Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for any help!   I am using Creo 4.0 and would like to generate my BOM table and balloons off of a flattened harness assembly. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to add terminals, wire seals, cavity plugs, etc., to the flattened harness to pull them into the BOM. Right now it only pulls in the connectors, clips, back shells, etc., which are designated as connectors or attached to the flat harness using the "attach" feature. I realize that I could create 3D models for all of these internal components and assemble them to the connector.....and then route my wires to (or through) them. But some of my connectors have high pin counts so the thought of doing that makes my head spin.  🙂Has anyone run into this same issue and found a way to get those internal components to attach to the flattened harness assembly? Let me know if further information is needed in order to assist me.   Thank you!!

As per this thread, similar issue:   Hi,Have somebody an example how to export drawing to DXF? Trying to adapt first example (ExportDXF3D) but have issues with RetriveModelWithOpts method . Is there some ideas how to export drawing to dxf ?

Hi All, I have used basic asynchronous jlink (Creo 7.0.2.0) code in my rest service application(Maven Build) as shown below - @GET@PatH("/getModelInfo")public String getModelInfo() {try {System.loadLibrary("pfcasyncmt");System.out.println("check 1");AsyncConnection connection = pfcAsyncConnection.AsyncConnection_Start("<proe command> -g:no_graphics -i:rpc_input", null);System.out.println("check 2");Session session = connection.GetSession();/* J-Link processing calls here *///null third argument designates model is not an instance.System.out.println("check 3");ModelDescriptor desc = pfcModel.ModelDescriptor_CreateFromFileName(<part_file_path>);System.out.println("check 4");Model model = session.RetrieveModel(desc);System.out.println(model.GetFullName());//createItemInFusion(model.GetFullName());// end the Pro/ENGINEER process when doneconnection.End();System.out.println("check 5");return model.GetFullName();} catch (jxthrowable e) {e.printStackTrace();return null;}

I am trying to use the measure tool on CREO to measure distance between two points. And for CREO 7.0 to measure the distance between two entities, "Ctrl + left click" is needed to measure the distance. However, currently my software has some bug that I cannot use the Ctrl + left click. (I'm using CREO on my virtual box and Ctrl+left key on virtual box will not give the correct response) Therefore, I will like to ask if I can map the Ctrl key to another key(any number or alphabet) on CREO 7.0. I have been trying to look for key map for the ctrl key but have no success so far. Will appreciate for any feedback or suggestion, thanks in advance!

Hi all,I can not make BOM (list of electrical component) in Wiring diagram in Creo Schematics. I need on sheet list of all component and their sum (like a mechanical BOM). Is it possible in Creo Schematics create BOM report? If yes, can you tell me how?ThanksLudek

I have a large machine assembly with lots of objects, facets and edges resulting in a huge .drw file size. (DRW is 150MB)This won't print or export to PDF as the spooler takes too long. (I've let it run for 2hrs in one case.)Besides excluding everything that has many edges in a simplified rep (I've done about 50% and the file size barely reduced), is there a way to force a printing/export simplification?

Creo 4.0- Windchill 11.0 We have some spools that were defined with an .xml file. The author of those files is no longer with us. Is there any way to extract that .xml file to be able to modify it, or at the very least know where the file came from in order to attempt to retrieve it?Was not able to see any obvious references in Creo or Windchill to any schematics data either.

Dear teacher:I use JLINK development to activate the part in the component to select the surface, but only the activated component can be selected, and the surface features outside the activated component cannot be selected. Which teacher knows to help me, thank you. SelectionOptions opts = pfcSelect.SelectionOptions_Create("sldedge,surface"); opts.SetMaxNumSels(new Integer(1)); Selections sels = session.Select(opts, null); 

Hi,I've created a custom screw in IFX and all works great except I get 1 error when placing the screw. When I select the hole, head and nut reference and click OK to place screw, I get an error saying......  What does this mean?

Hi,I have an assembly with some subassemblies. And each subassembly consists of some parts. All the parts in the assembly are inside the subassemblies so there are no parts on the top level of the assembly, only subassemblies. All the subassemblies have a parameter assigned in them, "param_name". I have a drawing of the top level assembly and would like to add a BOM table which shows only the parts and not subassemblies. And also I'd like to show the value of the "param_name" parameter of the subassembly where the part in question belongs to. So in order to show only the parts in the BOM, I made the BOM table recursive and added a GATHERING_PART = YES parameter to each of the subassemblies. I then used the GATHERING_PART parameter to filter out the subassemblies from the BOM. So now I have only the lower level parts showing up in the BOM.But I can't seem to figure out how I can read a parameter from a subassembly one level up in relation to the parts. Is there any way to

When saving a cabling assembly to Creo View, the network is saved with it, leading to a lot of green lines that sorta look like wires, confusing production. You can turn it off in Creo View by unchecking the "curves" filter, but our filters are set by default, so for those who don't know that, it's still annoying and confusing.   Has anyone had any luck in preventing the network from being exported to Creo View? Hiding it has no effect (as is usually the case with Creo View).

I'm trying to use the simulation function in the applications tab but I get the above message.

HI all, For evaluation purposes, I want to install CREO 8.0.However my company uses CREO 7.0.2.0, java 8_301 as well as WINDCHILL 11.1I figured out that for CREO 8 I need Java 11. Can I install Java 11, run my tests on CREO8, and continue to work alongside CREO 7.0.2.0 to troubleshoot my users? Regards

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM110I would like to include "@" symbol in a custom symbol but when i add the character it does not remain after redefining the symbol. Does this character require special handling?

is it possible to disable Windchill integration on Creo Simulate.I would like to use it outside of windchill

 In an assembly drawing, I used a sketched ellipse to highlight a region of assembly. In PDF file, however, there showed up two ellipses. The PDF was/is not acceptable. However, no one knew/know how to get rid of the extra ellipse.  Weeks have passed before I finally figured out just now that CREO allows a sketch ellipse to be invisible in CREO drawing environment however become visible in PDF. The extra ellipse was indeed a sketch with invisible feature.  Just now I accidently picked up the invisible feature and moved it outside the drawing border, and played with it. and all of a sudden, it couldn't take my teases any more and showed up. What a fun! But what is the point that CREO allows an invisible Ellipse to be created in a drawing? I cannot see any benefit of it except for the frustrations and time-wasting debugging at end user side to try to figure out why some extra features showed up in PDF yet are not there in CREO drawing environment. Any i

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode 8.0.1.0Good afternoon,I would like to ask you if it is possible to save the position and size of the pop-up windows in Creo 8, so that when you close and restart the program, they appear in the same position.Thank you very much,Víctor

As per this thread - same issue   Hello Tmetcalf, i'm started Pro-programming in Creo, in that i added all values and even i edited program (made it for single dimension) but i'm facing the issue that once i enter the value it should execute the program and modify the model accordingly but it not happening, once i enter value and press ok button again that pop up will come, if i press two times middle bottom it will come out but model will be regenerating to 1st entered value. how to solve this issue, i need once i enter the value it should not ask again and again.   thanks

Hello, I would like to know how can I create a dimension driven (annotation) on a diameter whose annotation plane is parallel and passing through the axis of revolution? This is what i can currently do with creo 7: I can show dimension from revolution sketch [see dim 1 in the print screen1] : orientation is ok => I want to reproduce the same result with a dimension driven via annotation menu  If i create annotation dimension on the front annotation plane by selecting face of the cylinder, creo desn't want to proceed. I can only select edges of the cylinder but creo see that dim like a linear dim (not diameter). So orientation is ok [see dim 2 in the print screen1].if I add a flat on the cylinder, the driven dim disappears and it is impossible to show it or re-create this dimension because of the flat. [see print screen2]  => that's why i don't want to use this way.If i really want to create a dimension by selecting the face (not edges)

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0A user has a sheetmetal part (80002680) that has been mirrored (80002681). When trying to create a flat pattern for the mirrored part, it was discovered that the mirrored part is not sheetmetal part and therefore cannot be unbent. When editing the definition mirrored merge in an attempt to correct the issue, the system exits prematurely. See the attached models, trial file, and log.Here are the errors that I facedSee Traceback Log

Hello PTC Community members,    Currently I am struggling with Creo Parametric during working on Sheetmetal part. Once I want to create second sketched form on the same surface, next to each other, Creo suddenly crashes and I cannot open my 3D model anymore.   Did this happen to anyone? Is this some bug, or?   Thanks

Why does creo 6 zoom away to a random spot after placing a component in an assembly? Is there a setting to change this? every single time I have to go back and zoom to the place where I am working.

Hey all,I'm making a new post here for Creo 7.0.4.0 wondering if this has changed.Has anyone had trouble in newer versions of Creo removing family table links especially in drawings? I'm attempting the method "temporary family table to replace a drawing model" and the drawing will not release the tie to the family table. https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Replacing-Model-in-Drawing/td-p/421341 ProcedureOpen drawingOpen PRTAdd Fam Tab INST1Drawing replace modelDelete entire Fam TabConfirm drawing model is 1INST and not 1INST<1GEN>Save and eraseOpen drawing and get the error Error when retrieving drawing: Another model with the same name already exists.'1INST<1GEN>' cannot be retrieved.Model 1INST<1GEN>.PRT could not be retrieved.'C:\_\1GEN.drw.5' cannot be retrieved.'1GEN' cannot be retrieved.
