Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.5.0I have a user who is being exited out of the system when working on creating annotations to a 2D print. Specifically trying to add annotations such as notes. Issue started today and has happened on multiple parts.

Hello everybody, is there a possibility to adjust/manipulate 2D-Geometry (without 3D Model context) in the drawing with additional annotations. Currently I have to re-create the geometry to adjust dimensions. Best regardsChristian        

When creating a toolkit, you need a list of drawing files connected to the model.Is there a toolkit function that can implement such a function?Or I'd appreciate it if you could recommend a similar function.Thank you.

I'm using Creo 7 I've been trying to somehow combine the mechanisms feature with simp reps. Currently, I have multiple instances of a sub assembly in my top level assembly. The multiple instances are to show different stages of my machine. Each instance is shown in a different state (example cylider up/cylinder down / slide up/ slide down.  In the Solidworks world, I would just have multiple configurations and if I click on one it then shows me what I want to see. Is there a Creo Equivelant to this? The mechanisms feature sort of worked, except I had to drag all the components, then if I wanted to shown and hide items I then first had to exit mechanisms/hide/go back to mechanisms. Example SituationConfig 1) Cylinder up / gate open (I dont need to show it moving, just show it up and in postion with the ability to edit the view (hide/show) Config 2) Cylinder down/ gate close (same as the last item) Config 3) Cylinder down/ gate close/ cylinder 2 up&nbsp

I'm working w/ Creo 4.0 M150 thru a remote site VPN connection.  Models are coming out of Windchill.  Every 60 minutes, almost w/o fail,  there is a lag in the rotation of models on the screen. The only way to recover is to restart Creo.  However, from some testing, I've found that if I disconnect the network line or turn off wifi (if I'm using it), the lag will immediately disappear and everything is back to normal.  Reconnect the network and the lags reappears.  This issue does not appear when I'm at my desk, off the VPN. I've tried working w/ an offline connection to Windchill and that does not help.  I can't see any process going rogue and the network doesn't seem to be saturated either.   I've updated Nvidia drivers and all updates have been applied to this Dell 7760 laptop running Windows 10.  It's quite frustrating.  I know we are woefully out of date w/ our Creo install so any help appreciated. Thanks.

When open the model from the "Working Directory" (File -> Open), unable to see/add the properties/parameter column in the UI.But for the "Manikin Library" we can see different properties/parameters columns in "File open" dialog box. Please find attached snapshot.

How does bonded interface in Creo simulate works like? Does it work similar to weld? Or it works as a contact? Or it will just not let the components penetrate into each other?

Apologies, this is more of a gripe than anything else. I've worked at a lot of places and there's some common things I always notice. Most companies don't use Creo Cabling and UDFs (User Defined Features), and for good reason. I've spent the past couple days trying to learn how to use UDF's but the only thing I've learned is that Creo makes it way too complicated to use. The upfront work to create and use UDFs aren't worth it. The user interface for that command is not intuitive and the process of selecting references are absurdly confusing. I'll stick with creating sketches and saving them to a library folder to use later.    -CR

I am attempting to run a rather simple finite element analysis on a stainless steel rod with a moment (0.1 Nm) applied on one end and a fixed constraint on the other end. The displacement result is not what I had expected and I do not believe it to be realistic (please reference the images). The end of the rod that has an applied moment expands radially. I am attempting to replicate a benchtop test and I know that the rod does not expand radially, instead, it simply rotates and the other end deforms. Am I missing a constraint somewhere? Should I be opting for a nonlinear analysis with large deformations?  Software: Creo 8.0 P.S.: I am much more familiar with ANSYS and am a new Simulate user so any help will be greatly appreciated. 

HI!        This is the sample BOM that i have created with repeat region and between this 2 rows and between every row in table i want to add blank row , so is this possible in auto generated BOM ? 

I received the below error message while adding an isometric view to a drawing in Creo 7. The drawing opens fine to the last save point, but crashes whenever any change is implemented and subsequently terminates the program. Has anyone experienced this issue and found a resolution in the past? The traceback log is attached.    

Hello, everyone. For Creo 8, I am setting a repeat region to generate a BOM for my top level assemblies. Some of my concerns are: We have parts/sub-assemblies created in mm and in. We need to know the units used for length for each: parts and assemblies.For the parts that have already a mass value calculated, we need to know the mass units: kg or lbs. I have tried what is shown in this post but it didn't work. I have already done: Activated "units sensitive" option in relations manager.Created a totally new parameter that is related mass=pro_mp_mass to be units sensitive.Called for unit according to the post (link above), using &asm.mbr... and &mbr...; same result: nothing works. Any help will be very appreciated.Regards.   

I remember that in my last company the dimensions just showed, in drawings obviously, with the command "Show Model Annotation", had a different colour between the others, and they changed colour when I repinted the screen by becoming as the others. This thing has been useful because it allows to identify immediatly the last dimensions you've putted on the drawing and you can easily move/adjust by making more comprensible the drawing.Now, evidently, on my system it doesn't work. Can you help me?Thanks 

Hi,proMDlsave returns PRO_TK_general_error. and the model is not saving into workspace. But we can save it manually into the workspace and its worked. May I know why and what we can do to overcome this issue?   

Every time I enter into the simulate the regeneration taking too long time. Is there any technique to reduce regeneration time or can we pause it?

Hello,    I created gyroid and diamond structure in Creo by Engineering -> lattice -> formula driven. Then I exported this to STL file and printed it... But now I need to do some analysys in Ansys... so I need igs format (because Ansys do not support STL to do analyses). Is the way how to convert structure from STL (or prt, where I creted this structure) to iges format ? Or how to solve this problem ? How to do analyses of minimal surfaces strucutre if I can not create solid model from them ?   Thank you for your answer and sorry for my english.  Have a nice day to all of you

We have a particular need for the Piping Symbols formerly available within what was once known as the "Pro/ENGINEER Piping & Heating Library".  For a while, these various Libraries were available for Download under the Wildfire 2.0 heading, I believe. PTC has apparently stopped providing these libraries.  Does anyone still have these, or know where we might find these hosted somewhere? Thanks. 

Can you create a plane from the screen view? or possibly create a plane from a custom orientation view?  

Think it is the same as old thread https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Find-set-datum-tag-creo-4/td-p/657064bug ? https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS304721 I'm in CREO 7.0.3.0Also Windchill 11.1 m020 Get Duplicate Label warning about datum symbols that have been deleted.Can DRW file be cleansed of all deleted datum symbols to not get duplicate label warning?How it happens: I save a copy of a model I want to make a similar part of/different version. The model and drw are saved to the new file. As is there are 2 datum feature symbols(A and B) made in the 2D drawing attached to dimension leaders. I edit the geometry of the model and that ends up deleting the dimension the datum feature symbols were attached to so the symbol is as deleted and not longer in the DRW tree when returning to the DRW. Now when I try to place the datum feature symbols A and B are still consumed somehow and I get "duplicate label". I can find no way to clean the old datum

Hi All, We were able to extract the X , Y and Z from the OVERALL_SIZE parameter values using relations. However, the extracted parameters are String Type, but we need them as Real Number data Type. Please could you suggest on how to extract the X , Y and Z Parameters as Real Number Type. Thanks
