Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi, when i used Inventor for modelling and drawings, the line thickness was set up for every kind of lines. Like outline was thicker than hidden lines or center lines. When i opened those exported dwg files in AutoCAD i could click on "show/hide line thickness" and outlines "poped up" from the drawing. Now - when i export drawings in Creo, all lines are same - hidden, outllines, center....How to set it up for all drawings? I mean - it should know what is model outline and what is just hidden line, right?   I hope you understood everything (my english is not so good as i want)

 The drill web cycle works properly through creo when playing the toolpath, but when it posts out it does not work.I see that the web drill sequence outputs a CYCLE/THRU in the CLDATA, and according to the GPOST literature, if your control does not have a hardware cycle for CYCLE/THRU (ours doesn't) and set it to NA, then it will force GPOST into software mode.  The issue is, it seems that GPOST even in software, deals with CYCLE/THRU differently than Creo does.Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work correctly, or possibly even have a working FIL for reference?

Hello community,I'm running a very old MELS on a VM (Win7, 32bit) for an also old version of ME10 8.7The VM runs only for the MELS and the software is getting older and older and I want to install it directly on my server (Win2012R2, 64bit)Sadly the old setup cannot run under this new OS. Has anyone an idea where I can find a MELS-setup which can run under 64bit?I searched, but found nothing... 😞 regards

Hello everyone,Does anyone know how to export a prt or drawing to dxf using VBA Excel? I got other activities such as changing dimensions and creating a drawing, but this one is having difficulty.

Need help to convert thousands of mi files to dxf.I have tried dwgdxf tool. Success rate is near 50%. This toll can only read mi 2.5-3.5. Creo parametric can import all the mi files individually and successfully export to DXF. Couldn't import by batch in CREO parametric. Can anyone suggest me a good working method? 

I have a really weird bug that maybe someone can help me with.  I have been using ProE since ProE2001, so I know the program well.  but I haven't seen this before.On sheet 1 of my drawing, the BOM table appears to be missing my second part in my assembly.  But when I click on the table cell, the data is still there.  It comes back once I right click each one, and middle click to accept.  If I change sheets and come back, second part row goes blank again.  If I print or save to PDF, the tables print empty.  Same thing happens with the drawing block on Sheet 2.  Except it's true for the entire title block.  Every single cell in the block is empty, unless I click and accept each one.    If I change sheets and come back, it goes blank again.  If I print or save to PDF, the tables print empty unless the text appears on the screen.HELP please.... anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?-Fong

Hi, I have a part file and an assembly file. I am trying to export either as a step file. I am using File, Save As Copy, but only see a limited number of available file types (pdf,tiff,png,jpeg,eps,tiff,and pic) to save as. Is there a box somewhere that I need to check to see other file types? Thanks, D 

Hello, The support of Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI / FMU) standard in Creo Parametric Mechanism would allow to communicate with other simulations software and would be an important enhancement as a part of digital continuity. Thanks Luis

I am using Creo Parametric 8.0 8.0.1.0When I make a drawing, I load a drawing format file. The tables in the drawing format have custom text styles for different character heights, spacing, etc. Now with this latest update to Creo 8, when I type in a cell in a table, the text styles automatically reset to a default, and override the custom settings in the format. Is there a way to make Creo recognize the text styles that are saved in the drawing format?

I am using Creo Simulate 7.0 7.0.0.0When entering the material properties, the default for youngs modulus is "lbm/(in sec^2). I believe this is an incorrect unit for the Young Modulus. If I change to input the units in KSI, CREO automatically converts to this "lbm/(in sec^2)" the next time the material is selected. This makes me questions the results for the simulation.

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask for help with Schematics 4.0, there does not appear to be section dedicated to Schematics and 3D part & Assembly Design seems to be the most active subcategory here. In Schematics, I found that when I go to create a new block artifact (Diagramming tab -> Catalog Explorer). In here, I have blocks selected. In the leftmost folder tree view, I have Blocks/Components/NewComponent open. Most other  folders have a partially green filled square which seems to indicate they are library symbols that cannot be edited, while ones without are custom symbols in my particular schematic. In this Block Folder; Blocks/Components/NewComponent , I right clicked the folder to add new item. In the middle section gave the component a fitting name, then right clicked on it to add shape. I added 2 shapes. I realized when creating the second symbol that the name has to be unique at the block symbol and not the sheet symbol. For instance, if I cr

Using CP4 M040.   In a part, I created a sketch and cross-hatched it.  You can change the cross-hatch scale and angle.   In a drawing, I can't control its hatch spacing or angle.  I can't pick it at all.   Goal: In a section view, I want to turn off the section's cross hatching and substitute my own.  My sketch is intentionally drawn NOT to match the true section through the solid geometry.  To get it to look right, I need to be able to adjust MY sketch's spacing and angle.   See screen shots and attached files.  "Sketch 1" is the cross-hatched sketch.  In the drawing, how do it get to have different line spacing and angle?

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) 7.0 7.0.0.0The Creo Parametric Toolkit has a function called ProMechsurfacesAncestorsGet that retrieves the Creo Parametric surfaces used to derive a Creo Simulate surface. Creo Parametric 7.0 introduced support for multiple bodies. Is there a similar toolkit function (or set of functions) that can be used to retrieve the Creo ProSolidBody that a Simulate ProMechSolid is derived from? Thank you.

Hi all, how can i get my composite control frames to look as intended? I am using Creo 7 professional. I get this in the drawing but it looks fine in the model  

I have a working kinematic model that will work fine as long as you do not immediately rotate to the opposing side.  If I start machining on B0 and go to B180, the Z travels right through the part and continues machining without rotating the B axis.  But if I go from B0 to B90 and then on to B180, it will rotate as intended.  If I go from B90 to B270, it also will go straight through the part.  My "MACH_ZERO" CSYS match each other, I can't think of anything I have done wrong on my end.  Any ideas?  Or is this just another thing that Creo offers but is broken?Also, if I start on B180 as my first machining side, then with all following rotations, the tool will go through the part.  I put together the following demonstrations.(view in My Videos)(view in My Videos)    

Hello,   Currently I am trying to run a CREO Flow Analysis for my parts and I am having trouble making boundary conditions for my inlet and outlet for the parts I have created.    When I did the Without Heat Transfer: Power Inverter Overview tutorial on CREO, I was able to do it flawlessly. Now when I do the tutorial,  I automatically get BC_1 and BC_2. When I do CREO flow simulation for my parts, I don't get the those boundary conditions at all and when I try to add them, it doesn't allow me and the error I get says "Selected surfaces don't refer to single fluid domain" even though I have created my fluid domain.    I have the two images attached to this post. Let me know what I can do to fix the problem.   Thanks, Greg          

Dose anyone know of a way to make a hollow cylindrical refinement zone? What I'm after is a zone that looks looks a tube instead of a solid bar. I currently have a cylindrical refinement zone but if I try to create another zone I get a fatal error and CFA crashes. The documentation says you can set up any number of refinement zones.

Hello all and welcome to another blog post in this multibody blog series. Todays topic: How to “position” a body.   You might wonder why I put the word position into quotes. The reason for this is that when we talk about positioning, many of us start thinking of positioning component-like objects.  The fact that components have their system of reference (e.g. coordinate system including the origin) makes it natural to understand that positioning transforms that coordinate system from one location and orientation into another. Geometric bodies do represent a volume of geometry referring to the part’s reference system, therefore the positioning of geometric bodies should probably be better called “Moving” geometry. Anyway, after this introductory thought, I hope you enjoy the video illustrating how this is done in Creo. (and you won’t be surprised: we are going to use the “Move”-Feature for this workflow 😊) (view in My Videos)      Thanks for reading. 

I'm having a use who's Creo 7.0.4.0 runs really poorly after losing VPN and license, then reconnecting.Poorly means highlighting is very slow. Has anyone else run into this issue in the past and found resolution?
