Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Creo 8, ModelCheck, Windchill 12; (soon Creo 12, Windchill 13) 1. 3D-models have layers with status "all blanked"2. Drawing layer status is independent of 3D model's layer status3. On drawings layers are not allowed. Only layers of used 3d models will be set following the simple rule: "Hide all layers but show "NoSyGeKo" or "AnSyGeKo"" (Geman: "Notizen/Anmerkungen, Symbole, Gewinde, Kosmetik", English:  "Notes/Annotations, Symbols, Threads, Cosmetics"). This setting fits to 99% of all views on all of our drawings.Question: How to configure ModelCheck to bring up Warnings/Errors if this setting is not set?(Unwanted layers, blanc/hide/show of 3D layers are no options in this case, because they are independent and should remain so. We do not have Toolkit and try just to configure ModelCheck as far as possible and avoid external tools like auxiliary applications)

Hi , I have to export current model to image using Creo VB API , I have tried functionality given in VB API Example, but function thrown error of XToolkitGeneralError Would you please help me to resolve this error ?Regards,Kunal B

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.0.0we are facing issue for Creo This fatal error coming frequently(4-5 times in a day) while working in drawings.Here are the errors that I facedFatal error coming frequently(4-5 times in a day) while working in drawings.

So i was making 2D drawings when my screen suddenly went black, after waiting my pc started up again and my desktop looked funny as in my pictograms got bigger ec, then when i opend creo evrything is fine untill i open a assembly. After restarting i tried making a new part but it starts fine till i try something and then it just freezes. How can i fix this? i looked around for a solution but im not a techy guy.It freezes as soon as i select to see the planes  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.9.0Bonjour,nous rencontrons un problème avec le module codesigner d'altium.Nous l'utilisions par le passé mais il ne fonctionne plus. Nous ne pouvons plus importer les cartes.Here are the errors that I facedError - Altium CoDesignerAlternate parts R60, R61, C66, C65, R13, R12 were not transferred from ECAD. The potential reasons and solutions are: a) the parts are declared in ECAD's PrjPcb file but not placed on the PCB itself - in this case they need to be cleaned from PrjPcb, b) PCB variant was renamed - in this case the components should be removed from PCB and placed from schematic again.La référence d'objet n'est pas définie à une instance d'un objet.

As can be seen in above screenshot, even though the "Plane Display" is turned off this plane is still visible. This is part from an assembly that I received from a colleague, and for that whole assembly as well when unticking everything in that dialogue box some planes are still visible. I'm using Creo 9

Create a system parameter for appearance and allow the parameter to be changed via relations and family tables. Very similar to the way PTC_MATERIAL_NAME works.Example: PTC_APPEARANCE (string)IF COLOR_NAME == "Blue"PTC_APPEARANCE = "Blue"ENDIF This has been a problem forever. PTC, please listen to your customers and implement solutions.

Hi, Is there a way to switch orientation of chamfer dimension in drawing? I mean the chamfer dimensions showed from model, not created in drawing. (Creo 7)   Michal.  

Hello, I'm trying to test Simulate Lite within Creo2 / Creo3.I've done this a long time ago.There, I've tried e very simple part for testing.But all menus are Grey.I can't even assign a material.Someone have an idea of my problem ?Thanks

Hi Alls,I ha an an assembly (about 100 parts).I would like to make an enveloppe of this, then substrat it to first part.And keek reference for updates.It it possible without AAX ?I would like to have no interferces .  

Recently I've been downloading Gridfinity boxes from makers spaces as a .stp file as a starting point and then modifying them in Creo to create the container I want on our 3D printers.  However I'll get halfway through designing a container and then decide instead of it being a 4x6 container if I make it a 4x8 container I can fit in this extra widget.   This requires me to download a whole new .stp file and start the Creo process from scratch.  It sure would be nice if these Gridfinity files were parametric. I've been racking my brains to think of the best way to great a parametric Gridfinity set of bins. 1) I'm assuming a family table is the best way to create a parametric set of bins?2) Does anybody already have a Gridfinity  family table they could share with me?3) Filling in the corners between two sets of bins or filling in the edge corner details will be the difficult part.  I'm guessing I could do that with a bunch of relations within

Hi I am measuring some reaction forces in the XY domain, but i am confused which CSSY CREOis referencing? Is it the COG CSSY for the rigid body? Or the default CSSY for the rigid body assy?

Hello all,If anyone has an idea about torsion springs ?I am trying to apply torsion spring mechanisms to this assembly, but during the process I am unable to pick a reference point; the first point is selected, but the second point is unable to be picked, and the torsion spring is not visible. Result of this process I need a calculation against the torsion spring. For reference, I attached a screenshot of the extension spring that shows when the reference points are selected and the spring becomes visible. Torsion spring asm.Extension spring example :    

How to protrude image 1 text vertically as in image 2 drawing?

When working in Creo, the preview of the part is not visible. It has been like this for many generations, now running Creo 10.0.9.0. I tried pressing the install creo viewer link but the installation that poppet up was for creo viewer 9 and I already have creo view 10 on my system. When looking at this part through a normal browser, ie not built in to Creo, I can see the 3d thumbnail. Is there a setting that enables this somehow or do I need a different version of Creo View? 

I want to implement a macro to select two location points and create a branch bundle feature. However, the selection tool doesn't seem to be working properly, as shown in the figure below. Each time, only one location point can be added, and it's impossible to add two location points to the selected list.The help documentation states that when creating a branch bundle, you need to hold down the CTRL key to select two locations. Is there any way to programmatically select two locations? Or is it possible to create a branch bundle using Toolkit?The macro content is as follows, but it doesn't work as expected.~ Command `ProCmdMdlTreeSearch` ;~ Select `selspecdlg0` `RuleTab` 1 `Misc`;\~ Select `selspecdlg0` `RuleTypes` 1 `All`;\~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `EvaluateBtn`;\~ Select `selspecdlg0` `ResultList` 1 `5:67:[6375]`;\~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `ApplyBtn`;\~ Select `selspecdlg0` `ResultList` 1 `70:67:[6375]`;\~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `ApplyBtn`;\~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `CancelButton`;\

I would like to create a map key to save a file to the current working directory\Release with the current date. Is there a way to do this with a variable? ie  %CWD\Release\filename.%mm%dd%yy.pdf

In Creo Sheetmetal, we need to get the drawing of flatten view directly without having any step. Please refer attached video from Soildworks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNMcbeZMGGA&t=110s Do we have this functionality in Creo ? 

I'm using Creo 12.4.0.0 and I'm experiencing an issue when trying to edit certain configuration files in Creo ModelCHECK. Here is the situation:I can edit Start Files and Status Files under the Configuration Files section without any problem.However, when I try to edit files under Check Files or Constant Files, Creo crashes.For example, I tried openin the default_checks_mch, file but Creo immediately crashes.The crash only happens when editing Check/Constant files, not Start/Status files.

In the piping line stock there first tab, one can specify bend radius and bend angle with multiple values, space separated. Why and what is the impact of having multiple values there? Do they drive the pipe design? Then in the Design Rule tab one can define a miniumum and maximum bend radius and angle. Are these driving or what purpose do they have? In the User Defined tab one can define bends (with names) and a value to them. Are these driving or what is the purpose? What I eventually want to do is to ensure that the bend radius is always 30mm. A further refinement that I'm not sure is possible would be to have it vary depending on the bend angle. This is because the bend machine that we have has a fixed radius, and as such the springback of tubes that are bend result in a radius other than 30mm, depending on the angle that is bent.

Creo 10.0.8.0In our material library I want to be able to add the common material designations as custom attributes in the material file.   THEN, I want to use a relation to automatically populate the material attribute MATL_SPEC with the material attribute when it exists. But I have found then when the "custom" material property doesn't exist the relations fail.  I tried using the "exists()" function to check, but the equation fails before getting to the "exists()" function. This is the equation I was trying to use.  When "custom" exists, it works, but if "custom" doesn't exist it fails.if exists(material_param("custom"))test=material_param("custom")endif Also, I've found then when "custom" does exist, I don't actually enter into the "do" part of the IF statement. Is there another recommended work-around or relation function structure I can try?

Please,,clarify to meIs possible i,and run locally Creo Floating (as client)?   Thank you, Pedro.

When exporting a 2D creo drawing to PDF, the microsoft word objects that are inserted are not selectable text in the final PDF.  Is there a setting so that inserted objects are selectable/highlightable in the resulting PDF? Inserting an object in this way, but it seems to come into the 2D drawing as an image and not text/table. 

I’m starting to learn how GD&T works, but I’ve run into an issue.For a plunger pump, I’m making this 2D drawing. I set datum A as the surface the housing rests on, datum B as the axis of the large gears, and datum C as the cover surface with the roller bearing for the shaft carrying the small gear.Now the problem is the area where the crosshead runs. I’m not sure how to dimension this correctly. Should I use a position tolerance relative to B–A–C, or is it better to use parallelism and perpendicularity? Are there other correct methods?Below are two screenshots showing where my datums are located and what the pump looks like in section.  

For a school project, I need to make 2D drawings of already existing 3D parts.Normally, I specify my tolerances (for example 10 n6) using the menu shown in the picture.However, now I can’t do this. Is it because the files date from 2017 and were created in an older Creo version than the one I’m currently using?Also is there a site or forum where i can let my 2D drawings be checked? i got a exam coming up and would love to have them checked but idk if that existsHow can I fix this? I am using Creo 12.4 Education.
