Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I just wanted to post a a little helper file for creating internal and external threads based on the Unified Thread Standard (UTS) which covers both English and Metric.   I must give high kudos' to Wikipedia.  I borrowed their images and tables for the attached Creo 2.0 full version parametric file.  You will also find a linked link in the site if you turn on annotation.   See the relations to drive the pitch and diameter you are interested in.  The file is set up for English but you can change it to metric units, if that is your primary usage.  Most everything that can be driven by relations has been.  Only 3 variables are needed... and TPI (thread per inch) is set to zero if you want to define the pitch directly for metric threads.  See the "IF" statement in Relations.   I did have some troubles along the way.  I split up the helical sweep because it -did- fail if I did it in one go although it did not overlap anywhere.  This was

I have a very simple assembly of 4 flat sheets stacked on top of each other. The tree shows them in the correct order (bottom first -> top last). The BOM balloons however put the 2nd sheet as #1, the bottom sheet as #2, and 3&4 are correct. The BOM table correspondingly lists the 2nd layer as first in the table, then the bottom layer, then 3 and 4. Is there a way to reorder the balloons and table?Thanks in advance... I'm new to ProE.

dear expert is there any option in creo machining to get smooth machining??   regards   Fisa

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M140We recently changed workstation and needing new license for that MAC address, thanks.

creo 7.0 manufacturing info report missing please check to attach a pic. there is no report module in the start new menu

I use flexible modeling frequently for my work lately using the offset geometry or edit radius commands have been causing my program to not respond and ultimately end up crashing with this error message. I've been wasting lots of time due to these crashes and some insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Hi,I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M140Sometimes, but not repeatable, when trying to connect with vba to an existing (and the only one) Creo-Instance I get this pfcEcxeptions-Error:-2147352567->pfcExceptions::XToolkitAppVersionMismatchMy Code is following:Dim asyncConnection As IpfcAsyncConnectionDim cAC As CCpfcAsyncConnectionDim session As IpfcBaseSessionDim Windows As IpfcWindowSet cAC = New CCpfcAsyncConnectionSet asyncConnection = cAC.Connect(Null, Null, Null, Null) <- in this line my code stopsSet session = asyncConnection.sessionSince I'm a VBA-Beginner and this Code is from a colleague which is not longer in our firma, I am thankful for all help and information on this!

Hi, all Is there a way how to configure something like "local search path"? I mean the search path valid for current working directory. I need to set search paths when I change working directory. Is it possible? e.g. to have file with paths in working directories and creo use these files when search for models. (not common file like search.pro, but different for each dir.) I don't use windchill.   thanks, Michal.

Currently the motion envelope is only velocity based. User will have to set the velocity at which each actuator operate and their sequence based on time and the motion envelope is generated based on the given motion the designer desires.But my requirement is to get the complete possible motion envelope of a linkage. Say there are 3 actuators, having stroke 100 - 1000 mm and the step values are in increments of 100 mm.So there will be 10 possible positions (100,200,300,400....1000) for each actuators.The total possible combinations considering all 3 actuators will be 10 X 10 X 10 = 1000 combinations.I need a motion envelope of the linkage considering all these 1000 locations.Is there any workaround to get this motion envelope using Creo Mechanism ?

I am running into a bit of an issue.  I want to change the name of the material to "purch" for my purchased components but keep the material properties.  Essentially what I want to accomplish is in my assembly drawing BOM it will be clear which items are purchased and which are manufactured.     When I go to PTC_Material_Name and try to change it, I get an error saying "invalid value    

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M080Nous cherchons a intégrer des dossiers dans lesquels se trouvent nos fichiers .Prt, .asm et . drw. de sorte qu'à l'ouverture d'un fichier d'assemblage, creo récupère automatiquement ces fichiers qui interviennent dans l'assemblage.Nos fichiers sont organisés dans différents dossiers, et lors de l’ouverture d’un assemblage creo n’est pas capable de retrouver les pièces.Nous avons 2 pc et 2 licences, Le fichier config.pro a été copié depuis le PC1 (qui fonctionne normalement) et les chemins ont été adaptés pour correspondre aux chemins depuis le PC2. Ceci à fonctionnée pour les formats des mises en plan et les couleurs de la fenêtre mais pas pour le reste.Pouvez-vous nous indiquer comment faire pour que créo puisse ouvrir toutes les pièces d’un assemblage dans notre configuration ?

Recently I try to study the function ProAsmcompCreateCopy by C language, and always gotten the return of -26. After checking the menu, -26 means  PRO_TK_NOT_VALID   Required license not found. so would like to know does it need other special license for this function? thanks.

I've traced an image in Creo sketch, with the intention to extrude - remove the profile into the base part. The problem is, I believe, that some of the spline sketch entities are too small and it's causing a regeneration error when I try to extrude - solid. I can extrude - surface, but that isn't what I need here.   Larger scaled versions of this same sketch are able to extrude, which is why I'm assuming it has to do with the sketch entity size. I've already set my model properties - accuracy to as low as the system will allow.   Does anyone know of a work around or way to modify a sketch to get this to work?   Thanks!

I've been asked to update our license server from FlexLM 11.14 to FlexLM 11.16. We currently use Creo 4 and will continue as such. Is there a simple way to update the license server without breaking everything? Will my current license.dat file be compatible with the new version? How do I even go about getting the new version so I can install it?

Hello How do I duplicate cavities and inserts by also inserting my own parameters? For components that are assembled, how do I add all my parameters and relation?

I have a family table with 4 instances, one of the instances is for a specific customer and requires tighter tolerances. So when I manually add +/- 1 to one drawing it automatically appears on the other drawings. If I add to the dimensional text to say 150 "MAX" the MAX also shows up on the other drawings. Somehow they are connected and 

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) 7.0 7.0.1.0I would like to add a material property called DIELECTRIC BREACKDOWN VOLTAGE, units are [kV/mm].When I add this feature to MATERIAL USER DEFINED features tab, I cannot select this unirs from the drop down list because it is not present.Is there a way to add a few units to that list?

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 2.0 (connected) 2.0 M250Need support on creating BOM balloon in assembly model.BOM balloon should be provided for each part in assembly model.It should be parametric balloon & it can be annotation.All balloons or annotations provided should be under assembly model.Here are the errors that I faced Not able to create

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 6.0 (connected) 6.0 6.0.3.0I can generate a drawing with formats but when I close and reopen the drawing the format is missing.I am new to the software but I believe my working directory is all set up correctly.Here are the errors that I faced No errors thrown

Hi, I have certain questions pl. help me in getting solutions; 1) How to check that the installed creo (i have ptc 5.0) is installed with VB API or it supports VBA? 2) Through VBA i have to open the creo and set the working directory without going opening the creo manually is it possible through vba? 3) There is an assembly of 5 different components & each each component has different parameters (like family table but however i will not be making the family table) then is it possible to write program in excel vba to automatically replace parts with the existing part in the assembly?   Regards, Shubham Mehta

Example problem we are trying to solve.   I have a plate with 100 holes. This pattern of holes was created using a fill pattern.   I assemble a round tube into the 1st hole and fully constrain including a datum called "ANGLE".  This datum exists in the tube itself and is driven by a parameter.   I need that I need control the angle   Now, I want to pattern this tube but be able to into any of the tubes afterwards and adjust the angle by changing that plane in the tube.  All tubes used to be same angle so we would simply ref pattern and done. Now we need this control over each individual tube.   Is the best solution to create a UDF of the tube and assemble 1 at a time so the tube is it's own part for each hole?   Any other great ideas that cut down on the manual clicking and keeps the pattern a pattern?   Too bad we can't make a table and just vary the angle dimension across the pattern or by position.   Thanks!   Steve

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M150Need assistance with installing Creo Parametic correctly on a Citrix server. I currently have the application installed, but when it is launched it hangs and eventually pops up a window that the app is not responding and prompts to end the process.

I'm creating a  solid sweep with a round cross section along a fitted curve through the attached points (units are METERS).  Unless the diameter is very small, the sweep fails.  Changing accuracy does not seem to help.  What is it that CREO is hung up on?

Hi,   I want to import a dxf_file with 8400 holes in it and extrude the curves. I clicked on File->Open-> (dxf-file) -> then I selected "part" ->open   The dxf-file is imported as a curves. I tried to project the curves to a new sketch, but its not a lot of fun to select 8400 curves one by one in the project-command.     Does anybody have a solution ?   Thanks, Maik
