Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello Modelcheck experts I would like to use the "Workspace state" of objects as trigger/check in the conditions file.Anyone knows if this is usable and knows the internal attribute name to write in the conditions file?Screenshot only in german available. Thank you for the helpRegards,Marc  Background info - our prefered mode is interactiveWe try to not use the regenerate mode due to model state in session gets changed and people are then more confused with the WC state column in Creo 6 -Thats the reason why we are looking to read out the state "checked out".In one check round we use the "PTC_MODIFIED" EQ YES to start the checks, but if the Objects is only checked out and has not changed it is still not modified.

I sometimes create parts that are supposed to simulate the actual part but cost a fraction to produce. Ie the machined part should have the correct mass, center of gravity and ideally same, or similar responses as the purchased component. It will then be used for harsh mechanical testing, instead of potentially destroying an expensive component.This is a tedious trial and error process but is there a way of having Creo doing at least some of the work for me? Such as if I design a representative shape and I know that it should have a specific mass, I would extrude a hole (or several holes) to match the correct mass. Can I make Creo vary for example the depth of such a hole until the correct mass is met?Next will be to have Creo change the position of such a hole to meet the correct center of gravity.

Hi,I would be really glad if someone could tell me how I can set up the system to output pvz files without background/reference geometry.There's plenty of files which reference other parts and I wish to complete a design and output it to pvz file in order to create instructions in Creo Illustrate. However, when I export files I end up with some overlapping geometry and reference files (here without names assigned).Kind regards,Tom

Dear sir, How can merge the curve parting line in the 3D Part if I am opening the  (Parasolid & STP) file? which is a zigzag type parting line so then how can split the part in the Creo parametric software.

Hi sir, I am facing the issue of how can I straight the 3D pipe in Creo parametric. but when I saw the youtube channel it is possible in SolidWorks.

To all, I was wondering if there is a setting, or where the option might be, to turn off certain selections when you go to modify a part that is not checked out, so the user cannot select either of these two.Revise and Check out nowRevise and check Out Entire FamilyWe do not want anyone to be able to revise a part/assembly unless thru the change managment process, which is WindChill in our case. Attached is a screenshot of what I am referring to. If this is not in the correct location for someone to answer, if it can be shared to who would be able to best respond, feel free to do this. Thank you,Dennis J RehmerABB

I'm creating some custom .hol files to inserts like keenserts and helicoils. For the most part, I've got it working, thanks to the youtube channel Creo Parametric, but am running into a few problems I can't seem to find the answer to. Can you have multiple thread series in a single .hol file? Reason being, depending on the dash of the insert, it could call for a UNC or UNF.My countersinks don't seem to automatically populate when creating the hole. It seems like I have to manually click it and when I do, it doesn't enter in my diameter I put into the .hol file. Anyone have a work around to this?

Hi,I want to pattern a group for use in assemblies in a family table.I only want the main group in the Generic and not the pattern members.How do I set this up in the family table?

Well-known community member, Stephen, tells us he has two interests: Creo - and saltwater fishing with his wife in the bays along the Texas coast for red drum, black drum, flounder, and sea trout. Below, a good day with a 30-pound black drum he released.Stephen is Texas born and raised, spending most childhood summers on his grandfather’s hard-working farm.  He’s been involved in Pro/Engineer-Creo community since the mid to late 90’s, well before PTC had an integrated community. He says:  “I enjoy helping other users learn how to use Creo but mostly I like learning things about the software I didn’t know. There is likely not a week that goes by that I don’t learn something on the Community that I can put to use.  I absolutely know that without the community, I wouldn’t be as good of a Creo user.”  We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! Right now, Stephen makes parts/assemblies and drawings although he said that he used to do a lot with Creo’s routed sy

Hi, I am trying to measure the distance between two surfaces using ProGeomitemDistanceEval method which gives output distance as 0 always. lErr = ProSelect("surface,point,axis", 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &lpSelectionEdge, &lSelCount);lErr = ProSelect("surface,point,axis", 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &lpSelectionSurface, &lSelCount);lErrCode=ProGeomitemDistanceEval(*lpSelectionEdge, *lpSelectionSurface, &distance); Can you help what's the wrong in this code? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I am hoping someone can help me here. I am fairly new to Creo (Come from using Solidworks), and I am using Creo 6 to handle large assemblies, but I notice that when I try to hide single components that are part of a sub-assembly any additional copies of that component in any other sub-assemblies are being hidden at the same time. Is there a way to turn this functionality off? Is this a bug or a "feature"?

Hi Everyone I was curious as to how people are handling configurable assemblies and standard cables? We sell rack based test equipment (ATE) and have a lot of configurable components inside the rack and we use a lot of standard cables. So what ends up happening is we reuse the same cable to go from component 1 to component 2 as well as from component X to component Y Curious as to how others are handling this situation in terms of actual CAD workflow/design as well as BOM management. We use Creo 8 and Windchill (but not as a PLM, and no WTParts) What I have been doing is creating a cable assembly with a skeleton of the system rack, the connectors are constrained to coordinate systems that are offset from the default csys and have also intermediate locations in the cable driven that are using cable assembly coordinate systems, and then assemble in the cable to default constraint, and using flexibility to move the connectors and cable around within the system. So

Hello    I am new here so i hope i will describe my problem good enough.   I made UDF with 2 main parts and the rest of the parts are two washers bolt and a nut. When i replace one of my main parts for unrelated compotent and go into Edit Ref Table program only ask for references that are needed for placing the part. So when i replace it my washers have faild references. I know i can and extra references in EDIT REF TABLE but this udf will be used a lot and its annoying that you have to do all those extra steps especialy since UDFs i made like this in creo 4 is still asking for all the references it needs for placing washers.   Hope i didnt complicated it too much and i posted in right section thanks for help.   regards

Hello!I want to import a press-fit pin tip with variable thickness (stp file). It can be imported only as a sheel, and if I want to generate a stp file afterwards, it won't show the pin tip anymore.It is a way to solve this problem?   

I am working on a difficult assignment. If I adjust the length with parameters, the number of parts should also be adjusted automatically. Im using it in an assemby enviroment.Couple:If I have a length of 10 meters, there should be 4 rails. If the length is 5 meters, there should be only 2 rails. If the length is 15 meters, there should be 6 rails.I would like to use a pattern and control the numbers of the rails with parameters so that I can use the if and else relations.Does anyone have an idea how I can do this smartly? I'm using Creo 7 parametric.Thank you in advance!

Hello All,I hope this post find you healthy and happy in this new year; well relatively new year.I have a situation where I use specific layers for surfaces and curves. Sometimes the drawings loose the layer state and they become unhidden making the drawing look like a wreck. I just experimented with the config option blank_layer a bit. I saved out the layer status file to my desktop, added a layer ID to a layer, read it back into a test file and then added the config option to try and blank a layer by the layer ID on opening a file. It does not work for me. We use Creo 3.0 build M150. Any thoughts on a way to force certain layers to always blank initially? I have a sneaking suspicion that Creo un-blanks my layers when a change is made with intent. Also we have varied layer practices from the many years and people who have worked here. Is it possible to delete all the layers and use default_layer_model to pull in new layers with rules? Any method that works would be appreciated.&n

For anyone who has obtained (or wants to obtain) a FREE License of Nitro-BOM... we pushed out a new release last night (v 8.5).   Nitro-BOM v8.5  has improved the Parameter Create / Modify / Delete Cycle for Creo Parametric Parts and Assemblies -from- Excel  - especially on larger assemblies.  😎    Nitro-BOM requires JLINK to be installed with your Creo Environment (most customers install this by default).  Here are some instructions for how to do this (this can change based on Creo Versions - but basically the same process).   To get a FREE License (no registration required) -- just click on this when prompted!     Have Fun!   Dave

I have a U profile that I control with parameters. There are 2 holes in this profile, if the length is 1000mm. If the profile is bigger than 1000mm, then I want to have 4 or more holes in the profile. Can this be set parametrically with Creo 7? How do I do this ? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Creo Parametric's mouse button control feels ancient, like it was designed before mouse's had a right mouse button.  You can rotate by pressing the scroll wheel button, zoom with the scroll wheel.  What's missing is Pan with the right mouse button, instead of requiring pressing shift.  If PTC ever wants to migrate all the Creo Elements Direct Modeling users to Parametric, PTC needs to enable Pan with the right mouse button.
