Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I want to build a model of a circular plate with elliptical holes in it. The holes center coordinate and orientation data are in a .txt file. The center coordinates and orientation are random. Can I make this type of tabulated pattern in creo, please if possible help me out Circular plate radius is - 1024 mm Ellipse semi major - 30 mm Ellipse semi minor - 15 mm   I have attached the .txt file . first and second column is x and y coordinate and third column is orientation of major axis from x         

I have a program that updates drwing notes per regen.  If a note loses it reference I want to change color.   Theres a colorset function, but I am struggling to set up a ProColor datatype.   Does anyone have an example of setting up a ProColor datatype. ?      Thanks for any assistance.

Hello,I am new to creo and I was wondering if it is possible to make my datum planes not transparent anymore.Now if I select a plane just the border changes color. But I want the entire plane to change color.Can somebody help me?      

Hi all, I am new to creo I have a query on the drawing of view. I have projected a view from a parent view and have created a lot of dimensions. Now I just want to delete the parent view or make the projected view as a parent. Is there a way to do this? This is because if I delete the parent view then the projected view also gets deleted along with it. Thank you so much for your help in advance.   

Hello! We're using our custom jLink plugins in our Creo. One of them is creating/storing external data into model and the second plugin is reading the data from the model. It's working more-less properly with one exception: when there are no external data created yet and the first plugin creates them for a first time, they are not visible for the second plugin even after model Save/Refresh/Regenerate. They start to be visible even after model close and open again. In subsequent cases, when an existing external data are updated/extended, they are directly visible without need of model close/open. Does anybody observed such a behaviour and could help us how to make external data visible even after initial save? Thank you very much!Juraj   

After updating from Creo 4 to Creo 7, we are having problems when redefining sketched hole features.  The dimensions are stretched way out across the screen,  If you drag the dimensions and refit several times, you finally get back to the proper view.  Is there a config setting that I am missing that could solve this problem? 

Still getting familiar with all the settings in Creo.  I have an imported parasolid part that has SI default units, and I'd like to change the default units.  I figured out how to do it for new parts, but I can't figure out how to change the units for imported parts.  I can take measurements, but I would like to export the mass properties in U.S. units.   Is there a way to do this, or do I need to open a new model and import the parasolid into that .prt file? 

Hello All, I have been working on Fibersim with a Creo 3D model and whenever I try to get the plies I get a fatal error which indicated that a traceback.log file is created in my user folder and Creo parametric and Fibersim inmediately shut down. The traceback file cotains the following relevant information: Exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread 52700. Does anybody know how can I fix this issue? Thank you in advance     

Hello, I have a problem in Creo 7.0, when I try to import an IDF with some small components in it. I get a warning that asks me to change the sketch. I found where the problem comes, I need to use the inlbs_part_ecad_rel.prt not the inlbs_part_ecad_abs.prt template. I renamed it and it works very well.But I am looking for a cleaner way to use it.Is there an option in config.pro which allows to replace the inlbs_part_ecad_abs template into inlbs_part_ecad_rel when used for importation? I already tried template_ecadpart option, but no change. Thank you! 😊

 Dear community, I have trouble with 3D model creation.I have the location coordinates (x, y) of the 3D model, but it is complicated and too many to handle.Consequently, it takes a lot of time to draw the 2D profile.If we draw the 2D profile from its location coordinates automatically, it would be a great help.In addition, all models have a cylindrical shape. It would also be a great help for me if we rotate the profile on z axis automatically.Could anyone have an idea to do this? 

Creo Flow Analysis - How to input fan PQ curve

Wow, is it THAT time again?  Seems like this was first talked about back in...what, 2014 or so?  And STILL no fix?  Time to talk about how the notes that come from the hole feature are completely unusable out of the box.  We use decimal callouts for inch threads (i.e. .250-20 UNC-2B) in EXACTLY that format, verbatim.  And, of course, the callout you get gives you garbage that you can't use.  WORSE, and we just found this out, is that the ACTUAL GEOMETRY of the threads where the major diameter runs out to 4 places, are actually ROUNDED, i.e. .3125 gets rounded to .313.  Oh, even better, is the fact that you can't change this.  This, needless to say, is NOT to ASME Y14.6-2001 Paragraph 3.2.1.3 which specifies that these fractional threads like this that run out to 4 places are defined correctly, and that fractional threads that end at 3 digits have the zero as the 4th digit get that zero truncated.  Trying to modify the table file seems to do

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM030I have written utility for the Windchill- Creo Interaction.In between for some CAD objects having Generic is Yes or Instance is Yes. For those objects, Utility is giving some exception.So, I want to run my utility without Checkout and Check-In.Any API help please.Writing Utility behind is, I am moving one of the Attribute values to another attribute. Some migration issue, hence written it.

I have installed Creo 7.0.10.0 in new laptop. But when I launch Creo Parametric I'm getting 2 Windchill login windows. This was not happening before. I used to get one Windchill login window in the past.Could you some one help on this issue?   

HelloI create a part with a drawing I create a familly table and would like a drawing for each instanceDoes it possible to create this drawings  automaticaly?Thanks for your reply   

i have a model with a conduit and because of the virtual point it creates because of a goofy angle said point is way out in left field which influences the model size and then in the drawings it pushes my dimensions also way out into left field. is there a setting so the drawing dimensions ignore the model size? thanks 

Hi All, Not sure if this is possible in CREO but I was looking to pattern a feature between 2 planes, so if you change the instance it will adjust the spacing automatically. Not a complicated thing to calculate manually but was curious whether the software can do this automatically within the pattern feature.  TIA.

I have obtained CAD Creo4 data. So, I tried to open the data with our CAD Creo2 (M200), but it couldn't be opened.In this case, what should I do to open it with CAD Creo2?
