Creo+ and Creo Parametric

At some point in the recent past, Creo started having pauses or delays during normal working. Seems random. I'm in a drawing today and it lets me do a few things and then pauses for a few seconds. Then goes right back to where it was. I typically click 2 or 3 times thinking I didn't select right and realize its not waiting on me.  I'm on Creo 4, just updated to M130 hoping it would change something. Nope. Cleaned out my workspaces and deleted my .wf...didn't help. Cleaned out my working directory...didn't help Was working in a large workspace, so I moved my current drawing an it's files to a standalone workspace, 29 objects...didn't help. Disabled the 2 config.pro files and restarted...didn't help. I am working from home, it's the only other thing I can't test. I *think* it was happening in the office when I was there. We have a local install, local working directory. Some network connections in the config but I think I ruled those out when I disabled the config.pro's. Any thought

As a certified SolidWorks professional now using Creo there are a few shortcuts I miss, one of which is being able to open a drawing for a part from the model tree. In Solidworks you can do this with ether a part file or and assembly, but you can find the part in the model tree, right click and select open drawing. This shortcut will then open the drawing associated with that part without having to cycle through menus and folders looking for the drawing required. Is this something you can do in Creo 3.0 or do i have to make a macro linked to a hot key to make this functionality?Thanks

I'm creating a reference pattern of holes from a pattern of sketches. The reference pattern works fine. But when I go to exclude some instances of the pattern, the dots show up all right on top of each other and I can't distinguish between them or select any of them other than the first. They are all exactly in the same place, and no amount of zooming in shows any distance between them. Is there another way to exclude certain instances other than selecting the dots?   Creo Parametric 6.0.4.0

Hi, I'm using Creo2 for many years.So, I have my config.pro, my templates, materials...A whole folder with configuring files.I've just installed Creo7, what a big step !So I'm wondering if I can reuse my configuration  files or must I to modify them ?Any advice, explanations on this ?Of course, a lot of mapkeys will probably not work anymore.But, templates, setting, materials, colors... ???Thanks

I am trying Web.Link demo program comes with Creo 2 or Creo 5 at ". . . \Common Files\<DateCode>\weblink\weblinkexamples\html\pfcComponentFeatExamples.html" I have resolved some trivial problems of PTC's demo program (so works fine on Windows 10 with Creo embedded IE browser). The attachment pfcComponentFeatExamples.zip contains all needed files to reproduce the problem.   The error message is as shown above. I have traced into the source code and I know the error is from this line:     /*--------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Carry out the replacements \*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/ assembly.ExecuteFeatureOps (replaceOps, null);     But what's wrong with the demo program? that is listed below for your convenience      function replaceBoltsInAssembly () { // var oldInstance = "PHILLIPS7_8"; var oldInstance = "BOLT"; var newInstance = "SLOT7_8";

Hi,   I would like to use ifx to place things like rivets. Is it possible to costumize another components, besides the provided list? If yes how to do it?  

I have a problem since Windows 10 2004 update; before this update Creo 6 was working fine, after this update Creo 6 isn't starting anymore. It crashes before the splash screen comes up; mabe anyone can help; the only hint I have is the traceback.log attached; I tried uninstalling and re-installing Creo6 without any success

Hello all. I work with J-Link application for Creo 6 and 7. And I need to create a simple dialog with list of string items and OK/Cancel buttons. Items for list should be generated before loading of dialog. And my idea was to create a dialog by Creo UI Editor, load this dialog during application work and load string data to list on the dialog each time before opening this dialog. But I have problem. I can't even load the simple dialog. Creo just stuck and not responding when I try to call the method which should load the dialog. What I did: 1. There is a folder of application, called "dialog". 2. This folder contains a few files - protk.dat, DialogBox.jar and "text" folder. 3. "text" folder contains "resource" folder. 4. I created the simple dialog "test" by Creo UI Editor and saved it as "test.res" into "dialog\text\resource" folder. 5. Also I generated the test.java file which contains some initialization code for this dialog. 6. After that I created a simple DialogBox.java file whic

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 2.0 (connected) 2.0 M150I am using Creo Parametric - Release 2.0 (connected) 2.0 M150Hi Team,We need to eliminate all PG users from our ABB servers:de-s-0178489de-s-0178490cn-s-vpproel.cn.abb.comuswnd-s-flexlm1.xa.abb.comFor this, we have added "EXCLUDEALL GROUP HAPG" command in option file and add added all PG users based on their license usage inside the Group HAPG. Still we can see their usage in ABB server, but they shouldn't because they have already excluded from the ABB servers. For eg: user "inraans" in cn-s-vpproel.cn.abb.com server and "THSOBOO" in uswnd-s-flexlm1.xa.abb.com server.Please find the attached option files and log files from 2 servers (cn-s-vpproel.cn.abb.com & uswnd-s-flexlm1.xa.abb.com)Reference ticket: 15802092Please help us to eliminate completely their usage.Best Regards,Tincy RoseFlexLM TeamHere are the errors that I faced Please help us to eliminate completely their usage.

When using Perspective View mode, I'm used to the eye center being coincident with the center of the screen. After upgrading to Creo 4 from 3 (though this may have nothing to do with the upgrade), I am now noticing that the eye center is not always at the center of the screen where it should be. Even within the same assembly model, sometimes the eye center is where it should be, sometimes it's off to the left, sometimes it's down off the screen entirely, etc.. I have not been able to find any built-in controls to move the eye center directly. Do these exist? What could be causing it to move around on its own?        

Okay, so I've created two holes coincident which have axis A4 and A8 as shown below. I want to add a flat end screw which will stop at the bottom, with the bottom of the screw being flush with the bottom of the hole A8, however when I go to 'Tools' > 'Screw' and add the constraints, it places a screw which goes past my hole A8 until it reaches the other side of my surface. How do I constraint it so the screw stops when it reaches the bottom of the hole?   I'm guessing Its me that's selecting the wrong things in the 'screw' placement settings

Objective: Designing a tube with multiple bends. Each bend has a manufacturing tolerance of +/- 1 degree. Which Design Study/ Analysis can be used to generate all possible curve outcomes to get the max\min tolerance envelope ?   Thank You 

My program intent tis to create a Shrinkwrap of the current assembly.     I am using ProSolidShrinkwrapMdlnameCreate to create the SW.  And setting options prior to the function call as shown in the examples.  Export is working, but I need the Shrinkwrap to include a specific Csys.   The csys is a specific name.   So to my actual issue -  there are functions to set the options of the Shrinkwrap, and one is for including datum references - perfect!  ProShrinkwrapoptionsDatumrefsSet  takes for the second argument a ProSelection *   an array of Proselections.     Does anyone have an example where they have generated an array of ProSelection,  using a selection in which they generated from a geomitem?     (there are utilities in the Protk folder to find the csys by name and convert to sel)  I have that.     Thanks for any Help!

Hello all,   I have a flexible spring, it is attached to a housing assembly.  i am able to move the housing assembly and the spring changes shape as expected.  now what I cant figure out how to make work is, put the housing into a frame assembly.  make the part in such a way that places the spring in the housing under a certian compression, depending on the perameters of the frame   the tree is spring>housing>frame spring is flexible, housing can be moved, but when the housing is in the frame assembly and i constrain it, the spring does not adjust automatically.

Hi all,I am hoping someone can point me to a good resource.I am working with a drawing that contains various text entities to include text in the drawing format, text in notes, and text in other tables. As I stumble through drawing creation or revisions I notice that these various text entities contain parameter callouts and text formatting code. I understand and appreciate this approach as things like drawing revisions will automatically update if the appropriate parameter is used. Also, for example, being able to put boxes around a portion of text in a note is important for flag notes and such.I'd like to be able to understand the "code" used to make the most of this capability. Does anyone have a good resource that explains the formatting code and how to use it?As a specific example here is something that accidentally worked but I can only guess why:I was having trouble getting the drawing revision to update from "-" to "A" in my drawing format. The table cell properties for the rev

I am trying to prepare a stage assembly from the main assembly. As we are restructuring the components, welds are not getting restructured. Even when we are migrating the components they are getting restructured but weld are not getting failed. Can I restructure spot, fillet welds, points, axes, planes, etc.? Please let me know.

This is not directly a simulation topic, although the model is intended for simulation. Assuming I have friends in this forum, you might be more willing to help out, than in the modeling forum where I'm not known...Can anyone import this step file, create a "mirror" feature, about the section plane, and create a "mirrored" copy of this imported geometry, and export the result as a solid / step...I.e. I need the mirrored copy merged with the existing geometry into one solid (original+mirror). I'm stuck with Solidworks, which it seems, can't do it. ( *frustrated* )Grateful for any help...

Every time I go over a part with the mouse, CREO 3.0 fills that part with color. It makes it extremely hard to select anything, or even to view the part. And the worst time it does that is when in Assembly mode, the only way to be able to select is to magnify like crazy. This is stupid, frustrating and very time consuming. Tried to turn if off to no avail. Please see clips attached. Does anyone know where to turn this feature off?  Thank you!

I am working quite a bit in the AFX tool, creating metal framed buildings for an architect. He has asked me to put the dimensions for my structural members in fractional form. On the drawing, changing the dimensions from decimal to fraction is pretty easy. That I have been able to do.    The problem is that I am also trying to provide a cut list that is created directly from my assembly. Currently the values that I am getting in the cut lists are decimal and are limited to one decimal place. I would like to "convert" these values to fractions without having to rewrite all of the values manually in the tables. Is there any options, anywhere, that will allow me to get this done? 

Hello,   I am new to Creo parametric. I have a requirement where I want to export a part/assembly/drawing from Creo Parametric to an external file(s), which in turn will be stored in some vault. I want to be able to import the file(s) back to creo parametric from the vault and get the part/assembly/drawing details same as it was originally, without any loss of information.   I have tried exporting the part file to Creo View format. But the when I try to import it back, some features in the model tree are missing. I am keeping the default import and export profile options. I have attached screenshots of the import and export profile options, original part and the re-imported part.   Is there any import options that need to be set or changed to reconstruct the part from exported file exactly as the original? Or is there any other format or method to achieve this?   Thanks, Apoorva

When "Adding to Workspace" simulation files associated with NX the WGM places the .sim file in a folder named "filename.prt.dir" instead of the name being "filename".  Is there a way to define the folder name where the secondary content files are put?  It is preferred/ideal to have a preference setting in the WGM “my settings” to set the default secondary content folder name.   This way the system can be set  up with a good default value as well as having the flexibility to allow the users to change it.  When WGM creates "filename.prt.dir" and places .sim files here the simulation files are not recognized by NX.

Currently WGM only allows for a single simulation file (must be same named file as CAD object) to be automatically checked in as attached content.  In real life usage many times there are more than 1 .sim file associated to object and as the .sim file is required to have same name as object in order to be uploaded there is a single .sim limitation otherwise user must manually check-in other .sim files as attached content.  Automatic upload should be able to handle more than one .sim file per object.  How can this functionality be achieved?

Hi I want to extract the weld feature (parents) information from solid weld created in creo. If i have created weld using two surface of part A nad Part B. than i want the parent information in table format for all the weld created.   Fillet Weld -> right click -> information -> Feature information -> window pop up with parent details and other details.   I want to extract the parent number or parent ID into excel for all welds in assembly at once in excel.  

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 7.0.0.0When inputting value for formula driven lattice -> cell fill -> wall thickness, I enter 0.1. Error message says: you have entered a value 0.1000 that is out of range (0.5100 to 1000000.0000) Click OK to correct, or Cancel to return to the previous setting. Is this just an inherent limiting feature of the Creo lattice functionality? It seems to make it so that only extremely large or extremely bloated lattice structures can be created.
