Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi,I am very new to Creo customization, I was looking to get number of sheets and sheet format of current drawing. I am able to get number of sheets but unfortunately I am not able to get Sheet Format. Here is the code below Set conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5)Set session = conn.sessionSet model = session.CurrentModelSet oSheetOwner = modelDim oSheetallNumber As LongoSheetallNumber = oSheetOwner.NumberOfSheetsDim SheetFormat As IpfcDrawingFormatSet SheetFormat = oSheetOwner.GetSheetFormat(1) "SheetFormat" does not have any value in this case. 

Does anyone know how to reference original and vardim dimensions in a relation?   Specifically I want to write a relation that has the inherited dimension that is in the vardim table to have the opposite sign (negative) as the original dimension. By clicking on the feature or using the find command, I can get the vardim dimension but I can't seem to reference the original dimension.   Also as a side note does anyone know how to see a list of the dimensions that have been added to the vardim table and or how to delete them from the vardim table?

Looking through a number of fastener libraries we have access to, I'm noticing that they handle material assignment differently. No actual material assigned, just a density assigned to the genericMultiple materials assigned, but instead of adding the material to the family table they added the density. Which seems odd to me.The default load point PTC fastener lib has neither density or material assigned. So what would you do if you were designing a fastener library from scratch? Would you assign multiple materials, and then add the material to the family table so it can be selected?I suppose you could have a nested family table for a screw type, say socket head cap screw, then ask the user to pick the material next.Or you could put the material choice last after thread diameter & length and not nest the family table.Looking for suggestions and a discussion to guide my thinking on what to do with our current libraries.  

Hello dear members, what are the ways in which I can hide and unhide the axis created by Extrusion? (The Axis display command controls the visibility of all axis together, I would like to control visibility for particular extrude feature). I tried to select the axis and did Hide, how can I unhide it again? Thanks.

Hello, I am having an issue where when I create an axis, it does not appear to be in the correct position and is in fact in a wild poisition. For example, I create a new sketch, select two of the coordinate planes (Front and Right for example) and then click "Axis". You would expect this axis to show up as a line intersecting the intersection points of the two planes. However, what shows up has no visible relation to the two selected planes. See "creo pic 4". Another example is when I use "revolve". I create a sketch with an axis and a shape (square in the picture) and the revolve works perfectly, but the axis of revolution is totally wrong and shifts as I pan/zoom around creo. See picture 1 and 2.The last example is when using construction lines in a sketch. The construction shapes appear in totally different places from where I place them. See picture 3. In this example, I placed the construction circle in the exact same location as the "real" circle, but it shows up in a t

I'm looking to download the free trial for Creo: Parametric and I'm not sure where to get started. Thanks

I am using Creo Parametric 9.0.0I would need to know if the IpfcModel.InstanceName is a unique identifier.In case it isn't, is there a way to uniquely identify a IpfcModel?Thank you in advance

Hello All, Has anybody had problems when using Excel Analysis and linking feature dimensions to an excel file values? It works at first but later the program creates a temporary file (a copy of the original excel file) and stops updating the values...Let mw know, Thank you,  

HI!, Can you help me to understand this message and how to fix it?It's the first time I see it,  Thank you 

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0, Date code M060 with Dell and Nvidia hardware.Creo 4 graphics respond slowly while Creo 7 works well on the same machine. Same issue occurs on multiple computers. We have confirmed Creo 4 is using the Nvidia graphics card. I could not find recommended settings from PTC or Nvidia. Need advice regarding Creo & Nvidia settings to improve Creo 4 usability.The computers are Dell Precision 5810 with Nvidia P2200 graphics. The systems are not reporting any error messages, just acting very slow with Creo 4.

I'm trying to create holes in a part that depends on its lenght. If the part has a lenght >= than 2000mm the hole should appear with a certain distance from the middle. If it's <= than 1000mm the holes shouldn't appear.  How can I do that? I tried to write it as an IF condition but the holes are appearing in both cases.

Hello.I'm designing a large assembly, and have been using IFX fasteners for auto fitting dowel pins and it's been working great. But then I use IFX to place some socket head cap screws, and it loads them just fine, but after installing them, it won't let me save the file. It says "error writing file, check disk space or permissions". If I try to do a save as, there is a yellow triangle with exclamation point next to the cap screw model and says "object is modified and will be saved" if i hover over it. Next to the fixture plate model (first model in the assembly tree) it has the red "X" and says "references renamed model "fiture_plate.asm". I have no issues regenerating or saving before adding the fastener. Any ideas?

Hey, I am developing a C++ Toolkit plugin,  but I don`t not want to load creotk.dat manually in config.pro or even in Aux Applications. Is their any way to alternative method to do that.

Hello Developers,Need your input on developing and sharing the installers to end users for the development done using JLink.Also I want to keep the installer specific to Creo Version.Right now I have done with the development of Creo Automation using JLink. Looking for the way to share a simple installation file rather a traditional protk.dat approach.Waiting for your inputsThanks in advance

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0PDF not updated by custom checkin when selecting 'Models and Viewables', even though I get the message "PDF file has been created". This only happens for some drawing files, others are OK. We have no recipe file for the CreoView adaptor, system or local client.

Hello, I am struggling with giving a thicken a surface in just one direction, that's the X one, and then I need to do the same for every surface I have created with a pattern. But I have realized within the Thicken tool in Options there's Controlled fit and you can choose the direction - but I did some trials and it didn't work (it creates the thickness only normal to surface) It's not too evident, but every surface is flat and focused - so the mid one is straight and the others have an inclination (the more you go to outwards the more the angle is higher).Probably I am unaware of how thicken works - anyway there is also a picture with an inclined surface to show how I apply Thicken to have the extrusion just in one direction. Do you have any suggestion ? Thanks a lot !Nicola 

The issue is an erractic display in the embedded browser. See below for more detail and some screenshots.   This is a 100% reproducible issue as follows: Creo Parametric 4.0 M010-M030 haven't tried F000 This is not an issue with Creo Parametric 3.0 config.pro option windows_browser_type chromium_browser This is not an issue when using ie_browser Windows 10 have tried both version 1511 and 1703 Windows 7 doesn't have this issue. Windows Scale and Layout set to something larger than 100% common on higher resolution (> 1920 x 1200/1080) monitors to set this larger than 100% 150% is common on a 4k monitor With the above setup the embedded browser contains fuzzy content. Looks the same as zoomming greater than 100% on an image in an image viewer. Looks like this: Then as soon as you move your mouse inside the browser window and interact with something like a link or icon the content re-scales itself into the upper lh corner of the browser window as shown here.

Hi, I need your help! I need to display a dialog with a list of message, but I have no many example with ProUILabel and what I did always fail. I tried to put code below inside a loop with an incrementing DIALOG_LABEL and label_text as message:ProUIDialogLabelAdd(DIALOG_NAME,DIALOG_LABEL,&grid_opts);ProMessageToBuffer(label_txt, user_msg_new, "board_selection");ProUILabelTextSet(DIALOG_NAME,DIALOG_LABEL,label_txt); Is there a easier way to display the box with list of message? Is  ProUIDialogLabelAdd and ProUILabelTextSet fit for that? Thank you!   

Hello, I know this question has been posted numerous times before, but I couldn't find a specific answer to what I was looking for. I have a text string parameter for a pattern of holes, such as &PATTERN_NO which is 4 I want to add the text "X" after it to show "4X" without a space between, such as &PATTERN_NOX but it doesn't work. The only way to work is to add a space &PATTERN_NO X which is 4 X. Is there is a way to do this without adding a space?

Hello, Is it possible to temporarily suspend verification of instances in a Family Table?  I have a catalog part with 3000+ instances.  I need to make a handful of changes to the generic.  I don't exactly know what feature sequence I need to accomplish the needed changes, so there is going to be a process of creative destruction.  But every time I make a change, Creo regenerates the entire family.  Even without clicking Verify or ModelCHECK.  At 3000+ instances, at ~1 second per instance, it takes an hour to verify the table.  I estimate I need about 26 features to accomplish the changes I need.  If I make exactly zero mistakes or mis-clicks, it will take about 4 days to implement the changes.  The part is small and relatively simple, so modeling the generic itself isn't hard.  Just waiting for the instances to regenerate is painful. Ultimately, I want to be able to modify the generic without regenerating the instances until I

I am new to PTC Creo (company currently using Creo 3.0) and was wondering there is a way to create a keyboard shortcut to snap a model to a stand orientation (front, back, right, etc.)?  I was formerly on SolidWorks and you could hit CTRL+1 for front view, CTRL+2 for back, etc.  Is it possible to create these shortcuts in PTS creo 3.0?  Thanks.
