Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using the analysis feature in Creo 6 to measure angles.  I have read that Creo applies the angles to the normals which makes no sense to me.  Even if I select supplement, conjugate, etc., Creo never shows the angle the way it needs to be in order to be clear.  Please see attached screenshot.  The angle that I measured is shown with the red arrows, but Creo shows only the angle to the normals.  This is confusing, especially when you show this to someone that does not use Creo. Is there any settings that would get the angle measurement to show as expected? Thanks

Would creo have the ability to select previous components while in explode rotate mode?Like in Autocad (copy previous) or (select previous...)???It drive us nuts to have to reselect huge amounts of parts we use from read only engineercontent we import into our tech pub assemblies as simplified reps... As seen above we are rotating this sub assembly and the rotate arrow is buried in the sea of parts. So if we click out of range hunting for our barley visible rotation arrow - our component selection set disappears from time to time creating a user reselect scenario of parts we just had added to our components to move dialog box..

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 8.0 (connected) 8.0 8.0.1.0When I disable the Plane Fill Display, the Datum doesn't refresh correctly: if I turn the model from the positive datum Plane to a negative Datum plane view, the color of the Datum Plane remain the same until I turn off and on the Plane Display. This issue is recurrent evry time I turn the model with Datum Display On without the Plane Fill Display.This issue is present in the 8.0.0.0 and 8.0.1.0 too.Here are the errors that I faced no error nessages

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 4.0 (connected) 4.0 M010I having issues with IpfcFeature.ListChildren() returning 0 children features for a feature I know that has many.Same code works well for other parts, but not for this one.This is the code that works for other parts :Function Simplifier(ByVal currmodel As IpfcModelItemOwner)Dim features As IpfcFeaturesDim currFeat As IpfcFeature = Nothing\Dim solid As IpfcSolidsolid = CType(currmodel, IpfcSolid)features = solid.ListFeaturesByType(True, EpfcFeatureType.EpfcFEATTYPE_ROUND)For Each currFeat In featuresmodelItem = CType(currFeat, IpfcModelItem)' find child-less features and add to operations queuechildfeatures = currFeat.ListChildren()' childfeatures returns the child features of currfeat with some parts, but its failing with others!!NextPlease help to understand if this is a bug or something Im doing wrong.

creo 4.0 unresponsive   we are using creo 4.0 m100.   but don't to Creo4.0.is unreponsive since suddenly yesterday, Reconfigure too   try to disable config.pro after  creo still too not action   I don't know cause   using the  Window 10            

Hi all, I would like to add note to drawing dimension in suffix using VB API. As per my understanding IpfcBaseDimension.Text can handle only model dimensions. But my requirement is to update 2d dimension Can somebody throw some light on this.   Regards, ManjunathS  

I hope someone can answer this. Are default datum planes/coordinate system required? I was taught waaay back when, that 0,0,0, (origin), defination was paramount. Coordinate system more-so than planes. Any feed back welcome.

I have read most of the articles from the PTC Community on circular references, but none of the typical solutions work.Like usual, the references keep the cabling harness I am working on from being checked in to Windchill. However, the Reference Viewer doesn't bring up any circular references. Furthermore, if I save a backup locally, no .crc file is generated. My only other option is to manually find out which ones are preventing the harness from being checked in, but as it's the complete harness for a construction vehicle, I am asking for any other possible solution I may not know about.

While using ProSelect() i am unable to select datum plane from creo parametric window. Help me out if any anyone has solutions to this problem. 

Hello Creo Users,I have a couple of problems to solve: in my custom part template I currently insert manually the last-saved date of any part/assembly and the custom part number of any part model (local pre-set parameters of the custom part template). Is it possible to make the part template to: - update the date parameter after any saving action? - create, after the first saving action as example, the custom part number (so that it is unique, not already existing among the assembly)?Thank you for helping.Best regards Stefano

Hello. Would anybody, please, make a detailed description of the parameter link between parts? I want to assign the values of one part to the other, and by this, drive the second part (driven) by changing the dimensions of the first part (driving). For example, a plate of h=100mm and w=200mm, must drive another custom made plate, so that after the values of the first part (h and w) has been changed, the dimensions of the second plate changes accordingly. Best regards,Sergey 

Is there any way to create a user defined parameter in the .asm file to capture quantities of parts then use that in a note?I know you can get the quantity from the BOM but in I need more detailed because we use a lot of parts and subassembly so the subassembly can be shown in the BOM but not as a note in order to show it in the selected sheet of each part from the subassembly. currently we put this note manually so we have a several of issues   

I know how to measure the distance between two entities in Creo, but I would like to know the vector components: dx, dy, and dz.    Can Creo do this?   Thanks.

Using Creo 5.0.4I cannot tell what the "Automatic reference creation from selected background geometry" option does.                             My interpretation to the Help Center page, with it off, you have to select a sketch tool, like Line, first in order to Alt+select a background entity to add it as a reference.  With it on, you do not need to select a tool 1st.  However, I can Alt+select and add entities as references by right clicking, regardless if it's toggled on or off. sketcher_auto_create_references is not in my config file, the default is no (off). So, what does "Automatic reference creation from selected background geometry" accomplish?  For background, I am/was an advanced Solidworks user/administrator for the last 10 years and am now using Creo for a different company.  I am about 3 wee

In an assembly I want to visit all the ProCsys with a certain name and then get there coordinates. I have tried several examples which use ProSolidCsysVisit(), including the ProUtilCollectSolidCsys() and ProUtilCsysFind() functions. I know how to get the coordinates with the ProSelection typ by selecting a Csys with ProSelect() but now I have to use the ProCsys typ. But I also think I am not using the functions ProUtilCollectSolidCsys() and ProUtilCsysFind() correctly because I don´t get a list of ProCsys, only one value.Can someone help me to understand this? There are also some things I didn´t find any explanation, like what is the "handle to the solid" or what does "PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND" mean? Thanks a lot!Tim

Is it possible to display thumbnails for PVZ files in Windows Explorer when only Creo View is installed locally? The Help Center says:You can view thumbnail images of files in the File Open dialog box, Creo Parametric browser, Model Tree, and Windows Explorer. ...but nothing is said about how this can be set up or what the requirements are.

We are considering migrating the following files from a network drive to a Windchill folder, but would first like to hear what the pros and cons of doing so.  Obviously a pro of having in Windchill is back up and revision/state control.  However what else have you found? .mtl Material files (pro_material_dir) .sym Symbol files (pro_symbol_dir)   Currently, from the network drives, if either one of these file types are modified, and the Creo model opened again, neither will look at the new file as they are both saved with the model only and loose their connection to the original file.  Does it work differently when using Windchill?  Have you found any config options to help control this or for these files to work better using Windchill vs Network folders?

Hi,I am new to creo customization.I have to get specific face of solid by colour. If Anyone have solutions to this please help.Reference code if any one have.

Hello,I am new to creo customization. While creating sketch feature  during ProFeatureWithOptionsRedefine() getting "General error".I am unable to solve the problem if anybody have solutions  please help.If anyone have reference code please share. 

I was "upgraded" from 4.0 to 7.0.5.0 one week ago and have run into an issue with creating drafts.  PTC has added several features to the draft function to deal with rounds and chamfers.  Now it does not work as expected.  I created a square pocket, put chamfers in 2 corners and want to draft all sides independently.  The default setting interprets the chamfer as seen in the left pocket.  The right pocket was created by drawing the chamfers in the pocket sketch and drafts as expected.   When I uncheck "Create round/chamfer geometry" the chamfers disappear as shown in second image. Is there anything I am missing or is this a BUG in Creo 7.0?  

Hello - Does anyone know if there are existing libraries for the ifx extension for common plastic screws - thread formers and thread cutters?   I'm also wondering if there are libraries for plastic molded-in inserts like these: SI® Molded-In Inserts – PennEngineering (pemnet.com) Thanks
