Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have been trying to build the protk_install_example solution provided by PTC and facing the errors shown in the screenshots below. I am using Creo 7.0.2.0 and VS19 to build the solution.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 2.0 and DatecodeM250I'm encountering a fatal error crashing Creo. I opened a case about a month ago and tried to trouble shoot it myself with PTCs website and waited to see if it would resolve itself. But I think I need some human assistance. After more use it looks like it's only sheet metal parts, converting something to sheet metal that crashes Creo.Here are the errors that I faced-------------------------------------------------The trace creation timestamp is: Fri Sep 01 08:29:37 23The executable build timestamp is: Fri Sep 22 05:16:12 17The datecode is: 2017170The pro machine type is: x86e_win64The process ID is: 16112The traceback type is : CRASHThe logger exit status is: 00003-------------------------------------------------Exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread 16320.Main Thread 16320=====================0x00007FF7EB6642CF NULL (NULL:0) (xtop:0x00007FF7E8080000) ( 0x48b88790, 0x1a1e7470, 0x1a1e7488, 0x0 )0x00007FF7EB66

I need to create text on a surface. Simple enough, but the text needs to be like this:VERTICALI could create each letter individually, then align them and space them to make it look okay, but is there a more elegant solution? In short, is there a way to create a text string that is vertical but has the letters oriented in the "normal" way?Also, oddly enough, if you use the ISOFONT, the capital "I" is not centered on the letter. The text geometry is offset a bit to the right side. Weird.

I'm using Creo 2 M100 and recently upon startup there appears a script error message that requests a yes or a no to allow scripts. After several attempts of clicking on yes or no the message goes away but there is obviously a software glitch somewhere.How do I fix this? I'm no tech software person so would like a clear answer if anyone can let me know thanks!I am aware this has ocurred to other people on this forum but cannot understand how it was removed.  

I am using Creo Simulate Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0upon start, Creo Simulate will regenerate the model, but copied-geometry seems invisible to Simulate, causing regeneration failure.. One solution i figured out is to right-click on the copied-geometry, change 'update control' to 'manual..', which tentatively solve the problem but isn't a decent solution. Wondering if there are other solutions?

Hi,   I've got a very large .pts file (more than a billion points). When trying to import it inside Creo Parametric, it doesn't seem to recognise it. Is there a limit on how many points it can handle? Or is there a better way of doing this?   Currently, I'm using a different software to view these points. This is fine for viewing but when I try to export my design/model into it, that's when it gets annoying as I lose sketches, datums, etc. and it is very time-consuming to constraint/place my model inside the points cloud.   I'd appreciate any help on this.    Cheers!

Hi all,   I am trying to use a Decal to model the latices of a forster unico profile:   I have managed to create a transparant decal and apply it to the model, but if I resize the model, the decal needs to be resized.   Is there any way to drive the X Scale of a Decal to the size of a model with a relation?  

Hello All,I have a query related to Annotation Planes. Can we automatically set the Annotation Planes when we select COMBINATION STATE? I have 5 combination states (7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E ) with specific orientations. I also have 5 Annotation Planes(7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E ). When I have to give 3D annotation in any Combination State I always need to select the respective Annotation Plane for proper text and dimension orientation.  So I want to know if I select 7A combination state, Is there any way to set Annotation planes 7A to get selected automatically? Thank you.Best regards,Atul Ghadge.

I am using Creo Parametric Release N/A and DatecodeN/AHello,I need multi-language annotation. I saw it from youtube and blogs. But only CREO elements/direct has this option.I can't find it from CREO parametric 3.0 ~10.0I want to use annotation ENG and KOR language together.Please let me know how I can do it.Or please let me know where I can find annotation file. So I can modify it....

Well, being an Olde Timer here, I remember when "Layout/Notebook" (If I remember the proper terms) was the hot ticket method promoted by PTC.  Then they went to the "Master Model" method.  Then there's the "Skeleton" method.  I used the "Master" model technique a couple times in the early 2000's, but had some issues with it, especially with layers.  Then I switched to using Skeleton models, and while I had some issues with layers in the early 2010's, it seems to work now.  I DON'T like the fact that (at least from what I remember - that may have changed) the Skeleton doesn't always travel with the related submodels like the Master model always did.  So, I use the Skeleton method now because of the issues I had using the Master model method.   What are you guys using and why?  We're writing a spec for our group regarding modeling practices and dwgs, and we want to include top-Down design.   Grazie!

I have been trying to remove model from drawing but message I get is 'can not delete model with views using it'. I ensured to remove all views related to the model,

Hello, I am posting a question because there is a blockage while playing the toolkit.When using ProUIListSelectednamesGet among functions, the result value is stored only with the first letter of the list name.Does anyone have a solution to this problem?The details are attached as a photo.   void ListMoveButtonClicked(char* dialog, char* component, ProAppData data){char* dialogName = "test2";  // 대화 상자 이름char* listName = "In_list";      // 목록 컴포넌트 이름int nSelections;                // 선택된 항목 수char** selections = NULL;              // 선택된 항목의 이름 배열wchar_t wideStr[100]; ProError status = ProUIListSelectednamesGet(dialogName, listName, &nSelections, &selections); if (status == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR) { wchar_t* temp = ProStringToWstring(wideStr, selections[0]); for (int i = 0; i < num_files; ++i) { if (wcscmp(w_char_mdl_name[i], L"DRW0002") == 0){iMessa

I want to assign different color for each family table instance. is there a way to do this? pls suggest. 

Can I configure a Drawing repeat region (bom table) that shows parent assembly on first line followed by only first bom level components?  Recursive table shows parent at top but shows all bom levels.  Flat table shows first level bom only but does not show parent at top.  I am using Creo 9.0.2.0 

Hello I'm defining Combination States as I use them for 2D drafting views (trying to do so). E.g. Collecting all the Annotation to them which are belonging to the described product features for detailing views.For large features this works well, but for smaller features (see image) the text size jams the space.Quite quickly the model is much too small for the representation of the Combination State with all dimensions or symbols in it. I would like to know whether anybody knows an Option to make Creo automatically scaling Annotations according the computer (cad) window. So that the text always has the same size compared with the window size. With such an option I could add the 3D Annotation to very small parts, so when I zoom in (as I do in 2D with the scale for the geometry, but the text remains scaled to the drawing size). Thank's in advance for hint's.PB

Multibody – Clearance & Creepage Analysis,   Hello all and welcome to another blog post in the multibody series.   In today’s topic I would like to make you aware of the multibody setup possibilities for clearance and creepage analysis. With the introduction of bodies in Creo Parametric 7.0, we also introduced support of the COMPARATIVE_TRACKING_INDEX parameter for bodies. If you add it to individual bodies of a part, you can define and control the conductivity definition separately for different bodies within a part. The attached video shows an example on a fuse part by defining conductive ends as body with a different CTI value. Once the body level parameter values are defined, you can see the conductive highlighting including the metallic ends of the fuse and excluding the red inner body. (view in My Videos)   Thanks for reading & watching.  I hope it was informative. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo 7.0 & 8.0+ Multibody Home:

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0I'm an IT system administrator and I have a single user having an issue with the speed of loading and exporting drawings to our servers. I currently have article CS49886 up and i've investigated the files and locations mentioned in the article.1) I need to know if I just delete the whole .wf file in order to clear the cache or if there is another method.2) in the suggested technique for improving retrieval performance article I can find config.pro and the value Trail_Dir but I cannot find the value Use_tem_dire_for_isnt to alter it to yes. Please advise.  EDIT:  Thank you for your responses! I appreciate it! Clearing the .wf cache didn't seem to have any impact.Looking at the history of the ticket further what happened is that august 23rd the CREO user couldn't contact the license server even though the network remained in tact.  Ever since that point it's been slow for the user.  All other users ar

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

Is it possible to Embed the Export Version Control (Revision letter) into a STEP file from CREO 3 solid model?
