Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me out with this seemingly simple task.   I'm adding sketch lines to a finished 2D drawing to mark where custom cuts must be made.  How do I define the dimensions of the line, such as creating the sketch line 1 inch away from a predefined part view line?  I can snap to those lines, but I can't define a simple dimension for the distance between the two lines, or even the length of a sketch line??

Hi,   In 3D ,Using Pro3dDispListCreate to keep circles or lines etc drawn with ProGraphicsDraw Func. However, in 2D drawings, circles with Pro3dDispListCreate do not look like circles, and with Pro2dDispListCreate, circles or lines drawn with ProGraphicDraw disappear when panned or zoomed in/out.   If there is a way to keep items drawn with ProGraphics Draw in 2d, please help.   Warm Regards, SeonHo CHA.

I'm excited to announce the publication of my book to help explain the many confusing files that are ModelCHECK! Of course most of the members of this group may be beyond needing an introduction to ModelCHECK but if you know someone who does need help...Re-Use Your CAD: The ModelCHECK Handbook was published in conjunction with Action Engineering and is available for purchase at Createspace and Amazon. You can also browse through a copy at LiveWorx 2016 in Boston. Look for it and me at the Software Factory booth in the Expo Hall.

I am using Creo Parametric Release N/A and DatecodeN/AI need to know which version of Creo created a step file with 'Creo Parametric by PTC Inc, 2021304' in it. What version of Creo is 2021304?

Hi, I use creo parametric 2.0. I have problem and questions. IF it possible in creo 2.0 make a part and after split have 2 separate part? I know I'm backing up and cutting etc but I'm looking for a creo function that would allow me to do this without backing up.

When I turn on a cross-section, some solid models appear as surface models. They appear as 'hollow'. Nevertheless, 'Show Clipped Model as Solid' is checked on in 'Options', and 'Capped_clip' in config.pro is set to 'yes'....Any suggestions as to what could be wrong? ( Creo 4.0 )   Kind regards    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150I have an assembly that contains parts PRT1 and PRT2. I made a parameter KOS that allows me to choose which part is active in the assembly using IF statement in pro/program.In the assembly i also have a coordinate system, that I would like to place on default coordinate system of whatever part is "active".I tried adding the add feature of csys inside IF statement which supresses/unsupresses either part (and changed references to the appropriate csys of part), but it returns an error that feature with that ID already exists.Is it possible to change references for a coordinate system inside pro/program? Is it possible to use IF statement inside the add feature of csys where it requests references?(pro/program in attachment)

Hello If I have an assembly pattern with a bunch of parts, and would like to remove the pattern but still have all the parts left in their places, can I do that somehow? The reason I'm asking is that now that pattern is populated by the same part, but I want to make it into a family table part with features that vary depending on location. If I do a Replace on some part they all change. I do understand that I can convert the pattern into a Table pattern and swap the instances there, but that does not save much work in this case, so I would prefer to just "de-pattern" the pattern into single parts.

Hi, Can you suggest api to change component in assembly to user defined representation. Thanks in advance.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.2.0After installing Windows 10 21H2 update to build 19044.2006 anytime Creo (Parametric or Simulate) is started an error "No write access to C:\Users\Public\Documents" is displayed. Directory permissions are ok and user can manually create folder sand write files to that directory. Able to proceed when browsing to and selecting C:\Users\Public\Documents.Also now when trying to create a part with the default template New File Options are required, was never required before.Uninstall and re-install of Creo does not fix the issue.Here are the errors that I facedNo write access to C:\Users\Public\Documents

Using Creo 7.0.5.0 I have a situation where I'm making a rectangular base plate for a table-stand. The plate has 2 mm chamfered edges and the 8 corners should be chamfered as well (see image below). However, this requires not less than 8 separate features which are tiresome to create. Not only that - the dimensions are not remembered between each corner, they can't be mirrored or patterned either. Not even if an existing Corner Chamfer feature is copied and pasted to another corner the dimensions are kept (so what the point of copying it?).  Anyone who has a simple solution to this?  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0i updated Creo parametric to 9.0.2 and i found an issue that my collegue with version 8.0 and 7.0 are not able to open the assembly

Whenever I export an animation which I did in PTC Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0 and I want to select a compression method, Creo crashes.  Does somebody know how to fix that?

I am converting files from educational to business licence, using EDU_COM_Convert and setting the parameter 'rename_drawings_with_object' to 'both'.I have an issue with automatic conversion of assemblies and the relative drawings (saved with same filename, different file extension).I noticed that doing 'Save a Backup', I automatically get all subassemblies and parts but do not obtain drawings, while when doing 'Save a Copy' I get drawings but not all subassemblies.Is there a way to convert all parts, assemblies and drawings all at once, avoiding manual saving?Versions in use: version 7 educational, version 9 business.Thanks for your help in advance.

To create a BOM in a detailed drawing you use a parametric table called a repeat region.  From what I have read, using MBD  the BOM should be attached to the assembly in some way as an annotation maybe.   Anyone have any comments on this ???  Maybe I'm missing something or we are not there yet in creo 9  thoughts?   Maybe I need to join the MBD technical committee  😉  Bart BrejchaDesign-engine.com

Hi everyone, I'm curious if Creo Parametric supports hiding datum points based on the orientation of a solid body to the current display view. In short, if I have a field of datum points on one side of a solid body, then rotate the solid body such that the body would occlude my vision of those points - could Creo be configured to hide those points? The reason I would like this functionality, is that it can help with visual orientation of the part. Consider the image below - I have a feature of datum points one side of the part.Orientation 1Currently, if I rotate to the part to the orientation shown in the next image below, I will still see the datum points.Ideally, I want is shown in the final image below, which will hide the points when I rotate to a view where the points would be hidden (like the smiley face sketch). (NOTE: I'm currently disabling the display of all datum points in this image). If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you all.

Hello Everyone,In a mechanism (no resistive forces other loads), if I provide a servo motor to a rotating link, it behaves as expected where very minimal forces are generated in links and I believe servo motor just gives enough power/velocity to cause motion. So If i put a measure for reaction forces at various links, the force values are very less. However, If i replace the servo with a finite value torque motor, reaction forces (equivalent in the order of a static case) are generated in the links even when there are no other resistive forces.  I would be much obliged if anyone could explain the above. Thanks in advance

Hi,I am not familiar with the Meccanism module, so I ask for your patience.I applied a motor to a rotating body by defining the trend in a table:Still from the engine definition tab, I see its graph and so far everything is ok.My problem appears when I ask the program to detect the measurement of the motor speed in a kinematic analysis, I get this result. I would have expected to obtain a graph similar to that of the engine and instead they are different, why? Thank you.P.S. I'm using creo 9.0.0.0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.2.0I have a weird problem with a Creo PC. Let me explain:the PC in question (PC0008) has installed Creo 6.0.2.0, and 2 license :one fixed for Creo Parametricand one floating for the machining Option (we have 2 CAM licenses installed on the license server).However, the PC takes both licenses from the server and since on the server we only have 2 floating licenses for the CAD, it often gives the message that the license is not present and close.until a few months ago everything worked correctly, but now I have been told that it loses the license so I checked and I see that it also takes the PROE_Essentials license from the license server ignoring the locally installed licenseP.S. Since the Machining Option licenses are used only by 2 PCs and no one else, wouldn't it be possible to change these 2 licenses so that they can be assigned and installed directly on the machines concerned?

I have a sinusoidal mechanism I am trying to simulate.  I can get the kinematics to work fine by using two mechanism constraints: the first being a cylinder connection which controls the axis and angle of my assembly.  Then I projected a circular sketch onto the sinusoidal surface and used a slot constraint where a point follows the projected curve.  A spring keeps these two surfaces in contact.  In the video I can have the structure swing back and force indefinitely due to the force of the spring.  There is no friction in the system yet.  I would like to have the two surfaces generate friction to eventually damp the system to 0.  Is this possible?  I haven't had any luck with either cam or 3D contacts.  (view in My Videos)
