Hi Creo community, I'd like to get your feedback or opinion on the topic "collaborative engineering on part level"Note that we are using "classical" Creo & Windchill, no Creo+ Request from the users: We want to execute simultaneous engineering on different areas of a part.See my example:User-1 developing the outside design (or the design already exists)User-2 develops the green areaUser-3 develops the read areaFinally, the "zones" should be merged into one final part and MBD should be addedPersonally I'd prefer a split of the grey part into Bodies and merge them back at the end (boolean operations), the other options could be inheritance or copy geom (surface...) Your opinion on that? BR Georg
I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.4.0I have written a C executable that will not run unless ucore68.dll is in my Windows path. I want to not be dependent on DLLs if possible.Here are the errors that I faced:The code execution cannot proceed because ucore68.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
When we originally did our .Hol files over a decade ago we decided it wasn't possible to call out both FREE and CLOSE in the callout formats. The Hole note on the drawing could only be shown as a Free(what we set it as). Is that still the case? When i add in CLOSE to the matrix/table it still just only gives me a Free callout and not the Close when Close is the value set in the model Thanks!

We are looking at installing ITI's CADIQ and I was wondering if anyone in the PTC Creo community is already running it and can give us some information. What we are wondering is how it compares to ModelCheck in functionality and quality of the analysis. ITI has told us that it is an external program, so files need to be saved to disk before running through CADIQ, which is a drawback when we have all of our data in Windchill. Love to hear experiences from those that have evaluated or are using CADIQ. Thanks
Hidden line removal for quilt not working with 2D cross-section from Sections used. I want image 2,3,4 to be like image 1 that hides hidden line for quilts. If i select 2d section the option of hidden line is greyed out. It does not remove hidden lines. How to fix? Thanks in advance. More to think ...more to creo!
I create a part using the BOUNDARY BLEND command and then OFFSET it. I wish to SOLIDIFY it now, I mean the offset geometry. Creo 11 Student Version does not like it. I am not sure why? Is there a GLITCH in Version 11 for the solidify command for geometry using the Boundary Blend?
We’ve been trying to find a more efficient way of creating springs and adding measures to them, but so far haven’t had much success. We’ve standardized a lot of spring parameters—names, orientations, and measures—but every time we create a new spring, it still takes too long to set up both the spring and its associated measure. Example workflow: Start with an empty model and a point at (0,0,0). Create a spring to ground with stiffness properties in the global coordinate system: Z = 10 N/mm X = 0 N/mm Y = 0 N/mm Add a measure for this spring and name it Wheel_1_Z. We’ve tried to automate the process using mapkeys, but haven’t managed to make it work. Question:What would be the best way to streamline or automate this workflow?Issues: Case 1: You select a point and press the Spring button. A simple spring is created, and the point remains in the buffer. But when you switch the spring type to Spring to Ground, the point list becomes empty, so you have to reselect the poin
Using Creo 10.0.2.0 Commercial license After I completed a model and associated drawing, we had a small issue. I oriented the model wrong.I based my sketch in the "Top" plane when I should have based it in the "Front" plane. That would make it line up better in the final assembly. I know it's not a big deal to rotate it in the assembly, but it would be "nice" to just have it fit correctly in the system without rotating. I figured out I could get the orientation I needed by right-clicking the sketch and selecting references. I then switched Top with Front, Right with Top, then Front with Right to get the actual orientation I needed. Great, the model itself was exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, as one might expect, this completely broke all of my annotated dimensions. I tried to reassign the planes for the annotations, but it didn't work. I then regenerated the original model and tried just switching Top and Front, leaving right alone. I thought maybe if I on

Hello PTC Community, I'm experiencing an issue on some computers where the Creo 11 embedded browser is not functioning correctly. For certain web pages (stored in the hard drive), the browser displays a completely blank white page. When I reload these pages, the correct content appears only briefly—as a quick blink—and then the page goes blank again.Here are some details about the affected systems:Operating System: Windows 11 Enterprise 23H2Creo Version: 11.0.3.0Creo Platform Agent: 1.7.395Creo 11 Platform Services: 1.3.51I have already tried clearing the cache and browsing history within the embedded browser, but the issue persists.Has anyone encountered this problem or can suggest any solutions or troubleshooting steps?I attach a screenshot of the correct rendering of the page, and the blanked one. Thank you in advance for your help!
Dear @KenFarley and @BryantMorgan, With reference to this topic! Is there a way to use Gpost to split an nc file in couple .tap-files?So that Gpost looks for time or length? I would like to use this information to export an "SET", and then let GPOST split it into different TAP-parts (every tool has then his own NCL-File). That would make the explort of CL-Files easier.. because now we have to calculate every Step one by one becuase the NC-Machines/Worker prefer it that way.
"If these anchor points are cut off by a section, the dimension won't be visible." Reference topic: Hole annotations not showing - PTC Community Is there a way to shift those anchor points to visible section?I have thread hole where one annotation (MAX) is "anchored" to axis of the hole and is visible in any cross section, but the other dimension (MIN) is visible only in correctly oriented cross section, which is not cutting off the anchor points. Is there a way how to swap the anchor points to other side of the design or is it dead end in MBD?
Hello everyone, I want to output G-code like this for swivel head 3,4,5-axis milling. For 4 and 5 axes, required G43.4 before rotary motion, and for 3 axes, G43.

I am looking at updating our old start parts that have Pro/Intralink parameters in them which are useless now that we are in Windchill. I read the steps in Article - CS105842 - How to modify or remove Windchill Parameters in Creo Parametric but the parameters are still locked when I open the files in Creo. Any suggestions on how to get clean start parts. I have thought of creating new ones, but we have a lot of parameters that would need added. I saw an article that said ModelCheck can delete unwanted parameters, but it did not address the issue of locked parameters. Will ModelCheck remove locked parameters? Creo 10.0.4.0 and Windchill 13.0.2.0
Reference topic link @simran I also have the same problem, have you found a solution to delete the useless BASELINES?Thank you and good day.
I noticed recently ( I think it has been around awhile) that when you delete an entity that is patterned, it does not delete all the dimension of the pattern. A part is patterned: A family table is made: I renamed the dimension (distance apart and qty) to try and avoid confusion: Next I deleted the part that was patterned (which deletes the pattern too). But the family table still shows the qty (and on a different one, it didn't get rid of the dimension): Is this a glitch?

Created a sheetmetal part master view is the flat pattern. Created a simplified rep in the bent state. When we assembly the part in the 3D assembly the assembled components do not update to the bent state. We need one model to represent the component and allow the flat pattern to be used in the drawing. Our business has only 1 part number for the manufacture of this component. We do not want to create another CAD PART ---- BRAKET_FLAT.prt. This created unnecessary data in our system and complicate Windchill by dragging along unnecessary objects.
Hi, I use creo 11.0 edition. When I want to select plane nothing happens
Running CREO 8.0I have a section view with 2 components not showing up in view. They are there but will not appear.I have tried excluding and including back and forth in VM States tab. I even cleared out my workspace and did the work all over again it was only a (5 minutes task).. I also created the view state all over again. and nothing.See screenshot of bodies in green that will not appear.I did notice in modelling that when I try to add the parts to the section they will not select but other parts will.
My AutoCAD human resource is taking 50hrs to trace the outline of something vehicle as seen in attached file. Our client has tons of vehicle images to be converted to .drg, bypassing 3D model. I was wondering if someone has a software that can convert image to as if drawn by a engineering drafting pen. .2mm / .4mm / 1mm sharpie. Thanks for all your brainstorming. This may save us a tons. Thanks in ADVANCE! So much of Creo.. So little time.!
Finally upgraded from Creo 9 to Creo 12 and it started completely locking up the system when adding a countersink to a hole feature. Contacted tech support and they said the Dell 7760 is not supported by Creo 12! This is crazy! So now I am supposed to go and buy new laptops for the entire engineering and design team?? Looks like I either find another 3D system or I am stuck with Creo 9. I didn't upgrade to Creo 11 because they moved the mapkeys out of the config.pro to a separate file that is located on the local client. This made the CAD much more difficult because one way to standardize and control process is by using mapkeys that were loaded of the server at the start point. Not happy with PTC...
I feel like Creo is slowing us down when opening an assembly, particularly large ones, because it is "Doing preliminary Mass props calculations" on every part it opens. I'd rather do that manually and save time opening the models. Any ideas? Creo 10.0.5.0, WC 13
