Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello!I need help to define curve with equation. I have simple loop as shown in the attachment.I have the problem to guide a point /curve) on the loop.Although, I use the loop curve at all as reference (and not jus a segment) and I can quide the point in the sketcher, the loop will be not  identified by the motion skeleton.I suppose, that if the curve is generate by equation, maybe it will run.Can somebody write the equation for this loop?Thank you!

I am aware that default accuracy settings changed from Creo 6 to 7 (& 8).  But whether or not these changes affected edge display quality is both unclear and without a way to fix it. Note in the attached images that a "Medium" edge display quality on a 1.5" diameter cylinder is acceptably smooth in Creo 6 whereas the "Medium" edge display quality for the same part in Creo 8 is unacceptable.  Of course, there is the option of "Very High" in Creo 7 & 8 also result in unacceptable edges. If this issue is related to the changes in "accuracy" that occurred in the changes from Creo 6 to 7 & 8, can someone please provide an explanation of how to address this? 

I have a problem about Swept Blend failure. I have made two 2D sections and a reference line, but I can not build a 3D part. As I pull the starting section over a specific point, it can build a part. I have tried several ways like changing the size and shape of the 2D section but I still do not know how to solve this problem. I uploaded some screenshots. If you need the prt file please let me know.    If anyone knows how to solve this problem please reply below, thank you.   Sorry that it was writtin in Chinese couse I clicked the "post" button while I was useing translating feature in Chrome. I have changed it back to English. 

Hi Guys, Have any of you come across tangent lines not showing on drawings on round pins?  Is there a drawing setting to turn these on? Its only on ISO views...that it doesn't show up on the drawing. I have tangent edges display style set to phantom in the drawing view. If i turn on fast HLR for drawing they will show up on the drawing, but once i print, they do not show up. (print preview even shows they are not there, so its not a printer setting)       

Help,   I have a copied assy that has flexible components in it, the problem is i cant add item balloons to them. Just the first one but not others.  any idea?   Jim

I've got a rather large and complicated symbol to work on, and as we all know the interface to do this is horrible in Creo, with all text being overlaid on top of each other. So I had an idea: I'll draw my symbol in a hierarchical fashion, and then use Move Special to move all the notes to their correct positions! That actually worked ok, but it's still a lot of work to move all of the notes. Next brilliant idea: I'll use the VBAPI to connect to Creo with VBA from Excel and I'll have a table that just lists all the notes and their coordinates. Then I can work on my symbol in a nice, uncluttered environment and run the script to jam everything together before saving the symbol. This worked less well. I can't seem to connect to Creo when it's in the symbol editing more. It works fine to connect when I'm in part or drawing mode, but I get an error when in symbol mode. I'm guessing it's because of the ever-open menu. Does anyone know a way around this? I just use a copy-pasted &n

To all I created some measures (RMS disp, RMS accel - that sort of thing) but when I look at the results I see nothing . These do not appear in the list. I also would like to create a PSD response graph but again I am getting nothing.The analysis ran succesffuly and all is Ok. I just do not get measures Thanks

Hi All, I'm trying to set up a rigid body dynamic analysis with creo mechanism, and I'm getting a little hung up on a wheel to ground contact. I have a very simple wheel/axle similar to the one shown below. I would like to apply friction between the wheel and ground, and measure the force required to rotate the wheel/axle assembly around it's central axis (also shown below). Ideally I could measure this torque in two situations: 1. The wheels are locked up/not allowed to rotate with respect to the axle. So pure friction between the wheel/ground interface.2. The wheels are allowed to rotate (more realistic case).  I've been starting with case #1. I've tried a 3D contact between the wheel and ground. This seems to work for a kinematic simulation, but when I add friction the simulation errors out (no specific error message in the notification center).My question: Would I be better off using a cam connection between the wheel and ground, or should the 3d Contact wo

Hello everyone, I recently adopted Creo 7 and started my first experience using the multibody functionality. I'm a senior user of Creo/Pro Engineer for about 20 years.I'm facing some issues in the drawing of multibody components. I've found some tips in the community but not all my questions are solved.In the previous versions I used to create the component shown below assembling some parts that represent the rough material and then placing the features that represent the machining after welding in assembly mode.In this way I can create a drawing with a sheet representing the rough components and a second sheet that represent the welded assembly with all the machining made after the welding process. I tried to do the same using the multibody functionality.I created the rough visualization in the multibody part using the simp rep to exclude the final machining. Welded part:Machined part (lower plate and holes on the vertical plate):Here come the issues: 1. it isn't p

This is maddening.  If I create a dimension under 1mm (i.e.0.5), I get the leading zero, but if I create a GD&T symbol, say, a Flatness tolerance of 0.05mm, I do NOT get the leading zero, and it shows up as ".05".  this is infuriating, especially since I did a dwg maybe a month or so ago where it worked fine and I got the leading zero for the same Flatness tolerance!   Anyone get this?  I've gone thru a ton of settings, and nothing is working.  The one thing that worked was setting the dwg to mm units, which FUBAR'd everything else and which I DIDN'T do on the dwg that worked.   I hate metric...

@gfraulini i'm italian,I went from Creo 2.0 to Creo 8.0 and I think I have the same problem as you.I find it frustrating to have to constantly readjust the model tree width.I am doing several tests but I have not yet completely solved the situation.Have you found a way to solve the problem?Thank you.P.S. It will be my limitation but I have not yet been able to appreciate the file "creo_parametric_customization.ui" gives me more trouble than benefits ...In connection with post - https://community.ptc.com/t5/System-Administration/Creo-6-and-Model-tree-width-definition/m-p/632956#M25259

Hi all, When I start Creo (4.0), I let it open and execute a trail file to init some things, depending on the project I am working on.The main thing it does, is to execute 2 mapkeys.One mapkey sets the current working directory of this specific project.The other mapkey opens the main assembly of this project. This trail file looks like this:   !trail file version No. 1400!Pro/ENGINEER TM Wildfire 4.0 (c) 2010 by Parametric Technology Corporation All Rights Reserved.!!!!

I'm having an issue with part transparency appearance not showing correctly. The attached screenshots are what it should look like and what it looks like once I close Creo and open it back up. Any ideas as to how to save the appearance view where the glass behind is still visible?

I have old licenses of Creo 2 ( perpetual) locked to the computer host ID. The computers are dying and I am not under AMC. Is there a way to shift the license to new computer HOST ID if I am not under active AMC ? 

Hello,I've created Pro/Toolkit customization and I would like to connect to the Creo Parametric instance that is created in another customization, that based on Object Toolkit C++ .Is such connection possible between different Toolkits possible(Pro/Toolkit and Object Toolkit C++)?

Hello,Has anyone experience using the ProCableCosmeticFeatureCreate() function in Pro Toolkit? cable.ParentAsm.ProAssemblyHandle = a assembly that holds an existing cable.cable.ProCableHandle = a cable inside a harness Running: ProCablelocation* proCableLocations; ProFeature cosmeticCable; ProSelection selection; ProCableLocationsCollect(cable.ParentAsm.ProAssemblyHandle, &cable.ProCableHandle, &proCableLocations); ProSelectionAlloc(NULL, proCableLocations, &selection); ProCableCosmeticFeatureCreate(ProCableCosmeticType::PRO_CABLECOSMTYPE_TAPE, selection, L"TapeBundle", L"TapeSpool", &cosmeticCable);  I'm getting this error:PRO_TK_INVALID_TYPE The type of the reference selection is not valid for the type of cosmetic feature to be created. I've tried different combinations but cant get it to work.

when we call &today's_date parameter in drawing it takes the value as todays date. but when we check the properties of parameter it has became hard cord as mm-dd-yy instead of &today's_date. that means if we modify the file still it will referring the old date instead of newly modified date.

Hello. I model a car using the Style tool. I'm trying to make a rooftop but faced some problems. My way of creating the rooftop is to create two surfaces and make an intersect curve. After that, I use The Offset Tool to offset this intersect curve twice for each of the two surfaces. Thus, I create two curves on each surface and am able to trim these two surfaces and create a blend between them. Here's a picture to make it clear for you.          As you can see, for some reason the lower offset curve has a direction (from the top to the bottom) that doesn't match the direction of the offset curve higher(from the bottom to the top). I know that I can convert curves and flip their directions, but how to fix this issue without converting? Maybe I have some problems with the datum planes and references of my curves to them? Thank You in advance.

Notebook/Layout Users (Creo 6):I thought to create a Notebook file to have universal parameters.I created a notebook/layout called aaa with a parameter called xxx.I created a part yyy and declared it to the notebook/layout aaa.Now it is locked in the part yyy as the parameter xxx.I create a drawing zzz with xxx as the model.In a note I create &xxx.One would think the result would report what xxx was equal to?No, it simply does not work.What am I doing wrong?WayneF🤔

ill preface this first with I'm really new at post-processor work,I have a Haas vf4 ss with a few extra features.we have through spindle air, and the auto air gun, *through spindle air on/off m73/m74*auto air gun on/off m83/m84my questions are:*1 is it possible to add these "coolants" to creo as a selectable function*2 how do i ( / do i ) add them to the post-processorwe also have a 65000 rpm air speeder spindle.how do I go about setting this up in the post, currently I'm just running it manually as its own program?we have one of thesehttp://www.airturbinetools.com/

As per this thread - same problem:   This started to happen to me on Creo4 M040, when I added the trail file to the startup command. It looks like Creo is not able to proceed with the trail file, when it encounters license message and it is not able to activate the license message dialog properly at the same time, because it wants to finish the startup trail file first. As I need my startup trail file anyway, I have not found any workaround for this behavior and killing the Creo in Windows Task Manager is the only solution left.
