Sorry if my question is too trivial, but has anyone here used the proximity snapping to assemble a part?  I think it is a very good function, but I could not use it (I tried to change the options in File -> Option -> Assembly).   If you can use it, could you please show some screenshots or screen record? I did some research but there is almost nothing on the internet. http://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/usascii/index.html#page/assembly/asm/asm_four_sub/About_Assembling_Comps_Proximity_Snapping.html   Thank you!

Hello!   I have the problem to understand how can I do a rooting and manufacture drawing of the wiring with:   2x housing, 2 wires, 4 crimp contacts.   Even I do the rooting, I use the C-Sys of the housing parts. All is going well, but afterword's in the manufacture drawing I have the correct table with the 2 wires, and another table with the 2 housings. This is OK. But I wish to have also the 4 crimp contacts.  How can I put this parts in? The crimp contacts can be done with 100% geometry, but better is if these should be just a empty parts. Are there some ideas for this?   Thank you!  

I'm trying to easily change the line color for FOMR and HOLE(EXTRUDE) using a combination of toolkit and mapkey.As shown in the video, after collecting the form shape, the intended operation was attempted by changing the line color.(view in My Videos) However, an unexpected result appeared.If HOLE(EXTRUDE) occurs before the FORM shape, the HOLE(EXTRUDE) color is not changed.   How to make the function work smoothly...When modeling in Creo, is it best to design the FORM first and then use HOLE(EXTRUDE)? Thanks.   P.S. attach test mdl and source

There was a presentation on Intelligent Fastener Extenstion in early September.This was recorded on both the West and East Coasts. East Coast - IFX starts at minute 33 West Coast - IFX starts at minute 38 Thanks to @RyanL.Butcher and @Lino_Tozzi for presenting it.  

I've a part that I'm not able to unbend it. The forming in the bend is giving some concerns. any idea? Can you help me?  

I am modeling a circuit for oil cooled brakes to evaluate the flow throughout the system. I don't have the detail for the brakes themselves but I do have some test data for flow and dP. I would like to represent the restriction of the brakes using the Porous Surface model on an interface. How can I determine the Thickness, Permeability and the Quadratic Coefficient? I have a representation of the brakes in the model with a certain length which I think I can use as the thickness. I need to determine Permeability and Quadratic Coefficient based on my test data. Does anyone have a suggestion? I was given a spreadsheet to find the Linear and Quadratic Drag Coefficients for a resistance model that was applied to a domain. I would like something similar to that for the porous surface.

Does someone have some experiences on seting up a fan in the simulation? now we know the some Parameters of a fan,such as RPM ,P-Q curve etc.How do I load the Parameters into the software？The following pictures , that I will show the steps,First,create fluid domain(create the fan rotation domain) Second,select the soild components and the fluid components as the picture Third，select the physical model Fourth，select all the domain,and mesh location Options selected "All Volumes" the others setting as the pic Fifth，set up the parameters of a fan&boundary conditions,see the pics     Does anyone have good suggestions？Thanksａｌｏｔ！      

Hello,   I have an assembly part that I am trying to do a flow analysis for. When I hit Create the Fluid Domain, it took over a day to create. After I selected my inlet and outlet surfaces for my boundary conditions. I then added it to my simulation. When I added it to the simulation, BC_1 and BC_2 were not created. This has happened to me before, but I don't understand why.   Does any have an idea for why this happens? Does anyone know how to fix this error?   Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Also, does anyone know how to find different groups to post to? I have been having trouble with that too.   Thanks, Greg Williams

I am trying to run a flow simulation of a valve where a valve body moves in a chamber. when I gave conditions for 1d translation and ran the simulation the whole fluid domain moves ( that is the valve body moves along with the chamber as a single body). I wanted only the valve body to move within the chamber. I am not sure where I did the mistake I think it should be somewhere in assembly but not able to figure it out. I would appreciate it if somebody could help me out with this problem. thank you 

I wanted to simulate the flow characteristic in a valve when the valve body moves in a particular speed within the chamber of valve structure, but when I simulate the analysis by setting the physics for 1d translation for just the valve body the whole structure valve body and chamber moves together as a single object. I couldn't figure out where the problem is. I defined the translation dynamics only for the valve body not the chamber but still both moves together. kindly help me out with this problem. I have attached the assembly with this post kindly help me out. I have attached the screenshot of the problem I am facing.

One of our users has lost the Workspace line in his Common Folders tab. Does anyone know what he may have done to lose it and what can we do to get it back? He can still get to his files with the Home icon and then open his workspace in the browser, but using the shortcut in the Common Folders tab is faster.

Hi all,I intended to try Creo Parametric (Trial) but on startup I get only the follwoing dialog complaining about no write access to "C:\win... \system32"I really don't expect apps to fiddle in that directory but anyway, this isn't a very pleasant first experience with a trial software...I have a Win 10 Pro desktop machine which should have no problems running std software.I tried modifying the directory via the UI-dialog, but attempts to change can't be confirmed wit OK, and thus it doesn't stick, and I get this dialog everytime I strat Creo. Any hints about how to get started with Creo?// Rolf

Hello. I'm having trouble seeing the lattice structure in some imported step files. I don't know how specific I need to be, but no where do I see some indication to access the lattice structure. Please help?

I just realized I had responded to a post in 3D model, when it's likely better served here: Re: Config.sup file paths - PTC Community   So, pointing pro_format_dir to a wtpub:// folder is presenting success for some, failure for others. Success shows the User Formats in WC in the folder browser, failure shows only the System Formats in the loadpoint.   Registered server names are identical, formatted as /X-Y Company Name/Libraries/..../Formats. The option was originally in the config.sup, I've moved it to the config.pro for testing. Research shows most successes resolving this were from correcting server name spelling and case errors, but it is persisting here. Error outputs are providing no help.   Any help or experience with troubleshooting further is appreciated.

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M040Issue revolves around config.sup paths to formats and start parts. Same config.sup file is used on 2 machine. On machine #1, paths work correctly. On machine # 2 belonging to a new user with new install, paths appear to work for some items (ex. start parts) but not not others (ex. formats) It is the exact same config.sup file. Ideas or suggestions appreciated.

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 7.0.4.0Creo 2.0 External Copy Geometry features allowed us to uncheck the Dependent option and delete the component reference via Reference Viewer. The message would display the feature will be frozen. This allowed us to 'clean' the model for the PDM system functions like save-as, or open. We could bring back the link by using Edit on the ECG and checking the dependent box.Creo 7.0 ECG No dependency option permanently deletes the link with no ability to bring it back, like Creo 2.0. Is there any method in Creo 7 to replicate the Creo 2.0 functionality?      

I generated a section drawing in Creo Layout, imported from an ACad file, I just want to know, if there's a way to reflect this new Creo Layout file (.cem) into a common draing from Creo (.drw). I want file .cem to be the main file in use within my Creo Drawing

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) 7.0 7.0.2.0Hi,I want to implement a Creo Parametric Toolkit application which loads a Html page into a chromium embedded framework(cef) browser, upon loading this Html page which in turn loads a set of javascript functions. When the page is loaded fully, I will have to invoke a javascript function to provide some input for example name and path of the active model in Creo Parametric Session. I am looking for inputs on how I can create this kind of application using cef and the Creo Parametric Toolkit. Can I use something like Cef Client in C++, CEFSharp or JCEF along with Creo Parametric toolkit APIs? It will be great if you could provide this information with an example.Where can I find more information about WebLink, could you provide some information?Regards,Sampath Rallapalli

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M190Fixture disappears after being applied to manufacturing assembly model.Here are the errors that I faced No errors or messages. Fixture simply does not show in the assembly after placing. This apparently has been an issue since prior to Creo 1.0. What is the cause of this and how can I work around it?

Hello Community,   I am a fairly new user to Creo parametric and its application interface. I am trying to code a new menu tab inside of creo parametric 7.0. I would like to connect an external application to this menu tab so that information from the mentioned external application is accesible within creo parametric 7.0 via this menu tab.    I have been looking for solutions and searching around in the forums and documentation websites and i came across stuffs like Jlink, PTC toolkit java and C++ and some other similar stuffs but i have little idea about how they work as i have limited knowledge in coding and IT stuffs. Hence i have been spinning around in circles for the past few weeks.   I would be really grateful if someone can give me some hints or at least point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to install the latest version of Creo.  Something happened where things hung on my initial install and now when I try to run the setup app, it gives me the exact same error as is discussed in https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS323172 This article directs me to kill setup.exe, but I don't see that anywhere in my task manager. I've tried restarting my computer, and the issue persists. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to get past this?  Is there some sort of bread crumb or other setting that I need to clear?   Thank you.

Hi All,   I am a CREO instructor and I give my students regular tasks, but I suspect of them copying so I used the File History option, but Im not sure if that is conclusive. Anyone got any other indication that someone is copying?   Thanks. 

Hi All,   Is there a thread where I can find a list of different system colors that I can download? Looking for an easy way to grab .scl files with already made color configs.   Thanks in advance!
