separate window mode is quirky and difficult to use (parts almost always end up upside down or end up being unassembleable forcing one to use the main-window mode.   Thanks!
