Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi guys, when I want to Export a STEP file of ONLY what is shown on my screen, I always get some assemblies that show up that should not. Like the layers get messed up. See pics below. How can I fix this so ONLY what is currently shown on my screen is exported out to STEP? Thanks for the help. Jay          

See the screenshot above, the datums and annotations always show up when I open a CREO session. Is there a simple setup to avoid this? Thanks.

I have a problem to visualization some surfaces.When opening an assy or only the part some faces are not  showed correctly.The problem is not in all parts and assy that I have. In other files with similar assy them are showed ok. faces like trasnparency. see faces selected with problem    If I make a section view, I see the solid not surfaces.  Well, I hope any help.Regards.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0What version of IDX does Creo Parametric 8.0 support?Where could i have found Creo version-specific answers myself?Does PTC maintain an ECAD-MCAD product development roadmap?

Hi, I'm desperate,I'm trying to reorder feature in tree after last feature.Both features are completely independent. My code:Feature sketch = ...Feature last = ...ReorderAfterOperation op = sketch.CreateReorderAfterOp(last);FeatureOperations ops = FeatureOperations.create();ops.append(op);model.ExecuteFeatureOps(ops, null); --> throws XToolkitBadContext exceptionAny ideas ?Thanks.

In the above screenshot, there is a Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) and an Adapter installed at the end of tube (pointing downward). When I applied two Weight links (as shown in the 1sigma stress plot at the right side), the max stress is 100+ times higher than the one shown in the plot at the left side, in which only one weight link is applied. What is the problem to two links? Do I have to combine the two masses into one mass point in order to simulate both mass contribution from Adapter and PRV?  Thanks.Also, is there a good reading about "weighted link" (and "rigid link")?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.1.0No option to add automatic note for (Standard) Cosmetic Thread.The wizard is very similar to the definition of holes(including ISO, UNF, UNC standards), while in holes a note is created automaticaly, for threads it is not created.What is the point of setting the standard if no automatic note is created? To write a manual note in the drawing, I do not need this feature.

Hello,in Creo 2 M250 I was using ModelCHECK Interactive with real satisfaction. Now after switching to Creo 8.0.0.0 or 8.0.0.2, ModelCHECK Interactive has become at least 15 times slower.I did the test on a very simple prt and using the same settings.While bypassing my personal configuration and using the default ModelCHECK configuration, the operation is still very slow ...Can someone help me?Thank you.

How to automatically create gap between witness line and part line as shown in the below picture.  

I have this problem: a cad model, a panel developed in sheet metal, with an opening in the center (a rectangular cut) with A and B dimensions. The model is parametric and is updated with a whole series of relations inserted. Obviously, this model is linked to a DRW for the creation of the DXF file for processing on the machines.It is possible and how, from a listing from excel file or notepad file with the various dimensions of A and B, to launch a mapkey or a bach file that automatically makes the DXFs of the various panels "n" times as many as there are variants in the listing? 

In solidworks dimension are aligned correctly but @creo making some miss alignmentbelow attached screen shot from solid works  this is creo  

What is the reference dimension I am missing for a counter sunk hole?  From the picture it looks like the surface, but I tried that.

Blended/Stippled Transparency options not available in Creo 7.0.7.0 even tough they are present in previous Creo 6.x and in the Creo 7 documentation too.The article in PTC support portal is not reachable.

Hello! Is anybody know where to find the switch to set up surface color of shell elements shown in the above screenshot? I have searched the "Help" provided by PTC, but couldn't find an answer. This is Simulate 6. I have been running random vibe simulations.  Thanks. _JS 

I have some legacy models that have a question mark in a black diamond by the part and drawing name. I can open the model but not the drawing. What does this tell me?

I am creating Asynchronous  toolkit but i am getting this popup and after it my application stop working how i handle this     

Hi! I'm finding some problems using flexibility. Here is what I'm doing   - In the main assembly (PIC1 (1)) I use some parameters to define different variants  - This parameters go downstream by the relations (see PIC2) until subassemblies 3 to 10 in PIC1  - Then, in PRO/PROGRAM, I use IF statements to add or suppress componentsThis work all fine, but now I'm trying to improve it making it flexible. So I apply Var Items to The parameters I'm using in the relations. Now comes the issue, just 4, 7 and 10 subassemblies are driven by flexibility while 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 not. The relations are equally applied and the programming is equal. Do you know which could be the reason of not be driven, or what conditions are neccessary to have them driven?Thanks!

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 8.0 (connected) Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.2.0is there a way to add a view in material removal simulation? i would like to be able to see the front and back of the part at the same time like vericut.

Hello,I am planning to use "Generative Design" tool in Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.3.0; I don't have access to it yet.Does "Generative Design" tool in Creo 7.0.3 have the following capabilities while optimizing a design space?:1. Inertia Relief Analysis (without any specified displacement restraints)2. Modal Analysis3. Thermal AnalysisIf these capabilities are available in a different version of Creo, or, being planned for development, please provide some details.Thank you!

Hello Community, in Creo View, when I load another assembly (for example another file PVZ-2) into an open PVZ-1 using "Add Viewable to Session": Is it then possible to save PVZ-1 such that the loaded viewable PVZ-2 remains contained in PVZ-1, and reappears the next time I open the file PVZ-1?

Tolerances.  How do you choose their values for things that are not critical?  Do you treat the tolerances as a 'target to shoot for' or 'hard limits' that if exceeded by any amount constitute a rejected part?   ASME Y14.5 2018 defines a tolerance this way:   So how do you determine the actual limits of a feature, and how do you communicate your 'preferred size range' for a feature if different than the limits actually applied?   Take the top of this headed punch for example:   The .020 fillet has a title block tolerance of +/- .005 which means anything between .015 and .025 is 'in spec.'  Does that mean we should scrap or reject something that comes in at .012 or .027?  I can't imagine we would since this is not a critical feature.  Even with the .625 dimension (which is much more important), if one of them arrived from a vendor at .6229 or .6251, I don't think we would reject it, even though by definition it is out of spec.   How do

Hi.  Creo 7 here. I'm trying to find a way to modify import recipe or whatever else could be driving this in order to have Creo import assemblies which contain assembly level appearance modifications with those modifications. Here's the issue breakdown:I have assemblies which mostly contain frames designed in Inventor/Solidworks. I export them to STEPs and import into Creo (cause I need to output PVZ files in the end). Parts which have appearance overrides are being imported with those overrides but any override at assembly level (no matter the depth) is not being imported. Now, I tried both 214 and 242 export protocols, I tried every option available in import settings and nothing gives me the result. I know those appearances are present in exports cause I can import them again into other software and they're there. Fun fact is, that the first time I did all of this Creo imported everything as intended...I think I may have altered something in Creo and no

Hi there,my issue today is, i would like to import files (mostly sheet metal designs) from GeoMagic from step format.I already know how to transfer the step file so it becomes a sheetmetal with the whole rool up and bend stuff. Only thing i cant seem to get to work is how to modify cutouts. Is there any way to manage to modify drillings and punchouts and all of that? 

WF4, M220I'm having situations where, in certain drawings only, all text on the drawing will disappear.  The common denominator seems to be creating the drawing from a drawing template, although the issue does not affect all drawings created from that template.  I have an assy template and a part template, and some, not all, drawings created from them have the issue.  In some cases, a brand new drawing from the template will have text only for an instant, it disappears almost immediately.This is text in notes, tables and repeat regions alike.  In the tables, all the cells are there and the number of (blank) lines in a repeat region table will be right, but the table is blank.  I can double click in a table cell and the text will return, but only temporarily.  Updating the drawing views makes the text disappear again.  For notes, the text is simply gone, no way to get it to return, even for notes that contain only a parameter value.  Switch dim sy
