Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello, I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.10.0.When we use a threaded hole feature fabrication needs some information.Thread size, thread depth etc.Using hole chart make this possible.But when we have a pattern of a threaded hole, we also want to see the number of holes.Because this is related to a feature ID i can't seem to figure out how to make this possible.In attached picture you can see what i tried.Does anyone have a solution for me? Thanks in advance. LD

Hi, We're using Creo 10.0.6.0 and currently evaluating the ECAD-MCAD Collaboration (ECX) which allows using IDX files. On the ECAD side, we use Cadence. We ran into a snag because we have rigid flex assemblies that use multiple thicknesses, but Creo doesn't support that yet. Many references here:  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/ECAD-board-with-different-thickness/idi-p/814493 https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Support-IDX-4-5-File-format/idi-p/842345 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS262034?source=search https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS302761?source=search We have workarounds to manage these files today using EMN/EMP transfers. I'm interested in learning if others have already found workarounds to manage multiple thicknesses with IDX files.    Thanks, Joe

I am using Creo 11. I have separate .hol file. I want to write code in that .hol file so that "1 X" should not be visible in the hole note. Plz help, how can I modify this line{0:&PATTERN_NO}× /{0:&FASTENER_ID} × {0:&THREAD_DEPTH[.1]}<ctrl-a>/<ctrl-b>{0:&DRILL_DEPTH[.1]}V so that Pattern_No will not visible if the value is 1.

It would be useful if we could repeat a Geo Tol in a drawing without always starting with the simple "tolerance of precision" I seem to remember in the past when it would start with the previous instance.These are in the drawing, not the model. I sincerely hope that's not the problem. In fact that couldn't be the problem because if they were "in the model" they would simply "show" I would rather add the tolerances in the drawings.

Hello folks,   a colleague asked me if I knew a way to copy the name of a selected model tree element to the clipboard.Since I could not find an out-of-the-box solution, I developed a small tool for this purpose myself:"Copy Model Tree Element Name To Clipboard"Maybe someone else would like to use the tool.

I'm trying to set up a design study where I rotate a crankshaft and the load vectors and magnitudes vary based on the rotation angle.  I was told I could create a user parameter, which is the angle, and then link the load values and/or directions to the angle parameter using relations. So when the angle value changes, the loads change accordingly.   Can someone show me how I would write a relation like that? or Does someone have another way to do this?   Currently the crankshaft is an assembly file where the load vector is defined with a coordinate system.  So when the assembly angle (crankshaft angle) is changed the csys changes to apply the bearing load at the correct vector.

Hey, I have a few mapkeys where I use the pause with the resume prompt/popup. (I've included a picture for clarity) There is no need to hit cancel but if you do click cancel instead of "Resume" it leaves you in an undesired state. The preferred fix would be to remove the "cancel" button entirely and only show "Resume". Is this possible and if so, how. I've tried modifying lines in the config file with no luck so far. Thanks!  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.6.0After installing PTC Creo (11.00.07), I attempted to open various files. However, only assembly (.asm) and part (.prt) files will open. When I view a part, the background is completely black.Here are the errors that I facedNo error messages. but Despite successfully creating and saving new sketches, the part view still shows a black background. Changing appearance settings did not resolve the issue. I still could not visit the part

Is it possible to add a Datum Reference Frame CSY to an annotation state?  If its not supported now, what work-arounds are people currently using? To my understanding, the DRF must be displayed in the model IAW Y14.41 (2018) Section 11.2.1.    DRF's were optional in Y14.5, but are required in Y41.41. I haven't been successful with "Reference" feature on the Model Tab, or the "Establish DRF" in GDT Advisor.  Example Image from Creo 12Excerpt from Y14.41 for example display of DRF's. 

Hi Folks,I can't find the butt weld option in the welding application ribbon. Any idea where this would be?Thank you.

After updating to Creo 12, we noticed that the behavior of the Curve Tweak function has changed compared to Creo 11. Is there any configuration, setting, or option that would allow us to restore the previous behavior from Creo 11?”

Hi,with Creo Parametric 12 have you ever seen prohibition sign from event manager staying at the bottom of the bar even if i've already check the issue from event management?thanks

Hello there,As you can see , i am trying build a simple full asynchronous mode of toolkit application to connect to a running creo session, later i will try to fetch the component details. But as off now i am stuck with this errors  , can anyone help me. 1) I am not sure if i have included correct libraries in project settings.2) stuck in these errors is there any manual to dive deep to study on full asynchronous mode 

Hi @OliverGräbner I would like to create a fastener library compatible with the IFX module.First, I am trying to link an existing family table with the keyword FAMTABLE.To do this, I have created a .dat file, as shown belowSCREWTYPE 1UNIT MMSURFACE 49AXIS 82CBSCR DIN974-1 R1INFO <Screw_test>!Enter the name of the Family Table Part!---------------------------------------FAMPRT VIS_CHC_INOX_JYSYMBOL STRING DN LG B S DK K DG PINSTANCE STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P#FAMTAB M<DN> d4 d6 d15 d17 d5 d7 d16 @pas My family table contains several instances using an item code for each instance.When I launch IFX, the thread box remains empty and I cannot choose a screw size.I also get the following error message:No valid data foundDN Vis_chc_inox_jy.datI think I have a problem with the STRING box in my .dat file.I tried with a family table with two instances and simpler file names, but nothing changed.I looked at all the posts, but none of them answered my question.Could you

PTC is adding AI capabilities into Creo. I wonder what capabilities you hope to see in a Creo NC AI integration? - speeds and feeds calculation  - tool creation based on part topology  - sequence creation  - optimize toolpath approach and exit  - reuse a machining strategy from prior  - check for errors and collision  - etc   Let me know in the comments 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.6.0I have a part 1 (single body .prt) in which I cut the volume of a part 2 (single body .prt) through a boolean operation.After having modified the part 2, I updated the part 1: the part 2 positionning into part 1 was modified, the part 2 is turned upside-down into part 1.How to (re)define the positionning of part 2 relatively to part 1?

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.

Some industry specs tool short cuts in the annotations which may not translate well to the 3D annotation rules.  I'm wondering if some teams have already addressed these?  O-ring GrooveHydraulic PortsO-ring GrooveThe standard o-ring groove dimensions often to to a virtual sharp condition.   Regular o-rings have virtual sharps at the bottom and dovetail have virtual sharps at the top.    Do you use virtual geometry, or special notes, or convert the tolerances to a more GDT based notation?Example groove drawings (Source) Hydraulic PortsIn some of the hydraulic port standards, the dimensions have angles to virtual surfaces.  Do you just redraw to a coinvent real surface, or add virtual surfaces.   (When a standard port is used, we could just specify the Standard Spec)Example J1926 and ISO 6149-1 port images (Source) 

I am trying to set up a company hole table that everyone can use to better format hole notes on our drawings. I have it set up and working well but the one major annoyance is the &PATTERN_NO parameter. I want it included for when there is a pattern but when there is just one hole it displays "1X" Is there a way to add a condition that will not display that is the &PATTERN_NO is 1.Sample CALLOUT FORMAT: &PATTERN_NO X <CTRL-a>n<CTRL-b> &DIAMETER[.1] <CTRL-a>x<CTRL-b> &DRILL_DEPTH[.1] / &METRIC_SIZE &VAR_THREAD &THREAD_DEPTH[.1]Thanks,Josh

Tried harness part/assembly instance/generic. Always get empty report

The ZIP archive contains Notepad++ UDL files for config.pro and drawing setup (dtl) options. I've created them for following CAD versions: WF4 (= Pro/E Wildfire 4) CEP5 (= Creo Elements/Pro 5, formerly Pro/E Wildfire 5) CP2 (= Creo Parametric 2) CP3 (= Creo Parametric 3) CP4 (= Creo Parametric 4) Basis for the options were the lists of Olaf Corten (thanks for them) http://proesite.com/UTIL/view_config.html and http://proesite.com/UTIL/view_setup.html.   General config.pro options get shown dark blue and bold. Hidden config.pro options get shown in a lighter blue, bold and italic. Comments get shown brown and can be folded, if they consist of several lines. Drawing setup (dtl) options alse get shown dark blue and bold.   To add a UDL file to Notepad++, choose "Language" and then "Define your language" in the menu. In the dialog which is opened then, choose the button "Import" and then the appropriate XML file.   https://github.com/DonChunior/Creo-Configuration-Files

Creo 11.0.2.0I've used "Options" "Window Settings" "Graphics Toolbar Setting" to place my Graphics Toolbar in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen. When switching between open windows, working in assemblies, etc, sometimes the software just "forgets" to put the graphics toolbar back in one assembly when I activate it.  I can switch to other parts, drawings and assemblies, and it appears in each window. When I go back to that particular window, it doesn't show.  I can't say for sure, but this seems to happen more after I go to assemble a part using the "Separate Window" Component Display option. My current only workaround to get it back is to close the window which has "forgot" the graphics toolbar, and reopen that file. Funky bug. Anyone else with experience on this?

Is it posible to create a Bom table like below?with repeat region? so its start filling left bellow corner. when it reaches the 7th row.then it jumps over to the second collum. Creo 9 

I have next to no surfacing experience.  I have a solid part that has a concave curved indent, made up of individual "surfaces" I guess you would call them.  Protruding from that set of surfaces is a recycle symbol that I need to edit, or, remove & replace.  My initial intent was to remove it, then extrude a different one, both using the "up to" reference and the quilt being that ref.  I selected the surrounding surfaces, then Copy & Pasted.  That gave me the quilt fine, but I think there are "holes" in it where the recycle symbol is.  I can't extrude to it from the front or back, it just fails.  Help me out...?  Something to fill the holes, or a different approach entirely?  I am at my wits end.
