Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello! I have a problem with the edges in shaded modus. Circle is not round any more. I have tested: edge_display_quality very_high  edge tess quality also the preferences  the shade quality Nothing changes. Dou you have some advices for me?   Thank you!  

I'm trying to place a 120° angle dimension in sketcher, but Creo 6.0 will only place the dimension as the oppostie 240° angle. Is there  any way to force the orientation of an angle dimension? I've tried change the order of my line selection and the placement of the dimension with the middle click, but it always places the same dimension. Why does Creo always default to the largest possible value of any angle dimension?  

Hi, I'm Fabio and I'm using Creo 7. I have a question about line thickness in Sketch mode. For example when I create a new part and select the sketch mode I notice that when I hover the mouse over the center line, the line changes color to green and the thickness increases a lot or when I draw a circle, for example, and I confirm the size, the circular line turns green and the thickness increases considerably. Is it possible to change the thickness of this green line? I have already changed the SKETCHER_LINE_WIDTH parameter in config.pro but it's not that. I noticed that in Creo 6 this green line is thin and not thick like in Creo 7. Thanks for any help. bye Fabio    

Hello everyone,I recently switched from Creo 2.0 to Creo 8.0, the transition was not painless ...Visually I find it very annoying that in Creo 8.0 the highlighted sketch lines increase in thickness.Can you suggest a way to prevent them from becoming thicker?I tried to look in the config but I found only the "sketch_thick_dim_line_highlight" option which normalizes the thickness of the dimensions and the "sketcher_line_width" option set to 1 to normalize the thickness of the geometries.I expected to find an option also for the thickness of the sketch lines highlighting but I didn't find it ... My eyes will forever be grateful to anyone who wants to help me!P.S. I'm using Creo 8.0.0.0

I'm guessing you can do what I'm about to ask, but I just can't get it to work.   I want to automatically show the cross hatch defined in the material definition in a section view on a drawing. I would think this should be pretty simple to do.   I define the cross hatch for the material by entering the name of the cross hatch under Misc./Detailing/Cross Hatch of the material definition. See .PNG below. I want to use a Hatch PAT not a Hatch XCH.   However, when I create the section view in a drawing the hatching that is displayed is the random hatching that Creo assigns to it.   What I'm I not doing? Any help would be great.   Thanks, Steve  

Hello, I have a project that involves the need to find the porosity values of two different lattice structures (1 randomized, 1 patterned). I've had no luck finding these values from the software. Is there a way to obtain these values from a stochastic and uniform square lattice structure without having the need to calculate the porosity?     

Hello everyone , I wanted to know is if the extension to interface externally with creo through script in VB (the so-called API) are included in the basic license or if they are license extensions?In the second case, what license are we talking about?   ty Matteo

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 4.0 (connected) 4.0 M040Impossible de lancer le 'Pro_build_library_ctg.exe"Here are the errors that I faced Voici le message d'erreur :"impossible d'exécuter le code, car MSVCP110.dll est introuvable."

Hello,I've just download and installed the last release of Creo 8 (8.0.1.0) but I can't use Creo Simulate because of this error"Unable to get required Creo Simulate license. Please contact your sales rapresentative"Before installing Creo 8, I used the last version of Creo 7 and Simulate ran correctly.I see in the license txt file that the two list items (#MECELITEENG_License, #MECELITEUI_License) are at least for Creo 7, while Creo SImulate and Creo ANSYS are for the 8. How is it possible?How can I use Creo Simulate inside Creo 8?   Thank youBye

Hi Everyone, How do I create a diameter dimension using the free VB API (I'm using C#)? Additionally, the selection must be programmatic. I'm selecting an edge entity, using empty dimension senses, and no orientation hint. I know everything aside from orientation is working because it successfully creates a radius dimension (instead of diameter). See code snippet below.Feels like I'm just missing something basic - any and all help greatly appreciated!Thank you,-Ben     IpfcView2D view = dwgModel2D.GetViewByName(viewName); IpfcModel viewModel = view.GetModel(); IpfcModelItemOwner modelItemOwner = (IpfcModelItemOwner)viewModel; IpfcModelItem entity1 = modelItemOwner.GetItemById((int)entityType1, entityID1); CpfcSelections sels = new CpfcSelections(); IpfcSelection sel1 = new CMpfcSelect().CreateModelItemSelection(entity1, null); sel1.set_SelView2D(view); sels.Set(0, sel1); CpfcDimensionSenses senses = new CpfcDimensionSenses(); senses.Set(0, sense1); senses.Set(1, sense2);

As part of our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there is a session about "Take your automation to the next level with Virtual Master Model" with our partner SIGMAXIM.    Keeping rules and logic in Creo has its benefits. But, it also has its drawbacks. Most of us have tried Family Tables Pro/Programs Relations Over loaded assemblies   The Virtual Master Model (VMM) concept gives users the advantage of retaining the information and rules saved in the master model concept without the disadvantage of lugging it around in Creo and Windchill environments. How did VMM make it better? By creating a rules engine and linking it outside Creo. Imagine being able to quickly change and update models without having to dig through code or other logic. Everything users do is based on rules and logic which cascades into other decisions and results. VMM offers the flexibility to keep the resulting Creo data a concise model set without the burden of unnecessary data. ETO can now be include

Hello. I wrote a program to run Creo 5.0.2.0, open a CAD file in Creo 5.0.2.0 and explore this CAD file with Pro/TOOLKIT (C++) functions. In my program, when I read a geometric tolerance gTol, I have this portion of code :   if (ProAnnotationElementGet(&gTol, &AnnotationElement) == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR){ProAnnotationReference* pAnnotationReferences(nullptr); if (ProAnnotationelemReferencesCollect(&AnnotationElement, PRO_ANNOTATION_REF_ALL, PRO_ANNOT_REF_FROM_ALL, &pAnnotationReferences) == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR){if (pAnnotationReferences[0].type == PRO_ANNOT_REF_SINGLE){ProType Type(PRO_TYPE_UNUSED);ProSelection Selection(nullptr); if (ProReferenceTypeGet(pAnnotationReferences[0].object.reference, &Type) == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR &&ProReferenceToSelection(pAnnotationReferences[0].object.reference, &Selection) == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR){switch (Type){case PRO_SURFACE: gTolRefType = PROGTOLRTYPE_SURF; break;case PRO_EDGE: gTolRefType = PROGTOLRTYPE_EDGE; break;}gTolReference

During our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there are two sessions about " I spy with my little eye" which deal with the visibility of elements in Creo Parametric.    In the first part of this two-part webinar we analyze the different tools and methods that Creo Parametric offers to make items visible or invisible in the graphics area. The organizational layer ‚Body‘, that came out with Creo 7 also impacts the visibility of items. The webinar especially focuses on: Visibility basics of objects and items in Creo Levels of visibility Differences in assemblies, parts and drawings Functionality to drive visibility Layers and layer states Combined states Simplified representations Style states In the second part of this webinar we will discuss some practical examples of the visibility topic and show the related tools and methods. Finally we will show how SMARTUpdate can help to implement and handle the techniques to drive visibility. Have a look at the recordings now:  Pa

Hello forum,   I got an assembly here in the form of one *.asm and several *.prt files in one folder. I can view the assembly in Creo View. However, it seems that I cannot modify or create annotation sets. Also, it does not seem to be possible to export the assembly as *.PVZ from Creo View (to then create annotation sets in the PVZ file).   Or is there any other way to create and save annotation sets here?

Hello,   a tiny blog entry for setting up color definitions for bores and holes in EMX. It is quite simple.   Go to the EMX Options -> Technology Tab   You will find 3 columns: Hole Color, Face Color, 2nd Hole Color In the rows different cutout UDFs are listed. In this example I have chosen 2 different UDFS that are used to create holes for guide components guide_thread_bore and guide_thru_thread (1.) and one for the cut out of Locating ing slots locating_round_slot (2.)   Double click within a cell and a color dialog will open. For the guide UDFs if have choosen a RED color For the Locating UDFs if have chosen a GREEN color. With this setup every time guide_thread_bore and guide_thru_thread are used, these cutouts will be colored RED. Every time I use locating_round_slot these cutouts will be colored GREEN.   This is how it looks like within a mold base:     Thanks,   Thomas

I have a 3-axis Sherline cnc mill to which I've recently added a cnc rotary table.  I want to cut vertical cylindrical holes by positioning the work-piece using the X and Y axis and power rotating the table to cut the cylinders.  I I have to add the 4th axis stepper driver to my self-built controller, and teach myself how to do this; time, lots of time, but I have it. I can add the stuff the post needs for the 4th axis with Gpost. Question is simple. Is this possible?     john ferguson

Hello,In Creo 4.0 M100, when i verify a family table it is success despite the fact that some components have disappeared due there parents been suppressed in the table.    I only spot the lack of components by chance, the verify function did not warn me. And they do not show as suppressed when viewing the instance, they just disappear. How can i fix Creo so in this example the verify will show "failed" or warn me in some other way?Thank you

Hello everyone,   I was wondering if any of you are using a notebook with the new i7-1165G7 and the Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96UES) and if it works with Creo 8.0 I know PTC doesn't have it in their offical support list, but my past PCs also all worked fine, despite not being "officially" supported.     Help would be much appreciated
