Creo+ and Creo Parametric

HI Folks... I have been successful in getting a line of text from a note... but have failed miserably trying to change that note text to something else.  Could I get some help for the next lines of code?  I need to Set detText to a new string.   Set detItemOwner = drawing'this sets the note object to the particular type and id - IpfcDetailNoteItemSet note = detItemOwner.GetDetailItem(1, 463)'this sets the object to contain the note instructions/settingsSet noteInst = note.GetInstructions(False)'this sets the object to the textlines - IpfcDetailTextLinesSet dettextLines = noteInst.textLines'Setting the variable to the count to show in xl as proof we have the right notelineCount = dettextLines.Count'print to xlRange("B3") = lineCount'Setting the object to the text of index 1 (line 2) - IpfcDetailTextsSet dettexts = dettextLines.item(1).texts'setting object to the text item 0... know idea why there is an index there - IpfcDetailTextSet detText = dettexts(0)'set a variable t

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M090I am getting issue with toolkit, in some instance assembly central line with part central line is matching and result is showing gap in assembly. Can you guide us how to do that.

I was wondering why Creo thermal simulate can’t set a temperature as “heat load” and it only allows to set watt or power. The temperature differences calculations are commonly seen in lots of industrial applications.

I have one drawing where the PDF does not represent what is in Creo.  For some reason it is shifting only the right side of the border format to the left.  None of our other drawings do this or if I create a new drawing with the same assembly does it do this.  If I copy the drawing to a new one, it carries over.  Here are a couple of screenshots, one of the PDF and one of the Creo drawing.  Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi folks, I have created for you: REPEATABLE MAPKEY GENERATOR  By default, the program generates the Repeatable Mapkey code from the list.The Repeatable Mapkey Generator uses the existing Mapkey "4k". The Mapkey "4k" is user-defined and is repeated on every object from the list. Please do not forget to set the Close window at the end of your user-defined Mapkey, because Creo is limited that only 15 active windows are allowed to use. How it works:

We recently upgraded from 4.0 to 7.0 and now when a user has Parametric open and navigates using the file browser tab, files will not open. It does nothing.  If they use File > open> (xxx.prt / xxx.drw) or even the Open button, it works just fine. Opening the file directly from the network location it is stored at successfully open Parametric and then the file, or load to an already opened running program of Parametric. Also to note, this happens in Layout as well.

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 7.0.2.0I am unable to use "edit definition" on notes both in my drawing and my model. I can only edit the note when it's physically placed in the model and I have to manually type everything in a text box rather than using the standardized note files my organization provides. There is a small clock icon that appears next to the affected notes.

Dear PTC Community,   I have been searching the web and support pages of Creo and I am not able to find any information on the simulation based density in the lattice tool. Having "simulation" selected in the "density" dialog box of the lattice tool, I am able to choose between three data files to open as a reference - a Creo Simulation Study Folder, Creo Simulate Live Data (.csv) and a density variation based on Tabstopps (.txt). Does anyone know:   1. Which files are taken as a reference in the Simulation Study Folder? File endings would be useful. 2. How the 3rd (and for me most interesting) file type (.txt) looks like? How does it need to be structured? Are there any examples?   The only information I could find is on this page: http://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/usascii/index.html#page/part_modeling%2Fpart_modeling%2Fpart_nine_sub%2FAbout_Lattice_with_Varied_Density.html%23 Simulation based density is not even mentioned...   All the best and thanks in ad

Hello,   Hovering over the column separators inside of the Creo model tree creates a context-sensitive dragger, allowing the user to resize the column:     Does anyone know how to enlarge this area so it isn't so frustrating to click?  On a high resolution monitor, clicking an area the size of one pixel can be difficult.   Thanks,Luke  

Hi, I made a Skeleton family table  I Need to replace a skeleton with an other instance. REPLACE_COMPONENT works with Part but this not Works with Skeleton   Do you have an idea to made this?   Thank's 

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 7.0.3.0Hello, I have a assembly file that has two exploded states, the main and the motor. Each state has its own offset lines. I placed two views in a drawing for both states. The offset lines only appear on the drawing for the whatever view in the assembly is currently exploded. For example, if the main view is exploded in the assembly, the offset lines for that view in the drawing are visible but not the motor view. If the motor view is exploded in the assembly, the offset lines for that view in the drawing are visible but not the main view. See attached PDF.Why is this?I've used this software since 1995, I've done this before but since we moved to release 7.0 I can't.Is there a config option to set?Very frustrated.Tom

Hi,   I'm not a Creo user but I need to optimize a PKG file made with CoCreate with other 3D software like 3DMax.   The thing is the file has millions of polygons which makes it impossible to work with. We don't mind removing objects we don't in a marketing video, which is our purpose.    Any advice on where can we hire someone to help us with this or what can we do? Feel free to contact me at avi@thecowboy.co.il if you are available, we would like to solve this urgently.   Thanks, Avi

Hello everyone, i would like to know if its possible to save automatically drawing when save model. thanks

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 5.0 (connected) 5.0 5.0.2.0Hello PTC,While trying to follow CS275037 to swap an instance row to another position in the family table, I get the following error message:"Invalid name or format found in instance TK06-00873_H700S-2C3B-950L-MSB."Even if I try to load the exported .ptd file straight into the family table again (without modifications), I get this error message too.The family table, without importing/exporting anything works, but I need the instances in another order for my drawing.Hopefully you can help me with this issue?Here are the errors that I faced"Invalid name or format found in instance TK06-00873_H700S-2C3B-950L-MSB."

Hello, I explain my problem to you:I need to make a 1: 1 scale plan template, the problem is that when my parts are too big, when I use my plan template, all my plans overlap (I don't know where is the left or right view) and I have to replace them by handSo I wanted to know if it was possible to be able to give a distance between the GABARIT_VUE?   I give you captures of what I imagine   (in the creation of the template plan)   (what it would look like with a piece)   Thank you so much Maxence

Hi everyone,  Creo parametric - Release 7.0.2.0 crashes prematurely if config option "sketcher_diagonal_constr yes" is set and when you use the "Replace" function in the sketcher. To reproduce this issue do the following:   Open Creo parametric - Release 7.0.2.0 without any configurations but only with opiton "sketcher_diagonal_constr yes". All other options are now default! Create a new part without standard part. Use option "Empty" to create that part. In new part create standard datum planes and create first geometry using protrusion on one of the standard datum planes Sketch a rectangle and leave Sketch, finish this feature Enter the sketch of this feature again using "Redefine" and draw an arc/spline/additional lines with the intention to use the "Replace" function from up popping Mini Menue in the sketcher. While sketching watch the snapping functionality trying/offering where to snap showing this with appearing/disappearing dotted lines. Select an existing, old l

Hi Guys,   We are using Creo 7.0.2.0   When I get these little info boxes, and I check off "in the future dont show this message"       How can i save this so all the other users dont see these messages? Is this saved in the ribbon file?   We have about 30 seats of creo, and we all currently pull our files from the same central place on the network.   This makes it easier for me to update menu ribbons, mapkeys, etc etc.    But these pop up info boxes are annoying everyone. LOL.    Is there maybe even a place to just turn off ALL these info boxes all at once?   Thanks, Jay

Hello,   is there a way to set an imported attribute from a CATPART for example as designated?   imagine I have "MATERIAL" parameter in my third part CAD model. I import it and convert to a PRT file, and I really would like that this MATERIAL attribute comes designated to be able to check in directly in Windchill!  

Hello.   I have created a hole table with a maximum row of 35. So i get 3 segment that I put on my draw. Unfortunatly, I have to update it with some new hole and ... here start the hell !   My last segment grow up instead of stoping at 105 and created a new segment.   How do you do to have this new segment ? I mean, in an another way to suppress all my table and created a new one    

I am using Creo Parametric 5.0 5.0.5.0Electrical parameters, specifically "REF_DES", in cabling connector models do not export with .JT file for use in 3rd party application such as JT2Go.

Hello, I am using Creo Parametric 3.0 M150 and having some difficulty with a hidden part.I have a main assembly where a component in a sub assembly is hidden and I can not find a way to show it. The part is visible when the sub assembly is open. It is not on a layer, it is not hidden, there is no simplified rep substitution hiding it, the master rep is active, there is no family table, the appearance is something I can see. I am at a loss as to why this part is hidden. I have obviously missed a trick somewhere. The user who did this is no longer with the company. I am wondering if there is a tool not on the toolbar he used. I found he never used simplified reps and always chose to hide the component in the drawing.

This part that I'm working on it's looking like this:  But I don't want that sharped edge, so I tried to round it using "chain", to make it look like this: But CREO does not accept this format. This message appears: Is there any way I can make that round, without wrapping the entire line, just that edge?
