Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have seen this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hky98wUL-jo&list=PLRhPac0z_f-FIsmKbE1fR1ZlEMXBZcZvN from David Martin on worst drawing practices. There, he says that most dimensions should come from the model. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxKmlE8afhs on worst modeling strategies, he says that you should not create your model in a way that represents manufacturing. But, when I make a drawing, it is mostly for manufacturing. And if I did not build my model in respect to manufacturing, then I can not take the dimensions etc. over from the model. I also have made the experience that when I make a new model, it is built up in a way that is different to how it is manufactured. For example, the lathe operator maybe needs diameters and everything dimensioned to one edge of the part. But, when I modeled the part in Creo, I maybe dimensioned a revolve in reference to another revolve. So they do not reference the same edge. Does somebody maybe know how to deal with thi

I created a project using the creo framework module and now I need to create the optimization of cuts for rectangular tube profiles, for example:I buy a 6m bar and I need to know the best way to use the pieces of everything to cut this bar  Is there any way for me to create this with PTC technologies ?       

  The Archimedes screw is a water pump that allows water to be raised from a lower to higher elevation. It consists of a central shaft with a helical surface, which itself sits within a cylindrical channel. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is as follows: Design an assembly for the Archimedes screw capable of lifting water a vertical height of 1.5 meters. The assembly should contain at least one mechanism connection. Your Archimedes screw does not have to resemble those in any of the images here. It can be either hand-operated or motor-driven. (The motor can be represented by a simple box part model.) Create a rendered image of your model. (Optional) Create a Kinematic Analysis using the Mechanism Design Extension (MDX) and output a movie of the playback. Note that every license of Creo Parametric comes with MDX. (Optional) Create a rendered animation of the motion using the Design Animation Option (DAO). Every license of Creo Parametric comes with DAO. In your su

Flexible offset is changing the chamfer dimension from 0.50 to 0.30 with 0.00 offset. this should not happen.I am using Creo 7.    

Hi all. In Creo toolkit how to take left and bottom most edges from the drawing view(not a model view)?if anyone knows pls help me Thanks   

(view in My Videos) 

I need to create a Logo to place on a Drawing Template in Creo Parametric 8  but when I try to create it it shows only the lines.  How can I make it of a solid color?   

If there are multiple combination states how to identify which view state the PMI belongs to.If there are multiple combination states, how to identify to which view state a PMI belongs to.If there are multiple combination states, how to identify to which view state a PMI belongs to.     

I added this line to my config.pro for Creo 9.0.5.0: EFX_LIBRARY_PATH X:\OR\Engineering\Systems\PTC_Settings\afx\ It gives an error message when I look at my active configuration that it is an invalid setting. I did copy the <loadpoint> Common Files/afx folder to  X:\OR\Engineering\Systems\PTC_Settings I got the information from a 2018 thread, so I wonder if the settings have changed since then?  

When I open a Drawing file in Creo Parametric 8, it won't let me put either tolerances or dual dimensions on the dimensions I place. Please help meeee, how can I activate those functions?       

I had Windchill 12.0.2 with Creo 7.0.10 and CreoView Adapter 8.0 running where submitting a job by chedk-in would launch the adapter and publish the image. Did an upgrade to Creo 9.0.5 and CreoView Adapter 9.1 the other day and now it won't start automatically. If I start the ProEworker on the Windchill server, I can use the Worker admin tool and start the publishing and then jobs publish. If the ProEworker is not started, the worker doesn't start. In either case, the icon says Executable Not Safe, but it does start with the worker already running. I have double and triple checked the agent.ini file and the worker.exe.whitelist.prefixes setting to be sure both are spelled and capitalized exactly as Windows sees the folder names. Anyone have some idea as to what to try next?

I am trying to figure out how to pass an IDF from Creo (7.0.8.0) to my electrical coworkers who use Mentor Xpedition. I have been able to import IDF pairs I have received from them and see all the components, but I can't seem to export an IDF that shows them the components. Why is it that Creo only exports an emn from an assembly and no emp? When I send the emn over and they import it to Xpedition, they get the board outline, holes, keepouts, etc. but the components don't come in and it says "Component [ref des] found in IDF file but not in design so it was not imported" and I'm not sure what that error really means. How can I give an IDF with components placed with their outlines to my EEs?  

I have a question about good practices, how to best choose the bend and corner reliefs (oblong, circle, rectangle, etc.)? When is one better than the other? Do you use any type as standard? 

Hello,After installing Creo 10.0.0.0 Parametric with the UNI/Student license, the Composite feature is missing, as shown in the attached picture (It should be below "lattice". Other students using the same license and install configuration have it present. I reinstalled Creo, deleted and set up the license again. I tried configuring the ribbon (maybe the feature just isn't shown), but there is only a "composite properties" feature available with the name "composite" in it (see attached picture). Thanks    

Hi, Currently when we import an emn & emp file in creo while connnected to windchill, if the component model exists in the windchill database, the import function will place the real model rather than the place bound volume.The issue is that there may be some component cad models that are wrong within the windchill database (the origin is badly oriented, or the dimensions are wrong), and i would not like to import them, and import the place bound volume instead.Is it possible in any way to tell creo or windchill  to only search for components in a specific container within windchill?  (for instance the "OFFICIAL_LIBRARY" container) 

When I open an old version of an assembly using Windchill, it opens with the newest version of the components. Is there a way of opening the old version of the assembly with the then-versions of the components assembled? 

I'm still learning the Creo features.I would be grateful if you could help me.I was checking out the Demo for the Enhanced Pattern feature.As you can see in the picture, there is a hole in the shape.When I checked the task tree on the left, I saw that the Extrude item contains reference elements. I tried to do something like this, but it was not possible to implement it like the method in the Demo except to set the reference element first and then Extrude. How can I Extrude like in the demo? 

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?
