Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We have an assembly that the designer put too many mounting plates in. The drawing BOM showed 26 plates but only 24 columns. When he went in and removed the 2 extra plates from the assembly and then opened the drawing, he received a message that the BOM count quantity had changed from 26 to 24. All good so far, Checked out the drawing and with the change went to check it back in. Message appears that nothing has changed so nothing to check in. What is Creo thinking when it tells you that the BOM has changed but it isn't changed for checking back in? Same thing but with a dimension. Changed from a single hole diameter callout to adding a 4X. Open the drawing, get notified that the dimension has changed, but nothing to check in due to being no change. In both cases, we had to do something in the drawings to 'force' a change that Creo would recognize as a change to get the changes checked back in. Very frustrating and in both had to open the drawings twice to realize what it would take to

We are using CREO 7.0.  An associate has a Harness that she is trying to figure out if we have all the spools for.  In the model tree, it shows all the spools, but some have a small box that maybe looks like a small schematic in front of the normal spool model tree icon.  CAN anyone explain what that means?  As you can see, we have other spools that just show the normal spool icon.  The model tree looks like this:And it is the spool icon in the red box that we are curious about.thanks in advance!!!!    

Hi,I am a newbie to Creo and I recently created a small format to test it out the scale properties of a drawing. here I found 2 scale one is drawing sheet scale(!) and view scale? how to call the view scale function in the title block from a format? For this I used &scale.  

I have rectangular flanges that I have to create hole patterns for. I usually start with making a master cad file that has some automation to it, which allows me to make quick adjustments to the assembly for modified versions/sizes of the product. Rectangular hole patterns have been an issue for me. My current method is this. I create a rectangular construction sketch, using the center of the hole/duct as a reference. I put a point or circle in one of the corners of the rectangle. I then pattern the sketch using directions, with a relation that takes the length of each side and the number of holes and drives the hole spacing for each direction separate. However, that gives me all of the holes in the middle that I don't want. I just need the outline, so I go in an deselect all the center holes by hand. It's tedious but it works. The problem is when I have to adjust the number of holes, then I have to go through and fix all the selected/deselected locations. The outline pattern option do

Hi,By defauft, when I add a geometric tolerance, it looks like this :  How can I change where the line starts ? For example, like this : Thanks in advance.

Hi,   I have to use same pattern in multiple files. is there any way to create a UDF file of pattern table and use the same UDF file in part whenever required.   Creo version 8 Windchill 12   please help   Thanks, Sandeep C.  

Hello everyone,  I am using Creo 9.0.0.0, and I am trying to define a slider connection for a piston and cylinder to perform its mechanism. I used to do that several times before and it worked. But this time once I define the rotation it is telling me "Connection definition is incomplete".  as shown in the figure.  I have defined two assemblies, the first one which is the moving parts including the cylinder. The second assembly is the fixed parts including the piston.  I am not sure why it is not working with me.       

As you can see the green line is Y+ axis limit .How do I turn all 3 axis XYZ moves into X rotary Z moves?

We would like to be able to export a step file with annotations but without quilts. Currently when selecting annotations, quilts are automatically selected and greyed out so they cannot be unselected. A PTC support representative already explained there's no way around it using the standard options. Please make it possible to export a step file with annotations but without quilts (product idea). Currently when we want to send a step file to our vendors (mold maker for example) it includes confusing quilts which are a potential source for errors.

Hello, this is Minkyu Hwang from IDT.   I have a few questions. 1. If you run creo parametirc, it will be executed in about 3 minutes. 2. Unable to access creo parametric internal browser.   I'm asking if there is a solution for these two problems and I am asking myself.

Hi Community, I'm a beginner to Creo toolkit with C++. Please suggest me, what is the best approach to learn it. My goal is to build custom applications for creo from scratch. I have basic c++ knowledge.Thanks,  

Hello everyone, I have created an assembly in creo prametric v7 from two separate parts. After completion, this assembly has File/Manage File/Rename given a new name and saved. Calling up this module works perfectly. But now when I click on Delete current object, the old file name is also displayed in the delete window for assigned objects. However, this file does not exist anywhere, neither in session nor locally on the hard disk. Any search for this old file has no result.   So why am I seeing this name as a related object in the delete window?     I'm grateful for every comment Matthew   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Hallo Zusammen, ich habe in creo prametric v7 eine Baugruppe erstellt, aus zwei Einzelteilen.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM060When Creo opens a part, whether it is command editing or moving and rotating, it will not respond for more than 10 seconds, and it will reply after 20-30 seconds of no response time, and then cycle.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.7.0I'm trying to import some component from Solidworks Toolbox. When the component has a configuration name different from "Default", the asm.mbr.name attribute and the name in the tree of the component is "NAME(CONFIGURATION)". I can never manage this name and also appear in the attribute of the BOM table 

Hello,I am here trying to differentiate between edges which are hidden in specific drawing views.I have all edges of model but don't know to differentiate between hidden and edges which shown in drawing view.

I am working with Creo 8 and mainly do modeling of assemblies. My current workflow consists of me making a blank part. Normally a basic cube. Then importing that into an existing assembly and making assembly cuts to get the geometry references. I then use those in the modeling  environment as relations to drive my sketches and modeling. I find that this workflow is very clunky and requires me to go back and forth repeatedly to get it right.  Is there a better way of doing this where I can import only the geometry/references I want as sketches then model off of that? Any help would be much appreciated.

I am learning Creo 9 and are trying to make a BOM list with balloons to the assembly. However, I am unable to add balloons. I press on create balloons - all, and nothing happens. No error message and no balloons! I attach a picture.  Also i would like to show the exploded lines that I have created. they are visible when the assy is shaded but not in wireframe. Is it possible?

I need to add a floating license during the running of the TOOLKIT program, because this license must be used during the running process, and the addition of this floating license will be canceled at the end of the running. Does anyone know how to do this? MACRO cannot be used. PTC does not seem to provide such a method or function in the toolkit and object toolkit. If anyone knows, please let me know, thank you.If there is really no such method, ask PTC to add the function of adding and canceling floating licenses to the API   

Please refer the attached screen shot, license file is not recognized while installation / re configuration. this issue appeared in already installed one (CREO 8.0). when try to re-configure, it is not recognized (it does not show "available" message when pulling license file from saved location. sometimes dialog box closes when pulling the license during configuration.   my contact : amutha.m@ptpa.ae           

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.2.0The Creo Search does not show fields and buttons ... the display is blank, not allowing a Search to be performed. Windchill search is used and works, thus that is a work-around. But would still like to determine the cause of this issue.
