Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello , How and how do I access the CREO + panel to manage licenses, etc.  

PTC is pleased to announce the all-new Creo Community Challenge, a recurring event where we’ll post an open-ended challenge for you to solve using PTC's Creo. Feel free to collaborate with other users and their worksheets by attaching your worksheet to your posts here. Participants will also earn PTC Community Badges! About every six weeks, we’ll post a new thread with the challenge on one of the Creo community boards. You can post in that thread throughout the period with contributions. Around the middle of the next month, PTC and our affiliates will go through the contributions and create a resolution in the form of a ptc.com blog article discussing your interesting approaches to the problem. Then, we’ll post a new challenge at the start of the next month. Challenge #6 is live as of April 29th. Submissions will close on Friday, June 7th. Try out the Logo Design Challenge! Some rules and guidelines:Your contributions will be monitored by PTC and PTC-affiliated

I need to convert some files in solidworks 2D with .slddrw extensions to CREO. Is there any PTC program that can do this file conversion? Let's migrate everything to CREO now, I wanted a way to take everything solidworks to CREO  

When I load a Direct Modeling part out of windchill anything ist ok regarding colors - same as in native direct modeling When I load an assembly out of windchill the colors of the included parts are gone/lost - I see only standard grey parts.  How can I bring creo to show the songle part colors of these imported assemblies?  Assembly nativ Direct Modeling Same Assembly loaded via Windchill into Creo  

Does anyone know the reason why the centerline and coordinate system is greyed out in Creo Parametric 7.0?I'm still relatively new to Creo parametric, but creo does not let me use the centerline when I extrude a surface.As seen here the options are greyed out.I've even tried starting a new file but this issue still occurred. I've even tried reinstalling Creo but the problem remained. I've tried looking online for solutions but couldn't find any can anyone please help this is time sensitive since I need to finish this for a school project and I have no one to approach in school to fix this issue. 

Hi, Unable to create a repeat region bend table for the piping assembly. Refer attached snap for the repeat region syntax.  Please support.    

How to import surface model and repair to Solid by IDD

I am trying to create a 3d "shelled" object by blending the outer edges together to form the shape and then blending the inner edges to remove material.I am trying to create a blend using the references below however it fails to generate.Using the same references boundary blend seems to work just fine, I am not sure why this is so.I tried using a circle to circle blend and it worked fine and the wavy to wavy blend worked fine as well. I have no idea what the problem here is. By the way would this be called a shelled object or hollowed object or what would be the appropriate term?I am using creo parametric 9.0 student version

I have been running into this issue where when I select a point at the end of a line while doing a 3 point arc it does the following behaviour. It should be a pretty easy fix however I have no idea how to prevent it.I am using creo parametric 9.0 

I don't know why the current shape is not Generaitve Designe.I'm trying to model by setting the Design Criteria to the safety factor, but it often fails. modeling before creation creation output The message displayed in Trouble Shooter is as follows.1. Simulation solver did not converge.Check one of the next options to resolve the issue:-Unconstrained rigid body motions.-Radically different material properties between bodies.2. The optimization did not converge within the maximum number of iterations.Try to raise iterations number or decrease element size in Study settings. So I modified the related contents and tried modeling again, but almost the same problem occurs.Turns out there are other issues... Does anyone know why the setting is wrong or not, or how to do Generative Design using Safe Factor properly???I would appreciate it if a GTO expert would answer.For reference, if you would like to model, please leave an e-mail. 

Hi,Coming from Solidworks to CREO I am hoping the following is possible, I cannot seem to find in the measure tool a means to measure perimter area. Screen shot example of what I'm trying to calculate:  It is not possible to select area on perimteter, is this possible in CREO? 

Hello, I would like to know what protoolkit function is needed to obtain the name of the dimension as it appears in the tree, "TEST_DIM_TAG" in this case. Calls to ProModelitemNameGet & ProDimensionSymbolGet both return "d0" Thank you in advance.

Since I updated to Creo 8.0.4.0, every time I work in an assembly, Creo version 8.0.4.0 consistently freezes. The rest of my computer works just fine while it freezes. I tried lowering the graphics by including "-g:win32_gdi" to the existing target path but then I can't see existing parts in an assembly when trying to create a new part in it. I also assume that my computer meets the necessary requirements to operate Creo since I didn't run into this issue prior to updating to 8.0.4.0. I am curious if there is a work around so that I can keep from crashing and still see all parts within an assembly. Any assistance on a path forward is greatly appreciated. Thanks  

As you know, when we open a CAD file in Creo, we have the option to preview the file in a separate window. This window shows the File type menu, file name details and preview. I'm wondering if it's possible to display the attribute details on the same window as the preview. This would make it easier to see the attribute details without having to switch windows. Example: File open… Browse Manikin Library ..  No need to openOn a second preview window, it shows few attribute details along with the assembly's name.It displays Gender, Country and percentile I would appreciate any help you can provide with this.   

I'm somewhat new to creo and am using the student version. Me and some friends are working on a project and I've been sent parts and was asked to find the creo version that they were made on. I can't seem to figure out how to do this.    

I have a generic model with hole feature and has some instances. In one of the instance the feature is set to NO while others have set to Yes. The distance from edge to the centre of hole is added as feature in generic and is part of the family table. Now for the instance where the hole is not there the dimension is displayed from the generic model.. If the dimension for the particular instance is not available then it should be set to dash or left blank . How to solve the issue? 

How to define amount of points on the beam so i can plot better graphs.All my attempts failed because i have only 5 points on beam and don't know how to increase the amount of points with which creo works. I was using graphing tool from simulate results and it didn't allow me to create or interpolate thru existing points. (better way to do it woulde be to create actual points in mesh with which creo will calculate actual simulation)But how to do it? 

When you install and run Creo 9.0.5, the Creo window appears briefly and then immediately forces the shutdown. The 10 and 3 versions run well, but only Creo 9.0 versions get this error. I don't know what kind of error it is. Running with administrator privileges in 9.0.5 will cause it to run. The license type is Floating.It doesn't give any error message and it just closes immediately.  

Hi1. We develop Design Optimization Software product called as modeFRONTIER,where the product  used by Aerospace Design Optimation and Automobile Design Optimization, Currently working as Jr.Software Engineering  2. We use Creo Parametric of  10.0.0.0 version3. To regenerate the model we are using Creo Solid::Regenerate API.Complex model requires regeneration status for  multiples Regeneration in order to get the regeneration status of the model,and creo doesnot provide any information about Regenaration Status(whether model is Success/failure) of the model. We use below three lines of Code for RegenerationRegenInstructions instr = pfcSolid.RegenInstructions_Create(Boolean.FALSE, null, null);instr.SetForceRegen(true);((Solid) model).Regenerate(instr);We found  that  ProSolidRegenerationstatusGet(). is Pro/toolkit  which is a C Customization tool.However we need OTK java toolkit to determine regeneration Status(wheteher Success/failure o

I am trying to simulate a fluid using to cool a component. Simulate Live fluid analysis reports a constant temperature. Just to try to get any kind of response I applied a 20kw heat load over an area in an internal flow and I can't get the temperature of the fluid to rise at all.   Is Live fluid sim capable of telling you the temp of a solid surface by simulating convection cooling?   I'm using Creo 7

In Creo 8.0 part mode, when attempting to go into a dimension to add a tolerance, the entire tolerance section is grayed out.  Is there a setting that needs to be changed to enable it?  Did not have this issue occur in Creo 6.0.  

Does anyone know why creo hangs when I'm using  full asynchronous mode example (Creo Object Toolkit C++)? I choose to start creo with graphic-display in full asynchronous mode.I have tried different solution like check the PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE Path.But I'm not sure if the PRO_DIRECTORY is in Common_Files location.Hope somebody help me with this dilemma.Thank you very much! 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150I am trying to create a schematic sketch using the external merge feature, and it is appearing purple for some reason. I have other external merge sketches that are the normal blue color, and I can't find a setting to modify this. Please advise how to change this.

Have any organizations come up with a unified "Technical Data Package" that Following guidance from 14.41, 14.47 and MIL-STD31000B ?   It would be interesting to see how companies are formulating their data packages to use both internal to your org and externally, and what data comes from ERP, PLM, and CAD (And how you handle propagating notes from CAD to PLM)     EDIT: I am not looking for an answer necessarily, more of a discussion
