Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello,   I'm Working with CREO 6, and I have experienced quiete few unexpected crashes. I  have no experience with CREO 4.0 But it's a long term release, and 6.0 a short term release. My question is, Is CREO4.0 more stable, and with less bugs, than CREO 6.0? Now with all files created, it's impossible for me, to go back to 4.0, but probably I will evaluate to work only with long term releases, like CREO 7.0

Hello All- When I go to my windows folder (where I created my family table on creo) I cannot find the instances name (can only see the generic name) but if I open the same folder from Creo I can see all the instances name. Is there any way I can get the instance(model) in my windows folder as well, so I can search it windows folder? I can see the .idx file which includes all the instance p/n. Is there any way that I can get the cad files of instances on the windows folder? I would really appreciate if someone guides me on this.   Thank you so much for your help.  

Hi,I want to verify the family table in the existing part file using VB.NET. Because of some values are updated even if i use regenerate process table not verified.Please help me if you anyone know the process / idea.Balaji.S

I need to show the weld sequence on one part of a large assembly.  To make the information easier to read, I want to show the weld sequence on a detail view.  However, "Show Model Annotations" on the Detail View says for Symbols "No annotations can be shown in the current sheet/view for the selected objects".  I can only show the weld annotations on the General View (which is too large to be of any use on a printed sheet). I have tried layer visibility (all weld features are in their own layer), but again, this only works on the General View.   I could manually create new weld annotations on the Detail View, but the weld and the annotations already esist in the model, so it seems stupid to have to re-create them by hand. How can I show weld annotations from the model on a Detail View? [I'm running creo 5.05]

The Flexible Modeling Modify Analytic feature enables you to edit analytic geometry, such as cylinders, cones, spheres, and tori. In this video tutorial, you can learn the difference between Modify analytic feature and Flexible Offset.

The Flexible Modeling Offset feature provides the ability to offset geometry, extend the resulting surfaces to attach them to the surrounding geometry and recreate the existing rounds if needed.  

Greetings, I am working on an assembly where the Windows folder contains approximately 850 files (parts + assemblies). Over the course of the design's evolution and design lifecycle, different variations of designs were tried out and refined by either adding more parts or replacing others. Now that the design is near being finalized, I wish to trim down the folder to only have what is needed. When the BOM gets generated, I see out of the 850 files, approx. 120 of them are used. This means we have hundreds of orphaned files that are no longer be used and won't ever be used.   Please keep in mind, these files are NOT caused by Creo making a new copy every time you hit Save. I have FILE_SAVE_ITERATIONS as off.   Any advice?

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 request a FREE License...&nbsp

Creo Insight Extension:Problem failure to define the Force_Sensor_A.prt parameter     Tank you

Hello, I am trying to create an Asynchronous application I had one working using the pfcasync.jar Creo library but now i need the wfc package methods and those do not exist in pfcasync.jar. SO i transitioned to the otk.jar and this package is missing pfcAsynConnection which is what i had been using to create a connection to Creo. I was wondering if there was a way to create an Asynchronous connection with Creo using the otk.jarAny help would be appreciated,  Thanks, Jack

Our Toolkit or Web.Link plugin program need to save some data among different revisions. The data better goes with CAD files .drw .prt or .asm. Is this possible? 

Does anyone have techniques or suggestions on how to model MLI for cartoon purposes? Ideally it would have some crinkle in it like normal MLI. I have tried doing surface offsets but for complicated geometry that doesn't really work. If you are not familiar with MLI then think of the problem as trying to model a bed sheet that is tightly draped over your geometry.

Hi, I would like a SOLID model of attached IGES. It comes in as a quilt. Need to apply a weight. Can someone tell me how to do this? Or if you can do it simply enough that would be awesome. I am helping a colleague. Need in CREO 6.0. Or perhaps redone as an import in solid form. Much Thanks! WayneF

We have a process to automate shrink-wrap creation for customers.   Seems that you can either turn fill holes on our off.  Would be ideal to fill internal features to remove IP but keep external features like mounting holes.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Hi everyone, I disturb you for a problem I have in generating the ".stl" files (in binary format), starting from a ".prt".For some files there are no problems, for others the attached message appears.I have to export the models to ".stl" to use them on a simulation program that we have to test. I kindly ask you if there is any way (e.g. values to be set) to solve the problem, because I have no experience with ".stl" files. Thank you,Matteo

We all are moving at the speed of light it seems to get models and drawings "done"... so it is no surprise that the silly details like model parameters often slip through the cracks until the very end.   Some of the biggest struggles we see are often found in the "grind" required to do mass fixes/updates in Creo Model Parameters.  This a simple example - but highlights some important concepts for:   extracting creo parameter data to Excel Tables transforming parameter values via Power Query importing parameter changes from Excel Tables to Creo   The good news - everything in this video can be done for FREE using Nitro-CELL. 😎   Just request a FREE License and step through the video and you should be rocking pretty quickly.   Have fun!   Dave

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?
