Creo+ and Creo Parametric

The drawing must be exported as a PDF. We have phanthom and hidden lines in the drawing.If I set the Pen 3 pattern . it will only accept one Line style.(pen 3 thickness 0.010 cm; pattern 0.1 0.05 0.025 0.05 cm)How could different line styles be used? Hidden line and Phanthom line both use Pen 3.Please assist me in solving this problem.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeF000When I create a drawing, the lines that should not be visible behind the thin parts are displayed. The leader line of drw0001.drw.1 is a line that is not originally displayed.

Hello,Has anyone ever ran into an issue with not being able to snap objects to snaplines in your drawing?I've got a case where some of my notes and balloons will snap and others don't. Perhaps it's a glitch or bug. I attached a screenshot for clarity. -Cory    

Why is it that the inch hole chart doesn't show the medium fit even when I populate it? I've been trying to modify the OOTB hole tables because they do not match ASME B18.2.8. This standard includes close, normal, and loose fit.  Which I figured could correspond to Close, Medium, and Free.  However after populating the medium fit portion of table it doesn't show up in the drop down menu.  For ISO it does.  I've been doing some searching and found a post discussing this issue and it seems that creo doesn't allow a medium fit for "inch" holes.  I've tried working around this, but to no success. Anyone overcome this issue?  

Hi all,Is there a way to show how decimal places are displayed on 2D drawings?I have the config currently set at 0 places but if the dimension is for example 21.5 i would like it to display as 21.5 and not round up to 22.I know I can manually change the dimension it to 1 decimal place but is there a way it will auto do it? Thanks

Hello, I'm trying toolkit for the first time.I'm learning by referring to related documents, but I'm struggling because I don't know how to configure them.I tried the code below briefly, but it doesn't work.Can you tell me what I did wrong?Thank you. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////#include <stdio.h>#include <ProToolkit.h>#include <ProMenu.h>#include <ProMdl.h>#include <ProObjects.h>#include <ProMenuBar.h>#include <toolkitapi.h>int main(void) {ProError status;ProMdl current_model;ProName model_name;status = ProMdlCurrentGet(&current_model);status = ProMdlNameGet(current_model, model_name);printf("current model name : %ls\n", model_name); return 0;}      

Hi All,I am trying to export a CREO Drawing File into DWG format to open in AutoCAD. I have found an issue with the configuration option: intf2d_out_acad_mtext (Export multi-line note a MTEXT) For dimensions with values that are placed outside of the dimension range, the leader line ends aligned with the value & text. See attached "Example_From_CREO", the DWG export should reflect this visual. However, upon exporting to .DWG, to result is an extended leader line (like a tail), beyond the value and text. See attached "Example 1" and "Example 2".  I've noticed that changing the configuration option of "Export multi-line note as MTEXT seems to fix this issue, but in turn all other notes on the drawing are treated as single line text, when they should be MTEXT.So it appears that the export process is treating dimension lines like notes. Is there a way to configure dimension text such that it is treated differently to notes?  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.0.0Cannot obtain a constant radius round at the edge created by intersection of two swept bodies. I want to create a constant radius round for 200 mm whereas creo is allowing only to fillet with variable radius ranging from 60 mm to 200 mm. Is there any way to obtain a constant radius round?Round Settings 1:Mode - Set modeRadius 1 - 60 mmRadius 2 - 200 mmAttachment - SolidRound Settings 1 leads to successful development whereas the actual required round is to be of constant radius 200 mmHere are the errors that I facedFeature failed to regenerate.

I wanted to get the fields opinion here on this issue. We all are faced with numerous and ever changing marking requirements that must appear on our drawings. We can utilize formats to lock in default markings. I am sure many of you have moved away from hard marking (dumb text on drawings) to attribute based markings where we can flow down values from Windchill or CAD model.    Let's take export control. In U.S., there are 3 buckets; ITAR, EAR or EAR99. DODI 5230.24 directs to place what I like to call the go to jail text. I am sure many of you have something like this on your drawings today. What I am looking to do is key off an attribute that indicates if the items are ITAR, EAR or EAR99 and either show this block or not. I have seen that rule based layers could be used to turn this on or off. However, I believe this would require the use of drawing templates.  I do not believe this could be passed via formats but if so, open to that idea. The other option I have cons

Hi All when i create a simplified rep within an assembly, i can use this one on a drawing view.problem there is, that when i hide something in the assembly, the simplified rep is updated automatically and the views on the drawings too.is there a possibility to stop this behavior? BR  

Hi,Would an advance license be required to use Define increment by relation for a feature in a pattern?Currently unable to check the box for Define increment by relation.Would like to change the length of the feature starting after idx1 is greater than 3. 

Simplest example - start new manufacturing ASM, select user-defined work center, go to edit machine, select tool menu, select tool, change something in the view of tool, say shank diameter, hit apply,  Message "cannot dsipaly tool for current tool setup" So how can I modify existing tools?

Good morning,  I am trying to change the default name of the coordinates on my D38999 Mil Connector to match the part information. They are all listed in alphabetical order from A to lower case c. However Creo will not let me have two letter cases on my connector. How do I work around this?        

Hi All i have a weird behavior within a pattern.i created a sketch with points in each corner. on the top left, i created a slot hole with the direction as shown in picture. then i use the pattern command to pattern on the points of the sketch. the bottom right slot hole changes the direction. why does this happen?   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.0.0I want a .prt file modeled in CREO 6.0 to open in CREO 5.0. Is there any method available to export the .prt file so that it can be opened in CREO 5.0?Note: I want to retain all the features while exporting.Here are the errors that I faced<.prt file name> cannot be retrieved

From the above Screenshot, I need to get the children of Left_Sleeve and Right_Sleeve.  Kindly suggest a sample code for the procedure. Thanks in advance  

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew if Creo Parametric is capable of producing drawings like this: Not sure which this drawing was produced in, but it follows the conventions I was taught during technical draftsman classes in high school, and technical sketching classes in uni. Key thing I would like to achieve- the boundary lines are thicker than internal lines, and if there is a way to make a bottom or part-overlapping edge thicker than standard outer lines that would be great too. Haven't seen anything online that relates to this. Not sure if it's even possible. Thanks!

Is there a way to change the default action in the conflict prompt from "Check out now" to "Make Read-only" for example?  

Hello,I have a problem using Creo Toolkits, that is because of the .exe file executed from the toolkit keeps oppening a Windows blank CMD window and whenever I close it, Creo just crashes. I don't know if this is because something on my code though.Is there a way to hide this CMD windos from oppening? My code: #include <wfcSession.h>#include <pfcGlobal.h>#include <ProMdl.h>#include <ProSolid.h>#include <ProDrawing.h> class OTKTestCallBack : public virtual pfcUICommandActionListener{public:void OnCommand();};/* Entry */extern "C" int user_initialize(void){ pfcSession_ptr Session = pfcGetProESession(); wfcWSession_ptr wSession = wfcWSession::cast(Session); wSession->RibbonDefinitionfileLoad("format_drawing.rbn"); pfcUICommand_ptr InputCommand1 = wSession->UICreateCommand("FORMAT_DRAWING", new OTKTestCallBack());InputCommand1->Designate("msg_user.txt", "Formatar Desenho", "Formatar Desenho", "Formatar Desenho");&nbs

Currently using Creo 7, We have a standard hole note that we use all the time. &PATTERN_NO - &METRIC_SIZE &DRILL_DEPTHEQUI SP ON A &d PCD 6 - M4x0.7 ThruEqui Sp on a  PCD. The default hole callout can do all the parameters apart from the PCD. For this we have to find the driven dimension for the diameter and copy that parameter into the hole note text. Often our models have multiple hole patterns so we can't set a parameter in the model start-up. Is there any parameter that can be used like PATTERN_NO. but for the axis diameter?If not is there any work around so that the ID of the diameter can stay the same relative to the hole that it was created by?   

When adding parameter(s) to a part for COMPARATIVE_TRACKING_INDEX.  Demo showed adding value to be applied to a feature.  System allows selection of SURFACE, QUILT, BODY etc. Is the system set-up to use these element types (How ? ) - I have had zero success when trying to add anything BUT a surface.With a complex part file that simplifies a supplier assembly or design concept I have encountered the need to add over 20 surfaces, what would be the best technique to simplify selections, (e.g.; can a quilt be created and used? ).              

Hello,I am trying to create a Toolkit in C/C++ that creates the flat Pattern feature for a Creo sheetmetal part.I tried using the method ProFeatureWithoptionsCreate() described on this article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS69107?source=searchBut I wasn't able to figure it out what is needed for this method to work. 

Hi,I am trying to run a static analysis of a threaded member and am not sure on how to model it as the threaded member and bracket have clearance.please refer to the image attached. Item # 1 is the object of interest. it passes through and is held in position by the welded bracket (Item # 4). Should i be using a contact interface between the components 1 and 4 ?Could anybody throw some light on how to get this ready for analysis please? Using Creo Simulate 7.0@MartinHanak
