Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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?

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..
