Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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!      

How to identify the feature to which the GD&T symbol is attached in a 2D drawing using Pro ToolkitIs there any API functions available for this purpose?Thanks     

Can we create the color pdf just the shadow view and not the title block?

I am learning CREO after using SolidQworks for some time. Are there PTC/Creo Tutorials to understand how to modify Creo Assemblies?  I would like to extrude cut a part (jig) in a CREO assy to accommodate the new revision of the part design.  Or do I have to trace a 2D planar profile of the existing part to make a cut and modify this geometry for the 3D geometry to fit?  Maybe I just need to start with the basic tutorials for building parts and assys.   Pictured is a cross-section view of the conflict. Thanks!  CREO Parametric V9.0..1.0   

In creo toolkit how to visit each component surface?  

Hello,can we use pro/program or any other method to hide/unhide layers as per the input we are giving  in Creo 3D model?  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0How can I make the custom weld symbol that I need? I have an image of the symbol I need to create, but I don't know how to replicate it within Creo.Image of symbol:https://i.imgur.com/g0cREkW.pngA colleague created this symbol in SolidWorks. I need to put this symbol in my drawing in Creo.Thanks,

I notice that in CREO Parametric 10.0.0, to add Arrows for a Cross-sections you have to first open up the edit hatching tab (by clikcing on the hatch lines), then switch the to the Layout tab to find the Arrows tool. It looks like you can no longer start with the Arrows tool and then click on the desired hatching either. Is there an easier way to show the placement Arrows of a Cross-section than having to switch tabs?
