Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am currently working on a mechanical flower where I will use a linear motion to create a radial motion from 0 to 90 degrees. The linear motion will be 40mm from a crankshaft and I am now having problems designing the rack and pinion. Is there any easy way to calculate or think about how the degrees and distances should be between the gears? I have done some research but have not found an easy way to calculate it and I would like some input on my current design. Right now I have the problem that the further the pinion moves upwards the more problems I get (see pictures). I would highly appreciate any help with this problem! Thanks in advance.     

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM1401 user has an issue with Creo-Windchill connectivity stability. It happens, when working with Creo, that Creo looses the connection to Windchill. The user is then asked to enter his credentials again, but these are not accepted. The user is then unable to get the connection again. restarting Creo doesn't help. The only solution found so far is restarting the computer.Please advice how we can investigate this issue. So far we have not been able to establish a sequence to reproduce this issue.Here are the errors that I facedWindchill connection lost. User must login again but user account/password is not accepted.

I am using Creo Elements/Pro Release 5.0 Datecode M070I am a new user and I am working on a assembly print and I am having some difficulty displaying (what I believe to be) the top level assembly.My current BOM displays every component that is used in that final assembly. The final assembly is composed of individual components as well as a another assembly. There is an interesting note: my table does not display the name of my sub-assembly (only the components that used in that assembly). My current repeat region table attributes are: No Duplicates, Recursive, Bln by Part, No Cbl Info. This is how the table displays:Item number (4) and (5) belong to a sub-assembly named 1F-SOMB-14-1-S. On this BOM, the sub-assembly 1F-SOMB-14-1-S is not listed.I have performed some searches on this website and on the PTC.com knowledge base and I changed my attributes from Recursive to Flat. The results were not what I expected. Items (4) and (5) were simply removed from my table even though I did not r

This is a question that will apply for some of our customers that use a master-image based IT-infrastructure (cloud, vm, deployed machines). Would there be a way to prevent the update from being executed for a certain group of users, so that admins could update the master-image when doing other updates and patches?  

to allin CREO 7 SImlive, is it possible to default the stress unit to MPa ? kPa is rather annoyingI am also looking for the option to have MPa in the 'simulation report. ThanksRegardsJohn

I am trying to add config setting "proj_view_note_format" in my config pro file and getting below error. I found this setting in ".dtl" file. Any idea to add this setting in my config.pro?    

As shown in the picture above, I have no problems creating fillet welds and bevel groove welds when parts butt together as shown in the attachment.   But I can't get it to add a bevel groove weld when 2 parts "tee" into each other. If you reference the picture you can see that I had no issues with creating the edge prep for this weld. But I can't get it to create the bevel groove weld for the parts that "tee" together. Using the "location" tab I think I've selected every combination of surfaces and edges but still having problems.   If anybody has some helpful advice please let me know.   Thanks, Steve

I'm running a Structure Study in Creo Ansys and it will complete the Mesh and Solve, but will not complete the Results. It is stuck at 0%. Does anyone have a detailed solution of how to fix this issue that they are willing to share?Thanks. 

I've got an Excel add-in that I created that used to work with CREO 4, and when upgrading to CREO 7, it now crashes both programs to desktop with no error displayed. I've updated PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE and PRO_DIRECTORY. I've run the batch files. I've tried changing PRO_DIRECTORY in case it is not updated correctly to several other options, and it throws a different error so I'm ruling that out since what I assume is correct causes the crash. Are there any tips as to what is causing the hard crash? This is occurring for several users that used to use the Excel add-in but have updated to CREO 7.This occurs not only on code that was previously working, but also on the examples in the VB API document. 

Hello, everyone. I tried to assemble the components with a matrix through the function "ProAsmcompAssemble()". I found that some matrices could be assembled successfully, some matrices could not, and the matrices themselves were correct. For example <matrix_1> cannot be assembled, it will return "PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS".ProMatrix matrix_1 = { { 0.707107, 0.707107, 0.0, 0.0 },{-0.707107, 0.707107, 0.0, 0.0},{0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0},{33.2321, 64.3448, -130.0, 1.0} }; The following matrix <matrix_2> can be assembled successfully,ProMatrix matrix_2 = { {1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0},{0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0},{0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0},{0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0} }; I don't understand why this is, how to solve this problem, can someone tell me? Thanks!

I imported an assembly and now the components are "fixed" but I want to move a sub-group of them to another location.  Doing "edit definition" I can move a single component using the dragger.  But I have several (hundred) to move so doing so one by one isn't appealing.  I guess I can restructure the ones I need to move into a sub-assembly, then move the subassembly with the dragger, and then restructure out into the parent again, but seems tedious.   I found this menu under component operations:     and the transform tool looks like it takes me through all the steps needed to make this move (simple translate along the principal coordinate axis) - yet nothing happens...   Am I missing a step?  Or is there another better way to do this? 

Is there an option to export the exploded views from a model to a 3D PDF?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.3.0I want to load the fastener library in Creo 6.0.3.0.

When using Creo 4.0, if I am working on a drawing and want to open the part file for that drawing that resides in the same directory, I thought Creo would look in the same directory as the drawing file that I have open. Now it seems like I automatically go back to the working directory. Is my memory defective or is there something I changed in the Config file that is causing this?  

Hi,We change our view projections and toggle from 1rd angle projection (Europe) to 3rd angle projection (US).To avoid mistakes, (of course symbol in Title block is changed) we want to add the name of the projected view under each drawing view.The config option: make_proj_view_notes = YES , do it automatically.But: the view name is the default name, and the system write the view name twice as shown in picture.It seems not possible to define the option to write a view name only one time, but always twice "view_name-view_name"Users need to manually correct it.Did someone use that option "make_proj_view_notes = YES" and how do you manage that please?Thanks.(Creo Element Pro Wildfire 5.0)

In the assembly after enabling the Show popup view from the model tree settings, While hovering the mouse cursor on any of the components in the model tree Creo shows the thumbnail of the part. Which shows the message (Click the image for a 3d view) Earlier updates of the Creo like in Version 7 after clicking on the image will get the 3d lightweight preview in the mini windows which is a useful feature for many customers. Now we are unable to get a 3d lightweight preview of the component geometry in Creo 9.       

I have an assembly with over 1000 components, and I must read the entire structure  (all level sub-assemblies and parts).  But then, during the read, the Creo runs generate at every level.  The overall structure read goes beyond 15 minutes.   And there are cases I have to parse Assemblies beyond 1000 components, which makes it impractical to use the custom program. Is there a way to disable generate programmatically during the assembly read?  Example: subComponents = currentComponent.ListFeaturesByType (False,                                                                                                                           &n

I have a question related to projection views, usually we can project side views from parent view and place along the projected axis (move freely along the projected direction). Is there any ways to limit the movement of projected views, like i don't want projected view move opposite direction to the projected direction and placed other side of the main view. This will make wrong angle of projection.  

Hi!I am working on a school project where we are using surface modeling to create a hair dryer suitable for injection molding (We are and have to work in Creo 4.0, just fyi). I decided to go for a more advanced modeling method where I make a boundary blend towards a projection on a complex "pane"/surface (as can be seen in image below). I use a ribbon as a tangent for the boundary blend, I create the ribbon with sketches and curves. The splines in the sketches are tangent to a horizontal center line, while the curves are tangent to axis that are perpendicular to the vertical plane. I do the same for the for the handle (see below).I then merge and thicken this. I use the top-down approach to make the back half referencing the relevant points of the front half. Lastly to my point and my issue, the thicken (even tough all boundary blends uses tangency to ribbons that where created with sketches and curves that are constrained in such a manner that they are perpendicular to the vertic

I'd like to make a parameter have more than one value. I know this would only cause problems for most applications and may not be possible.  Here's what I tried doing and how it failed:CALLED_FROM = "2" AND CALLED_FROM = "3"errorExtra symbols found - ignored.CALLED_FROM = ["2", "3"]errorRelation has an error.   

I want to create a curve from datum points. To do this, I have imported the datum points offset as a table and created the curve that way. Now I want to automate this process so that I can re-import the points every time I need them and update the curve automatically. Is it possible to import the points table using PRO/Program?     

Morning all.At my place of work we are running Creo 8.We are still in the early days of setting it up correctly.I want to save the config.pro file on the network so that all our users accounts point to same same location so that we all use the same configs - at the moment they are on peoples C drives. I cant seem to find a way to do this.Can anyone advise please? Thanks.
