Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Designed a motor base with a spinning shaft using a cylinder mate. In this assembly the shaft spins and the body doesn't . No issue. When I add this motor assembly to another assembly the shaft is now locked and the body of the motor spins. Issue. Any ideas on this one?

Hello everyone,   I'm having a problem.   I have an assembly where I have put a few guide pillars. The first one by constraint to an axis system, and the following by pattern.   Now I want to create the hole for the clamps of the guide pillar. The first clamp was also constrained for position, and the followings, where patterned as well.     Now, for create the hole in the plate, to fix the clamp, I made a reference, to first clamp, of the first guide pillar   Now when I create the reference pattern, only the pattern of the guide pillars is made.     The pattern of the clamps isn't created...   So my question is, how to create the holes of all clamps, without creating one by one. And keeping in mind that later on the design i might change the number of clamps, from 2 to 4 for example. And the pattern be recognized and properly updated.   Any idea? what I'm missing.      

Hello Everyone,   I have a very large assembly where I am showing Harnesses to installed. Very busy assembly. The typical method of showing an installation drawing for piping or cabling is to show the Harness as dark solid lines and the rest of the assembly as light phantom lines.  The phantom lines are phantomfont and color secondary highlight. The only way we have figured out to have the phantom lines to show up in the PDF and print as light grey is to snapshot the view as draft entities. The draft entities show up as light grey.  I do not like the idea of non-parametric views. It's also a long process someone has developed. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Hello everyone, I need help. If I set "min_baloon_radius" to 0 and "max_baloon_radius" to 0 i get the automatic bubble sizing on the text,but this only works on the system default "simple" bubble, it doesn't work for custom bubbles. So can you tell me how I can get a custom bubble that changes its size dynamically in reference to the textcontained? Thank you and good day.P.S. I use Creo 2.0 and Creo 8.0.  

I am using Creo Parametric 2.0 M250ねじのアセンブリの簡素化のために、インターフェイスフィーチャを用いておりますが、アセンブリ時のデータ読み込みに非常に時間がかかります。（１つのねじモデルの読み込みに数分。悪い時には数十分）インターフェイスフィーチャを削除もしくは抑制すると、スムーズに読み込まれます。また、アセンブリ先のモデルが大規模になればなるほど顕著にこの傾向がみられるように思います。本現象を回避する方法があればご教示願います。Here are the errors that I faced 時間がかかるだけなので、エラーは表示されておりません。

I have recently set open_simplified_rep_by_default yes to allow selection of representation when opening assemblies. It seems odd that there is no similar config option to enable this functionality for parts. It's not great that they always open in Master rep Has anyone come across a fix for this? Alternatively, how do I submit an enhancement request? Cheers

Creo 4 M070   Is it possible to get the name of the assembly of the component inside the recursive bom region table in a drawing?   I ask this for an idea to manage recursive tables: if the assembly name contains the main assembly name, show it in the table, if not, filter it out. This way, if I add an subassembly containing the name of the main assembly, this will be shown as recursive, else as flat. I know that this can be done manually, but I want to prevent human errors.   For example: Assembly "Assy1.asm" contains "Assy1_1.asm" and "Assy2.asm" Assembly "Assy1_1.asm" contains "Part1.prt" and "Part2.prt" Assembly "Assy2.asm" contains "Part3.prt" and "Part4.prt" => in the table : Part1.prt, Part2.prt and Assy2.asm  

Hi Guys,   Is it possible to make certain settings within a button default?   For example. Solidify. I want this to always default to Remove material when i click on it. Is this possible.   There are many other buttons that i would like to set certain options as a default too.      I know i could make a map key, but was wondering if there was another way to specify default settings within an function.   Thanks Jay   I'm in Creo7.0.2.0  if this matters.

Hi.   I just got news from PTC, that they are STOPPING support for USB adapter (dongle) licensing from versions Creo 7.0.6.0 and Creo 8.0.0.0 forward. This is true for floating and also locked licenses. Links on PTC eSupport:  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS349044 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS348204   I think that this is totally unacceptable. PTC commnuity should know about this and I hope that PTC will hear how many customers this affects.   Also what bothers me is, that I had to open support case to learn about this.This should be written on the first page of eSupport. Or at least this should be the first thing that Jim Heppelmann tells us in his Liveworx 2021 presentation ("Digital Pyshical transformation... And by the way, we are canceling support for USB dongles").😀   Kind regards, Domen          

I can add a note and dimensions in the component, and at first it was showing up in the BOM, but now it disappeared. I can't add a balloon either, but the component it's still showing up in the drawing.   I really don't know what to do to fix it.   Thank you.

Hi There,   In flexible modeling you can select a single surface and then with a single button propagate the selection to all tangent surfaces.    This is exactly what I want to do but in the normal modeling environment. I have a lot of sheetmetal parts and for each of them I run a macro that takes my manually selected surfaces then does a copy and paste of the quilt into a different part followed by a few other operations..   Currently, I select all the tangent surfaces of a part manually using the control key and then start my macro. Is there any way to automatically select all tangent surfaces in the normal modeling environment just as you can in the flexible modeling environment?    Thanks Karl      

Curious how I can get my tangent edges to display as such in assembly view:   Currently, my model is displaying like this instead:     And I need to match the first image view style for a presentation I'm updating. Any idea? Been messing with settings and configuration values for over an hour trying to figure it out.

If I have a small structure of lets say 12 tubes to form a cube and I need this cube in 20 locations along a straight line. I can create the cube in my assembly file, group it and then apply a pattern. Alternatively, I can create a sub-assembly of the cube and locate that in my assembly and then pattern that. Which will regen faster, the patterned cube group or the patterned sub-assembly? Which will be less memory used?  

Hello.   I have been recently working with both CREO Parametric and CREO View with large assemblies and I was wondering if there was a way to turn on the representations of specific parts on CREO Parametric with what I have turned on CREO View. The way I have been doing it until now is to open the assembly on CREO View, add to a New Model the subassemblies/parts that I will work with, and then go back to CREO Parametric to search for each one of these items, which is time-consuming because the search bar won't find an item that has not been set a representation on. So I have to search for the path of the item on CREO View and replicate it to Parametric.   Thanks and regards.

Hello Gurus! I currently have a complex model which is made from 2 imported surface sets. One being the interior and the other being the exterior. It is also company policy  to do the modelling features in a half section and then mirror merge to try cut down number of features. We also have a policy which states that interior surfaces to be 'Red', Exteriors to be 'Blue' and machined surfaces to be 'White'. All is good until I mirror and the other side just stays one colour. To change I would have to pick each individual surface and the part is now a solid 😞    Any ideas?

I want to define a catalog part from a supplier with the correct mass.   I will need to make a family part for the whole different variants. Obviously, when I define my simplified part of the gas spring, I wont have the correct mass. I remembered to measure the volume of the part, and change the density of the part. But I'm struggling with it.   I created a relation to calculate the density, according to the volume of the part, and the mass from catalog. mp_density=catalog_mass/VOLUME:FID_VOLUME But the final mass of the part, remains the default, don't know why, but I'm unable to change it.     Any idea?      

Do you need to create model of a Chain? It is hard to follow the curve and set all geometry dimensions correctly? Here is the step by step tutorial - how to create 3D model of Chain.

I am using Creo Parametric 2.0 M080Hello Team,We have developed a toolkit (.dll) file (few years back) to create a PDD file(.XML) by extracting sketch information.Now, we would want to upgrade them to enhance its functionalities to fetch dimension and constraint information.To debug the existing source code from visual studio, we couldn't able launch the debugging environment in Creo by running the visual studio by manually keeping breakpoints in the code. Few tips from toolkit documentation didn't helped us.Debugging mode decouples the toolkit in the list of auxiliary applications adding it to more difficulty. on the other hand, if we start creo parametric program from start menu, toolkit is loaded in runtime and available in the session.We also have few queries about the way, how functions are implemented in Creo Parametric.? we would like to connect with developers of this program, as more questions would arise as a part of conversationHere are the errors that I faced The breakpoint

In brief: If you want the rule to apply to all levels and not just the current subassembly, do not check the "Include submodels" box when you initially create the search condition.  Close the rule editor dialog box, and then "redefine" to edit it, and then check that box.   On a large assembly, this can make a huge difference in how long it takes to bring up the resulting Simp Rep each time.  Compare the results I got with my demo assembly: Creo Parametric 2.0 M240 with workaround: 13 seconds without workaround:  6 minutes   Creo Parametric 4.0 M030 with workaround:  14 seconds without workaround: 28 seconds   In depth: Oh boy, was this tricky to figure out!   I have a complicated top assembly model that we've been working on for years.  It has a "No_Standard_Hardware" Sim Rep, that automatically removes fasteners and other small components.  This was set up using the "Model Rules" feature in Simp Reps.  There is a "Rule Action" to
