Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi, I'm trying to create internal end caps on a framework assembly I generated using AFX. I'm used to being able to do this in SolidWorks (see documentation) but I can't find the equivalent in Creo - can someone please show me where I'm going wrong? Does this exist in a different menu?The closest I've found is the 'New Equipment Element', but this only generates external end caps and with a chamfer, not a radius. I'm expecting the tool to grab the radius from the RHS profile definition and able to be set internal/external dynamically.I've tried setting the 'T' parameter negative to achieve something similar but to no avail.Any help will be much appreciated, thank you!

I have to export DRW file to AutoCAD DWG format with certain layers as per customer specs. For example, all solid (continuous) lines have to be on Main layer, all axes an on Axis layer, hatches on its own layer etc.I have been trying to figure out the easiest way to do this by exploring two avenues: intf_out_layer and intf2d_out_dxf_mapping_file values.First case: intf_out_layer is NONE and intf2d_out_dxf_mapping_file values is not assigned (or it is using default Creo values). In TXT layer I placed all dims, notes and everything else that has text. Note how view lines were not selected. I am not sure what filter I should use for it. I also made TXT-TABLE layer to filter out tables.After purging DWG file I got this:All solid lines are under 0 layer, hidden lines are under Default2 and view line is under Default3. I will get to case intf_out_layer part_layer later because it also has issues I cannot resolve.Is there a way to filter continuous lines on one l

Is it possible to define a color from appearance.dmt to a specific material in the .mtl file itself? I want all parts made from SAE J995 Grade 5 to be a certain color. Is there an entry that can be put in the material file to change the color when the material is assigned?  

With a row selected within the point by "offset coordinate system” featurepress “s” to activate a mapkeyprompted “select a point in the model”select point in modelThe mapkey will then update the XYZ values for that row from the reference datum to the point that was selected in the model Notes: It will not be linked, if the point in the model changes the user will have to run this tool again to correct the points location 

Hello dear members, Can someone help: How to know if any joint operation is performed on Framework profile part or not? Model tree doesn't show that information. Thanks

Our users are finding that managing the current dtl (in drawings and models) to be cumbersome. For instance, adding dual dimensions to a drawing. A more accessible, user friendly dtl GUI would go a long way for users to manage their drawing specific settings.   Thanks!

I have weldment drawings that have had cosmetics erased. I wish to show welds in these views again.    The "unerase cosmetic" option does not appear when I right click - even when on the Annotate tab.    There doesn't seem to be a layer that has these cosmetics in it that I can show for the view. The welds are displayed as surfaces if that makes a difference.    Any ideas? 

whenever we use Proselect() function .. Creo will trigget auto dialog at right top corner..but user want to change location to middle of the window.Also sometime this dialog goes backside of current active window..Is it possible to set dialog panel at center of window 

When using ANSYS Simulation, I am able to solve the model fine.  The results show a green check mark.  When I plot a result, the color legend shows up.  However, the contours do not plot on the part being simulated.  In addition, when I click on "display mesh", the part changes from a shaded solid body to a wireframe.  The elements do not plot.Can you help me figure out how to get the e

Hi, I would like to simulate in Creo 4 the mechanical stress and deformation of a thin-walled tube under an internal gas pressure.I am having problems finding the best constraints for the results that I want.Ideally, I would like to constrain the tube around its central axis. So that the resulting deformation of the tube wall is axi-symmetric around the tube central axis.But I can't find a way to constrain the tube around its axis. The only contraints that lead to some results (although not the ones I want) is to use the (flat) starting surface of the tube.If I use the 'Planar' constraint (or Z = fixed, X and Y free) I get stresses that seem acceptable, but the deformation is wrong and not axi-symmetrical.If I fix the surface in X,Y and Z, I get a result, but as expected, the deformation is 'weird'.If I constrain as a 'Pin', that does not work. 

is there any  toolkit API to save a copy of snapshot(.png) formatbecause when i try to export using ProRasterFileWrite (PNG) format output will be black shadow .. but i need image as like in window 

Note behavior in Creo 8.0.6.0. We are trying to get our notes to display embedded sybols as they did in Creo 4. Creo 8 shifts the note text based on the portion of the symbol used. The flag not defines the flag and note numbers. Any suggestions?  

Hi,I study at the University and  the topic of my diploma thesis is to create a generator of shafts in Creo (something like in Inventor).I´ve already made a program in PRO/Program:It is possible to create a cylinder/cone shaft with features (groove, axis hole and champfer on both sides).Now i need to make an aplication in MATLAB. For that, I need a text file of program. But there is a problem because I can´t input a text file in Creo. So there is my question : How can i input a text file into Creo to be possible to create a model of shaft. I´ve got a student version of Creo.Thanks for anwers. 😄    

I am new to the office and I just started learning about the style tool. I try to press shift so that the curve grabs the contour line of my solid geometry, but sometimes it works and I get a cross, but sometimes it seems not to work and I only get a small circle. Does somebody maybe know why sometimes it manages to grab the contour line of the solid geometry, and sometimes it does not? I attached pictures of a block which I am working on as an example, where on the right side, it worked, and I get a cross, whereas on the left side, it did not work and I only get a little blue dot. I also noticed that sometimes the references appear in the background in an orange color, and then you can use them, but sometimes they do not, and I do not know what this behaviour depends on. Does somebody maybe have experience with this? Thanks a lot for a response!     

Are we able to turn off the bubble around our bill of material call outs? Option to put it on a non print layer or hide the bubble.The parent company we work with is asking us if this was an option in creo.Or if we could add it to an enhancement request item for future creo drawing release.We understand how the leader is tied to the circle entity for auto relationships.But would like to turn that puppy off during times  we need more space for callouts.    

Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to create a hole table containing only the diameters and corresponding labels? I looked online but the only mention of something similar was this post (https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Custom-hole-table-to-auto-output-custom-data/td-p/536880) from 2018 which didn't conclude with an answer. I am looking to create the same type of table (Lettered holes referring only to the diameter, as our punching department prefer the dimensions to be visible on the drawing itself- but having a diameter call-out  on every hole makes our drawings very messy) and ended up doing it manually as I couldn't find a solution. The below image is what I was hoping to achieve automatically with a hole table. Manually checking and entering all of the dimensions is very time consuming, especially on our more complex parts.  I did consider a repeat region in a regular table based on the suggestions in the other post I linked

I want to place a symbol positioned on the upper line of my drawing title block, which is in a frame (A4,A3 ...)But it seems Impossible to catch the upper line of this title block to snap with the position origin-point of the symbol. Is there any solution to position this symbol exactly on my title blocks?  

Hey guys, I really need your help on this.I'm using CREO by a whole server created by H.O. so excuse me for having not much information.I'm trying to use the AFX system so I went looking for it in the community.1. I tried the reconfigure.exe but It seems H.O. somehow prevented other people from changing the configuration. So I couldn't find out if  the license actually exists.2. I went through the installation directory and found out in Common_Files there IS an AFX folder.     I'm curious even if we don't have the license, can the folder be created?3. I tried going into the option and checked that afx_enabled's value is yes. But when I go to the ribbon menu actually there's nothing showing. Is it the H.O. that's not giving the license for AFX, or are there any different solutions that I don't know?  

I have been having an issue with regeneration of only certain assemblies.For some reason whenever I activate a window of a large assembly that my coworker created in a folder it has long regeneration times (it doesn't do the same for him). But when I open an even larger assembly created in another folder, that has similar components, the regeneration time is instant. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this?   

OK, limitations 1. Why do I have to carry out a fatigue analysis on a whole assy?- There is a file containing stress results by part/volume region- One could carry out a fatigue calulation with the stress results from a single node by hand but it is lazier to use software (and less human error probably)- I suppose I could fiddle with the results files and make my own up. The software would be unable to tell the difference bewteen one I create and a 'real' one. 2. Why can't I select a contact analysis?- There is a file containing stress results by loadstep.- Ok, ignore contact stresses but why not be able to go the the final loadstep automatically- Yes I know it's non-linear, But sometimes we need to be pragmatic engineers. Again, I suppose I could fiddle with the results files and make my own up. 3. What 'location', 'label(s)' would you use for this? What message tags would you create?   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 3.0 and DatecodeM090A couple of our engineers are having problems with opening and modifying models and drawings without Creo crashing. It happens with everything they try to open. Another engineer and I have tried opening one of the same models & drawings and it works fine for us. One of the engineers has had crashing issues off & on for some time. I have a traceback.log file and the trail.txt file she sent me from the last crash.Here are the errors that I faced-------------------------------------------------The trace creation timestamp is: Wed Feb 08 15:45:26 23The executable build timestamp is: Thu Mar 24 06:14:53 16The datecode is: 2016050The pro machine type is: x86e_win64The process ID is: 20292The traceback type is : CRASHThe logger exit status is: 00003The release is: 3.0The external datecode is: M090The product title is: Creo Parametric-------------------------------------------------Exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred

Did you find a solution to this?I'm experiencing the exact same situation .    RE: post

I use this functionality often, but I can't find how to get to it.  OK, that sounds funny, but I access it with a very old mapkey that enacts the old cascading menus.  How do you access this using Creo 9 menus?  As a secondary question, how do you access the cascading menus without an old mapkey?

This is a basic example of how to use the vbapi toolkit for PTC CREO PARAMETRIC (version 9.0.2.0). This also has an example of how LabView does the equivalent of a VB.NET " typecast " to parent and child objects in ActiveX using Variant To Data. Detailed documentation of the interface is installed with the Creo vba tookit at C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo X.X.X.X\Common Files\vbapi
