Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello everyone. I need to change the default diameter in the creation of the water circuit in EMX, in the options there is the entry WATERLINE_DESIGNER_DEFAULT_COMPONENT set like this:mm | meusburger | E2080_8_10 && mm | meusburger | E2000_13_14 && mm | meusburger | E2130_11_8_2_4 && mm | meusburger | HOLE_8, where I assume that HOLE_8 is an instance present in the HOLE.dat file, I should bring the default value to 8.5, in the file HOLE.dat I inserted a line with the name of the instance HOLE_8_5 but changing the options mm | meusburger | E2080_8_10 && mm | meusburger | E2000_13_14 && mm | meusburger | E2130_11_8_2_4 && mm | meusburger | HOLE_8_5 when I launch the creation of the circuit it always remains Ø8, something wrong?

Hello,   starting Creo Parametric, i am supposed to register the "quality agent" and I'm asked wether to do it or not. If I pull "yes", an error message will blow up, telling me I should contact the technical support with the error "0x00000009", afterwards the program shuts down. If I pull "no", the program will directly shut down. Unfortunately I can't contact the technical support because my "web account does not hold the following required privileges to access this application: Customer Service Access", so I try it this way. Could anyone help me?   Thank you very much in advance!

Dear All,  for my study project, i am working with dowel pins in an assembly. I want to run Modal and static analysis of the assembly and i want to idealize these dowel pins as shown in the image.  Could anyone please give a feedback about how these dowel pins should be idealized.   

Hi, I am trying to create an exploded view of an assembly with multiple parts. The whole assembly was created in SOLIDWORKS 2023 and I am using STEP file of this assembly to create an exploded view in CREO 7.0. But it seems like I can't use the feature "Move with Children" on STEP file to move two overmolded components together. Any idea ?   Best    

Team  I have a flat view(sheetmetal part) in the drawing.  i would like to find it through code for the reference  to  ordinate dimensioning to the view,     

Hi All, I am currently trying to run a Modal Analysis on a Frame. I have got DBID error (it did mesh) with a specific number. I found a thread on PTC Community as to how to find the Element which is causing the error by running the analysis on ASCII. But when I try to run it on ASCII, the software immediately crashes.  Is there any way how to solve the crash issue or to find which element has caused the analysis error? Thank you so much for your time and help. Kind regards 

Hello all , I am trying to connect into Creo using a python code to extract the parameters into BOMs..First off has anyone successful done this?? I believe it is possible , However I maybe missing a file or module or not using the correct connection command. Here is  the current setup.-Creo 6.0.5.1-Python Latest version-All modules update to date.-I have all the toolkit API installed.-pro_comm_msg in environment variables- I have preferred to used win32com.client module to make connection but it has failed to make the connection.- I have also tried Creoson third party software to  make the connection. I was able to connect  to the server and Creo but failed to extract the parameters .it just stated no attributes to get...As there no offical help on this software it is hard to get help on this. So If anyone can provide code of how they establish a connection and was able to send commands/extracted data would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi all, I think I already know the answer to this question before I even ask it, but here goes anyway. Is it possible in Creo to create a helical curve which follows a profile, in a single feature? A colleague of mine who works with Catia is able to do this. I know I can achieve the same geometry using a helical sweep & intersect with my revolved profile but this is 3 or 4 features versus 1 (2 including the profile curve) in Catia, plus, its much easier to set up. Anyone who also knows Catia probably knows the feature I speak of, its the Helical Curve Definition with 'Profile' selected for the radius variation. Hopefully this makes sense.   Regards John 

Hello, I'd like to analyse a geared wheel stoped by a ratchet using creo mecanism.(view in My Videos)Which contact should be used to simulate the ratchet on geared wheel ?Please see my video attachedthe video uses a cam follower to illustrate the case but I would like the ratchet to lock the gear wheel clockwise and the gear wheel to be able to rotate counter-clockwise. is it possible to remove the ratchet part and simply prevent the gear wheel from rotating in one direction? I'am using Creo 7.0.5.0 RegardsArnaud

Just had a crash on creo 8 and trying to run the trail file for the first time, I found a youtube video to follow but when I click run it just doesn't do anything? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've renamed the file, can select it from the open menu, but then I click open and nothing happens.      

Hello,   I get the following error message when I try to set up a simulation in my student version of Creo 8.0.4.0. Up to the analysis I can define everything normally. But when running the simulation, the error message comes up.   Can someone help me with this problem?   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hallo,   bei mir kommt folgenden Fehlermeldung wenn ich Versuche in meiner Studentenveriosn von Creo 8.0.4.0 eine Simulation aufzusetzen.  Bis zur Analyse kann ich alles normal definieren.  Aber bei der Ausführung der Simulation kommt die Fehlermeldung.   Kann mir jemand bei diesem Problem weiterhelfen?        

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.3.0I am trying to post a boring sequence for a FADAL 3 axis VMC. I want the tool to bore the hole, stop at the bottom, back off the wall .100 then move up. From what it looks like in the posted program it doesn't seem to be doing this. I am setting the ORIENT_ANGLE to 0 and JOG_DIST to .100 in the parameters.

Hi,I'm working on Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0, it seems like you can't bring angular dimensions used in a sketch of a sketched hole created in a .prt.For exemple below, we have a simple sketched hole : Sketch used (with an angular dimension) : In the drawing, only the linear dimension appears. One exception, where the angular dimension pops up in .drw is for sketched hole type : "Simple" and profile "Flat". Is this a known problem ? Is there any solution ? Thanks in advance. 

Hallo,I have a problem with my simulation......no matter what material I use for my simulation the result remains the same. I may have a bad configuration of CREO...  someone has already had this problem an can help me?thanks a lot    

For instance, I've tried the merge function and that seems pretty close to the functionality I'm looking for in regard to sharing geometry between parts (Some limitations of course). In practice I'm looking to create a forging model/drawing, which needs to be referenced by a rough-out/inlay level drawing, which will be referenced by a final machining drawing. In Inventor for example you can very easily derive a component into a brand new file and the first feature you see in the browser of the new file is that referenced part. You can control whether to break the link (as if you wanted to use that geometry as just a template) or maintain the relationship as the design intent would be to have any changes propagate up the chain to all parts making the reference. At any rate, the merge is the first way I see possible to conduct this design intent and wanted to ask the forum in case there is a much better way in CREO. My mind next goes to family tables in regard to feature suppression. whi

I am working on an assembly of a launching mechanism. Within this assembly I have created an assembly for the launch housing, an assembly for the locking mechanism and a parent assembly they both reside in with a series of parts and springs. In the parent assembly I have constrained the feature that is being pulled and locked into place with 2 constraint sets. "latched" and "unlatched" with the same series of constraints placed on the lock assembly. Within this parent assembly I have created a family table showing the instances of the assembly in both the "latched" and "unlatched" position, also within the lock assembly I have created a family table with similar instances in both the "latched" and "unlatched" position. The issue arises when I attempt to attach the locking assembly parameters within the parent assembly. Upon adding a table column and defining the addition using the parameter stipulation I select the locking assembly and it does not show a parameter to insert.

Hello ,    can we automation line Break option in Creo drawing so that we dont have to do it one by one and there are lot of such dimensions in drawing which are overlapping. If there is a mechanism which can detect overlapping dimensions and provide line beak can save lot of time in drawing      

Creo 5:Anyone else having to wait 20+ seconds for the Creo's Appearance's menu to open at times?  What can i do to speed it up? 

I have a ModelCHECK use case where some parameters may or may not exist.  I have discovered that if I only list the name of the parameter, then ModelCHECK will not report the parameter as "extra".  But if I add extra requirements to the parameter in the .mcs file then ModelCHECK considers the parameter as "required."   I would prefer to continue to check for "extra parameters" as defined in the conditions file. Can I define the con which is.   "If the parameter exists then it must be a string" In this case "the parameter may exist"PRT_PARAMETER NOTE In this case "the parameter is required and must be a string"PRT_PARAMETER NOTE STR   

We have new designer onboard soon. IT is planning to buy DELL precision 5570, with video card NVIDIA® RTX™ A2000, 8 GB GDDR6. This computer and video card are not listed in the PTC hardware list for Creo 5.0.  Is this computer will be good for Creo 5.0? What driver version need to be for Creo 5?

Hello, is there a way to specifically search for elements without children and list them all up? This would really help with cleaning up the part. It would probably be best to delete unused elements right away, but in reality that's not going to work all the time. Regards, Patrick   

We upgraded to Creo9 last week and now I can't control the layers per view anymore.It's the whole drawing all the time even when I select a given view the layer status changes for the whole drawing. This is the first time I can remember seeing this. Does anyone have an answer for this?

Hi, in feature modeling, section sketch, double clicking on a dimension to modify its value doesn't work any more.This happens since I installed Creo Parametric 9.0.3. on Windows.Thank you for your help.Giovanni  

Hello dear members, Is there a way that Fasteners assembly doent show up in BOM but its members are shown with correct qty?Let me give an example, suppose 1234 is a Fasteners assembly consist of a bolt+ Nut+ 2Washers. Now I am bringing this assembly into another assembly lets say 5678. In 5678, I am patterning the 1234(assembly) three times, will it be possible in 5678 BOM to show 3bolt+3nut+6washers as individual lines with correct qty, but not to show 1234 fasteners assembly in BOM line of 5678. Thanks.

Is there way to control the representation in the family table? or Any way to control the subassembly in the top level assembly ? refer the attached image  i want to swap the instance of 020008946_Generic at top level MB000A014 thru top level family table. pls suggest.  Suggest an alternate way if the above listed options don't exists in Creo.
