Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi Guys,   Lets say i have an assembly open and on my screen. I then open a drawing file. This drawing file does not come forward on the screen. Its actually behind the assembly i had open previously.    Has anyone had this happen? It happens on a few of our computers here...but not all of them.    I do remember this being an issue with wildfire.. a long time ago, but don't know what the fix was for it.    I do have an open ticket with PTC on this, but thought i would ask you guys if anyone has come across this.    We are running Creo 7.0.2.0 and Windows 7 professional. Also running the latest video card drivers. (have Nvidia K2000)   Thanks, Jay    

What is the difference between "references" and "surfaces - chains" in the dialog window that appears when creating or redefining Annotation Features? What are they used for?

Hi, Most of the CNC builders offer option liked the one in the title. Does anybody know how to activate/ control them using GPost. Or how to capture things when you need 3+2 machining or 5 axis machining?

I want to use trochoidal milling with 5 Axis machining. Is this function given in Creo 5.0? I added "trochoidal_milling" in the config.pro. After selecting the trajectory milling the two parameters "trochoid_width" and "trochoid_depth appear, where i can configure my milling path. When I switch to 5-axis machining the parameters disappear. Why is this happening? I am using Creo Parametric 5.0. Thank you in advance!

Hi all. I’m looking to learn to use CREO during my free time at work. I do rapid prototyping work for a large company, the floor level machinists all use MasterCAM and the engineers and CAD people all use CREO. My department kind of falls in between so we have full licenses to both, but none of us know how to use CREO besides pulling .stp files.I’ve been watching videos on youtube and the little bit of CAD I’ve picked up seems much easier than making models with MasterCAM. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be many tutorials for CREO compared to MasterCAM/Fusion/whatever. Anyone have any recommendations? Does the license for CREO Parametric include access to PTC University/LEARN?Thanks!Paul  

I'm currently working on the bone prosthesis design incorporated with lattice structure. I'm using lattice feature in Creo 4.0 to generate the lattice. However, I have a problem when CREO isn't able to generate the lattice according to the shape that I want. What is the reason for this and how to solve it?

I am learning to use Creo 4.0 Manufacturing to create toolpath and send code to our Haas 3 axis mill.  I've been fairly successful so far but I am struggling to understand how to apply lead in and cutter compensation and get it to output G41/G42.  I have the Creo 4.0 manufacturing "Black Book" tutorial but the menus and options appear to be outdated and are much different than what I see in my app. I've narrowed it down to a "CUTCOM" command but if I turn it on,  it still will not generate G41 when I process code.  Is there an updated tutorial that will walk me through how to use cutter comp and other functions?? thanks  

i HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE POST FOR THIS MACHINE BUT UNABLE TO MAKE 3+2 MOVE AND TRUE 5 AXIS WORKING ON THE SAME POST.  DOES ANYONE HAD ANY SUCCESS FOR THIS POST YET?.

Does anyone have an example of how to set assembly or component appearances (preferably by name), using the VB API?

Creo Parametric 7.0 does not start anymore. I suspect a Windows update (Windows 10; operating system build 19042.928) or something about the hardware could be to blame, because it also affects other design software, such as Prusa Slicer and Fusion 360. It can't be due to the system requirements because it used to run without problems. rIf I reinstall the software (current version) it does not get better. When I want to start the software, it appears briefly in the task manager under background processes and also disappears again immediately. The mouse turns into an hourglass, as normal. That is all that happens. No window opens. I just recently installed the software; then it started twice, now it doesn't. I suspect if I reinstall the software it will not get better. Maybe someone has an idea what the problem could be. All drivers are up to date. My computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad P53s; hard disk Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB; processor Intel Core i7 -8565U; 16 GB RAM. I have deactivated Fire

Hey all,   Just went from 5.0 to 6.0.1.0 and now when we edit definitions while a cross section is activated. We get a blue cross section color. Like the whole section is blue with no definitive part outlines to be seen. Pretty terrible when trying to re-constrain interior parts of an assembly.   Anyone else run into this or know of a way to change how an X-Section looks?

Hello,   ASME Y14.5 2018 and 2009 are saying in paragraph 6.3.2.1 and 3.3.2 respectively that a dashed line must be used if the datum feature is hidden. By watching Fig 6-3 on the 2018 version I understand that "hidden" means behind the projected view.   My question is: Why is CREO 4.0 changing the extension line of a Datum Symbol from a solid one to a dashed one when I drag the Datum Symbol away from the contour line in a projected view where that contour is visible in solid line on the projected view? That is not happening if the Datum symbol is attached to a dimension and that wasn't happening before CREO 4.0, furthermore it is actually not what ASME is showing in multiple examples across the pictures of Y14.5 Standard (Fig 7-52 Datum A, Fig 9-2 Datum A, Fig 9-11 Datum A, Fig 10-2 Datum A, etc.)   This is creating confusion between the R&D and Metrology department in my organization. I appreciate your support to clarify this topic.  

I am using Creo Parametric 3.0 M060Buongiorno, richiedo cortesemente la possibilità di scaricare Creo 3.0 release M060

We just moved to Creo7. The multibody possibilities seemed very nice for skeleton models, because now I can finally make a skeleton model from multiple solid bodies. For using these bodies in new parts, I selected "bodies" in the "copy geometry - references" window This seems to work fine, but when I export the resulting part to STEP, the exported file is empty. When I select the individual surfaces in the "Surface Sets" menu instead, the exported STEP is fine. So is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?  

I am using Creo Simulate 3.0 M110I would like to perform a mechanical simulation on a part. I put a displacement on a surface and 2 forces on 2 different points.There are no other parts, so I didn't set any interface.I tried to run a Static analysis, linear, multipass, with the constraints and forces selected.It ends abnormally and say: "The design study terminated abnormally. The model is insufficiently constrained for the analysis. Please review the element connections, properties, and constraints. If this is a modal analysis, then you may be able to obtain a solution by requesting additional modes.The unconstrained degree of freedom can be seen by running a constrained Modal Analysis with rigid mode search. Animating the rigid modes will display the unconstrained degrees of freedom. If the error still occurs, then the issue could be caused by material properties or unattached spring/mass idealizations."But when I try to run the modal analysis it seems to freeze.What I can do?Here ar

Hello,  I'm running into some issues trying to pull part dims into a repeat region. I'm working towards having as much info automatically pulled into the to remove any user error from manually typing information and dimensions.    When I click into the repeat region and select asm->mbr->D1, it correctly pulls that info. The same is true for D2. I wrote the following relation (with some help from other posts regarding real numbers to string conversion) to put these dims into a string so it shows "Length X Width":     IF ASM_MBR_D1 > ASM_MBR_D2 LENGTH = ASM_MBR_D1 WIDTH = ASM_MBR_D2 IF ASM_MBR_D1 < ASM_MBR_D2 LENGTH = ASM_MBR_D2 WIDTH = ASM_MBR_D1 ENDIF ENDIF /* CONVERT LENGTH REAL NUMBER TO STRING WITH 2 DECIMALS LENGTH_STR = ITOS(FLOOR(LENGTH+.0005))+"."+\ EXTRACT(ITOS(((FLOOR((LENGTH+.0005),2))\ -FLOOR(FLOOR((LENGTH+.0005),2))+1)*1000),2,2) WIDTH_STR =ITOS(FLOOR(WIDTH+.0005))+"."+\ EXTRACT(ITOS(((FLOOR((WIDTH+.0005),2))\ -FLOOR(FLOOR((WIDT

Hi peoples ,   Iam sure most of you would have performed analysis on (ISO-15818) lifting and tying down using analysis tools. I would like to know how did you set up your model for tying down analysis in creo simulate. In real time for tying your truck/loader to trailer technicians will be using chain or rope, how are you replicating the same in your FEA thru spring or beam. Please specify the properties of spring and beam which ever you are using.   Do you run two load case for longitudinal & transverse or any other simplest way.   Appreciate your time and thanks in advance.

Hello Community,   I want to delete a geometrical tolerance on drawing ; I don't remember how to do that. I can select the Tol Geom but if I delete it, it delete the dimension too. I tried in 3D : I doesn't find. Is somebody know how delete this element ?   Thanks

Hello,   I have a detailed view that I placed on a different sheet (sheet 2) of the original view (sheet 1). I am trying to add ordinate dimensions referencing my original reference (from sheet 1).    I found a very old post that said to expand the view, add the ordinate dimension reference, then return to the detailed view. Which I would be alright with that if I could figure out how to expand my view and then go back to it.    Can anyone help please! Is there a way to do this at all?    

Hey all Any one has this post processor successfully utilized.    Thank you 

Hi, We changed from Inventor to CREO, now if we import a stp file (or an INVENTOR assembly) every part becomes an asssembly and every feature becomes a part, generating hundrets of parts and assemblies. We need to get the parts and assemblies as in our old drawings. So every part should be a part and every assembly should be an assembly. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Stephan  

Hello, I have a 3D Connexion Space Mouse Pro that I had been using for a few years now with Creo 4. It worked wonderfully, and I came to really enjoy being able to go to views with a button.   My office recently upgraded to Creo 7, and the ancillary buttons stopped working. The only thing that still functions properly is the 'joystick' portion.    Looking around, I found mention of ensuring your drivers are up to date (they are) and that the Auxiliary Application is loaded in Creo. This information can be confirmed in the Tools tab, under Utilities, Auxiliary Applications, Information. It should be listed, but isn't, and I'm curious if I'm missing  a step to have my space mouse function properly again.   Please help!

can someone please help me to figure out how to add a zigzig foreshortened liner dimension.
