Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi,In Creo 4.0, is there any way to change/show the quantity of items (not bulk items) as "REF" or "AR" in BOM which is having multiple assemblies?I could be able to change the values in BOM with single assembly (using relations - "rpt.rel.<User Defined>")But for multiple assemblies BOM which I created using "rpt.qty" & "Column Model/Rep" I am not able to change the qty values.If I use rpt.rel.<User Defined> parameter, then I am not able to add second assembly using "Column Model/Rep.Can someone please help on this question.Thank you!!   

Hi, As you see in the attachments, the thickness of the arrow line is so lean when export to pdf. How to increase that arrow line thickness? I need the arrow lines to be at least 70% thick as same as the drawing line.    

My Simulation doesn't work with mesh size 1mm but works with mesh size 2mm and 3mm without a problem... How can you explain or evaluate that?   thank you very much 😊   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate     meine Simulation funktioniert mit Mesch size 1mm nicht aber funktionniert mit Mesch size 2mm und 3mm ohne Probelm... Wie kann man das erklären bzw. bewerten ? vielne Dank 🙂  

As per the original post.    I don't understand PTC's choice of using the Front Plane.  If our Creator had hired them to model humans we would all have no face. Isn't the Right Plane the obvious choice if you are going to force anything?

In one of our assemblies made with AFX, the assembly file shows all objects as being solid models. When we go to the drawing, some of the components are showing as quilts. Red objects are shown as quilts, the rest are solids. What would cause only part of the objects to come into the drawing as quilts when they are solids in the assembly? We are on Creo 7.0.10.0. Design was done originally in Creo 4.

Hi,   When ProMdlnameRetrieve gets PRO_MDLFILE_DRAWING, depending on the environment, it takes a long time to get a return value other than PRO_TK_NO_ERROR. For example, in the case of PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND, if the PDM server is not active, the return result of ProMdlnameRetrieve takes less than 1 second.If the PDM server is enabled, it may take up to 2 minutes to return PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND. If anyone has had a similar issue to me, can anyone share a solution?   Thanks, Warm Regards SeonHo.CHA

Hi,   I'm encountering an issue with Creo7 NC that tap file computation is taking so long   Any possibility that this can be completely done backend while we continue working on Creo?   Through Queue manager, we are only able to compute CL file backend but not able to convert to G code   Thanks Phani

Guy's its been 5 to 10 years sense I have log-on to this website. I have no excuses..  I am using CREO 4 and have an assembly open.I have 2 parts within the assembly.I activated part number (2) from WITHIN the assembly.I copy a surface [from] PART 1 [to] PART 2.  The Surface in PART 1 is a quilt of which I only need a specific area.The surface is copied into PART 2. Good so far...The feature in the model tree has a glyph. It looks like 2 sheets of paper. good so far... In my model tree, I have selected in my Model Tree to show "FEATURE TYPE".The problem is when I try to use the FIND/SEARCH function for all "external copied" geometry. I get nothing. I tried numerous selections, only to get nothing.I need the FIND/SEARCH function to gather a list so we can work. The number 2 part (.prt) has 1158 features.  Below is a picture of my model tree. There are 2 features highlighted that are "Copied Geometry" from another part file - PART (1).  The goal is

Hi all, So I was looking to start customizing my workflow so I can make parts and drawings quicker. One way I wanted to do that was to start customizing my keyboard shortcuts. I am noticing in Creo Parametric 7.0 that you can't have any keyboard shortcuts that are single keyed or are a combination of a key and Shift? With all of the different tools in Creo that I could use shortcuts for, this seems arbitrarily limiting. I do have the option "enable_single_char_keybrd_short" enabled, but whenever I try to make a shortcut with a single key or a key+Shift I get the message "Invalid shortcut. Please use another key combination." So can you just not use single key shortcuts? What's the point of that config option? Any help is appreciated! Thank you        

Team,  I Would like to Create a ordinate dimensions automatically, after finding the flat view in  drawing... 1. code need to find out the Flat View is present or not2. need to create automatic ordinate dimensions for the view  Please help me to solve my problemplatform: CREO  4.0 M140 / toolkit C++        

Creating a new part by mirror in an assembly, but there is a missing option (or I can't find it).  In past versions, Pro/E, you had the option to include the datums.  I don't remember what the menu pick was called exactly, (you could choose "Reference", meaning dependent, and with or without datums), but the result was a new part, geometry only, and it included mirrored datum planes from the original.  That way you have something to use for alignment etc when you put the part in other places. In Creo 9, there is the option to mirror "Geometry with Features", but that is not dependent, so it won't update with the original.  Does anyone know how to mirror the Geometry and include the datums?  Or to make the "Geometry with Features" dependent?

Using Creo 9 and Windchill 12.0.2.7. I use linenumbers from Windchill that feed my drawingtable. No issues.Now I want to add a note, in my assembly, that reads the linenumber value. So sessionID gets involved.So I am struggling with FID_N and SessionID but I cannot get it to work.it works fine to read component parameter, but since a linenumber is an upstream assembly featire, I cannot get the correct the linenumber in my note. See .png attached.Is this possible? 

Is there a way in Creo 9.0.4.0 to turn the words back on along with the icons?   Is there a printout of the list of icons and what they mean?

Can someone please help and tell me how to calculate or find the values of " exponent " here (attached) ??Thanks a lot ...  

Hello,Is it possible to only display the annotations (mainly for dimensions) in the drawing tree for Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0 ?In the example below, I would like to only see what is in the "Annotations" without depending on their view. 

We have been suffering from an issue with saving files back to the network over VPN. While I accept the limitations of VPN there are some significant delays with Creo v8 (and also seen earlier) when saving into a folder that already contains many other files - the delay gets worse with the larger number of files in a folder. What is notable is that if we save a new or the same part to a new folder the time is greatly reduced. We have tried testing with a default config file and it made no difference.What is also notable is that the first time you first go to open a file from a folder with many files it also takes ages to iterate and display the files to browse.Saving larger files from other applications is much faster and we can transfer mb's in seconds - saving 600kb in Creo can take over a minute at times.I am open to suggestions as to how to resolve this?

Hello Simplified Representations aren't all that simplified. If you have an assembly with a lot of patterned parts, you have to arduously include and exclude them manually, one by one. And then when you make a drawing using those Simpreps, the BOM table changes. Styles are an order of magnitude simpler to handle, and less confusing. Plus you can set if they should be shaded, transparent, wireframe or whatever. I would very much prefer to assign a Style to a drawing view.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0Hi,My customer want to know how to import rhino model (.3dm) contains attribute user texts into creo and want to access attribute user text properties inside Creo for navigation .

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.8.0Hello,I experienced something weird with Creo 7.0.8.0 and Windchill 12.0.2.1 :When I save and upload a CAD, if I am quick enough to create a new part while the upload is running, Creo crashes with a fatal error.This problem is easily reproducible (only need to be fast).Any idea what is the cause of this issue? Is there any way to tell Creo and/or Windchill not to start a download (in this case, the startpart) while another server operation is running (in this cas uploading a CAD)Thank you in advance

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the simulated fasteners feature within simulate but I am having trouble understanding the values that are being generated and output within the .RPT files. Please could someone help me understand the units it generates the results in and there magnitude. Are the results related to the principal system units? If so how? Or is some conversion needed?For example say may principle system units are: millimeter Kilogram Sec (mmKs) And my reference results for a fastener are:Fastener1_axial_force: -3.623420e+02Fastener1_axial_stress: -1.921483e+01Fastener1_bending_moment: 6.681525e+03Fastener1_bending_stress: 5.784788e+02Fastener1_intf_bend_momt: 7.016585e+04Fastener1_intf_norm_forc: -3.369641e+03Fastener1_intf_shr_forc: 3.136455e+04Fastener1_intf_tors_momt: 8.245580e+04Fastener1_sep_stress: 7.248065e+02Fastener1_shear_force: 2.094341e+03Fastener1_shear_stress: 1.110620e+02Fastener1_torsion_moment: 7.680219e+02Fastener1_torsion_stress: 3.324723e+0

Hi,We are planning to develop a Creo utility and we have chosen to go with VB api since it contains the required APIs that covers all of our requirements. But the doubt is can we use VB api in C# since it is a COM library. Thanks for your valuable replies.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0After importing images through object OLE in the format template, the image cannot be displayed when opened again, and even after creating a drawing template using the format template, the image cannot be displayed. What is the reason? How can I import PNG images with transparent backgrounds into the format template file?
