Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Wanted to turn off the save_file_iterations feature and so I followed the recommended steps by going into the configuration editor and changing it no. Now when I open a creo file and check the configuration editor, it still says the save file iterations is turned off but when I save, it continues to save multiple files. It’s as if it’s not listening to it’s on configuration or something is overriding it… 

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 8.0 (connected) Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.3.0Hey PTC,we are currently updating our student computers to Windows11. On some machines, the creo installation properly opens and the software can be installed. However, we have some machines, on which nothing happens if we try to launch the installation (setup.exe) of Creo Parmetric 8.0.3.0. So after double clicking on setup.exe, the installer does not open.Kind regards,Arn

Hey,  I have created a table with ProDrawingTableCreate, it creates the table in the current sheet.My question is how do I create or copy the same table in all drawing sheets.I can get the  sheet's number with ProDrawingSheetsCount and loop on it, but I don't have an idea on how to place the same table in all of it. Thank you! 

Hi, I try to convert this 3d-scanned propeller into a surface- or solid model. As you can see I created sections/curves using the restyle tool (intersection with different planes).Then I exited the restyle-feature and tried to use the loft/blend-command to connect the section-curves, but I i coudn't select the section-curves.Then I used the style-environment and was able to create a surface between some of the sections:  That worked well, but when I tried to add another section then the profile is twisted: There is a white point (starting point ? ), but it doesn't happen anything when I move the point on the curve. It jumps back when I release the mousebutton. The other side looks like this at the moment and I'm not sure how to propperly close the surface. Is my approach the right way to go or is there a better way ?How can I get rid of the twisted profile ?And how would you create the other end of the propeller ?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM060I have a student running Creo 4.0 that is continually getting a crash during normal operation of Creo at random times. It is rare for her to be able to use Creo for mor than 10 minutes before it crashes. The error from Creo before it closes says to submit the traceback to support. The traceback log is pasted in the error messages (until it runs out of room). If there is a way to submit the traceback file, let me know.Thanks you for your help and please let me know what our next step should be.Here are the errors that I faced-------------------------------------------------The trace creation timestamp is: Mon Mar 21 09:55:54 22The executable build timestamp is: Mon Jul 30 08:51:14 18The datecode is: 2018190The pro machine type is: x86e_win64The process ID is: 1268The traceback type is : CRASHThe logger exit status is: 00003The Trail is: PRO_trl.txt.4The release is: 4.0The external datecode is: M060The product title is: Creo Parametr

As per this thread, related issue:   Hi @TomU do you know if there is a working tool for new creo versions too? We use Creo 7.0.4.0 and we're hardly missing this tool! I do not understand why this is no standard for Creo OOTB ...

Hey guys, I have created a table with ProDrawingTableCreate command, and I wonder if there is a way to rename it.Do you know a command that does it? Thank you very much!

Hello, I'm working on a simulation of flow in combustion chamber. I am trying to setup the model in order to validate the model based on data from experiment. Since I'm using Pressure inlet as a boundary condition for inflow to said combustion chamber instead of using the whole cylinder for the simulation (which would be very computation resource consuming) I tried to pre-calculate a velocity field inside of my simulation domain to subside the missing cylinder volume. Then I wanted to adjust the model with said velocity field as initial condition, however it seems like the only possibility is to use integral values for the entire simulation domain. Is there really no way to use already simulated velocity field as an initial condition for further simulations (sure with the same mesh)? Thanks for any reply

Hi All, I'm interested in maximizing the number of pattern members on irregularly shaped 2D areas. The fill pattern comes close but does not deviate from the grid pattern (i.e square, hexagonal, spiral, etc.) or allow variable spacing between members. Has anyone found a workaround to automatically optimize the number of members that can fit on a given area?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM100I have made mechanism and animation of engine component on Creo Parametric 4.0. I assume that there is some issue with frame rate because video is not smooth. Please extend your support to resolve this issue.Here are the errors that I facedNo error received.

I have looked all over for an answer for this, but I have yet to find an answer. Is there a way for me to make a file (.PAT) which CREO reads on opening, so that when a cut section is made only predefined hatch patters are used in the drawing? This is with regards to assembly drawings btw.  I have figured out how to make a .PAT file from which I can choose predefined patterns, but I have not been able to define the file as the default directory.I am currently in CREO 4.0 and we do not used material selection in PTC CREO. So it will not work to assign different hatches to different materials.Thank you for any reply.

I have the set tessellation parameters as below: step size is assigned with model size ( diagonal of the bounding box ) / 30.chord height is set by fetching the model accuracy using the GetAbsoluteAccuracy() method.Angle control is set to 1.I am not getting a better result using this. The quality and the curves or circles in the model are not accurate. I am using creo parametric object toolkit version 8.0.2.

Hello,For many years, I'm using Creo (Pro/E) on local HDD.In each folder project, I had a .cmd script that launch Creo 2, 3...)So, local config.pro, appearances were loads for each project, depending on my clients.Now, I can't do this with Creo8.Batch (cmd) files doesn't works anymore.So, what could be a good solution for starting Creo in a specific folder, loading global AND local config.pro and could open local files ?Now, Opening file start-up in "My Documents"...Thanks a lot.

I have a guy that’s playing around with adding some new parameters to COTS parts to have the BOM table display different parameters for those specific parts. I have the BOM table relations displaying the results the way he wants them, but not using the logic he wants. He wants to use a YES NO parameter to determine what gets displayed in the BOM table.I just can’t get that to work. And yes all the parameters displayed and not displayed in the table are in the Local Parameters when editing the table relations, so that’s not the issue. Here is what works:This displays both the normal parts without the added COTS parameters and the COTS parts /* RELATIONS FOR PART NO COLUMNnew_part_no="MISSING PARAMETER" if exists("asm_mbr_bom_part_no")new_part_no=asm_mbr_bom_part_noendif if exists("asm_mbr_part_number")new_part_no=asm_mbr_part_numberendif if exists("asm_mbr_vendor_part_no")new_part_no=asm_mbr_vendor_part_noendif  What he wants the logic to look lik

I'm trying to work through one of the CFA advanced tutorials for multi-component mixing on a model of a mixing nozzle and I'm having trouble with defining the boundary conditions. The tutorial is telling me to first define the total flow as a Specified Volumetric Flux and then define the components as a Specified Value. It appears to me that the Specified Values are a percent of the Specified Volumetric Flux. (See the attached Multicomp_dir) Makes sense to me. The problem is that the Program doesn't work this way. When I set the mixture to Specified Volumetric Flux the program doesn't let you select Specified Value for the components, it only allows Specified Volumetric Flux. (See Multicomp_CFA) So what am I supposed to do? Calculate and enter the Volumetric Flux of each componet at the various boundaries?Also, on the Nozzle_Side_Inlet I expected the Specified Values for the components to add up to 1.0 but they don't. The tutorial says 0.99 for O2 and 0.9 for H2O. Is this a typo?

Hi,     We are a small company that is starting to use creo now and we have all our files on Dropbox.  The issues I am having is once I create an assembly and save it and then go to reopen it it is not finding the parts used to create the assembly.   I know there is something in the search path that is wrong but not sure how to fix it.

Related to this topic:   Please explain how to obtain the invTess value? Also, how do you calculate the step size for an Assembly?

I have a sheet metal bin that was initially 26.69" from side to side. I want to reduce that by 7". At 19.90", Bend_Back_1 fails. I found that @ 20.48" and larger the bend back works and @ 20.47" and smaller the bend back fails.   I cannot find a reason why things are failing when they do. Please find the attached file in a .zip file.

PTC Creo has recommend using primarily NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards for years. My understanding is that this is due to OpenGL support and driver optimization. Is this still true in 2022? It seems that almost all graphics cards “certified” by PTC are still Quadro:https://prodart.pl/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/ptc_creo_hardware_notes.pdf For example, would it be better to buy a Quadro P4000 as opposed to a GeForce GTX 3070? The 3070 is significantly better on paper (and less expensive).https://technical.city/en/video/Quadro-P4000-vs-GeForce-RTX-3070

I have a question.I have a distance that is filled by a start rail, rail * number of rails and an end rail.Only sometimes the end rail is a very small size, so that the start rail has to be shortened so that the end rail becomes longer.The formulas for the rails are;Start rail= 2.5*pallet+100Rail= 3*palletNumber of rails= Floor((distance-start rail)/rail)End rail= distance – start rail- (rail*number of rails) Now I have a code :If end rail <= 1000Start rail= 1.5*pallet+100ElseStart rail=2.5*pallet+100endif If the end rail is longer than 1000mm, it is fine.Only when the end rail is shorter than 1000mm, the start rail is shortened making the end rail longer, but since it then becomes longer than 1000mm again, the model automatically adjusts the start rail again to 2.5*pallet+100, making the end rail is again less than 1000mm. This way the model automatically goes back and forth every time you regenerate. Is there a way to create conditions so that this doesn't go back a

Hi!I have an assembly with a flattened cable harness and I'm trying to use the code below to get the tessellated mesh for the flattened cables. The problem is that I'm only getting the 3D version.In the real application code we're also retrieving several parts (connectors, etc.), and those are in the correct, flattened positions when we open the _mfg file. This assembly came from a customer, and they gave us "12345_flat.asm.1", "12345_mfg.asm.1", "12345_rout.asm.1", as well as .prt and .asm files for the connectors. When I open the "12345_mfg.asm.1" in Creo, I see the flattened cable harness. My questions are:Is the "12345_mfg.asm.1" the correct assembly to get the flattened harness?Is there a way to choose between the flattened and 3D version of the cables using the API?Are there any other config.pro options I may need to get the flattened harness?And off on a slight tangent...  Inn another place in our application we're passing a ProSolid as the first parameter to ProA

hey All, is there anyway to add "new" local parameters and "new" relations to existing dwg bom repeat region with a mapkey? trying to create mapkey do accomplish this but it does not worktried loading a "new configuration" xml file with no luck either thanks,Rich
