Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Dear @KenFarley and @BryantMorgan, With reference to this topic! Is there a way to use Gpost to split an nc file in couple .tap-files?So that Gpost looks for time or length?   I would like to use this information to export an "SET", and then let GPOST split it into different TAP-parts (every tool has then his own NCL-File). That would make the explort of CL-Files easier.. because now we have to calculate every Step one by one becuase the NC-Machines/Worker prefer it that way.

"If these anchor points are cut off by a section, the dimension won't be visible." Reference topic: Hole annotations not showing - PTC Community Is there a way to shift those anchor points to visible section?I have thread hole where one annotation (MAX) is "anchored" to axis of the hole and is visible in any cross section, but the other dimension (MIN) is visible only in correctly oriented cross section, which is not cutting off the anchor points. Is there a way how to swap the anchor points to other side of the design or is it dead end in MBD?

Hello everyone, I want to output G-code like this for swivel head 3,4,5-axis milling. For 4 and 5 axes, required G43.4 before rotary motion, and for 3 axes, G43. Can someone point me to which section in the post-processor I need to modify to achieve the required code? plz check the attached post-processor file. and creo10 mfg file..(5-AXIS SWIVEL HEAD CLEANED PROGRAM)%O0001N3  G91 G28 Z0.               N4  G91 G28 X0.

I am looking at updating our old start parts that have Pro/Intralink parameters in them which are useless now that we are in Windchill. I read the steps in Article - CS105842 - How to modify or remove Windchill Parameters in Creo Parametric but the parameters are still locked when I open the files in Creo. Any suggestions on how to get clean start parts. I have thought of creating new ones, but we have a lot of parameters that would need added. I saw an article that said ModelCheck can delete unwanted parameters, but it did not address the issue of locked parameters. Will ModelCheck remove locked parameters? Creo 10.0.4.0 and Windchill  13.0.2.0  

Reference topic link @simran  I also have the same problem, have you found a solution to delete the useless BASELINES?Thank you and good day.    

I noticed recently ( I think it has been around awhile) that when you delete an entity that is patterned, it does not delete all the dimension of the pattern.   A part is patterned:   A family table is made:   I renamed the dimension (distance apart and qty) to try and avoid confusion: Next I deleted the part that was patterned (which deletes the pattern too).   But the family table still shows the qty (and on a different one, it didn't get rid of the dimension):   Is this a glitch?

Created a sheetmetal part master view is the flat pattern.  Created a simplified rep in the bent state.  When we assembly the part in the 3D assembly the assembled components do not update to the bent state.  We need one model to represent the component and allow the flat pattern to be used in the drawing.  Our business has only 1 part number for the manufacture of this component.  We do not want to create another CAD PART  ----   BRAKET_FLAT.prt.  This created unnecessary data in our system and complicate Windchill by dragging along unnecessary objects.

Hi, I use creo 11.0 edition. When I want to select plane nothing happens 

Running CREO 8.0I have a section view with 2 components not showing up in view. They are there but will not appear.I have tried excluding and including back and forth in VM States tab. I even cleared out my workspace and did the work all over again it was only a (5 minutes task).. I also created the view state all over again. and nothing.See screenshot of bodies in green that will not appear.I did notice in modelling that when I try to add the parts to the section they will not select but other parts will.  

My AutoCAD human resource is taking 50hrs to trace the outline of something vehicle as seen in attached file. Our client has tons of vehicle images to be converted to .drg, bypassing 3D model. I was wondering if someone has a software that can convert image to as if drawn by a engineering drafting pen. .2mm / .4mm / 1mm sharpie. Thanks for all your brainstorming. This may save us a tons. Thanks in ADVANCE! So much of Creo.. So little time.!

Finally upgraded from Creo 9 to Creo 12 and it started completely locking up the system when adding a countersink to a hole feature.  Contacted tech support and they said the Dell 7760 is not supported by Creo 12! This is crazy!  So now I am supposed to go and buy new laptops for the entire engineering and design team?? Looks like I either find another 3D system or I am stuck with Creo 9.  I didn't upgrade to Creo 11 because they moved the mapkeys out of the config.pro to a separate file that is located on the local client.  This made the CAD much more difficult because one way to standardize and control process is by using mapkeys that were loaded of the server at the start point. Not happy with PTC...

I feel like Creo is slowing us down when opening an assembly, particularly large ones, because it is "Doing preliminary Mass props calculations" on every part it opens.  I'd rather do that manually and save time opening the models.  Any ideas?  Creo 10.0.5.0, WC 13

I have an identification table (1 row) that I insert into a drawing and it contains &ID1:D.When I insert the table I get flagged with the 'ADD PARAM' menu. From here I select string, type my new value, and &ID1 gets added as a parameter in my drawing.I would like to be able to add a 2nd ID table that gets bumped to &ID2:D, so that on every table insert I get an additional parameter created in my drawing. These id's can range to well over 100. So simply creating (2) different tables, one with ID1 and one with ID2, will not solve my problem. Is this even possible? Thanks for your help!

I've found instructions to toggle a custom layer that include writing two .pro configs, then referencing those in the mapkey, but those instructions are from around 2012, and I'm wondering if there is a more straightforward way to toggle a custom layer with a single mapkey. I've currently got a mapkey that hides a custom layer, "CURVES", with the following code: mapkey z ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree` 1 \mapkey(continued) `node0:CURVES`;\mapkey(continued) ~ RButtonArm `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree` `node0:CURVES`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdViewHide` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ PopupOver `main_dlg_cur` `LayerActionMenu` 1 `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree`; Is it possible to modify this to allow for toggling? Currently using Creo 11.0.4.0

Hello. I'm creating a car in Creo Parametric 9.0. I'm currently modeling a wheel arch and need help. I don't know how to connect the arch to another surface. Here's a screenshot to help you understand what I mean:

I am using CREO 8 to assemble a large pallet-racking structure for a big storage system, with significant height, length, and width. I would prefer not to use shrinkwraps or IGES/STEP files, because I want my model to update with any modifications. Additionally, I need to be able to visualize the holes. Could you suggest ways to make the assembly lighter?

I am learning about various analysis tools in Creo 10.0.4.0, and can't seem to find a specific explanation of how the 'Section Thickness' tool works. I (think) the related Thickness tool works by ray-tracing a perpendicular line through every surface, and expected the Section Thickness tool must work similarly, except I'm struggling to interpret the highlighted regions it produces in order to assert where those lines are.  In the screenshot below, I have created a model with a revolved section around the bottom of a sketch that looks like a 4-step staircase, 1 inch long with 0.25 inch steps. I have set the maximum and minimum thicknesses to 1.5 and 0.6, so from the geometry, I expect the last step should have some indication that, measured from top to bottom, it is 2 inches long. However, we only get these minimum sections highlighted, which obviously correspond to areas that would be under minimum, but I still struggle to understand how those lines are traced out. 

Why objects which is regenerated in creo changes it's state from to after regeneration. Object is read only why has it been chagned during regeneration?

Is there a way to modify the end of this wire so that it's in line with the other one (red). and follows those? dots? Also has anyone experienced manually routing a wire and once a new segment has been made it lays itself directly on top of something that has already been routed? Flattening seems to be really tricking and annoying a lot of the times the wires won't move in the plane that I want when trying to put them right beside each other. No matter what I mess with nothing really seems to change how the segment reacts. There are also times that I use the move segment tool and if i move it to far from the original position the segment disappears and the segment in the model tree goes red and I can't undo it I have to flattened that segment again. Hoping someone can shed some light on this as its really frustrating to deal with.

First, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for GRANITE questions. If not, please point me to the appropriate community. I'm creating a KBody instance and for some reason KBody::IsReversed() is returning true. When I ask the triangulator to create tristrips for me, they are coming back with the normals pointing inwards. Is it up to me to reverse the tristrips and normals? Cory

We have a number of users encountering an issue on startup. Whenever we turn on a PC and open an instance of Creo 11.0.4.0, we get an error with the heading "License Warning" and the message "License request failed for feature".  (see attached image) Our current workaround is going to Windows Services and restarting "lmadmin_ptc". This has to be done every time after a computer is restarted or shut down. I've tried reconfiguring the licenses and reinstalling the license server, but haven't found a fix for this. It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to not have this extra step every time we run Creo after a shutdown.

we are using Creo 9best way convert these segmented surfaces to 1 continuous surface ?thanksRich
