Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I've devised a milling sequence which will make my part, but I would like what I've done criticized for my choice, and sequence, of methods. I would post an image of the part and then list sequence ie. mill window, face, rough, profile, finish and include tool choice. Cycle time is not really an issue, but I guess I worry that what I'm doing may not be best. CNC Mill is a Sherline 2000 running under LinuxCNC.  I did the Post with GPOST and it has worked fine with other parts.   If this is reasonable to ask, how should I post my topic?

Why is it not available for download on https://support.ptc.com/appserver/auth/it/esd/index.jsp? Or is it related to a limitation on my account?

Hello you Pro-E usersIs it possible to make a hole with Gassthreads G1/2 (14/")I work with Pro-E windchill 5 and have no colleges to ask it to.Greetings from BelgiumChris

I have a round feature that is throwing a geometry check when modeling the same underlying geometry created differently. The round appears to be there and accurate visually. I am looking for an explanation of the root cause of this error. This is a simplification of a much more complex model that includes the same geometry. The production model uses a mirror part geometry as only half the part is explicitly modeled. This is the only geom check in the model and I have not been able to get rid of it. I have tried datum reference surfaces for the mirrored boss but that did not resolve the error. Does anyone have any insight into why this error is generated?   1) Both models (Creo 4) use the same absolute accuracy and are included here for reference 2) Both models share geometry that is congruent 3) Only the model that mirrors the 180 degree revolve feature throws the error (mirr_part_geom_check.prt)   The error is:   Set cannot be constructed on the highlighted pair of surf

Hi Guys,   Using Creo 7.0.2.0 and EMX 13.    When I create a moldbase using EMX, and accept it, It creates a Style State VIS001, which is always wire frame. This is driving me nuts.    Anyone know how to stop this from happening?   I don't want any new style states created.    Creo 3 and EMX 9 did not do this at all.    Thanks, Jay

I have the need to toggle some sketch dimensions to either driven or driving automatically based on a parameter. Can this be done in Creo? I am new to Creo so any responses would be greatly appreciated. I can easily do this in Inventor (which is what I normally use) so I would assume it could somehow be done in Creo.

hello, i need some information, which module is best adapted to design parts for 3d printing? I thought about creo direct but I don't know exactly its potential.   Thanks

I'm trying to create my own Creo Assembly Interference menu because of the gaps in the Creo Global Interference Analysis - Exclude Skeletons and Other Improvements. I've got it working pretty well except when the user rotates the model the highlighted models and/or interference will not stay highlighted when the user rotates or zooms the 3D Creo model. The out of the box Creo Interference Analysis is able keep things highlighted while moving the 3D model.   For the VB API, is there a way to keep the models/interferences highlighted while the user moves the model?   Here's the VB example PTC provides: 'Analyzing Interference'======================================================================'Function : showInterferences'Purpose : This function finds the interference in an assembly, ' highlights the interfering surfaces, and calculates ' the interference volume. '======================================================================Public Sub showInterferences(ByRe

Hi, I'm working on an Excel VBA tool that imports a lot of pvz files into Creo and saves them as .asm's. Works like a charm when I do this by hand (obviously, these are not real CAD models but facet geometry). If I run the code below, I get a Type Mismatch error on te line starting with Set Model = session.ImportNewModel... The weird thing is Creo actually imports the pvz, because if I do File > Open > In Session, I can see and open my example asm (testjaap.asm). Does anyone know how I can get the model opened?? I tried all kinds of things, but nothing works so far... Thnx!Jaap code: Sub import_pvzs()Dim asynconn As New pfcls.CCpfcAsyncConnectionDim conn As pfcls.IpfcAsyncConnectionDim session As pfcls.IpfcBaseSessionDim model As IpfcModelSet conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5)Set session = conn.sessionSet model = session.ImportNewModel("C:\local\test_buildassyfromtextfile_transformation_matrix\TEST_ASSY_A0120069, Box Packer\A0133910, CRASH CAMS - Cabinet Module.pvz", EpfcNew

hi   I am getting a model save error while i am saving the simulate model. any solutions

Hi guys, I did a resolve for my main body and in the sketch, I make it as a cone, as shown in the picture. But after the model is completed, it does not become a cone, instead it has a flat surface rather than a pointy shape.

Hi Everyone,   What is the function of the references collector in the Geometric Tolerance ribbon?  I would have thought it controlled the attachment of the geotol but that is done through the "change reference" command available when the tolerance is selected.  Picture attached showing the specific button I am talking about.   Thanks! Brian

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask you how to couple two plates in a mechanism. As you can see in the attached image, my intention is to move plate 1 and make it so that when I touch plate 2, it moves downwards accordingly. It's possible? Thanks, Matteo.

Hi everyone, I have a customer who created an assembly with parts that have different units of measure. Is there a way to know the unit of measurement of all the parts without having to open them one by one? Another thing: once I know what they are, is there a way to change the unit of measurement of these parts without doing it one by one? Thanks, Matteo.

Hi guys.   We have some old mapkeys, and I am trying to update/ optimize them.   I've made a ton of map keys with no problems, but for some reason I cannot get this to work.    I want to make a map key that creates a datum point, then open up a UDF.  The map key runs the datum point, but does not open the UDF.  Does it need a pause somewhere?   If i make 2 seperate mapkeys, each one will work indipendantly, but i want them in one mapkey. I know I can have a mapkey call up mulitple mapkeys, but i'd like to get this to work without making a bunch of individual mapkeys. (I have a TON of older mapkeys that i want to update that are all pretty similar to this one. )   mapkey test @MAPKEY_NAMEcreates point /runs udf 2 plns;\mapkey(continued) @MAPKEY_LABELcreates point /runs udf 2 plns;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdDatumPointGeneral` ;@PAUSE_FOR_SCREEN_PICK;\mapkey(continued) ~ Trigger `Odui_Dlg_00` `t1.OffsetRefsTable` 2 `DuMmY` `c1`;\mapkey(cont

there appears to be something wrong in my Gpost Config.  The NCL clearly shows the first feed rate, but the posted ngc is missing it.  seems likely to be a problem in gpost. Mine is a simple 3-axis FANUC post modified to work with LinuxCNC which is the controller for my little mill.  Where would you look for this problem?   The NCL File: $$* Pro/CLfile Version 7.0 - 7.0.0.0$$-> MFGNO / BALDEHOLDER3PARTNO / BALDEHOLDER3$$-> FEATNO / 15355MACHIN / UNCX01, 33$$-> CUTCOM_GEOMETRY_TYPE / OUTPUT_ON_CENTERUNITS / INCHESLOADTL / 6$$-> CUTTER / 0.092000$$-> CSYS / 1.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, $0.0000000000, 1.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, $0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 1.0000000000, 0.0000000000SPINDL / RPM, 2600.000000, CLWFEDRAT / 3.000000, IPMGOTO / 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 1.0000000000GOTO / 0.6750000000, 0.8718272424, 0.1250000000CYCLE / DEEP, DEPTH, 0.192640, STEP, 0.009200, IPM, 3.000000, CLEAR,$0.006000, RETURN, 0.

Hi everyone, I drew a sktech in part and created a family table to define dimensions for instances. Sketch geometry have been created differently in some instances. Do you know why? Can we define boundaries for geometries to keep them inside? I have attached images.

I've searched for a solution for this but found none so I thought I would ask this question again.   In a drawing view that uses a 2D section, the cross hatching for parts disappears when z-clipping is turned on.   Does anybody know why and is there a work around?   Thanks,   Steve

I want to add a datum B to the .813 diameter dimension to start my hole sequence. How can I add this datum?I was able to add datum A to the surface shown below without any issues.

Hi,  We have recently rolled out Creo 7.0 but have found an issue where students cannot seem to access the bom_description_down.tbl file so they dont get to create a bill of materials.   (Please excuse my ignorance of terminology, im just the school network manager, i dont know much on how to use CAD).   Thinking it might be a permission issue i tried every combination of secuirty settings i could think of and even made a test student local admin of the machine but still he could not access this file. Is this something anyone has ever seen before?  Screenshot shows the teachers account who can see the file. Thanks

Hello all,    My work recently upgraded to CREO Parametric 7.0, and I am also completely new to CREO and the job. I have been trying to create a 3D pdf for an assembly. The created pdf file is massive, close to 23 MB. I open the file with Adobe and my work computer cannot seem to handle it.    I found an old solution that suggesting decreasing the Shade Quality, which I did, but the file only got reduced to about 21 MB. The pdf is still unusable.    All I really need is to create a 3D pdf file that shows a 360 view of the assembly. A file that can be viewed without the need of a fancy super-computer.    Is there any way to fix this issue? To reduce the file?   Am I doing something wrong? I got to SaveAs, and select PDF U3D. I have played with the little amount of export settings that are available, but nothing.    Thanks in advance

please look at image   B image is unhide   when i changed config.pro(basic), graphics looks good   which option of config.pro modify?
