Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hey everyone So I currently have Creo simulate 7.0 installed on my PC. So I wanted to download the older version (6.0). When I try to insert the license that I already have and open creo simulate 6.0 it doesn't work and I can't import or use it ( all of the icons are faded at the top) How can I solve this issue ? Thanks in advance

Hi All, I would like to automatically select all the surfaces (1,2,3,4) between two highlighted surfaces ( 1 & 4 , See attached image) in creo. The thing is I don't want to select all four surfaces individually. Is there any command or any way where I need to select only 1st and 4th surface and creo would select all surfaces in between automatically? Your help would be highly appreciated.

Does anyone know how to reference hole callout in hole table? Something like this (this is real hole table with manually filled HOLE DESC column using hole callout notes): Also, is it possible to have leader line automatically pop-up when hole number text moves away from hole in view? Pool: Do you use hole table in Creo or not?

Hi, I'm new to the ptc creo and I'm trying to use the extrude option while in an assebly and the idea is to extrude from one part till the surface of the next as shown below with the green lines. The extrude is from the casing let's say, to the cylinder, however, it doesn't seem to be visible. I've added the extrude to the part, but it's still not visible. Can you please help? 

Sometimes, when creating an assembly drawing, some components show up in Pink or Purple. These, no matter if there is something in front of them in the view, will show in the drawing (screen and  pdf).   The item in pink is parametric, not a dumb solid. Is there any root cause for this to happen?          

Hi   I'd like to know "Erase Witness Line" control option from config.   please look at image   witness line is delete active. i'd like to how to know unactive it.

I have a 20 conductor cable that goes from an over molded connector to a board mount connector   the cable is stripped at a strain relief, and the individual wires come out of the cable over to the board mount connector   I have the network going from where the strain relief is up to the overmolded connector   I have my logic setup but it just will not automatically route the wire:   !

I have been using external copy geometry that seems to keep moving/shifting within the top level assembly. I've been using sweeps for cable runs and use ext. copy geom to reference parts of the top lvl assy in the cable run assy. Often times after I finish a cable run, save, check-in, and come back to the top lvl later. the cables have mysteriously moved or shifted on their own. I also notice that some of the external copy geoms. move or shift within the top lvl assy. Why is this happening? I'm assuming because an external copy geom is no longer attached/referenced to the top lvl assy. if the referenced part form the top lvl were to be updated/changed/moved etc. that could be the issue. The thing is, I know for a fact that some of the parts I'm externally referencing have not been touched and yet the ext. copy geom. seems to move or shift when I see it in the top lvl. These cable runs take a while to create and having to keep going in and update change them is quite time consuming. Any

I want to add portion of main assembly name into repeat region for each member:     FIXTURE=extract(asm_name,8,5) DETAIL=FIXTURE + '-' + itos(rpt_index)     For parts it works as expected: 01-01-1, 01-01-2, etc The problem is that "asm_name" in repeat region relations returns value for sub-assembly name which exists in main assembly: S_160-5, S_160-6. If I place "asm.name" under QTY column everything is as expected. DET column gets values from relation: rpt.rel.DETAIL What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I installed the student edition of CREO 6. I wanted to add a RMS Threaded Hole in a part. There is only three choices : ISO, UNC and UNF. So I searched through Google. It landed me on a page and on a YouTube video explaining how to create a text file with a ".hol" filetype. It is a plain text file which describe all the parameters of the custom hole. This file is to be placed at the following file structure : C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 6.0.2.0\Common Files\text\hole.  Then, it is necessary to add the file in the "path" as follow : File > Options > Configuration Editor > Find... I did all of that, it doesn't work! I don't see the new thread in the list for the hole feature. Is that because it is a student edition? Is that because I do something wrong? I attached the ".hol" file to this posting. Thanks, Joel 

Dear all Can I add color to table cell in CREO drawing ? Thanks BR

There is a method CopyFileToWS where one can specify a model to which a file will be copied as attachement (secondary content). What is a correct way to execute opposite action - to download a secondary content from a model? I can't see any notice in documentation / examples. The method CopyFileFromWS takes a file path, but what is a correct path format to a secondary content file? Or is there another function to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

I am new in the world of modelcheck. I have read a bunch of articles about this theme on the creo support website, but still dont really know how to start this whole from the begining.   Firstly i have set my config.pro option yes for MC, and given a location for my MC optionfolder. Afterthat I have enabled MC at MC_ENABLED option, but still when I am trying to make an MC Interactive it sais that MC is disabled.   Thanks. Levente

Hello,   Could someone please create 3 views (in 2D) with the most important dimensions and save them as an image file? Thank you so much. You will find two stemps in the dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y4ax9gu0ztj0zd8/AACDJ8a1LF16MtDmHUyax2D9a?dl=0   Best regards matpow

I downloaded Creo 7.0 by HTTPs in this link: PTC Academic Program - Free Download PageAfter this i unzip MED-100WIN-CD-440_7-0-2-0_Win64, the program installer don't install CREO 7.0.0. I followed all the instructions. When I run the Setup.exe it starts to load but it stops quickly. I tried install creo 6.0 too and have the same issue. Looking at the windows problem reports show this error.

Hello,   In Windows 10, if you maximize Creo's window and move it to the second monitor, the screen will appear white. (CREO 4.0 M120, Creo 6.0.3.0 occurred)This problem does not occur on all PCs.I use the same hardware (DELL T3360), and the installation location and the config I use are the same.The same DVI cable used for the monitor.   PTC has reported this problem in SPR9604897, but the Status is Closed.The customer must switch windows through Windows + D or F11 to resolve the white display.This is very inconvenient.   Please let me know if there is an appropriate action on this issue.our attempts are reinstalling the graphics card driver, reinstalling Creo, and using graphics as the win32_gdi option.But the result is the same.   Can anyone please tell me what to do.   Thanks, Warm Regards, SeonHo Cha

I would like to see all the edges in solid geometry but I see that the color for edges when in wireframe is white which is a terrible contrast for a white background.I've searched config options under display.  I've also searched all the other areas of the Options setup.This must be easily done, but I have no clue where to find this.

Hi everyone, I wanted an opinion about the best practice for annotating models that were generated using top-down techniques.  So I see there is a potential to publish annotations in the master skeleton model and then copy-geom these annotations for use with design and documentation of the target parts.   Typical scenario would be if I wanted to share the hole pattern and its dimensions across various models. The copy geom mechanism does this quite well and I have a sketched point pattern that can be propagated as a reference pattern in the target parts.  However, dimensioning the locations of the holes in the multiple target parts would be a waste of time if I could simply "show" the dimensions from the master model on the part's drawing (or part's MBD combination state).   But it doesn't seem to work very well, in my opinion (Creo 4).  It seems the annotations have to be specifically tied to the copied geometry otherwise they will not be added to the pub-geom

Hello PTC Community,   I need help with something I am trying to do in my drawing. I am using Creo 6.0.Let me start by describing what I am trying to achieve. I have an anodized sheet of aluminum that gets cut and then has an engraving operation done in the middle of the part to show a patterned design, a logo, and text. This is done with a laser which requires a DXF file as an input.I have the outside geometry defined by the part, which will become a tool path for the laser to cut. In the middle of the part I have a sketch showing an array of rectangles, a sketch showing an elaborate logo, and another sketch with basic text (using Creo font font3d). All of these features need to be filled which I have done except for the text as I cannot get the text to fill. In the part I filled the other two features using the "Fill" feature from the surface menu. These need to be filled because this is how the laser knows to remove the area inside the defining geometry and not just the outline

Hi, is it possible to change the material in the operation setup with a parameter? I attach photos.   Thanks

i'm busy working on a drawing and the section in the part are labelled sensible names so i know what they are. however in the drawing i want to use standard letter convention. does anyone know how to set this up? thanks

Hi, I have difficult to define a surface/volume regione at 3D part with cylindrical geometry For example ( in attached file), I would like to apply a bearing load on a surface regione ugual to sum of width of two bearings. can you help me about it?   Thank you.   Have a nice day    

  Hi Creo users,   I have a 3D model part and I have created a sectional view (still in part mode i.e. View- Section- X Direction).   Can I create a sketch (.sec) out of the sectional view I created above?   Your input would be appreciated.   Thank you   Sandy

I want to create a hole table for the top view and another one for the bottom view, independent hole table in the same sheet. Is this possible? I tried but didn't work...

Hello Community,   I need some help with my DXF export.  I have a client who is requesting a DXF of a part which also includes a sketch.  Long story short there is a part profile and then some additional information contained in a sketch for the part.  The sketch contains locating geometry for manufacturing purposes.  The problem I am having is when I export the data to a DXF all of the information contained in the sketch is blurry or muted.  The detail around the physical part is clear and scales properly when I zoom in.   Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on and how I may fix the DXF export?   Thanks, Mike
