Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I’m using the new flat pattern dxf export feature in CREO 13 and so far it is working very good.However to further automate my workflow, I would love to include the thickness and possibly the material in the filename.In the export dialog, I tried setting the file name to:&model_name_&smt_thicknessbut that gives an illegal characters error. Is there any way to do this? Additionally it would be convenient to export any parameter as text like you can export width and length currently.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0 I am attempting to automate the Fix Indexing process in a Creo drawing for multiple components within an assembly by assigning RPT_INDEX values through relations at the assembly level. The goal is to update the BOM item numbering and sequence automatically in a single operation. for Here are the errors that I faced after assigning and verifying the relations, the BOM table does not rearrange according to the specified RPT_INDEX sequence upon regeneration. Additionally, the RPT_INDEX values are not consistently reflected against the intended part numbers, resulting in incorrect item sequencing within the BOM. We would like to understand whether this behavior is due to a Creo limitation, configuration requirement, or software issue, and seek guidance on achieving fully automated Fix Indexing through relations.

Hello,We received from customer Bend table in format which SolidWorks read well, so we are trying to apply that in Creo (Creo 11.0.3), but as we noticed Creo has a little bit different format. It has radius and thickness and values inside are bend allowance if i understood correctly, and the table from SW have thickness, radius , bend angle (which is not affecting k-factor if u see table, so it can be ignored), and k factor as value derived (0.618, 0.619, 0.693....). Does anyone know how that should be applied in Creo and have maybe some examples, or is bend table a right way in Creo to apply this.

I have an assembly with 5 different components and I'm planning to create 7 different instances. 4 of the 5 components will always be painted the same color, but the 5th component needs to be a different color (color-coded for each of the 7 instances). When I assign that component a color in the generic assembly, the same color propogates to each of the 7 assembly instances. Anybody know how to overcome this problem?

I have extensively used equation curves based on the sine curve formula in the work I do.  I would like to be able to vary this to where the upswing of each wave is tighter than the downswing.  The wave itself would retain the same height on the upswing and downswing only the radius values would change.Below is a mock up of what I am hoping to be able to do.  Also, I would like to be able to repeat this pattern.  I am hoping that this would be possible. 

My company recently transitioned from Creo 10 to 13 (version 13.4.1.0), and one of the features I used regularly is no longer available, as far as I know.  I have been using the scroll wheel to change between items on drop-down menus - e.g., tolerances in drawings, joint statuses and definitions in welds, file type in the Save As window, and probably more - and it appears that that function no longer exists in Creo 13.  It was very convenient to my workflow, and I hope that this functionality can be restored in a future patch, or support personnel can direct me to a config option to fix this if it already exists.  Thank you

一个组件生成的BOM表，但是有些部件不希望在BOM中看到，就使用了简化表示，现在只有在3D装配图形中看不到零件了，但是生成的BOM中还是存在不希望看到的零件，我应该如何设置才能达到想要的效果，感谢

HeyI have a Mould that has 3 BodiesWhen I make a drawing I want to show only one of each bodies. My goal is in the 1st sheet I will show the views of  top part of the mouldin the 2nd sheet I will show the views of middle part of the mouldin the 3rd sheet I will show the views bottom part of the mouldand in the 4th sheet I will show 1 view top part and another view middle part and so on.. each sheet will have top view, bottom view and side views of the body  Please let me know how I can do it

HiI am on Creo 10.0.1.0While features such as Holes, Rounds, Chamfers etc can be grouped using query in Layers, wondering if the same can be done in the “Design Tree”.Filtering the design tree and dragging and dropping the features into the custom group is a manual process which we would like to avoid. The reason being, every time a new feature such as a round is added, it would not become a part of the custom group, without a manual intervention.Help documentation is silent on this aspect.I am aware that this can be done through layers.Thanks in advance.

When a PCB needs to carry significantly higher current, simply increasing the trace width is not always enough. There are several factors that need to be considered during the PCB design stage to make sure the board can handle the electrical and thermal requirements.Copper thickness is one of the first things I would evaluate. A high-current design may require thicker copper depending on the expected current and allowable temperature rise. Trace width, copper pours, and the overall current path are also important because resistance in the PCB can result in voltage drop and heat generation.Thermal management is another consideration. Components such as MOSFETs, regulators, connectors, and power devices can generate significant heat, so the PCB layout needs to provide suitable copper area and thermal paths. Vias can also be useful for transferring heat and connecting copper between layers.The return-current path is just as important as the power path. Poorly planned ground connections ca

i have problem executing smartcolor in creo could someone send a url of an explicative vedio

I’ve kinda got a situation here… Consider I have two diffrent teams working in my office. One team is sitting at a different country & the other is sitting at India. Now, both of them are working on a same rocket assembly & the parameters & relations which both the teams are using are different only in terms of names. The result/output of the parameters that are needed are same. Now, if I want to bring them together, where CREO has to identify that 2 differently named parameters are the same & it has to consider a master parameter based upon the 2 named parameters…Is there any way to do this???

Hello all.I need to create a heilcal gear for my project.I’ve tried a few on Youtube but cant get them to work.Does anyone know of a good guide to follow...or even on online generator where i can input my data and download a stp file?I found one online generator but it wont accept my data - out of range.I’m on Creo 11.Thanks

Hi,Does anyone have experience with ‘Leo AI’ in the Creo Parametric-Windchill environment?Thank you

Current Behavior of CreoIn Multi-Body models, Creo regenerates all features following a modified feature in the model tree, regardless of whether these features are actually affected by the change.The regeneration process primarily follows the sequential order of the model tree rather than the actual geometric and parametric dependencies between features.As a result, features that have no direct or indirect relationship to the modified feature are regenerated unnecessarily.This behavior affects both:Features within the same body Features belonging to other independent bodies within the modelProblem / EffortIn large and complex models, this behavior can lead to significant regeneration times, even when only a small local modification is made.A change to a single feature can cause hundreds or even thousands of subsequent features to be recalculated, despite the absence of any actual dependency.This results in:Long waiting times during design work Reduced engineering productivity Slower d

Hi all.Is there a way in Creo 9 on a drawing to move both witness lines for dimension together?  Sometimes I would like the gap closer or farther away on one specific dimension and I end up moving both independently and just eyeballing to make them about the same side-to-side.The only workaround I’ve found is to add a dummy dimension and use control to select that and my real dimension together then move one witness line and they all 4 move together.  The go back and delete the dummy dimension.I’ve seen the how-to’s on the PTC site and other users descriptions, like selecting the dimension and the drawing view using ctrl but that never works for me!Thanks in advance!Brad

We have been seeing a new icon in the upper right corner of Creo 10.0.7.0 at different times.  Never seen it before.  Nothing in session this time.   

I am using Creo Simulate Release N/A and DatecodeN/A Running Creo Simulate version 10.0.10.0. I´m running a non-lineal simulation with contacts with linear material. Loads are only prescribed displacements. Model check shows no issues. Run without issues unload and 2 steps, then fail. Attached message. Model has 116259 elements and 10 contacts.

I have been using CREO MDO for some time to evaluate forces, crank torques etc. It works very well. But what's the best way to dynamic balance a complex mechanism such as a internal combustion engine in MDO?

Hello everyone,I am running Creo Parametric 11.0.5.0 Education on Windows 11 ARM inside Parallels Desktop 20.4 on an Apple Mac mini M4 Pro with 12 Cores and 24 GB of RAM for the Virtual Machine.After adding the following lines at the beginning of parametric.psfENV=PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64ENV=PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=x86e_win64Creo starts and works correctly in Shaded mode. However, as soon as Shaded with Edges is enabled, severe graphical corruption appears. Hundreds of incorrect black lines are drawn between unrelated vertices. The surfaces themselves are rendered correctly.Interestingly, during the first second while the model is still loading, the edges are displayed correctly. The corruption only appears after the loading process has finished.Changing edge_display_quality from very_high to low only changes the edge quality but does not solve the issue.Larger assemblies also eventually crash with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.Trying the same on an older MacBook Air M1, Creo runs significan

Has anyone got any training materials or tips on using Creo manufacturing functionality to program a wire EDM machine? We have a “Complete Machining” license. I’ve been using the standard 3-axis milling functionality (with a 0.010 inch “endmill”) to generate the necessary G-code for 2D profiles. It’s fine, I guess. My problem is when I need to define non-2D cuts. I’ve been resorting to creating points at the different Z heights of the cuts and “processing” them via Excel to create G-code with the necessary X, Y, U, and V values. It’s not fun.So, if anyone has been doing wire EDM programming and wants to point me to any information that might make it more efficient for me, please let me know. Perhaps there are 4- or 5-axis methods that would work, with the proper post-processor? Will I have to write my own post?

Is it possible to show the hole note as a column in the hole table instead of just the diameter?

Is it possible to trim a radial axis pattern centerline ina drawing? ie: A bolt hole pattern centerline?Solution: Turn view into a partial view and cut off the excess centerline with view spline. So easy I couldn't see it staring me in the face. Thanks to all who replied so quickly. Wayne, I agree this isn't a preferred method, but for these parts which are made in house, it will work.

I'm using Creo Parametric 11.0.4.0. When I do File > Save As > Save a Copy and pick Creo View (*.pvz), the export fails and the message bar says "Creo View recipe file(proepview.pvr) can not be found." Here's what I've tried so far.In the Options dialog I left the three recipe fields blank and I saved the profile to confirm they really were empty.I looked in the config.pro and config.sup in Common Files and didn't see anything about recipes or Creo View. I also couldn't find intf_pv_recipe_dir or intf_out_pvs_recipe_file in the Configuration Editor, even though older posts mention them. When I searched my install, I found proepview.pvr in Common Files\applications\cvadapters\prodview\recipe, and export_pvs.rcp in Common Files\text\prodview. An older post here said they should be in the same folder, so I copied proepview.pvr into text\prodview. I also pointed export_profiles_creoview at that folder, restarted Creo, and tried again, but I still get the same error.Does anyone know w
