Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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 ?

Hey, have a look at the following picture: As you can see, the beginning of the measurement-line is not where i want it to be. For me, it should look like this: Is there a way to fix that? Greetings, Spedex  

This type of automation need has come up a lot with our customers...   Here is a nice overview of how to do this using Creo, native Tables and Power Query within Excel.     This can be done for FREE using Nitro-CELL -- just request a FREE license.   Enjoy   Dave

Hi, Is there a good, need material library so i wasted lots of time for this...but cannot find a definitive source online someone hand out .mtl files for me.. plz  i need material limits items ( yield stress, ultimate stress) .  or current source for downloading Creo Material files something good please link here! have a good day   @material @library @.mtl

Dear Community, After creating exploded states in the sub-assemblies, I would like these states to be automatically active when exploding the top-level assembly. I mean, the sub-assemblies shall explode when the top-level assembly explodes. How can I get that? Thanks in advance!   Stefano Cristofanelli

Within the Mechanism Module does anyone know a good page (maybe YouTube video...) on how to setup a Measure of Connection Reaction?  PTC University does not show this as one of their examples.  Thank you all in advance.  

I'm teaching myself Creo with version 6.0 student edition. In trying to work on the framework utility, the system reports that the library parts ( standard beams and the such) were created in a commercial version of Creo and therefore, they are not compatible with the student version. Is there a way to get around this limitation with a compatible library or even with home-made components that will effectively be compatible with the student version? Thanks in advance.

Hopefully this is the right place to ask these questions, however, I am having difficulty with two areas in Creo Schematics.    First, I am not sure how to view my subscriptions for Creo at the company I work for. I'm wondering if we purchased the lite version of schematics or the full software. How do I check this?   Lastly, when creating a new design in (lite) schematics, I cannot access the central catalog and therefore have no components to select from in the catalog explorer. I can only access the components in the "get started" tab. Would anyone be able to explain how (if possible) this works?   Thank you,  Alexander

Hello, everyone: I am trying to model a coloured ribbon cable 24AWG (8 conductors), and my question is: can I modify the pitch between conductors? Right now i have .2 mm between conductors centerlines... but my connector has 2.54 mm pitch. So i would need my ribbon cable to be the same 2.54 mm pitch. Can I do this in CREO? I would appreciate your support.

I opened a ticket with PTC asking a few questions about Creo View ECAD, and I thought I'd ask them here as well.   Is it possible to have CV ECAD automatically use/assign different colors for each route layer? With Intercomm Expert, the system automatically assigned different colors to the routes on each layer. I know I can assign the colors individually per layer, but that is time consuming. CV ECAD assigns all the internal route layers the same color.   Is is possible to have CV ECAD display individually selected nets in the different layer colors of the routes instead of highlighting the whole net in green? With Intercomm Expert, the individual route sections of the whole net would display according to the color defined for that route's layer. For example, if a net had routes on 5 different layers, the net would display in 5 different colors. Currently, in CV ECAD, you have to mouse over each section of the highlighted net, and wait for the pop up to display the layer info

I need to join two plates at a right angle to each other using a bevel weld reinforced by a fillet weld.  The bevel weld is only located in the middle of the join and does not extend the full length of the joint surface.  I can create the bevel weld, but I cannot create the fillet weld on top of it (see image A).   If the bevel weld extends the full length of the joint surface, then it is possible to create a fillet weld on top of it and combine the two welds (see image B).   What needs to be done to create a fillet weld on top of a bevel weld with defined end points (limited length)?    

Can we able to defined the length of cable in creo schematic?
