Creo+ and Creo Parametric

When you build a drawing format and use a table from a file, is there any way to tell what that table name was after the fact. You can click on the table number in the model tree and get detailed information about the table formatting, but not the name of the table file that was used to create the table. I have many tables that I have had to create a spreadsheet for to remember what all the table names are that I have used in the various formats and drawing templates. How many others would appreciate the file name of the table being maintained in the properties of the table? I am on Creo 7.0.5.0.

Hi, This functionality seems to have stopped working for me. Typical bulk items will not accept balloon creation, either for the stock simple circles nor custom split balloons.There was a video posted as a solution to this awhile back from @bduncan , but I can't seem to get to it. Creo 4 M100Any help is appreciated.

Hi All, I have a few 'design skeleton' parts that include extruded geometry. I would like to assemble these parts in a standard assembly in order to export to another simulation software package. When I assemble the first .prt file into a new assembly it obviously treats it as a design skeleton and doesn't seem to allow for choosing assembly constraints.Is there a way to save this as a standard .prt without the design skeleton association? Thanks.

We recently updated from Creo 2.0 to Creo 7.0.4.0 (tested in 7.0.6.0 too) and we are seeing issues with regeneration and unexpected feature failures. It seems Creo 7 is not as robust as Creo 2? Open the model, nothing to regenerate. Model looks complete.Delete unused sketchExtend feature fails Force regen of model with Model PlayerTrim features creates extra edgeStyle surface fails Has anyone dealt with this issue before?Are there any best practices or config options to make older Creo model behave? 

Hy Martin   As per this thread, same issue.   I have the same problem by collecting all dimensions of a drawing in 7.0.3. I checked my class path. What is the different between both archives? Can you show us please the content of 3 java-classes? Thanks a lotDieter

Hello Friends,  I have use ProSolidFeatureVisit() API  to find the component , but it collect component at first level , But I want to find the component at all level in assembly ,Please help me to resolve the issue. Regards,Kunal  

Hello friends ,  I am new in Creo Customization , I have use ProDrawingDimensioncleanup function to auto allign the all dimension in sheet , for that I  set the value cleanup offset dimension and cleanup dimension incremental value through program but still dimensions are going out of sheet boundary , please help me to resolve the issue .

I am using Creo Parametric 2.0 M080Dear Team, We have developed a toolkit(.dll) application(few years back), with few functionalities to export sketch information into PDD file(.XML). Now, we would like to debug this .dll file and interested to upgrade it in such a way, that it captures all sketch entity information such as dimensions and constraints.We are facing trouble when setting-up the debugging environment. when we set breakpoints in Visual Studio code and run local debugger, it triggers the Creo executable but then this toolkit is not running by default in the list of auxiliary applications.We would like to have a detailed session with the developers of this program, as we also have other queries related to functions implemented in the code.

Hello,I am using "ProStringToWstring()" for that I have pass "ProCharLine" , but i have string which I want to Pass into "ProStringToWstring()".But string not getting converted into "ProCharLine".Please help if any one have solution to it.

We have found problems when analyzing FEM results of laminate layups. The problems occur when you have forces in normal direction of a laminate layup. I will show a simplified model below to show you the problem and then I hope you can guide me to a solution.   Model: Composite beam. Fully constrained at one side and a normal force of 10 N at the other side. A surface of 20 mm width x 600 mm long is creating the test object. This surface is simplified as a shell with a composite laminate attached to it.   The laminate consists of two 1 mm layer.   Results according to von Mises shows: Same stresses as hand calculations are obtained (225 MPa at the middle of the beam). No problems so long.   Now to the problem. When you are running a composite analyze you want to analyze the results in failure-index, not von Mises. Failure-index compares tensile and compressive stresses against specified limits in the material data. Following is obtained when showing maximum fail

Hi I am having problems with limit dimensions I wish to be able to set upper and lower limits in the dimension but the option to allow me to edit this is greyed out.I have taken the time to read a few posts so I know about changing tol-display to yes in drawing options I have also changed Tools > options > tolerance_standard to ISOI am just a bit lost where to go from here.Thx.Hope you can help.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0I was working on several parts in a workspace and each independent of each other. Creo would randomly crash when saving, modifying, opening, and/or removing the part files. I was able to remove the files eventually and started in a whole new worskpace and checked out new files. The same error repeated itself "Exception EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE_EXCEPTION". This issue would cause a fatal crash to Creo on average twice per five minutes. All files that were used to test and find the pattern on what was causing the issue were randomly selected and disconnected from each other. Sometimes the same part and sequence would work without error and sometimes that same sequence would fatally crash.Here are the errors that I facedException EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE_EXCEPTION has occurred in the thread 6920

Hello, I'm trying to estimate the build time by measuring the cross section area for each slice in a model, since I have an approximated melting-time/area [m²/s]. My idea were to use a plane which defines a section and from there measure the area, then move the plane one length unit and take a new measure. This would go on until the whole part/build is covered then save this data to a .csv or excel file. My question is: is it possible to write a script within Creo to do such thing or are there anyone with another suggestions? Thanks!

I use Creo 7.0.2 on Win10.Here's what i encounter:I want my body to be 1.5 times high by stretching in warp tool, but the result didn't match. it turns out to be 2.1xxx times. and I found out that the boundary of the marquee is not lying on the surface of my body exactly but having a offset value. Size:150x43x1.5mm File_name: tmp_warp.prtSo when I stretching the result won't meet what I expected.*This body forms by removing certain features.(The original one is the shape defined by my customer, and therefore I can't show you guys.) However when I create a new part and draw the same shape but big hieght, the marquee correctly lies on the boundary of the body. Size:150x43x30m File_name: tmp_warp_2.prtThe question is for the case I encounter, I don't even know the offset value of the marquee, so i can't adjust by modifying the value in the box. Is there any possible ways to snap the marquee on the surface I want or know the offset value so I can adjust it.

I am trying to create a cutaway view that removes a corner of a part to give the user a view inside the assembly.From the help, I understand that I have to create a surface and a zone (3D cross-section).I do not know how to activate the section. What steps am I missing?The models are made in Creo Parametric 6, but I tried in 8 as well.

I created a repeat region for a wire harness, details include: From/To Connectors and Pins, Wire specs such as color gauge, length. All data are populated except for the From/To Pin names (harn.run.cond.from.pin.name). How do I resolve this? Thank you!

Hi!I have problem with the report of the harness parameters in table.I have set parameters for connector, pins and cripms. But I can not report this. I have the filing, that I can not use all of the parameters shown in the group in my attachment. So I can not create a table with the information from witch Pin to with Pin the wire is going.If I use the manufacturing tool, he create right table, But this table is dad (it is just text). So any update is not working.That is way I prefer  to have my own drawing with my own table. What can be the problem?Maybe somebody can do this table (I have attached the Creo files)Thank you in advance! 

The handlebars are barely movable when the parts "GEAR1" and "GEAR2" are unsuppressed but otherwise perfectly movable when they are suppressed. Are they incorrectly attached to the assembly?

I have a few annotations on a 3D model that I want to print and give to the shop floor for a quick in house EC. The issue is I cannot find a way to easily "preview" the print before it's on paper, and the Based on Zoom setting is never accurate to the limits of the graphics window. Is there an easy way to either preview the print before I actually print the view, or set the "size" of the graphics window to a standard paper size so the Based on Zoom setting will represent a full sheet of paper.
