Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Creating a drawing of a large assembly. It has 60 items after I've used Flat/ Rec Item and Filters.But the list is sorted with assemblies first and then parts. The second sort order goes after the model names in numerical order.But I want to reshuffle the order so that I get the most important items FIRST (as number 1 and onwards) and the fasteners, screws, washers, nuts LAST. How is this done?  

Every time I boot up Creo Parametric, it reports error 0x06000012 and it shuts down. Something about being unable to run the quality agent. Any advice?    

Is it possible to create sub-sets of restricted parameters, so that the first parameter selected from a restricted list defines the restricted list for a second parameter?An example is tolerance standards for different processes.  Rather than have one long list of ALL tolerance standards (including e.g. die-casting, injection-moulding, sheet metal etc), is it possible to have a restricted list of Processes first, which then defines the second restricted list containing tolerances for the selected process only?Example in other words:First parameter - choose 'Die Casting' from the list of processes.Second parameter - choose from a list of standards only applicable to Die Casting.  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.1.0When I print a postscript file, Adobe Distiller leaves off ASME fonts from the drawing like diameter and degree. What font do I need installed?

Hey, I want to set tolerancing standard version to ISO 2018 but only ISO 2012 and  2017 are available in options, is there any file which can be downloaded to get the ISO 2018 standard?    

i have a big assembly that adds, removes and shapes parts based on the given parameters.(input in excel, most part numbers and dimentions are determened in the excel. this information is put in a tekst file which creo parametric model reads)  this makes it not possible for the file name to be the part number as it changes based on the inputthis part number is now in a parameter called PART_NUMBER to print all the drawings form ONLY the active parts and assemblys to pdf, i found i need to "remove not displayed" and then save the top assembly as a copy and have it copy the drawings with them. (to isolate only the active models drawings)then i can use the probatch thingy to print those isolated drawings to pdf for the new file names i need them to be the current value of the parameter PART_NUMBERi added the column PART_NUMBER next to the column "new file name" so i could manualy type it in.... (not ideal)i cant copy paste as it does not let me copy the number (guess it

We've recently switched to Creo 9 and as a result I'm constantly being told to switch my XCH type hatching to PAT. I do this, but there's something odd (to me) about how the patterns scale when I'm modifying them in a drawing. For example, I have two similar parts, with the same 1:1 scaling on their drawings. I would think that if I edit the hatching on both and set the angle and scale to the same value, they should look the same if the drawing scale is the same. That is not what I see on the two drawings. The sectioned view for the two parts contradicts what I'd expect, based upon what I see if I increase the "scale" value.   If I'm editing a hatch and increase the "scale", the spacing between the hatch lines increases. But in these two views, as you can see, the larger scale value is resulting in a smaller spacing interval for the lines. I guess my basic question is: What does the Scale value mean? It's evidently not scaled from the definition file, or whatever these are stored

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0We manufacture round tanks and need to use a feet-inch tape on the shop floor. Need a way to show the tank circumference in feet-inches on the drawing. We calculate the circumference using a relation formula and can only display the number in inches. How to display in feet-inches?

The offset lines in the parts tree cover a lot of space in assemblies. It takes a lot of scrolling up and down. All other elements of the tree can be grouped. Is there a possiblity to hide or to group the offset lines?

hello allwe are working since 2 weeks in Creo parametric 7  but our cad worker admin installed a Creo parametric 8 version for the cad worker.today we see some differences between what we have in Creo parametric 7 and the viewable made.see screenshotsif I open this drawing in Creo parametric 8 I can see also those modificationsquestions:  is there a config option to avoid this behavior on the cad worker? i tried :auto_clean_shown_dimensions noUSE_V19_CLEAN_DIMS no  also USE_V19_CLEAN_DIMS yeswithout results.seems related to flat  definition on sheet metal so what is different in creo parametric 8?thanks for your help  

The picture shows the "ears" I add to rectangular depressions in a part so that the fillet left by the milling cutter will be removed and I can bolt a rectangular part with sharp edges into the depression.  Is there some better way to handle this problem in Creo?  What do you do? As a footnote, we used to call a depression like the one shown, a "dap."  Is there a better term now in use?

Hello,I have a problem of surface finish with a volume rough.The previous operation leaves 0.2mm of stock (walls and bottom)  for the finish with my volume rough.  I choose a spiral toolpath and i have sharp edges between each trajectory segments. In the real world this create micro stops of the servos of my milling machine and a very bad surface finish.  So i decide to apply a radius with the option "Smooth_corner_radius = Max radius" and "Smooth_radius = 1" (End mill of 6mm diameter).The problem :The calculated trajectory miss some areas of my surface...Same problems with "constant_radius" and angle_radius" for "Smooth_corner_radius", smaller radius value and thinner "step_over". Some ideas ? Thanks in advance

The other day my (HAAS) machine crashed doing a G81 canned drill cycle. I'm not sure how to fix it, but I can't be the first to run into this issue.  Hopefully one of you can suggest a reliable way to fix this. Here is what happened: I had a G19 in the program which changed to the YZ plane.  But there were no circular movements in XY before the G81, so the post processor never added in a G17 code to change back to the XY plane.  When the G81 was called, the drill cycle happened in the YZ plane instead of XY, which crashed the drill.  Later, there was a circular movement, so the G17 code showed up there, but it was too late for my drill cycle. So apparently, the post processor doesn't realize that canned cycles are affected by the active plane.  Is there a checkbox for this somewhere?  Is there some better way to address this problem? Thanks for any help!

Hello,Every time i select "constant load" on a rough sequence, Creo add a at the start of each trajectory a ramping. It is not a correct arc but a succession of straight segments. The huge problem is that in practice, during machining my milling machine moves jerkily and vibrates enormously to follow all the segments. With other types of scanning, i do not have this problem, the cut start on the right Z position. (Volume milling with cst load option = same problem) Rough with cst load : Rough with "Follow contour or spiral" Any idea to remove this "ramping" ? Thanks in advance.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0Within the cabling module, wires are losing assigned colors seemingly at random.The spool colors are designated and the appearances are added to the appearance manager as they should be. (They are auto designated via spool parameters)May not be random, though I haven't been able to pinpoint a cause. The most recent time this has happened was after modifying the angle of a wiring node location. I was able to change ports on wires without issue.This has happened multiple times though I haven't found a reliable solution to fix this or a way to avoid it. Any ideas?

How to activate the model with Creo Object TOOLKIT C++, which function can be activated? 

Hi,   how can I assemble components to coordinates like x,y,z and Rx,Ry,Rz and set the constraint to fixed with the VBAPI? Do I need to use IpfcTransform3D? I can't get it to work. A different approach could be adding a coordinate system with such kind of coordinates and constrain the component to this csys, delete the constraint and set one to fixed.   I'd like to have the same functionality adding components like in the PDMLink structure tab and editing the coordinate values within excel for automating a huge assembly structure.   I have working code from the examples for assembling components to default or setting different constraints.   I would really appreciate it If you can you help memoving the components.   Thanks!David

Hi Guys, In desperate need of your Help. I want to setup Z-Axis to be vertical by default across Creo, But Y-Axis is Vertical.Right now using Config.Pro Option, Orientation set to Isometric. Also created a Custom CSYS with Vertical Z-Axis using the same to calculate CoG & Inertia and File Import operations.But every time I've to select this CSYS to consider it as reference and few users unaware of this unintentionally caused lot of issues. I want to setup Config.Pro Option, Orientation set to user_default. Can someone let me know what angles should I use for x_angle & y_angle to get Z-Vertical. Attached Images for your reference.

Can someone point me to a good explanation or youtube on how to change dimension schemes in Creo 9?For example, if it want to locate a crank-pin on the face of a cylindrical model, I would want the dimensions to by the diameter of the pin and the radial distance from the axis of the cylinder, not the dimensions to two planes.  It looks like there is some simple way to step the dimension set through the choices which will work. I is there a group of training videos here that I can access to learn some of these improvements? If so, where are they? Yes, I know this is a simple question, but.....

I have Creo 7.0.2 set up in a performance testing lab on a small local network, with no access to the internet.Creo is taking a long time to start up in this environment, 4x longer than any system I've tried with regular internet access. I suspect the slow launch is somehow related to the networking configuration, but I haven't found a solution.While Creo launches, I can see in Resource Manager that xtop.exe is attempting to access several external IP addresses...It tries to access different ports on these addresses, or slightly different addresses each time.It seems like the launch is slowed down waiting for these connections to time out. Quality Agent was disabled at install time.Antivirus and Firewall are disabled.License server is on the local network and accessible with <1ms pingI’ve tried disabled these Creo settings:File >> Options >> Window Settings >>Expand the browser during startupLet me know when a new version is availableI’ve tried the follow

We want to go Model Based Definition which also means having the drawings just display the dimensions and other annotations.But then from time to time, people create dimensions in die drawings.How to check for them? How to find them using ModelCHECK?It seems there was a check for this in the last century, but not in the version 8 or 9 of Creo Parametric...?Does anybody have an idea how to make ModelCHECK list/warn of dimensions created in the drawing? Best Regards

Hello,I want to save the AFX configuration folder on a network drive, so any user have the same configuration.I would also like to store the library centrally.How do I have to do it?We use Creo 9.Thank you for your help!

Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to round up the number with the function CEIL / FLOOR at hundreds.I only can round at the unity.Exemple I have 5900/6 = 983.333...I would like to set this value to 1000thank you for reading.
