Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric 6.0.4.0 How do I go about having this helical sweep taper off at the ends?   

I have a drawing with multiple sheets. Sheet one has a master assembly and the subsequent sheets have sub-assemblies that belong to the master assembly. Sheet 1 behaves correctly, but the parameters on other sheets doesn't behave as expected. When I create a new sheet, the parameters in the table in the new sheet will be linked to whatever model is on the current sheet. When I try to edit the parameters in the new sheet, they have some random references attached, for example scale parameter would be "&scale:115", not sure where the number 115 come from, so if I edit this number out, then the scale is representative of the current active model. Is there anyway the sheets display parameters that are active on the respective sheets? I work around by individually removing the reference the parameters on every sheet. Currently, every parameter in the title block-title, scale, mass, drawing number etc. retain a reference to the model from the previous sheet.  

Hello,I'm using the Zemax opticbuilder add-in with Creo student edition. One of the great features of this add-in is the generation of 2d drawings based on iso standards. Unfortunately, the template can be used only with a commercial license even if our Zemax license is an educational one... with the agreement of Zemax, would it be possible for you to make the template compatible with the student edition? Cheers

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0Hello, I just made below mapkey yesterday. And I want modify it, I want add something between them.....sadly I can't remember how I did it...can you explain them ??mapkey ac @MAPKEY_LABELauto color;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `View:ProCmdViewGallery`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` \mapkey(continued) `ProCmdViewGallery_layoutph.palette_holder.clearAppearance`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` \mapkey(continued) `ProCmdViewGallery_layoutph.palette_holder.clearAppearance`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `clearAllAppearance`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `UI Message Dialog` `yes`;

Hello,Might be a beginner's question but how and where do I edit the messages that are printed to Message log?  In my local CAD environment I have created a mapkey that performs operation X. I want to print a message like: "Execution of Operation X" when I use the mapkey.  Picture below depicts examples of printed messages. How and where I do edit these? I use Creo 4.0.Thanks in advance!

Hi, recently changed to Creo 10.0 and noticed that the "standard color" for start templates is not the usual grey anymore. Instead volume parts are kind of lilac, while sheetmetalparts are slighly green. Is there anyway to change this back to the standard grey? I could of course color the templates now, but all of my older projects look lilac and green.

Good day.   I have a problem with Assembly drawings in CREO 10.0. Some lines/edges of parts that have been imported as STEP models show up in an assembly drawing even when behind other parts. These tubes are heat shrink wraps on cable behind several other parts and... These are connectors also displaying through several other parts in the assembly. I've tried the "Import Fix" tool etc., but with no luck.   Any advice will be appreciated.                          

Hello,   does anyone know if it's possible to inject a message into the message log? Let me explain the problem I'm trying to solve and maybe someone can suggest a better solution. We have a start tool which sends the users the right configurations upon startup. And with that the configurations they get are based on groups. So what we would like to display somewhere inside Creo is which group the users has started with.    thanks, Bruce

Hi all, I am working in Creo 9.0.1.0 and when I measure a feature part, then copy the measurement, it seems that Creo does not copy the value. I have tried Ctrl + C to no avail, and right click, copy to no avail. I have tried copying other things on my computer and there's no problem with it. Ctrl + C clearly works in Creo as I can copy and paste a datum plane with it, for example. Any idea why I am unable to copy a measurement? It is breaking my workflow as I need to manually write down the number then retype it where I want to use it. Thank you,Jeff Houston

Attempting to design a sheet metal box for an electrical enclosure.  Will end up needing to be watertight, so trying to avoid large gaps in corners on the flat wall so they can be welded closed.  Using the "Flat" tool creates these large corner gaps.  Any ideas? 

In Creo View version 5.x the lines on the aforementioned 4K-monitor are extremely thin (I assume the same would be true for Creo). This is especially the case for HLR view. The screen is a 4K monitor measuring 24" and having 196 dpi.   Is there an option in Creo View to increase the line width? If not, I suggest adding this, because the lines on high-resolution devices simply get too thin if kept at one pixel line width.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to do this? If I have a fully formed sheetmetal part and I want the driving surface to be on the opposite side from where it is now? Duckduckgo finds a question regarding exactly that in the forum, but for some reason it has been "archived" and I can't read it. https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Change-driving-surface-on-sheetmetal-part/td-p/92134  

Hello,I'm a Creo Parametric 4.0 user. I'm updating the drawing templates for my company and I would like to add repeat regions in a table. In the repeat regions, I intend to display 3D-model parameter.However, for some reason, I'm not able to add repeat regions in a couple of table cells and an error message appears. In most cells it works perfectly fine, but in some cells it really bugs out. See attached pictures. If I unmerge the large cells, I'm able to create smaller, independent regions, But I want the region to be defined in large merged cells.The error message doesn't tell why it couldn't create the repeat region, so I need your advice. How can I resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! Erik  

Hello,I need to export multiple DRWs to PDF,I tried with Creo Distributed batch but it only got a maximum of 10 DRWs,If it exceeds 10 DRWs, the process will be stopped   

We are in Creo 9 and I have a very strong feeling it is possible with a config option to set the number of decimal places only for the tolerance of a dimension independently from the dimension setting itself.  Currently our decimal places setting by default is shown on this pic. Although our config doesn't contain the default_dec_places option but the default value is 2:And compared to that I would like to set the tolerance decimal places to 3 instead of "Same As Dim".I can hardly imagine there is no config option for that, for example dim_tol_dec_places or something like that. Of course I've done some research and found these articles about tolerance decimal places, but as I understood these are not what I am looking for.  https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r10.0/usascii/index.html#page/detail/About_Setting_Decimal_Places_for_Dim_Tol_Values.html https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r9.0/usascii/index.html#page/detail/detail_options

For an automated Windchill authentication Creo Toolkit provides the command ProBrowserAuthenticate to preset login and password information for subsequent Toolkit calls which require authentication and authorization like ProServerWorkspacesCollect, ProServerObjectsCheckin, etc. At the moment many companies are moving from password based access to SSO (single-sign-on) by Shibboleth and therefor the old approach does not work anymore. Is there any workflow existing to provide the credentials from SSO by the Toolkit API?    

I have a table pattern in creo where an angular dimension is considered in the table which i didn't find in the part. In the pattern table the dimension name is ROT_DIR_1.Which dimension is this? Please reply if anyone have the answer. Thankyou. 

hello experts I have a question in creo BOM How can we add the length, width, and height of the workpiece of the finished part? without adding the parameters every time in a new part file. regards Fisa

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.5.1I have a development made with Java Toolkit (Jlink) I have tested it on my computer and on some of my coworkers, the installation has gone without problems in all of them.When I install it on a user's computer it gives me an error, a message appears that the application could not be initialized, I tried it with several users and the same thing happened.I have tried and reviewed all the points that appear in the article in PTC Support (CS26558), and it remains the same.From here I don't know how to proceed or what to look at and check, is there something else that could be causing the application not to initialize? Is there any way to do a debbug or get a log to see what is happening?I have not found any file that can explain what is happening.Thank you so much

is there any way to add flexible model > varied items into the family table as we do for Dimensions & Parameters  ? Refer uploaded pics.  

Hello, I am trying to create this handle in Creo v.9.  My plan was to do the "bend" as a sweep. However I can not manage to do this. I have created a sketch with the outer countor, as you see on my picture below. But what I need help with is which sweep to use and how to create the right cross section at the right point ( the green part in the drawing). I will also upload the part-file.      

Hi I'm trying to streamline design without skeletons or notebooks.I've been using relations referencing the GA. Ex: WO_NUM = WO_NUM:1DIA = DIA:1The :1 calls up parameter of session ID 1I found out that model intent > program can do the same thing with more steps. Is there a reason to use program instead.Do you have any ways to basically do top down design without access to skeletons or notebooks?  

Hi all, I have an assy of a electonic board, received from a supplier, with a lot of component that i know only the mass but not the other value like density.If I try to change "define properties by" to fully assinged and write the value in the mass field and click OK, it will apear a message "Uncorrect Value".The sistem wants all the parameter like density, area, inertia and COG. There is a way to force only the mass value? Thanks  

Hello,I experienced the following unexplained error. I have a drawing of a part with holes, and when I want to put a note with a leader or create a dimension by selecting the hole axis as the reference, the program gives a fatal errorMoreover, if you make a new hole in this model and select its axis as references, everything works I think the solution to my question is here (CS273123), but I don't have a valid subscription (Creo 5.0.4.0)    

Hi there, How can i count the hols in a part and make a parameter with the result?
