Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Whether it is able to do Cleanup Dimensions for the entire drawing sheet in Creo 10 via J-Link?

I want to add a reference symbol to a dimension annotation on the view in the engineering drawing, but I'm not sure what the correct way to do it is.  ProSelection sel_dim = NULL; ProError err = ProSelectionAlloc(NULL, (ProModelitem*)&dim, &sel_dim); if (err != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR) {     return; } ProSetDatumTag datum; err = ProMdlSetdatumtagCreate((ProMdl)drawing, sel_dim, NULL, L"A", &datum); if (err == PRO_TK_NO_ERROR)  {     ProAnnotationShow((ProAnnotation*)&datum, NULL, RightView);     ProWindowRepaint(PRO_VALUE_UNUSED); } ProSelectionFree(&sel_dim);

When I export a PDF, the phantom and hidden lines appear to be the same, but in the Creo drawing, it’s clearly different. The only way I found that will reflect the phantom line geometry is what I did with the line highlighted in yellow. I described how I did it below.Does anyone know how to fix this? I want to use the component display to make the lines phantomopque, and have it reflected when I export a PDF. Yellow - I went to display<Line Style<Modify Lines<PHANTOMFONTBlue - I went to Component Display<PhantomOpqueGreen - Hidden Line Here is the pen table I am usingpen 1 thickness 0.03 cm; geometrypen 2 thickness 0.005 cm; dimensionspen 3 thickness 0.02 cm; hidden; pattern .1 .1 cm;pen 4 thickness 0.005 cmpen 5 thickness 0.03 cm; sheetmetal greenpen 6 thickness 0.015 cm; curve_colorpen 7 thickness 0.001 cmpen 8 thickness 0.015 cm; green textpdf Thank you to anyone who can help.

I am working with Family tables and repeat regions, i know that adding the [.1] i can changes my family tables decimals but it seems like i can´t access to that panel to update them.Are there any solution for this??? or am i missing something??? 

Hi, In Creo 3 I was able to add a dimension to a 2d drawing and while the dimension was still highlighted red...I could change the font, color and size.  We then jumped to Creo 7, and it seems this no longer works. We are now on Creo 11, and it still doesn't work. I can change the font, and the size..but color does not stick if I just created the dimension. If the dimension is already existing, and i click on it….. i can change the color.  I want to change the color on the fly. I am trying to create a mapkey to do this, but i cannot get this color to change if I try to run the mapkey on the fly, after creating the dimension. (with the dimension still highlighted) If I run it on an already existing dimension, it works fine.What am i doing wrong? see recording   

After recently upgradeing to Creo11 from Creo7, we came across a strnage conflict where our mapkey $F2 works in drawing mode but not in Modeling mode...sometimes. As it turns out, if the layer tree is open in the model, the $F2 mapkey will not work but if it is collapsed or closed it will work.  Drawing mode is unaffected by the display of the layer tree. I understnad that everywhere in Windows and many windows programs that $F2 is for rename.  I am not sure though why Creo does not unbind this, even after the Creo dialog pops up asking the user if they want to use the key for a mapkey or for a Creo Shortcut. Even after choosing mapkey, it still is depending on if the model layer tree is open, and if you click on a layer and press F2 it will rename that layer.  I opened Creo7 and verified that it did not work this way in Creo4, regardless of layer tree display status. For a moment I thought it would be a workaround to add a collapse layer tree to the mapkey before running but of course

Creo Parametric 10.0The legacy model is in units of inches with relative accuracy; the new model is mm with absolute accuracy. The accuracies of the models are not “matched” the absolute accuracy of the new model is tighter than the legacy model relative value.I have a legacy model that was created using relative accuracy to develop a surface using a boundary blend feature. In order to match this geometry in a new design I have created this same boundary blend in Creo 10 but the topology on the interior of the quilts is not congruent when comparing models. In the new model I used copy->paste special to copy from the legacy model to the new model all of the curves used to create the boundary blend surface feature.Does anyone have any insight into this behavior? I have double checked that the boundary blend has been replicated using the same selections/constraints as the legacy model. All boundaries are free and there is no control point(s) defined in the boundary blends. The chains u

The installation media contains the following installers:setup.exe setup-schools.exe setup-trial.exeWhen I double-click setup.exe, absolutely nothing happens:No installation window appears No error message is displayed No process remains running in Task Manager Running as Administrator does not help Windows compatibility mode does not helpHowever:setup-schools.exe launches successfully setup-trial.exe launches successfullyOnly the main setup.exe fails to start.Additional InformationThe installation media is readable. installmgr.dll exists in the installation directory. Windows 11 detects the files normally. Creo 3.0 was previously installed on this computer. The issue occurs before the actual installation process begins.QuestionsIs setup.exe known to have compatibility issues with Windows 11? Does setup.exe require additional components that may not exist in modern Windows versions? Is there a supported method to bypass setup.exe and install Creo Parametric 3.0 directly? Are there any

One interesting need that comes up for multiple reasons is the need to break out Family Table Instances into standalone Models.    There are many reasons for why you want to do this - sometimes it is to avoid Family Tables being shared with vendors/customers (basically a catalog of what you make/buy/use), other times is to avoid complex relationships and dependencies (I don’t need 4,000 bolts available tagging along with an assembly when only 5 are in it).  There are many other reasons why customers want to break these out - but the biggest one is sharing without sharing too much - standalone models are just easier to deal with for user, PDM, and PLM in the end.  But Family Tables have a purpose for sure - they are great for managing the library masters; exporting the individual models is often a need for more accountability and streamlined version control.  So we created an Excel Workbook that uses Nitro-CELL break out Family Table Instances into standalone models - saving them to a s

GDT Advisor currently only supports traditional hole types.Our team uses Helicoils and Keenserts often, and including them as options in GDT Advisor would be very helpful. These holes require different notations, are there plans to include them soon?

Hey there, Issue: when sketching an arc, creo will not show the expected curve, only its end points. (Same for circles, then just its center point)The line becomes visible when zooming out (sometimes quite a bit), but I can not work with that – I need to see my lines. As far as I know that behaviour is to be expected for small sized sketches and/or far zoom-ins. My issue however is happening regardless of the dimensions, only dependent on zoom level and not heavily zoomed. This behaviour is new, it started this afternoon with no apparent reason.  Details:creo 12.4 Educational,  I have about one year experience using creo, using it frequently Windows 11 Dell XPS 17 from 2020, screen resolution at 3840x2400 GPU 0 (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060) + GPU 1 (some Intel UHD Graphics) config.pro: Graphics on win32_gdi (open_gl will render viewport into a black screen)Today I did add a second screen for a brief moment and adjusted the Windows Display Scaling from 250% to 100% and back to 250%.

There have been many requests for how to quickly Batch Export DXF, DWG, PDF, and STEP files out of Creo Parametric.  This is a common problem we all struggle - it is the boring stuff we do (a grind to setup and execute properly). We have just released some Excel Workbooks that you can download and use with Nitro-CELL (FREE or Purchased License Users) to help automate the batch exports of these formats.  They are normal Excel Workbooks that Nitro-CELL uses to execute the Batch Exports - can obtain them here: https://github.com/SimplifiedLogic/Nitro-CELL-FREE_AUTOMATIONS These are simple, easy to use, fast, and you can configure and improve them easily for your own purposes. The initial workbooks are specific to DRW, DXF, PDF, and STEP Export Automations (your local system settings and configuration options apply - so pen tables, export settings, etc.).  These automations assume an export target to a sub-directory for each file type (which is deleted/created during execution) so your res

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.3.0 I am building a parametric model derived from an anatomical scan of the lower leg to generate a custom orthosis, with the goal of regenerating the model when the input scan changes. To define a specific point on a curve within this model, I am using a feasibility study in the BMX (Behavioral Modeling) module. The study runs successfully and returns a feasible solution, but the checkbox to save the study as a feature in the model tree remains grayed out and cannot be selected. I have successfully saved a similar feasibility study as a model tree feature in the same model previously, using the same approach, so I do not believe this is a configuration issue. The behavior appears to be specific to this study. Software version: Creo Parametric [12.4.3.0] OS: Windows 11 Could you advise on what conditions must be met for the "save to model tree" option to become active, and why it might be grayed out despite a successful feasib

HeyI have a Mould that has 3 BodiesWhen I make a drawing I want to show only one of each bodies. My goal is in the 1st sheet I will show the views of  top part of the mouldin the 2nd sheet I will show the views of middle part of the mouldin the 3rd sheet I will show the views bottom part of the mouldand in the 4th sheet I will show 1 view top part and another view middle part and so on.. each sheet will have top view, bottom view and side views of the body  Please let me know how I can do it

I have Nonconformance Object, I need to get Nonconformance Review from Nonconformance object.Is there any api to get Nc Review or navigate Api will work.

is there api to .prt or .asm epmdoc from .drw epmdoc in windchill

Is there any API to bring Nonconformance Review from Nonconformance?

Hello,I am working on a Creo Toolkit customization that needs to identify features created from a UDF and generate sequences based on the original UDF feature names.As described in CS196043, when a UDF is placed in Creo Parametric, the feature names from the source UDF are not preserved in the resulting model. Because of this behavior, I cannot directly compare the placed feature names with the original UDF feature names.However, in the UDF Placement dialog, under the Options tab, the "Redefine These Features" section displays the original feature names from the source UDF. This information appears to be available somewhere internally within Creo.I reviewed the Creo Toolkit API documentation but could not find an API that provides access to the original UDF feature names.My question is:Is there any Creo Toolkit API that allows access to the original feature names shown in the "Redefine These Features" list? If not directly, is there another supported method to retrieve the mapping betw

I have a subordinate UDF that creates a set of features including an extrusion.  One of the extrusion dimensions is set as a variable dimension in the UDF and has a prompt assigned.   When the UDF is inserted, user is not prompted for the dimension.  instead, the existing value is used.  

As shown in the image below, I have defined a pipe spec that has a particular color assigned to it (in this case, green). This spec is shown to be this way in the associated Pipe Spec Directory file as well. However, despite all of this, the pipe keeps showing up as blue! I’ve updated the pipe model and regenerated the assembly but nothing seems to work. What might be causing this issue? 

Why are new features already introduced in Creo Parametric 12.4.2 and 12.4.3 listed as new in Creo Parametric 13.4.0? 

I need help with the movement of a carousel. Does anyone have any idea how to make different parts move up and down while the carousel is rotating?

Hi everyone,We've recently started using Creo 13 and noticed something about the AI assistant feature. In the demos and presentations, the AI assistant provides really impressive answers — but when we try it ourselves, it doesn't seem to generate any responses, and it doesn't appear to be running as a beta version either.Do we need to do something specific to enable the beta version, or is it simply not available yet and we need to wait?We have customers who are expecting this feature based on what they've seen in the demos, so we want to make sure we're not delivering an incomplete solution. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Hi all,I'm working on a Windchill-integrated template library for Creo Parametric (currently on Creo 8, i am updating to 12). The setup is a web-based app (HTML + JavaScript using Pro/Web.Link) that displays a catalog of assembly templates stored in Windchill and allows users to insert them into an active assembly The core problem:When a user selects a template from the catalog, the app needs to do a recursive "Save As" of the entire template hierarchy — renaming every template-owned component to a new order-specific name — before assembling it. This is necessary because each insertion must be independent and order-specific (e.g., MY_PART_0001_CC1234 instead of the original MY_PART_TEMPLATE_CC0000).In Creo 8 we used a Rename → Save → Rename-back pattern via the API (pfcModel.Rename, pfcModel.Save), which worked well:Check out the template root (pulling all children via CheckoutMultipleObjects with includeDependencies = true) Build a bottom-up dependency graph Rename each model to its n
