Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We are working on building a Creo application using Object Toolkit Java.One usecase of our application is to execute tasks in background (such as authentication flow, upload opened model) while displaying progress (using animated gifs) on the custom UI created using Creo UI editor. As per our observation, whenever we start a task in background by creating a new Thread in Java, it blocks the currently open UI dialog i.e the UI dialog completely freezes and doesn't display anything.The result is same for all modality types for a dialog - MODAL, MODELESS and WORKING. Sample code snippet: uifcComponent.CreateDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG); uifcDialog.DialogFind(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG).SetModality(DialogStyle.DIALOG_STYLE_WORKING); uifcComponent.ActivateDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG); Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(() -> { // Background tasks // Destroy dialog once background task is complete uifcComponent.DestroyDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG); }, "threa

When editing a family table in excel. Excel is asking for a location to save the file after editing, rather than saving to the temporary file and exiting to the family table. Therefor the changes are not made to the table.  This is intermittent for some, consistent for others. Creo 10, Windchill 4, Office 360 2507

Folks I have an assembly with two components in Creo 10.. Intially, i had a subassembly instead of the shrinkwrap part but these boolean operations wont recognize assemblies. The cylinder represents the cavity that we are restrained.  the part represents our final 3D print part that fits inside the cavity. So I want to cutout all the external geometry from the tetras part outside the cylinder volume. I tried picking either one as the modified models/modifying components without any results. Tried different sizes of cylinder and no good. I wonder if i should use the "create part intersect" which also didnt work.  Any ideas please share thanks

Traditionally, our company uses a revision block on 2D drawings to show the current revision and list all changes from the previous version. As we transition to model-based definition (MBD), I'm trying to determine the best way to display revision history directly within the 3D model. My first thought would be to use a table similar to what we do in 2D drawings; however, I am currently using Creo 7.0.2.0, and editable tables are not added until Creo 11 from what I've seen. My second thought would be to have separate combined states for each revision displaying everything that has changed, but if a change is made to a dimension that is not initially displayed in the model, such as basic dimensions, how should that be documented for approval purposes? Another thought would be to use "Is/Was" reports, but this seems to be tedious, and I had the same question about what to do with dimensions that are not initially displayed. Would anyone who has experience with this be able to we

Hi, I’ve been trying to identify the stress distribution while twisting happens through simulation but haven’t been able to get accurate results so far. Could someone please assist with setting up or running the analysis? FYI: all parts are plastics(PP), motor will be 10 nm, the blue highlighted area are screws, and the red highlighted area is load acting.Let me know if you need any. 

I am trying to follow the steps detailed here to learn how to create a add-in for Creo 12.0 using the Creo Toolkit C++:https://support.ptc.com/help/creo_toolkit/protoolkit_plus/usascii/index.html#page/creo_toolkit/get_started/Using_the_Microsoft_Visual_Studio_Solution.html#However, my computer will not let me unzip the file where it is located (it is within program files), and when I unzip it somewhere else, the protk_install_example can no longer access the files in protk_appls. I've verified that the C and C++ compilers are included in my version of Visual Studio 2022.Any ideas on how to unzip this file and build it successfully? 

When I drop another UI component into a ProUITree, how do I make it sit exactly inside a property-sheet cell? I’ve tried hard-coding the size and position, but nothing lines up. ProUITable snaps the component to the cell automatically—can ProUITree do the same thing?

Hello, I used a subscription to simulate.Budget restrictions...I only have Creo 3 with Simulate "Light".I'm being asked to simulate a chassis in Step.I'm afraid Simulate won't allow me to convert surfaces to shell pairing and perform fatigue calculations.What do you think? Is it better to refuse?

Sorry in advance if this looks confusing but I'm wondering if someone can shed some light on this. Looking to route a wire from off the screen at the top left to the center of the picture (where the wire is currently going) is there a reason it's not following the remaining section of the network (in black) to get to the connector?  My only guess as to why it's doing what it's currently doing is because  the intersection where it should go is to tight of an angle based on the bend radius of the wire.  If that is the problem is there a better way of fixing it besides adding more points in my network? Really wish the network would be more straight lines and then let the wire dictate the curve. Thanks 

HelloI am trying to simulate the motion speed of a mechanism operated by DC motor.DC Motor Rotation Speed varies with the input torque as attached graph. But it seems impossible to define Motor Rotation Speed by using measured inputtorque in MDO.(There is only servo motor, whose speed does not depends on input torque) In this case, are there any method to simulate with the DC motor? I can calculate this motion in excel or mathcad, based on Torque value at each position angle from creo simulation with servo motor.But It would be great if this could be done just in Creo, or with a simpler workflow

Hello community, Is there an automatic method for restructuring a multi-level assembly to a single-level assembly?   Thanks

Hi Everyone,   This is for general discussion for the possible cause of "fatal error" while working with CREO.   I would like to know from tech guys that what are the major reasons for this particular error.   Please if any body knows, please do share your views. This might be helpful to many. And please give the reasons priority wise. Highest Priority cause to lowest priority cause.   Regards, Jignesh

How can i create a datum plane parallel to screen orientation? Default coordinate system is oriented in the default orientation as i enter in an empty part model. I want to create a datum plane parallel to the screen, while the coordinate is in the default orientation.

I am using Creo Parametric 2.0 M250Hello PTC Support, please provide a download link for PTC Creo 2, latest datacode.

Hi All,In one of our machines, we installed Creo 12 with a Node locked license. Generated the license based on the host ID shown in the Creo installer. Creo runs perfectly. After a few days, it stops with the error (-9) invalid host ID. When we check, the previous host ID is no longer shown. It shows a whole different Host ID. Any assistance would help. If not, we may have to escalate to PTC.Regards.

Good day,I’m trying to redefine the default coordinate system that Creo assigns to a part or assembly.Background:I have a main assembly representing a vehicle, which is divided into multiple subassemblies — each assigned to a different designer. A recurring issue arises when a designer does not use a skeleton model: the parts or subassemblies do not assemble correctly when using the “Default” constraint in the main assembly.With a large top-level assembly, it becomes quite time-consuming if every designer has to manually constrain each part or subassembly to the correct position.Workaround Tried:One approach I’ve used is to create a new coordinate system in the desired position, export the part/assembly as a STEP file, customize the export to use this new coordinate system as the default, and then reimport it. This works, allowing me to use the “Default” constraint correctly — but it’s not an efficient process.Question:Is there a more direct or recommended way in Creo to redefine or re

Hello, I'm asking help to know if there is a way in assembly to make constraint play on values of a flexible element. I have a 6DOF robot arm saved as an flexible asm. To place it I'm currently making his base's origin concurrent with the floor's one (cf. constraints.png). In order to make it looks like the right position, I change each angle of rotation he had (which are all 6 flexible elements) degrees by degrees which is painfull (cf. flexible elements list.png). Regarding this issue, I want to know if it's possible to add an other constraint on the robot arm, this time with gripper and make both of his constraints change the value of the flexible element instead of changing all by hand.PS : I'm a using Creo 11 

Hello there,Is there any similar methods to run a native python or .cpp file in creo as like we do in Unigraphics NX ?I am trying to connect to a creo 9.0 environment , from external command prompt as like creoson, but after that can i pass the creo toolkit commands to creo via that terminal ?

I have been trying to find an answer to this question but nothing I have tried so far works. I have an issue where I can not pull the Windchill browser window to the front above all of the other Creo windows. I'm currently using Creo 7.0.8 and this is happening to all users who are currently running Windows 11 (but now Windows 10). There doesn't seem to be any way at all to move it to the front so we have to resort to moving all Creo windows to one monitor and the Windchill browser to another monitor. I suspect that this has something to do with the Windows 11 window manager but even the settings that appear to fix other applications do not fix this issue in Creo. Anyone have an idea what I can try?

Hi,I am trying to implement ProMdlReadonlyIgnore with reference to article CS398373, as I am unable to upload parameters while it is in Checkin state. Untill Creo 7.0.11 I was able to do it, but same action in Creo 10.0.5 is demanding me a checkout. By referring article CS398373 I figured we have to use ProMdlReadonlyIgnore(I suppose not as a custom API) but PTC provided. I do not see any document in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT API Wizard .Can I get some help here.

Vers. 10.0.5.0Creo program has stopped using the config options i've had before, specifically inverted zoom shown in picture. I am unsure which is correct for the zoom option i want (Yes or no) however i have tried changing the config file to both options and it has not changed zoom direction and uses the default scroll wheel down = zoom in & scroll wheel up = zoom out.The only notable difference i've done recently is closed the program improperly by closing the pc but this has not changed the config files for me before. Any advice is very appreciated!Solution:Using the link provided and testing what config.pro was being loaded, it turned out to be start up/working directory. Reselecting the working directory with the config.pro solved the problem. 

Is there an event that occurs when you click on the top item in a CreoUI table?
