Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello  I am faily new to creo  i am using creo 7   I have an assembly and have defined a custom coordinate system origin in the assembly file   i am trying to get the center of gravity of a part in the assembly with respect to my "assembly" custom CS   What i am seeing is: 1) i can only open the part and get the CS of the part with respect to a CS "inside" the part file. or 2) i can get the CG of the whole assembly with respect to a custom CS.   both options are not what i need i need the CG of a part in an assembly with respect to a custom "assembly" CS any help would be greatly appreciated.  thanks       

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.1.0HelloI have created a block which has multiple simple hole.but when I tried to get the depth of simple hole in hole table , I am not getting any parameters to add to hole table format.( But If i create a any standard other hole ,I can see multiple parameters BUT NOT FOR SIMPLE HOLE)How can I add a depth of multiple simple hole in hole table with help of parameter'sArticle - CS44121<< THIS ARTICLE ANSWERS MY UESTION BUT NOT ABLE TO REPLICATED THE PROCESS

I am working to try and improve my companies Creo start parts and configuration.  One thing that annoys me terribly is the terrible Layer Scheme.  Engineers don't even bother using layers and the result is that I have to work with a spaghetti mess of datum planes, axes, and csys.  The layers are set by configuration option instead of by rules and I believe if they were set up by rules and easy to understand and use they would be much more manageable. Does anyone have any Creo Parts with Layer Rules they would like to share for ideas?  I remember working for a company that had an excellent rules scheme for layers.  I know there is no absolute best way for setting layer rules, but I would like to see some examples from the community to help make rules that are sensible and easy to understand.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150I am using the Animation Application to create animations and videos ofan assembly in motion using snapshots. I can generate animations usingsnapshots until I create gear connections in the mechanism application(there are gear to gear connections and worm gear connections). I candrag the components around with some lag, but when I try to generate ananimation those components affected by the gear connections do not move.Here are the errors that I facedN/A

I would like to revisit this for Windows 11.  Windows 11 doesn't have the cascade function anymore. the box that says "The server is currently unavailable. Do you want to switch to offline mode?" is over the box that is needed to select retry. This window can't be moved... how do i get to the window behind?   RE: post

Hello everyone, I just started created harnesses with creo schematics -> parametric (cabeling module) -> HMX.Overall its works fine with only small issues, but there is one thing which is not working for me. It's splices. The question is, how to properly define it at beginning in Schamtics, so it will load properly in Parametric and in drawing using HMX? Typically in Schematics, I use splices as branch ends so it's attached automatically (picture 1) when I route fibers. Type I'm using is component;splice. In parametric, I insert splices into assembly through insert component command, and I set the type on SPLICE. Fibers rooted in this fashion looks exactly how I want to, but sometimes its also little bit buggy. This setup works, in HMX there is only one bug..... there are always 2 cavity tables for 1 splice. If I have 2 splices in my design, I will get 4 tables in total. How should the design of a Splice look in general? is there some good practice?F

Good morning All, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to create a parameter that shows the qty of each components within an assembly?  Right now, I have a relation that creates a parameter for each components FN.  This is done at the part level, and when I create my drawings, I have a mapkey that selects the part, adds it to the drawing, and puts &FN in the balloon note.  Right now, I manually add an offset note for the qty of each component.  This can not only be tedious, but also can result in human error if the qty is mistyped, the qty is changed in the assembly, etc.  My problem is, I'm not sure how to tie a components qty back to the part..  I know I can create a repeat region and then call qty with a custom symbol, but I'd like to avoid having to add a table off the face of the drawing for each assembly.  What I want might not be possible... but I figured I'd reach out and maybe one of you gurus can point me in the right

Hi, how do I access DpiAwarenessContext.exe Properties? I'm having similar issues with my display in Creo, but I'm not a computer person, so I have no idea what you're talking about.   Thanks   RE: post

I am currently using Creo 8.0. When I use the USE EDGE  tool on a drawing it only lets me select 3 or 4 lines any more and it deselects everything. Is there a setting to change this? 

Certain bends of a sheet metal part will take different angles depending on if it is pre or post installation. I want to model and draw both states.  I don't want a family table as this will create two part models when in reality there is only one part. I tried simplified reps. I modeled the pre-installed state, then an 'unbend' feature, then add new bend features to set the installed angles. I planned to use simp reps to enable/disable these features as required. However, I'm unable to add new bends in the same location as unbent ones. Any ideas how I could tackle this would be appreciated. 

Hi,  I would like to make a new subassembly in the end of my model tree of top assembly. And I want to copy some of the components from top assembly to that new subassembly (just to pick the components I need to run some analysis) and than exlude it from top assembly. The top assembly is really big almost 2000 components and my current steps look like this: - Hide the components I dont need- Choose part filter - Choose all the components I can see (components I need)- And right click and Copy - Paste into new subassembly  But the problem is that I cant copy all the components (or dont know the way how to do that), but only one and its really non effective way ?  Do you know how to do that more effective ?  Thanks

How should I start this I keep getting a square edge.             

In a part, the scroll wheel zooms in/out using the mouse pointer location as the centerpoint.  For assemblies, it ignores the pointer location and just zooms in to the center of the assembly, so then I have to pan over to what I want to focus on.  Is there a setting for this?  Thanks!   

Using the spiral tool and the threat geometry from the standard. In addition to that start and end of the thread are always not realistic.    

Hello, I'm currently working on Excel macro that connects to current session (drawing) and extracts data.I managed to get it so far that it extracts dimensions (names and value) but i just can't get a correct procedure to get the dimensions upper and lower tolerance. The only thing i was able to obtain is tolerance type with ipfcdimension2D.GetTolerance(). Is there a method to get upper and lower tolerance somehow? Greatly appreciate the answer!Klemen    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.2.0I am working on MBD models. I have predefined combination states in Start templates. We kept those states off from view manager. I have 1_Map combination state where it contains hyperlinks of other combination states to navigate through others. If I want to navigate through other states from 1_Map when other states are still off, then Creo is getting freeze. Please help to resolve this.

Hello. I am trying to make a drawing table for weld information that has all of the weld information for the entire assembly including sub-assemblies. When I create the table in the main assembly the table is only populating the information from that main assembly and not the sub-assemblies. Any help on how I can accomplish this would be appreciated. Attached is a pic of what I got. Notice the annotations are there for all of the welds but the table only has the 10 welds from the main assembly. there is also duplicate IDs due to the sub-assembly welds. ThanksJoe  

Hi, Is there a way to control the number decimal places of Creo default bend note angle and bend radius through config or detail files instead changing them manually one by one? please assist. Refer attached image for the targeted bend note (our current standard). Bend Radius with 3 decimal and angle with Zero decimals.  

There is no way to check node ids for meshes that are not in FEM mode. When I output the results of modal analysis in ASCII, the node IDs and mode vectors in the XYZ directions are output, but there is no way to confirm where these node IDs point in the model. (Mechanica had a way to check) Isn't it strange that CreoSimulate can't do what Mechanica does? What is the meaning of output files of modal analysis results such as ~.d01 and ~d.02? ---------------------------- FEMモードではないメッシュの節点IDを確認する方法がありません。 固有値解析の結果をASCIIで出力すると節点IDとXYZ方向のモードベクトルが出力されていますが、これらの節点IDがモデルのどこ指すのか確認する方法がありません。（Mechanicaでは確認する方法がありました） MechanicaではできたことがCreoSimulateではできないというのはおかしくないですか？ ~.d01、~d.02などの固有値解析の結果の出力ファイルには何の意味がありますか？  

Good afternoon. Hoping for some help to resolve this. When I am using the model weld annotations in the drawing, they have the leader line right through the center of the text as well as overlapping text. The annotation looks fine on the model. I assume this is a drawing property setting but I have been through them all and can't figure it out. Picture attached. Appreciate any help. Joe
