Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi Guys,   We are a mold design shop. Making molds for the plastic industry. Mostly small medical and consumer parts.    We currently spend an awful amount of time, making exploded views of our molds opening and closing, slides, lifters etc moving in and out.. etc etc.    There must be a better, more efficient way of doing this? Are there any other Mold design shops on here? What are you guys using to show mold open and close, and parts moving? I'm looking for a way that is quick and easy to do, and easy to modify.    What sucks about making exploded views for each phase of the mold opening, is there is no way to measure how much you have things moving (unless you make a drawing of the exploded view)  You also cannot easily change to a different value. Once you move it in exploded view in one axis, you have no way of knowing how much it was moved (unless you make a drawing)..or remember how far you moved something.   Just looking for some id

Hello community,   I have created a UDF with some pro/PROGRAM customizations like interchange of some parts and feature conditioned suppressing. I sometimes get an error when I place it through a mapkey:   impossible to integrate pro/program to the group; proceed without pro/program? and it asks me to confirm or cancel.   I can't reproduce the error in a reliable way so I'm wondering what could cause it.   Thanks

 

Hello,   I want to replace the model of a drawing view. I find a function "ProDrawingSolidReplace" which will replace all the model. Is there a function can replace the model in a single view?     Thanks  

Hello,How can we simulate in creo simulation 6.0 the spillage of a beam, for example a HEB 200 on two supports.With my thanks.Denis

I have updated to M140 from M110 but whenever I attempt to open any file (.asm or .prt), it instantly pops up a fatal error.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times with no luck.  When operating with M110, I experienced no issues.  My other users were all able to upgrade to M140 and have had no issues opening the exact same files I have attempted to open. Anyone experienced anything similar?

Hi, I need to model a kind of rule with dimensions engraved. So, a basic repetition can extrude graduations (@ each centimeter, for example). However, is it possible to repeat a text ? ie 01, 02, 03...19, 20 Can this text be drive by repetition ? If not, I should extrude 20 texts and manually enter values.  Thanks

It's a general problem, but to explain it, I made this assembly ("ASM_A"): In sub-assembly B, there are two Flanges (Placement: "Flange-2 on Flange-1") In assembly A, there is a assembly cut (It dosen't really matter what you cut). Now go to Flange-2 and change the distance between the holes ("mod dim Flange-2")   You can regenerate the model, but it won't fail (even if you can see that it doesn't fit anymore). Now close the assemblys and erase them. If you open up ASM-A, it will still regenerate. Only if you open ASM-B before ASM-A, regeneration will fail.   This is a problem, i can't be sure if my assembly is clean if it doesn't regenerate.   Can anyone reproduce this? And do you know what one can do against it?   Thx   Edit: My problem is the regeneration of the placement of the flanges. Because of the assembly cut in A.asm, it seems that Creo doesn't regenerate the Placement properly.  --> I can make the Placement undoable (changing distance between

Hi,   I have a UI created for OTK application. There is button which when pressed allows user to select a face which will be processed later. We use pfcSession->select() for selection. Once selection is done, user presses middle click to complete the selection.   User requirement- When selection of the face is completed, by pressing 'Ok'/middle click, I want to stop any further redundant selection. Selection should happen only when pfcSession->select() is On.   Please help.   Thanks  

Does anyone know how to make a feature note with a leader behave like a dimension? Ultimately I would like to either change the attachment of the standard hole feature note, or create my own feature with its respective "Setup Note - Feature" placed to behave like a dimension (in the 3D model, not the drawing). This needs to be part of the feature, not a separate annotation set. Here are the things I've tried:Dimension behavior - This is what I would like to emulate:In a drawing , create a dimension on a circle.- The leader will always remain normal to the circle. [good] - The dimension can be dragged anywhere around the circle (full 360). [good]- The dimension can be moved anywhere in one step (X-Y). [good]First attempt - Note with standard leader:In a drawing , create a note on a circle using the "Standard" leader.- The leader is NOT kept normal to the circle. [bad]- The note anchor point can only be dragged half way around the circle (unless "edit attachment" is used). [bad]- The not

I have done simple stress simulation to check the max displacement of parts' blend amount from Y axis   It is shown the max_disp Y value is 37.69mm, but I see from the animate picture, the movement of parts is less than 3 mm. I had set the DISPLAY OPTION Scaling to 1 What does it mean of Max Displacement_Y value??   Thanks

Hi,   at first, I know that Win10-Home is not supported by Creo (see Creo4 hardware notes), but somtimes ist works on Win10-Home without any problems. Mostly "Creo Agent could not be registered" or somethig like that occurs. Nearly every student has an own laptop but in 99% with Win10-Home as OS. Are there any hints or tricks to get Creo work on Win10-Home? I don't understand that PTC gives the software to students for free but the OS the students normaly use is not supported...   Thanks for comments and tips

HI,  I am selecting a face from a solid. Sometimes solid could be from Solid application and sometimes it could be from sheetmetal.   I want to know in which application this solid is created. Can someone please help me.   Thanks

Creo Parameteric 3, build 190Lets say I have a simple extrude feature, extruded up to a plane. How can I have it end at a different reference (plane, point, etc), based on the value of a part parameter?Something like: IF myParam = "Short"    <reference> = dtm_plane_shortELSE       <reference> = dtm_plane_long ENDIF I seem to recall being able to this way back in the day with Pro/E, but its been ages.

I have this Issue when modeling parts and creating drawings:   I try to select a line or surface that is visible in my current view and Creo defaults to try and select a hidden line or surface. 99% of the time I want to select what I can see.   How do I stop it from doing this?    If it matters my Display Style is usually on Shading with Edges.

I have used the &p## for getting the quantity of holes in a pattern for dimensioning a drawing.   Now I would like to use that same thing, but the holes are in a part of a subcomponent. I tried using &p##:XX (what I see when switching dimensions) The &p## is the pattern quantity and the :XX is referring to the subcomponent ID. When I do this, the "&" is dropped and is just shows P##:XX in the drawing.    

Hello,   I want to have a clear structure in my working area of CREO. Therefore I am working with folders where each part or construction group is sorted. For an assembly the single parts are sometimes in folders because of the overview and the structure.    When I am loading an assembly it shows me missing parts. The path of those parts didn´t change. Do I have to save every part of an assembly in the path of the assembly (and loose my structure) or is there a different way?   thanks in advance.

Hello,   I worked on a model in Creo 6 and while adjusting the model in one step the info in the lower left corner "Warning: Some condition relationships are no longer fulfilled in the model_ABC."    I am not sure when this message appeared so I would like to see which conditions are not fulfilled so that I can adjust them. How can I see the unfulfilled condition relationships?   thanks in advance.

How do I do unit tolerance in Creo 6.0?

Hello everybody,   I was wondering if there is a way to combine/merge three curves made with equations into one curve.   As you can see in the attached files, the curves form a spring. If zoomed in, little differences between the curves can be seen.   I'm looking for a way to eliminate these gaps and get one whole curve out of three.   Thank you for your time and with best regards.

Hello, Another obscure Creo issue that I will try and describe.  I just attempted checkin of a new drawing.  The assembly was checked in by itself already.  Upon checkin of the drawing, a new part having nothing to do with the drawing is being checked in.  This same part did not "want" to be checked in with the assembly, only the drawing.  Where is this link taking place and how do I break this link?  Thank you.

Hey, I am not able to find this Ucore46.dll which having a network Lic. Can anyone help me where is it located in network version case

We have a parametric table that pulls the items and qtys in an Assembly and lists them in a table, pulling other parameters to be displayed (such as part number, description, special assembly instructions, ect...), but this only works in a .drw.  Is there a way to insert this table, or make a new one that can be used with Annotations in Combined states?

So 2 have two models in 2 different modes: syn and asyn   model = pfcSession.GetCurrentSession().GetCurrentModel(); connection = pfcAsyncConnection.AsyncConnection_Connect(null, null, null, 20); model = connection.GetSession().GetCurrentModel();   I have checked and both models are valid and I have no issue casting the TableOwner tableowner from the two models. However, I cannot get a list of tables with async mode   TableOwner tableOwner = (TableOwner)model; if(tableOwner!=null) { tableOwner.ListTables().getarraysize(); }   tableOwner is not null but ListTables() actually returns null error. I am not sure if I do not cast it properly or I need something special to make it work.    

I'm really surprised how "under the radar" the (new?) CTQ toggle for Annotations is. What I'd like to see is the ability to define a Symbol that is applied or added to the annotation on face of drawing when CTQ is set to true (checked). In a really perfect world the symbol could have an indexing capability so you could cross reference a given Special Characteristic ina separate document such as control plan (and yes, I've seen the power of transfering CTQ data from Creo to Windchill Part to the (formerly Relex) Control Plan).   It's all really powerful stuff, especially the transfer of values... It eliminates potential transposition errors and minimizes the potential for out-of-dateness errors. It seems such a shame to be adding disconneted symbols (and the potential for error) manually.   In summary - Idea is to add automated Special Characteristic Symbols (for Drawings) to the CTQ functionality in Annotations
