Creo+ and Creo Parametric

What's the best way to create a curve along a spline through points without having to manually select each point.  Is there a way to enter a range (Ex. Point 1 - Point 100) where it will select the points that way?

Using Creo 7.0.5.0. As Creo use this Session type of environment and never warns you about closing a single file due to unsaved changes I'm more or less saving all the time (afraid of loosing stuff in case of a crash). This leads to creating a lot of duplicates of the same files (or miniscule differences). It only warns when the session/program as a whole is closed, and then you better be sure you saved everything that you closed previously.... Then I realised this:- Even if I open A FRESH instance of Creo, and open NO files, does no changes to any settings or similar and then close down: CREO STILL WARNS about closing the session and loosing unsaved work. This means the warning is just a dummy prompt that has absolutely no clue of if the files have been saved or not. I'm sorry to say this, but HOW ON EARTH can such a high end software be this.... st_pid?!  Even Notepad can detect changes properly....  I've searched for other threads and ideas about this, but n

Using Creo 8.0.4.0I have an assembly with 4 simplified representations-each state represent a stage in the assembly process, so the simplified representation begins with few components and the final one has all the parts. I need a BoM table on the drawing sheet, which I made by linking the repeat region to the default rep which lists all the components within, but I am facing issues with BoM balloons. How do I make BoM balloons to appear on the different representational views?I tried creating multiple tables for each representational view, but then the tables will have reoccurring parts and since the repeat regions are different, I can't find a way to get rid of duplicate parts across different tables. Alternatively, I tried a different approach where I do not use simplified representations at all but used different layers to hide parts and created 4 combined states with those layers. But on the drawing, I cannot select the combined state along with the default representation.&nb

  When I perform a copy geometry in an assembly the features such as points, axis, or plane are not displayed on the model.  I have to go into the layer tree and and "show" them as they are listed under hidden items.   The couple extra steps to do that are driving me wild as I deal with complex assemblies that utilize many copy geometries.  It hasn't always been this way, I thought this might be a config setting of some sort but I couldn't find anything.   Anybody have a solution to this? The reference article shows you can assign the layer of the copy geom under Include Properties but I do not have that.

Hello, I am new to Creo and CAD in general. I work in fabrication mainly but am slowly learning various CAD and CAM systems. I am currently working on a project in Creo 7.0 where I am attempting to convert solid models into sheet metal parts with layout lines to be used in a CNC scribing and cutting operation.  The end product is something like this, this particular component only has "flat" geometry so none of the following was required.  This is the part file I am starting with. The main plate is a sketched line that is extruded upward and outward to create the height and thickness. Then the smaller extrusions are sketched and extruded off of the main plate.  The following are steps I am taking to produce a usable view to cut on the CNC machine.  First, I am using the Convert to Sheet Metal tool. I select the flat surface on the right as the driving surface and add purple highlighted sections of the plate to the included surfaces so the whole p

This is an enhancement request to support the export of QIF files from Creo Parametric.   We typically use STEP or some other type of neutral file to feed our downstream processes.  Those formats do work, but looking forward we think the QIF format may provide some additional benefits because it's XML-based.  Computers love to read XML.   As of this date, we are on Creo Parametric 4, but I still have not seen any mention of QIF export up through Creo Parametric 7.  Maybe PTC can comment if they have a plan.   Now, this may suggestion may already exist.  I did do a few different searches on PTC Community, but didn't see anything.   Thanks, Keith

Is it possible to create curved 2d text in drawing mode?WayneFCreo 6.0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0hello. This is Hong Cheol-min, deputy manager of Fuzzy System Technology Department. It is said that G-code is manually created and used for processing on equipment using modeling or drawings created in Creo. 1) Please check if there is an option module that can convert G code or utilize it. 2) Whether or not to automatically update when modeling is modified Reference: Example image related to G code thank you - Hong Chul-min Compensation -------------------------------------------------- Translated the below subject and Description from Korean to English using Google translate on 22.11.2022 at 8:55am IST by vnamboodheri--------------------------------------------------Subject: G코드 변환방법 및 옵션모듈Description: 안녕하세요.퍼지시스템 기술부 홍철민 차장 입니다.Creo에서 생성한 모델링 또는 도면을 활용해서 장비에서 가공을 위해서 G코드를 수동으로 만들어서 사용한다고 합니다.1)G코드 변환이나 활용할수 있는 옵션모듈이 있는지 확인부탁 드립니다.2)모델링 수정시 자동 업데이트 여부참고 : G코드 관련 예시 이미지감사합니다. - 홍철민 배상 -

Hello, Was wondering if someone could help or knew the answer this question? I am using Windchill and recently switched form Creo5 to Creo8. I'm trying to create a 2D drawing, I navigate to the correct directory where the template formats are and can't see them to use and select. Anyone know why I can't see and use them in Creo8? Do I need to create new ones? Thanks,Jeff

Creo 7.09.0   I have some new UDF features (.gph) that are used as subordinate UDFs and placed on multiple designs in part mode. I have created model annotations in the UDF reference parts (.prt). The UDF geometry works as intended but I am struggling to automate the detailed views on the drawings which are repetitive in nature. I want to set up one set of annotations in the reference model and then show them in a detail view on a drawing without manipulating the location of the annotations shown every time I reuse the features.   Combination states are not portable through a subordinate UDF from the reference part used to create the UDF, so that did not work.   I have also considered importing a detail view from the UDF reference part but that creates a new drawing sheet and is not a good option IMO.   I can show the annotations embedded in the UDF as they do come across into the target models but must manipulate the spacing etc. after showing them in a drawing in

Hello, I want to create a mapkey to copy a sheet and then come-back to the original sheet.I imagine to use the parameter sheet_number but i don't know how to store its value. Do you have any idea ?Thanks

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0I created a Simplified Representation of an Assembly. I created a Style for the Simplified Representation. I have a drawing, I added the model to the drawing (Simplified Representation chosen). The Style grouped with the Simplified Representation does not come through.My goal is to have some parts transparent and other parts not -- this is the Style I created. The view is an Isometric view, with shading turned on.I moved on to re-creating the Style I already made in the assembly, in the drawing, using Component Display. Component Display isn't working. I select my components, select PhantomOpque, won't save.

How would you capture and differentiate the 3+2 axis machining and 5 axis machining. For example when I have 3+2 axis insert a command and when in 5 axis insert other command.

Hello All,for my master project i need to do Modal analysis of press fiit shaft hub connection to find natural frequencies. I have used friction free contact for the press fit simulation. 1. I found that the differnce between calculated contact pressure and simulated contact pressure is large2. As the contact interfaces in Modal analysis are ignored, i am trying to idealize the press fit interface by spring, But can anyone please explain how may i calculate the stiffness of spring for press fit interface, or is there any other method to perform modal analysis for press fit. I ghave attached the CAD files and mathcad calculation in the folder. Any suggestions would be appreciated.  

Hello , I installed CREO PARAMETRIC version 8-0-4-0 but Simulate is not installed as it came in version 6 is there anything I can do?

As per the original post.    Hello All,   i am trying to do press fit simulation with friction free contact, but i found that the difference between calculated contact pressure and simulated contact pressure is very large. Moreover i need to do modal analysis of the pressfit contact to find natural frequency. As the Modal analysis ignores the contact interfaces, i am trying to idealize the press fit contact by spring element. But can anyone suggest, how may i calculate the spring stiffness of the press fit contact. I have attache zip file consisting CAD models and the Mathcad calculation. Your feedback would be much appreciated.

Hello. I model a car with the Style Tool. I need to make a transition surface between two surfaces, but I don't know how to make it in the Style Tool. Here's an image that shows where exactly I need this surface:  

I'm getting consistent crashing when even just hovering over any part of the "Table" tab.  TOTALLY unacceptable.  Our standard config.pro does not have the "draw_models_read_only yes" option, though my personal config.pro does.  Doesn't matter, it crashes on my PC regardless of if I load my config.pro or not, and I can repeat that crashing on several other PC's here regardless of whatever config.pro is loaded.   Yes, I posted in the other thread, and no, as outlined above the config.pro option doesn't help.   Anyone else seeing this?

So, what I've been doing a lot of lately is marking up drawings of the people that I supervise for Promotion Requests in Windchill.  I tried using Adobe Pro, but, honestly, it sucks.  REALLY sucks.  TOTAL PITA to work with.  I hate Adobe in general and trying to draw GD&T symbols and geometry is miserable and time-wasting.  Then I had a brainstorm:  AutoCAD.  In AutoCAD I made a .dwt template that has a BLOCK (black) layer, and a MARKUP-RED and MARKUP-YELLOW layer, where the BLOCK layer is the current layer for when I import the PDF.  I import the PDF generated from Windchill as a block (so I can't accidentally change it) making sure to have the "Raster images" checkbox marked too:   Then I switch to the MARKUP-RED layer for corrections, and use the MARKUP-YELLOW layer for "ok".  You can create shapes (rectangles etc.) to use for yellow cross hatching, then freeze the BLOCK layer (so it doesn't get confused with the block geometry

Hello my friends, I was required to convert my solution which is based on the makefile in favor of Visual Studio (2019) project. I compiled and built my product using property sheets, but I cannot unlock it with the following message: "Unlocking this application requires option 294." I checked all the licensing, and it is perfectly OK. I found the similar case described in Article - CS274507 Error "Unlocking this application requires option ObjectToolkitCpp" while unlocking an OTK application even though the OTK license is available as part base license of Creo Parametric. The resolution of PTC is that works as expected and to unlock OTK CPP application user need to have separateFloating license option of ObjectToolkitCpp (294) license. The unlocking worked fine with makefile. I checked documentation and did not find out what is Floating license or how to use it. Any suggestions?

I am using Creo Direct Release 4.0 and DatecodeM040Hello We are using floating licences with a local server.We would like to transfer one licence to a local machine so the user can work at home without network connection.It is a temporary transfer.Could you forward a procedure to do this ?Thanks for your support

When I was using Creo 4 I was able to modify the Parameter drop down box to include specific ones I wanted without having to go to the whole machine parameter box. Now that we have moved to Creo 7 I cannot remember how this was done. Has anyone else done this? Thanks in advance. What I wantWhat I have

On the mold flow analysis setup tab, I cannot see optional simulations tab which involves sink mark simulation check. I want to make a sink mark check for a part but since I cannot check this box, I cannot reach any results. 

Is there a config.pro option for the location of AFX template files? Since we have modified the files, I would like to move them to a 'common' location that can be accessed by multiple builds of Creo. Modelcheck files can be moved to a common location and I would like to do the same with the AFX files. Currently running Creo 7.0.7.0 and 7.0.9.0 and soon 7.0.10.0.
