Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi,I am creating some features using Object toolkit application C++. But once operations are done, I cant undo them.    Is there anyway with which I can add undo point till the state before I started by application

Can someone please help me in How to find out the color of the selected face in OTK CPP.   Thanks  

Hi Guys,   We are currently using Creo3. When creating a drawing, if you change the decimal places under dimension properties window, it remembers that value until you change it again.    In Creo7, it seems to always default back to whats set in my config.pro (5 places in my case)   How to I get it remember when detailing a drawing?   Thanks for the help.   Jay

Hi,   I am working on a developing a application in Object Toolkit Cpp where I need to preview its result. I have button 'Preview' on UI created using Creo UI Editor. But cannt figure out how to show the preview.   Can someone please guide me 'How to preview in Object Toolkit'.

We are working to grow our library for connectors for cabling. I have one lead saying that they only want one entry point, and therefore no pin locations modeled.  This means that on their drawings, they will have to apply a symbol to capture the pin configuration.  This philosophy also would preclude any wire-to-pin analysis, or fanning of the wires to their location, would it not? I have another lead that wants the pin configurations, so that all of the views are parametric, and that the advanced wire termination can be done.   My LEANING, as a primarily mechanical/non-electrical is that I would want this as parametric and accurate as possible, as long as it doesn't impede next higher assemblies in their regen, or performance.   Does anyone have any insight I can use to help make a sound determination?

After i create the new line font style and apply to the line it updates. after saving the drawing the line font just disappears from the line font list. and when i as as PDF it creates a solid line by default. I saw that there are solution regarding the <fontname>.lsl file but i am not able to understand the solution. Can some one help me out of this problem.

I am trying to get Color of Model

I am trying to get list of display component so i am using  pfcSession_ptr session = conn->GetSession(); pfcModel_ptr CurrentModel= session->GetCurrentModel(); wfcWAssembly_ptr WAsm = wfcWAssembly::cast(CurrentModel);  but its crashing in last line not able to debug have anyone idea about this i am using this in asynchronous mode

Can MBD/annotations be translated (copied) over from the design model to the mold_ref model? When we assemble the design model into the mold assembly; you have three choices, 1)  Merge by reference, 2) Same model, 3) Inherited.   We have always used the Merge by reference option.   So ultimately, I’m asking if GTOL/Annotations be transferred to a External Merge feature (part)?  

While iterating a load step the checkpoints window will note convergence has occurred through the message "Accepting looser residual norm tolerance because both contact area and force have converged".  But, the program will continue to iterate for the same load step.  This seems in contradiction to the message about convergence.  What is going on here?

Hello, I have a red stop light icon in the lower-right corner of my drawing.  I clicked it and nothing launched to reveal the cause.  What is the purpose of this stop light?  Thank you.

Hello, I have a drawing with 12 assemblies and 12 parts attached/added to it.  Must I activate each model separately and regenerate or is there a way to regenerate all associated models at once via the drawing?  It seems the former approach would be very impractical.  Thank you.

Hello, I am trying to remove a part from my workspace and it wants to bring the drawing with it.  I have already removed the part from the drawing, regenerated, saved.  The part still wants to bring the drawing with it.  Any ideas here?  Thank you.

Hello, I am running into trouble trying to unlock a java application. I know that I have the proper licenses to unlock and subsequently run the application but when I run the unlocking operation on my application I get a weird response shown in the picture, any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Also when I copy the character into notepad++ it appears in there as a SOH character.

Hey, I want update the color of model through running  parallel asynchronous exe.

Hello Fellow Admins,    There hasn't been any discussion on this topic in 6 years, I'm sure tools have changed.  Anyone out there using license monitoring software?  My company has more than 100 creo seats, some are Global license.  Trying to get good data to make better decisions on the amount we need.  Can you share your experience?    Thanks in advance for any insight.

hey, I am trying to automate the creo parametric through running parallel application using toolkit so i need a scale unit info (like model is in mm, cm , inches) for the model how i can find it

Hello   Can anyone suggest any way to access file history using toolkit? We have Creo 4.0 M070.   Where to find in Creo : Review tab---> File History   Thanks and Regards Ketan

Hi, I have an problem about the table. The user defined parameter can not displayed after i add some new code.                                         PIC 1                                                   PIC 2                                                          PIC 3   When i add the new code in PIC 3. The parameter (QTY1) can't correctly display after update table (see PIC 2) I don't know what went wrong. There is no problem with the new code.    

Greetings, I was recently asked to change a drawing of a drill bit. So I modified the model that I had created originally to make the changes needed. Everything is good until I go back to the 2D drawing. A detail view that was once highlighting a small detail on the bit is now gone (as it should be), but the detail circle callout is still visible in open space. I cannot grab the detail circle to hightlight and delete. I have no idea how to get rid of this circle. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello,   I am trying to model a calibration target (similar to these larger and higher dot density).  I'm not allowed to share the .prt file but here's the process:   Extruded a sketch for the overall shape. Extruded a rectangular sketch to cut the first slot, linear pattern to the edge of the part Created a sketch for a dot on the "high" rows, did a extrude cut and, then a fill pattern using the outline of the part Created a sketch for a dot on the "low" row, did a extrude cut and, then a fill pattern using the outline of the part.   All in all there are around 6000 dots.  Regeneration time often exceeds 30 minutes on a relatively fast Xeon machine.  Is there any suggestions to more efficiently model this. I would like to be able to see the dots because I use the ray trace plug-in to visualize how they look behind various shaped glass but they don't have to be extruded.   Thanks, Matt 

Hello,   I have an issue on my laptop running Windows 7  with Creo 7.0.1.0 installed.   When second, and subsequent, model windows are opened the program refuses to settle on one window and allow me to interact with the model. What I mean is that when the new model window opens, any mouse click results in Creo switching back to the base window. However any mouse click here then sends me to the second model, and so I then get stuck in this loop. it ends only when I minimize the creo righr creo window and open it again bu using win+D buttons.   The problem only appears to affect Creo eventhough I have creo 4 installed that works perfectly.   Has anybody encountered anything like this before?   Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Asher

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #7 in this multibody blog series. This post also attempts to answer another body parameter related question:How can I display, use or call-out a body parameter? If you want to call out a body parameter then you have to use the syntax as explained in the Creo help here.   &<param_name>:BID_<body_feature_ID> Or &<param_name>:BID_<body_userdefined_name>   Note: For bodies that have the default name (body 1, body 2, etc) you cannot use the system-defined default body name but you have to use the body’s Feature ID. (The reason is that the system-defined names such as body 1, body 2, etc are localized and translated into other languages and therefore not representing stable references across languages.)   Example: Let’s assume we have 2 bodies. Here their names and parameters list.     To call out the parameter “MY_BODY_INFO” for both bodies, we can now use the following for body 1 &MY_BODY

Hi All, how to selection working plane in mill/toutning work center? example G17 or G19?

We are using the Automatic Rep since upgrading to Creo 5, particularly when PTC by default hides the pre-Creo 4.0 Geometry and Graphics simplified representation. We are experiencing that components in this Automatic Rep are not visible in the PVZ exported from Creo when the master rep is not in session. It is therefore not possible to open a model in a user defined representation and export to PVZ, when the user defined representation uses Automatic Reps. Consequently, when you open a model only in the Automatic representation available in Creo, not a single component contains any geometry in the PVZ. Again, only when the master rep is not in session. Using the option hide_pre_creo4_reps I could see that parts that where in e.g. geometry rep where actually exported to the PVZ, even if the master rep was not in session, so this effect is only seen on the Automatic rep. Shouldn't an export to PVZ at least use the geometry rep of every visible component in the assembly ?
