Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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.                

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0   Use the ProConedataGet function to obtain an alpha angle. This angle has positive and negative values. What is the basis for judging positive or negative?   Translated by Simona Cuciureanu using Google Translate on 5.12.2022 --------------- 使用ProConedataGet函数可以获得一个alpha角度，这个角度有正值也有负值，判断正负的依据是什么

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.

Hi, I was wondering if we can design a custom symbol in CREO where instead of typing variable text in dialog box, we can directly type the variable text in Annotation note itself: For example:On typing "&sym(TRIANGLE_1) THIS IS A TEST NOTE" I should get following result :   And on typing "&sym(TRIANGLE_2) THIS IS A TEST NOTE" I should get following result :   AND HENCE FORTH.... I have seen similar capabilities in other design softwares, was wondering if similar approach exists in CREO. Please let me know if this can be done, since I am working on an automation tool. Any coding based approach are also welcomed, since I have some knowledge on vbapi libraries of CREO.  Thanks and Regards,Prasad 

Using Creo 7.0.5.0 I'm exporting single bodies from what originally seems to have been a multibody STP that have been imported into Inventor and saved as an IAM file (Inventor Assembly file). I export these as STP and then import into Creo and then save again as PRT. Although a bit tedious it's still a lot faster than re-drawing them from scratch (especially as I have no drawings). Now, in the export procedure the part CSYS seems to stay where it originally was in the much larger multibody, causing my new assembly to have loads of free-floating CSYS practically EVERYWHERE (see first image). Not a huge deal for functionality, but it feels bad. 🙂 THE QUESTION: Is there anyway in Creo to adjust the relation of a no-feature body-only part to its CSYS? (see second image below) I've tried to just delete them, but that deletes the whole body.   

Hello! I was wondering about Creo’s capability to measure the Second Area Moment of Inertia (I). I am trying to calculate the second area moment for a common vascular needle, which has a cylindrical shaft and a conical tip. I was mostly wondering if Creo is able to find the second area moment over the varying geometry of the conical tip, or if it is only able to find one cross section at a time. I have attached a picture of what the needle end looks like below. I believe this process would require me to integrate by hand, as well as utilize the parallel axis theorem to connect the conical end of the needle to the cylindrical shaft. I thought Creo may have some functionality to do this within the program. Please let me know if I can clarify my problem in any way. It seems like Creo has lots of capabilities to find the mass properties of different parts, but since I need the area moment of inertia the mass properties are not required and instead geometry is my biggest concern. &nbsp

Dear Community,I have an assembly where some parts are moving and some others are fixed; I would like to calculate the whole mass of the moving parts only, is it possible? I would need, when launching the Mass Properties, to deselect somebodies and calculate the mass of the remaining ones.Best regards Stefano

Using Creo 7.0.5.0 I'm not sure how to explain this problem, but I'll give it a shot (I can't share the files, I'm afraid). I have a main assembly of a machine. This assembly contains several sub-assemblies. Two of these are the same assembly, but does have some interchangeable parts through a family table making them slightly different. The issue is that I can't change the parts on one of these without changing on the other one. In the main assembly I want to be able to show both configurations at the same time. See it as a car where you have one subassembly for the wheels with the same rims, valves and caps for all, but you want to replace the tires only on the rear axle. Is this possible or do I need a separate assembly for the wheels with different set of tires? Can I create a family table in the top assembly that somehow controls each of the subs? 

I have a hexagonal lattice feature which intersects a flat surface at 90` I can add the vertical rounds to the lattice itself via the feature, but is there a quicker way to add rounds to the edge that intersects the lattice and flat surface? rather than selecting each of the bottom edge of each of the hexagons? There is approx 150 Cells in the lattice and its quite tiresome to add them all in. Other CAD platforms have intersection selection control, but i cant seem to find anything in creo, even using closed/partial loop or selecting edges by filter? Thanks  

Hi. I have a question from a user who is experiencing slow performance when running Feasibility and Multi-Objective Design Studies. He says he can see that Creo is using very little RAM. There's a lot of info about managing RAM for Simulate, but I'm guessing none of those options affect running BMX design studies? Or will the performance of these be affected by, say, changing the solram settings? I'm guessing not.   Does anyone know of any other settings that may limit RAM usage for Creo? Or perhaps RAM isn't the limiting factor, but rather the processor?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM110Creo appearance palette for several segment colors are have to configurate, we tried to set the .dmt file but the location was not fetchable, If any solution for creating the .dmt file and set in library it will be useful for different product as separated segment such like (Product 1 it contains several colors, Product 2 - it contains serval required colors for the specific product etc...)

I wasn't sure where to post this but maybe this is a good enough place. Recently when I start up Creo (Croe 4.0, M120), I get an annoying popup from the browser that is built in, as shown here. Is there anything I can do about this? Do I notify someone that their script is failing? I don't know if it's just me. I don't see this when I browse over to the community site with my normal browser (Firefox). Maybe I could stop Creo from bringing up this browser? I never understood the reason for it being there anyway.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.6.0Design Exploration creates .tmu files when you save. Is there a way to convert that file into a .prt file. This would save time once a design is refined.
