Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have an identification table (1 row) that I insert into a drawing and it contains &ID1:D.When I insert the table I get flagged with the 'ADD PARAM' menu. From here I select string, type my new value, and &ID1 gets added as a parameter in my drawing.I would like to be able to add a 2nd ID table that gets bumped to &ID2:D, so that on every table insert I get an additional parameter created in my drawing. These id's can range to well over 100. So simply creating (2) different tables, one with ID1 and one with ID2, will not solve my problem. Is this even possible? Thanks for your help!

I've found instructions to toggle a custom layer that include writing two .pro configs, then referencing those in the mapkey, but those instructions are from around 2012, and I'm wondering if there is a more straightforward way to toggle a custom layer with a single mapkey. I've currently got a mapkey that hides a custom layer, "CURVES", with the following code: mapkey z ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree` 1 \mapkey(continued) `node0:CURVES`;\mapkey(continued) ~ RButtonArm `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree` `node0:CURVES`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdViewHide` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ PopupOver `main_dlg_cur` `LayerActionMenu` 1 `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree`; Is it possible to modify this to allow for toggling? Currently using Creo 11.0.4.0

Hello. I'm creating a car in Creo Parametric 9.0. I'm currently modeling a wheel arch and need help. I don't know how to connect the arch to another surface. Here's a screenshot to help you understand what I mean:

I am using CREO 8 to assemble a large pallet-racking structure for a big storage system, with significant height, length, and width. I would prefer not to use shrinkwraps or IGES/STEP files, because I want my model to update with any modifications. Additionally, I need to be able to visualize the holes. Could you suggest ways to make the assembly lighter?

I am learning about various analysis tools in Creo 10.0.4.0, and can't seem to find a specific explanation of how the 'Section Thickness' tool works. I (think) the related Thickness tool works by ray-tracing a perpendicular line through every surface, and expected the Section Thickness tool must work similarly, except I'm struggling to interpret the highlighted regions it produces in order to assert where those lines are.  In the screenshot below, I have created a model with a revolved section around the bottom of a sketch that looks like a 4-step staircase, 1 inch long with 0.25 inch steps. I have set the maximum and minimum thicknesses to 1.5 and 0.6, so from the geometry, I expect the last step should have some indication that, measured from top to bottom, it is 2 inches long. However, we only get these minimum sections highlighted, which obviously correspond to areas that would be under minimum, but I still struggle to understand how those lines are traced out. 

Why objects which is regenerated in creo changes it's state from to after regeneration. Object is read only why has it been chagned during regeneration?

Is there a way to modify the end of this wire so that it's in line with the other one (red). and follows those? dots? Also has anyone experienced manually routing a wire and once a new segment has been made it lays itself directly on top of something that has already been routed? Flattening seems to be really tricking and annoying a lot of the times the wires won't move in the plane that I want when trying to put them right beside each other. No matter what I mess with nothing really seems to change how the segment reacts. There are also times that I use the move segment tool and if i move it to far from the original position the segment disappears and the segment in the model tree goes red and I can't undo it I have to flattened that segment again. Hoping someone can shed some light on this as its really frustrating to deal with.

First, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for GRANITE questions. If not, please point me to the appropriate community. I'm creating a KBody instance and for some reason KBody::IsReversed() is returning true. When I ask the triangulator to create tristrips for me, they are coming back with the normals pointing inwards. Is it up to me to reverse the tristrips and normals? Cory

We have a number of users encountering an issue on startup. Whenever we turn on a PC and open an instance of Creo 11.0.4.0, we get an error with the heading "License Warning" and the message "License request failed for feature".  (see attached image) Our current workaround is going to Windows Services and restarting "lmadmin_ptc". This has to be done every time after a computer is restarted or shut down. I've tried reconfiguring the licenses and reinstalling the license server, but haven't found a fix for this. It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to not have this extra step every time we run Creo after a shutdown.

we are using Creo 9best way convert these segmented surfaces to 1 continuous surface ?thanksRich  

I want to add some kind of table that can determine bend radius according to sheet thickness i am switching from solid edge

Looking for a way to put heat shrink on a harness and have it show up in the BOM. Ideally, I have a "part" for the heat shrink and I add to where ever its needed on the harness. Then it totals how much I used and throughs it into the BOM. Is this possible in the same way the spools are done? Or are there other ways to do this?

Hi team I have a doubt regarding how to calculate the smallest distance between edges using the toolkit. This is specifically for a sheet metal part.Does anyone know how to accurately calculate the edge-to-edge distances or if there’s any workaround available for this? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.I've attached the image for your reference.

Hi,  Is there anyway to include level in the index for a multi-layer BOM. For example, I like to have index "1" for first level of assembly and "1.1" as the 2nd level, "1.1.1" for 3rd level and so on and so forth? This is the format of the ERP system required to import the data into it.  I am using Creo 9. In the table repeat region can only have "rpt.idex" or "rpt.level".. But "rpt.level" on show 1,2.3.. for the level.  Thanks 

We have many models that were created with an older start part, meaning that some layer rules did not get applied before the model was released. One of these critical rules is to put the auto-generated hole note on a layer and then hide it.Now we are working in an assembly with these parts in it.  These auto-generated hole notes are showing up at the assembly level.  Is there a way to hide them without revising the already released part?  Is there a layer rule that can be used to collect an annotation from a lower level part and then hide it?

Hello everyone,How can I remove the "Expand All" command from the navigation trees?It’s an extremely annoying icon.Thank you in advance for your help.Pavel

My company recently gave us 3DCONNEXION spaceballs and they're pre-mapped with a special orientation wheel menu. I don't use a spaceball, but I would like to assign that function to one of my mouse buttons. Is this possible? 

does anyone know how to fix this creo license issue  the status of the license says unreachable

Is there a Quick Installation Guide and a Product Code for Creo 12 Student Edition? If so, where can I find them?

Welche Lizenz benötige ich zur Verwendung von "Creo Ansys Simulation" in Creo Parametric 11.0?

Hello all,i am having a hard time trying to model a part based off the measurement report that we have gotten and i am wondering what i am doing wrong or how to more accurately model the part.  when i try to use a sweep function, i find that one or more corners (depending on if it has 3 or 4 faces) tend to be slightly off. is there a different function i can use to force creo to make a body that fits within the coordinate boundaries? the surfaces should be flat .    CREO Parametric 6.0.6.0 

Hello, I am looking to ensure a connector is related correctly to another subassembly. I would like to relate this connector to a skeleton model, but am having trouble doing so. This connector was originally brought in through ECAD/MCAD collaborator with an IDX export from my ECAD tool. If I delete all the instances from the ECAD import and manually place these related to the skeleton model I am unable to push their locations back to ECAD. I am using version 10.0.4.0. Thanks in advance for your help,Tanner

What is the funtion for the section option, "Single Part Surface"? How do I reverse the command?

Hello, I need to start out by saying Im new to Options modeler, trying to explore the possibilities. In my scenario, I am creating a configurable product of a Hydraulic cylinder. In this scenario I have some options like Bore size, port type, temperature range etc. Is it possible to suppress or un suppress certain features of one of the parts, for eg. the cylinder barrel can have different type of port feature based on the option selected. Additionally for option like temperature, I need to be able to switch the material of certain parts in the cylinder. Im exploring this since the permutations and combinations keep growing and my understanding is that you can only add or remove a part/sub-assembly in the final BOM. The current approach would involve having a CAD part for every Port configuration and different parts for every material which again is not promoting reuse.
