Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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.  

Hi,I'm starting to use the welding module.I have a problem:I created three fillet welds, I try to combine them but I can only combine two, selecting the third one this message appears: "The groove/butt weld must be positioned higher in the Model Tree than the fillet weld."Has this happened to you too?Have you solved it?Thank you.P.S. I'm using Creo 9.0.2.0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0I am using AFX and i know there is an auto number and auto generating name for parts and assembly. Is there a way to have the Item number generator different for each profile type? I'd like to have in my assembly a naming scheme for parts like this:PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_01;PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_02;PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_03;PROJECTNAME_U_BEAM_01;PROJECTNAME_PIPE_01.Instead of actual naming scheme:PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_01;PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_02;PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_03;PROJECTNAME_U_BEAM_04;PROJECTNAME_PIPE_05.

Dear friends,  I want to dimension drawing view , for these I need faces and edges from edges , please help me to get all edges and faces from solid body        

I would like to have a part that contains multiple simplified reps produce separate drawings for each rep and allow the titleblock parameter [&TITLE] to use the rep name rather than the part name.   Currently I have produced the drawings but they contain the same information in the title block.            

Hi everyone, I am wanting to create a family table that allows the user to pick from a list some options for features. Like, do you want 3 grooves on the face or only 2 grooves.  Our parts are just optional features that sometimes vary in size. I was looking at nested family tables but it doesn't seem like I can select an instance from the subfamily table in the main family table. Our parts are very simple and of the 10 features there are only 2-5 different variations which is why I am not worried about using a family table. Ideally I would like this to easily translate into a drawing so I am not having to put a lot of dimensions for each new drawing. I need one drawing per instance. Thank you in advance for the help!

I used the family table patternize instance feature to make several shafts that change with their length. I am making a drawing and I want to pull in and show the incremental value that the patternize feature used. Is there a symbolic name (like &dxxx) for this particular dimension? I've looked several places and can't seem to find anything.   

Hi Created cylinder in creo by using extrude, I need to use this surface in optical analysis, But when i click surface, just half of them selecting, for the other one we need to select with CTRL, But this is no good my optical simulation, Simulation software requires me just 1 clicking ,  How can built this part as a on single surface,
