Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello everybody. Is it confirmed that in CREO 7 the GCRI methodology is not supported anymore ? I can't find the "readnewermodels.dll" file. Thanks   Pierluigi 

Sometimes it's helpful to be able to subtract a Creo Cabling assembly from solid geometry.  Article - CS36069 indicates the way to do that is by exporting an IGES file of the cable and then re-importing that into Creo Parametric.  It's not ideal, but it at least provides a way of doing this subtraction. Is there a way to directly reference the cabling geometry, as a Copy Geometry or Shrinkwrap feature, in a solid part and perform this boolean subtraction?  Ideally the solid part would be able to reference the Cabling assembly directly, to maintain parametric relationships.  Is the IGES export method the only option?

Hi Team,  In creo by default there are 3 decimal places in all the dimensions or what we set to.I want to preset the hole dimensioning in creo model and drawing to '2' by default without affecting the rest of the dimensioning scheme. i.e. rest of the features follow default scheme of 3 decimal. Can anyone please let me know if there is a way to define custom decimal places only for holes? I would appreciate your help with it.

Hey All,   PTC Creo Parametric Release 2.0 Date Code M170   I apologize if this is already covered but there is just a mountain of topics around family tables and instances - and none seemed to cover my issue that I could find.  I'm pretty new to creo but have experience with solidworks, inventor, and autoCAD.  I have a part file that has 2 family tables instances.  I also have an assembly that also has its own 2 family tables instances that represent sub-assembly's.  I also have a second assembly that has its own 2 family table instances that represent final assembly's.  Each family table instance of the assembly includes a specific family table instance of the part file and sub assembly file.   For example:   part1.prt (generic) part1-01.prt (instance 1) part1-02.prt (instance 2)   subassembly.asm (generic) subassembly-01.asm (instance 1), includes part1-01.prt subassembly-02.asm (instance 2), includes part1-02.prt   assembly.asm

According to the following link, Creo 7 reads configuration files in the following order: files in Creo loadpoint, in login folder, and finally in working directory.About Configuration Files (ptc.com) I want to put my own config in the login folder but could not find it. I saved a config file in C:\Users\myusername, but it does not work. Does anyone here use login folder to save configuration files? I would be very appreciate it if you give me some advice on this. 

Dear Community members,   Does anyone have information about the cost involved for Creo Pro/Toolkit license cost. I am planning to kick start a development effort on the creo Pro/Toolkit (+ Object toolkit side). I would be interested to know the cost involved for following APIs. Would you someone can help with me. Also please refer the attachment for the specific information I am seeking.   Toolkit Web.link JLink VB Api Object Toolkit C++ Object Toolkit Java

Hi all,I have a big assembly of an Engine Test-Rig, with multiple parts and components. recently when I regenerate the model the assembly fails to retrieve with message “The connection "xxxxx" will be suppressed because of invalid constraint(s)”.and when I save it save it gave me a conflict message "Model is not regenerated"is it normal, and how can I solve this problem?    

Hello! In our company we use Creo Parapetric for modelling of energy-cabinets.Now we want to create renderings for use as product-pictures.It must not be very high-quality pictures with lights and so on.Is there any possibility to do this without the rendering-licence? My second question is about the file-types which can be created out of Creo.What we actually need is an isolated (cropped?) image with a transparent background. So that we can put it on variant templates (for print-use, for web-use...). Is there any possibility to do this out of Creo? I would be happy if you had best practice examples for me! Best regards,John

Hello everybody,I was trying to calculate reactions on the supports of a shaft.In particular, the shaft has an eccentricity on one side, and is supported by two bearings. Moreover, the motion of the shaft is imposed by a drive motor linked by a spur gear connection,Using Creo Mechanism I tried to model the supports with a bearing connection and a gimbal connection, in order to have 0 Redundancies. I attach a simplified version of the model I would like to analyze.In this particular case of eccentric shaft, the reactions calculated by Creo are completely different from the values I would expect.If I try to suppress the eccentricity of the shaft, instead, the reactions become correct.It seems that, for some reason, Creo doesn't succeed in calculate eccentric shaft reactions on a shaft constrained in this particular way.Is there anybody that can explain me this behaviour or even better, can help me find a way to correctly calculate these reactions?  Thank youEleonora &

Can a published and copied geometry from one skeleton model be extruded into another model? For instance, I published and copied viewing window geometry from Z model to V model, is it now possible to extrude and remove material on V model with this geometry? If yes, can anyone explain how? (Please refer to the attached screenshot)       

Need to replace a string by a string in drawing notes in creo parametric toolkit 4.0. The drawing contains 5 sheet, need to replace a particular string by another string in all 5sheet. Please suggest API.    

Hello. I'm running a similar analysis, and currently, I'm facing problems to decrease the dynamic effects. @ptc-4639841, about this Dynamic Analysis that you've mentioned, have you compared the values with the Static condition?   In my model, if I run a Dynamic Analysis, the pin "X" of my 4-bar system will get ~18000 N, but if I use Force Balance, this same pin (in the same equipment position) results in only ~14800 N. I have run the analysis with 0,1 mm/s using relative tolerance of 1E-5, and friction is turned off. The accelerations at the fastest point of my mechanism are small.  Magnitude and mm/s². The peak in the graph occurs when one cylinder stops and the second starts. At the position mentioned before, the graph gives me 0,00075 mm/s². Sadly, I don't have the BMX license to try James' solution using Multi Objective.   Do you have any idea why, even with these small velocity and accelerations, the difference between dynamic and static is so big?   Thanks! &

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0added line to hole file but it does not read it.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.6.0Creo shows Fatal Error while save any assembly as mirror assembly. Issue happening with 2 users. Please solve ASAP

Consider I am to develop machine level inprocess drawings with neccessary setup information,the stuffs like tools, instructions, frequency, reaction plan all are same. So I can add and import as parameters but i have 2 questions. Q1. What is the fastest way to add the dimensions in to the table?Q2. How to add stage wise drawings? like that one without drill and next sheet2 will be with drill, sheet3 with threads and so on. Do I need to make different parts or can do with one finished part?  

This is a mirror copy of the entire assembly. There is no need to separately set the reference side for mirroring, just press Save a Mirror Assembly. What side do you mirror copy to?Also, is there any way to manually set the mirror reference plane???  

The shape below is being modeled using the Sheetmetal function. ( Based on modeling with creo 3.0 )The shape of the part where the gas is introduced in the middle protrudes in both directions based on the central axis. This figure was modeled by me, and was modeled using the Extrude and Bend functions.However, in this way, it is easy to model in one direction based on the center axis, but it is not possible to do both directions.If I dare to model like the picture above, I can do Sketch -> Extrude -> Bend in the opposite direction, but it is too cumbersome. Is there any easy way to do it??  

Utilizing the GTO function, I wanted to know what parts were changed or improved compared to the existing shape.   Personally, I think I entered the system requirements well, but I can't create the shape because there are insufficient parts.   The error message is Utilizing the GTO function, I wanted to know what parts were changed or improved compared to the existing shape. It's open, but I've set the Study Setting elaborately, and I've been waiting for it to be created for a long time. ( Fidelity : 10 / Max. iterations : 2000 )   How can I make a shape? what did i set wrong? If not possible, why? I wonder.   If you need the modeling I worked on, I would appreciate it if you write your e-mail address in Replies.   Thanks for reading.  

ASME Y14.3-1994 in section 4.3.1 states: "Sectioning Assembled Items. Where the cutting plane lies along the longitudinal axis of items such as shafts, bolts, nuts, rods, rivets, keys, pins, screws, ball or roller bearings, gear teeth, spokes, and the like, these parts are not sectioned except where internal construction must be shown."I have used another high end CAD system in the past, and they had a parameter that we could add to the parts that the system would read and if set to NO, it would not cross-section those items. We used this in our family tables of hardware items and it was very beneficial. Is there anything in Creo that would do this same thing?

Hello, I am writing Jlink code to get the Mass, Density and Volume on a CAD part. I am able to fetch these values but I am not able to get the unit for Density and Volume. I am using following API;s properties = solid.GetMassProperty(null);System.out.println("Session model "+em.GetFileName());System.out.println("The solid mass is: " + properties.GetMass()+" "+unitsys.GetUnit(UnitType.UNIT_MASS).GetName());System.out.println("The solid volume is: " + properties.GetVolume()+" "+unitsys.GetUnit(UnitType.UNIT_MASS).GetName());System.out.println("The solid density is: " + properties.GetDensity()+" "+unitsys.GetUnit(UnitType.UNIT_MASS).GetName()); OutPUT: As you can see the unit for Volume and Density is lbm, which is wrong. And there is no UnitType.UNIT_VOLUME or UnitType.UNIT_DENSITY that I can pass as a parameter.I tried to find the JLink API that I can use to get the unit of measure for Volume and Density but I couldn't. I know Density = Mass/Volume, so does that

Hi all, I am trying to use the cabling module to create hoses. Is there a way to make sure a cable does not go through geometry? For instance, in the picture below, I have a hose that must go free from the corner but must go where the cable-cramp is. I have solved this by adding a point that the cable goes through, however this means i have to move the point in order to get a good bend using trial and error. Is there a way around this?    

Hello, I have recent job at modular design, and it has been a hell, After endless hours I have a decent workflow and a decent 3D model of some cabinets of a kitchen. The main target is obvious, once I'm done with the design I want to make a few clicks and then have the entire list of cabinet boards that was used in the whole kitchen, so I can send them to production. The main problem is obvious as well, I have to do many kitchens per day, with different dimmensions, but some cabinets are standards and I am planning to reuse these subassemblies. The thing is that the boards get mixed, the new ones from new designs and the old ones. My main idea was to change each name of each new part, but considering that a cabinet has 7 boards and a kitchen 7 cabinets, that's a hell of a job. Other idea that I had but I coulnd't make happen is to create a family table with the dimensions. I don't know how to do it, and I can't find it in Creo 8. Is there any other alterna

Hello. I am using Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0. So... the title is descriptive enough. But let me give you some extra detail. So I have metric system on my file. The measure tool uses imperial system. It will show the correct value, (for example if I set something to be 10cm it will show 3.937inch) but the file is not on inch. I went to:File>Prepare>Model PropertiesModel is indeed in metric system. Yesterday everything was fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.        

Can anyone please answer how to access the solid model /edit definition of this Quilt surface?   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0   A single part (.prt) created by Creo is about 1.5G, 200 arrays, which cannot be opened using the master representation. Open with automatic representation, the appearance can be displayed, but the model tree only displays the part name, no other sub-features (nor the datum plane), and prompts "This view has been frozen because of an illegal view instruction".   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Creo创建的单个零件（.prt）约1.5G，200个阵列，使用主表示无法打开。使用自动表示打开，可以显示外观，但是模型树只显示零件名称，没有其他子特征（基准面也没有），并且提示“因为非法视图指令，此视图已冻结”。
