Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello everyone, in our company we have a separate catalogue for standard parts like screws etc. Most of them are generated with Family tables (Example: M10 Screw --> Family Table for all different lengths). If we want to insert for example screws, we must download them manually from the server. Is there a possibility to have those tables directly implemented in Creo, like the Tables for the threads? Btw we don't use Windchill.   Do you use a similar system for standard parts or something different?  Have a nice day

You can import external CAD data from Creo.However, when the name of the external CAD data is more than 31 characters,There is an inconvenience that must be modified individually.Is there a way to change it within 31 characters in bulk?Or are there a possibility that the function will be added in the future?

Hello all   We have Creo 4.0 M130 and working on toolkit side.   I am aware that direct api which visits / collects all items in simp rep for assembly is not visiting all the items.... Items must be set as Either master or Exclude (only these two options) for api to work perfectly...   Concern is that designers set derived status as well for components of assembly for simp rep.... In this case , we obviously miss status of items which must be ignored or considered as item of simp rep.... Is there a way to achieve all the items which are active for a simp rep even though it might be set as excluded or master rep or derive status?   Feel free to ask for clarification if question is not clear.. thanks in advance...!    

Hi everyboby, I use gravity sketch on my oculus to create form, and export an OBJ file with the mesh. After, i want to convert this obj file to a solid in creo 5. I open the obj file, and export it to a shrinkwrap. and when it calculate, no surfaces is create. I don't know why sometime it work, and sometime doesn't.

Goodmorning everyone,I have installed Creo Parametric to a client on 2 PCs.It has a floating license and so I have installed the license manager LMADMIN on the server.When the server's firewall is active Creo is unable to take the license.What ports and files do I need to enable in the firwall for everything to work?Is there a document?Thanks,Matteo.

Hello ; We need a Post Processor for our 4 Axis HMC machine ( Hyundai Wia XH8000) with Fanuc 31i Model B control. CAM software is PTC Creo 7 .Please message me if you can help .

Hi, I have Logitech MX Master 3 mouse which in addition to 3 standard buttons (2 clicks and scroll) also has 3 macro buttons and roller (the other scroll). I'd like to assign these hotkeys to specific Creo features but the most important for me is to assign particular hotkey to the Creo "Windows" feature (in order to navigate between Creo tabs by mouse click). Is it possible to achieve this in Creo Parametric 6.0? Thank you in advance for each answer!

Hello, I am trying to document an existing oil tank in Creo to manufacture a new on with some modifications.  The existing tank is fabricated from two pieces of aluminum welded together with no compound curves.  Neither piece is stretched or shrunk, they just have equal perimeters and are welded together. I templated the existing tank surfaces manually (posterboard), scanned them, and traced them in 2-d cad to generate the shapes of the existing tank.  I built one with posterboard, and it works as far as replicating the existing tank.  To make the new tank I want to have Creo models for visualization and fabrication. What is the easiest way to attack this in Creo?  I have never started with a flat part and worked into a formed part, always the other way around.  I have roughly solid modeled the part and converted to sheet metal (shell, .050" thick), but it does not like it when I try to flatten it.  All of my sheet metal design has been straight

Hello all, Thanks for looking into my problem. I noted this while working with flange. Image "1" is a simple planar and then i created a flange(refer to image "2"), which is a flange wall. Then when i add another flange to both the walls (refer to image "3"), the flanges are connecting in some area. I've marked that area in black.  I cannot remove it using miter tab and the edge treatment tab is greyed out. Please help me out Thanks in advance

Hello;      I'm trying to insert a flow chart that didn't come in when imported a dxf into a Creo drawing. If I try object, create from file, I get just Ole Ebbedded over a small rectangle that says FlowChart-NC.bmp. I think the answer is through the object create new, but then I'm not sure how to create the flow chart image on the spot. Anyway any help is greatly appreciated, in that I'm a SolidWorks user, just trying for the end game of out putting a CGM file.   Thanks, in advance for any input. Rob_D

Hello! Maybe someone have experience in customizing ISO welding symbols from PTC? I mean symbols with better look and more close to current standards. With minor changes, for example. I'm not expert in ISO weld and not need to use this type of weld in permanent basis. But will be glad to see what other have in this area. Any body can share ISO welding symbols for Creo Welding application? or Images to understand what kind of customization is possible.  

Per the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard Figure  3-4 (see below) a datum feature can be attached to a midplane. All my attempts only allow a Datum Feature to be linked to a surface. I can add additional references, and include the plane, but ideally, the datum feature would only be linked to a plane. Is it possible to do this in Creo 7.0?

Hello everyone Could someone confirm me that the units used to describe SRS function are the units of the model (i.e. mm, gram, sec) ? Thank you

The Creo Product Management team acknowledges the additive manufacturing industry has been quickly evolving and many of our customers are moving beyond prototyping and into final part production. Based on that, you may be aware that we have been working over the past releases of Creo to support this transition through robust additive manufacturing software. A lot of these efforts were made possible thanks to constant feedback from our users that helped drive our product. On that note, we’re currently seeking feedback specific to additive manufacturing in order to validate our assumptions and strengthen our pipeline for the next several releases. We would like to hear from you as we plan to build a better product and experience, please use the link below to answer the survey:   PTC Additive Manufacturing Survey.

To all,   I want to do an analysis with symmetry. I have a solid model with the 2 DTMs for the symmetry. What is the best way of “splitting” the model to have the faces required to apply the symmetry conditions? to start with I simply did a ‘Extrude feature/Remove material’ thus ending up with a cut model with the faces needed Is this the only way to do it?   Thanks

Hello All,   I would like to create automation of fasteners and bolts according to holes IFX still not search a holes automatically we need to select each axis or plane. IFX customization is not possible ,but i am thinking with the use of VBi scripts the things we can handle so that through a specific UDF goal can be achievable. or  anyone help me to develop IFX type of script , can we change the user interface of IFX . Can you share your VBi scripts or knowledge to develop that UDF.

Anyone have an example of a restricted values file with units?  I have tried formatting my file using the <quantity type> and <units> as shown in https://support.ptc.com/help/archive/creo40/creo_pma/usascii/index.html#page/fundamentals%2Ffundamentals%2Ffund_seven_sub%2FSyntax_for_Creating_a_Restriction_Defi_File.html%23.  I'm still on Creo 2, so maybe it is not supported.

Dear all, I meet with a terrible problem with opening files in Creo Parametric. When I create a part or assembly on one computer and synchronized it to another computer with Onedrive. The file of the part couldn't be seen in Creo open file window. If I copy these files to another address in the system. The files will appear in Creo. However, this is not applicable to deal with many files.  I'd like to ask if there's any solution to this problem. Thanks for your time. Kind Regards SZ

I, I'm having problems while open some parts, that wer drawn in context of an assembly. When I open the master assembly it runs ok. But when I open the isolated part, there is a lot of features that fails, after regeneration task. The ones that fails are some reference patterns, and features that have been created in context of the master assembly. I think it fails, because they aren't loaded.   But I need to send this file (only this file) to a collegue, and I need him to open it, and do some work on it. How can i do it, without any problem with regeneration? Any config option?   See video.

Hello, I am writing to ask you how to handle the following situation: We created the suspension assembly of the car using the structure of the moving skeletons (there is a first skeleton, which Creo calls "Design Skel" which contains all the references and then a series of other skeletons, which Creo calls "Body Skel" , which represent all bodies with their kinematic constraints). (see image 1)The suspension components are then rigidly mounted on the relative skeleton (e.g. the hub carrier assembly was assembled with the skeleton references C9TR_02_01_LH_HUB_CARRIER_SKEL.PRT). To govern the movement of the assembly we use the stroke of the shock absorber, defined as a parameter (for the front suspension we also have the translation of the steering rack). (see image 2) The parameters are used to modify the length of the shock absorber and thus to realize the movement of the assembly. (see image 3) The problem with this solution is that we do not know how to "animate" the parameters, or

Everything we have done all our existence has been in mm's.  Because Dual Dimensioning doesn't know how to work correctly if you start with mm, I'm at a loss as to how to get a new drawing template that is in Inches.  Some of it is that I have not created drawing templates in years and when I try to create a blank drawing to start my template, it wants to put all of my parameters as drawing parameters since there is no model to reference. I guess it is two questions.... 1. How do I create a template that has a border that keeps the parameters?  2. How do I create a template that is now in inches when everything else is mm?   This is all because of needing to do dual dimensioning with mm and inches where the inches are in fractions and mm are decimals.  Per PTC support, only way to do this is if inches is the primary and mm are secondary.

Every time I make an explode line it is a coin flip whether it goes wonky or not. Even with the same pick points from drawing to drawing. I would like to know if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong. I am trying to make them go up, over and then up again. There are 4 spots where kep nuts are located to slots on the part. I have picked axis to axis, axis to surface and surface to surface and tried several different spots for when I pick. Sometimes I get 2 lines that are correct, other times I get only one correct line and more often than not they are all screwy.What I have been doing is once I put in the explode line, I got to a side view and edit the line and add jog sections and adjust it as needed. It is a major pain.

How do I go about importing copper artwork into Pro-E? I am using Cadence Allegro for board layout. I can easily open the board file in Creo View, but I can't figure out how to add the copper in our 3D model.   I've seen the youtube video and it seems pretty straightforward, but the only way I've been able to create a .eda file is using Creo View. I can't get it to export anything other than vias. There must be some other way.  Please don't tell me to use a dxf.    Thanks
