Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi there, Wondering if anyone can help with this UI problem. I recently switched to using a trackball mouse, and I have noticed that (particularly) while working on drawings, the mouse cursor being constrained to the edge of my screen is very limiting. One benefit of the trackball is being able to scroll infinitely in any direction with much less effort than a traditional mouse, however since my cursor can't move past the edge of my display (as happens in programs like Autodesk) my panning ability is very limited. I would like to be able to pan beyond the bounds of my display, as I like to work fairly zoomed-in while reviewing drawings. Does anyone know of any way to enable the mouse to move beyond the screen while panning? I have looked across forums and Google, also delved into the config options with several keywords but to no avail. Thanks!

We have a user who is trying to use our Simulate (MECELITEENG_License, MECELETEUI_License) license, but is being told that functionality is unlicensed. Currently, the core Creo licenses we have are   PROE_DesignEss PROE_EssentialsI PROE_EssentialsIIM   I'm suspecting the Simulate license will only work with one of these core Creo licenses, and not the others. Thus, when this user pulls a license, if they get one of the other "flavors", they can't use Simulate. Is my suspicion correct? Is Simulate set up to only work with a specific type of PROE_XXXX license?

Does anyone know if the dim modify slider can be used outside of sketch mode? In some cases it would be beneficial to use a dynamic drag handle or slider when modifying features with an internal sketch. In this example the scaling dim is in the sketch and can not be dynamically changed unless in sketch mode as shown here. It would be nice to have this function at the feature level without entering sketch mode.        

I am using Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Release Wildfire 4.0 and DatecodeM130I have created a pattern on a skeleton using axis definition. The patterned references are separated 45° and used in many parts of the assembly. Now, I want to create additional patterned references between the original ones (at 22.5°) and keeping the original ones at the same place (separated 45°), otherwise I need to change the references of all the dependent parts. Is there anyway to do it?If I modify the pattern the patterned original instances move from 45° to 22.5° and I want to keep them at 45°.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.3.0Dimension line on drawing runs directly through datum feature symbol on published PDF file, this can also be seen when the dimension is selected and highlighted within the drawing. and on published PDF file. However when if you don't select and highlight the dimension the dimension line does not extend through the datum feature symbol.See attachments.Here are the errors that I facedn/a

Hi,I'm testing the new Creo version 9.0.0.0.I detect strange behavior on my very simple macros.Simple example: macro that starts the rename command (File >>> Manage file >>> Rename).In Creo 8.0.0.0 the "New file name" text field remains selected before being immediately modified or copied.Creo 9.0.0.0 this field is deselected.Weird thing is that if I manually perform the above steps the text field is correctly selected, while if I run the macro the text field is deselected ...I have developed thousands of macros but in no way can I solve the problem brilliantly.Can anyone help me?

I fixed the sketch and successfully made a wrap, i want to extrude this exact shape outwards. Is there a way to extrude this wrap?

Hello, We have an issue here when exporting the flat state of Sheetmetal parts. DXF will be created from the drawing.We have checked off the splines option in the export menu.In most cases the splines (end points) in the exported DXF file are not connected. Our supplier needs to connect the end points by themselves.When I change splines to polylines, the end points are connected but the geometry contains only straight lines, we don't want this as well.Changing the DXF version or using a different version of Creo is no success. Are there any settings we have to use to solve this issue? thanks in advance....S.

I have a D sized drawing format, it has sheet 1 and 2I want to1. add another sheet (sheet 3) How?2.the 3rd sheet I want it to have viewports or at least I can have 4 areas in the format to lay out up to 4 models onto one sheet (3)

Hi all, I am looking to simulate permanent magnets' interactions based on the magnets' dimensions, distance from one another, orientations, their field strength, and other respective parameters to calculate the force they exert on each other. Is this something that is possible in Creo? Has anybody attempted this in Creo before? I am open to other non-PTC suggestions for this, too. I know there is magnet simulation software in Python, so maybe I'll take a stab at that. Thank you in advance!

Any procedure (besides doing it manually, which doesnt maintain proper format) to create numbered list inside Creo notes in drawing environment? 

Hi everybody, I have a question about the Pick From List selection method, hopefully I am just missing something here. I am working in a drawing file, using Component Display to blank out a repeated feature, and reveal other information in the model (only on one particular drawing view). The feature is in a linear pattern, so components are all lined up behind one another on the 2D view, and sometimes there are up to 20 instances to hide. I use Pick From List to select each component individually, holding ctrl to select multiple instances at once; but this requires me to open the list, select one instance, and then 'OK' to close the list, before opening it right back up again, from the exact same spot in the model! This takes a ridiculous amount of clicks to complete, and is painfully slow. Is there any way I could be selecting these items quicker? Since the components are all stacked behind each other in the drawing view, they all show up in the same list when using Pic

How to save sketches created inside Creo drawing so that it can be used later for another drawing?

Hello!I want to buy a new laptop to work with CREO. I work with large assemblies (>1000 parts). There is a shortage of graphics cards on the market. My choices are:i5-11400H/16GB RAM/T600 4GB (lenovo P15v 2gen.) ori7-11850H/32GB RAM/RTX A2000 4GB (P15 2gen.).Which of the above configurations will be better? There is not much information about the A2000 card.I found a document that says the A2000 is CREO certified. Does anyone use RTX in their computer? 

When working with repeat regions for a harness connector pinout table, I have occasional duplicate lines for certain pins. The contact/plug/signal names all match each other, but the wire/color/size are blank for one line and not the other. I have tried a couple avenues to clear it with no luck:By rule, where the wire name is a blank, however the row still shows.By item, but when selecting the blank line I get the error code: "Cannot Exclude a Record with no Associated Data"For reference I am using Creo 5.

Hi All,I'm trying to get geometry parameters from sketch inside the Part (like this:) I'm doing this in following way: ProError GeomDataExporter::GetModelGeometry(const ProSolid& solid) { ProError status{}; ProGeomitem* itemsOut = nullptr; ProFeature* features = nullptr; status = GeomDataExporter::GetAllFeatures(solid, &features); int featuresSize{}; status = ProArraySizeGet(features, &featuresSize); for (int i = 0; i < featuresSize; i++) { ProCurvedata* items = nullptr; status = ProFeatureGeomitemVisit(&features[i], ProType::PRO_CURVE, GeomVisitAction, nullptr, items); int featuresSize{}; status = ProArraySizeGet((ProArray*)items, &featuresSize); if (status != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR) return status; } } ProError GeomDataExporter::GetAllFeatures(const ProSolid& solid, ProFeature** features) { if (features == nullptr) return PRO_TK_INVALID_PTR; ProError status{}; status = ProArrayAlloc(0, sizeof(ProFeature), 1, (ProArray*)features);

I have a strange problem that hole callout does not update if value of hole dimension change:C'bore depth is 20mm. And yet, hole callout says 8mm, which is wrong: While parameters are correct as value entered:Hole text in .hol file is:C'BORE-&PATTERN_NO{0:X}/FOR &FASTENER_ID/<CTRL-A>v<CTRL-B><CTRL-A>n<CTRL-B>&CBOREDIAM[.2]<CTRL-A>x<CTRL-B>&CBORE_DEPTH[.1] As in hole annotation:I also changed c'bore diameter value and it's value in hole callout did not change.I am using 5.0.6 version.Has anyone had a problem like this?

Can someone explain what the "-" does in the environment variable definition in .psf file (i.e. PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE-=<port>@<License Server Name>)

Hello,   I need to collect datum from view , So is there any API or Process to collect datum , Erase , show & display them in required view ?   Regards, Kunal Bidkar  

Hi, We are implementing the dimension placement function with TOOLKIT. We a using ProSelect and ProMousePickGet.ProSelect gives the user a visual indication of the situation in which they need to make a choice. (via window and mouse pointer change)ProMousePickGet returns a 3D PNT when clicking in the graphics area without any notification to the user.   I'd like to give the user a visual notification while ProMousePickGet is running, any ideas? Ideally, We want to give a visual effect around the mouse in the graphics area, such as placing dimensions.   thanks. Warm Regards, SeonHo Cha.
