Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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?

When editing a family table cell, the cursor goes AWOL (missing) and I have remember how many left or right arrows to edit text in a cell. I am using Creo 9.0.4.0.   Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts to a solution.   Brand new systems with the specs called out for Creo 9.0.4.0.

I am trying to replicate this drawing of a solidworks model from their model mania. (https://blogs.solidworks.com/tech/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/Model-Mania-2004-Phase-1.jpg)I am having trouble recreating section B-B in my own drawing, the closest I have come to this is below.I have tried using zones and dabbled in full aligned/unfold cross sections but I am unable to figure how to do it. Help would be greatly appreciated. I am using creo parametric 9.0 student version.

Just wondering what the heck is the difference between Sketch and Skeleton features?For example, when I do Copy Geometry, I know I can copy Sketch elements from a regular Prt file, so I'm wondering why I should buy AAX and get the Skeleton feature.   

Is it possible added parameter to config.pro, which value will be switch on in drawing (exactly in format.frm)? For instance, in company without PDM users need change standard iso to others (on drawing).They using main config.pro and it couldbe good soluion that admin will change value of parameter in config.pro and finaly in all users will be changed it automaticaly.Maybe other possibility not exactly in config.pro?   

Regarding icons in CreoThis is the icon from the Creo AAX demo video.What is this icon and how do I create it???  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.3.0I have a 2d repeat region to report fam.inst.param.name as column headings and fam.inst.param.value as rows. Is it possible to write a relation or something to show a column heading as a specific text rather than fam.inst.param.name. For example, if the fam.inst.param.name begins with 058914, can I report BACKPLATE as the column heading instead of 0589140010? I want to leave some column headings as reporting fam.inst.param.name.
