Creo+ and Creo Parametric

hello all, i am using the simple repeat region method to create a family table in my assembly drawing.because of this i am using filters such as "&fam.inst.param.name == xxxxx" however, in my assembly, i have the same part file copy pasted 4 times (they make a square within my assy) and each instance of the assy has different instances of that part file. ex:assy-1 has part-A, part-B, part-A, part-Bassy-2 has part-C, part-D, part-C, part-Dassy-3 has part-E, part-F, part-E, part-Fassy-4 has part-G, part-H, part-G, part-H so if you notice, they have basically a top/bottom and side/side of the square for each assy instance.when i use the 2-d family table it comes out correct, looking like the example but in table form, but i want to use the simple table because i want to change the top row names. when i apply the filter like always, because the part file is named the same for all instances possible, i end up getting ALL 16 of the part instances for each compone

My mirror features in my sheet metal is not updating when I move my cutout in the sketcher. I noticed that there are plenty of threads mentioning mirrors not working, but what is the solution? is there a config file line that I am missing?

I have installed Creo 12 successfully on 2 machines but on one of the machines I get the errors below and the browser fails to work. Presumably the errors below is because the browser is not working.   Things I have tried already: Removed all config / UI files (Vanilla install) Reinstalled using an install script that worked on the same hardware Deleted the Creo Agent and Platform folders and replaced with folders from a known working install Performed a Windows Control Panel > Apps >PTC Creo 12 Platform Services > Modify > Repair I have Creo 9.0.9.0, Creo 12.4.0.0 and Creo 12.4.2.0 installed. Creo 12.4.2 works fine as far as I can tell other than the internal browser not working, but I do need it to be working.   Any other suggestions? This happened one other time and I had to reimage which I am really trying to avoid.  

Hello, how can I make the flexible parts used in snapshots appear in the drawings, for example, the different states of a spring depending on the positions of a mechanism? Thank you

I am using Creo SimulateNot able to retrieve Creo simulate files. Facing error. How can I resolve that ?

how can i run utility system window basically command prompt in creo 12 with mapkey its not happening with this latest version

Hi, I am trying to select multiple references (2 a surface and an edge of a part) when creating a datum plane. For some reason holding CTRL while selecting them doesn't work. I can select one or the either and it turns green but when I hold ctrl the surface turns orange for a sec but doesn't select. Could this be because I am using VMware Fusion on my Mac laptop. Is there a work around that I can do? I need to have two references to add a rotational offset for this plane. please help.  Thanks

Hi EveryoneI am using two separate detail files for two different config options:drawing_setup_file format_setup_fileWhen I create a new drawing, I get the following error in the Message Log:Error(s) in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 11.0\custom\ISO-prt-asm.dtl. See datafile.ers.  In datafile_error.txt, the error is:ERROR - C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 11.0\custom\ISO-prt-asm.dtl, line 2: Invalid value 'CALCULATED' for keyword 'text_height'.Note:Both detail files contain the same config option text_height.In ISO-prt-asm.dtl (used as drawing_setup_file), the entry is:text_height CALCULATED (Causing an error)In ISO-frm-prt-asm.dtl (used as format_setup_file), the entry is:text_height 3.5 (Not causing an error) OBSERVATION:If I changed the value of "text_height" from 3.5 to "CALCULATED", ISO-frm-prt-asm.dtl file is also making an same error I mentioned above. Software: Creo Parametric 11 Can Someone help me on this? Thanks.

Hello, everyoneWhen adding the "search_path" option in the Configuration Editor, if the path contains spaces, Creo+ crashes with a “fatal error encountered”. The crash results in EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. The Creo-generated traceback log file is attached for reference.Paths containing spaces are expected to be supported. This behavior worked correctly in Creo 7.0 and is consistent with PTC official documentation, where examples of "search_path" usage also include paths with spaces.In our environment, removing spaces from folder names is not a viable workaround, as we are using corporate directories managed via OneDrive, and the space is part of the root-level folder name.As a result, this issue causes significant difficulties when manually defining paths for multiple subassemblies (up to 10 in our case) and standard components. Since I work with multiple projects daily, repeatedly locating missing components is inefficient and negatively impacts productivity. I would l

We are planning to use some AAX extensions to our global licensses PROE_DesignEssG.Is that possible and how can that be achieved fo specific selected users. 

As the title says. I want to learn all the functions available to be used in repeat region filter and relation. The documentation here is very limited https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r12/usascii/index.html#page/detail/About_Writing_Relations.html#Arguable it's just the introduction to what the relation does. But does not give full details of what all functions are available. I've seen in my company people using much more advance relations to filter items in repeat region. I took the Creo authorized course some days back but sadly the instructor kept it just on high level and struggled to provide solutions for complex filters.How can I learn more on this, something that is comprehensive and all inclusive.

Hello, I have multiple points like this : And i would like to "visualise them" for a demonstration like this :  Is it possible ? Thans in advance

All, I have seen posts where family table instances cannot be deleted from Windchill when I delete entire table of the generic. Those deleted instances are still tied to the generic and cannot be deleted. I think I read something about purging the itterations below the latest version. Not sure how to do that. Anyone know how to get rid of these dead instances? I am thinking, maybe if I had the instances in session, then deleted the table, the saved each instance, that may have been the way to go? Wayne

Is anyone aware of any compatibility issues with Creo 7 (and/or later) on the new NVIDIA RTX 5000 Blackwell GPU's?

Hi everyone,  Almost every design and manufacturing company uses some parts that are created by cutting some stock material (pipe, hose, aluminium extrusion, etc.) to a defined length without any other machining or other processing. Of course there is no need or sense in creating drawings for these kind of parts because the drawing would only tell what material to use and what length to cut it to. At the moment our method for handling these is by first modeling the part in Creo with any way the engineer is used to and then creating a WTPart automatically during check-in. Next the engineer goes to Windchill and adds a stock material WTPart to the structure of the new WTPart and sets the quantity of the BOM row to match with the length of the model.  Here is an example of the resulting WTPart structure: This is not a great method because if the length of the part is changed, it needs to be updated in multiple places: Model, part name and BOM row quantit

I am trying to find a good way to set a collision or avoidance region away from my fixture. Is this even possible within creo, or is everything just set automatically? I know you can't add the fixture as a check surface in any of the operations because it isn't the reference model. So where exactly can you configure your fixtures avoidance regions?

Hi everyone, I have created a part with two bodies and assigned a material to each of them. Now I want to control the material or its density for one body using a parameter in the relationship.Is this even possible? And if so, how? Or can I only control the overall density? I use Creo 8.0

Hi Everyone,Software: Creo Parametric 11.0.5.0. I am working on Migration of Weblink to Creojs. Here I am having doubt in the Topic "Enabling Security Settings" mentioned in CreoJS User Guide.  In my WebLink code, when I opened an html file, I will receive the below PopUp.  But as mentioned in CreoJS user Guide(please see below image), I am not getting any popup for security settings(like shown in above image) in CreoJS.Can someone help me to achieve this? Note:In both Weblink and CreoJs, my html file will be called from local folder only.Example: D:\PTC\Weblink\test.html Thanks 

Hey everyone,I am facing the issue that every time I create a new part file, the units are set to imperial in the model properties (first picture). I have changed the configuration file, so metric units are set as a standard (second picture). However, this apparently does not work. Does anyone know, how to keep metric units as default?I am using Creo 12.4.0.0Thanks and best regards,Julian   

Where can I download this tool? I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find it. The furthest I have gotten is: ENGINEERING.com | File Downloads but when you launch the installation launcher it asks for a password... I can't find it anywhere else. Any ideas?

Creo VB API Type Library for Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0 Version 1.0Creo Parametric 9.0.0.2 The Creo API call toIpfcBaseSession m_session; m_session.ImportNewModel(filePath, (int)EpfcNewModelImportType.EpfcIMPORT_NEW_STEP, (int)EpfcModelType.EpfcMDL_ASSEMBLY, "temp", null);does not match the importing that I did by hand. I get the following error message (repeated for each feature as it tries to import the file, there are 155 features/bodies in the step file) which doesn't happen when I import the step by hand."Warning: Design intent is unclear in FEATURE_155. Use Geometry Checks command on the Tools Tab in Part mode for more information." Why does this method check design intent when opening the file through the UI doesn't? Full use case: I'd like to use Creo to apply boolean operations to STEP bodies. I've added all of these bodies to a single STEP file and would like to import it into Creo via the COM API using C#.Before getting into the code, I've conf

Just to start off, I do not believe this to be a bug or anything to do with Windchill, just that we noticed in the workspace browser. The user had changed one of their displays to something other than 100%. After that, the creo embedded browser started acting strange. The user reported that they could not click on the buttons on the toolbar, nothing was happening. This also might be related to multiple monitors, dragging the Creo session to another screen after the scale was changed to something other than 100%. Here is what I noticed: If you put your mouse over the icon, nothing. If you hovered your mouse lower and slightly right, the icon highlighted and you can click that empty space and the icon activates. Weird. Thanks to @Chris3 for cluing us in. I wanted to document for others since I could not find this in the support knowledge base.  Returning to 100% and restarting Creo seemed to resolve the issue. Kind of makes sense that something gets thrown off. Note the
