I am using Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Release Wildfire 4.0 and DatecodeM130I want to use the same relation using measurements of the model many times. Instead of repeating the same relation for each used measurement, is it possible to create a function where each time it is needed on the Relations it could be called specifying the value needed to perform the calculation.For instance, in Python would be something like this:#Function definition:def sum(a, b):return a + b#When the function is needed would be called like this:sum(3, 4)Result --> 7

I'm having an issue with performing repeated patterns on a quilt.  Unfortunately I can't share much due to confidentiality so will have to do my best to describe. I'm starting with a 'base/origin' quilt on which I perform a number of patterned merges.  Usually I model another quilt which is to be merged, copy that quilt, pattern the copy, merge the first copy with the base quilt (ensuring the base quilt is selected first), select that merge feature and select pattern which would automatically detect the previous pattern and do a reference pattern of the merge. However on this particular model this works once but when I try and do it a second time, the pattern feature button is either greyed out or the pattern instances are overlaid in a single point (seems to vary when I've fiddled around to get around the problem). If I create a copy of the base/original quilt and merge with this instead, the second reference pattern works fine (as do subsequent patterns but a copy

Hello, In the below code, where Assembly is a IpfcAssembly assembled in parentAssembly, why would it return  "Object type mismatch" on the last line?  IpfcComponentFeat asmComp = (IpfcComponentFeat)parentAssembly .AssembleComponent((IpfcSolid)Assembly, null); IpfcComponentConstraint constraint = (new CCpfcComponentConstraint()) .Create((int)EpfcComponentConstraintType.EpfcASM_CONSTRAINT_DEF_PLACEMENT); IpfcComponentConstraints constraints = new CpfcComponentConstraints(); constraints.Insert(constraints.Count, constraint); asmComp.SetConstraints(constraints, null); <--- Error  Regards

Hello, I am trying to report line items within my BOM tables for harnesses and am having issues. I have been using creo schematics to generate logical data and then exporting an XML into Creo Parametric. Within Schematics, I am using a terminators table to specify contacts, wire seal, etc. This information associated with each port exports fine within the XML and I am able to call the contact wire seal data fine for a specific port using&asm.mbr.connprm.pin.signal.user_defined. I would like to include in my BOM the qty of each type of contact and wire seal that I would need in my harness. My understanding is that in order to do this, I would need to import a terminator table into Creo Parametric. I have checked and this requires a .TRM file and then you can use commandslike  &harn.term.name&harn.term.qty&harn.term.user_defined There isn't great documentation that I could find regarding these tables. I have tried just renaming the .csv terminator file

Is it possible to propagate an appearance, defined in a multibody part, down to a dependent part defined by one of the bodies?  For example lets say you have a surface and you want to shade it with two different colors in order to communicate two different textures to a mold maker.  If this is done in the multibody part can it be propagated down to the dependent parts?

As per this thread - same issue    Hi, I have installed student version of Creo. But it's not running, because of some license issues apprently. After going through the files, I can see I don't have any FLEXnet file. How to install it separately and connect it to creo.

I have been asked to look into finding someone who can come onsite to our facility and conduct a training class in Routed Systems Design. We are looking at doing the P&ID diagrams for plant layout in RSD and then applying piping to the P&ID. We currently do P&ID drawings in AutoCAD and want to replace that with a Creo related product. At this time, we are not looking at any automation tools or libraries, just the training for about 5 engineers to get them up to speed on how to create P&ID schematics and drawings with Creo.   If you want to contact me directly, please send an email to: looslib<at>centrusenergy.com We are using Creo 7 with Windchill 11.1 M020, with Creo 8/9 and Windchill 12.0.2.4 being planned for later this year.  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140ECAD part pin holes do not import with IDX baseline. Mounting holes work fine. Is this expected behavior? Please see attached Creo > File > Options > ECAD Assembly screenshot. Also, see attached 3D representations from ECAD tool (Xpedition Layout VX.2.10) and Creo Parametric. 

Hi all, This is my first post on this community forum, so I apologize in advance if I'm missing anything! I am working on an assembly where I have two parts that fit together with a small gap of 0.05mm. I am attempting to use the Mechanisms in Creo (which are apparently tedious to use in Creo compared to SW). I am using a 'Slider' constraint between two said components. I have attached a zip with part and assembly files. The problem I am having is that despite with a 0.05mm gap, it seems like Creo thinks the parts are touching when they are not. What I mean by this is in the image below, you would think the surface highlighted in green would be flush with the one next to it. However, when I drag the components together, this is as close together as they can go! I have no clue why this is happening. I assume it's probably some setting that I did not know to change. Any help would be appreciated! I have tried changing the diameters around, and I've found tha

Hi all, For the need of exporting a BIM model (using BIMDeX ifc exporter), I must set an export coordinate system located at a very long distance from the local coordinate system of the project. This export coordinate system is located round 2000 km in X and Y axis (don't ask me why !) and Creo 7 doesn't accept such length. The project is about 150 meters long with parts of some millimeters dimensions. Is there a solution to deal with such length into Creo 7? Thanks for any help.best regards.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) Release 3.0 and DatecodeM150I want to create new parameter into active part document by using protoolkit api.

If one uses option "prehighlight NO" in the config.pro file, the pre-select highlight is turned off completely, but with it the dotted line that follows the cursor is also turned off.Sometimes, to have that dotted line active and showing is very useful, reminding one (in the case of many small adjacent surfaces) where is the originating surface.Question: is there a way to keep the pre-select highlight OFF, but still have that dotted line active?Just to be clear, I am talking about the broken green line (that follows the mouse pointer) in the attached screen shot. 

Hello All, For those doing MBD and using 3D PDFs have you ran into problems using the 64 bit version of Adobe Reader DC?  We've found that PMI reference highlighting is not working when PDFs are opened with 64 bit Adobe Reader DC, the 32 bit version works fine.  To make the problem worse we are seeing that 32 bit installations are being automatically upgraded to 64 bit by Adobe. We've been working with our 3D PDF creation software vendor and have come to the conclusion that there is a major regression in Adobe functionality with the 64 bit version.  There are at least two open requests to Adobe to fix this, see links below.  I'm interested in knowing if others are having the same problem.  Also if you could vote for the Adobe issues maybe this will get fixed. https://acrobat.uservoice.com/forums/926812-acrobat-reader-for-windows-and-mac/suggestions/45017893-bug-pmi-cross-highlighting-not-working-for-3d-pdhttps://acrobat.uservoice.com/forums/92681

Hello again PTC-Community!   I am trying to make a template out of a sick, but it seems Creo doesn't want me to.   It just goes from this (which looks fine to me)   To this... Which does not seem to be right.   Anybody know a solution to this?

Hello All, I want to export my model in png file format. I din't find any toolkit api. I can record mapkeys & use it in toolkit application. But do we have any direct API available to export it into png file? Thanks & Regards,Harsh Patel

Hello,I renew the question in this closed topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Pentable-pdf-export/m-p/235673To assign DIFFERENT color to entities which belong to the same group, for ex. LETTER_COLOR which includes dimensions, notes, cross hatch, axes and many other things.I want to reach the COLOR printing as below: DIMENSIONS and NOTES: greenThen I use the following in the pentable:pen 2 thickness .015 cm; color 0.4392 0.6588 0.3607; letter_colorNow, if I want AXES (CTRLFONT L L and CTRLFONT S L) to print in blue, I must assign a blue color (for example) to all the axes manually, and then use the following:pen 8 thickness .018 cm; color 0.0 0.0 1.0; edge_highlite_colorFor the CROSS SECTIONS, to assign RED color manually and then:pen 4 thickness .018 cm;color 0.949 0.509 0.705; highlite_colorThis is, of course, very unconfortable.Is there any "automatic" way ?Maybe to LAYER RULES in drawing formats ?Thanks in advance.Diego

Hoping someone can help me out.  I have a steel C channel that I would like to use flexibility for length.  This will have a hole pattern about each interior datum plane and then within an assembly another assembly attached to the datum planes. I've tried to accomplish what I want by using relations, and a dimension pattern, or a combination thereof, but I'm not getting it, if it can even be done.  What I'd like to accomplish:(2) Datum planes at each end would never be <4.25 from outermost datum planeSubsequent datum planes (up to 4) would be >= 6.00 spaced intermittently>26.50 in .prt (30” in .asm) = (4) datum planes for flexible channel length<26.50 thru >20.50 = (3) datum planes for flexible channel length<20.50 thru >14.50 = (2) datum planes for flexible channel length.<14.50 = (1) datum plane for flexible channel lengthI think that explains everything, but if someone is able to help and has questions please let me know.  Thank you!&

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 5.0 (connected) Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0As of yesterday, the tolerances do not show in the ribbon. I can modify them directly but not in the ribbon. This is the case for all dimensions. I can choose plus / minus (including symmetric) and I no longer have the tolerance values in the ribbon. Everything was working fine before yesterday.

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

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.2.0Not able to remove a Repeat Region from a Table

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 ?
