Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am working on an assembly of a launching mechanism. Within this assembly I have created an assembly for the launch housing, an assembly for the locking mechanism and a parent assembly they both reside in with a series of parts and springs. In the parent assembly I have constrained the feature that is being pulled and locked into place with 2 constraint sets. "latched" and "unlatched" with the same series of constraints placed on the lock assembly. Within this parent assembly I have created a family table showing the instances of the assembly in both the "latched" and "unlatched" position, also within the lock assembly I have created a family table with similar instances in both the "latched" and "unlatched" position. The issue arises when I attempt to attach the locking assembly parameters within the parent assembly. Upon adding a table column and defining the addition using the parameter stipulation I select the locking assembly and it does not show a parameter to insert.

Hello ,    can we automation line Break option in Creo drawing so that we dont have to do it one by one and there are lot of such dimensions in drawing which are overlapping. If there is a mechanism which can detect overlapping dimensions and provide line beak can save lot of time in drawing      

Creo 5:Anyone else having to wait 20+ seconds for the Creo's Appearance's menu to open at times?  What can i do to speed it up? 

I have a ModelCHECK use case where some parameters may or may not exist.  I have discovered that if I only list the name of the parameter, then ModelCHECK will not report the parameter as "extra".  But if I add extra requirements to the parameter in the .mcs file then ModelCHECK considers the parameter as "required."   I would prefer to continue to check for "extra parameters" as defined in the conditions file. Can I define the con which is.   "If the parameter exists then it must be a string" In this case "the parameter may exist"PRT_PARAMETER NOTE In this case "the parameter is required and must be a string"PRT_PARAMETER NOTE STR   

We have new designer onboard soon. IT is planning to buy DELL precision 5570, with video card NVIDIA® RTX™ A2000, 8 GB GDDR6. This computer and video card are not listed in the PTC hardware list for Creo 5.0.  Is this computer will be good for Creo 5.0? What driver version need to be for Creo 5?

Hello, is there a way to specifically search for elements without children and list them all up? This would really help with cleaning up the part. It would probably be best to delete unused elements right away, but in reality that's not going to work all the time. Regards, Patrick   

We upgraded to Creo9 last week and now I can't control the layers per view anymore.It's the whole drawing all the time even when I select a given view the layer status changes for the whole drawing. This is the first time I can remember seeing this. Does anyone have an answer for this?

Hi, in feature modeling, section sketch, double clicking on a dimension to modify its value doesn't work any more.This happens since I installed Creo Parametric 9.0.3. on Windows.Thank you for your help.Giovanni  

Hello dear members, Is there a way that Fasteners assembly doent show up in BOM but its members are shown with correct qty?Let me give an example, suppose 1234 is a Fasteners assembly consist of a bolt+ Nut+ 2Washers. Now I am bringing this assembly into another assembly lets say 5678. In 5678, I am patterning the 1234(assembly) three times, will it be possible in 5678 BOM to show 3bolt+3nut+6washers as individual lines with correct qty, but not to show 1234 fasteners assembly in BOM line of 5678. Thanks.

Is there way to control the representation in the family table? or Any way to control the subassembly in the top level assembly ? refer the attached image  i want to swap the instance of 020008946_Generic at top level MB000A014 thru top level family table. pls suggest.  Suggest an alternate way if the above listed options don't exists in Creo.  

Hi,I'm starting to use the welding module.I have a problem:I created three fillet welds, I try to combine them but I can only combine two, selecting the third one this message appears: "The groove/butt weld must be positioned higher in the Model Tree than the fillet weld."Has this happened to you too?Have you solved it?Thank you.P.S. I'm using Creo 9.0.2.0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0I am using AFX and i know there is an auto number and auto generating name for parts and assembly. Is there a way to have the Item number generator different for each profile type? I'd like to have in my assembly a naming scheme for parts like this:PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_01;PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_02;PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_03;PROJECTNAME_U_BEAM_01;PROJECTNAME_PIPE_01.Instead of actual naming scheme:PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_01;PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_02;PROJECTNAME_I_BEAM_03;PROJECTNAME_U_BEAM_04;PROJECTNAME_PIPE_05.

Dear friends,  I want to dimension drawing view , for these I need faces and edges from edges , please help me to get all edges and faces from solid body        

I would like to have a part that contains multiple simplified reps produce separate drawings for each rep and allow the titleblock parameter [&TITLE] to use the rep name rather than the part name.   Currently I have produced the drawings but they contain the same information in the title block.            

Hi everyone, I am wanting to create a family table that allows the user to pick from a list some options for features. Like, do you want 3 grooves on the face or only 2 grooves.  Our parts are just optional features that sometimes vary in size. I was looking at nested family tables but it doesn't seem like I can select an instance from the subfamily table in the main family table. Our parts are very simple and of the 10 features there are only 2-5 different variations which is why I am not worried about using a family table. Ideally I would like this to easily translate into a drawing so I am not having to put a lot of dimensions for each new drawing. I need one drawing per instance. Thank you in advance for the help!

I used the family table patternize instance feature to make several shafts that change with their length. I am making a drawing and I want to pull in and show the incremental value that the patternize feature used. Is there a symbolic name (like &dxxx) for this particular dimension? I've looked several places and can't seem to find anything.   

Hi Created cylinder in creo by using extrude, I need to use this surface in optical analysis, But when i click surface, just half of them selecting, for the other one we need to select with CTRL, But this is no good my optical simulation, Simulation software requires me just 1 clicking ,  How can built this part as a on single surface,        

With Creo 9 removing the deprecated Gtoldata API methods, it's not clear to me how to get all the same data points we were previously.It seems relatively clear how to replace the "has a specific symbol" methods like ProGtoldataDiameterGet() and ProGtoldataMatCondGet() by searching the value strings returned by ProGtolCompositeGet() for the strings returned by ProGtolSymbolStringGet(). However, I have no clue how I'm supposed to parse those value strings to get the same data provided by ProGtoldataPerUnitGet() and ProGtoldataProjZoneGet(). I would like specific instructions clarifying this for each return value of the deprecated methods.I also have many more specific questions the documentation didn't answer. Specifically:Is it true that ProGtolValueStringGet() returns the exact same string as the first value in the value array returned by ProGtolCompositeGet()?Is it true that the primary/secondary/tertiary strings returned by ProGtolDatumReferencesGet() are exactly the same as the firs

I'm looking for compatible versions of Visual studio to customize Creo Parametric 7.0.2.0 and confused that PTC articles are telling to use Visual Studio 2019 v142 but available versions under 2019 build are only 16 and above. Is it okay to use Microsoft visual studio 2019 v16 and above? Is it fine if I go for version 2022? 

I have not used the Thermal Mode of Creo Simulate and I'm struggling with this problem. I have a hot exhaust component that is heating a nearby pin joint and causing grease in the joint to leak out. There is a gap between the components of about 31mm so the only way for the exhaust to heat the pin joint is by convection and radiation. The exhaust is 300 degrees C and the ambient temperature is 0 degrees C. I want to determine how hot the pin joint gets after X amount of time, say 5-10 minutes. I don't know what the heat load is so I am trying to do this with prescribed temperature boundary conditions. I looked through the course viewer but didn't find anything that helped me with this problem. Is Creo Simulate even capable of doing this or do I need to go to Creo Flow Analysis? This is a simplified version of the model. I'm representing the exhaust with the yellow part. 

When I load one of the example project files, the tab will appear; however, any models of my own will not have the tab, and there is no option to make it visible either.I am launching Creo from the FloEFD executable in the start menu, and the Simcenter splash appears while Creo loads, so it is infact working. It just can't be used.   

CREO Version 7.0.4.0Win-10GPU: RTX A2000 8GBRAM: 24GB Within a newly created part-file, when I extrude a line or curve as a surface.- Upon completion the extrude is hidden- When I Un-hide the extrusion, it remains invisible on the part.What I've tried:- Reboot- Changing the following configuration settings (both in-session only, and added to config.pro)        - shade_surface_feat no        - style_surface_mesh_display on        - u3d_create_color_surfaces yes Not able to get surface models to show still. See video for creation steps. Thanks in advance for any ideas...(view in My Videos)
