Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am a newer user of Creo Parametric 6.0 as well as to CAD in general.  I have been learning it on my own and have used a number of resources to learn the basic concepts. I have created an assembly for a clamping fixture.  However, I would like to expand the fixture from the current two stations to a total of ten stations.   Is there a way to basically copy (or duplicate) the existing assembly and add four additional assembles to the side to accomplish this task?  Or should I start from scratch ?     Thanks in advance, Tim

Hello everyone ,   I have to create maximum dimension to all drafting view , for that I find the maximum and minimum coordinate of solid body using bounding box api , using this coordinates I create datum coordinate system , now I want to add dimension using these coordinate system but it's giving me some error , Please help me to resolve this error , I am sharing the code for your reference ,   Code : - void MaxDimension(){ProErr err;ProDrawing drawing;ProView *views;Pro3dPnt outline[2];ProSolid solid;ProVector csys_pos;list<ProView> view_collect; err = ProMdlCurrentGet((ProMdl*)&drawing);err = ProDrawingViewsCollect(drawing, &views);int viewCount;err = ProArraySizeGet((ProArray)views, &viewCount);for (size_t i = 0; i < viewCount; i++){view_collect.push_front(views[i]);}err = ProDrawingViewSolidGet(drawing, view_collect.front(), &solid);err = ProSolidOutlineGet((ProSolid)solid, outline);double minCoor[3] = { outline[0][0],outline[0][1],outline[0][2]

I am working with Creo 4.0, so I hope that a later version of Creo can handle this...   With the "repeat" function in an assembly, a user can choose which constraints he want to keep, and which constraints he want to change, and then repeatingly place that component into that assembly. It's a very usefull feature.   I would like to "repeat" a feature in a part, just like how I can "repeat" a component placed in an assembly.   Ideally, I would select a feature, RMB --> Repeat, decide which references to keep the same and which to change, and then start placing that feature a couple of more times.   I know that I can "copy & paste" a feature, but then Creo will start asking for all references...that's not what I want. I also don't want to create a UDF, as sometimes it's just a simple hole which I want to repeat. A pattern is not an option, as I am going to toggle those features ON and OFF with Pro/PROGRAM.   Maybe I am overlooking an existing feature of Cr

I need to make some modifications in the drawing, but now sure how. Could someone help? 1 - This part inside the red circle it's appearing on both sides, but I need just one side, like in the second image. Besides that, I need the line to be dashed. How can I do that?  (how it's now) (how it's supposed to be) 2 - I need to show this part in the red circle, also with dashed line, that it's in the model but doesn't appear in the drawing. How can I do it?    

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 4.0 (connected) 4.0 M060New linestocks were created for Newberry CAD conversion. When I add a hole as a UDF (user defined feature), not only does it not add the hole feature to the bend table, it stops the bend table from being created at all. When initially setting up the hole UDF, it indicates that the files do not have the same units. I've tried to change units in the tube part/assembly, and change scale of the hole, but have not had any success.Example is 31350642"Chart Generation ERROR: 3010 = Pipe Hole Has Invalid Diameter"

I am using Creo Parametric 2.0 F000Other than the help center, are there any other documents, such as PDFs, that show the basic operation and creation process?

I am using Creo Parametric 2.0 M020I am running the software on a Windows 10 HP laptop with video card Radeon Pro WX 3100, and the software is really slow - it takes me a long time to open a 6.8 MB STP file, and there is a lag when I turn the part. I do not do modeling on my laptop; I only view 3Ds.I previously had a Windows 7 lower grade laptop and can view parts this size no problem, but ever since I got this new laptop I have been having a hard time just viewing STP files.Do you know if there is a compatibility issue with my video card or any suggestion on how the program can run smoothly on my laptop? Let me know if you need more information on my laptop.

I am using Creo Parametric 2.0 M250the speed is very slowly ( 50-60s) when we create a new drawing or model by using Creo Parametric. it happend one month ago , it meaning it is working fine one month ago. please look into it . thanks a lot!

Hey There,  After saving a part to an .stl file, creo leaves the part with facet outlines. How do I get rid of them without closing the part and reopening?

We are in the early phases of model based enterprise. Our MBE template models have several built-in flat to screen notes. If we activate GD&T Advisor application it runs a "Unvalidated Annotations" check. The only way to preserve annotation is to choose Validate All". The second screen warns of a different tolerance standard and has Delete All or Don't Delete.   Even when choosing Don't Delete" GD&T Advisor deletes ALL model notes, including those that have nothing to do with dimensioning. Having an application strip out all of our MBE template annotations is clearly not useful.   We have the GDT_ENTERPRISE_SET.  Is there a config option to turn this behavior off? Documentation states that without the GDT_ENTERPRISE_SET there would be an ignore button. What am I missing here?    

So, the last time I played with this (quite a while ago, right before my spineless/nutless stalker trolled people here), there was a little distortion in the corners where the spring got smaller.  This iteration is more complex, with a lot more features, but then I'm trying to get a lot more complex shape and I managed to eliminate most of that distortion.  You can't get all of it out because, honestly, Creo isn't meant for or 100% capable of what I'm trying to get it to do.  No matter, I got as close to perfect as I think is possible and reasonable.   Of note:  Creo flat refused to let me use a boundary blend to wrap a curve onto, at least in my application.  Also problematic were trying to use C2 continuous rounds to wrap onto, Creo seemed to like a conic round much better and the result is basically the same.  There is no "wave" to this helix as you would get in trying to use a helical spiral around an axis, as you can see by the fact that the flat

I'm pretty sure I could do a symmetric revolve up to 359.9 degrees in previous versions of Creo.    Could someone let me know if that is true?    I am using Creo 8 right now and it's maxing out at 359.5.    

I'm starting with synchronous J-Link application. I'm able to link & launch the sample applications, but not able to debug. The J-Link documentation does not explain much about it. Even on web, I see posts suggesting about debug messages, but that it not very efficient way. Any recommendations on the IDE to use and how to attach the debugger for the same?

Hi all,   I am working on a 2D drawing where I am adding dimensions. (Creo 4.0). Some dimensions, I show using 'Show Model Annotations', and some dimensions I add manually. I now have 2 angular dimensions: one that I added myself, and another that I added using 'Show Model Annotations'. I noticed that I can change the dimension orientation (Inside Angle, Outside Angle, Supplementary Angle 1, ...) only of the dimension that I added manually. On the 'Show Model Annotations' created dimension, the 'Orientation' button is greyed out in the toolbar. Can this be changed, so I can change the orientation of the Annotated dimension also? Or is that fixed?   First screenshot shows the 60° angular dimension that I created myself, with the enabled 'orientation' button.   Second screenshot shows the 150° angular dimension with the orientation button greyed out.   2D Drawing  

Hi,   Anyone know of a Creo Parametric Config.pro setting that will allow Creo to display all file types when opening or when assembling a component in an assembly?Working in a Multi Cad environment and need to assemble other CAD system files to Creo assemblies.   Thanks, Don A

I have a created a large assembly of an industrial air compressor which contains every option we offer on the machine. These options are broken into option classes which are grouped in the model tree (see photo). Every option is part of a Simplified Rep I created called EMPTY and set to EXCLUDE.     If I expand each option class one at a time, select one option from each, and set it to MASTER REP to build a specific machine, can I save these MASTER REP options only as a standalone file that does not reference the original assembly in any way? I know I can Copy As External but that still references the original assembly. I know this was possible in earlier versions of Pro/E.  

Here is my case, Assmbly model "mode A" public features: Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ ... And B use copy geometry  fucntion get the feature  Ⅰ; And C use copy geometry  fucntion get the feature  Ⅱ; ... etc.   Its worked well, but when new project coming, The only difference is we need change the featureⅠ to  feature α, others need to keep same. But when I try to save as the "mode A " to "mode AA", Neither core or Windchill alllowed me to re-use model C or others. They force me to make new parts at all.   For drawings and BOM, maybe its ok, but  this is a disaster for the warehousing system. I am new for croe and windchill, So I am not sure I used the right way to do the top down design.   Do you have any sugestion, thank you!
