Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi All,I’m trying to find out if it’s possible to create a new exploded view and adjust the positions of the components.I’ve created a mapkey to generate a new view, and that part works fine. However, I’m having trouble figuring out how to move the components. I don’t have access to the full toolkit, so I’m looking for creative ways to accomplish this.Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.4.0Can not mirror part along the plane properly in assembly if selected "Reuse existing model". Works ok if selected "Create a new model". Just toggling that option creates parts in two different locations

This is my first independent attempt at a dynamic mechanism analysis.I have four horizontal sliders on a slide base that has a dove tail groove down the middle.The sliders have a rectangular shape, with straight plane faces, and are all 100 mm wide.The first slider is a servo motor, start position 0 and the end position is 900.Sliders 2, 3, 4 have start positions 200, 400 and 600 respectively, and end position 900.Distance between sliders is 100 mm.I have set Collision Detection to Global Detection and to Push Objects upon collision. My starting problem was establishing the proper 3D Contacts between the four sliders, and I made a mess of it in the end.Out of sheer desperation I added masses to all sliders (picked steel in the end, as I had a lot of problems with brass, for unknown reasons) and I fumbled with Damping = 80, Young’s modulus = 2e6 to 5e6 and Poisson = 0.30 (without really understanding how these really work).This is one of the error messages from that stage:"The prop

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0I want to create a limit belnd between 14 sections, the first one is a rectangle the others 13 are rectangles whose upper edge has been replaced by an arc. Creo doesnt allow me to do that. Why? whant can i do?

Hi,is it possible to perform a calculation based on an if-statement in a drawing repeat region relation?Prerequisite:Model units: mm Kg s I would like to multiply mdl_pro_mp_mass by 1000 if model parameter mass_unit is set to g instead of kg. Something like this:mass_display = mdl_pro_mp_massif mass_unit == "g"mass_display = mdl_pro_mp_mass * 1000endif It's only the IF that doesn't work; the calculation works fine if tested separately. It works in a Post Regeneration relation in the model (using pro_mp_mass instead of mdl_pro_mp_mass), but I would like to not add the relation in the model. Tested on both Creo 9.0.3.0 and 11.0.6.0 Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! 🖖

Hi there,I was creating few annotation in creo drawing, so there i want to add custom symbols in my annotation.I tried to finding where this symbols are saved but i can find it, i found one way but it was for adding pre defined symbols in note (By &sym(symbol name) but that does not work for annotation.so my question is, how we can add custom symbols in annotation (i.e. in Prefix/Suffix).

Hi, I used to use Publish Geometry and skeletons with my Creo3 Advanced XE.I now have a Creo7 Essentials licence.One of Optional Modules : #Optional Modules = ASSY_PERFORMANCE.But it seems that I can't use Published Geometry.Is this normal?Any advice?Thank you 

Hello everyone! Is there a way for select only a portion on a line? For example I want to select one portion of the line with one style and another portion of the same line with a different style. For now i can only select the whole line. In the screenshot i want the part in violet to be a different style from the green one part. Creo allow me to only select the whole line. I found this Advanced Selection Functions  but i can't find this menu, can you please tell me how i can activate it? As always thank you 

Hello,I'm currently working on Creo3.I have a licence file for Creo7 (permanent) that I need for a new client.I d'ont have subscription anymore.When I'm trying to add this licence file (txt) while installing Creo7, installer seems to freeze.File is for my computer.Should I remove my previous licence ?But I'm afraid to can not be able to work...Thanks 

Hi, I'm not able to show a component placement dimension (distance constraint) on an assembly drawing in Creo Parametric 10.  Would anyone know what config option needs to be changed or what I need to do to allow dimensions related to component placement to be shown?  I'm able to show dimension for feature internal to the part only. Thanks for any help you may provide,Don A

There are a plethora of discussions on converting real numbers to strings.  While PTC tech support does provide two working suggestions, they are not simple.  Beyond that, I have been unable to find anything on the PTC Community that will work in all cases.  (See list at bottom.)  With that as the background, here is my attempt at a robust real-to-string function that I believe works correctly for all positive numbers.  Please test this out and let me know if you can find any errors with it.   /* Real NumberX = 12.34567 /* Number of DigitsND = 3 /* Rounded NumberRN = FLOOR((X+(5/10^(ND+1))),ND) /* String Output - No Leading ZeroY = ITOS(FLOOR(RN))+"."+EXTRACT(ITOS((RN-FLOOR(RN)+1)*10^(ND)),2,ND)   * To get a zero before the decimal point for values less than one, a conditional statement is required:   /* String Output With Leading Zero IF FLOOR(RN) == 0     Y = "0."+EXTRACT(ITOS((RN-FLOOR(RN)+1)*10^(ND)),2,ND) ELSE   &nbs

This is an annoying fringe issue. But I have tables with notes (notes have two lines of string values) and sometimes when I update a string value the note doesn't update in the BOM automatically. Nor does it update when I update tables. It seems to only update when I go to modelling and make sure it's regenerated and go to annotations click on the note and look at the text in text editor and then update tables.  Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Maybe next time it happens I'll check whether it prints the correct info and creo is just showing the old info.

I have an old version of Wildfire 5 still running on a very old laptop. I would like to install the software on my new laptop as the oridgal laptop is on its last legs. But because I am no longer on maintenance this appears to be impossible. Login to my account then go to support and I am hit the same stone wall, you are not on maintenance. You cannot proceed bla bla bla. Is there a solution? Please help.

Draftsmen have two Screen, how to proceed to display Creo in only one window ? (a extended mode) Thanks for your help Best regards

Dear Team,We operate in an environment where several industries use Creo Parametric for the creation and editing of appearances applied to parts and wires. We are currently using Creo Parametric version 12.0.2.0.We would like to suggest an improvement related to the organization of custom appearances. Currently, all created appearances are grouped under the “My Appearance” tab, which mixes appearances intended for wires, solid models, and sheet metal. This limitation directly affects organization and workflow efficiency.Our suggestion is to allow the creation of new custom tabs or categories within the Appearance Manager, enabling users to separate appearances by application type (wires, solids, sheet metal, among others).This functionality would significantly improve ease of use when creating and editing appearances, as well as provide better color organization. As a direct result, it would also help reduce design time, leading to increased productivity and cost savings for companies.

Pro/Toolkit link error: “unresolved external symbol ProDimensionBaselineDirectionGet” — which library to link, and how to map APIs to libs?I’m building a Creo Parametric Pro/Toolkit application and I’m hitting a linker error when calling ProDimensionBaselineDirectionGet().Error : unresolved external symbol ProDimensionBaselineDirectionGet referenced in DIMVisitAction(...) — LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals.Already added libraries : protoolkit_NU.lib, pt_asynchronous.lib, ucore.lib, udata.lib, kernel32.lib, user32.lib, wsock32.lib, advapi32.lib, mpr.lib, winspool.lib, netapi32.lib, psapi.lib, gdi32.lib, shell32.lib, comdlg32.lib, ole32.lib, ws2_32.lib.Questions:Which specific Toolkit library contains ProDimensionBaselineDirectionGet()?What’s the recommended way to determine the required library for any given Pro/Toolkit API (e.g., doc index, API Wizard mapping, or dumpbin on .lib files)?Thanks in advance for your support!!

Hi, i hope to be in the right place for my question.I'm playing with Creo Live and i'm doing some CFD analisys on a mecnanical structure, i've manged to have the simulation running (it's similar to the wind tunnel example file).I was trying to get the total forces on a body or a set of surfaces but i have zero cluse on how to setup a measurent.Any help is wellcome.

Hi all,I'm working in Creo Parametric Mechanism to model a pinion and crown gear assembly with axial/radial offset between their axes. This is not a standard intersecting-bevel gear setup — the pinion and crown gear must mesh with a deliberate offset between their axes.However, when I attempt to apply the built-in Bevel Gear Connection, Creo throws: "The references for bevel gear connection are not coplanar”.How can I simulate bevel gear kinematics when the pinion and crown gears are offset (i.e., non-coplanar axes)? 

I need to retrieve the X, Y, Z, and C offsets of all components in an assembly relative to the main part’s coordinate system. Ideally, I’d like to export these values into an external file (CSV or TXT).Is there a built-in method or mapkey/API/Toolkit solution to automate this?

Hello,Would it be possible to request an enhancement to ModelCheck?Specifically, I would like ModelCheck to be able to verify the Bend Allowance settings. For example, I would like to check that for sheetmetal parts, the “Bend allowance driven by” option is correctly set to be driven by the material.Even further, I would like to validate that the Sheetmetal Preferences are consistent with the smtdsnsetup.smd configuration file.Thank you in advance if this request could be considered.Adrien Blazy

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.2.0Hi, our company recently installed Creo 12.4. It is now in the standar configuration (inch, pound, standard ambient, exc... ). We want to transfer the personalized configuration from the version used till today (Creo 9) to the new installed version. How can we achieve this?PS. We have also a Creo Simulation pack.

Hi AllI have a surface in a copy-geom which references many features in my model.I now want to create a surface feature and remove the copy_geom so that it is no longer dependent  on my skeleton model.Is there a way to reroute all the references in one go?Creo Software version 10.0.8.0

Hello, Looking for an explanation of some strange results I am getting in Creo simulate.  I am wondering if I have the model setup incorrectly.  The model is not that complicated.  its a bolted assembly with some external masses (sensors) that are associated to the bracket via mass elements and weighted links.   I am trying to understand displacement of the mass elements when they are excited at resonance.  The oddity I am seeing is the massive displacement at frequency 0 (clearly not a real result).   Any help or thoughts on this matter would be great!  See the details i have posted below.
