Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We recently solved an on-going performance issue w/ some remote workers that was traced to a config.sup setting (trail_dir) which was dumping trail files onto a network drive.  This was a nogo suggestion from PTC dating back years.   We got to wondering if trail files are even utilized to the extent they were when hardware/software was not as mature as it is today.  I've not needed to re-run a trail file in many years so I'm wondering how it would act w/ the interactions Creo has w/ Windchill these days.   Thanks.    

Hello,I am trying to recreate this model from solidworks model mania 2006 which consists of two phases, changing your model from to the one below.Basically adding a taper and a draft. While doing this I realised my initial sketch that was extruded to the surface was not enough to handle the taper.The surface(created using a sweep) and my initial sketch below ( the sketch is a bottom up projection of the surface edges.When extruding without a taper it works perfectly. However when I add a taper of 15 degrees to it, the extrusion no longer fits to the surface as nicely as before. The fix I found for this was modifying my sketch to be taller than the projected area.This resulted in an extrusion that fit much better to the surface.I am sure I am probably messing something so I would really any tips on why the projected area extrusion doesn't work. I am using creo parametric 9.0 student version

I want to delete a part from my assembly and have the children automatically be suspended (without the confirmation window if possible) There appears to be threads from 2013 and 2017 concerning this. Has this been addressed? If so how do I apply it? I am using Creo 7 Thank You!

As per this thread.   I know this is a very old post, but I recently ran across some troubles trying to model a part that was to be wrapped in fabric and am struggling to find a robust way to make a flat pattern from the wrapped component. Creo doesn't seem to like areas that would otherwise be "folded" as you'd see with soft materials, and the relief options when trying to use sheet metal also aren't much help.   It would be great if there were a way to simulate a soft material as thickened quilt to wrap around another component. For the time being, I am modeling the part as desired for the final product, and taking measurements to manually make a "cut" pattern, With the cut pattern I am hatching an area where pleats and relief would be allowed and asking our supplier to determine how best to wrap the part.

I've got a feature for a flat pattern and in the model tree it shows two associated bend notes. Is there a way to access these notes using the J-link API to get the angles of the bends? or is there a different method to get bend quantity and bend angles for a sheet metal pattern?I've tried inputting a solid, getting the features that are from the flat pattern, getting each feature and listing the sub types and then filtering by model items of the model item type axis which gives me the bend notes I believe which I have used for the bend quantity but now I just need the angle.For Creo Parametric 9.0.4.0.The Code I've used so far is in the picture attached

Hello,to mark our parts and mainly assemblies (cylindrical) we use a projected cosmetic sketch but:For 3D renderings, it cannot be blacked outIt is projected and not rolled up (ideally).In the assembly mode, I found only by mixing with the surface but there are many functions.In part mode, I was advised the offset function but I must not have the same version of creo because not found.How do you make your marking? what solutions? I blockThanks    

Hi all, In CREO 7.0.2.0 or in CREO 8.0.5.0, we want to see the symbol name in the drawing tree.In the following pic, you can see: 1 - the Symbol2 - the symbol name3 - the drawing tree (Creo 8 version)  I think the symbol name is saved somewhere, and I think it should be possible to extract it in order to make it appear in the drawing tree. I thought it was possible to save the drawing tree as drwtreetool.txt, but I couldn't find the file. Could you help me to find the txt file, and how to view the symbol name in the drawing tree?Regards

Hi, I as some doubt in drawing sheet, with in the drawing sheet we as some symbol is there any way to read symbol and variable text name that was selected in the symbol. if it is problem send me any VB API for my Reference or Map key.Thanks in Advance.     

Hello, My problem is, we have old models (Made in Creo 2.0 or Creo 4.0) but now we moved to Creo 9.0.4.0 and we moved on to new company standards, which means a lot of new parameter, and relations.But with old models comes a problem, which is, we often can't delete parameters or make new ones which are restricted.(view in My Videos) The problem most likely comes from the old model having a different restriction table than the new one.I think the easiest way would be to make a macro to move all the features to a new template somehow but it comes with a different set of problems. Is there anyone who figured out a good way to pass this problem?

Does anyone know of a way to automatically show the Creo version (3, 4, 5, 6, 7,...) as a parameter?We implemented the values in param values list, but that is a manual step for the users to change when we go to a new version. We also have it set in our start parts as well as our Windchill templates, but that is a change we will have to do every time we go to a new version. We are trying to be in compliance to ASME Y14.47 and  14.41 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140Model Check date format issueHere are the errors that I facedIt is required to modify date format of Model Check option in Creo 4.0. User is unable to modify date format from ex. Tue Mar 20 2022 to ex. 20-03-2022. Please suggest options to update/modify date format of Model Check in Creo Parametric 4.0.

Within our company we have many smaller subdivisions that utilize Creo however they all have different config settings.  We run a customized start tool that depending on users selection loads the appropriate config settings for that OpCo.  Once in a Creo session there is no quick and easy way to see what OpCo the session was loaded with other than going to the config files in session and looking at a comment line or the Co. name.  This is time consuming for the support team and the user that could be working in various OpCo's.  Would it be possible to have a config setting that was a one line txt field which would be displayed in the top banner either just below or next to "PTC Creo Parametric"? 

Creo 4.0 080   Greetings all,   I have a section that I can place and change the angle, but "spacing" is greyed out. I looked up some stuff that people had issues with cross sections and it had something to do with view being set to no hidden. That does not solve my problem. This has got to be something dumb.   Help?   Wayne

Hello Community, I just wanted to learn more about the creo cabling process and its steps and found a video (Creo Parametric - Cabling Overview - Manual Process) from @DaveMartin on youtube. I tried to maintain its steps but when I try to implement a skeleton model from my sub assembly this option is greyed out (see attachment). Maybe he did something I didnt and thats the reason...I dont have this "placement" in my sub assembly but I dont think that this is the reason...I read that this may have to do with the software package and its function properties. I quite sure I dont use the full software package with all its functions. I use PTC Creo 9.0.4.0.  Can you help me out - is it because of the package or do I have to stay by another step before (preparation) ?  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM090Creo parametric is crashing after the installation of Automation studio software.

Hi All i want to mark an area in my sheet metal plate, were painting is forbidden. how can i do that without using cut out (extrude) function within the sheet metal design?in the picture, you can see an already marked are, unfortunately, this are solid models and have therefore no feature tree anymore to check.i want to do the second area on the counter part of this.   

Hello,I'm working on my first mechanism and I'm facing some issues.I set up all the servomotors and set a sequence for a position analysis, but all the motors move together in a while.So, I wanted to set a velocity profile but when I start the analysis I get errors and cannot perform it.I checked some videos and I guess I have to define the dynamic properties, but in the slider connection /translation the box isn't visible.I'm using Creo 9.0.5.Thanks,Giovanni   

Hello everybody, I am creating a design of wiring harness in schematics and I would like to do a flat harness drawing in creo cabling afterwards. Is there a way how to display in flat drawing version of XML file which was used for creation of 3D harness? Eg. if I export file from schematics named XMLdesign012023.xml and then import it into creo cabeling. Can I automatically in creo flat harness drawing display something which says Design based on: XMLdesign012023.xml I can write it manually, but we are more people working on the harnesses so there is a change that someone will forget and than we are not able to know what was the source and if the design from schematics is reflected in drawing or not I normally use repeat region feature to view cabling parameters at drawing, could it be done in similar way? Or maybe via parameters? Thanks everyone for answers 

Hello, I've been working with it for a long time and now I'm annoyed by creating measures for each ground spring. This is our technique of creating boundary conditions using spring to ground and we need to create a set of measures for each one of them( X Y Z reactions and amplitude of force ). Is there any possibility to automatically create any set of measures for springs? I know that all contact interfaces does this but not springs.Thanks in advance. 

Please see the image.  It is a side view of a part, with the sketch of the proposed bend. I need to bend just the end (above the sketch) so it follows the sketch (which I can do easily with a spinal bend), BUT I need to control the orientation so things that are vertical (as in this view) remain vertical when complete.Geometry with the sketch to form. Normally, with a Spinal Bend, the geometry follows the curve and makes the geometry "wrap" with the curve, meaning things that started vertical will be perpendicular to the spine (sketch shown above).  I want the vertical things to stay vertical, but the shape to "droop" to follow the curve. I don't remember for sure, but it seems like there used to be projection controls with a spinal bend to do this.  (Not AREA controls.)  I feel like I've done it in the past. This part geometry is complex enough that I can't really create it in the correct shape.  The part is quite deep (into the screen from the

Hi all,I am trying to open a .sldprt and everytime I open it, my creo just freezes.I have tried multiple different .sldprt's and all of them cause this issue.Is there anything I can do to get these to open?I never had this issue in Creo4.0 I am currently using Creo8.0  

Hello,I am trying to recreate this model from solidworks model mania 2005. (https://blogs.solidworks.com/tech/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/Model-Mania-2005-Phase-1.jpg)I am having some trouble recreating the lower part that is the blend from the oval section to the circular section without having lines.As can be seen in the drawing there seems to be no indication of where the circle section should be divided to create the blend (and no such lines appear in the solidwork model), I merely drew a centerline connecting the separation lines for the oval section and used that to divided my circle. Is there an error in my approach or is this a case in which solidworks and creo functionality differs? Here is a link to their solution video (timestamped) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKgWcBTxD5I&t=8m49s I am using creo parametric 9.0 student edition.

Hi Team,   I want to keep custom settings in Creo in such a way that whenever I create a hole in the model.The Hole location and it's depth dimensioning should have 2 decimal places by default in the drawing. Also, I want to set The angle of the hole as basic by default.Is there any possibility without affecting other things' tolerance in 2D Drawing?  The rest of the dimensioning should be per Creo default.I would appreciate any solution for the above request. Thanks so much in Advance.

In Creo 7 or higher is the following possible using BMX module?    I have a design problem where I need to make changes to the master model to modify geometry, but the goal definition needs to be defined in the derivative part as the feasibility goal is intrinsic to the derivative part geometry.   If I have a master model and a derivative part dependent on the master can a feasibility study in the derivative part use parametric items (parameters, dimensions) from the master part as variables when setting up the feasibility study?   If not, can feasibility studies between part models be linked to run automatically or would manual iteration be required?
