Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We recently installed 7.0.8.0 and I am having some difficulty in constraining a sketch.   I want to keep the squiggle below at a constant thickness.  As I constrain the center points of the inner arcs to the outer arcs, some of the coincident constraints that I just created disappear.  When I recreate them, others will disappear.  Anyone else experiencing this this issue or have an idea of what is going on?  

Hello Dear Community, Is there any way to automatically assign the Feature Name (KE-Name in German) to every pattern element?In the model tree it looks like the instance gets the parent's name with a [x] extension, but the real Feature Name is empty for these objects. (Of course, when I modify the instance's name by hand, it will be transferred to the Feature Name as well.)I've found no configuration option or anything for this. Thank you in advance!

Currently composite design is disabled by default in Creo.Refer to Article - CS77071 - How to create composite part using Pro/COMPOSITE module in Creo Parametric (ptc.com), we can enable this by hidden config.pro option enable_part_subtype_composite to yes, but it is still in very old menu manager style, also a lots of functionalities are limited.Do somebody know whether PTC has a plan to modernize Composite Design?Composite Design is a very important for many product design with composite material, why PTC still ignore this in design workflow?

Hello there!When I do a part model check, there are relation errors " Unitless value assignment for symbol" How can this issue be resolved? Thanks, Bob

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140the intelligent fastener extension does not appear in the "tools" window of Creo. I was wondering how I install or use it.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0after new installation, it cannot startHere are the errors that I facedcannot start, and no xtop and no logsTried to follow the guide of https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS258965, but still the same thingBTW, the user also has Creo 4.0 installed on the same PC. Should he remove Creo 4.0 first or?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.2.0We are having issues with Creo 8.0.2.0 latency launching on a virtual environment.Problems we are running into is the latency of Creo 8.0 takes about four minutes for Creo 8 to launch with three different installs.Creo is locally installed.For couple of days after our testing took about 16-20 seconds for Creo 8 to launch.Now we are back to latency takes about 4 minutes to launch Creo 8.0 on all 3 environments.No issues with Creo 4.0 M140 on the same environment.What we like to understand what is needed and required technically on the background for Creo 8.2.0 to run and launch is there anything different comparing this with Creo 4.0.- Any new services on the back end of Creo 8.0, is it FlexNet license please advise.Here are the errors that I facedWe are having issues with Creo 8.0.2.0 latency launching on a virtual environment.

when I creat flat harnesses,i always fail to fan out.It prompts "Some wire/cable(s) were not fanned out due to insufficient length."I have some pics here:so,any help or some tips?thanks.

Has anyone seen this or have a suggestion for fixing it?When I simulate a cut in moduleworks on Creo 9, it sometimes creates a random large circle that, of course, gouges the part.  Path simulation in Creo shows no such circle.  And when I run the part in real life, there are no problems.  But it really messes up my machining simulations.  I've had this on a couple of parts now.  On the part in the picture below, the red represents a gouge.    I tried reducing the "interpolation tolerance" as well as the "collision tolerance", but neither eliminates the circle. 

Hello, how can I measure the volume of  formula-driven lattice?   

Thread milling seems broken in Creo 8.  I used a template that worked fine in Creo 7, but now in Creo 8, the lead-in radius is the wrong direction.  It's still tangent, but the wrong way.  I can't get it to change and have to switch to a radial entry so that there is no radius.  Is this a bug, or am I doing it wrong?  

A few years ago, I did some experiments for using the ability of Creo View to show two windows with parts being cross selected between the 3D model and the harness done in Creo Schematics.  Select an item in the schematic and it would highlight in the model.  At the time, I could not get enough of the items from the schematic to have the proper data in the EDA file for the linking to be practical without a lot of manual work.I have heard via the Tech Committee for Routed Systems that some parameters may need to be set to make the linking work well but I have forgotten who the person was that commented about it.If you know someone that has successfully used this feature, can you comment here.  This could be a great help to service or support people.

I am considering when to upgrade to Windows 11.Creo 7.0.7.0 is supposed to support Windows 11 (CS348041) but the Hardware Notes and Creo Parametric 7.0.7.0 Release Matrix do not state this.Is this a missed update to documentation, or is Windows 11 not supported yet?Future Support Article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS348041Release Matrix: https://release-advisor.ptc.com/releaseMatrix?releaseId=749Hardware Notes: https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/support/refdocs/Creo_Parametric/7,-d-,0/creo7_hardware_notes.pdf?sc_lang=en  

Howdy!I am having issue with Family Table.  The latest version (2.5) of the main file 123-456-XX.asm refers to non-latest version of the instances (ex: -01, -02, -03).  Is there a way to update the main assembly so that it refers to the latest version of all instances? I hope that make sense.  We switched over to a different CAD software MANY years ago and I am VERY rusty with Pro/INTRALINK.  Also, because we are using Pro/INTRALINK 10.0 M030, it is no longer supported by PTC. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

Hi guys, I'm continuing my work to turn some of my mapkeys into a toggle (on / off) (Previous mapkey : https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/Mapkey-Toggle-Grid-HIDE-Grid-SHOW-Grid/m-p/793262#M11178).Today, I want to turn a mapkey, which exclude a part of an assembly from a representation, into a toggle where there is the possibility to include back the part. Code to exclude the part : mapkey ee @MAPKEY_LABELExclude the part from the representation;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Timer `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `popupMenuRMBTimerCB`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Close `rmb_popup` `PopupMenu`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Trail `MiniToolbar` `MiniToolbar` `UIT_TRANSLUCENT` `NEED_TO_CLOSE`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdViewExclude@PopupMenuGraphicWinStack`; Nevertheless, I'm having trouble finding a way to create a mapkey which deactivate the exclusion for the part selected. I want the selected part to go from the status "Exclude" to "No specific status" but I can't find the way to make

I'm designing a simple stent but it seems that the sketch i put as a hole identifeis a shape. is there a way in creo to set which is a shape and which is a hole?  

Hello there,   I have a small problem with a drawing that I have been working on. I am using a table to call out some spring specs by calling out the parameter directly. All of our springs are controlled by a family table so the idea was to create a drawing where you could "Replace View Model" and instantly have a drawing that has all the info for the new part. The problem is the table wont update because the parameters are all followed by a session ID that still links to the old model that was replaced. If I manually remove the session ID from the parameter the table will update.   Is there a way to automatically update the session ID to the ID of the new model?   Thanks friends

SYS_PARAMETER - what is it? <PORT name="4" physicalName="4" ><SYS_PARAMETER id="obj686919693-104" /><PARAMETER name="ENTRY_PORT" value="4"/><PARAMETER name="LAYER" value="DEF_LINES"/><PARAMETER name="NAME_FORMAT" value="#"/> id="obj686919693 - is it harness?-104" - what is it?

Hello Friends,I have to collect snap line from particular view , Make it delete & erase , Is there any API to collect the snap line from drawing , -Kunal Bidkar

Hello everyone,I used family table to create two parts. In the generic part datum A was created on a plane. But this plane (feature) is suppressed in the instance part, so one error occored. But the change and this datum A is needed in the instance part. Could you please tell me how to do it with MBD? Thanks in advance.BrSun

Is there a way to create pattern in two opposite directions by using plane as directional reference with varying members and spacing? See attach image, I have 5 members at 200 spacing in one direction and want 6 members at 250 in exactly opposite direction.

If i run the following code in windows scripting host running in either wsh or csh. This works fine in Creo 7 and 8 but reports: pfcExceptions::XToolkitObsoleteFunc in Creo 9 on the para.Value call. If this truly is obsolete function? If it is obsolete is there a list of what was deprecated? Or is it just a installation problem? Code distilled to smallest possible repeatable unit. Open a part or assembly into creo. Put following into a file with .js extension and run the file in windows scripting host (usually just double clicking of file but other programs might have hijacked the function so...).  var assCon = WScript.CreateObject('pfcls.pfcAsyncConnection'); var paraName = 'DESCRIPTION'; var conn = assCon.Connect('','','.',1); var session = conn.session; var mdl = session.CurrentModel; var para = mdl.GetParam(paraName); var val = para.Value; WScript.Echo(paraName + " = \"" + val.StringValue+"\""); conn.Disconnect(2);

Hey guys, For instance:for (int j=0; j<5; j++){ProMessageDisplay(message_file_init, "PTAFEX ERROR %0s", somevariable[j]);} I have something like below, the text is always the same, only differs the last word which is the variable somevariable[j].When I launch it with Creo, it only prints the last text message when j=4.What am I doing wrong and what shall I do so that all messages from j = 0 to 4 get printed? Thank you!

Creo Parametric 7.07.0   The insert bar is disabled without known cause. This is one example where it is grey until I expand a group immediately preceding it and then it goes active. I have had different scenarios cause it to go grey that do not make sense. This is the first one I have captured and documented.   Has anyone else experienced this In Creo 7+? The only thing I found in the knowledge base was a reference to a corrupt creo_parametric_customization.ui file.    This is in part mode. The models are proprietary so I can not post them. Example of what reactivates it in the tree.
