Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi, I need to write a plus-minus tolrence into a table, how do you do that?  it needs to state: 9.45 (upper) -0.2093 (lower) -0.3153 I guess you can write in the text editor but I cant figure out what to write Thanks

New Creo 5.0.4 user I have a hole pattern and created some access cuts on a sheet metal part (see picture below).  I rounded/filleted the edges (highlighted in green).  The cut feature patterned easy enough following the hole pattern, but I cannot pattern the rounds (greyed out).  Outside of adding the fillets to the cutout sketch, is there a way to pattern this?  Selecting all of the patterned edges for the round feature seems tedious, and I would guess there would be issues if the hole quantity changed. Thanks,Greg

Hi all,   As per the original post thanks for this information. Where do I find the configuration options with these two lines?   Also, I rather have the opposite problem: for me the animations are too fast, or, for some annotation sets in my PVZ file, the animations have completely disappeared, while for other annotation sets, the animated transitions are still present and working.   What could be the reason for this?

Is there a CREO command to align balloons and distribute them evenly? The balloons shown in the image need to be distribute vertically and evenly. Thanks.  

In an assembly, how do you create a pattern of three (3) parts at once, for exaplme; a bolt, nut and washer, can all three be selected and a pattern of all of them be selected and a pattern created, or is there a copy command that will work better, please give step by step solutions, for us beginners.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) 7.0 7.0.5.0I am switching from Creo 4.0 to Creo 7.0, will the majority of my 4.0 configuration options function in 7.0?Or do you recommend starting a new config.pro?

Is it possible to add a config option to the prodetail.dtl file that will allow me to specify a different font size for tables compared to the default font size for dimensions?  We use a revision table to track changes and I want that font size to be smaller than the font size of our dimensions.

Hi Guys, Is it possible to add a string to my drawings so when someone opens it, and prints it, it shows who printed it (computer name)? I've tried messing with plot_label yes, but I really would like to ability to place this info where I want it on the drawings. Plus it doesn't work all that great.  Is there anything within Creo that I can add to my drawings to change to whom ever opens the drawing, and then prints it? We sometimes have extra drawings floating around our shop, and we are trying to track down who is printing these. lol.  Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,Jay  

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 7.0.0.0Hello, is it possible to install both Creo7 *and* Creo4 on same machine?

Having read: https://community.ptc.com/t5/System-Administration/Creo-4-mapkeys/m-p/560196 https://community.ptc.com/t5/System-Administration/Mapkey-Writing-Editing-Tips/td-p/443729   I have a question about the numerical sequence in the part of the mapkey shown below. Is this using the Tom showed to type in a word?   mapkey(continued) ~ Key `main_dlg_cur` `proe_win` 9 930 614 5898362 1536 1421 848 1920 1080 \mapkey(continued) 1443299 `Z`;%zzss;

Hello Community, I would like to restore the location of a part, or all parts, as saved in one Annotation Set (using the Capture Location command) into another annotation set (using the Restore location command when the other Annotation Set is active). However, this does not seem to work. Is it really the case that saved positions are deleted as soon as you switch to another Annotation Set? 

HiAny best practices for checking for pooling.We are lookign to see if there are any low spots/dips etc that would cause a liquid tp pool if it was poured in thereWe have Creo 7 with no additional analysis extensionsThanksTom

Hi all;We are using creo parametric as our CAD program and recently we started to use 3dexperience as our PLM system to manage our data and process. In our PLM system we have implemented a process which only allows to create drawing from 3d when the 3d file is in released state and can not be modified or saved therefore.Our problem is that creo needs to save a new 3d file when a dimension is added to drawing and it is inconsistent with process which we defined. I have experience with other cad tools like catia, and no need to save 3d file when creating drawing! Is this working within scope of original design specification of Creo? Why creo needs to save 3d file again? My question is that is there any config in creo to solve this issue?Please share your experience in this regard. I really appreciate your help.Sincerely.

Hello Friends, I have collected all surfaces of body , But now I want to find the normal of surface , Is there any API to get face normal. Regards,Kunal

Hi all,Creo 4, M050 In my ModelTree configuration, I don't have any extra columns selected to be shown in the ModelTree.If I open an assembly and select a Simplified Representation to be applied to my assembly, there is automatically an extra column created in my ModelTree that shows the Simpl Reps of all assembly components (if any).If I then open a subassembly, the ModelTree also has this extra column.I find this annoying and would like to turn this 'feature' off if possible.Is there an option that I can set so that no extra columns are created in the ModelTree? There is not a tree.cfg file on my entire desktop that has specified to add an extra column. Screenshots show ModelTree and its column settings after and before I open a Simpl Rep in the assembly. 

It looks like Creo saves a new version of our part and assembly files every time we save in CREO , what is the fastest and easiest way to delete older versions and only keep the latest version ?  We have some large Robot assemblies with many components and would like to know if there is an easy way to do this on all the components at one time ?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M110Is it possible to create a midplane GD&T datum in MBD? I cannot figure out a combination that will allow me to select the middle plane as a datum.

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 7.0.4.0When creating a new part (.prt) with Creo parametric, I would like to assign a parameter named "CREATED_BY" with the current user logged into Windchill (peaple log into Windchill when launching Creo Parametric).I know the PTC_WM_CREATED_BY (and PTC_WM_MODIFIED_BY, etc.) are recorded into the .prt when pushed into Windchill.I would like to access the value stored into PTC_WM_CREATED_BY immediatly when a new part (.prt) is created.Like this I can search into it and fetch first letters of name and surname from the email like : john.do@organization.com becomes --> jdoCurrently, our default .prt template has this relations :CREATED_BY=EXTRACT(PTC_WM_CREATED_BY,SEARCH(PTC_WM_CREATED_BY,"(")+1,1)+EXTRACT(PTC_WM_CREATED_BY,SEARCH(PTC_WM_CREATED_BY,".")+1,2)It work but only after saving AND pushing into Windchill, refreshing and save it again into Windchill (which is not very convignient).Overall, I want a way to access the username when user has logged

Is there a parameter to show what the model units are?  For example: On a drawing I want to show the model mass so I use &PRO_MP_MASS[.2].  But I want to be able to show the units of the reported mass.  I feel like there should be a parameter that is something like "&PTC_MASS_UNITS" or "&MODEL_MASS_UNITS", but I haven't been able to find anything.

Hi, i'll like to know if there's a way to import an IFC  file in CREO 4 or CREO 5, in internet i found a lot information to do it the other way around, but not this way.   Best Regards
