Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello All I am trying find the best way of modeling parts, that are metal injection moulded and then milled, drilled and tapped.We need a file for the raw moulded part and one for the machined part. If something is changed in the raw part, the machined version should be able to be updated. What is the best way of implementing this. Shall we use copy geometry, family tables or Simplified reps? Thanks for your help! Best wishes Alex

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and Datecode M140Dear Creo community,I am having issues with the Creo Parametric Excel analysis feature not staying associated with the Excel spreadsheet. It will allow me to open the spreadsheet, associate cells with dimensions and parameters, and close the spreadsheet. However, when I reopen the excel analysis feature in my feature tree, all of the information about the spreadsheet and associated dimensions are gone. Why does the link between Creo and Excel get lost? How can I prevent this?Best regards,Gordy

Hi everybody Create a Section without the option "Include quilts" by default is annoying  so, a mapkey will help: mapkey iq @MAPKEY_LABELinclude quilts;~ Command `ProCmdXsecPlanar` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `chkbn.xsec_models_page.0` 1;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `xsec_models_page.0.0` `PH.xsec_inc_qlt_btn` 1;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `chkbn.xsec_placement_page.0` 1;\mapkey(continued) ~ Trigger `xsec_placement_page.0.0` `PH.xsec_plane_coll_rep` `0`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Trigger `xsec_placement_page.0.0` `PH.xsec_plane_coll_rep` ``;

HiI've routed a cable between 3 connectors; the shared section of the cable splits part-way and i've routed some of the conductors to a one connector, and some of the conductors to another connector.The two sets of conductors were exposed after the break, so i bundled them with a sheath. The result is as the images shows; the bundles are unaligned, which i'd like to remedy.I've tried using Bundles>Align Bundles, and selected one, two or three of these points and selecting 'align' and then regenerating; nothing seems to affect the alignment. Any tips on how to get past this? Best regardsA   

I would like to be able to offset a curve enclosure inside of a sketch and observe the change's relation to the geometry outside of the sketch. Is there any way inside of a sketch to use the offset option and have the offset recognized as a offset instead of the resulting geometric features created from the offset? Below is my simple sketch prior to the offset.Below is the application of the offset.  Notice that the offset is recognized as 2 weak radii shown in light blue.  This applies as it should.The problem is that if I modify any of the strong dimensions the needed offset is no longer uniform.  (Below I modified the angle value).Perhaps in this specific example it would be possible to modify the constraints to get the needed offset with the change, but in a more complicated sketch I would like the option to have my offset features retained as a offset as I have intentions of having this update appropriately with the downstream extrude within a family table

Good morning everyone,I'm using Creo 10 and from the "Tools" ribbon menu I start my c# application.We can do everything but in the "Model" menu a lot of function are disabled especially "Parameters". I don't understand why this happen when we start our application and from that application we are able to delete all the custom "Parameters". When we close our app I thought the menu will be active again but this doesn't happen and if I do a right click in the assembly I have the icon for "Activate" it. I tried these option:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS288287?_gl=1*1b9p919*_ga*MTIyMzg5NjExOS4xNjg2MTI0MTUx*_ga_1QBT6P6HR1*MTY4NzUwNDM2My4xMS4xLjE2ODc1MDU1NzguMC4wLjA. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/Get-the-model-handle-for-the-activate-component-in-the-current/td-p/387940 ProAsmcompConstrRedefUI()  - https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/activate-sub-assembly-using-toolkit/m-p/570117/highlight/true#M7653 But nothing is working.

HI all.When flipping the arrows on a dimension the leader line remains between the arrows - see attachment.Any idea what the setting is to remove this? Thanks

I want to switch the language from English to German.  I added the line in the .psf file for german, but it has no effect.       

1.use otk java to define element,and how to do use it,please give some demo 2.for exemple  Elements elements = Elements.create(); //PRO_E_FEATURE_TREE Element elem_0_0 = wfcElementTree.Element_Create(wfcElemIds.PRO_E_FEATURE_TREE, null, 0); elements.append(elem_0_0); //PRO_E_FEATURE_FORM Element elem_1_2 = wfcElementTree.Element_Create(wfcElemIds.PRO_E_FEATURE_FORM, pfcArgument.CreateIntArgValue(1), 1); elements.append(elem_1_2); //PRO_E_EXT_SURF_CUT_SOLID_TYPE Element elem_1_4 = wfcElementTree.Element_Create(wfcElemIds.PRO_E_EXT_SURF_CUT_SOLID_TYPE, pfcArgument.CreateIntArgValue(917), 1); elements.append(elem_1_4); //PRO_E_STD_EXT_DEPTH Element elem_1_6 = wfcElementTree.Element_Create(wfcElemIds.PRO_E_STD_EXT_DEPTH, null, 1); elements.append(elem_1_6); //PRO_E_EXT_DEPTH_FROM Element elem_2_0 = wfcElementTree.Element_Create(wfcElemIds.PRO_E_EXT_DEPTH_FROM, null, 2); elements.append(elem_2_0); //PRO_E_EXT_DEPTH_FROM_TYPE Element elem_3_0 = wfcElementTree.Element_Create(wfcElemIds.P

I have created a pipe in part modeling using Offset Coordinate System Datum Point and want to bring points to the drawing table. Are there any solutions to read points coordinate (x,y,z) in a way when they are modified in the part, the drawing update table automatically similar to what happens to the dimensions?   

I am trying to batch convert drw to pdf. I have set the pro_lang=English as suggested by some threads. I have created a config.pro with search paths pointing to the parts of which drawings are to be converted to pdf. However, when I run distributed batch it does not runs, instead it gets stucked at "Unsubmitted" stage. The status colors are all yellow. Even if I stop the process it does not stops, rather I have to force close. I have reconfigured the creo to use creo distributed batch. Tried even from ptcdbatch.bat file. But of no use. Please help me as I need to batch convert more than 300 drawings and would take ages to do that.

I would like to know that what's different templates as below; mmns_part_solid_absmmns_part_solid_rel solid_part_mmks_abs. Please help me to clearly understand these templates.     

Hello all, This seems simple enough and I'm fairly certain I was able to do it back in Wildfire 4 but I could be wrong. In the image below, I want to move the ,03 outside the part (as indicated by the red arrow) by lengthening the horizontal portion of the leader. I found the setting "leader_elbow_length" but there's no "variable" option. Thanks,

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0The threads of a hole feature do not show in the drawing. This is not a cosmetic thread. The various threads will only be visible in section view. The face where a hole is located will appear to have a simple drilled hole with no thread.

Hello, I have a problem with the design of a tool. For machining a part i use a sawblade with a sawblade holder.https://www.haimer.biz/products/tool-holders/accessories/sawblade-holder/sawblade-holder.html When i design the tool in creo NC with a sketch, it takes as cutting reference the lower point of the tool.When i use the tool in my trajectory path, this is this point whirch is follow the trajectory.Even if i modify the sketch with construction segments...Is there a solution to define the cutting edges of the tool ? Thanks in advance

I am looking to streamline a workflow for transformation of surfaces using two CSYS features to move and reorient a quilt. Doing it manually using the transform options in the Warp tool or the Legacy surface move command is quite tedious and requires calculating linear transforms using the two bases.   My best workaround is to export the quilt relative to one CSYS and then import it back into the model using the desired CSYS as the origin, not ideal since it lacks associativity. Is anyone aware of a method supporting a single transform operation to move and reorient a quilt/surface from one orthonormal basis (Csys) to a new one? I can keep it all within Creo without the export but it requires doing the matrix algebra for rotational transforms outside of Creo, which is slow and tedious to do it manually. Getting the new origin can be obtained by using a measure of the transform between the two csys but the rotational info is not explicit in that measure.   ObjectiveTransformed

The "collapse" tool is useful for generating static geometry from parametric features.  Often, I copy the surfaces of a sub-component and then collapse the copy feature so that I can be free to move the resulting independent geometry feature "up the model tree" and use it as a visual reference.   (screenshot above is from assembly mode)   Thing is, sometimes this tool is not available (it is grayed out).   I am not sure about what are the conditions for its availability. I think it depends on whether the model is used in another assembly (that is in session) and also seems affected by presence of family table instances / models made "flexible".    Does anyone have similar experience?  I'm still on Creo4, BTW.

How would I shorten the text displayed for a parameter in a note. For our system, our File Names are stored as: for example: XYY4512999-1_x_TM_CP. And this is what is displayed when I use the parameter &model_name on a multi-sheet drawing, which defines the components of an assembly. However, all I really want to display is XYY4512999-1 (everything up until the first underscore). Is there a switch or modifier I can apply along with the parameter callout which will cause the note to only display the text up until the underscore character?   

I've just installed Creo 7 & everything went OK, the issue I have is when I attempt to create a new part or open an existing Creo 6 part I get a traceback error then it crashes.  My software supplier has said it's due to my hardware not being supported by PTC.  What spec of machine should I be looking at to get it to run or do I wait to see if it will be supported. It runs Creo 6 without any problems.

To have a chance to see drawing ".drw" object is checked out when it is opened in Creo Parametric. - I can see that CAD model is checked out in "model tree", I can see the .drw object is modified, but I am not able to see anywhere in Creo paramteric window, that .drw object is checked out. Do you have any idea, how to display it in drawing tree?       

Hello, In my Creo schematic file i used a label with Rounded Box type. But during export to PDF i could not get the label text with "Rounded Box". Please suggest me a solution.    

When trying to apply draft on surface styled parts, or can say class A surfaces, Creo is not allowing to apply drafts. What could be the reason. Here I am considering plastic parts which have a wall thickness.I think, drafts can only be applied on surfaces which have 90 deg relationship to the reference plane or surface which we are considering the parting line.
