Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.2.0Our company use Lemoine RTM to machining blocks, currently we are using creo 7.0 to design and export stp files to shop floor.it works fine when we load igs file in Lemoine RTM , but now we switch from igs file to stp file.stp file contains solid block model with 3D surface on top. usually we created a layer named 999 to keep 3D surfacethe solid block needs to be colored in grey(the only option we can do is select part and put grey color to ensure Lemoine shows grey), for stp file layer999 is disappeared in Lemoine RTM.I tried to remove all color in creo proe and export as stp file, it works but not what we want. hope we can solve this issue with your help, appreciate all.let me know if you need more detail about this issue,

I am a former high school educator (just resigned 2/3/23) and I am making the transition to an engineering firm. I had downloaded the trial version of Creo to brush up on my CAD skills but my trial is about to run out in 5 days. I got notice from my new employer that I will be working remotely for another couple of weeks. Is there a way to extend the trial version of Creo so that I can fill my time until they get my work issued laptop with Creo installed? Any help is a much appreciated!  

Any help to get my BOM to sort as expected would be appreciated.  I have the following  &asm.mbr.purchased Backward&asm.mbr.fabricated Backward&asm.mbr.part_number Forward but the part numbers are not going in order. CREO 7.0.6.0 

Hello,I use CREO 8.0 parametric for the creation of large assembly, more than 500 parts and the 2D drawing of these assemblies, not renderization and simulation.  I would like to know if AMD's latest GPUs, such as the RX 7900 XT, are compatible with CREO 8.0 parametric. Is it better, for my use, opt for a professional version, RTX Quadro A4000 instead or take a non-pro version such as the RTX 4070ti? Thank’s   

I’m relatively new to the option file generator (1 year). I’ve been using creo (pro engineer) for 25 years.I’m using #14 fadal VMC15 profile. I found that for a G18 (X-Z) plane certain G2 and G3 gcodes are mixed up when I export the tool paths.The rest of the gcode maintain the proper coordinate system direction. If I test the gcode with https://ncviewer.com/ the circles will show up upside downSo I’m looking for a setting that will swap G3 output for G2 output eventually switching the direction of the Y axis in the XZ plane (G18) I tried checking in/off the CIRCLE/cmd translation – among others with no avail. Any help/suggestion is appreciated. thank you! 

Hello, how do I prevent that pvagent.exe popup?Another user doen't get this but he has alos Creo installed, not just Creo View BRMichael 

hello everyone！My problem is that there are two components in an assembly , the component "A" has a square body, and the component "B" has a cylindrical quilt . Like the following picture.I want to use Creo Object TOOLKIT or TOOLKIT to use the quilt of component B as the cutting reference to create a curing feature in component A, and the cylindrical quilt of component B to cut the solid of component A.The final effect is as follows. I tried to fill the Solidify element tree with the pointer of quilt, and then use the "wfcWSolid_ptr" of component A creates the feature, but the creation failed because the solidify feature has no reference quilt. If anyone knows how to use B's quilt as a reference to create the curing feature, or how to successfully create the feature, please tell me the specific method, thank you very much！

I've searched everywhere for an example of this, and am coming up zeros. The only thing I've found is this article:  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS148500... and it doesn't work at all. (The "session" object isn't even instantiated in the example).Here is what I'm doing: ' Dim statements ' connection stuff ...... Set oModelDescriptor = oModelDescriptorCreate.Create(ModelType, ModelName, Null) Set oModel = oSession.RetrieveModel(oModelDescriptor)...blah blah...' do some stuff All of that ^ works fine, as I can read/set parameters, etc. I can also read the current material with this: ' get material If oModel.Type = EpfcModelType.EpfcMDL_PART Then Set part = oModel Set material = part.CurrentMaterial .Cells(iRow, colOriginalMaterial).Value = material.Name End If But I'm not having any luck at all setting a new material. I'm trying something like this, but nadda (oModel is set earlier in the procedure): ' Set material Dim part As IpfcPart Dim material As IpfcMaterial

I'm trying to create 3d contacts with curves, created with the spline tool in sketch/extrude. Is there other ways to create curves that work with 3d contacts? I'm using Creo 7.0, so would that be available in newer versions? is there a different way to get the same properties of the 3d contact tool?  Any help is appreciated.   

Is there a way to get usable image data out of a .tx3 file using the Creo 8 object toolkit?  this proprietary image file type is not usable outside of Creo, so i'd like to be able to pull out RGB values and any bump information if possible... 

Hi everybody. To show the problem I have I'd need to upload the assembly. How can I do that? I'm trying to make a pipe connection between two parts but when I finish with the sweeping the tube stays as green-dotted lines    

When trying to start WildFire 4.0 I get the following error.How can I run WF4 against Creo license server?  

I work on a pretty big creo\windchill network. When our "librarian" updates a family table (say, adds a screw) on "the network", I have a "screw" from that family table in my assembly, I update my workspace and update in session, the screw(s) from that family table that I have in my assembly revert to the generic of the family table. The only way to get back the instance I have placed is to close everything that uses that family table, erase not displayed and reopen my assembly. Which sometimes is a pain, with bigger assemblies. This has happened for quite a while now. I am sure it is not this version of Creo or Windchill, it predates the current versions we are using. Maybe there is a setting we have that is not saving family tables correctly? Frustrating. Thanks for any help. --James Windchill: Release: 11.1 M020-CPS26Creo: 8.0.5.0

Is there a way to install creo 9 to 22 network pcs for students? I have the latest from https://www.ptc.com/en/products/education/free-software/k12-educator/thank-you  but it seems I would need to manually install this on all the pcs  

Hi,How do you automatically show model or assembly annotation feature note (General Notes) that won't be tied to a drawing view when creating new drawings?I basically want the note contained in the annotation shown in the image below to be automatically shown on the drawing format in the upper left corner as general notes when a user creates a new part or assembly drawing.  Currently you have to change to the annotate tab, expand the feature tree, pick the annotation note, right click and click show for every drawing that's created.Would there be a way to show this annotation at the format level or in a drawing template so that it's automatically shown when a new drawing created? Thanks for any help you can provide,Don A

Can we create a Part file(.Prt) using 2 Different parts from backup with Assembly positions control using Multibody option.   example: I have two different parts Models created in creo as two seperate parts, But I need to create as a single Part file. Can we create using Multi body option? If so, how we can be able to bring geometry to a part file with parametric.      

We are experiencing a new issue where the Print Screen button used to trigger Techsmith SnagIt does not work  when Creo is the active application. It used to work flawlessly, but recently stopped working. Its not a change in Creo because we have not updated Creo in 6 months Its not a change in SnagIt because we have not updated SnagIt in months (IT controlled) My best guess is a change introduced by Windows Updates, Optional Windows Updates or Manufacturer Updates in Windows 10.    We use two primary suppliers for laptops and the problem appears to be isolated to Lenovo P series laptops running Windows 10. Lenovo has its own driver update tool keeping the laptop hardware and graphics drivers up-to-date which could add to the confusion.    Our current work-around is to click on another application to trigger SnagIt, but this drops any active UI in Creo. Simple screen shots are easy, but training screen shots are now a bit harder since the active UI elements ar

pentable is not working saving to PDF. I think the issue is Config editor doesn't have right stuff activated,but, the pdf use pentable and use 8 pens options disappear after being added when Settings is reopened and rest to NO. 

wfcTexture::GetFilePath from the Creo 8 object toolkit returns only the file name, not the full path to the image file.  Is there any way to get the actual full file path for the texture image via the object toolkit? 

Is there a good way to compare two assemblies' geometry?  I have an assembly that we sent to an outside firm for modifications.  Those modifications were sent back to us as a step file.  The BOM is different and difficult to compare, but the geometries look nearly identical.  Is there a good way to compare model Geometry?Ideally it would be a transparent model with removed geometry in red (solid) and added geometry in green (solid).  That way I can quickly identify differences in the models.
