Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello all,If anyone has an idea about torsion springs ?I am trying to apply torsion spring mechanisms to this assembly, but during the process I am unable to pick a reference point; the first point is selected, but the second point is unable to be picked, and the torsion spring is not visible. Result of this process I need a calculation against the torsion spring. For reference, I attached a screenshot of the extension spring that shows when the reference points are selected and the spring becomes visible. Torsion spring asm.Extension spring example :    

How to protrude image 1 text vertically as in image 2 drawing?

When working in Creo, the preview of the part is not visible. It has been like this for many generations, now running Creo 10.0.9.0. I tried pressing the install creo viewer link but the installation that poppet up was for creo viewer 9 and I already have creo view 10 on my system. When looking at this part through a normal browser, ie not built in to Creo, I can see the 3d thumbnail. Is there a setting that enables this somehow or do I need a different version of Creo View? 

I want to implement a macro to select two location points and create a branch bundle feature. However, the selection tool doesn't seem to be working properly, as shown in the figure below. Each time, only one location point can be added, and it's impossible to add two location points to the selected list.The help documentation states that when creating a branch bundle, you need to hold down the CTRL key to select two locations. Is there any way to programmatically select two locations? Or is it possible to create a branch bundle using Toolkit?The macro content is as follows, but it doesn't work as expected.~ Command `ProCmdMdlTreeSearch` ;~ Select `selspecdlg0` `RuleTab` 1 `Misc`;\~ Select `selspecdlg0` `RuleTypes` 1 `All`;\~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `EvaluateBtn`;\~ Select `selspecdlg0` `ResultList` 1 `5:67:[6375]`;\~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `ApplyBtn`;\~ Select `selspecdlg0` `ResultList` 1 `70:67:[6375]`;\~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `ApplyBtn`;\~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `CancelButton`;\

I would like to create a map key to save a file to the current working directory\Release with the current date. Is there a way to do this with a variable? ie  %CWD\Release\filename.%mm%dd%yy.pdf

In Creo Sheetmetal, we need to get the drawing of flatten view directly without having any step. Please refer attached video from Soildworks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNMcbeZMGGA&t=110s Do we have this functionality in Creo ? 

I'm using Creo 12.4.0.0 and I'm experiencing an issue when trying to edit certain configuration files in Creo ModelCHECK. Here is the situation:I can edit Start Files and Status Files under the Configuration Files section without any problem.However, when I try to edit files under Check Files or Constant Files, Creo crashes.For example, I tried openin the default_checks_mch, file but Creo immediately crashes.The crash only happens when editing Check/Constant files, not Start/Status files.

In the piping line stock there first tab, one can specify bend radius and bend angle with multiple values, space separated. Why and what is the impact of having multiple values there? Do they drive the pipe design? Then in the Design Rule tab one can define a miniumum and maximum bend radius and angle. Are these driving or what purpose do they have? In the User Defined tab one can define bends (with names) and a value to them. Are these driving or what is the purpose? What I eventually want to do is to ensure that the bend radius is always 30mm. A further refinement that I'm not sure is possible would be to have it vary depending on the bend angle. This is because the bend machine that we have has a fixed radius, and as such the springback of tubes that are bend result in a radius other than 30mm, depending on the angle that is bent.

Creo 10.0.8.0In our material library I want to be able to add the common material designations as custom attributes in the material file.   THEN, I want to use a relation to automatically populate the material attribute MATL_SPEC with the material attribute when it exists. But I have found then when the "custom" material property doesn't exist the relations fail.  I tried using the "exists()" function to check, but the equation fails before getting to the "exists()" function. This is the equation I was trying to use.  When "custom" exists, it works, but if "custom" doesn't exist it fails.if exists(material_param("custom"))test=material_param("custom")endif Also, I've found then when "custom" does exist, I don't actually enter into the "do" part of the IF statement. Is there another recommended work-around or relation function structure I can try?

Please,,clarify to meIs possible i,and run locally Creo Floating (as client)?   Thank you, Pedro.

When exporting a 2D creo drawing to PDF, the microsoft word objects that are inserted are not selectable text in the final PDF.  Is there a setting so that inserted objects are selectable/highlightable in the resulting PDF? Inserting an object in this way, but it seems to come into the 2D drawing as an image and not text/table. 

I’m starting to learn how GD&T works, but I’ve run into an issue.For a plunger pump, I’m making this 2D drawing. I set datum A as the surface the housing rests on, datum B as the axis of the large gears, and datum C as the cover surface with the roller bearing for the shaft carrying the small gear.Now the problem is the area where the crosshead runs. I’m not sure how to dimension this correctly. Should I use a position tolerance relative to B–A–C, or is it better to use parallelism and perpendicularity? Are there other correct methods?Below are two screenshots showing where my datums are located and what the pump looks like in section.  

For a school project, I need to make 2D drawings of already existing 3D parts.Normally, I specify my tolerances (for example 10 n6) using the menu shown in the picture.However, now I can’t do this. Is it because the files date from 2017 and were created in an older Creo version than the one I’m currently using?Also is there a site or forum where i can let my 2D drawings be checked? i got a exam coming up and would love to have them checked but idk if that existsHow can I fix this? I am using Creo 12.4 Education. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeF000I need to store a background image used in a Creo drawing as a Windchill-managed document so others can see it. Currently when I try to create/import a Graphics Dynamic Document (or other Document) in Product I get: ‘You do not have create permission for this object.’ Could you please grant me Create permission for documents in this product/folder, or create a shared library/folder where I have create rights for such image documents?

Hello everyone, I'm building some mapkeys to create some basic functionality that PTC forgot to add in the past 10 years. To do this I'm using the "find tool", which works okay-ish. You can't use the saved query mode though, because sometimes it takes too long to load the query and then it's already finished doing all the mapkey commands, so you have the build the query every single time in the mapkey.... But I'm getting sidetracked. Right now I'm building a mapkey that hides all fasteners in the model. So I use the find tool to look for all fasteners and then hide them. However after running the mapkey, my whole model tree is expanded to the level where every single fastener is.I have tried changing auto_locate_in_tree to every possible option but that only works for items you select by clicking on them.I don't want to use collapse all, because if I was already deep in the tree when running the mapkey, I'd have to dig again. Any ideas on how to do this?

I am using Creo Parametric 11.0.6.0. In AutoCAD, there is a feature called compare with which we could compare the drawings and find out the changes that are made.  In the above image, the holes are changed from Dia 10 to Dia 8. On using the compare tool, the affected regions highlighted with cloud like marking. Is there an equivalent feature in Creo that does the same function as above?

I am creating hole table from points and customized the table according to requirements i,e added some rows but after putting table on drawing when it is need to update by clicking "UPDATE TABLES" it failing all added rows are failed not showing properly .Kindly help to resolve this issue or how can we customized the hole table according to our requirements.Please see attached snaps for reference.

Hi All,We are using Creo Parametric 11.0.5.0As part of our migration from Creo Weblink to CreoJS, we are using the following Weblink code to display messages in the Creo Message Log: Existing Weblink Code:function printMsg(msg){var texts = pfcCreate("stringseq");texts.Append(msg + "\n");try {var glob = pfcCreate("MpfcSession");glob.GetCurrentSessionWithCompatibility(2);g_session = glob.GetCurrentSession();g_session.UIDisplayMessage("usermsg.txt", "USER %0s", texts);} catch (e) {}}In Creo Weblink, we used below code for pfcCreate but for CreoJS this is not needed:function pfcCreate (className){if (pfcIsWindows())    return new ActiveXObject ("pfc."+className);  else if (pfcIsChrome())     return pfcCefCreate (className);  else if (pfcIsMozilla())  {    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");    ret = Components.classes ["@ptc.com/pfc/" + className + ";1"].createInstance();    ret

Hello guys, I am facing an issue with the ProUIDialogCreate API returning PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR when a dialog creation DLL is invoked from another DLL. When the same DLL is executed independently, ProUIDialogCreate returns PRO_TK_NO_ERROR and the dialog is created successfully. Note: The ProUIDialogCreate call is implemented inside the user_initialize() function.if anyone knows the solution, pls let me know.regardsAraivnd

I In .drawing the way to bring an image is clean and nice resolution. WHY in .format, it has different setting for Layout? No Images option! What is the best way to bring image in format the same way as in drawing?  Thanks in advance! ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO FIND IN CREO!

Hi,I am working on a large assembly file which contains a sub assembly that is modelled with flexible dimensions. The screen shot of the assembly is as shown below: I have made use, of 2 instances of above assembly as a sub assembly in top level assembly and shown them in different configurations as shown below. This was done by modifying the flexible dimensions shown above: Now the questions are:Q1:Is there a better method to manage large assemblies such as this? because every single time the file regenerates, it takes a lot of time.Q2:Instead of using flexible dimensions, the other alternative is to make use of mechanisms (which i think is the ideal case) but when the sub assembly is modelled using mechanisms, it becomes difficult to control the varying dimensions (angles and distance) for each instance separately. How do we control this separately?For example:Set and lock, Angle-1 to 60° in Instance-1 and 30° in Instance-2 Thanks! 

I'm very new at compound surfaces. I'm using Creo 9 and I'm trying to create a surface from a sequence of curves shown in the first few pictures. In the past I've been successful with using boundary blend to get a basic surface that I need.  However this case is more complicated than normal in that not only do I have 2 directions of curves I also have an outline it needs to extrapolate to.   The next picture is a successful boundary blend in one direction (it fails when I try to add in the secondary direction curves) but as you can see it spills out over the perimeter in some locations and doesn't fill in the perimeter in others.  To be honest I'm not really sure how to add in the perimeter curve as a constraint. This next picture is the closest I've gotten to a fully filled in outline by selecting the curves in the other direction from the picture above and adding in a selection of the perimeter.  The result as you can see is not desirable as th

Hello, I have partial 3D scan (.stl) of impeller that needs to be converted to CAD model. I cut the model horizontally by stacking planes on top of eachother so I got intersection lines. I did the same with vertical planes, all going through axis Z (axis of rotation). I did that in different program and imported the resulting curves to Creo (.stp). I wonder what would be most efficient way to fill the surfaces. Problems I have are: lines are not as one, but instead there are many of them which is a problem for boundary blend. Of course I would have to firstly fill the missing lines where 3D scan is missing. Anybody has experience with this: either via .stl or .stp imported to creo10?  Thank you for suggestions!
