Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello Community,   for a Presentation where I want to explain a couple of basic physical principles I need a picture of a deformed model, which I can get fairly easy but only with the blue color or the color from the corresponding meassurment unit. What I am looking for is a way to show my deformed Model but with the colors I originaly used in the model (e.g. Metal Color and so on). Is there a way to achieve this? Maybe via exporting my deformed Model in some way? I tried some "workarounds" but non worked so far... Best regards, Lukas

I ran a 4 axis tool path a while ago and didn't have any trouble. This was with Creo 2.0, we just switched to Creo 5.0 and now I am having trouble doing it now. I am trying to do a surface mill but it only shows 3 axis available. I went back and looked at the Work center and I have the number of axis's picked to 4. I used this same work center on the other program but it doesn't seem to work the same. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or if I am missing a setting somewhere else. Can someone give me some hints?   Thanks 

Hello, In Creo 5, I am creating a custom BOM balloon.  In the custom symbol, I have added a note below the balloon to allocate space for entering quantity manually as shown.  After placing the BOM balloon, shouldn't there be a way to change the value for 'QTY'?  Double-clicking the balloon, there is no option to do so it seems.  Thanks.  

Hello! Creo 7.0 encountered the following error: Pattern type Table (for example set relation $d12=d6)- does not change dimension after regeneration.    

Hello,    I am having issues meshing my weld that connects the curved side of the tube to the flat part of the plate (please see attached photo). The error mentions that I should "modify my geometry". My guess is the weld converges to a sharp angle that makes the weld hard to mesh (I assume).   I have the following questions: What is the best way to modify the geometry of the weld?  What meshing controls should I use, if any?   I have been wasting too much time on this and need to make progress. Many thanks in advance for the help! Also, side note, where does everyone go to find the answers to their Creo 4 questions. I cannot find that many reliable resources! Anyone recommend a YouTube channel or a website? Is here the best place to find answers? Surely not...    

Hello, Is it possible to make a variable chamfer (as variable round)  in creo2 ? In set option, I have on line # 1 : with size of chamfer.Is it possible to choose an edge and set chamfer size to 5 on one extremity and 10 on the other, for example ? Thanks

Hello All   I would like to push Creo to create automaticaly drawing or at least in existing drawing, single view (with prefixed orientation from model) of every model from indicated folder. layout or pattern of such created views is secondary to me. Advantage would be to have appropriate model name and scale above of every view   Is something like that possible at all? thank you in advance  

We recently switched from Creo 4.0 M090 to M130. Since then we experience that every movement of a dimension in drawings will cause that this dimension is added to the varied elements of the inheritance. I have no idea if there is an option or a config setting to control this behavior. Maybe someone has an idea for me?   greetings  

Hi I have this case of assembly with screw washer - nut washer and another washer and nut  how i can assenbly this example with ifx?  Is possible insert only a nut with ifx?

If I constrain a part based off datums/features in a skeleton, how do I re-use that part constrained in a different location without creating a circular reference? When I first create the part, I constrain it to the skeleton via coordinate system. What do I need to do in order to use that part in a different location within the assembly? I would like to keep it the same part number and remain parametrically linked. 

Hi, I am trying to simulate an oven curing profile that behaves as a 'ramp' which linearly increases until reaching the desired setpoint. When trying to do this in the convection option, I get to the convection condition and try to define the bulk temperature Tb temporal variation as a function of time. Even though I do this, the value option below also requires an input.   By setting the temporal variation, why is the value also necessary? This is not a constant value. In addition, I verify the temperature within the temporal variation function but once the simulation runs the temperature is vastly different (higher). Is there an operation/function that I am missing?

Hi All   I am doing connection to Creo using VB API. We have Creo 4.0 M090. Everything was working fine and we were able to connect to Creo but suddenly application got crashed and some error occurred which I am not sure.   Post this issue, Connection.start API which was working is throwing error as per subject i.e. RPC_E_SERVERFAULT.    Could anyone throw some light on this?   Thanks in advance...!   Regards Ketan

I have assemblies with many versions of an assembly in one large file. Is it possible to use a list of part numbers in an excel sheet to activate/select the parts needed to create a simplified rep. All of the parts exist in the assembly, it is just time consuming searching through the model tree trying to find the 50 to 100 parts I need out of the thousand or so parts in the top assembly. I have used excel in the past to calculate values to build shafts from so I can do the interface part, I just need it as an advanced "selection" tool. The existing method of picking parts to create a rep are limited. Thanks for any help, Gary-

Does anyone have a flexible zip tie model they are willing to share?  Both for usage in a design, but also so I can break apart the different aspects to model other simple flexible parts.Thanks in advance!

I know that PTC has received a lot of slack for the way they implemented the Creo Ribbon UI.  To be sure, there are things I don't like and could be improved on, but BY FAR it is the best ribbon implementation that I have seen in any other program.  Although selective click (where you have to be on the right tab to select stuff) was a poor decision and remains the UI biggest challenge for users, I specifically appreciate: How everything on the UI can be customized (can even create a custom tab to click on anything!😃) How an admin .ui file can be distributed but that the user .ui wins whenever there is a contradiction. How using the same name for a tab and group can now allow for propagation (and can be turned off if desired). Command Search: My favorite feature which is the search functionality that teaches the user where the commands are, and even search custom mapkeys and again highlights where they are in the ribbon.  Still no other program does this this as well as

Is there a way to create an annotation feature using a driven dimension?Apparently the function ProAnnotationfeatCreate() and ProAnnotationfeatElementAdd() only allow to add an annotation element to an annotation feature. A driven dimension annotation is not an annotation element and I don't see a function to convert it into one. So how does one create an annotation feature using a driven dimension?

Hi   I had a drawing sheet having table present into it... By looking at first glance , I could identify that it has three rows and 4 columns... Unfortunately , all the columns were merged for top two rows and table has actually four rows and four columns. Is there a way to get property details of table rows and columns for a table ?   I am having Creo 4.0 M070.

Hi All,   I want to put 4 welds around a pipe.  The pipe is welded to the flat plate.  The issue is that I want the welds to be centered on the quadrants, yet Creo seem to only want to start at the quadrants..   I can't seem to set a negative start point, and the 'center welds' option seems to be broken..  And I can't see to set a uniform way to get these welds.. 

Is it possible in sheetmetal flexible modeling to change the default options when editing a bend to have Anchor Apex active and use "Constant wall Height" as default for Bending editing option.   99.9998% of the time you want to change bend radii of a customer's solidworks/etc... file you don't want the flange to move or become larger. So the current default values creates extra work by having to select options to get the size and position back to normal.   The part dimensions should stay as in the original file by default.

Hello there!Currently we provide design validation checks for manufacturability --Injetion Molding design (Bosses ,Ribs, Draft, thin Steel conditions, flow problems)-SheetMetal design (Bends, hems, feature distances)-Machining design (Milling, Drilling, Turning)-Castings design ( wall thickness)-Assembly checks ( Clearance support component, sub-assembly )Current capabilities can be understood from here :Current support from WF4 to Creo 1.0.http://dfmpro.geometricglobal.com/DFMPro_demo/index.htmlI am looking for user requirements on Assembly side-Some questions of Assembly:1) How do you currently ensure fastener engagement? Clearance, length2) Hole alignment, missing holes, missing fasteners?3) What would be other challenges on assembly? like clashing of components.4) Any other inputs?your feedback will be highly appreciated!Regards,Prashant

We have run into a problem setting up our floating licenses. The server is up and running and the licenses are found with no problems during the installation. However, when starting CREO Parametric, the program is unable to connect to the license server... Initially, the port was blocked, but before that issue was lifted, the server wasn't even found during the installation.   How should we go about fixing this? 

CREO 5 I have a part with a merge/inheritance feature as the first feature, which references a different part, but this feature is set to 'Manual Update'.  Why then is there a yellow triangle in my model tree indicating that the referenced part is not in session?  Manual Update should imply that the link is broken, right?  Hence, the option to select 'Automatic Update', which would continuously search for the referenced part?  If I select 'No Dependency' will the link be broken with the referenced part for good, or can it be re-established?

Hello,   In CREO 5, I regenerated an assembly model, saved, and was prompted to regenerate?  Then, I clicked OK and still had the regenerate icon showing in the lower-right corner of the graphics window.  Can someone explain what is going on with this regeneration obsession by Creo, why isn't it satisfied, and why isn't it telling me why it isn't satisfied?  Thank you.

Hello everyone,   today i discovered a little problem. When i tried to save a part to JPEG file, it apeared that it has purple gradient in the picture even though i have my background set to pure white color. I have also discovered that it only appear when i set my resolution to anything higher that 100 DPI, everything higher what 100 DPI will include the gradient colors in the picture.   Thanks in advance.
