Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello All   Does someone know what is the Gpost Code (programming) to get a parameters from the NC Sequence and convert in a NC code?   I would like to take the parameter FLASH_TOOL  YES or NO and insert the position on the Spindle on the CNC program.   For example If I created a NC sequence with the parameter FLASH_TOOL  YES on the code on my CNC program has to be  M111 M19 S900 M110   If I created a NC sequence with the parameter FLASH_TOOL  NO on the code on my CNC program has to be  M111 M19 S2700 M110   If you prefer could you send me this answer on my e-mail. cristiano.afarelli@bakerhughes.com   That will help me a lot   Thanks   

I am using Creo Parametric 5.0 5.0.2.0Dear sirs,We implemented an application for Creo Parametric and we added a ribbon to contain all our commands. So far so good, everything works. We have changed some of the icons (made them transparent) and now i wanted to use the new icons in Creo Parametric too. But whatever i tried (double/triple/quadruple checked that the correct icons where loaded, completely removed our UI-customization and tried to rebuild it from scratch) some icons simply refuse to appear transparent. I say some because i have two icons which work but the others don't... I am completely out of ideas what do do now. Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks a lot for your assistance!Regards,Christoph Spielmann

Newbie here, I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this (apparently, I do not have access to any other area to create a new topic).Let us say I have two parts: a plate with three threaded holes (PLATE.prt.1), and a screw (SCREW.prt.1).When I assemble these parts together, I will set up the PLATE.prt.1 as default, and I will assemble three SCREW parts in it.The Model Tree to the left of the screen will show PLATE at the top, and underneath three SCREW parts, all having the same name (I have put together a Minimal Working Example file).I want to change the Model Tree to show:PLATE- LEFT_SCREW- CENTER_SCREW- RIGHT_SCREW(or whatever naming convention the system allows) -- please see image attached.Can I do that in CREO 3.0 or do I have to duplicate the SCREW part file in three distinct files, and then assemble them as different parts?I just want to know if there is a possibility to give the same part, used repeatedly, a different name under CREO assembly Model Tree.Or m

I'm trying to create a Spot Weld in CREO 2.0.  I've created the Datum Point... but I can't select it for my Location. 

RSD Users!   The below matrix says that, CS 4.0 is interoperable with Creo 7 parametric. What it means if we use different PLM (Teamcenter) other than Windchill? How this will impact us?   - We are using Creo Schematics 3, Creo 4 Parametric with Teamcenter PLM Planning to upgrade Creo 7. - Parametric Any impact on Creo Schematics 3? Do we necessarily need to migrate to CS 4 or CS 7?   Thanks, Ramesh

Hello,   This is my first time using Pro/Program, and my intent is to change out a series of sub-assemblies depending on my inputs.   The main problem I'm running into is that these sub-assemblies mate to each other end-to-end and will drive the overall length of the assembly. I can calculate where my sub-assemblies SHOULD end up if I were to mate them the old fashioned way, but because not every iteration of this assembly will include all of the sub-assemblies, I can't because I'll end up suppressing some and un-suppressing others.   What I would like to do is make an assembly with ALL my sub-assemblies in it, use Pro/Program to suppress the ones I'm not using, and define a length constraint I can calculate to position my sub-assemblies accordingly.   I've never seen an example of constraint manipulation through Pro/Program, so I'm really hoping somebody can help me out here.   Thanks

I'm building a Jlink app. I need that, the Jlink app run a specific macro in the middle of my code. First I need to select a part to show a layer of the selected part. It's working fine! Then I need to run a macro, doing the session.RunMacro function. And it also works, then after this, i need to continue my code, and do some other actions. But don't understand why, but all of the jlink actions are running in sequence, the session.RunMacro is ignored, and executed, only at the end of my code! I would need this to be executed when I need to be executed.   Any idea?

Hi folks,   I'm new to j-link. Could somebody explain what is wrong in my code?? why OnCommand method doesn't show message window??thx in advance for all help.

How to list the files from the other workspaces (i.e. from all the Workspaces which are not loaded in the session) from windchill using JLink?

Is there a way to add tables to a combination state?  Tables that can hold information

Whenever I start a new part and sketch, my initial sketched lines start at lengths of 132000" for example. I'm primarily designing parts no larger than 50" in length.   While this is an easy fix, there are times were I sketch out a complicated shape only to realize that it's completely out of scale. Is there a way to change the range/scale of initial sketch sizes?

Hello, Has anyone had the issue of the BOM balloon quantities changing when an assembly or drawing is checked in? The total quantity does not change for a given find number, but Creo redistributes the quantities of certain find numbers whenever I save and check in a drawing or assembly. I can redistribute the quantities back to what I want them to be but if I have to make another change to the drawing or assembly, the quantities jump around again upon saving.   Does this make sense? Has anyone had this happen? Is there a fix for it?

Hi all,   Currently, Creo ModelCHECK only supports checks for a few data types: Design Assemblies Solid Parts Sheetmetal parts Drawings This leaves many other subtypes (e.g. bulk parts, harness parts, interchange assemblies, mold layout assemblies, etc.) that are not able to be checked.   Can you please comment with the subtypes that would be most beneficial to you/your organization if ModelCHECK supported them?   Thanks!   Luke

Hello,   I have DXF file that always crashes my system when trying to import it.  I can get past the "Import New Model" dialogue and the "Import DXF" dialogue only to have the system register a fatal error.  It states "Memory Error" in the status bar and then yields a Fatal Error box pops up.  This is a machine with 64GB of ram so I find it really hard to believe that I am actually running out of memory...   If I try to import the same file on a colleagues computer it has no problem importing the file...   Any suggestions on how to fix this issue or where to start looking are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

hello   I need some steps for unbend a part model and create flattpattern for this. i try to reconstruct radius but i'dont know if is the right way to unbend because the part dont convert to sheetmetal How can i identify radius without same thiskness features of the part ?   Please some advices    Thank you for support

Does anyone use intent surface type of datum reference feature?   During its creation, one has option to use the collection rule "all surfaces tangentially connected to the seed surface", which would be extremely handy: Now, I could swear I was able to select this feature in the model tree when specifying the surface sets for publishing:   But this doesn't work now (did it ever?). I found that if I name this intent reference, then I can build a search query to find all surfaces that comprise this intent surface-quilt-thing.  I can even save this query inside the pub-geom feature, and obviously this works way better than manually selecting tangentially-connected surfaces.   However, it would be even better if there was a way to directly reference the intent surface in the published geometry - as the query method does seem to require that the query be (manually) updated if my part geometry changes.   If anyone has any tips or insights, it would be greatly appr

I have a part file and a drawing file. I have extensive dimensions on the drawing but need one with more basic dimensions so I do a save as and rename a copy. I delete the dimensions not needed on the copy, save and print it. The problem is that the original drawing no longer shows the dimensions that were deleted on the copy. Stranger more is that when opening the original drawing the preview shows the missing dimensions.    This has happened in both Creo 3 and 5 on 2 different computers one multiple file sets. 

Showing motion has been a challenge....Those that are familiar with solidworks probably know configurations and using constraints to demenstrate positions of cylinders and such.  From what I can understand there are what seems to be the equivalant of advanced constraints that allow motion.  My issue is for whatever reason it seems like certain constaints or patterns of components fully constrain my model.  Things that I guess I am use to using in solidworks and inventor that would not.  The other issue I am having is for whatever reason my subassembies seem to allow me to click and drag cylinders.  Then the next day or next time I reopen them they do not.  This is extremely frusturating.   We are using creo 4

I found a posting that showed how to find a component ID using a search tool. How do you get this tool to "pop-up"?   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Analysis/Search-a-part-by-it-s-ID/m-p/377183   Thanks, Dale

If I make an extruded surface, creo 7 automatically hides the geometry and greys out the feature in the tree. To use the newly created feature, I first have to unhide it.  Same goes for sketched curves. Does anyone know the config option to turn this off?

Dear Creo user, i have question regarding interpretation of my results i got from a Dynamic Shock analysis in Creo 4.0 m120. I was also getting sth similar in Creo 5. Can anybody tell me from where such "corrugated" results may be coming? I am using here shell elements for each component. The modal analysis shows some modes and everything is ok (photo, right side). When i run the shock analysis with a defined by me spectral acceleration, modal combination SRSS, the result is as in the left part of the photo.  so far my observations are as follow: - when i use the default Uniform spectral values the result is "smooth" - when i run this assembly with its parent everything is ok - tried once to run with the supports having solid elements and the results were ok. I don't think it is a matter of shell/solids. It looks like the flat areas would be getting some extra waves as mode for the area itself, but it doesnt make sense as the modal analysis doesnt show such modes.    Any

I am trying to get both the quantity and the description to populate my table reports when using ANSI-English hardware. My QTY column is set to rpt.qty. I have a column labeled asm.mbr.description. It is a great product and easy to use and would like to have all my users use it.  

Hi,   Is there any data, that gives user the MTBF of certain release of CREO? For example, will 6.0.4 have as MTBF simillar to CREO 4.0 M140? I would like to understand, where i can found the balance between stability

Probably a bit of a newbie question but I am looking to have an assembly level parameter(s) that would define what instance of a part is used in the assembly.   Example of the use might be a piping selecting a pipe flange on a vessel. The flange part itself is driven by a family table and it is mated to a piece of pipe which is in turn mated to a vessel. I could replace the flange and pipe manually but I want to also drive multiple parts with one parameter change, i.e. I would like to set a parameter to select a 6" flange and have the flange part select the appropriate instance based on the parameter. This parameter would also update the pipe part, the hole in the vessel and the BOM on the drawing.

Hello   I hope one cannot rename balloon note in drawing. It's name is auto generated and not in control of user. However, I could see different nomenclature for balloon note. One having prefix as balloon note and others having prefix as balloon_note. See attached image for reference.   Actually my sole purpose of this query is to identify balloon note from name of the note using toolkit API. However I just want to confirm that this name is not in user's control (only Creo internal is giving this name) and will have always name as balloon_note or balloon note.
