Creo+ and Creo Parametric

After test installing the latest Creo 9 Platform Services Update Patch and the new PTC Universal Browser Utility as documented here (Creo and WWGM CEF Patch Table | PTC), I notice a new PTC executable running with Creo Parametric when signed in to Windchill, located in the Creo Platform Services load path.  I cannot find any mention of "ptc_uiservice.exe" in the PTC Knowledge Base or the PTC Community.   I have opened a PTC Support Case to add it to CS245546 and CS110511 with further details. Does anyone have any information on this new executable? 

I've been trying to use the creoson libraries to pass parameters to a model and generate a drawing from javascript ... but the dimensions in model could not be displayed in the generated drawing.. when i try to do the following,dimObj = new creo.DimensionObj(); dimObj.name = "d0"; dimObj.showFlag = true; respdata = await dimObj.list({file:"mydrawing.drw", name:"*"});it returns a blank array when i trydimObj.show({file:"mydrawing.drw", name:"d0", show: true});to show an existing dimension from the model from which i generated the drawing, it reports, the dimension does not exist.. and ofcourse the dimensions are visible in creo when i manually use the "show annotations" toolbar button.. sadly, theres no show annotations interface function in creoson dimension module... any suggestions / help is appreciated

Hi All, I'd like to create a pipe table template to show same info as the table below for any piping assembly.It has to be valid for both bent and straight pipes.How repeat region settings should be set to get this outcome please?Also, is it possible to replace the index_rpt parameter (Item column) with a component parameter 'linenumber' to show the number based on an existing BOM? Many thanks in advance for your help!

What are the practical differences between Always, Read Only, & Only Design Study?I have a weld fixture on a positioner that handles three parts and I'm trying to figure the cg from rotation for the fixture itself, then one for each of the parts. I'm also trying to do this without using a family table so I can have the dimensions all in one view. 

We have a new batch of CNC programmers for our sheet metal parts. They asked me if I could export the DXF of the flat pattern without the drawing border. I guess the experienced programmers have always removed the 4 lines of the border. Is it possible to export a DXF of a drawing without the border? (geometry only)Is it possible to export a DXF of just the drawing view? (possible workaround if the above isn't possible) WF5 M080 Thanks,Jeff <><

Hello CREO community!We often face the challenge of modeling complex gear pairs and splined shafts in CREO Parametric. We always strive to follow international standards to ensure the design is as accurate as possible for manufacturing. However, detailing the tooth profiles according to the standards in every project is very time-consuming.My question is: Is there any plugin or specialized software that integrates with CREO and generates these gear profiles in a more automated way?Here is an example of a plugin that integrates with SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge, and Inventor. https://www.eassistant.eu/enBest regards,Uilian de Souza 

Is there a Creo Parametric setting that will make the Measure Distance tool launch with Setup and Results both expanded? Every time it launches it has them both collapsed. I want the tool to launch by default with them both expanded.  Yes, this is only a couple of mouse clicks, but this has to be repeated many times per day, and the expand/collapse buttons are really small.  So, this is a non-trivial headache.

 How to insert Item to a Tree, and form a tree structure by setting the parent/children relationship of treeItems?What does ItemPositionData mean?Can some one show me some code.

I have a table that we use to capture Rev History.  Whenever we add a row to this table, the text size and text alignment does not carry the alignment from the previous row.  Is there a way to set it the text size and alignment (or even style) for each column so that newly added rows don't need to be specifically defined? The first row under the headers shows how I want ever added row to behave.  The second row shows what I am currently getting in regards to Vertical Alignment, Horizontal Alignment, and Text Size. Currently using Creo 10.0 

How to compose the tree data structure in Creo UI component Tree. I am using OTK Java.With these classes it provide, I don't know how to add childNode or set parentNode. I can only display one node in the tree which might be the root node. This is my code. package com.ptc.otkjavaexamples.ui;/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ | | Module Details: | | Name: TechniqueTree.java | | Purpose: Display the TechniqueTree dialog \*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ import com.ptc.cipjava.jxthrowable; import com.ptc.pfc.pfcCommand.DefaultUICommandActionListener; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcComponent.*; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcCore.ItemPositionData; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcCore.uifcCore; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcDialog.*; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcInputPanel.*; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcPushButton.*; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcTree.*; public class TechniqueTree extends DefaultUICommandActionListener { private String

I have done a Google search as well as reviewing PTC's documentation online but haven't discovered exactly how to do that which likely isn't that difficult.I want to have my "Start In" location to be easily accessible and my config.pro burrowed in deeper but in a location that would not change after new Creo installs. Below shows where I would like the respective directory locations to be:Start In: C:/CurrentWorkConfig.pro: C:/CurrentWork/Creo/Settings There is one PTC help file that seems to suggest how this might be done, but I don't know where the suggested line would get applied.Alternate Path—You can set the environment variable PTC_CREO_ALT_SETTINGS_PATH to point to an alternative path where you store your configuration files. This path could be set to any mapped network drive or a shared OneDrive folder.The following files are read automatically from the directory that PTC_CREO_ALT_SETTINGS_PATH points to:◦config.pro◦config.sup◦creo_parametric_admin

I am looking for a way to search in a drawing for a table with the first cell has the content "Rev." and if this table is found, a new table should be added.Below script finds the table, but it seems my command table.InsertRow() seems to be failing.Can somebody help me?(The table has 4 columns, if this has any influence.) function addRowToRevTables(drawing) {    try {        // Get all tables in the drawing        var tables = drawing.ListTables();         for (var i = 0; i < tables.Count; i++) {            var table = tables.Item(i);             try {                // Get text from cell(1,1)                var cell = pfcCreate("pfcTableCell").Create(1, 1);                var mode = pfcCreate("pfcParamMode").DWGTABLE_NORM

I was trying my first Simulation in Creo Ansys Simulation, facing an issue during creation of mesh. I checked with multiple YouTube video but still I could get the solution."Material Some bodies or simulation objects in your modeldo not have a valid material type/elasticity model assigned."Please help me to resolve.  I am using Creo 10.0.7.0

Guten Tag,  Ich versuche gerade mithilfe des Generativen Designs ein Bauteil zu optimieren.Leider erzeugt Creo keine neue Geometrie. Es wird nur ein Bauteil erzeugt, das ausschließlich die beibehaltene Geometrie beinhaltet, zwischen diesen beiden Körpern wird keine Verbindung erstellt. Die Optimierung zeigt auch nur eine Zeit von 00:01. 

Hi, I am working on IFX custom library creation for my company.I have more than 1300 screws with 4-5 categories .I can not use dat files with category name and multiple parts from same category in the file. As i just dont have differentiation on Top category, i have different variations in sizes, lengths, then material, finish, drive types. I am now creating individual .dat file with info value placed in them showing part number, its size, length, material, finish, drive types.So, my top level category shows around 200 screws in one category dropdown,then each row shows, its name and other attributes. Is their any way we can add multiple options of dropdowns to select from, like length, or thread what we have. SO extra dropdowns for material, drive type. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.01、二维绘图下草绘和注释里“绘制组”命令的API是否有开放（功能开发需要）2、或者能否提供和设置组达到同等效果（绑定的对象可以一同操作）的且提供了API可用于开发的方法。

Hey I have a code to check if there is a family table in the part. This will in Creo 5 return the name of the instance if it ends with "flat" or "flat1"But in Creo 11 I get a fatal error.I thing it is because I don't have a Family table in the part.How can I check of the part have a Family table? FamilyMember familyMember = (Solid) model;FamilyTableRows familyTableRows = familyMember.ListRows();// Find if a flat version existtubefor (int i = 0; i < familyTableRows.getarraysize(); i++) {FamilyTableRow familyTableRow = familyTableRows.get(i);if (familyTableRow.GetInstanceName().contains("FLAT1")) flat_name = familyTableRow.GetInstanceName();else if (familyTableRow.GetInstanceName().contains("FLAT")) flat_name = familyTableRow.GetInstanceName();if (!"".equals(flat_name)) break;}

Hello all,   A question about drawings. Why hole axis are always orientend horizontal/vertical independently the way we created the holes ? On the capture below as you can see hole axis are always horizontal/vertical. I would like to have axis orientend like the view on the right but on the left view. Is it possible ? Thanks

I have imported a DXF file in CREO and thus created an extrude out of this DXF file, using the PROJECT function.To distinguish this from a regular CREO extrude, I will call this non-native CREO extrude a DXF-import extrude (for lack of a better name).If it already has a name I will stand corrected.  Anyway, this DXF-import extrude is impossible to work with.I am trying to make it accept a different color than the background, but it does not work with regular means -- this DXF-import extrude seems to be a surface that CREO cannot handle like any other extrude generated directly in CREO without an external import. Is there a way to make this DXF-import extrude behave?Maybe create another native CREO generated surface, identical with the DXF-import one and transparently on top of said DXF-import extrude, that would be more amenable to work with?I have attached the PNG file (source for DXF), the DXF file, the part file with the DXF-import extrude and two

HI, First time user of the GD&T advisor, trying to add a position tolerance to one half of a hole pair (for a shaft) and a second position tolerance to the second hole of the pair, A simplified version of my part is shown in the attached image. Currently running Creo 11.0.2.0 Hole was modelled as a single hole for both pairs. With the model setup like this I am unable to select either the right or left hole to assign a tolerance. Am I missing something here or is the only way to get this working by modelling this as 2 separate holes? Thanks 

I am working with Creo 8. I would like to implement a dialog with tree view in it. The tree has 3 columns. I have spent few of hours trying to understand API to create and populate tree. But not able to figure how to do it. With C++ I wasn't even able to add node to tree. With C I could add node but not able to figure how to add column. If anyone has tried this already I would appreciate the help in from of sample code. FWIW - For C I have following working code to add node -     auto status = ProUITreeColumnCreate("dialog_material_assign_assembly",                                        "MatAssignTree", nullptr, L"Test", 10,                                        PROUITREECOL_LEFT);    status = ProUITreeNodeInsert("dialog_material_assign_assembly", 

Whenever I stop working on creo for a period of time or the network pauses creo becomes unresponsive and shows as not responding - this happens quite often and the only way to fix it is to end the process in task manager and restart Creo.Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.

We have just installed Creo 11 in our office and have now found the it is stripping the Mapkey from the Config.pro files and placing them in the App data setting folder as a new Mapkey.pro.   This is a big problem for us....   We have multiple start up shortcut that point to different folder that has different Config.pro & search.pro files depending on the task we are working on, and each Mapkey in the config.pro points to a different file location to set the working directory.   I don't have a problem with the Mapkey being placed in a separate file, but I hope we have the option in the config file to point to a different location so we can mange the different options.   Peter

Hi, I want to understand what ways you have employed to distribute Creo Parametric config and setup files at an enterprise level to end users. We use SCCM to distribute / deploy base Creo Parametric application, but to distribute config and setup files, we use windows batch script that gets invoked once a day at end users' machines.  The setup files are kept at few regional servers (as repositories) and the batch script copies (robocopy, syncdirs) these files into the end user's device. We have not opted for packaging Config and setup files through SCCM as these files are changed or new files are introduced frequently.  And the need is to get them distributed as immediately as possible. Our requirements: Config and Setup files are maintained at one network location (mother repository).These files should be replicated to Regional specific repositories.The files then should be pushed from each Regional Repositories to end users located in respectiv

Hi, I've recently generated some geometry in Creo Parametric 11.0.0.0 on Windows 11, but I can't export it to a different file type for use in a different program. I've tried STEP and Parasolid filetypes, but both export as empty files. What is happening?Here's a photo of the file sizes, something is clearly wrong. Any help is appreciated! I attached the file to this post.
