Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi, Currently I am exploring the Smart assembly in the creo for the automation purpose but I facing one hurdle, I am not able to set the working directory (for the part of Creo) .   It would be great if somebody helps me out in these. Below is my snap of the code which I have wrote to do this things.   Regards,    

We were recently asked to render our system on a factory floor, one of the other teams in the company had a template part file of a fake factory floor, but its a part, not a scene or environment   Because of this when I try to render it, the ceiling and walls on the factory shade everything inside and its a very noisy render   I tried to apply emissive appearances to the ceiling lights, and it helps, but still very noisy   Any ideas how to get render studio lights inside a part model?   For now, Im going to blow out the ceiling tiles and make my environment an offwhite so it looks like the tiles are still there and have a few distant lights above and see how that works   Thanks!

Hi,   We try to program the way the sheet metal cut dimensions are calculated.This method does not use the Y-factor.We have an Excel table for elongation length per bend (Ex. 2.5mm/bend) by material and thickness. The user calculates the dimensions of the wall, flat, and flange of the sheet metal model as shown.In this case, it would be 90x40.Then, after checking the elongation length from the thickness of each material, it is multiplied by the number of bendings.(2.5 * 1 bends in this case)Subtracts the result from the corresponding size.The cut dimensions are then calculated as 87.5x40.   In this process, the number of bends through the axis could be calculated.However, there is a problem in getting the size of each wall and flat/flange.   After checking the flat/flange through Feature Visit, visit DIMENSION.In the case of a wall, the width, length, and thickness are obtained.In the case of flat/flange, it is difficult to check which is the horizontal and vertical dim

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M140How do I differentiate between a dimension that gets created when geometry is modeled and one that is placed as an annotation in 3d model. I am collecting dimensions with pfcModelItemOwner->ListItems(pfcModelItemType::pfcITEM_DIMENSION). My goal is to collect all dimensions, find the ones that have been created as an annotation and then see if any have been removed from a combined state.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 5.0 (connected) 5.0 5.0.1.0How to give control back to creo parametric, when using API ProWindowCurrentClose, I referred to article CS210868, Which Macro should I load for this particular API to work.

I've been using Creo at work for about 2 years now. I've never really understood the purpose of the working directory. I have never changed changed the working directory. I have it set to a random folder in my documents.    My coworker recently said that he was told to always set the working directory the the folder your files are in. Is this what I should do? Why? 

Is this type of attachment possible in PTC Creo? If yes kindly mention the procedure.    

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M120I would like to export the CAD assembly which can retain the original colors and make them an interactive model outside of Creo. What format do I need to save assembly?

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 M110I have an issue with an assembly and the corresponding drawing. Every time that I open up the drawing and/or the assembly model, two of the components (one is a part, the other is a subassembly) are hidden in the assembly. I can unhide both of these components without difficulty, either directly in the assembly model or in the drawing by going to the model tree and selecting unhide in model. After unhiding these components I save the drawing and the assembly model (we use ECTR as our PDM system). Unfortunately, when I open the drawing and/or model again, the same two components show up as hidden again. I've tried more times than I can count to fix this problem and we've investigated everything we can think of, to no avail.Any help would be appreciated!

I have parts and assemblies that were created without using our templates. There are about 5-10 parameters I need to add to these parts and assemblies.   I know that I can add them by just adding the parameters column to the model tree of the assembly. This does work, but is a bit of a pain because you have to tell it what kind of parameter it is for each part as you add each parameter.   I had mapkeys that would call open a config file set new_parameter_ui and New_relation_ui to no and then add the parameters. These mapkeys don't appear to work anymore (I thought I had fixed them for Creo 2, but that may have been for Wildfire 5.). Before I try to fix them, I was wondering if anyone is still using this method in Creo 3?   Or, is there a better method now that we are in Creo 3? Thanks,Carrie    

Hello,   I am new to Creo parametric. As of now, everytime I open a new Creo Parametric session, I have to explicitly register my standalone jlink application through Auxiliary Applications option under Tools menu. Is there a way to permanently register my application on Creo parametric so that I don't have to do that for every new creo session?   Thanks, Apoorva

I've created the part below by creating a planar and then adding a flange loop. As you can see in the second image, I've added a corner gap. However, the outer edge, circled red, has overlapping edges. How do I avoid this?

I am using Creo Parametric 6.0 6.0.5.1I just scaled a part. There is no Scale feature in the model tree. How am I or anyone suppose to know that a scaling took place? Where is this change recorded or documented? How can this change be undone in the future?

Hi, I am new to creo parametric. I need to bring the family table data in creo parametric to Thingworx foundation. Is it possible? If so how to do it?    Thanks in advance.

When trying to replace components in an Assembly using the API, if running ExecuteFeatureOps() is deprecated, what is the new method of replacing components? The example projects only show using ExecuteFeatureOps().

Hello Sirs: For the 2nd argument(ProUIDialogStyle) of  ProUIDialogDialogstyleSet(), there are 7 kinds of option for setting. I tried it with Article - CS276513, but didn't see obvious difference, would like to ask does any Sir has this function usage experience and please give me some instruction or suggestion. Thanks a lot.

Sometime between 7.0 and 4.0 Creo think tank decided to destroy our most useful sequence.  Surface Milling.  What was done for so long in Surface Milling now has to be done in Conventional Milling.  One can open an older project with surface milling in it, and it works fine.  Make a change to that sequence, such as an added or removed surface, and it "updates" to the new version of surface milling which appears to be useless.  This forces us to make a new conventional milling sequence.   Surface selection in conventional milling is unbelievably inefficient.  No more are the days of dragging a box around a group of surfaces to collect.  The tech support seems to push the Seed and Boundary method of collection.  This works OK for simple pockets with a flat plane at the top boundary.  If what you are milling has a varying top surface, it just doesn't work.  We have tons of projects that capture geometry via Mill Volumes.  To sele

Hi,I've got a huge problem with solidify operation in Creo Parametric 7.0. In general I have the solid body (usual rectangle made by Extrude) on which there's a varius-shaped surface that was created by copying geometry from the STEP file. When I'm trying to trim protruding parts of extrude by solidifying (with remove material option enabled) I've got the following error Please note that the green vertexes are not joined and there's a little bit place between them (the picture above has been zommed in much enough inside Creo in order to show this situation). These vertexes make my part unable to solidify which is visible in the picture. I tried to fix the STEP in Data Doctor. The Geometry Check option (in import DataDoctor tab) doesn't show any bad stuff on and in proximity of my copied surface. Therefore I've no idea why cannot perform the operation. Do you have any suggestions? Of course I'll provide more information about this problem if necessary.Thanks in advance for all replies!&

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 4.0 (connected) 4.0 M130How to configure Creo 4 ModelCHECK to report layers from a list of obsolete layer names as warning, but not delete them (Model_Update must remain NO; user to manually delete per discretion).How to configure Creo 4 ModelCHECK to report layers that are empty and non-rule based.(Don't know what "Connected System" means, so I just picked the first one in the list.)

I am using Creo Parametric 6.0 6.0.5.1I just saved an stl of a part. Now my part has blue lines all over it indicating the tessellation that was created during the stl save. How do I remove these lines and where in Creo Parametric does it indicate that these blue lines are visible? If someone else were to look at this model, how would they know why these lines are present, what they are, and how to remove them? This is a question about the user interface. How is this change in model appearance being communicated to me by Creo Parametric? I see nothing new in the model tree.

We have a Sheetmetal part that exist in a family table where a specific instance in that family table has a Circular reference to SMT_DFT_EDGE_TREA_WIDTH relation. Does anyone know how to break this reference. Windchill is giving me a server warning that is tied to this reference. The reference does not occur in the Generic or any other instance in family table.
