Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi guys,I’m working in Creo 12 and I do have some tables and BOM tables, and I'd like to change their anchor point. By that, I mean the position of the mouse cursor when I place them using "Table from File". I like to have it in the complete right bottom.I've already tried changing the growth direction, but unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem.Any ideas on how this can be changed? Growth direction of the table via “properties”Location of the cursor when adding table from fileWhat I also have tried to do, is:first create a table with only one cell change the growth direction to the right bottom corner   A table with only one cell and the direction from the right bottom corner add some columns on the left and a row on the top   Adding columns on the left of the first cell save the table when I add the table via “Table from file”, the corsor is at the top left corner of the first cell: Location where the cursor is when adding this table (started with only one cell)  So this wasn’t

Hello! I am in the process of interviewing at PTC and it would really help me if I could get some real customer feedback about Creo. I am looking for the strengths and weaknesses of the product. All levels of experience with Creo are welcome to answer! Thank you for the help!

Hey everyone,I have searched through some of the discussion but I don't really understand the code that has been thrown around. I have three map keys set up in my config file. The first is ft and that opens my family table. The second is od and that opens my drawing and gives me a front cross section view, a right view, and then an iso view in the top right corner, I then pause to pick my instance and fill is my prompts such as details, date, drawn, by, part number, etc. I then use d to open the dimension tool and dimension the drawing. My question is how to I get my drawing file to open and be saved as the same name as the model file through my map keys so I don't have to go in and rename every drawing that I do? I tried to follow some peoples codes and put them in my map key code but then everything messed up. I also would like to get my drawing number box in the title block to be the same name as what the drawing and model are named. I'll attach a copy of the map key code I am runni

This topic is related to this one but the moderator advised me to open a new topic so here it is. I know there are several examples (like the one in the linked topic above) and had one working in the past but we updated to Creo 11 and now this "open drawing with the name of the open part or asm" mapkey doesn't work anymore and can't get it to work. I'm aware of the case that the mapkeys are not embedded anymore in the config.pro. I have some mapkeys that are working or are working again so how the new mapkeys work I know.. So who has a working mapkey or can help me with this?

Using CREO 13. I always design in mm, all my files are set up like that.When I export a sheet metal flat pattern however (via the new direct export feature in CREO 13), the resulting DXF is inches (and the part is huge).I noticed the DXF contains the following string:$INSUNITS 701  0The “1” is the file setting to inches. Should not be like that.I don’t know where it comes from.I have my config.pro set up as following:pro_unit_length unit_mmdxf_out_scale_views yesdxf_out_drawing_scale yesI also noticed I have a dxf_template.drw. When I open it I notice drawing_units is set to “inch *”, but when I change it it immediately goes back to “inch” when I recheck, so I can’t set it. Not even sure if that file has any relevance. Also checked some iso.dtl file, which is has drawing_units set to MMI’m out of options right now. Any ideas?

The PRT which is the drawing based on has International System units (mm) settings. Whenever the generated DXF is opened, the Creo 9 drw convert dimensions from mm to inch and it is not intended. I'm not being able to find conversion in the drawing module. Don't know if the conversion occurs in the DXF exportation or in the drw generation from the exported DXF. Thanks

We have native legacy CADRA .cad files and need to convert them to pdf or similar. Is there a compatible viewer or conversion method?

Hello Everyone,I’m still a beginner in Creo and really need your help,Can someone please guide me on how to get an helical sweep to follow the surface in the pictures below?It works with when selecting Constant but it doesn’t work when I switch to Variable 

I recently deleted Creo after having several problem codes (-9) and thereafter (-1) which came out of the blue. I tried following recommended steps, but after these didn’t work, I deleted Creo and every file related. When trying to download again, everything goes smooth until I try to install my university license, where it simply says “ERROR” under the license. I am now just a bit lost, and can’t find any solutions to the problem.

I have the same problem as mentionde in topic In Creo 12.4.3.0 and sqlite-jdbc-3.50.2.0.jar. The code below shows no driver was loaded. log.debug("List JDBC drivers:"); ServiceLoader<Driver> loadedDrivers = ServiceLoader.load(Driver.class); for (Driver driver : loadedDrivers) { log.debug(driver); }Even with this code, no driver found.Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC"); This line in parametric.psf show also no effect.ENV=PRO_JAVA_COMMAND=%PRO_DIRECTORY%\%PRO_MACHINE_TYPE%\obj\jdk21.0.10_7\bin\java.exe -Djdbc.drivers=org.sqlite.JDBCAny ideas?

 Currently Im managing the eBOM and mBOM using PDMLink module withing Part Structure tab (Without MPMLInk module)here is my eBOM and mBOM association examples,ERT-1234 A.1(Engineering) ERT-1234 A.A.1(MFG-Plant-1) ERT-1234 A.A.1(MFG-Plant-2) ERT-1234 A.A.1(MFG-Plant-3) ERT-1234 A.A.1(MFG-Plant-4) Now , I’m planning to move to Windchill MPMLinkplease let me know do we have any PTC recommended Tools or Utility to run all the existing data to MPMLinK Thanks,Vishvanath

I’m using the new flat pattern dxf export feature in CREO 13 and so far it is working very good.However to further automate my workflow, I would love to include the thickness and possibly the material in the filename.In the export dialog, I tried setting the file name to:&model_name_&smt_thicknessbut that gives an illegal characters error. Is there any way to do this? Additionally it would be convenient to export any parameter as text like you can export width and length currently.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0 I am attempting to automate the Fix Indexing process in a Creo drawing for multiple components within an assembly by assigning RPT_INDEX values through relations at the assembly level. The goal is to update the BOM item numbering and sequence automatically in a single operation. for Here are the errors that I faced after assigning and verifying the relations, the BOM table does not rearrange according to the specified RPT_INDEX sequence upon regeneration. Additionally, the RPT_INDEX values are not consistently reflected against the intended part numbers, resulting in incorrect item sequencing within the BOM. We would like to understand whether this behavior is due to a Creo limitation, configuration requirement, or software issue, and seek guidance on achieving fully automated Fix Indexing through relations.

Hello,We received from customer Bend table in format which SolidWorks read well, so we are trying to apply that in Creo (Creo 11.0.3), but as we noticed Creo has a little bit different format. It has radius and thickness and values inside are bend allowance if i understood correctly, and the table from SW have thickness, radius , bend angle (which is not affecting k-factor if u see table, so it can be ignored), and k factor as value derived (0.618, 0.619, 0.693....). Does anyone know how that should be applied in Creo and have maybe some examples, or is bend table a right way in Creo to apply this.

I have an assembly with 5 different components and I'm planning to create 7 different instances. 4 of the 5 components will always be painted the same color, but the 5th component needs to be a different color (color-coded for each of the 7 instances). When I assign that component a color in the generic assembly, the same color propogates to each of the 7 assembly instances. Anybody know how to overcome this problem?

I have extensively used equation curves based on the sine curve formula in the work I do.  I would like to be able to vary this to where the upswing of each wave is tighter than the downswing.  The wave itself would retain the same height on the upswing and downswing only the radius values would change.Below is a mock up of what I am hoping to be able to do.  Also, I would like to be able to repeat this pattern.  I am hoping that this would be possible. 

My company recently transitioned from Creo 10 to 13 (version 13.4.1.0), and one of the features I used regularly is no longer available, as far as I know.  I have been using the scroll wheel to change between items on drop-down menus - e.g., tolerances in drawings, joint statuses and definitions in welds, file type in the Save As window, and probably more - and it appears that that function no longer exists in Creo 13.  It was very convenient to my workflow, and I hope that this functionality can be restored in a future patch, or support personnel can direct me to a config option to fix this if it already exists.  Thank you

一个组件生成的BOM表，但是有些部件不希望在BOM中看到，就使用了简化表示，现在只有在3D装配图形中看不到零件了，但是生成的BOM中还是存在不希望看到的零件，我应该如何设置才能达到想要的效果，感谢

HeyI have a Mould that has 3 BodiesWhen I make a drawing I want to show only one of each bodies. My goal is in the 1st sheet I will show the views of  top part of the mouldin the 2nd sheet I will show the views of middle part of the mouldin the 3rd sheet I will show the views bottom part of the mouldand in the 4th sheet I will show 1 view top part and another view middle part and so on.. each sheet will have top view, bottom view and side views of the body  Please let me know how I can do it

HiI am on Creo 10.0.1.0While features such as Holes, Rounds, Chamfers etc can be grouped using query in Layers, wondering if the same can be done in the “Design Tree”.Filtering the design tree and dragging and dropping the features into the custom group is a manual process which we would like to avoid. The reason being, every time a new feature such as a round is added, it would not become a part of the custom group, without a manual intervention.Help documentation is silent on this aspect.I am aware that this can be done through layers.Thanks in advance.

When a PCB needs to carry significantly higher current, simply increasing the trace width is not always enough. There are several factors that need to be considered during the PCB design stage to make sure the board can handle the electrical and thermal requirements.Copper thickness is one of the first things I would evaluate. A high-current design may require thicker copper depending on the expected current and allowable temperature rise. Trace width, copper pours, and the overall current path are also important because resistance in the PCB can result in voltage drop and heat generation.Thermal management is another consideration. Components such as MOSFETs, regulators, connectors, and power devices can generate significant heat, so the PCB layout needs to provide suitable copper area and thermal paths. Vias can also be useful for transferring heat and connecting copper between layers.The return-current path is just as important as the power path. Poorly planned ground connections ca

i have problem executing smartcolor in creo could someone send a url of an explicative vedio

I’ve kinda got a situation here… Consider I have two diffrent teams working in my office. One team is sitting at a different country & the other is sitting at India. Now, both of them are working on a same rocket assembly & the parameters & relations which both the teams are using are different only in terms of names. The result/output of the parameters that are needed are same. Now, if I want to bring them together, where CREO has to identify that 2 differently named parameters are the same & it has to consider a master parameter based upon the 2 named parameters…Is there any way to do this???

Hello all.I need to create a heilcal gear for my project.I’ve tried a few on Youtube but cant get them to work.Does anyone know of a good guide to follow...or even on online generator where i can input my data and download a stp file?I found one online generator but it wont accept my data - out of range.I’m on Creo 11.Thanks

Hi,Does anyone have experience with ‘Leo AI’ in the Creo Parametric-Windchill environment?Thank you
