Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello, whenever I export my drawing as a pdf or print it as a pdf the lines are all pretty thick. Acutally so thick that you cannot see any real detail. I would like to change that.I read a lot about this tabe.pnt file, but i cannot find it anywhere.Also i tried copying the following in my config.pro file: pdf_use_pentable yesuse_8_plotter_pens yespen_table_file path_to_filepen table file - examplepen 1 thickness 0.05 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0; drawing_colorpen 2 thickness 0.025 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0; letter_colorpen 3 pattern 0.5, 0.2 cm; thickness 0.025 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0; half_tone_colorpen 4 thickness 0.035 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0; edge_highlite_colorpen 7 thickness 0.015 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0; dimmed_color This did also not work for me.Could there be anything that I am doing wrong at the moment?GreetingsSpedex

Hi,We are upgrading from Creo 2.0 to Creo 3.0 with that we are re-using the AFX (EFX) profiles we created for Creo 2.0.In Creo 3.0 there is an option to 'Assemble the profile along a bend curve', but how do we have to modify the current profile templates to be able to use that feature?Kind regards.

DearI would like to add some part in library component.But the problem is that parameter wont rewrite. ( ord_number)The parameter stays the same as in the part in library. (empty)How to fix this that parameter will update from library data file?Do i need to have part in library with any parameter     

Hi,   How can I prevent Solid Geometry from a Solidworks file opened in Creo Parametric from creating a new layer and being assigned to that layer?   For instance I open a Solidworks model in Creo Parametric and then Creo creates a Shell Layer and put the solid model on that layer.  Now if that layer is turned off/hidden you no longer can see the part file. Is there a setting somewhere to control what layers are created when opening non Creo files or importing other cad file types?   Thanks for any help you can provide! Don A

This may be a simple question in that it is just not they way it works.   In previous post I asked about pausing for input: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Mapkey-Pause-for-Input/m-p/813137#M125203   Now my question is the resume window. It is a separate window and you either have to click back to it to (activate and) resume or Alt-Tab back to it to activate it and then hit enter to resume the mapkey.   Is there a way to have it so the enter key activates the resume window or it resumes the mapkey?

In creating a mapkey to save a pdf. File SaveAs (Alt-F, A) Type (pick the drop down and chose .pdf) The file name appears in the File Name box. (e.g. abc123) Due to quirky things where I work, I need to add a "v" in front of the name (legacy stuff).   I try "Pause for input" add the "v" and resume the mapkey. Now the mapkey wants to create all the .pdf's with the name of the file when I created the mapkey (e.g. vabc123).   After this I chose the PDF profile and complete the mapkey.   Is there a way to either set the profile with an independent mapkey at the beginning of the Creo session or continue without the filename used when creating the mapkey.   If I could pre-set the PDF profile, I could stop recording the mapkey after the Filename pops up.     This gave me a partial understanding of :Pausing for Input": https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/Pause-for-keyboard-input-in-mapkeys/m-p/419676

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 4.0 (connected) Release 4.0 and DatecodeM110   When using Creo Distributed Batch to convert multiple drawings to PDF at once, text overflows. Please tell me how to set it so that the characters do not protrude. Also, I would like to choose between color and monochrome, where can I set this?   Translated by Simona on 9.09.2022 using Google Translate ------------Creo Distributed Batchを使って複数の図面を一括でPDF化する際に、文字がはみ出します。文字のはみ出しがないように設定する方法を教えてください。また、色もカラーとモノクロを選択したいのですが、どこで設定できますでしょうか？

I tried (in CREO 3.0) to create a mapkey that would go through these steps:1) Click FILE --> PRINT --> click Quick Print2) this brings up the PRINT windows, with Printer Name set to Microsoft Print to PDF3) Click PROPERTIES4) Click ADVANCED5) PAPER SIZE: change from LETER to TABLOID6) Click OK to close Advanced Options window7) Click OK to close Document Properties window8.) Click OK to close PRINT window9) The "Save Print Output As" window opens10) Type in File name: zzzz.pdf11) Click SAVE button.Problem is that the mapkey registration of commands stops at the Quick PRINT window and does not register any more clicks after that...mapkey p= @MAPKEY_NAMEPrint to PDF, LANDSCAPE, ledger paper size.;\mapkey(continued) @MAPKEY_LABELPRINT_LANDSCAPE_PDF;~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdQuickPrint`;The default printer on my laptop is Microsoft Print to PDF, and the default is set to TABLOID size, but this does not seem to matter for CREO 3.0, it alway

I wonder were there is a button or a way to open the corresponding drawing for a model or assembly ? The other way around is easy as in the drawing you have on the left bottom a component tree to open the component but not reversed. This operation, retype the number of the drawing, is done several times a day by many designers and would be a real time saver.

I have some assemblies where I need to remove all the assembly constraints.  I can do it one component at a time but I could really use a faster method.   Most of the components are "Frozen" or  "Suspended"  with broken constraints. Thanks  

Hello, I use J-Link, the Java language toolkit for PTC Creo Parametric.In my test directory C:/test_dir are a model with root(master) assembly file 123456789012345678901234567890.asm.1 and related child files (other assemblies, parts, ...).To open a model file I use the following Java code:...BaseSession session = connection.GetSession();...String modelName = "123456789012345678901234567890";ModelType modelType = ModelType.MDL_ASSEMBLY;String instance = null;String dirName = "C:/test_dir";Model model = null;ModelDescriptor proeModelDescriptor = null;try {proeModelDescriptor = pfcModel.ModelDescriptor_Create(modelType, instance, modelName);session.ChangeDirectory(dirName); model = session.RetrieveModel(proeModelDescriptor);model.Display(); } catch (jxthrowable jxt) {String errorMessage = MessageFormat.format("Cannot open model ''{0}''. jxt = ''{1}''", modelName, jxt.toString()));}This code works fine for CREO version 1 to CREO version 7.But for CREO version 8 and CREO version 9 the

I am using object toolkit C++. Even if I set "RowHighlight" property of table or use SetRowHighlight(true) the row isn't highlighted on selection of a cell in the row. Is there any trick I am missing?

Hello, I am searching for an API to align cell content to center in Creo Object Toolkit C++. But I am not able to find it. Is this supported? If yes how?   

I have some basic geometry that when merged presents different solutions based on the order in which the merge reference quilts are selected. I am not able to explain this when considering the boolean logic resultant from the set intersection. 3 Unique solutions are available depending on the order in which the merge reference quilts are selected.   Can anyone offer an explanation as to why this is the case? See the video for a detailed explanation of my observations. Creo 7.07. (view in My Videos)

Im unable to solidify this simple box because of the extend function. Ive added some images and the Creo model to clarify. My actual model is more complicated but the problem is the same. Playing around with accuracy (also absolute) does not solve the problem. Im not going to use data doctor because it should be a parametric model.  I now solve this by creating an offset and creating another offset back to the original size, then I can solidify this second offset but how do I solve this properly?  Using Creo 70.2.0

Hi All, I have a requirement where I am developing a application which will be deployed to cloud PaaS or SaaS. I need this application to interact with the Creo Parametric and perform actions such as - retrieving and loading a design in a new Creo Session. My first though was to use JLink asynchronous method and deploy the code as Rest API. But this is giving issues related to loading libraries, which I can't seem to resolve. Please help with this requirement. It doesn't matter if this is done synchronously or asynchronously, I just need to establish some sort of connectivity from cloud to on-prem Creo. Thanks,Apoorva

Hello everyone, I can't find if there is a direct way to find out which of the elements in an External Copy Geometry feature have dependencies (children) in the part this feature is in?Example: A part has an External Copy Geometry feature that references a Publish Geometry in a skeleton part. It contains a number of datums. Only some of those datums are actually referenced by the features further down in the part's model tree. I want to simplify the Publish Geometry / External Copy Geometry by removing the datums that are not referenced in the part. Is there an easy way to find out which datums are not used? With the reference viewer I can see which features are dependent on the External Copy Geometry feature, but not which elements from the External Copy Geometry they reference? I hope it's clear what I mean...  The reason for asking is that I want to cleanup the external references and  skeleton part and remove those elements that are no longer used

When I ran the mark deprecated script from Creo 9 on my Creo 5 toolkit files, one of the suggestions I got was "Replace ProGtolDataGet with NONE." Is NONE a function? or is it telling me that it has no suggestion to replace this function with?

Hi,I am having a problem creating a circular pattern of a protrusion in Creo 4.0 .The pattern should distribute evenly around a 360 degrees circle, yet it only fills up half of the circle. Some of the protrusions seem to overlap or just fail.I am having this problem since day one of using Pro/E and Creo. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I must be doing something wrong. Not sure what.I tried 2 different ways.- A dimensional pattern on the base angle of the protrusion- A reference pattern of the protrusion, by first patterning the reference datum plane of the protrusion.Both ways fail.The pattern works, as long as the total angle used is less than 180 degrees. When trying to fill the full 360 degrees, the protrusions overlap or fail.Screenshots are hopefully helpful to understand the problem.  

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 5.0 (connected) Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0We meet a problem while regenerating a coordinate system driven by relation, the dimension is updated but the CS doesn't update. I have already tested in Creo 8 I have the same problem

The analysis runs and simulation gives errors but it doesn't display any errors. Where will I be able to see these errors? 

can we open & modify the trial version data in the design essential.

Creo is not able to fetch license from the license server. This is after connecting to Windchill via VPN. I am getting ping responses if i use the IP address but no response if i use hostname of the server. I have tried changing the server name in the ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE line of the parametric.psf file with no avail. What am I missing or doing wrong here? 

I just got Creo 8.0.5.0 loaded...aaaaand hate it.  The biggest problem is when I load my personalized config.pro file that I've used for ages I get some BS "To use a Deprecated config option..." error message, and as soon as I try and create or redefine a feature, in sketcher I get the dreaded "White Screen of Death", where I can't see ANYTHING, it's just blinding white.  When I get out of sketcher, I get the correct black background.  As it is I can't load my config.pro and so can't get my mapkeys.  Needless to say I'm extremely p!ssed.  I've had problems upgrading Creo before in the past, but nothing like the total show stopper this is.  What I might do is just make a config.pro consisting ONLY of my mapkeys and see if that works.  Way to go, PTC!   Anyone seen or have a solution for this garbage?   Thx!  

I am trying to connect a new Creo 7 install to a Windchill server and I am getting an immediate authentication error. It never challenges for a user name or password. I am using a fresh Creo 7 install and a newly retrieved license file. I am able to connect from Creo 3 and a web browser. I have cleared all of the cached passwords and set the browser_option to "chromium_browser".
