Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello everyone, I’m using Creo 8.0.9 and I need to create a sticker adapted to the surface, but for that I’m using a decal.When the sticker is flat, applying the decal is easy, but when it’s curved, it becomes very difficult.Is there a better method?Or is there any parameter in the planar mode that can be set to automatically adapt to all surfaces?the surface its a extrude on a spinal bend

I have a drawing where I've added additional rows to the revision block (1 per revision) and filled out the information. I save the drawing and check it in but the text doesn't show up. If I add this drawing to a new workspace, the text I added isn't visible but if I click on each cell in the table row the text is in fact there. All I have to do is click it and select OK for it to become visible again but then on check in it becomes invisible. As a result, the published drawing doesn't show this information.  This is the only drawing like this... I verified that all the properties are the same as the row that is visible (row for rev A).    Making the text show up on my drawing and checking it doesn't seem to persist.   

Hi, I'm looking for compatible versions of Visual Studio to customise Creo Parametric 12.4.2.0. Is it okay to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 (available as latest version) or safer to go for previous versions? Thanks.

Creo 10.0.6 I'm trying to set Detail Option config default_ansi_ord_dim_aligned to no in a drawing but the OK and Apply are greyed out. Tried both in part and drawing with same OK/Apply greyed out result. Drawing and part are checked out. Config ord_dim_standard is set to std_ansi. I can change other config options and OK/Apply are available. Seems like something simple I'm overlooking.

Hi all 🙂 in C9, compared to c4 that I'm used to, dimension witness line has selection priority over everything else.I.E:  auto - added angular dimension is exactly where the sketched line ends, and when trying to select line endpoint, I have to be aware of not selecting the dimension, if i need to drag the geometry. Else, when I try to drag geometry, but with this blue dot selected it drags the dimension and locks it as user modified.This is more than disturbing, as the dimensions at random have this "blue dot" drag point exactly where geometry ends, and i did not found a use case for selecting such witness line instead of dragging the dimension text/ value itself.question is, does config option to erase these dots exist? or to change this priority back to geometry ? so I don't have to mess with selection of the witness lines instead geometry?Thanks, cheers 🙂 

Hello everybody!My company has just acquired Creo Parametric and it needs to develop add-on extensions to it. From the other hand, we have tons of useful C# code that we we want to reutilize.I just started to design the extension and my plan was to implement a 3-tier architecture consisting from the following layers:- DLL client build with Creo Object Toolkit C++, which may be registered as extension to Parametric.exe- Middleware build with C++/CLI which will allow client/server interop- C# libraries consumedUnfortunately, my trials so far to make server DLL extension dependent on the middleware class brought to the Parametric crashes.I'm absolute newbie to the Parametric programming so I would like to start this first post with some general questions.Do anyone has the experience with the using C# code from Parametric?Is the direction I tried makes sense with Parametric?If yes, what may be the causes for crash? (I will share code files as necessary)If not, what are the advised directio

I'd like to access, through code/programmatically a *.prt model's Annotations (e.g. Symbols, Datums, Notes, Dimensions). These would be the objects that are, in PTC Creo 10.x, in the model tree -> Design Items > Anotations. Is this possible through the base license of Creo (i.e. in Visual Basic)? The annotation objects seem like they might be accessible through details (drawings), but I cannot find their equivalents in the Model/PRT file. Could someone point me in the right direction?

I'm trying to understand what I can do to make cable harness take up less memory.See screenshots below.  I have about 12 cables made of 16 wires in a relatively simple assembly and the file size for the cable assembly and harness total 430mB (215mB each).  This is so large it takes minutes to save and regenerate.  All of the cable locations referenced to datums in the assembly and not some higher level assembly.  Each cable has maybe 2-3 plane or datum point-based locations based on assembly references.To me this should be taking up 10mB max.  What could it possibly be doing with all this memory?We're on windows 11, creo 8.0.0.0.    

Hi everyone,I'm working in Simulation (Analyses and Studies) within the Structural module in PTC Creo, and I’ve run into an issue: I can’t save result images in high-quality formats like PNG or TIFF.In this section, Creo only lets me save images in lower-quality formats, and I’d like to avoid using screenshots or the snipping tool because the resolution becomes quite poor.Does anyone know if there’s a way to export result images with the same quality as when PNG/TIFF saving is available?Maybe a setting, a workaround, or something I might be missing? I’m also attaching two images to show the issue:The first image is taken in Simulate (before entering Analyses and Studies) and the quality is great.The second image is taken inside Analyses and Studies, and the quality is noticeably lower, which is the problem I’m trying to solve.

I've got some issue using mechanism. I have this little subsystem that's supposed to go up and down to lift up the tray from the conveyor.When I work on this subassembly as we can this the movement is correct and 2 body are highlithed. The static body (in light blue on the first screen) is dirrectly link to the main origin of the subassembly. However when I import this in the main assembly making the subassembly origine fixed in the main assembly, in somehow the subassembly became one single rigid body. As we can see on the second screen there is only 1 body highlighted including the tray and the mooving part.Furthemore when we look at the mechanism tree, on the second screen there is actually a second body but it only includs origins.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.5.0Hello,I use ModelCheck for create parameters in creo prt.Is it possible to specify units?this is the line in MC for my parameter:PRT_PARAMETER DIAMETER REAL EQ 10And I need that the parameter created has mm as units.Because in windchill this parameters is a type: Real with unitsThanks

Another day and another CREO issue 🙂 So, I'm starting to get into detailing parts in CREO 10. Just to clarify - I have used NX and SolidWorks before and never ran into this issue. I wanted to dimension the part attached and use Bolt Circles for the two different holes. I tried using "Show Model Dims" and bring in the axis and dims. Well one feature was created using a circular pattern - and the other was two separate features (I did not create this model). I figured out how to display a circular centerline by changing drafting settings - but when I brought the dimension in it was a Radius. There was no way for me to change this to a Diameter. So, I decided to create my own sketches in the view and decided to just dimension to this directly. I'm sure people will say, "That's not how CREO works - you create in model and then bring in the model features/dims" Sure - but when it doesn't show what you actually want - I want to have other options/features to present the dimension

Hi,Something im not sure if its even possible, looking to have a set of predefined hole patterns to replicate SAE flange tapping details on manifolds.Currently we just use a chart based on ISO6162-1 & ISO6162-2Would be handy to have this a feature where the hole size, drilling depth, & tapping depth, as well as sketch pattern width & length are predefined.  

Good evening,I just wanted to download the student version of Creo 10, this also worked at the beginning. But now I have the trail version and not like my classmates the student version. Can I upgrade this in Creo or do I have to download creo again? If so, what do I have to do differently to not download the trail version. With kind regards  

Hi @SweetPeasHub @skunks . Thanks for the explanation in this topic attached. For a guy wire in tension, I have defined a beam element using a series of points just as you have showed but the issue that I am facing is these tiny elements of the beams do not seem to be in contact for some reason and the prestress analysis for wires in tension fails. I had defined a rigid link between all these points that make up the beam. Is there any better / correct approach to constrain these tiny beam elements to stay connected? Please guide.    

Hi everyone, I’m working with the team in charge to move to MBE, and I’ve run into a challenge I hope someone can help with.I’m trying to remove the general linear tolerances that appear on every part (see attachment 1). I experimented with setting the "tol_Display" option to "no", which does remove the general tolerances, but unfortunately, it also hides all the local tolerances on features of size (see attachment 2 and 3).Has anyone found a way to remove just the general linear tolerances while keeping the local ones visible?I’ve attached a reference image to show what I’m working with. Any tips, workarounds, or settings I might have missed would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Hi have quite the extensive Hole chart that fills 2 sheets in my Creo 10 Drawing.All was going well until I noticed I lost my Hole Designations that tells me in the hole chart its dimensions.I have had one other person have the same experience.Anyone know how to get them back?

So our company updated our office products to use the microsoft sensitivity labeling on documents. Now when editing family tables, one must select a label before opening the file. While this is a headache as sometimes the dialog isnt available on the alt+tab menu and must be navigated to from the task manager. The real issue is that sometimes when closing the excel file, Creo does not know it's been closed and nothing be clicked on. Even if I kill the excel process through the task manager, Creo is still waiting and clicking anywhere in the program results in the windows sound that I am clicking an invalid window. Does anyone know any work arounds? It appears that the real issue is you must select a sensitivity label before editing the file.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0I am experiencing an issue when exporting a model from Creo Parametric to STEP format.When I create a model as a single part and then add weld bodies, Creo automatically generates additional bodies and layers during the export. When I reopen the exported STEP file in Creo, the structure of the model appears completely different from the original one created in Creo.Could you please help me understand why this happens and how to correctly export the STEP file without the model structure changing?Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi,I am trying to create my custom ifx library, I have setup all parts, their catalogs and other configuration.I have also created translation file for catalogs names and their helptext.I have used runtime variable creation process to use custom library location. Creo parametric is taking all components and configs from custom location but it is not taking translation file from my custom location. It is using ifx_translation file from default creo installation.Is their any settings/config need to add , please help a=uf anyone knows.

Hello,Recently I am getting a crashing issue when closing out the ECAD/MCAD Collaboration tool. The traceback file states "Exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread xxxxx". The thread number changes every time it crashes. I had another user try on a different machine and got the same result. This seems to have started within the last couple weeks, I have successfully done this process before this period. Thanks in advance for the support,Tanner

Recently was assigned a new laptop at work with a 4K, 120Hz screen. I have now found that whenever I unplug my laptop from the docking station (2 1080p 60Hz monitors), the visualizer in Creo freezes up and is unresponsive. I am still able to use the model tree/configuration ribbon, and opening new windows results works just fine. When reconnecting to the dock, all the windows start working again without issue. I have to assume this is something with my display settings. I have attempted to fix this issue by disabling Integrated Graphics and adjusting screen resolution and refresh rate, with no success. 

How can we share published MBD part to procurement teams who does not have Creo Parametric

Hi! I have a part with different holes. In my 2D drawing I am using the default hole table from Creo (v8.09). It shows for example M2.5x.45 ISO in the cell but when I look at the hole annotation, it shows M2.5x.45 ISO - H2.7 DRILL ( 2.700 ) THRU So why it doesn't show this in the hole table? I tried to change in the table the definition of the cell to include these information. Then I go back to the part and back again to the drawing and the cell content is back to what it was before. Why is that? Also I have a clearance hole on the part, but in the hole table it shows M2.5x.45 ISO. This is wrong.

Clicking setup.exe during Creo installation produces no response. How can I solve this?
