how to convert the combined state MBD with all annotations to 3D PDF in Creo?

Hello Everybody,Right now I am trying to update existing text from Drawing note with another text using following hierarchy. But the text is not getting updated. Can someone help me on this. DetailNote       -> DetailTextLines                    -> DetailTextLine                                 -> DetailTexts                                           -> DetailText                                                    -> SetText("Text") 

I am looking for users that have experience designing injection molded parts that are molded in a flat state but adopt a 3D topology in use. I have been challenged by some users to develop a method that allows for the design of the parts in a 3D state that can be flattened for mold design. I am curious to see how this may be handled in other environments.   We are well aware of the mathematical constraints surrounding surfaces that can be developed. This is critical to being able to create a flat pattern from a formed shape. Based on this we currently approach this by designing the flat pattern part and then "morph" it to the assembled form. Both states of the part are needed in the CAD during design for verification and validation prior to tooling the parts.   Some users have argued that they would prefer to model the 3D formed version of the part and flatten it when released for tooling. While this may be a preferred approach, I do not see how to do it without consideration

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.manufacturing engineering machine design, fixture and jig design 2. What version of Creo Parametric are you currently running?Creo 4 M1503. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video. in assembly mode, when using copy + paste special + advanced reference configuration to repeat the assembly of a component or group of components, the "Use original reference" checkbox is not checked and the reference collector is empty:   Has this behaviour changed at some point?  maybe I'm misremembering, but I swear before I didn't have to process the list of references (3 above, not a big deal, but gets quite tedious to keep checking on that box when that list is larger)    4. What is the use case for your organization?Using the copy+paste special+advanced configuration function m

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 4.0 (connected) Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150DXF Exports are not opening correctly in PCB makers' software. Another client was able to export it at M040 level and it imported fine. We are unable to revert to an older "M" version. Versions M100 and M150 both do not export these files correctly for them to open in Altium software.Another designer at our client was able to export the DXF layout with default DXF Export setting with Creo Parametric 4.0 M040 and import into Altium fine (title block displayed, no missing letters, numbers or symbols)When they tried to import the M100 or M150 exports from me (same settings), it was missing random letters, leaders were not aligned with the features they were to dimension, symbols were coming in as "~" for diameter and "n" for degrees. Title block did not import at all.

Hi,When I learn about restricted parameters, I notice that there is no showcase about how to correctly add <quantity type> and <unit>. I have attempted to create some files but they are not accepted by Creo.Can anyone give me some examples about adding quantity type/unit?    

Currently using the below Java code I am getting many more edges compared to searching for edges in the GUI (ctrl+f, look for:edge)Where are all the extra edges coming from? Session currSession= pfcSession.GetCurrentSessionWithCompatibility (CreoCompatibility.C4Compatible); Model currModel = currSession.GetCurrentModel(); Solid currSolid = (Solid)currModel; ModelItems edgeItems = currSolid.ListItems(ModelItemType.ITEM_EDGE); int edgeItemsNum = edgeItems.getarraysize();  

Is there any way to open 3D files (from CREO) on Android tablet?

HiI hope you are doing well.May someone explain what is the function of a trail file and why it is important to keep them on a location?(is it ?) Sincerely yours.

Hi;I hope you all are doing fine.In our company we defined a set of standard for start parts, formats, materials, .dtl, etc ... and as we need to keep updating these files time to time my question is that what is the best practices for managing these file centrally for all users and enforcing all users to these standards. Sincerely yours. 

@PM_9971370 Ok, not as perfect as I'd like, but the misalignment on the last pin of the last link is only .0035" MAX (.0002" MIN), so, I'll take it since I'm just doing this for fun.  Should be good enough for now.  First off:   Caveats: 1.  I made links an easy 1" long, not following any actual standard for ANY dimensions (so sue me). 2.  I didn't bother to write a bunch of relations as to overall length by # of links, which won't work anyway - see below).  Feel free to do....whatever. 3.  I picked sprocket size by 2 different arbitrary # of teeth and used the 1" link length x teeth to determine pitch diameter, and used 34 links x 1" to determine the INITIAL perimeter length (which had to be slightly increased - see below).   Ok, so, I was going to try and use a bunch of 1" lines moving along a spline to ACCURATELY determone the shape and length of the perimeter needed (the BIG problem is that it CHANGES depending on how many teeth are enga

I'm looking to create a simplified rep. based on part appearances. Ideally I'd like it to be an automated selection process. The simplified rep. would populate based on appearance name. Is this possible? I explored using rules & conditions inside the simplified rep. view manager, but could not find an option for "appearance." Any help, guidance or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Dear All,I try to write an application which creates an object with JAX-WS library, but Creo gives JAXBException.The same code works very well in a standalone application.I think that Creo cannot run JAX-WS libraries. I try to add jaxws library to the project manually but it does not work. try {  EdmonWSSoap ws = new EdmonWS().getEdmonWSSoap();} catch (Exception e) {  DisplayMessage(e.getMessage());  DisplayMessage(e.getCause().getMessage());  return true;}Error Message:javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: {http://tempuri.org/}eitem is not a valid property on class org.tempuri.CreateEItem{http://tempuri.org/}eitem is not a valid property on class org.tempuri.CreateEItemclass org.tempuri.CreateEItem do not have a property of the name {http://tempuri.org/}eitem Is there any solution for this issue?In the meantime, I try to send Creo BoM to our ERP application. We have a SOAP Web Service for ERP connection I can reed CREO data very well and all web-service classes a

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) 7.0 7.0.5.0We've enabled the "overall_size" parameter in ModelCheck, but it keeps placing 2 decimal place values for the parameter. We'd like to have three decimal place values generated for that parameter, but we haven't been able to make it work. Please advise.

Yall   I have some pics in my drawing and model.   In the model I created on surface. In drawing I add using ribbon for pics.   Works great. But apparently they are linked from whence they came and not embedded? They are gone and I get a can't find response.   I am using Windchill.   1. Can I embed them into the files? 2. If not embedded...do I need to load into Windchill?   TX Wayne

Hi,   Asking for advice on how to analyse an aluminum honeycomb panel. The layup is 0.5mm aluminium sheet, 20mm aluminium honeycomb structure and a final aluminium sheet. These make up a plate of 400x400mm. How should I set this up for best analysis in Creo Simulate? I'm thinking the Shell feature would be the right way and make a laminate material. Should one then have the honeycomb as a material type, to be defined, or should one define a Laminate Stiffness and use that shell as the middle layer? Alternatively define the honeycomb material as an Orthotropic material and apply that to a geometric part representing the honeycomb core? Furthermore, any hints or suggestions to such properties, as I have not yet dealt with honeycomb structural properties? Thanks

Hi all;In our company we have set a policy to release 3d model before starting to create drawing and therefore system not allow the user to save 3d model in this phase . Our problem is that to create sections in 2d it  creates the section in 3d model also which results to modification of 3d model and therefore it needs being saved ...My question is that how do you manage this situation? Is there any other alternatives to it?Please share your experience in this regard. I really appreciate your help.Sincerely yours.

Hi guys, I am using ProSurfaceSideAppearancepropsSet in my project to change suface color and I get PRO_TK_CANT_MODIFY. I don't think it comes from my argument, because it is not  PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS. Do you know why I get this error? Thank you!

Has anyone ever built a search query that will return the curves or surfaces from within ISDX super features? I would like to build a query that will find the curves or the surfaces that are within ISDX features but have not been able to find a way to date. The help files are nonexistent for this, so I am asking here.   This is as close as I have found but it returns the Style features and not the curves or surfaces. I do not see any options in the look for selections that would enable this but perhaps I am missing something.    

Hi there, I am trying to get rid of security warnings within Creo's own chromium browser, when visiting Web.Link enabled Websites (e.g. Windchill). Activating "remember my decision" only works until Creo or chromium is restarted. I tried  web_link_security_autoprompt no  but it does not seem to have an effect on that. Any suggestions?  

Hi everyone, I need some help. How can i activate these navigations tabs  Thanks in advance .
