Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello,   We work with PTC CAD for long time. Three years ago we moved from ProE Wildfire 5 to Creo 3 and work with it. In our system we currently have files create/modify with only ProE Wildfire 5 and other create/modify with Creo 3. We plan to move soon to Creo 5. As we know it will work perfectly well between Creo 3 and Creo 5 (at least when we move from 3 to 5) but my question is: what about if we want to open / modify with Creo 5 some files saved with ProE wildfire 5 10years ago ? Do we need to re-open and re-save all files from wildfire 5 to Creo 3 before move to creo 5 to be sure everything will work ?   regards Cedric 

Hi, Creo 3 licensing became unreliable with windows 10 and now completely stopped working. That means I can not use the software anymore. My reseller suggested me to reinstall the flexnet. The deinstalling went fine using the config tool but trying to install it again makes the tool get stuck at the "installing license server" state. Any idea how I can get my expensive tool back to work? Thanks, Consti

Dear Community,   I want to set two positions of a robotic arm in a single view at drafting.. This feature is available in solidworks also..(Ref video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC_F6F5gRog) Can we do it in creo as like this..

Hello, in CREO 5 Piping, I have started the routing of a flexible pipe from the csys of the fitting.  However, going back to modify this portion of the routing, I cannot change the x and y position of the "node", only the z position.  Any ideas why the x and y are locked (see below).  Thank you.  

For some reason, my Creo manages to delete (?) custom created materials. I just copy a material from the materials list and change the parameters. After a while (edit: when restarting Creo), the list kind of resets itself to the default materials. I've added 2 custom created materials this way and they're both not on the list anymore.   What's the proper way to create a material, get it into the list as a default material, in order to use the material for future parts?

Hello   As we know CCpfcAsyncConnection.Connect would give ambiguity exception if there are more than one Creo session is there. In such case, GetConnectionId will help us to connect to specific Creo session. To get connection ID, we have option to get so by API GetConnectionId. I am having confusion of usage of this API GetConnectionId , i.e. how to use this same API to identify two or three different connection string based on number of active sessions.    Any thought would be helpful as I would like to give option to use end application based on session model name his / her application is going to get connected for automation purpose.   Thanks and Regards KEtan

Hello, I want to get a boundary curve from a Creo Parametric 3D-Model surface. Are there any useful methods in Creo Parametric Toolkit you know to get e.g. a vector of boundary curve points of a surface? My idea is to get the boundary curve by clicking on it while my TK-application is running in Creo Parametric. Thanks in advance, Florian

Repost from Part Modeling...   Just wanted to let you all know... the latest release of Nitro-PROGRAM has a NO HASSLE - FREE LICENSE option...   If you have ever struggled with seemingly never ending edit-import-fix-import-fix-import cycle of creating or editing Pro/PROGRAMs for Creo Parametric Parts or Assemblies... -OR- nearly screamed while trying to edit a Pro/PROGRAM that someone else created....   Then Nitro-PROGRAM is something you should download immediately and use!   Nitro-PROGRAM eliminates the pains and frustrations of the "text editor" and transforms the creating, editing and testing of Pro/PROGRAMs into a visual, drag-and-drop, editing love-fest by comparison.  😉     Nitro-PROGRAM saves time, reduces frustration, improves accuracy and enables you to think about the most important elements of Creo Parametric Automation -- data-flow and regeneration!   Simply Download, Unzip, Run.... and

I'm working with Creo Parametric 6.0 and I am trying to blank out components in my drawing but I am unable to select the desired component. When I try to unblank components the same component becomes visible regardless of which component I try to select but disappears when I select OK. This happens regardless of which drawing view I try to work with. I am at a loss here, can someone think of anything I should try?

Hi, I've try to apply some perspective in a drawing view, and it works ! But how can I change the scale now ? Or resize the view ?How can I remove the perspective and retrieve a traditionnal view ? (Creo 4.0)

Hello everyone,   Are any of you getting and issue where you attach a datum to a dim and CREO (drawing) creates TWO of the same datum feature symbols? This is the first drawing I have encountered this problem with. Not sure what's going on, but I can't seem to delete one of them because it deletes both datum feature symbols.    

I am looking for a way to list out all of the Draft Notes in a drawing. My automation needs to 1. open up each drawing 2. list out all of the draft notes. 3. For each draft note, export the contents it to a spreadsheet 4. Continue to the next drawing and do the same.   I know how to do all of these steps except Listing out all of the draft notes  

Hello all, I have a model that can have one of 2 different features that are controlled by a parameter and proprogram in the model. On the drawing side I have created 2 drawing states to add the unique dimensions to the drawing (one for each feature option). The drawing program looks like the following:   IF FLARE_FINISH:0 == NOSET STATE STARTENDIF IF FLARE_FINISH:0 == YESSET STATE FINISHENDIF   where FLARE_FINISH:0 is the parameter in the model that controls the features in the model.   The day that I set this all up everything worked fine. I could switch the parameter back and forth and the model and dimensions would all change as expected. The next day upon opening the same files, one of the drawing states will not properly execute. The program says that is successfully parsed and if i edit the state and run the commands everything looks right until i regen the drawing and everything in the state disappears. The drawing program is used to set a few other states. &nbsp

When I check in a part or assembly to Windchill I want to ensure that the Lock (read only) is automatically reapplied. I've configured our set-up such that all objects are set as read-only when added to a workspace, but once it is unlocked, worked on and then checked in, it remains unlocked. I haven't found the option to "relock" on checkin.   Is there such a setting?

Hi,   I would like to maintain the same piping line stock throughout the company and thought a good place would be to keep it in Windchill. I was able to place it in WCH but "looking" for it in the piping module, I cannot see it in WCH. Any idea on how to get this working? Or is it not possible and do I have to resort to keeping common line stocks in a "normal" server location?

Hello dear Creo/ProE users,   We just wanted to install newest edition of Creo 7, that is Creo 7.0.1.0 but no succes.   PTC seems that has decided to (add/delete few lines of code) eliminate usage of USB network cards with no annoucement or anything simmilar.   In newer computers is only wireless card and if it doesnt work, Creo 7.0.1.0 and newer cannot be used! Does anyone has any tought on this or possible solution?   Best Regards, CreoUser

Hello All-  I am working on the assembly family table drawing. Each instance uses the different numbers of the hardware. Is there any way creo can count the number of hardware on each assembly and can add that information on the family table column so I can show that in my drawing? I really appreciate it if someone helps me with this or any suggestion.     Thank you so much.

Good day,our server that has flexnet on it recently crashed. We' have reestablished it but then Creo no longer worked.   One thing I thought might be the issue is that the newly restored server has a new MAC address.  it did turn out that that was the case, so I went online and requested our licenses to be switched over to the new address.   we then updated the license on flexnet, however, when I try to run Creo on my local machine, I get this error:       an issue related to foundation visualization. I'm honestly not quite sure what that is for. Seems to be related to windchill?  We've tried everything and just can't get it to work (including reinstalling flexnet).  Any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated.thanks!

Hello   We have toolkit and toolkit for 3D drawing license. As we know , any API name present into documentation suggest that whether we need 3d drawing license or not apart from toolkit license...   Now , we have a big solutions where lots of api are used ... We cannot search for each api whether it is from 3d drawing license or not... How to identify quickly from entire solution that which api asking for 3d license ?   Many thanks for your help in advance.

I was looking to find a spec-sheet / product brochure for the behavioural modeling extension, but can't find such a thing on the PTC site. Has this product been discontinued?   Please direct me to the latest information on BMX.
