Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello, regarding the groove turning command in the turning module: can we specify an angle for the tool's approach and retraction? Also, for profile turning, if it is possible to use multiple passes instead of a single pass, how do we set that up? Thanks. 

Hi everyone, I’ve been using Creo Flow Analysis for quite some time and run into a frustrating issue in Creo11 where the ‘Open Projects’ button becomes inactive.  here is the work flow:ran a thermal-fluid simulation and reviewed the results saved project close and restart creo when trying to load the analysis again, the open projects button is disabledAll associated project files are present in the working folderThere are non-ASCII, no spaces, no special charaters in the working folder path.  Has anyone ele encountered this in creo 11? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

When I import an assembly STEP (stezni_pribor_asm.stp) into Creo’s Part mode (File > Open > .stp, Type = Part, Import type = Geometry), the resulting part has wrong geometry: some solids in the STEP file come in as open quilts, some components are missing, and the rest overlap.Creo reports: Warning: Importing assembly in part mode. Geometry may be wrong.WARNING: One-sided edge found in IMPORT FEATURE. WARNING: Unattached IMPORT FEATURE was detected. WARNING: Unattached IMPORT FEATURE was detected. WARNING: Feature creation resulted in overlapping part geometry. Warning: Design intent is unclear. Use Geometry Checks command on the Tools Tab for more information.The same file imported with Type = Assembly comes in perfectly - every solid component comes as a solid, correctly placed. I have attached the step file and screenshots of both imports - the same STEP file imported as a Part, and imported as an Assembly for reference.Questions:1. Is Part mode supported for an assembly STEP,

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?

Hi all,I want to have a mapkey that calculates the surface area of the cross section of an extrusion profile and then paste the value in a new created parameter. What is the best method to do this, i tried with the volume of the part and the length comming from the parameters from the boundry box but it doesn’t seem reliable due to the ID changes of the boundry box feature.What are different methods that work?

I don’t want to receive this warning every single time I open Creo 13 and activate a part for the first time. Is there any way to turn this warning off? Removal of Assembly - Level Features warning 

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

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.12.0There is a "mirrored bodies id" feature in my part. When I updated the part it was referencing the mirrored part did not get updated. How can I edit this to fix it? There is not a "edit definition" when I click on the "mirrored bodies id" feature.

I am facing an issue while importing a STEP file into Creo Parametric.The attached STEP file contains six geometry entities named "Surface". In the STEP file, these are represented as MANIFOLD_SOLID_BREP entities, each containing a single planar ADVANCED_FACE.The surface geometry appears correctly in the source application, but after importing the STEP file into Creo, these surfaces are not represented as expected.Could someone clarify how Creo interprets this type of MANIFOLD_SOLID_BREP representation during STEP import, and whether this is expected behavior or if a different STEP surface representation is required? I have attached:The original STEP file. Screenshot of the expected representation. Screenshot of the resulting geometry in Creo after STEP import.

Good morning, Community,Please see attached for you help. I’m trying to find the thickness of angle for a “Pour Stop” on metal deck, my question is the symbolic equation suppose to show the thickness in “inches” but was showing the result in a different way.

I’m interesting in hearing from anyone that has used the Creo UG/NX Collaboration tool?We are starting manufacturing a product in the UK that is currently manufactured by our sister company in Germany. They have all the cad data in NX, but I think they use windchill as data management.  The question is, does this extension really allow you to edit the NX data in CREO.  I have seen something similar in Solidworks where it interrogates the CREO model and basically redraws the part in Solidworks automatically.  This produced something that looked correct on the outside but the way the model was generated didn’t make much sense and consequently made editing difficult.I suspect that I’m going to have to redraw the parts on CREO manually as they are mostly sheet metal components, and I am doubtful that the conversion will be seamless.Does anyone have experience of this?  Bearing in mind these converted files will be used for manufacture and be subject to revision.

Hi everyone,When I try to integrate a custom family table into IFX, I am unable to select a length, only the thread size.The parameter LG does not seem to be readable. However, I cannot find any errors in the .PRT or .DAT files.I have attached my original files.We works with Creo 8.Perhaps someone can help me?Thanks in advance.Best regards,Peter

Now that the Community is back… I wanted to share a cool statistic. CREOSON - the Open Source API for Creo Parametric has achieved over 10,000 Downloads! 🎉 You can learn more about it, and download it, at https://creoson.comNOTE: A lot of time, energy, and cool people have been working on this for many years.😎 Hat Tip to the CREPYSON Project for their awesome contributions!

Hey everyone, wondering if you've seen this issue before and know how to fix it. I searched and didn't see the same issue on the forums.    When creating a note with a leader and then going to annotate and creating a geometric tolerance callout, I can take that and hover over the leader note and click it and it'll snap into place under the note as seen in the picture below. We've see this changes the note from a geometric tolerance in the detail tree. It essentially becomes a GTOL callout with additional text above the callout. This is how we want it to look.         Last night Creo started doing this. Same note creation, same Gtol placement, but instead of snapping it below the note, it snaps it at the end of the leader line and keeps the note a note and the gtol a gtol without combining them as shown below.    Has anyone seen this happen or know how to get Creo to automatically do this correctly every time.

We recently crossed 16,000+ downloads for CREOSON 🎉 - a FREE / Open Source interface for automating Creo Parametric.  Massive interest in automating Creo Parametric this year! CREOSON 4.0 (currently in beta) is the next major release, and will have amazing capabilities for automating Creo Parametric - specifically an MCP (Model Context Protocol) Interface for AI Agents. As we were developing that MCP / AI Agent Interface for CREOSON 4.0, we realized that there was still a significant gap between CAD Users, Developers, without AI being in the mix.  That gap is significant - CAD Users are typically not Developers, Developers are typically not CAD Users.  Creo Parametric is basically a queryable and actionable database of user content (parts, assemblies, drawings, etc.) via Creo APIs (e.g. JLINK).  CREOSON was designed to provide a generic API to JLINK - but simpler and easier to understand, navigate, and use.  Basically, the objective was to create APIs that a user could easily identify

When saving a copy of a part in Creo Parametric give the option to ‘save a copy and open’ This option is available when saving a copy of assemblies, why not parts?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0.3.0.Is it possible export file in format of GLTF from Creo Parametric ?

I am trying to continue using an existing Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 M030 installation on a newer laptop with Windows 11.

Hello, I have the same request as this thread made a long time ago :Model Parameter = Today's Date | CommunityAnyone out there know how to set a model parameter equal to Today's Date?Specifically, I'm looking for a way to set the date of a parameter equal to today's date during the creation of a new part or assembly.There was a proposition to  add the parameter (&todays_date) into your template.I cannot make a parameter named “&todays_date”I created a parameter named “DESIGN DATE” with the value “&todays_date” in the part template. When I create a new part with this template, the parameter remains “&todays_date”.Is it me who does not make this right or is there another way ? 

I don’t know if anyone in the support portal watches this space, but…1) The link to PTC community is still to the old site.  Still pointing to “https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/”  See figure below.2) I think you might be able to claim free credit to close out CS415853 with the work done to close out CS457962.Figure 1 - Web element with wrong link 

Using Creo 10 on Windows 11.   How do I write the metrics and reports to a user folder using the config_init.mc file? Target Directory“C:\data\<username>\Creo10\mc_report” Some details that may help. 1) We do set a username system variable that I could key into.2) The “Creo10” folder level is the working directory which we set. Do I focus on the NT or not labeled options.DIR_REPORT_NT or DIR_REPORTThanks for your advise.
