Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We have the original manufacturer part number as a parameter in the Windchill wt file. I need to get that information into my drawing BOM. How can I go about this? Using Creo 7.     

I am using Creo 8.0.4.0 software, As I am creating the sketch and adding the points to find the coordinates values and adding the values in parameter, is there any other way to find out the coordinate's values of the boundary box without adding the sketch and creating points and add. I want to find out the coordinates values without creating the points. if anyone known the answer please reply.Thanks & Regards        

Hello all, We have recently been upgraded over to Creo 8.0.8.0 from Creo 6.0.6.0. There has been issues with only a single system/user having certain assemblies or their associated drawings crash, but other systems/users have no issues when attempting to access the same assemblies/drawings. The system that is having these issues is the most advanced in terms of hardware, and the other users accessing these same assemblies have not had similar issues with more dated systems. This is occurring after uninstalling and installing again, also after having our IT provide admin access to bypass any firewall issues. I am still unsure if this is an internal issue or not though, as another user just received a new laptop with not as advanced hardware but similar system securities and does not have similar crashes, so that leads me to believe it may be Creo parametric itself. I have spent much time trying to research this topic independently until a recent crash caused a JSON file t

I went through any related topic in the community and the support portal but haven't found the solution yet. I'm 99.9% sure its easily possible. We are using Creo 9.0 We have a parameter in parts and assemblies OBJECT_DESCRIPTION that is also listed as a column in our BOM. Sometimes I find rows in a BOM, with empty Description. In that case I use the Search Tool to find these components with different search criteria, but the most effective way would be to search for the parts that HAVE the OBJECT_DESCRIPTION parameter, BUT it is empty. I attached some pictures. I tried in the search for NULL or "" but that didn't help.       

Hello I'm from Brazil. Please do you have any IFX material for Parametric Creo 7? I have a course coming up and PTC doesn't have any e-learning material.Thanks!   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate   Olá, sou do Brasil. Por favor, você tem algum material IFX para Creo paramétrico 7? Tenho um curso a chegar e a PTC não tem material de e-learning. Obrigado!

As the title says:  it there a way to achieve it?  The specific case is opening a windchill's attachment (PDF) of a wtdocument Creo 9.0.5 with Windchill 12.1.2.2 hereI thought that clicking the wheel mouse button would do the trick, but it keeps opening the pdf in the same tab of the embedded browser (normal chrome does behave correctly) Is there a place to change shortcuts/settings of the embedded browser?  

I've been enjoying getting more into Sheetmetal's powerful and capabilities to recreate this stamped handle assembly from my 40 year old wooden machinist chest...First, I took a photo from all directions and used it to trace and sketch the outlines. I swept the handle profile and then added a new body. I converted the first wall to Sheetmetal, and then it was quite easy to use a Sketched Form with the built-in radius on non-placement edges. I then created a hole pattern and used Intelligent fasteners to screw them in place. Then I used the built in chrome and wood grain appearances and setup render studio to make the image.Here is how I did it:Done in Creo Parametric 10

Hello, I am working with a complex CAD model that has different components, and my task is to reduce the amount of polygons and faces within this model to simplify it. How do I find the total number of polygons/surfaces for the model as a whole?  

Hello,I have drawings with erased views on different sheets. - How resume all (erased) views of current sheet only (without to select them one by one)?When using Resume View > select all, Creo recognize there is views from other sheets but not able to resume only views of current sheet.  - How select erased views with a box not by pick them?Thanks

I had a glitch with my wireless mouse on my computer which caused it to erratically move my cursor and click. After I got my mouse disconnected and my computer back under control, all the faces on all my models seem to be permanently stuck in something that looks like the shaded curvature view, with seemingly no way to get the shading back to normal. There is also intermittently a black screen that replaces the entire view window.This video is currently being processed. Please try again in a few minutes.(view in My Videos)How can I get back to my default view settings? I tried resetting everything to default in options -> System Appearance, but this does not fix the problem. I am running Creo 10

PTC unsupported question but had to ask. Has anyone tested a later version of Creo, like Creo 7.0.10.0 with Windchill 11.0.M030? I would be interested in any issues that they may have come across during there "TEST".

I designed and 3d printed this squirrel picnic table using bamboo wood. It all snaps together like a puzzle with some gorilla glue. Screw an acorn to the top and put it outside on a tree. I used a master modeling technique where the entire assembly is comprised of a single part model with multiple bodies that are driven by relations. I allowed the bodies to intersect and used a boolean cut to subtract the differences. I used flexible modeling to offset tight fitting areas with extra space. Then an auto-round on all edges of all bodies. I exported each body as a reference part and arranged them on my print tray. Took six only hours to print. Designed in a Creo Parametric 10

We're on Creo 4 M100 and moving to Creo 8 as part of a Windchill upgrade.  We're going thru the corporate config.pro in the loadpoint verifying options and mapkeys when this came about; !--- TURN DATUMS OFF ---mapkey df #environment;#disp dtmpln;#done-return;#view;#repaint;#done-return;!--- TURN DATUMS ON ---mapkey dn #environment;#disp dtmpln;#done-return;#view;#repaint;#done-return;!--- TURN AXES OFF ---mapkey af #environment;#disp axes;#done-return;#view;#repaint;#done-return;!--- TURN AXES ON ---mapkey an #environment;#disp axes;#done-return;#view;#repaint;#done-return; These are some very old entries which reference the old Pro/E menu manager.  Yet, for some reason, they still work.  Is the menu manager still running in the background?    

I downloaded an iges file of a vented screw. I would like to modify it to make it longer. It is currently 8mm long, and I want it to be 50 mm long. I have tried to mirror it as a way of elongating it, but the ends don't mirror correctly.  Is there a way to cut a section off? I could copy and paste the middle threads to get to my desired length.     

 When I try to create a new project in Creo schematics, I get an error reading "Specified directory in location is not empty. What is causing this error? I am using Creo Schematics version 8.0.0.0.   

Hello,I am trying to recreate this model from solidworks modelmania 2013. (https://blogs.solidworks.com/tech/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/Model-Mania-2013-Phase-1-Drawing.jpg) I thought about using the shell feature for the offset walls of value '3' circled below.I believe I would be able to do this by using the shell, exclude surface feature however I was unable to do that; and it does make sense since the surface is not extended down into the other surface.In the end I decided to use non-default thickness and it worked fine. I wanted to ask how you would approach this? As always I really appreciate all your help. Using Creo 9.0

I have a set of rollers that when I drag the assembly need to adjust the angle of the rollers. I can do it in one section of the tube, but not the whole length. How do I identify the mechanisms? I did best with a 3D contact. The parts are highlighted. Move the orange assembly, the magenta rollers adjust around the cyan tube and rollers stay on each side.  This post was an admin edit and originally posted on August 11th 2023 8:27 AM

How to merge multiple STEP files generated for let say CAB assembly in Creo using code.        

SO I'm making a project to calculate the surface areas of a sheet metal part that has a surface finish, two types "finish1" and "finish2", but I only have access to the free java object toolkit. I know I cannot use the surface finishes nor the annotations. I had an idea to attach a note of a specific type to a surface with a surface finish and then get the surface its attached to then get its area. Is this possible? I've tried GetAttachment() as it is a DetailNoteItem and doing GetParent which  returns with the part which I think isn't helpful as i none of the model items from that are surfaces. Is there another way?     //Surface Finishes private HashMap <String, Double> getFinishes(Solid solid){ double finish1 = 0; double finish2 = 0; HashMap <String, Double> finishes = new HashMap <String, Double>(); try { ModelItems modelItems = solid.ListItems(ModelItemType.ITEM_DTL_NOTE); for (int i = 0; i<modelItems.getarraysize
