Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have a case open at PTC showing inconsistent assembly handling of component mass. See article CS396826. The problem occurs for a component with no solid geometry and an assigned mass of some value and with 0 for the assigned volume.   I have attached models.7z with a sample assembly (asmtest.asm) with 2 components: assigned-mass.prt model with no solid geom and an assigned mass of 5.0 real-mass.prt model with actual geom and mass calculated the "normal" way These models have been created with Creo Parametric 6.0 You will need to set config.pro option mass_property_calculate automatic If this is the only component in the asm then it's assigned mass is not used by the asm. Screenshot (Creo Parametric 10.0.1.0) showing the asm mass of 0 when real-mass.prt is suppressed and note the asm has 0.0 even though assigned-mass.prt is showing 5.0.   After resuming the real-mass.prt the asm mass now correctly has 7.2664 which is including the mass of the assigned-mass

Is it possible to type the dimension f.e. on a circle while im drawing it? Because in Creo 1.0 it was possible when i clicked on the symbol and set the dimension to e.g. "60" it changed it and i could place it on the center for example.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0 IFX紧固件选择后，是否可以直接从PLM中调取模型直接进行装配，而不是本地每次参数化生成，导致无法与PLM中的标准件库匹配

It is fascinating to me that after all of these years and revenue of 3 Billions USD per year… You are still unable to hire UI UX designers to create a logical workflow and interface, instead of this useless tabs and popups that fly around and waste time…Even solidworks got some things right and solidworks is not a good software at all… 

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

Hi, everyone! I was wondering: is there a way to set in parameters or templates the bend position to “add geometry” instead of standard option to the keep wall profile? I would like to have it as default for all my designs from the beggining instead of having to set it manually on every new design. Bend position. Thanks in advance.

Issue background - We have model view on drawing. We want to add Text mentioning specific location in view. When we add text on model view, it is not hiding background model view lines.Also we dont have functionality for Text with white background in Creo drawings.Workaround test - Failed1) Using Hatched Square added on view with white fill color.With this lines still show in Creo drawing as well as exported PDF. 2) Using Symbol of hatched square filled with white color. With this lines gets hidden in Creo drawing but in exported pdf, lines still shows.

Hi,how can I add the default bend radius in the bend notes? I want to add the default sheet metal bend radius at all notes and for all the feature drawing that I’ll do.Maybe I have do modify a config.pro command? Thank you! Michele Barile 

Hello everyone,I am working as design engineer & using pro program frequently.I want to explore the advanced options available in pro program as presently I am using basic level of program. Where can I found the training videos or content to study. with regards,Thanoj Kumar        

Hello! I’m trying to make a simple cable harness 2 wires going from connector 1 to connector 2.There are 2 coordinate systems in each connector that I have made.On my drawing i’m trying to use repeat regions to display which port in the connector each wire should connect to. However no pin no. gets displayed, it doesn’t matter if I select the repeat region to be driven by the assembly or the connector part.I’m using &harn.run.cond.from.pin.entry_port and have tried a bunch of others but it remains blank regardless.I have tried creating Terminators inside the assembly but am unable to do anything besides create it? No editing or anything seems to be possible. I read some other posts where they supposedly add cabling parameters somehow? I don’t see how to do it.Any help to display pins on the drawing would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,I'm working on a Windchill-integrated template library for Creo Parametric (currently on Creo 8, i am updating to 12). The setup is a web-based app (HTML + JavaScript using Pro/Web.Link) that displays a catalog of assembly templates stored in Windchill and allows users to insert them into an active assembly The core problem:When a user selects a template from the catalog, the app needs to do a recursive "Save As" of the entire template hierarchy — renaming every template-owned component to a new order-specific name — before assembling it. This is necessary because each insertion must be independent and order-specific (e.g., MY_PART_0001_CC1234 instead of the original MY_PART_TEMPLATE_CC0000).In Creo 8 we used a Rename → Save → Rename-back pattern via the API (pfcModel.Rename, pfcModel.Save), which worked well:Check out the template root (pulling all children via CheckoutMultipleObjects with includeDependencies = true) Build a bottom-up dependency graph Rename each model to its n

Hi everyone,I am setting up a Random Vibration analysis in Creo Simulate and I am running into an issue regarding Measures. It appears that none of the measures I create are available for selection or evaluation within this specific analysis type.Specifically, I need to output the following two quantities: Failure Index: I need to track the failure index across the random vibration analysis, but it does not appear as an option. Stresses in a custom coordinate system: some standard stress components are available, but they are strictly tied to the global coordinate system. I need to evaluate direct stresses relative to a user-defined, local coordinate system. Is there a specific workflow or workaround required to enable custom measures, or to evaluate failure indices and localized stresses, for a random vbration analysis?Any insights or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,

When routing piping (specifically extending piping), it appears that the "To Plane/Point" and "Parallel to Axis/Edge/Pipe Segment" options in the drop-down list are grayed out, as shown below:This also appears to have been a previously noted issue (as shown in this Article - CS96331) that has yet to be resolved. Is the cause of this issue yet known?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.9.0How to create drawing template in HMX. Is there any option to apply sort and filter in data tables generated by HMX. After generating flattened harness drawing how to change orientation of connector.

Hello, I'm having a problem with the dimension background. I want the hatch background to cover the hatch. Unfortunately, this can't be set, and the hatching under the dimension is still visible. I'm working in Creo 10.

Hi folks,I’m running Creo Parametric Educational Edition 12.4.0.0. and I’m having issues with my config.pro file.I’m trying to turn on “tol_display” so that I don’t have to manually turn it on every time I create a drawing. Up to this point I go into the Configuration Editor make my change, export the updated file to the “C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 12.4.0.0\Common Files\text” folder but nothing happens. Whenever I create a new drawing, I have to manually turn on tol_display for that session. Inside the new config.pro file it’s set to “tol_display yes”.So why isn’t Creo reading the updated configurations from Config.pro?

Hi All,Is it possible using ProMdlCombStateCreate routine to set different visibility styles(show, blank, wireframe, etc) for several solid object (prt, asm) in the model as in the interactive CREO session?Thanks. 

I’m developing with Creo 5.0 TOOLKIT. I need to create cables and conductors programmatically. I found that higher versions provide ProCableAndConductorsCreate, but it's not available in Creo 5.0.I noticed ProCablesFromLogicalAllCreate can create all missing cables from logical references. Is there a way to use it (or other functions) to achieve the same “create a single cable with conductors” effect, without relying on a full logical import? Or must I stick with the combination of ProCableCreate and ProCableconductorCreate?Any suggested workflow or code examples would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

We recently moved from Creo Parametric 9 to 12 and me and several colleagues have an issue with dimensioning in sketcher. Sometimes I have to retry multiple times  to create a dimension between lines/ points etc. The mouse does snap but sometimes the dimension is just not created and nothing happens. Does anyone recognize this and has a possible solution?

I have a very simple assembly, I’m trying to make a pin connection.Everything seems to be ok but when i click OK. i get :17:49 Component cannot be placed.  Confirm restart.17:49 Select any reference for auto type constraining.what am i doing wrong? 

I’m trying to run a validation case in Creo 12 Flow Analysis based on the first example in the link below, but I can’t seem to reproduce the same results shown in the example:https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/simulate/cfd/TurbulentFlow.html#The pipe is designed with an inner radius of 2 mm and a length of 2000 mm.In Flow Analysis, I define the inlet (IN) with a velocity of V = 50 m/s, and the outlet (OUT) as a specified pressure outlet of 0 Pa.The air density is set to 1.225 kg/m3 and the dynamic viscosity to 1.7894e-5 Pa·s.To display the mass-averaged total pressure difference directly as a graph, I use the following expression:plot.MassAvgTotP_Loss = flow.mpt@IN - flow.mpt@OUT#plot.MassAvgTotP_Loss: Mass Avg Tot P Loss IN-OUT [Pa]However, my results are significantly different from the values stated in the example. I get approximately 21,970 Pa difference between the inlet and outlet, while the example shows a pressure drop of 0.73 Pa.What am I

the image is related. whenever i try to open the file it shows this blank screen. I’m new to creo student edition and don’t know much. I was previously an onshape user. i had made backups and made sure to save it a couple of times before closing. The random save i did while sketching is visible for some reason but none of my extrusions are visible.i scanned all my pc’s recent files to see if i had accidently saved it somewhere else too but its to no luck. The sketch from the above mentioned case is not fully visible too.

Hi   We want to know which section is used in Flange (I, Arc, S , Open Etc...) using toolkit... Could not find any direct API for same. So , thought of using element tree. Is there any element which stores this predefined shape name for flange feature element tree?    Created a flange feature with I section, extracted element tree in XML. Modified flange as S section and extracted again element tree... Both the XML files are same so getting confused on how to identify which element is storing this information. If no element is there for this, is there any possibility to decide on this information?

Bonjour à tous,J’ai un sujet à vous soumettre.En conception j’utilise beaucoup les tables de familles pour faire varier les pièces similaires et j’incorpore également ces tables à mes mises en plans pour le lancement en fabrication. Exemple : Pièce A ==> 3 TROUS Ø10 espacés de 100 mm; Pièce B ==> 4 TROUS Ø10 espacés de 25 mm. En général, dans ma table de famille j’ajoute un paramètre chaine (STRING), disons C, pour lequel j’indique alors pour la pièce A, 2x100=200 et pour la pièce B, 3x25=75. Ainsi je peux coter le générique, peu importe le nombre de trous puisque je crée une cote 2d nommée C entre le premier et le dernier trou. Jusqu’alors, le paramètre C est renseigné manuellement pour chaque instance et est donc sujet à erreur. Si vous m’avez suivi, vous avez compris ce que je veux faire !Dans la formule 2x100=200 ==> 2=itos(P#-1); 100=rtos(d#); 200=rtos((P#-1)*(d#)).Malheureusement, je n’ai pas encore trouvé la bonne syntaxe ou la bonne manière de faire pour obtenir le par
