Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I'm wondering if it's possible to replace the quantity in a repeat region BOM balloon by 'AR' text or by the rpt.rel.qty value, like Chris3 mentions in a post in this thread: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Bom-Split-Balloon-Issue/td-p/56506 I've made a custom balloon and try to use the alt balloon symbol command but Creo says the symbol must contain quantities. I'm using Creo 4.

Hi everybody,I am using the VB.NET API for gathering informations about the current model. Especially the Creo parameters (see picture below).You can get the parameters byIpfcParameterOwner owner = (IpfcParameterOwner)currentModel;foreach (IpfcParameter param in owner.ListParams())...So I can gather the values (e.g. "A.1") but I couldn´t get the parameter name (e.g. "PTC_WM_VERSION"). In the PDF-help they say, that the name can be retrieved by the IpfcModelItem. But how to come from IpfcParameter to IpfcModelItem (typecast is not possible).Any suggestions how to get the needed information?Best regards,BenjaminNachricht geändert durch Benjamin Schmidt

Hello everyone,I would like to ask if it is possible to have general sketch for all sweeps in model.It will be great if sweep sections will be depended by main sketch. Any modification in main sketch will affect section geometry in all sweeps.Till now I was using parameters for specific dimensions, but it is making model more complex.   Thank you in advance for answers.

I am working with the java object toolkit API for Creo 7 and I am running into this issue where when I attempt to regenerate an assembly it fails and throws XToolkitGeneralError. I can regenerate the same model that throws this error using Creo so I do not believe it to be an issue with the Creo model. I am wondering why it is throwing that exception. Any insight to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, we are using Creo with windchill. For this reason, I want to prevent users from exporting data from creo. I want to remove all export options and save as option. How can I do that. Thanks in advance for all the help    

How can you control whether an annotation dimension disappears when cross-sectioning?   I have a model where the cross-section was created on a plane called SKETCH (offset of 0), and I added 3D annotations to the same plane.  Half of them disappear when I cross-section and half of them stay.  If I reverse the direction of the cross-section then the other half of the 3d Dims disappear.  The annotation plane was also defined to be on the SKETCH plane.   How can I control this behavior so I control whether these dims are shown in the x-section view?

Recently I've created a parameter set for selecting a material from a drop down.  This list drives relations used for grabbing dimensions for an auto-bom table.  I'm having trouble importing this list via .txt file, and I'm wondering if there needs to be a specific syntax for the strings int he .txt file?  This list is pretty simple: "1X4" "2X4" "2'' FOAM" etc.   I have been using a mapkey that creates the parameter, and then adds each material, line by line.  As you can imagine, this is pretty tedious to update..    When I try to go into the parameter and right click in the list window, select import, and select the .txt file, nothing happens.  Any thoughts?

Hello Everyone,   I have to make utility to generate bill of material for an assembly , For this what steps I have to follow to automate the BOM.  

Everytime I borrow a license and the time period expires, I get the standard note that it has been detected and deleted.   The issues is, I cannot clear this message.  I can tell the 'OK' button is active becuase is flashes when clicked.  but nothing happens.  The only way I have found to continue is to kill Creo from the Task Manager.   The next launch runs perfectly.  Has anyone experienced/solved this? Creo 2.0   M160 Thanks,

Hi   this is the online Creo 7.0 help link on how To Create an Auxiliary NC Sequence:   https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r7.0/usascii/index.html#page/manufacturing%2Fnc%2Fto_create_an_auxiliary_nc_sequence.html%23wwconnect_header   But I can't find it in Creo 7.0 . In Creo  6.0 it's the same. I have the Creo 2.0 installed and there I can find it.   Any idea how To Create an Auxiliary NC Sequence with Creo 7.0 ?   Thanks    

Hi everyone!   I use drawings with multiple sheets. On the first sheet is the assembly, on the second sheet is first part of the assembly, then the second part .....  I want to list the name of the assembly on every drawing sheets. So I would like to give the name of the assembly only once and then it appears on every sheet of the drawing.  What is the easiest way for this?   Thank's for the help!P.S.: Sory for the bad english

Hi all I want to put an expression in dimension text,   for example, most of the time I have threaded holes with depth being twice the nominal thread. (M3 => depth 6, M4 => depth 8). I want to make something like M<X> depth 2*<X>  (where X is the nominal thread, and the expression 2*<X> is automatically evaluated and then appears in the dimension text).   if we only need a dimension value, we can simply use &d#, but here I need a result from an expression with that dimension value. Is there any method to do that?   Thank you in advance!

This lever is currently straight, but I want to bend it so it resembles the right sideview.

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M140I am trying to read and apply parameters on an annotation, specifically a driven dimension in a 3d model (PRO_DIMENSION or pfcITEM_DIMENSION). When I create a parameter on the modelitem, the parameter gets applied to the .prt that owns the dimension. How do I set a parameter on the actual dimension? What modelitem associated with the dimension owns the parameters? I can access these parameters manually by selecting parameters in the right click menu of the dimension so there must be a way of doing this programmatically.

Welcome to another multibody blog video in which I want to shed some light on body selection and when to reference body surfaces versus bodies as objects.The video covers:   Body Selection Model tree Selection filter Query-Select & Pick from list Select quilt or body Select from parents Autolocate & Selection Priority in Creo 7.0 & Creo 8.0 Design Items tree   Surface Selections RMB: surfaces of all bodies RMB: body surfaces Surface collection – Details dialog Geometry Search   Differences Copy-Geom Pattern FMX Move (view in My Videos)   Thanks for reading. I hope it was informative.   Back to Creo 7.0 & 8.0 Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin

Hello,   I exported an .ibl-file for a turbine blade from CFturbo. The file is created and I can see it in the explorer, but I cannot import in Creo. The file is not shown in the import window of Creo. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello to all,i am using creo 8 and i noticed that, compared to previous versions, the dimensions in 3D sketch are much smaller.Where can I set the size from? (see attached images between creo 8 and creo 7)   ty, Matteo.

I am using Creo Parametric 2.0 M250EDIT: I had forgot to mention that this was occurring only during and RDP session, all of your input is valuable, using the integrated graphics chip does work much better during RDP, i just disable the NVIDIA graphic adaptor in the device manager during RDP sessions. this is a viable workaround until I find the root cause. It does the same behaviours for Creo 7 so now at least I can open a ticket. ORIGINAL Message:Creo 2.0 M250 will not launch on a new Windows 10 PC but works fine on other Win 10 PCs. Creo will launch if I add the win32GDI switch to the launch shortcut.8 users have been using this configuration of Creo 2 for years on win 10 but with new PCs it will not start. xtop.exe is not running, it is as if the shortcut is not pointing to the parametric.exe but when win32GDI is added it works.My workaround is not viable during this work from home period as the Win32GDI graphics are impossibly slow.The workstations have Intel CPU, 32 GB RAM and a

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) 7.0 7.0.4.0Regarding Creo ModelCHECK check with options:- config_init: MC_MBD_IGNORE_DRIVING_DIMS N- checks: ANNTN_MISSING_SURF_REF EResult: All driven dimensions with missing reference surfaces are listed, even dimensions that are not shown in the model and are not PMI.Problem: Dimensions that are needed for modeling the model but are not shown must not be listed. It is impossible and pointless to assign reference surfaces to all dimensions existing in the model.Question: Can ModelCHECK be configured to list only driven dimensions that are shown in the model?Remark: Which annotations are not shown is known by the following option: ANNTN_NOT_ON_COMB_STATE YPicture and test model are attached to the case.

Hi Everyone,   Have a hole which I want to make a pattern from (with angle as variable) I want to use pattern table to do the pattern because I want custom entries I can do that with no issue, but I want to make Creo get the data from an external excel file rather than internal protab. That way my boss can easily do part updates just by updating the excel file. Say I want to create 5 holes at 0, 10, 15, 90, 270 degrees as an example. Is that possible?   Thank you for your help.   Sandy
