Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We want to use "ALT" parts (very much against my recommendations but we have to do BOM's to the specs...) and while it's easy enough to change the quantity to "ALT" or "AR" (for bulk items like sealant etc.), I'd like to actually manually change the index (EDIT:  right column listed as "ITEM") to have 2 #11's.  I'd also like to be able to keep the correct quantity for "ALT" parts since that's good information.  I've been working on it and I don't THINK it's possible, but I'm not 100% sure it can't be done.  Or if it CAN be done, can it be done without a gigantic set of relations at the table level?   Any ideas?     Thx!

In previous versions I had no problems opening Creo Parametric model files by dragging and dropping them into the graphics window from Windows File Explorer.  Now this function to open files does not work at all, not for part models and not for dragging part models into an assembly. What changed in Creo Parametric 9.0 that this function will not work??

Hi All we have several UDF defined for our daily work.in general, they are all similar build, the first "feature" is a csys on which a cut out is placed.the csys was mandatory to make the feature (cut out) flexible. now we are facing a small problem with that. if we create a sketch with point, we are not able to place the udf on one point during creating a pattern. is there any possibility to do that? actually the question is, is it possible to place csys on a point? br 

I am using Creo Parametric 6.0.3.0I have data file type .STP, the size about 1000 MB when I open by Creo Parametric, there are warning box show Creo is not responding. Do you have solution for open the large file or extract file(Assembly paty) to small size (sub part) ? Anyone who have experience about this issue, kindly guide me.  

Hi   We are going more and more into direction of MBD. But still we need the 2D Drawing. On thing we are searching for to improve our design/modelling process is, how can I apply in 3D modelling a saved orientation to a combination state such that any annotation appears according the saved orientation definition as soon as it is added to the combined state? So far, we need to select all the annotations from a combination state and apply the saved orientation to them.   In addition, we are looking for settings, which forces creo to take-over the saved orientation if I apply the combination state in a 2D view.   Does anybody have a solution or a hint for these questions?   PB    

I tried to use Creo 10 today, and got a license failure. I eventually found that I need to download a new license file from the license manager website, even though my hostid did not change (because PTC has upgraded my license to "10 and below" on the server side for me transparently). Got the new file and installed it. Then I found the following message in my license server:10:06:00 (ptc_d) Request denied: Client: XXX (11.19) newer than Vendor Daemon (11.17). (Version of vendor daemon is too old. (-83,21049)) The license manger installation doc is here:  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/refdoc/creo_parametric/compatibility/ptc_lms_download It has links to all the various versions, be careful to get the one you need, don't get confused like I did. 😞     

I has build a synchronouse java app,and rigisterd as a task named "task01".when I start a new  asynchronous java app and StartJLinkApplication which build before, and run ExecuteTask "task01",creo crashed!! 

jlinkAsync： I used pfcAsyncConnection.AsyncConnection_Start to start a app and get the connection. Console shows Port number is not provided.RemoteConnectionStarter finished and destroyed。When I use connection.AddActionListener ((AsyncActionListener)this) ,  throws exception:Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: getCipTypeName..who can help this，thanks！   

In Creo Parametric 8.0, in a Sheetmetal Part, the Mirrored Features collector is missing when editing a mirror feature. If I go to a part file, it is there. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong or why it is this way? See attached PDF for screen captures. Thanks,New Creo User.    

Good afternoon, the part axes and planes are hidden by default when added to an assembly, and I can't find a way to unhide them.  Is there a setting in the configuration that could be the cause?  I am using CREO Parametric 8.0.5.0.   Thank you!

This is a compound curve NO way to trace over it. I need to use it to extrude out form this face. How do i turn a referenced line from reference into solid creo can use? In inventor this is VERY simple you just click and turn it from reference to actual line. CREO can turn normal lines back and forth like this but it cant seem to to the same for a reference line??

This SHOULD be very simple.It IS very simple in every other package I have used. I just want a dimension in a drawing to SNAP to the END of the line for line 1 and END of the line for line 2, not the middle, not any other random point it feels like choosing but the END of the line under my mouse.Simple right?I have tried putting in sketched lines to lock in a point for it to use but you cant dimension a sketched line while its near a model line???It is crazy this is not easier to do. I can snap lines to the points i am trying to dimension but i CANT dimension them????There is no way to move the attachment point after the dimension is created.There is no way to restrict the attachment point to END OF LINE as its being created. Yes i am frustrated, being forced to use CREO for Uni ... waste of time imo but here I am.  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150Having strange issues with one client laptop running Creo Parametric 4.0 M150 with Windchill PDMLINK 12.0. The issues seems to be intermittent. I have tried everything even uninstall and reinstall but the issue continues on this one laptop?I ran the diagnostic tool referenced below. I'm scratching my head on this one PLUS no support from PTC as they stopped tech. support on Creo Parametric 4.0 2 years ago. Our upgrade to Creo 8, 9, or 10 is not scheduled until 2024, YIKES!Any insight would be very much appreciated!Cheers,KeithAdvance Instrustion set 8Manufacturer Dell Inc.Platform Type x86e_win64System Precision 3571Processor Manufacturer GenuineIntelCPU Number Of Cores 14Speed MHz 2400L2 Cache KB 4096RAM MB 32768.003GB Switch trueSWAP GB 4.75DISK Label C:Size GB 953.21Available GB 658.52FileSystem Type NTFSGraphics InformationName NVIDIA RTX A1000 Laptop GPUVendor NVIDIAVersion 31.0.15.2667Graphics InformationName Intel(R) UHD Gra

I'm using Creo 3 to create a drawing for an injection molded part. Some edges that have draft on them show as hidden lines when they should be solid. Arris line on the corner is displayed correctly as solid. Area where text and arrows in image below is open without any features.  Anyone ever encounter this issue?     

I am trying to automate the model generation of an assembly using Creo Programming (version 8.0.5.0). I am able to get to the point where I can read a file with all the inputs and generate the model. But after reading the file, I have to regenerate the model several times (almost 6 to 8 times) to completely get the final assembly. I want to automate the regeneration process as well. I am pretty new to Creo programming and I wanted to know if it is at all possible to write something in the code which can auto-regenerate the model for me and will give me the final assembly right after importing the file. Thanks for your time in advance.              

HiHow would I go about in creating section C-C in Creo 9.0 I tried creating a zone and although that does give me the 3d view it does not give me an option to show the section lines.  

Hi all, I'm using Creo Parametric 9.0.0.0 (Student Edition). I've never had any issues with tthis program before but now, whenever I hover over a plane when creating a new part, assembly, etc., The whole program freezes up and stops responding for minutes at a time. Checking task manager, it was using no more resources than normal but still froze. I tried restarting my computer which didn't help. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone know any fixes? Thank you.     

Hello,I'm using Creo Schematics version 7.0 and Windchill version 12.0.2.8.I want windchill to automatically update the sheet's revision and version. Please let me know if there is a method to have auto sync through Windchill since I'm currently entering both manually.    Thanks.    

Hi,does anyone have any idea how the config.pro "open_builder_in_mt_mode " option works?In the guide i find this indication:"Open the variant builder in Model Tree Selection mode" but I can't figure out what it does.By default it is set to "no".Can anyone tell me what it does and if you use it?Thank youP.S. i'm using creo 9.0.2.0

Hello, When I'm writing balloon note with a multi-lines it makes them as a separate balloons aligned Horizontally. Is there any method to make them aligned Vertically like this in one note like the previous one   

I am trying to add a centerline to a part that I am making a drawing of.The center line is easy enough to sketch... but oh no CREO doesnt actually "attach" the sketched line to the part / model.This means if in ANY way the model changes the view might move around but the sketched line wont which creates ANY dimensions using that line now completely wrong.How can I constrain the sketched centerline TO the part so if the part changes size / moves / Any change is actually reflected in the drawing??Its basically pointless having the centerline not attached so no idea why it isnt by default. Its like CREO is literally from the 1960's with its drafting functionality.  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0Help needed using the cabling reroute feature and route type. Have wires (cable) that I want to change the route type and also want the reroute others. The PTC help instructions are woefully inadequate to follow. I really prefer to speak to someone or a good video for these operations.

creo drawing ver 3.0my client has a symbol defined that is a triangle (lay it down sideways so it points to the left) with a number imbedded.  It is used to identify a note that applies to the view feature.   The symbol is used with blank for number and placed over the notes.  When a pdf export is performed, the symbol has shifted location.attached are screen shots of creo drawing and pdf export.So far I have attempted entering blank spaces for the variable text and "  ." (space space dot) and it does not seem to effect position.
