Creo+ and Creo Parametric

My end goal is to bring parts into Autodesk moldflow, have surface splits exactly where my gate location is. This will allow Moldflow to populate a node exactly where I want it, allowing me to create a beam off that node and create my gate in the precise location. Solidworks has a feature called "Split Line" that allows you to use sketch entities to split a surface, or face of a solid body, into separate surfaces and/or faces. A lot of the posts I've seen pertain more towards having the ability to change the color of the faces/surfaces. In my search I found the following solution: "1. Copy and paste the surface you want to split. 2. Trim the surface the way you want it. 3. Apply a warp to the surface. Don't make any actual changes to it; just apply a warp feature and hit green checkbox. 4. Solidify it. It will now show up as a separate surface that you can paint in a separate color." I tried this but it does not split every surface, and with the few parts I've tried

Hi, Does anyone use a test automation tool or framework for automating Creo Parametric manual test cases?Creo buttons are not recognized in tools\framework like selenium, work-soft, etc... If anyone using any tools to automate the manual test steps please share.Any windows application automation tool which suits Creo parametric? Obviously, the preference will be for free tools. If it's paid also can think of it.We can use a trail file for some kind of automation but it's not suitable for my use case.    Thanks,Suresh

Hello,I would like to know if anyone knows a command or a way to clear all the information provided by the "File History" command, in italian "Cronologia file".(Tools> Investigate> File History).I would like to cancel to avoid unnecessarily sending information such as users, hosts, dates, etc ...I am attaching an image to be clearer.Thank you.

Does anyone know if you can import an image into Creo then use that image to create a piece of sheet metal with that shape. Below is the image I want to import and turn into a piece of sheetmetal. I have also attached the .png file.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hello,I have to create  Group like in the picture. I have to fill it with some parts model. I tried with ProLocalGroupCreate((ProSolid) assembly_mdl,part_mdl_id,model_number,L"COMPONENTS_TOP",&localGroup);ProModelitemNameSet(&localGroup,L"COMPONENTS_TOP");/* Refresh the tree tool */ProTreetoolRefresh(asm_mdl);but nothing was created.Can you help me please? Thank you very much.@MichelH @YaroslavSin @rghadge   

After using the weld module to create welds i have run into a problem. When showing the respective symbol on the drawing the tail is populated by the weld order. I don´t seem to be able to change the order manually and more importantly i can´t remove it completely. Anyone know of a solution ? As it is now i have to add the symbols manually as i can´t get rid of the ordering.

Hi,Can some one help me how do you extrude a scale on a cylindrical part with the numbers from 1 to 10 the easiest way. The only option i have found so far is making a lot of planes and extrude the numbers individual. I am seeking a smarter way to do it, because i need to do it with many more numbers  

Good afternoon, how to get rid of the extra boundary line in the detailed view (at the left)? Thanks. _JS

How to create this simple cross-section view correctly? (Note: the presented section view is wrong, it should be normal to its cutting planes). I know there is a procedure to make it somewhere buried in document. However, how to find this HELP is also not a simple task.  Is any kind of this problem need one day to solve? In SolidWorks, pertinent Helps are available at one click, not like in CREO, in which I have to be well educated before I can type in the correct keywords to find a Help.

Hello,   looking for a reverse Engineering Software for 3D scans I found the reverse Engineering Extension for Creo. I use Creo 2.0 as my CAD software, so this is very interesting for me. I want to 3D scan objects and then edit them parametrically in Creo. Unfortuantely I couldn´t find much information about how REX works, what it does and so on. I tried to contact the sales team via the contact form (in Germany btw), but they don`t answer me for almost three weeks and there is no phone number or e-mail adress on the website. So does anyone of you have experience with this extension and can tell me a little bit about it? Can it automatically detect surfaces, cylinders, radii etc.? If yes, how good does the detection work for 3D Scans (with a professional scanner)? Does it create a history tree just like in a normal parametric file? So is it feature-based?   Can someone maybe even compare it to a reverse Engineering software like Geomagic design X?   Thanks, Patrick

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M160Can you provide what the latest version of Java is supported with this version of Creo?

Creo Parametric 4.0/7.0   Hi, I have to get all part component from an assembly and group all those components in top or bottom group. Is there a function that allows to differ top and bottom components?   I use ProSolidDispCompVisit to visit all components. Put all in an array with ProArrayObjectAdd and loop all models. I want to separate top from bottom and create/fill group with.   Thank you very much!

Any time I open a tool or click on anything that opens a pop up window (such as the options button or currently the profiles function with in framework) the window opens up so tall that I can not see the bottom making it impossible to use. I cant even re-size or drag the window upward to be able to see the bottom. How do I fix this?

Hello   We would like to show axis of a feature into one view of part drawing.   API ProAnnotationByViewShow() works fine but it is to show all axis present into view. We would like to show only specific feature's axis in specific view. For this, we tried API ProAnnotationByFeatureShow() and it suggests that PRO_TK_NOT_IMPLEMENTED.    With all this, tried with ProAnnotationShow() API but this API doesn't have option to show AXIS.    Is there any other way so that we can show AXIS of specific Feature into a view of part drawing?   Thanks and Regards Ketan  

Hello Community, I am trying to get detail about repeat region in drawing table. I want to check whether region in drawing table is fix or unfix using protoolkit.can any one help me on this ? or have any work around to check whether region is fix or not? How in Creo interactively we can check that you can see in below snap. Thanks & Regards,Harsh Patel 

Hello Creo peopleI created couple of cosmetic sketches to show paint masking area on my solid part.In my drawing of that part, I can see those sketches only on my ISO view, but not on front or any other projected views.Any idea how to make cosmetic sketches visible? How to control it?Thanks

The config.pro option online_resources_location is not effecting the default Online resources.As a test I changed this option to:online_resources_location https://community.ptc.com/But when I open "File: Help: Online Resources" it still goes to the default location, which I think is:https://www.ptc.com/en/creo/start-page/wildfireAm I doing something wrong is is this just broken?  I have never used this before.   I am using Creo4 M140.

Hello,I am about to connect to the Windchill server by using ProToolkit written in C.I would like to register new connection to the Windchill server, then create a workspace and commit .asm abd .prt files in to the workspace.So far, I have this piece of code: ProName server_alias;ProStringToWstring(server_alias, "Toolkit_TEST_SERVER");char* server_url = "http://host_name/Windchill";status = ProServerUnregister(server_alias);status = ProBrowserAuthenticate(uname, pwrd); ProPath server_url_w;wchar_t* aliased_url;wchar_t* workspace_name = L"test-002_15_11_2021";status = ProStringToWstring(server_url_w, "http://host_name/Windchill");This is giving me an error:status = ProServerRegister(server_alias, server_url_w, workspace_name, &aliased_url);status = PRO_TK_INVALID_DIR(-15) For me it is also odd to provide a name of the workspace, that I am about to create later on?ProServerWorkspaceData workspaces;wchar_t* context_name = L"DA.test-002";sta

On the drawing the UI the new symbol tab that appears by clicking on an existing symbol shows Definition Name under the Customization group, and allows you to place a curser in that dialog, however, It doesn't allow me to edit the symbol name.  Do we still not have the ability to rename a symbol within Creo?     From the preview/user group for Symbols, it looked like we were going to get some extra symbol definition or even the Edit capabilities within Creo, however, I haven't seen any yet.  Please let me know if you find any.

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M100Unable to enable jt annotation while exporting from Creo parametric 4.0.We have selected the annotation check box but we are unable to select the "Rich content" option from jt export option.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M040When we create sheet metal parts to be cut on our laser, many have complex splines, rather than smooth arcs. Is there a way to have Creo export DXFs from the drawing with best fit curves and arcs rather than splines and polylines?

I usually work with multiple projects at a time.Normally, I would close a project and then open a new one. With each project, one config.pro file saved in working directory is loaded into the session. I was thinking about "unloading" the options from a project, then change working directory and load/import the options in the new config.pro file (which is saved in the new working directory) when I need to work on another project. If it is possible to do so, I can work with multiple projects without having to close Creo and open it again. However, I could not find anyway to "unload" config options from a config file. I understand that if I load a new config file into current session, options from the previous config file will be overwritten. However, there are many things I want to delete but will not be overwritten, for example mapkeys or search paths. Could you please tell me whether there is a way to do that? Thank you in advance!

Hello, I'm trying to find a way to give an estimate of how much heat there will be in a component during a 3d-printing operation.My idea was to have a part, which I cut using a plane and solidification, then move the plane in order to let the part "grow" for each printed layer. During this there is heat/energy load on the surface for each layer.Ideally I would like to have the simulation to not add a new layer (move the plane) and add heat until the average temperature of the part is below a certain value. The goal is to find a time for cooling between each printed layer. I've tried using a plane + solidify where the plane's translation is bound to a parameter that increments on each regeneration (by using relation) but sadly this did not work. My question is: Is it even possible t change the geometry during a thermal simulation and would it be possible to constrain the heat load for each layer by measuring the temperature of the parts current state?

My company expanded by buying another company. The company we bought used Creo 4.0 for most of their work. My company uses SolidWorks. I am in the process of learning Creo, I had some Pro/E experience a few decades ago, hopefully I can remember some things.   Anyone have any tips or training classes that might be of help to get up to speed on Creo 4.0 as fast as possible?
