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.

Hi ,I am working on Threaded Hole Feature , I used ProElementHoleThreadSeriesSet() & ProElementHoleScrewSizeSet() API to update hole type & Screw size and used ProFeatureWithoptionsRedefineFeature() after the same , But still not updating the feature Please help me to resolve the issue . Thanks & Regards,Kunal Bidkar

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,   Per the post, I tried modifying the variables as suggested but I don't see the Information Only errors displayed. Am I missing a step?   Thanks

Hello All, I have been trying to hide/show some components in an assembly dependng on an input value given by the user, does anybody know what is the code to hide/shown components in assemblies using pro/program? Thank you in advance,

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

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0Creo Drawing BOM Table Help. I would like to add a Column for "Supplied By" but this column I would like to leave as a manually entered Text field because It will be constantly changing from one project to another and I do not want it related back or driven from the parts and or assembly's parameters. I would like the Column to be prefilled out for all items in the Table with a Dash "-" in the BOM and then I can manually overwrite it as needed based on the project and it would only affect the drawing table for that current drawing.Or any other option to do this is much appreciated. there will only be a handful of items that will need the column overridden but would like Dashes "-" shown by default So I avoid having to type in every row and prefer not to leave a blank cell.Thanks

My creo got crash in every 5 mins.

need to know how to change output to diameter in X vs. radius. 

I am unable to open the user interface of cosmetic thread. Whenever I click on the cosmetic thread tab it takes me to some intudfs folder having two folders inside (External and Internal) containing .gph files. I'm not sure if it is some kind of bug or do I have to modify some parameter in config. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

Currently I run my code by clicking auxiliary application -> start, and after running I have to click stop.Although this does not affect the functionality of my code even if I do not click stop, is there a way to stop the aux app somehow in the stop method? Just to save a click public static void start () { do_something(); } public static void stop () { }

Let's say I have a rather complex, curved geometry. I need to highlight an area of this geometry in the drawing, to indicate something like a specific tolerance, or an area that should be painted, or something else. What's the best practice here? Since the area is curved, I can't simply make a sketch on it.   The best way I've found so far is to make a plane parallel to the view orientation in which I want to show the area, then project the curves in question on this plane. This will look right in the drawing, but will give a floating sketch in the model, which looks kinda weird.   Another way would be to use "Designated Area", give it a different color (since you can't use Appearance States on drawings for some weird reason), and then show that surface on a specific view. Downside is that this requires using a shaded view, which is not ideal for tolerancing views, for example.   I'd like to be able to designate the area, then change the edge display style of those edges
