Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 2.0 and DatecodeM230Buenas tardes,hemos detectado en la versión de Creo Parametric 2 que ha dejado de funcionar correctamente la función Bifurcar>Perpendicular. Bifurca pero no realiza un ángulo de 90º con respecto al plano al que bifurcamos. Deja la bifurcación inclinada.Conocíamos que en Creo Parametric 7 esta función crea la bifurcación perpendicular pero sin crear un ángulo de 90ª, es decir, inclinada.¿por qué nos ocurre ahora lo mismo en Creo Parametric 2?

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 8.0 (connected) Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.2.0Hello,I'm looking for a manner to start Creo with and without windchill.If I put a copy of my templates and start parts (that normally are on Windchill) also in my PC, I heard that I can start creo with a batch file for a Windchill or a stand alone utilize.Can I have major informations about this? Have you an already did "general batch file" to share with the client?Thanks

Hello,   I am programming large components using the Prismatic & Multi-Surface Milling and Complete Machining options. I am very close to the z limit of the machine. Retracts are a problem. I have a few questions if I may: 1. I am programming a 3 axis conventional milling sequence. Is it possible to use a retract plane that is not       perpendicular to the tool centerline? 2. I have tried setting up a cylindrical retract plane. Is this allowed with conventional milling?I have read the help on this topic. I can define a cylindrical retract surface in the operation but not in the sequence. 3. If the retract direction has to be aligned with the tool centerline is there a way to limit the retract distance by defining a distance from the machined surface (following shape contours) at all locations - let's say one inch? Thank you,Barry Parker

Dear community,I want to know if it is possible to export stochastic lattices in 3MF format?On the CREO support it is indicated that it is possible to export in 3MF lattices with a simplified representation and a circular cross sections (which is the case for stochastic lattices), but it is impossible for me to export them in this format...Thanks in advance for your answer

Previous to Creo4 Release Cycle: Actual Build support: Creo2=26 blds Creo3=20 blds Standard VS Enterprise Release Cycles (Creo4-Creo7)  Standard Releases: Creo5 and Creo6 Full Support=1 yr (fast build releases) Extended Support=1yr (slow build releases) Total Support=2 yrs Actual Build Support: Creo5=7 blds Creo6=7 blds Enterprise Releases: Creo4 & Creo7 Full Support=3 yr (fast build releases) Extended Support=1yr (slow build releases) Total Support=4 yrs Actual Build Support Creo4=16 blds Creo7=TBD (est.~15?)

The implication here seem to be fewer builds per 'Enterprise' release of Creo.  Those of us with lots of users to support at our companies know the challenges of upgrading & the testing that goes with it.   Do you

Hi everyone I have an assembly from a supplier with a lot parts in it. I know the overall weight of the assembly. I don´t want to waste time with assigning materials to all these parts, so is it possible to override the weight calculation with a user defined weight? Best regards Claus

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M090Need help with PTC Learning Connector. PTC Learning Connector is Unavailable. I'm told we've been able to use this in the past, and none of us can open it now.Here are the errors that I faced LearningConnector is unavailable

Edit:   We managed to reduce our problem to the simplest case and have attached an example of it below.  I removed the original less-informed message and replaced it with a better-informed explanation, which is why the first reply now sounds completely unrelated. I'm mentoring a FIRST Robotics team, and we think we've found a bug, but we're not 100% certain.  We spent a lot of time designing a robot (which works great), but when we try to place our robot as a sub-assembly inside another assembly which contains the playing field, the robot stops working properly when we use the grab tool. (Sometimes the parts come off the robot, sometimes mechanisms freeze.) We reduced the problem to a simple two-body test case, attached below. Here's how to recreate the issue: First, place a part called BLUE in an assembly with a default constraint.Create a second assembly, and place the first assembly in it via a csys-to-csys constraint.Create a third assembly,

I read PTC changed their release cycle again (New release support schedule starting with Creo 8.0) which summarized means that 8.0.0.0 onward are essentially Enterprise releases and that Creo 8 is almost a year through its 2 year Standard support (quarterly build releases).  I posted some more details on this and thoughts on when to upgrade here: Reflecting on PTC's change of Support and thoughts on when to upgrade?   For this post, however, I am curious, if anyone has actually upgraded their company to Creo8 and if so how it went? (or if still testing how it is going) Was there a particularly enticing reason that you upgraded? If so what? About how many users do you have? What version of Creo were you on? How did it go?  How stable is it? Do you use mapkeys extensively, and if so how did they translate?

TL/DR: If you make a family table of dimensions varied from an inheritance feature, the column headings are funky - how to rename?   Follow me a bit ... Thought I had a brilliant idea.  We have two parts that are kind of similar.  Both of them have family tables.  Not similar enough that I want to throw everything into a single .prt with one big family table. But 90% of what's there is common.  So why not use inheritance to share the common geometries??   So I picked part "A" as the master part.  "A" has a family table.  Created a new "B" part by inheriting "A".  Added Varied items to the inheritance feature so I could suppress "A"'s features not needed in "B" and have some "B" dimensions different from "A".  So far, so good.   "B"'s new dimensions also need to be tabulated, so I added the dimensions to "B"'s family table.   Family table column headings make no sense.  In the inheritance feature's varied items, the dimens

I have a question about the size of the drawing.  In a drawing, I add an assembly with 2 views. Their view display is "No Hidden". In Windchill the drawing size is 140MB and the pdf generated in 2 hours by the worker size is 227MB.  If I turn the view display to "shadow", the size of both drops a lot... 27 Mo for the drw, the pdf is generated in 15 minutes and size 4 Mo.  I would like to understand why and how view display works and how is it possible.Are there options to lighten a hidden line view?Best RegardsDominique 

Hi, Some customers would like to see the status of Creo licenses. We explain that you can see the quantity in use and the total quantity through ptcstatus.bat.Administrators are burdened with installing creo to use ptcstatus.bat.We try to show you a visible licensing situation using C/C++, C#, etc.We would appreciate your feedback on how it can be implemented.   Thanks, Warm Regards. SeonHo Cha. P.S.lmstat -a 7788@myServer -c -i over socket communication is difficult to analyze.

Hi.  We have some parts that are in folders with unicode in them.  Creo has no problem opening files that are in unicode folders when we open them directly, but for some reason it is not correctly finding the parts in unicode folders via search_path="<path>" entries in our search.pro file.  (All our other parts are being found just fine.) The unicode is stored in the search.pro file as UTF-8.  Do we need to use a different encoding or perhaps set a parameter in our configuration for this to work correctly? Thanks.

 Everything is normal for my created Simp Reps, the Refit is fine and gives standard size of view. However, for the Default Rep and Master Rep (in which all parts are included), Refit pushes models far far away, just like in the attached screenshot. Is there anyway to fix this issue? Thanks for your help. 

Whenever I export a family table instance out of Creo, it only export the generic.  Is there a way to export just the instance without either saving the instance as a different part number and export that number or using Power Shell?   Running Creo 2.0 & Windchill 10.0

Hello Everyone, I'm having trouble getting text to follow a part when I do an exploded view. Few various manufacturing reasons we don't want the text to be added at the part level, it needs to be added on the assembly level. I've tried two ways. Sketch>project and Sketch>copy paste surface>Wrap. Wrap because the text is on a cylinder. When I explode the assembly, the text is left floating in space and edit position will not allow me to move the text.Anyone know how to make this work? Thanks

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this? Typically I can change the constraints of a component in a pattern by clicking on the Edit Definition of the 1st instance.  I have one assembly where if I click on the Edit Definition of such a component, nothing happens.  If I delete the pattern, the Edit Definition works fine.  The only explanation I could find online was to check the read only under operations, but there is none. Weird, right?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 2.0 and DatecodeM250Need to create BOM balloon in Assembly. is there any way to create BOM balloon parametrically in assembly Model?. We have created the BOM balloon by using Session ID of Sub-Level Components. is there any better way please confirm and Guide us. Thank You.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.4.0change back round color on start up.change file name length.

When I move a balloon around, it runs away. I was to move it onto a snap line, however, the balloon fled so far away. I am not sure what it was worried about. There must have some constraints in its mind driving the balloon always run away. How to prevent this time-consuming "catch&flee" cycles?
