Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hallo,in einer Baugruppe sollen über “Ansichts-Manager” verschiedene Varianten der Baugruppe erstellt werden. Dabei sind in einer Variante nur jeweils wenige Teile spezifisch, die meisten kommen in allen Varianten vor. Einige dieser Komponenten werden aber an unterschiedlichen Stellen verbaut.Wir kann das realisiert werden, ohne bei jeder Variante diese Komponenten neu in die Baugruppe laden und verbauen zu müssen?Danke und Gruß,Jörg

I finally got permission and funding from Da Boss to go this year.  Who else is going?  If you are, want to schedule a meetup during one of the days?

I created this desktop application for managing IFX fastener catalogs. Create new catalogs, add fasteners from templates, and append data rows to existing fastener files. You can also import premade fastener catalogs from McMaster Carr.Compatible with Creo 6 or later.https://github.com/mbourque/ifx_customizer  

Hello,Like it says in the title, while placing/replacing a component inside the assembly, the 3D display dragger is not shown despite the fact that the option to show the dragger is selected. Does anyone know what could be the issue. This problem occured when I tried opening the separate component display window. 

Hello, I would like to ask if there is any way how to find out in which assemblies is used one particular part. We have a large folder with several similar assemblies. Then there are two versions of similar part, for example. If I open all the assemblies at first, so they are loaded in session memory, I can use reference viewer to find out where is this particular part used. But is there any way how to do this without opening a large number of assemblies? Hope my question is understandable, thanks for replies.

Hi,Can someone help me with this query related to sheetmetal nesting in Creo. Can we add the 3D sheetmetal model directly to nesting software i.e NC sheetmetal extension & get the setup made automatically? If so please let me know the procedure.Thanks in AdvanceNaresh

I want to know which axis this part can move towards after I cooperate with the constraints. Can this be obtained 

Hi,Would anyone know how to prevent Creo 10 from creating cap surfaces for tapped holes while using the Creo Parametric Hole feature?The surface shown in the image below is not the side wall of the thread but a cap surface at the top of the thread.  This makes you have to query select the hole which is an extra step when assembling parts to the tapped hole at the top-level assembly.Thanks for any help you can provide,Don A  

Is there a way in Creo Parametric to adjust splines with drag handles, like in Solidworks?I am trying to replicate a part from Solidworks, but I cant get the splines to behave just like in the Solidworks part. I’ve noticed that in the Solidworks feature the splines have ben drawn by draging the lines to the desired position. 

When going to a part, right mouse click > Compare to Part structure, Compare to CAD structure.I'm missing the expand all button, how and where can i enable this button. Documentation says it should be there, i suspect it's been disabled in the past due to performance considerations. Can anyone confirm:1- Does this window have an expand all button,  Compare to Part structure, Compare to CAD structure.2- Where can i find the config settings to change this? Thanks. 

Hello,Yesterday I upgraded from Creo 9.0.8.0 to Creo 12.4.3.0 and noticed an annoyance with the “Open File” and “Assemble Component” commands.The problem is that Creo 12, unlike Creo 9, keeps the last selected setting in the filter “Type”. In Creo 9, however, the default value would be a generic setting (e.g. *.prt, *.asm, .....).My question is: is there a way to restore this behavior so that it works like in Creo 9?I tried searching for a setting in the configuration but couldn't find anything.The only workaround I can think of is to create a set of macros to open and assemble the ones that preset the generic filter (*.prt, *.asm, etc.).Does anyone know of a solution or have noticed the same problem?Thank you

I am trying to create a flushed flange which goes around the boundary of a sheet metal part. When I try doing this with the flushed flange feature I run into a feature failed to regenerate error. I have tried the one by one standard chain, rule based partial loop/complete loop chains but nothing seems to work. Attached is the part I am trying to work on with the 8.4mm flushed flange and the corner cut at the edge Q.

I need some cabling support, specifically: I need to run a series of cables through a conduit. I use the route network first, then the route cables. To have them side by side, I copy the network of the first one, at least for the straight segment. What I need is if there's a way, when I route cables, that my cables must fit inside my conduit, so I can set some clearances. If there are a lot of cables and they don't fit within the clearances, please let me know. Basically, I need the same thing you use for the holes; that is, I set the maximum clearance diameter through which certain cables can pass, but instead of circular areas, I need rectangular areas since they're conduits.Thanks in advance.

No question but a tip. I want to have the dimensions of a bush in the parameter SubtitleIf a dimension is rounds to zero, then I don't want that zero in the Parameter subtitle.Example:di = 0.8L = 2.5D = 4 RTOS defaults to rounding to 1 decimal (RTOS is available from Creo 11 and higher)If I would do it that way then it would be SUBTITLE = \ "d" + RTOS(Di)+\ " L" + RTOS(L)+\ " D" + RTOS(D)Which would result in Subtitle == d0.8 L2.5 D4.0 If I would type RTOS(D,0) then it would be "D4"With that knowledge I made an equation for how much decimals I need.Ceil(D - Floor (D))In this case if D = 4,2 it would be 4,2-4 which is 0,2 and it is then rounded up to 1If D = 4,0 then it would be 4,0 - 4 which is 0 and it is then rounded op to 0So then you getSUBTITLE = \ "d" + RTOS(Di,Ceil(Di - Floor (Di))) +\ " L" + RTOS(L,Ceil(L - Floor (L)))+\ " D" + RTOS(D,Ceil(D - Floor (D)))Which would result in Subtitle == d0.8 L2.5 D4But we are not there yet, because in edge cases where you h

I am running model check on a top level assembly. When I look at the assembly report there are parts that have errors however when i go into those parts or open them separately to run model check there are no errors. 

I am trying to achieve one or both things - Disable what I’ll call “context-based filters” for commands. For instance - in order to add a hatch to a surface in a drawing, as far as I can tell, I must have layout tab active, and surface selected as the selection filter. If these aren’t absolute requirements, there seem to be many cases where hatch/fill isn’t available to me. It isn’t always intuitive to determine how to “expose” certain commands, and so I’d like to be able to disable default “context-based filters.”  If above isn’t possible, is there a clear way to review commands and see what their requirements are? In the above example - how to know the requirements of ‘hatch/fill.’ I find it cumbersome to look up and remember the conditions for each command. I have been doing this and creating my own table, but it is becoming a burden to my workflow.If neither are possible, “not possible” will suffice. Thanks in advance.

How can I move the arrow position of the dimension using toolkit.Please refer the picture.I didn’t found any specific API. 

Hi, I tried this How to get Layer status of Drawing layers | Community but it is not working, if I pass the ProMdl as drawing, if you have solution can you please share the code snippet          //ProMdl model = (ProMdl)solid;         //ProMdl model = (ProMdl)drawing;    -→ fails here        /* Visit layers */        ProMdlLayerVisit(            model,            (ProLayerAction)LayerVisitAction,            NULL,            (ProAppData)&view        );

hole_file_resolution use internal How do I updated old files so that any hole callout they are using is saved internally, without going back through every part and updating every hole callout? Up till now, cad files have not been saving .hol files internally.The .hol files have since been updated to include default_callout_format_data. (which allowed me to combine multiple files into one)So using the same file names on .hol callouts wont work, because I was able to reduce the total number required.The main issue, now when I go to put in a hole, there are multiple ‘Thread Type’ selections and half of them will be unused going forward.But if I remove them, old files will contain incomplete hole callouts due to the ‘hole_file_resolution use internal’ not being set when the part was created.Hiding the old .hol files so they can still be read but are not displayed would be acceptable as well, but I’m not seeing any options for that.Any suggestions on how to use the new .hol files without wa

Ive been struggling to creat and report on the same run of modelcheck batchcreo 8.0.9.0 windows 11Ive already tried to input a list with xxx.prt.1 and long after xxx.prt.2 but it didnt work as well.

Hello !I run Creo 9.0.12.0 and I set the config.pro option auto_add_remove to yes. However, it looks like the option is not applied by Creo. No matter what side I move the extrusion arrow, I still have to select “Remove Material” to, well, remove material. Any insight here, please ? Google found nothing so far.Thanks !

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.3.0Subject: Creo 12.4 + Windchill: J-Link Model.Rename() always returns XToolkitCantModifyWe are migrating a Java J-Link workflow from Creo 6 to Creo 12.4 in a Windchill-linked environment.In Creo 12.4, Model.Rename(newName, false) fails consistently with XToolkitCantModify for both .asm and .drw.Isolated test (minimal):1. RetrieveModelWithOpts() on MAC_NEXTAIR_2.ASM and MAC_NEXTAIR_2.DRW2. CheckIsModifiable(false) => true3. CheckIsSaveAllowed(false) => true4. Model.Rename(...) => XToolkitCantModifyManual rename from Creo UI (same environment) works.We reviewed CS419079 / CS419066 about read-only policy since Creo 10, but our case is unclear because modifiable/save-allowed are true while J-Link rename still fails.Please confirm:1. Is J-Link Model.Rename() supported for Windchill-managed models in Creo 12.4?2. Is checkout mandatory for rename in this context?3. Is there a known difference between UI rename and J-Link rena

How can the default on drilled holes be changed to 140°?  While 118° may be standard for a lot of drills, almost all of our drills Ø3/8 and up to Ø1-1/4" are 140° inserted tips.  As a Creo NC user, I change models all the time sent to me by Engineering that have holes put in at 118°, just to match the drill that I will actually be using.
