Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Would anyone know if you can reference the Component Feature Number (not internal feature ID) in a relation for a filter in an assembly drawing repeat region?Wanting to use features in an assembly model tree, 2 features at a time using their location in an assembly model tree to control what components are displayed in an assembly drawing BOM table on a particular sheet.Basically, if the components are between any 2 features in the model tree that I specify, I want to show them and only the quantities for the parts in the BOM table repeat region on a drawing sheet for the components that reside between the 2 features in the model tree.Features would be named Sheet_2, Sheet_3, Sheet_4, Sheet_5, etc. and could be an annotation feature, datum plane, or other feature.Repeat region filter would be if greater than feature number for Sheet_2 and less than feature number for Sheet_3 display component info and qty of part in that section of model tree in BOM table.Each drawing sheet will build

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.9.0How to create drawing template in HMX. Is there any option to apply sort and filter in data tables generated by HMX. After generating flattened harness drawing how to change orientation of connector.

I just had Creo 10.0.7.0 crash. Thankfully I was no longer in any models at the time of the crash. Just starting to open a file. When I restarted Creo, all the “Recent” files are not from today - I had just seen them and chose one when the crash occurred. Any thoughts?

In Creo assembly design, is it a good practice to first validate the concept using Layout, then define a Skeleton model, and finally create parts within the assembly using skeleton references?Does this approach help avoid assembly issues, or are there better recommended workflows?

We normally retrieve hole features from part files using Solid.ListFeaturesByType(false, (int)EpfcFeatureType.EpfcFEATTYPE_HOLE). However, this code doesn’t work for certain ISK part files and returns a null group value. Please explain, why the part file is returning a null group value?

I’m currently using Creo 4 to test interference detection through VBAPI in C#. When I try to run the same code in Creo 11, the application launches and the working directory is set successfully, but I receive a 'pfcExceptions::XToolkitInvalidName' error at the line session.OpenFile(modelDesc1).Activate(); One more question: Does Creo 11 support rotating and zooming the assembly to capture the interference location?

Now that the Community is back… I wanted to share a cool statistic. CREOSON - the Open Source API for Creo Parametric has achieved over 10,000 Downloads! 🎉 You can learn more about it, and download it, at https://creoson.comNOTE: A lot of time, energy, and cool people have been working on this for many years.😎 Hat Tip to the CREPYSON Project for their awesome contributions!

Hi all,For our assemblies, we add a BoM table to the drawing. These were setup a while ago, and we have a few different tables saved for different purposes. The main one is a simple table with a repeat region as followsThis works fine for most of the parts, but it doesn’t allow us to define a different part number other than the one defined in Windchill. If we were starting again with our installation, we would probably add a relation in the start part against a parameter such as ‘BOM_PART_NUMBER’ which defaulted to the Windchill part number but could be changed by the user. This parameter would then be what is defined in the repeat region.However, we now have many thousand parts and none of them have this parameter, and so we cannot change the part number in the BoM without changing the file name of the part.Having done some research, it looks like relations can be added to the repeat region, and so a conditional statement can be added. Descriptively, what I had in mind is that if the

I am using Creo 10, When I go to Creo Simulation Live and click on “Study”, the “include thermal” option is grayed out.  I am trying to perform a multi-physics analysis to determine the effects of thermal expansion.  I found a video by PTC that is exactly what I need to do, but I can’t select the “include thermal”.   This video is for Creo 9, so I would think Creo 10 has the same capability.  The option is there but just grayed out.

Hi there,I am having difficulty identifying spot weld symbols and holes in the drawing.I attempted to modify the datum point symbols to circles through the detailing file and also tried filling the circles. However, this approach is time-consuming, and I am unable to select all spot welds at once.Is there a way to streamline this process?

I'm getting an error when running tasks in CREO: ERROR CODE:3 (SUBCODE7). I've already contacted NVIDIA; we've updated the driver, rolled back to older versions, and tweaked the graphics card settings, but the error keeps coming back. The card is a Quadro P400.   

Document with corrections, there was an error in the Mathcad formula.

Anyone try to define a BSP or BSPT thread in Creo? Do we try custom tools or maybe define it as a tapered mill? Even without any check surfaces the tap I defined will not go past the start surface.

Hi Folks,Is there a way to customize/tailor the Bill of Materials report in assembly mode so that the headers can be specified as parameters?  For example, instead of the default column header 'Name' I would like it to be 'Title'.  I would also like to create additional column headers. Thank you. 

I’ve found an alternative to expensive post processors for Creo. I’ve been testing ManusNC and it’s pretty good. Easy to develop your own post processor for any machine tool and supports Creo NC. Check it out;https://manusnc.com/enFor a five axis post it cost $1500 without a need for yearly subscription. Hundreds of premade posts ready to go. Simple web interface to create a post.

I've created a J-Link application, which has a swing GUI. On click of a UI command button, I'm creating a part files (simulating File--> New Part). The same thing when wanted to simulate through a swing GUI in synchronous mode, the GUI gets created, but when I push the button in the GUI, the GUI hangs. Can any one help me in making the swing GUI work with PROE?class MenuButtonListener extends DefaultUICommandActionListener { public void OnCommand() { try { //This works Session curSession = pfcGlobal.GetProESession(); Model tryModel = curSession.CreatePart("Testing"); tryModel.Display(); //This doesn't work //How to make it work csProe.StepToProeGui.createAndShowGUI(); } catch (Exception x) { STEP_TO_PROE.printMsg("something wrong: " + x); x.printStackTrace(); System.out.println("------------------------------------"); } }}

Hi,I have a large assembly and would like to create a clear, step-by-step single animation. I am planning to use different simplified representations to generate clean exploded views for each stage of the animation.However, in the Animation window, I can only see options to control explode states, timing, and view orientation. I do not see any option to control or switch simplified representations.Could you please let me know if there is a way to operate or include simplified representations within the animation sequence?I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Kind Regards,Sunil Kotte

I've got an odd one and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this/has a solution? I have been using Creo 11 parametric with an educators licence. Yesterday I was creating a fairly basic drawing, upon saving the drawing it crashed on me (this isn't a regular occurrence). When attempting to re-open the drawing it 'loaded' but nothing was displayed, no template, model or annotations. I closed the program and tried to open different drawing, but this time only the template and annotations loaded in, no model visible. Loading parts and assemblies also became difficult, with components not rendering properly. Often models would load in only as wireframe even if a shaded option was selected, also on occasion large orange triangles will be displayed around the part?  After trying various options I uninstalled Creo 11 and re-installed with Creo 12. I am finding that the same issue is still occurring? The drawings sometimes load in partially/completely if I open the part f

I have a simple part (modeled by somebody else or imported).It has some phantom lines that I can't hide.In 3D model space, If I set to "wireframe, no hidden" there are still hidden lines that shine through.Same thing happens if I make a drawing from this part.It may be a configuration setting rather than part issue, since the lines do not show up on other people's machines. Creo 11.Any help will be appreciated. 

Hi experts i have doosan s310 smly mill turn with fanuc series 18-t control..i need post processor for creo.

Hello everyone, when Ι try to install creo parametric 12.4.0.0 Ι get this message and the creo parametric cant fully installed. Ι have try to install the latest java and the java 21 and still have the same problem.
