Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I would like to make these linkages move together, the easiest way to do this as I think is making the distance from the origin the same for the links (indicated by the lines drawn). However, I am unable to find a way to do that, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.  *I am using PTC creo parametric 9.0 student edition  

I am trying to use a conventional toolpath the finish the diameters of a tube with flanges welded on the ends. After generating the toolpath not all of the surface inside with milling window is being cut, attached it a picture of the toolpath.   Initially I thought the toolpath was being trimmed so the tool would not interfere with the check surfaces, but after shrinking the milling window down that did not seem to change. Does anyone have ideas as to why the end of the toolpath is being trimmed like this?  

I am trying to make a couple basic profile milling toolpaths and when posting out the program a G90 or G91 does not show up in the NC code. Initially I thought it was a problem with a setting in the gpost editor but after adding a bit of code I found on this message board into the FIL file it still does not show up. Looking at the .ncl file the command "SET / OFSETL, 90" is not found in the file. Is there a specific place in the mill, operation or toolpath setting where absolute of incremental programming can be set? On another note I would like to be able to insert a G187 P1 into some of my programs, this if for HSM on a HAAS control. I found in the gpost GUI where I can add bits of code before or after a tool change which would almost work. The kicker is I would like to be able to add a number 1, 2 or 3 somewhere in the toolpath parameters that could be written into the P1 portion of the G code (1 is for rouging and 3 is for finishing). I'm assuming there is a way to do this usi

With a particular section view as shown below, Creo View does not correctly export the section as a vector drawing. The error occurs both when exporting to PDF and CGM. The error also occurs both in Creo View 7.1 and in Creo View 6.1.   For example, in the screenshot below, the error occurs at the locations marked with numbers 1, 2 and 3.   The two parts in question are displayed in the exported PDF and CGM files exactly the same as if their section surfaces were not capped. However, all other parts are correctly displayed with capped section surfaces in the exported vector file (e.g. PDF):     It should be noted that the two problematic parts were originally assigned with a partial transparency when the model was exported from Creo Parametric as a PVZ file. Currently however, the two parts have 0% transparency as set in "Edit Properties" -> "Appearance" in Creo View, so they are completely opaque.   If instead of exporting the entire view/assembly, only a

I just received an email that the fix for the cursor disappearing in family tables will be in Creo 9.0.5.0. Can someone help me find a link to the release dates since typing "Release Date" into the search bar for PTC.com does not come up with any helpful results? Thanks.

Hello, Can anyone help me on this? I'm running global license from a Host but no backup server, there are other option then TRIAD? If someone have other idea please let me know.  Running Creo parametric 7.      

I've imported several stp files and struggling when placed on a drawing border to show centre marks of holes. How can I add this, help appreciated.

Has anyone else been having trouble in 9.0.3.0+ with the offset tool not updating references, completely falling apart or flipping around? I'm not even adding or deleting references, just moving existing and it keeps breaking. I've read up on the Articles and Posts, but none of them explain the instability. I opened a case with PTC TS and an SPR will be filed. Examples:Movement of bottom surface not automatically updating the references: Movement of bottom surface causing all entities to lose connection to each other:Edit outer profile dimension, causes offset reference to be lost Change hole to thru hole causes one side of profile to flip, but not the other? @mneumueller I know you've worked a lot on this tool. Have we some solutions in the works for these issues?  

Need sample code in VB to read the parameters of the BODY.                  

I have a model of a stamping die.  it is fairly big - around 2500 features and ~100MB in size.  Regeneration takes a while - around 25 seconds.  It is driving me crazy that anything new added at the end of the model tree (for example a new datum plane) causes the regeneration of all 2500 features.    I am not used to this as typically the system only regenerates the features that are needed.   I wonder I suppose it doesn't help that this model has the "need regeneration" icon that won't go away - so maybe I have to solve that issue.  Just checking if there some model-specific setting that can affect this behavior?   (using Creo 4)  

I have created custom symbols and added them to the Symbol Palette (draw_symbol_palette.drw) and it works correctly. What I would like to do is add the same symbols to the palette that appears when you modify a dimension, for the Dimension Text symbols.  You have many symbols available and you can manually add the symbol to the dimension. Example: "@[xx@]" will give you 'xx' in a box. The reason to add it in this location is so that when a tolerance is added, the symbol will automatically move out to the correct location and for ease of use for the users.      

Hi.I'm looking for a better solution to generate the tap (G code) file faster.Creating the G code from Creo takes more than 20 minutes for per component and at that time I cannot use Creo (Creo is busy with this conversion from NCL to Tap format.Do you know any solution to generate the Tap file remotely or using different approach and not keeping Creo busy with this conversion.Thx,CC

how to get materials from the part(all component part)  here i use 'ProMaterialCurrentGet' (Part is input). for finding the Materials Which API call i should Add?. 

Hello, Was wondering if someone had this issue ever, it just started for some reason.  When I import a STEP or IGES file the tree in inaccessible and the import gives crazy characters when loading and after loading. I can make planes and features but nothing shows in tree. Now it even does this when I load an assembly that used a STEP or IGES that i used in a previous design. I'll attach some screen shots to show you what I mean. Any help appreciated.

When the body is extruded, the surfaces are created as splitted. How can i avoid that? How can i merge them?    

Hello, I just installed CREO 10.0,  I was 6.0 before.  I can't figure out how to edit a drawing symbol in 10. Thanks, 

Hello everyone. I'm having trouble locating the jog on the annotation tab. I would like my weld to be made using jog leaders. This is not for 2D  drawing. This is for model based definition only. Does  anyone know how? im using Creo 7 Thanks 

Hi, The herringbone cell propagation option is available in the lattice feature.2.5D Beams: I enabled it, but I didn't notice any changes to the model.Can someone give a good example?  

Does anyone know how to create 'Angular Running Dimensions' in Creo Parametric?  Our Solidworks users are asking how to do the same thing in Creo.  These are sort of like ordinate dimensions, but around a circle.    

Hello i want to create a gyroid lattice body in creo educational however the representation option is grayed out (see picture). This needs to be changed to the nessecary "Full geometry" for a real body to generate. Does anyone know if this is simply a limitation by creo put on the educational version? Or is there a fix? / Thanks!    

Hi,I'm trying to change the beam profile but the only option is straight.  Is there a reason for this?Is it possible to obtain a different type of profile (parabolic) in which configuration? 

Hello all I am trying to use the manufacturing side of creo to make a couple basic parts and it seems to be not posting the G90 or G54 lines in the nc code, below is a screenshot of the beginning of the program. I've used a few other CAM systems but this is the first time I've tried using creo for machine toolpaths, so I might have something not set correctly. Below is the post I tried using, it said it was for a HAAS VF8. Does anyone know what I need to change so these 2 lines of code will be in the nc code output?      

hello! I have a model of an electrical cable coming off an assembly in creo 4.0, that is modeled straight (as a sweep in a straight line). Is it possible to make this cable "flexible" and orient/route it in many different configurations in both the assembly and the drawings of this part? any help is greatly appreciated!      

Im trying to make a part that had an angled end to it and each end is a different radius and ive been trying to figure out what to do I've looked up videos looked on here and nothing to help me so far this is probably a very easy problem to fix for someone who knows what they're doing so hopefully I can get some help on this ive attached a few pictures as well thanks. The diameter of the big circle is .308" and small one is .205" and the feature is 1.450" long     

Hello, For the laser cut I need to create a family table with many flat sheet metals of a variable part, and put them all in the drawing in 1:1 scale, and them generate a .DXF. How can I put all the flat parts of the family table in the drawing more fast? Is there any way to create a .DXF with all the views that I need without need to put them all manually? Best regards!
