Creo+ and Creo Parametric

First, the parameter part_table_editor is set to "excel" That said, Creo will not allow me to open and edit a table pattern in excel if I already have another excel window open. When attempting to do that it throws this error:  The fix I have found (which is incredibly inefficient) is to close all open excel windows, open the table pattern, then reopen the excel files I am using to generate the data needed for the table pattern. Does anyone know if there is a fix that will allow me to open table patterns in excel without closing all other excel windows? 

When I show annotation for a view to display the MODEL DATUM in a view it appears, I can drag it up or down vertically in the view but, I cant shorten this ridiculously long leader.I have had this issue on many drawings.The datum is attached and along plane on the model.

Hey, I have a symbol in my draft format, when I use this format I want to get this symbol.The problem is the symbol is converted into draft entities and not selectable anymore.I cannot look for it with ProDrawingDtlsymdefVisit and ProDrawingDtlsymdefsCollect.Is there a way to get the symbol definition attached to the format? Thank you!

I am working on drafting , where I have to collect all dimension in drawing for this I used ProDrawingDimensionVisit() function but argument like visitAction & FilterAction need to pass Please help me to create dimension VisitAction Function  

Hello Everybody; one of our users showed me a "it worked perfectly ok yesterday but now it doesnt" issue. He opens two Creo-sessions because he wants to have different backgrounds for the main assembly and the sub-assembly he is working on.- Main assembly opened in session 1- Sub-assembly opened in session 2 versioned number is 1- Changes made in sub-assembly > Save > versioned number is now 2- Regenerates Main-assembly but changes in sub-assembly are missingWhen you open the sub-assembly from the main assembly you can see that its still versioned number 1 ! As my colleague said, he always worked that way and now it doesnt.Cant see anything suspicious in the config.proI can replicate this behaviour on my machine.  However, when he opens both files in ONE session everything is normal and changes are taken over as expected. There were some updates to the system yesterday, but nothing Creo related as far as i know. Has anybody experienced simular b

Hello,Is it possible to configure Creo 8 to set by default the extrusion  of a sheet metal part as symetric  ? Thanks,Best regards,Nicolas GUILLOT

When using Creo standard bulk items I have 2 scenarios.1. bulk item will always display as A/R in the BOM repeat region.  Glues, tape, etc. No prompt when added to an assembly.2. bulk item will always display a value based bom_report_quantity. Tubing, foam, etc. User prompted when added to an assembly to enter the bom_report_quantity. I can get either to work independently but not together. I have tried many variations but I end up with getting the "errors regenerating repeat region relations" when updating the tables. The below attempts return no values for bom_qty#1IF ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY==0BOM_QTY="A/R"ELSEBOM_QTY=rpt_qtyENDIF #2IF EXISTS ("ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY")IF ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY==0BOM_QTY="A/R"ELSEBOM_QTY=rpt_qtyENDIFENDIF The below reports relation errors and will only have a blank for the bulk item with a bom_report_quantity of 0BOM_QTY=rpt_qtyIF EXISTS ("ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY")IF ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY==0BOM_QTY="A/R"ELSEBOM_QTY=rpt_qty

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 and am making a drawing and one of the parts in the assembly has been imported from a .step file. When I take a section of the assembly, the imported part instead of showing just solid lines, shows all of the quilt lines in magenta and purple. So essentially, you are seeing through the part, no longer just the nearest surfaces to the section plane. I have found some threads about using the import data doctor and have tried to make it a solid part, but have had no luck.   Is there a way to fix this in the drawing itself, or does it need to be done in the part?    The first picture is what it looks like when I take a section, the second picture is what it looks like when I dont take a section (what it should look like).                            

How to excude out assembly level features in the BOM?Sometimes supplier's 3D model is an assembly, so i only need top assembly to show in the BOM, how to excude out it's subpart and subassembly items in the BOM? (In solidworks i can simplely check not show in BOM)When you have big assembly file, you group your parts into subassembly file, so i don't care this subassembly in the BOM, all i need is all the parts and subassembly in it. (In Solidworks, i just simplely promote everything in that assemble file then only shows parts in side.)How to export above adjusted BOM into excel? and how to do that without create a drawing? (Solidworks can build BOM table straight in modelling interface)

The below mapkeys create a macro for using the incremental measure functionality. If it is something you use often this is worth automating. I have added this to the UI customization available in Creo 4. It works in part mode and assembly mode.     The mapkey "imdi" calls the measure tool and defines a projection reference using a csys of the current model.   Caveats: I am exploiting the default csys in start models having containing the string "csys_def". It uses a search function that selects a csys whose name contains the following string "*csys_def". If your start part(s) use a name for the default csys that is different you will need to modify the ".fcsx" mapkey accordingly.   Mapkey definitions used follow:   mapkey .fcsx @MAPKEY_NAMEfind def csys in model;@MAPKEY_LABELfind def csys;\mapkey(continued) ~ Key `main_dlg_cur` `proe_win` 9 1141 53 38141958 0 1451 868 1920 1200 \mapkey(continued) 11931661 `Ctrl+F`;~ Command `ProCmdMdlTreeSearch` ;\mapkey(conti

Hey guys, I'm on Creo Parametric 6.0 and I created 2 mapkeys to turn on/off a grid for any .drw files and I would like to know if it's possible to create a toggle in order to have only 1 mapkey for both the actions. I saw that when you have 1 for on and 0 for off, you could remove the number to create the toggle but here we have #SHOW GRID or #HIDE GRID.   The 2 mapkeys are as follows :   mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `page_Sketch_control_btn` 1;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdDwgDraftGrid` ;#GRID PARAMS;#X&Y SPACING;15;#DONE/RETURN;\mapkey(continued) #HIDE GRID;~ Command `ProCmdObjActUI` 1;   mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `page_Sketch_control_btn` 1;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdDwgDraftGrid` ;#GRID PARAMS;#X&Y SPACING;15;#DONE/RETURN;\mapkey(continued) #SHOW GRID;~ Command `ProCmdObjActUI` 1;   Thank you in advance.

Apologies, I know there's multiple threads on this, but a lot of them are several years older or more and some of the links no longer work. Does anyone know of or have any recommended sites for training material on using the Import Data Doctor?

Hello,In Schematics, several persons can edit the central catalog (this is useful), but the problem is that a person can overwrite the current version with an old outdated version. How to make it so that it is impossible, having an outdated version, to make a new version out of it? To first update to the current one, edit it and then make a new version of it. Like in Windchill with CAD-documents: .prt and .asm.

Hi all, recently, I was messing around with the import settings for STEP files.  I didn't think I was saving any of these import options into some import configuration but since then something seems amiss as I often wind up with this situation: Sometimes changing the settings to "ignore" the error works (in that the warning light goes away) but I have had times where the error started coming back after trying to make further changes to the imported model.   Looking for any advice from anyone with experience with these import validation errors, or STEP import settings and where they are "stored" in a typical Creo installation and how to restore them to default settings?

Hello,I have two randomly points on the 3d curve. I want to create 5 evenly distributed points between two initial points and on that curve. How do I achieve this?Thanks,Richard

We have users located overseas (UK, Spain) who have reported that while using Creo Parametric, their systems lag to the point where "it's almost unusable" - I've done video calls where I can see as they scroll or type, there is a 5-10 second lag in the system. It does not start immediately upon launch, some users have reported delays of anywhere from 2-10 minutes before things start to slow. I have had them reinstall Creo, double check their graphics drivers, and ensure their Java is compatible. We had a call with a PTC rep who had one of the users disable much of his graphics capability, and this failed to stop the lag. They claim that one of the users was able to unplug his ethernet cable and Creo resumed running smoothly, until he plugged everything back in. The license server is located in the US, we're running Parametric 7.0.3.0

Hi All, i have been Creo user for quite a long time but once in a while i face some issues when it comes with flat pattern ( Just once in a while) For example The current version is use is Creo 6.0.2.0 There is a cut-out on my part and after i change the location of the part its not updating in the flat pattern even though in the draft its shown as a fully updated part (but if we go to the model tree and update that particular feature it will be updating in flat pattern as well but this process is quite time consuming when we deal with big assemblies) Did anyone faced problem like this? IF yes please help me out.   Thanks in advance, Laiju Yohannan

Hi All, I am exploring jlink asynchronous method and I see in the jlink user guide that the syntax to start a noninteractive, nongraphical creo parametric session is as follows - pfcAsyncConnection.pfcAsyncConnection.AsyncConnection_Start("pro -g:no_graphics -i:rpc_input",<text_dir>);where pro is the command to start Creo Parametric.I am not sure what I should put as 'pro' command. I have tried giving the path to parametric.exe in the Creo installation directory in C drive  as value of 'pro'. It worked if I give the relative path, but doesn't work for absolute path since mine has spaces in it and it doesn't get processed properly.Is there a way to establish a session without providing the path to parametric.exe? If it is mandatory, then is there way to process the absolute path which has spaces? Since I am planning to develop a rest service from where I will call the API to start a session, I can't use the relative path and if possible would like to completely avoi
