Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello,   I am just working on a internal company projects where we have a sheet metal body with ventilation slots. Those slots I made with the "filling"-function. The lower left rectangle is the base which was filled over an area which I sketched, let´s say a filling frame.   Now I wanted to insert an area in the middle of those ventilations slots where I can laser the companys logo into but I am not sure, when I use this model, if the process is done correctly...see attached - I can still see the slots lined up and able to choose but the insert rectangle has the same thickness like the sheet metal around it...   Is there any solution which is suitable for this case?! Or do I have to make 4 filling areas (1upper, 1 lower, 1left and 1right of the inner rectangular)? - I hope not...   Thanks in advance.

Hello,   Does anyone know if the symbols in the image bellow are in basic license of Creo?  CTQ Metrics?  My customer have a client that use this symbols, but he is saying that it's a module/extension or another product of PTC. Thanks    

Hello community, I have a question about simulation capabilities. We are machining in a very thin layer of material (0.5 to 1mm thickness) a comb structure, often below the neutral axis of the part. Once we finish the machining, we see a warpage of the parts, mostly linked with the residual machining stress. We are trying to solve the problem empirically, but I'd like to have some theoretic approach and prepare a simulation model for future application. In order to do that, I'd like to know if it is possible with Creo Simulate to do this kind of simulation and have an estimation of the residual stress and estimate the warpage of the parts? Thank you in advance for your feedback! BR, Giandonato

Hi,   I've created a sheetmetal-part and added a planar and flat part. Then I mirrored the flat part on the middle plane. The result is, that the other side doesn't look mirrored.   .prt-file is attatched I haven't used sheetmetal very often. So maybe I am missing something ?   Thanks, Maik

Hi Everyone,   My name is Matt Huybrecht, and I'm the Director of CAD Curriculum for PTC University. My team determines what courses are going to be created and for what software. You may or may not know that PTC University is changing up our curriculum creation model, and we're thinking of creating some content for more "niche" areas of Creo. Here are some of the areas we're looking at: Creo Simulation Live - We already have a course but are thinking of expanding it. Topology Optimization - Again, we already have a course but are thinking of expanding it. Advanced Framework Extension (AFX) Creo Render Studio Creo Insight Mold Analysis Extension Casting Welding Additive Manufacturing Lattice Structures Unite Technology Legacy Migration Extension Computational Flow Dynamics (CFD) Tolerance Analysis Extension (TAE) I'm looking for your feedback here.   What of these would you like to take a course in? Is there something else not covered here that you'd love to take a course o

One function of Solidworks that I find very helpful is the ability to add "comments" to dimension text in the sketcher. Like you see in this link: https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/231992   So I'd like to be able to do something like what you see in the picture attached. Is this possible?      

Hi,I had to create a thread on shaft so I used Cosmetic Thread feature. Next I've created a drawing with 2 views: first view shows a shaft in top position and the other in non-top position (let's say right side of shaft). View with top position is correct - thread symbol (cutted circle) was created correctly. But view with non-top position does not contain thread lines... Just looks like usual view without any thread. Does anybody know how to fix it in Creo Parametric 6.0?Thanks in advance for all answers!

We are using Creo 4.0 M100 to design die casting dies using the mold splitting tools in the Tool Design option.  Since moving to Creo 4.0 a few years ago, we are having problems with mold volumes switching after modifying a parting-surface; cavity half insert geometry switches to the ejector side and visa versa.  This wreaks havoc on the extracted mold components and the rest of the mold design.  This is especially painful when doing revisions to an existing mold design.   We are using the "volume split" tool along with parting-surfaces to create the volumes.  It's almost like Creo reassigns the geometry do different sides of the parting surface at random.   I find several occurrences of this issue in the knowledge base.  Each occurrence says resolved in an earlier version than what we are currently running.   Has anyone else had this issue?  If so, how have you dealt with it?  Is there a better / more robust technic for splitting

Hi - I need to place a square button inside a square hole, and am using the slide mechanism so I can limit the resting and depressed positions.  But being a button, I need to allow for a small clearance gap on all four sides.  When I select the hole and button corner edges for the axis alignment, it fixes as a coincident constraint and doesn't let me set offsets.    How do I get round this so I can limit the distance the button can be depressed but also specify a clearance gap on all four sides?   Can I create a datum axis in mid air on the hole piece which I can align the button with?  I have read another post where someone mentioned using a planar joint instead - I have tried this for a while but cannot make it work; when I set as i think it should be, the piece can be dragged all over the place!   Thanks

Hi,I'm working with Creo Parametric 6.0 and I'm making drawing of simple part. When I've done this drawing I've created a copy of this origin drawing (File->Save As->Save a Copy). Then I made some changes inside the copy (mainly deleting some dimenssions) and i I saved it. When I opened the origin drawing I realized that dimenssions which I remove in copy have been also removed in origin drawing. It looks like the changes made in copy influence on origin file. Is there some way to turn off this influence?Thank you in advance for all answers!

Can we do cloning of creo assembly in creo ?If yes what are the requirement?

Hi all   I am just concerned to get dtlnote from drawing... Not those coming from format file. For drawing table , api is there to identify whether it is from format or not.... Simillar thing I could not find for dtlnote... So , is there a way to identify whether dtlnote belong to format or not ? Can I use some api related to read only dtlnote?

When I open a drawing, the drawing takes a long time to completely open because it seems to be loading several times. The drawing just blinks in and out several times.

Hi,   I want to move pan from shift+wheel to side mouse button+wheel. How can I do this? And I would like to add function to rotate a part only by axis perpendicular to screen to the other side button.    Is it possible?   

Hi - I'm new to mechanisms contstraints, but getting there.   I have a problem where I have a door handle that can be depressed through a limited arc.  There is also a button on the handle which can be depressed.  I have set up the constraints for both of these pieces, but the problem is when I drag the button to the different positions on screen, the whole handle moves (through the arc) on the screen too.  How do I set up so that I can drag the button to different on/off positions but I don't change the angle of the handle?  Each piece should be independently movable without moving any other part.   Counter to that, I can move the handle through the arc and the button stays in the position and doesn't move, so i know it can be done   Thanks..

Hi guys I have a general question. I have used NX, Solidworks, CATIA, and other software before. I'm trying to learn how to sketch in both the sketcher and in the part function.   In those other design softwares when a solid is fully constrained, the sketch wouldn't move. I'm getting used to this software but the issue is even after every dimension is correct and purpled out; i'm still able to drag the entities and the dimensions change.   Do I have to lock each dimension after creating the sketch so it won't change or move? Or does Creo act like solidworks and CATIA where once the sketch is fully constrained it shouldn't move?   Thanks for the help guys.

Hi community,  I have a struggle with an exploded assembly, more specific the rotating portion in the exploded view.   When I go into explode on the assembly and instead giving a distance I give an angle and select the rotating axis and the components I want to rotate around the selected axis, it does so…but…the specified angle in my case 9.5 Deg shows up on the drawing as 8.5 Deg           Anybody else has had this issue? Anybody has a fix for this? Any help will be highly appreciated Thanks in advance Andreas

Hello,   I find the alt+middle-mouse-button tool very useful for rotating. Often I am looking at some small corner of my part, far away from the part origin, and using this tool keeps the part right there in the middle. The middle-mouse-button (MMB) drag, on the other hand, works fine when I'm zoomed out, but I use the alt+MMB shortcut much more often. Is there a way I can swap these? So that the current alt+MMB behavior happens with just MMB?

Community,   Is there a way to thicken the viewing plane lines in Creo 6?  The first snippet below is from ASME Y14.2, and I know that Creo can make the first two viewing plane lines, but I have not found a way to thicken them.  There is an option cutting_line_segment_thickness, but only for ends and corners, but I couldn't even get that to work.  Thanks in advance.    

Hello,   I am asking for a co-worker who called and described over the phone.   He says he is creating dimensions on a drawing, but when he goes to change aspects of the dimension like tolerance type, etc. The areas are greyed out leaving no options.   I feel like this has happened to me in the past once or twice. I was thinkin something is either locked or read only. He can save the drawing aftr creatinf the dimensions. Just can tweak the dimension style, etc.   Ring a bell with anyone?   CREO 4.0   Thanks,   Wayne

I have a subassembly that includes cables. At the next assembly level I want to cut the cables in the subassembly. When I try to do this all the parts in the assembly are cut except the cables. Is there a way to have an assembly cut - cut a cable?

HI Guys,   We currently run Creo 3 m090.    We are also in the process of testing out Creo 7   can someone explain how to return borrowed license files from each Creo 3 and Creo 7?   When I try and return them, I get an error saying that they are borrowed from multiple VD's, and i need to specify which.   How do i do this?   Here is what my return script looks like. @echo on😧cd d:\PTCAPPS\"Creo 7.0.1.0"\Common Files\x86e_win64\obj\lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 PROE_EngineerIlmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 125lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 192lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 59lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 6lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 67lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 135lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 32lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 339lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 341lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@azuse2lic10 10124lmut

I like using the dynamic move tool in assemblies, but it is scaled too small to use easily. I'd like it to be perhaps double its current size. Zooming in doesn't work - it's the same size on my screen regardless of zoom, as it should be. Is there a way I can change the size of the dynamic move tool?

Hello, When I'm adding relations to repeat region they don't work. For example I added:    if ASM_MBR_TYPE=="Bulk item"     QTY=5   else     QTY=rpt_qty   endif   and the qty of bulk items is not changed.   Also I want to have a possibility to add more simple BOM balloons to bulk items and other items, without REF balloons, because they don't merge and it's a problem for me, I tried a lot of ways to make it and it don't work also. I will be grateful for any help 🙂
