Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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?  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.3.0go to add assembly to workspace and receive "Server error: Cannot retrieve family table neutral data"Items do not show up unless i start removing family table items from browser workspace.Here are the errors that I facedServer error: Cannot retrieve family table neutral data"

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

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeF000I'm trying to make a .frm to use as a base sheet for multiple drawings. There is a section where some data will be manually input like height, weight, and length, and I'm trying to find a way to make other squares on the table auto spit out the metric version of the input data.For instance, I would manually input 50 (in) into the length and the table auto fills the square next to it with 1270 (mm).Alternatively, if set up parameters so the table would grab the weight (lbs) and then auto calculate the weight (kgs).I get that I need to use relations to do this but I'm unclear on how to do the relation.Thanks in advance.

I have been having issues with long regeneration times when I regenerate an assembly window or try to make changes/suppress. This occurs even when all parts/subassemblies are locked, I have auto_regen_views off and enable_auto_regen off. My coworker does not have this issue when working in the same assembly.      

when the user launches creo illustrate 7.0 is ask for the license path. The path is in there and correct however when you hit save it just keeps the license screen open and never launches the program.If i right click Creo Illustrate and select run as admin and put in my admin credentials the program launches without issue.Local users do have modify rights to the PTC license folder.    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0How set in Creo Parametric values for PPRINT parameters (for example):PLUNGE FEEDRATE & UNITSCUT FEEDRATE & UNITSRETRACT FEEDRATE & UNITSFREE FEEDRATE & UNITSAre these parameters set automatically by the values assigned in each NC sequence of feeds, or can they be assigned for each CNC sequence to the user, regardless of the feeds used?

Trying to save an assembly to a network file share "Working Directory". There is a library that holds some of the components for the assembly here - C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.2.0\Common Files\ifx\parts\prolibrary. When I save, I get the "error writing file, check disk space or write permission". No disk space issues, have read/write access to the network location. If I remove the local library parts, the assembly saves. What is causing this?

Hi, I would to mantain the visibility of a component in all the drw views, during I am hiding the componet in 3D model.How can I do this? Best regards. Michele Barile
