Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello, can someone tell me what the parameter is called where the length of a pipe is stored?  I'd like to reference this in a drawing table so there is a link between the drawing and the pipe?  Thanks.

Workflow for creating a Measure Step and a Verification Step in PRO/CCM to verify a Geometric Tolerance of Cylindricity    

I am trying to create a harness model in Creo 4.0. The issue I am having is that I cannot select the harness option when creating a new part. I just updated my license, so that should be fine. It seems like the only way to create a harness is though the part selection. Attached is a picture of what I am seeing. This does not seem to be an issue other people are having. Any help would be appreciated. 

Hi. Does anyone know of a way to simulate gas springs in Mechanism analyses in Creo? I can do regular springs, with a spring constant, but how can I model a gas spring with force and progressivity values? Do I recalculate these values into a spring constant and a relaxed length, and will this even be accurate? Anyone know of a guide or equation to use for this? I'd love to do it in Creo relations so I can optimize on the actual gas spring values.

Hello everyone, I have created for you a whole series of Creo Welding tutorials:              

Hi, I'm trying to export creo drawing to dxf with WebLink application, but I don't know how to use pfcExport2DOption. For PDF there's a documented way how to use options: var expInstructions = pfcCreate("pfcDXFExportInstructions").Create(); var expInstructions = pfcCreate("pfcPDFExportInstructions").Create(); var pdfOptions = pfcCreate("pfcPDFOptions"); ... expInstructions.Options = pdfOptions; But for DXF (pfcExport2DOption) can't find a way to pass options to export instructions.

Good evening,does anyone know how to use ProSelect() to let the user select a cylinder's silhouette edge on a drawing?Imy application the user should be able to select two points on solidgeometry - then I create a broken view with ProDrawingViewBrokenVisibleAreaSet(). If I pass "point" or "axis" as filter string (first argument) to ProSelect() everything works fine. I want the user to be able to select a solid edge - that works if we are talking about a "sharp" edge. I cannot select a silhouette edge with Toolkit. Is that right? Or is there some sort of "hidden" filter available for ProSelect()?Any experiences with this???Regards,Andreas__________________________________Andreas HellmannMCAD Services Pro/E & Pro/E customizationAm Wartfeld 7D-61169 Friedbergphone: +49 151 21259910mail: -

I'm fairly new to Creo and having difficulty removing a datum from one of my drawings.  What appears to be happening is the feature that it was tied to is no longer there.  So, now I'm unable to select it to delete it, or tie it to a new feature.  The datum is just dangling in space.  See below.  Any ideas on how to remove it?

Have a piece of hardware that is used dozens of times in an assembly and will only allow me to replace it with a family table member, is there a way to be able to replace it with a "Non-Related" component?

Bonjour, J'utilise des attributs utilisateur pour les prêts dans les propriétés des matériaux afin d'informer mes attributs drw et PLM. J'ai un problème quand je fais des asm mécano-soudés, je ne peux plus attribuer de matière. Avez-vous une solution?  

As the title,how to export a asm. file to step file with section view?because use extrude to cut the view in assembly file needs take a long time to calculate,if use section view will be convenient.

I was adding a few icons to the mini-toolbar and saved creo_parametric_customization.ui Now the mini-toolbar does not show up anymore when I left-click anything. The little window only shows up when I right-click (a long time). using a backup of "creo_parametric_customization.ui" does not help. Is there a way to get the mini-toolbar back? Im using Creo 5.0.2.0  

Hi Community,   We are looking to create a new component parameter in assembly mode that is editable by occurrence.  A similar attribute that has the same capabilities is  ECAD_OWNER.  We were able to create the attribute in Windchill under the EPM Document Uses Link, and it performs correctly in Windchill, but we want to have this edittable in Creo.  I am wondering if anyone knows how to add a component parameter in Creo like this.  Here is a picture example of what the functionality would represent.  It would not check out the components within the assembly as it is considered a assembly parameter.   Windchill 11.0 Creo 4.0 MO90  

Hi all, we have linked our WTPart Mass attribute to PRO_MP_MASS, however to start populating mass information from Creo into Windchill we need to calculate Mass properties in Creo then designate PRO_MP_MASS before checking in. This apparently is too much effort for my users and they would like and automation. I have got something working via Mapkey, but unfortunately if you run the Mapkey a second time it will un-designate the attribute without indication to the user. So I need a more elegant solution which can use some sort of "if" logic to determine whether PRO_MP_MASS is already designated, does anyone have a similar problem with a similar solution, I have no background in Creo automation or customization.   Many thanks

Hi,   I'd like to export the sketch-lines to dxf to use it in another software (dlubal rfem). I use normal parts as skeleton (without aax).   Is there a way to simply export the lines from a sketch or skelton-part ? And is there a way to export a 3d-DXF-file with the lines/sketches i want to export ? Thanks a lot, Maik

We have just made the move from Creo 3.0 to Creo 5.0.3.0, we are using Dell 3620 workstations with NVIDIA  Quadro M4000 cards and 362.13 driver as per the spec sheet, we also have some 3630s with the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 and 419.17 driver.   The users are experiencing lag on menus and general navigation, they are experiencing this mostly towards the afternoon. typically most users will have the whole motorcycle in session which can be around 4000 parts, they will tend to use Reps to only show the area of the bike they are working on. So I think its a memeory issue due to number of parts in session, but it could be somehting to do with Windchill, configurations, graphics card, the list goes on.   Any help much appreciated

Hello! It is possible to make a measure using command, for example MEASURE_DIAMETER SHAFT_AXIS AXISD And then I want to use this saved value in AXSID to preselect some line from data in BEGIN_TABLE. In other words, I want to use diameter of selected reference to select size of a component. It is possible?    

Is it possible to have a flexible parameter in a assembly that will publish to a EPM Document Use Link attribute in Windchill?

Hello   For symbol instance present in drawing, we can identify name of parent symbol using API ProDtlsymdefdataNameGet.   This API gives correct name in case of Symbol Definition having name as Test. In case of Symbol Definition Name having Test (2) or Test(2), it is not giving full name and only provides Test as symbol Definition Name.   Am I missing something or is this way it works? Any suggestion would be of great help.

Does anyone know if it is possible to override the plot file extension used by the Creo Distributed Batch utility, and the "PLOT/PRINT to file, GENERIC POSTSCRIPT" Task Type Definition (TTD)?   I have tried everything I can think of, but the output plot files are still created with a .ps file extension.   There exists a PCF setting called plot_name that does exactly what I need (if set to no, then a .plt file extension is used instead of .ps for PostScript).   But I cannot seem to get the Batch file to honor the setting.   The help file implies a PCF file can be used to override relevant plot settings, but it doesn't say say exactly how to accomplish this.   I have tried adding my custom .PCF file to the "Configuration Files" node of the batch group, and have tried specifying my custom .PCF file location in the <PCF_FILE></PCF_FILE> element of the TTD file (found right under the <TKFUNC func="ProPrintExecute"> node).   No luck though. &nb

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M040, but I am trying to open a legacy Creo 2 assembly, but the model tree is not showing any of the model operations, but the model picture shows the changes that the operations would have done.  Error message at the bottom of the screen when I open the creo 2 assembly file is "Could not read from Model Tree config file wtpub://$SERVER_NAME/Libraries/CAD Standards/Creo/Configurations/tree.cfg."

Is compatible Creo 7 and Windows 10 V..2004?     Thanks

As a college student I downloaded Creo 6.0. But after I wanted to open the "setup.exe" nothing happened. Not even after disabling both of the firewall and antivirus. However from an another PC I managed to copy the necessary files to my own. I have the license the use it as a student. I copied the "license.dat" file to the right destination ("C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing") but still Creo cannot detect the file.   What should I do in order to Creo detect my license?   Thank you for your forwarding help!

Hello!   I have trouble figuring out how to force AFX to use our company's naming syntax. Here is an example: Lets say the ASM name is SHM-0001-030-001 (Which is the game as the  AFXproject name). What I would like to do is to force AFX to use the following names in the assembly for  (ITEM) profiles: SHM-001-030-001-01 SHM-001-030-001-02 SHM-001-030-001-03 SHM-001-030-001-04 ...and so on... Is it possible? What would be even better is to use this numbering for some of the equipment elements too. For example the equipment element (For example polycarbonat plate element) would be SHM-001-030-001-05 SHM-001-030-001-06 ... But in the same time some of the equipment elements are good as they are (for example ITEM wheels/caps etc...) because they are commercial product for us.    

I have a UDA created that works fine, but I need to obtain the results from it in text form. The UDA measures the X, Y and Z locations of a field point from a coordinate system. The field point is constrained to a surface. I would like to have BMX output the results to a text file instead of a colored "heat map". Since it creates this color map, Creo has the data somewhere, but I can only obtain the max or min value for this study. Any suggestions or good hacks out there to find the text file?   TIA
