Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi All,   Its strange that I am trying to apply a chamfer on one corner i.e. in the form of Angle x D. But creo is showing me only two options i.e. OXO and O1XO2. Please see below screenshot.Can anyone, please explain the root cause of it.? I want Angle X D as well Thank you in Advance.

I was trying to add some new mapkeys to our custom tab in the ribbon in Creo 4-m090 and I discovered, much to my consternation that it's propagating those options to all modes of the ribbon. GRRRRRR!!!!   I've finally saw the help doc and David Martin's video on this subject. I suppose some would think this is an enhancement. I don't, it's an irritation, and it wasn't obvious how to change it without referring to additional documentation. A radio button in the UI to propagate or not propagate would have been helpful instead of hiding it under a right click.    My mapkeys are mode dependent. I don't want to add mapkeys to the ribbon in a mode where it will fail. Right clicking on each thing I add to limit it to a specific mode seems like a lot of extra work.    I'm hoping there is a hidden config that will restore the behavior to the old method where you have to be in the mode to add things to that mode. Is there such an option?   I didn't see one in the st

Community, Is there a way to make a leader note that contains a non-leader balloon note that has a number?  For example, you have a leader note that contains part number and beside the part number will be a circled item number.  I want to combine the two so if I need to move the view, the two will float with the view.

Unable to load the custom drawing format (.frm) in proe session the error says :'format' does not exist in the database..whrere format.frm is the drwaing format please let me know how i can load the format

Does anyone know of an EASY way to get the projected area of an ASM in a particular direction normal to a plane?   I want to use this to find the maximum "windward frontal area" to use in performing Wind Loading calculations on a substation structure.   Thanks in advance of anyone's assistance! I appreciate the BoK(Bevy of Knowledge) of this community.

I've been using Modelcheck in Creo 5 for a few months now, as I configure our setup from Creo 4 and prepare for training and migration. I would like to provide feedback: The number on top, next to the Errors and Warnings, would seem to be a cumulative value of all of the numbers of errors and warnings within the subsections, due to the same way they are identified. For instance, in the below picture, if a user was expanding a random section, he would assume there is nothing in Design Intent and Feature as there are already three errors listed and 1 warning:Rather, if we expand all sections, we see more errors:Although I understand that the number on top is the check# and the number next to the checks are the quantity #, it is confusing since they are identified the same way  I'm not sure users care whether errors or warnings are identified as Design Intent, Feature, Component or Misc. Whatever the organization has identified as important will be an error and whatever th

Hello   Can I have Creo installed on my machine with two different languages in single installation?   If so, How can I set language either from two installed language without doing re installation?   Any idea would be of much help.   Thanking you!   Regards Ketan

1. I have a toolkit "Callback ProTkdllFunction" named io() as listed below. 2. Call io() from Web.Link OK but count of the output ProArguments from io() is always 0 while it should be 1. 3. Problem must be somewhere in the function io()  <-- I need help to find it. The way to call io() from Web.Link : sess.GetProToolkitDll("115937605053").ExecuteFunction("io",iArg)  The result from io() is partially correct : {    "FunctionReturn": 32,  <--- echo the iArg.value.v.i correctly    "OutputArguments": {}  } result.OutputArguments {    "Count": 0  <==== should be 1, what's wrong in the function io()  ????}   #define DllExport __declspec( dllexport ) DllExport int io(ProArgument * inputs, ProArgument ** outputs){ ProArgument *args; // compose the output ProArgument array , refer to protkdoc/api/provalue_h.html ProArrayAlloc(1,sizeof(ProArgument),1,(Pro

In these tutorials, you can learn How to create a model of a roller coaster - El Toro Six Flags based on Picture. 3D modeling of Wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure I will share with you in a couple of tutorials.  

I have a problem with colors in simulation results. This problem occurs when I want to show results with continuous tone. PC specs: CPU - i5 6600K, GPU - GTX 1060 6GB, W10 64bit, drivers are updated, I have tried also clean boot of Windows.

In Windchill 10.1, In the folder view of any container, when you click on the name field of any document, it takes you to the details page of the document. So the names are actually hyperlinks to the details of the document. My requirement is to export these hyperlinks from windchill into excel sheet using export list to xlsx from actions menu in the folder page Please reply if any one had an idea of how this can be done

Hello, I'm trying to create a part using sheet metal option, so I could unbend, cut, etc... and band back. The part is similar to a rolled corrugated paper strip. My plan to use a 2D spiral curve base and add pattern features along its sweep direction equally spaced.   Can I do it with Creo Sheetmetal? I couldn't figure out an easy way to do that. The pictures below show I am trying to create:

Hello I need to delete some components in an assembly with jlink. I noticed the method Model.Delete() but when i use it nothing seems to be deleted. I havent seen any examples with this method call.   Thank you Regards  

Is it possible to use ModelCheck to see if a drawing has a particular table? I've tried using the TABLE_CELLS and DRW_TABLE_CELLS but this check seems very limited and only activates if the table exists in the first place.

Simple case, I want to update the model mass, then this value being updated automatically in an excel cell. Is that possible ?. thanks in advance

Hi,   On 6.0.   Is it possible to redefine the ordinate origin of zero? See attached.   I can redefine each dimension off zero by right mouse clicking. But no options to relocate zero.   Do they all have to be done over?   Thanks,   WayneF

I created a drawing with datum feature symbols A, B, C & D in 2D drawing mode for a part. Then I saved the drawing/part as another part number to create a similar part. After some model editing on the new part, the datum feature symbol for datum D went missing. When I tried to create a new datum feature symbol D, the next letter Creo wanted to use was E. When I manually forced it to D, an error window said that it was a "Duplicated Label". There was no entry in the drawing tree for a datum D symbol.   Anybody else come across this and find a solution?   Thanks, Shane

Hello all.   I´ll post again something that I have included in another post (Question about weight link and distance of the dependent side) – but now with a new interpretation.   Creo Simulate has a classical example that a component is replaced by a point at CG and its mass. This CG point is connected to respective anchor points.   An example would be a motor block connected to a frame. The goal is to verify the eigenfrequency of the frame. To include the motor block in the meshing is thus not needed. CG and mass (or advanced mass) is enough. If the CG of the motor is connected to the beds via rigid links the eigenfrequency of the frame is completely different than using weighted link – nothing new here.   But we can also think that the block is rigid enough – but not really the connection. Each motor-frame connection transmits only forces – but not moments. A ball joint link. This should be possible to simulate but it would require one weighed link for each connec

Hello, I would like to make a relation in a part to inhibate a fonction thomething like this: IF NBR_DOTS ==0 fontion is inibate endif   Thanks for your help.

I want to call out in a note in the drawing automatically the value of the drawing property "projection_type". How can I do this? I tried with "&projection_type" but was not successful.   Thx, Peter  

Hi,   I have a lot of assemblys that have to retrieve parts/assemblys from other folders. One solution that worked, was to add lines into the search.pro-file, that points to the folder, in which the parts are stored.   But I think that it slows creo down when I add a lot of paths into the search.pro-file. Especially when I work from home it takes a lot of time to open files. Most of the time the assemblys have to retrieve files from only 2-3 folders. Then the other 20-30 folders in the search.pro-file are senseless. I added so many folders because I want to be flexible and don't have to edit the search.pro-file every time I open another model.   Is there a solution for this problem ? I tried to put a search.pro-file directly into the folder where the main-assembly-file is (which loads the other files) but creo doesn't load it automatically.   Thanks, Maik        

Hi   I would like to speed up as much as possible the working directory setting. Our final working directory is often a number that can vary from 1 to 9999 I would like to set up a procedure started with a mapkey (or, if it makes sense, any other way) asking this item code number and setting the working directory. The directory before this item code number can be the same (if the customer is the same) or can change (if the Customer is another one)   Let's make an example:   N:\ProE_Docs\Forgings\CustomerName1\10N:\ProE_Docs\Forgings\CustomerName1\123N:\ProE_Docs\Forgings\CustomerName2\9999 So, this path can change on the last two directories.Is that possible to read a database where every item code number  is assigned to a CustomerName, in order to know how to set the right path for that item?In this way, when I call the macro, an input ask me the item number, read on the database to know the CustomerName assigned to that item code number and than the working direct

For our plastic parts, we have a tool table that tracks the Rev of the tool for the plastic part separately from the drawing itself. This way, we can revise the drawing for a spelling mistake without changing the tool Rev. Is this what is typically found in the industry? What do you guys do, if not this? 

I have generally tried to convert assemblies to parts via Shrinkwrap for the purpose of IDF import. However, in some cases, I cannot get a shrinkwrapped assembly to include all of the necessary features, and quite often the shrinkwrapped file size is many times greater than the sum of the original parts, regardless of the number of repetitions in the assembly.   I also don't want to dump all of the files in those assemblies into the flat structure that contains all of the ECAD parts. I want to keep the assemblies in subfolders or zip archives.   However, Creo Parametric cannot locate my .asm files in zip archives or subfolders. Is there an option that will enable this?
