Hi, how can I represent an assembly with 2 different configuration (sets of constraints) of subassembly?I realize the snapshot of the 2 configuration of subassembly.When I put the subassembly in 2 upper level assembly, if I recall a snapshot in one of this assembly, it put the same configuration in the other assembly: I want to mantain 2 different configurations in the 2 different assembly. Best regards, Michele Barile 

Which version of Creo using the Unite extension will open 2023 Inventor files?Same question with 2024 Inventor files.

Hello,I am working on a macro in VBA api with creo 4.0 M140 to update relations in a model.I managed to have everything work out with the pfcModel.Model.Import inputing the path for a .txt file with the relations I want and the IpfcImportInstructions object created from relation import instruction. My tests were running well, and then suddenly, the method model.import throws a ToolkitGeneralError that I cannot comprehend. I've tried stripping my code to just the one action of using the import method, but now I keep getting that error, and I do not see what is going wrong.Calling another property of the Ipfc model works so it seems to be correctly defined.Any help will be greatly appreciated !Here is my test code : Sub Run_test()Dim asynconn As New pfcls.CCpfcAsyncConnectionDim conn As pfcls.IpfcAsyncConnectionDim session As pfcls.IpfcBaseSessionDim model As pfcls.IpfcModel 'SESSION INITIALISATIONSet conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5) 'start of the creo vb

Hi, every time I open a particular assembly, I find some parts hided, in the principal representation and, every time I have to run the show all command (Ctrl+Shift+H). How can I show definitively again all the hidden parts?Best regards, Michele Barile  

hi,My Java code calls a bat file which runs the Creo Distribution utility and gets notified when "nmsd.exe" (PTC service for conversion) gets created.Here is the bat file:"%CREO_BASEDIR%\ptcdbatch.bat" -nographics -process C:\temp\convert\conversion.dxc And the conversion.dxc file is as below:<DXC>  <Windchill></Windchill>   <Group DSQM="_LOCAL" Name="IGES 3D Export" Output="2" OutputDir="C:\temp\convert"  PrimaryContent="0" TTD="C:\temp\convert\iges_3d_export.ttd.def" VaultResults="0">  <Object>C:\temp\convert\PartFile.prt.1</Object> </Group></DXC> When the bat file is run, "nmsd.exe" gets called and the part file is converted to the .igs file.But even after the conversion is complete and the log file shows "successful" conversion, the nmsd.exe doesn't get terminated and remains for sometime. Because of this my Java code couldn't understand if the conversion was over successfully.Is there a way to

Hello Team, I’ve developed a Visual Basic API based Creo application. I’ve deployed it in my machine, it is working fine. When I deployed to other end user machines, the application is not working. Below is the error,  I’ve correctly set the Environmental variables and registered VB-Api in client end user machine as well. Can you please resolve this?Tried updating Dot Net Framework to V4.7.2 as well.     

When publishing a PVZ file from Creo Parametric, the message log will state something along the lines of:  Publish completed - # Errors # Warnings  When # is not 0, how can I actually read what those errors and/or warnings are? I tried generating a log with the published PVZ, but the resulting log is fairly unhelpful, simply stating what was published, where it was published to, and with which recipe file. 

Hello, i would like to know if there is any possibility to import stress map to Creo.We have sheetmetal parts that are made using press and we know what stresses are inside of it. But we need to simulate it and check if stresses are in allowed range. How can i import initial stredded data to creo simulate?

I should be able to edit/modify the global coordinate system (CSYS) when starting a new part.  But when I open the Edit Definition dialog, the Origin and Orientation tabs are greyed out; inaccessible.  I don't understand why.  

I want to make a mapkey, which converts a *.stp file into a *.prt file. First step is to convert it into a *.sat file using save as. with a pauseThat saveas name should be reused when naming the  the final *.part.How can I get the mapkey to read, store and give the final *.prt that name?

When you want to create or edit a round or chamfer you should see your selections in the "Sets" column, you could select a set from the "Sets" tab and edit individual model edges, this no longer seems available, you can see the sets in the "Pieces" tab and add or delete sets but not individual edges. I am using Creo 4.0 M100. In the youtube video https://youtu.be/XkNwr49vGEw?si=P_WVyUhm12UAtiR1 you can see him using the "Sets" tab, this no longer works for me, when I click on it nothing appears. you used to able to edit individual edges in a set, for instance if you had selected a large set of edges in a set and one of the edges caused the the feature to fail you could locate the one edge in the "sets" column, remove it and carry on, if you try that in the "pieces" column you only get the option to remove the entire set, which means if it is a large set you have to select all the edges again.    

Hello, I'm trying to import a drawing file to the prt selected by creo using ProSelectionDrawingGet. However, the error PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND appears and cannot proceed. Looking at the meaning, it means no associated drawing found, but I have a drw file in the model file. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if I misunderstood this function or if it was used incorrectly. Thank you. 

Hi,   The Toolkit API can calculate the model's outer angle size through ProSolidOutlineCompute. This function can exclude some elements such as datum features and curves. Surfaces and hidden features cannot be excluded from ProSolidOutlineCompute() calculations. We'd like to hear your thoughts on ideas for solving these problems. 1. Exclude hidden features and surfaces of the active model, convert to STEP, and then RETRIVE to perform ProSolidOutlineCompute().: It takes a lot of time2. Use ProSolidFeatstatusGet to visit the Geomitem of features excluding surfaces and hidden features to find the minimum and maximum points of XYZ.   If you have any better ideas, please help.   Warm Regards, SeonHo CHA.

Hello, How to get all the current configurations (the session config) in Creo Protoolkit? I know that there is ProConfigoptionGet function, but it only retrieves the specified option name not all. Thank you! 🙂 MrSteveR_3

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0The drawing won't open and says "(title of drawing) cannot be retrieved". Has anyone else had a problem with a drawing not being able to be retrieved?No matter what I try I cannot get the drawing to open. This drawing has many sheets with a lot of information and will take many, many hours to recreate.

Hi, I still use the WF4 version and I would like to know if on the latest versions of Creo Parametric it is possible to impose tangency conditions on lines/planes/curves in the splines at the intermediate points as happens for Catia.The curves referred to are external to the spline profile.To better understand what I mean, look at thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba8ycG1dPtAat minute 30.45forget the restYou can also get there by building but it's quicker that wayHI

Using CREO Parametric 7.0 I am trying to create a forklift mechanism. In the picture, the bottom of the red screw will be attached to a motor that is mounted to the same plate that the bottoms of the tan channels are. As the motor screws upward, it will lift up the grey section. There will be two cables attached to the tan bar running between the two channels. Those cable will then run over the grey bar and back down to the tan hooks. This means that the brown frame will be lifted as the screw lifts the grey frame. My question is, how do I simulate this wire in a way that will allow me to do an Ansys simulation of the forces when the lift is fully extended? I can also use CREO simulate if necessary.    

When editing a table field, with a parameter in it.  Creo will open the menu manager first before the editing pop-up, which is rather annoying.  It seems to be random when it opens the manager first instead of just opening the editing pop-up.  This is an extra and rather annoying step when you get the pop-up.  What causes this?  I have had this annoyance since Creo 3.  Creo 3,7,8,10 seem to all be random when it chooses to pop-up the menu manager.  Does anyone know how to solve this? Menu Manager Pop-Up Editing Pop-Up   

Dear all, We are using color coding in our company. And for defining different areas of insert i am using flexible offset with 0.00 offset and attach offset geometry.  Creo 3 it was working fine i.e.; I will use flexible offset and use intent surface filter and color the feature.but in Creo 7, flexible offset will use the base geometry color to color the feature. (still, I can color it, but it will go back original when regenerate). is there any way I can avoid the colour change when regenerating or any other alternative method. Any help will be appreciated.       

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.9.0I have an assembly with some cabling operations. when I am exporting it as a step file, I get cables as surface but I want it as solid.it there any way to do so, Please help

I have a parameter driven table with a comment column at the end of table in this column each cell gets notes and comments and many times a report symbol. Some of the cells I want to be a specific text color but I find it to change the entire column to the text of any cell color. I believed the comment column to be a dumb column with no unity to any other cells in the column. AM I missing anything here. I attached how I want it to look. Maybe there is a parameter to change text color in a line.CREORelease 7 Version 7.0.8.0      

Could someone please clarify why an additional line is appearing on the V-notch in Image 2? Additionally, what distinguishes the process of generating a flat pattern directly from the "customize graphics toolbar" compared to using the unbend features from the "Ribbon" and then creating the flat pattern from the family table after suppressing all features?In Image-1, I generated the flat pattern using the customize graphics toolbar.In Image-2, I utilized the bend feature from the toolbar and suppressed all features in the family table after all bends were made.Image-1 Image-2       

I have a model I'm working on understanding / animating. It has a number of datums added within subassemblies.In searching for the easiest way to hide all datum planes (which for some reason don't disappear when I turn off plane visibility) I found a method recommended to:Create a LayerAdd elements to layerHide Layer This is looking pretty good, and when I go to add all the datum-planes using a Rule, all the layers I want to hide are "collected." NOTE: Include submodels is selected. As you can see it shows 194 elements found that match [Type = Datum Plane]When I hit OK however, only the assembly default 3 remain in the filter.See the rules and Options for this selection: When I press "Edit Rules" shown above, the Include Subbodels is no-longer selected...This seems to correlate with the results that I'm getting.Not sure where to go from here. Really just looking for an effective way to hide Datum Planes that are not actuated by the     Plane Display b

I am currently researching alternative ways of annotating our models, and keep running into road blocks. There has never been a particularly high degree of focus among my predecessors of using metadata/parameters within the model to help drive things. We use find numbers in balloons in our drawings, but deviate from what PTC seems to intend in two ways:Those balloons are custom symbolsThe value of those balloons that is displayed is manually entered textAfter refreshing myself on repeat regions, I figured out how one might use them in combination with assembly-level component parameters to create balloons that auto-populate. However, in order for this to work I had to define those component parameters for each unique part instance in the assembly, including fasteners. Is there not a way to only enter this once per unique part number, rather than instance? And how would I avoid having to recreate the same parameter in each component? The list of component parameters is empty for ea

Is there a way in creo cabling to bundle several harnesses together and still be able to generate the flats for each harness?  We have four harnesses, and are putting sleeving on the common routes and want it to be shown in the model. I tried making a harness with four subharnesses, but the flat doesn't generate properly with a shared bundle. If you need more info, let me know. Thanks! CREO 9 // Creo Schematics 4
