Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hey guys,I'm trying to design a cylindrical part with 2 normal ribs on it. But first I like to have a curve on the outside of this cylindrical part.What I've done is: I've created 5 points on the cylindrical part. These points are used to lead the curve through and then I've created a curve.The problem is that this curve isn't staying on the outside surface of the cylinder...Does anybody know how to solve this?Next I want to create 2 ribs on the part. These ribs need to stay parallel with the centerline of the part.I like to do this with a sweep, but the problem is that I'm struggeling with the settings of this sweep.Anyone who knows how to solve this?

Hi, We're using Creo 3.0 M190 in our environment, which is deployed through SCCM. It gets installed fine. Detection method used is to check 2 properties (Release and Shipcode) in registry key SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PTC\PTC Creo Parametric\3.0\2018360.  Is this the right way to check existence of Creo 3.0 M190 in a computer or is there any better way? Thanks,

Hi,I've create a restricted parameters table of fastners and it's working nice as expected. The only issue I'm having is, that I want the restricted parameters table to follow the part without having the file read each time Creo is started. I know it works with a restricted parameters file (not restricted parameters table) when you save the part. With the restricted parameters table, when saved off, it keeps the parameter name with only the last selected option from the drop-down list.Is there a way to accomplish this?Thanks

Hi, What's the proper way to use the windows system token(variable) for user id in a mapkey?I would like to replace johndoe with windows %username% token. I have tried $USER and $USERNAME with no success.Could someone point me to the correct syntax for using a system variable in a mapkey?    mapkey(continued) ~ Select `file_saveas` `ph_list.Filelist` 1 `c:`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_saveas` `ph_list.Filelist` 1 `c:`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `file_saveas` `ph_list.Filelist` 1 `Users`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_saveas` `ph_list.Filelist` 1 `Users`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `file_saveas` `ph_list.Filelist` 1 `johndoe`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_saveas` `ph_list.Filelist` 1 `johndoe`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `file_saveas` `ph_list.Filelist` 1 `mydocs_pb`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_saveas` `ph_list.Filelist` 1 `mydocs_pb`;\   Thanks for any help you can provide, Don A

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?
