Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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.. 

Is it possible in sheetmetal flexible modeling to change the default options when editing a bend to have Anchor Apex active and use "Constant wall Height" as default for Bending editing option.   99.9998% of the time you want to change bend radii of a customer's solidworks/etc... file you don't want the flange to move or become larger. So the current default values creates extra work by having to select options to get the size and position back to normal.   The part dimensions should stay as in the original file by default.

Hello there!Currently we provide design validation checks for manufacturability --Injetion Molding design (Bosses ,Ribs, Draft, thin Steel conditions, flow problems)-SheetMetal design (Bends, hems, feature distances)-Machining design (Milling, Drilling, Turning)-Castings design ( wall thickness)-Assembly checks ( Clearance support component, sub-assembly )Current capabilities can be understood from here :Current support from WF4 to Creo 1.0.http://dfmpro.geometricglobal.com/DFMPro_demo/index.htmlI am looking for user requirements on Assembly side-Some questions of Assembly:1) How do you currently ensure fastener engagement? Clearance, length2) Hole alignment, missing holes, missing fasteners?3) What would be other challenges on assembly? like clashing of components.4) Any other inputs?your feedback will be highly appreciated!Regards,Prashant

We have run into a problem setting up our floating licenses. The server is up and running and the licenses are found with no problems during the installation. However, when starting CREO Parametric, the program is unable to connect to the license server... Initially, the port was blocked, but before that issue was lifted, the server wasn't even found during the installation.   How should we go about fixing this? 

CREO 5 I have a part with a merge/inheritance feature as the first feature, which references a different part, but this feature is set to 'Manual Update'.  Why then is there a yellow triangle in my model tree indicating that the referenced part is not in session?  Manual Update should imply that the link is broken, right?  Hence, the option to select 'Automatic Update', which would continuously search for the referenced part?  If I select 'No Dependency' will the link be broken with the referenced part for good, or can it be re-established?

Hello,   In CREO 5, I regenerated an assembly model, saved, and was prompted to regenerate?  Then, I clicked OK and still had the regenerate icon showing in the lower-right corner of the graphics window.  Can someone explain what is going on with this regeneration obsession by Creo, why isn't it satisfied, and why isn't it telling me why it isn't satisfied?  Thank you.

Hello everyone,   today i discovered a little problem. When i tried to save a part to JPEG file, it apeared that it has purple gradient in the picture even though i have my background set to pure white color. I have also discovered that it only appear when i set my resolution to anything higher that 100 DPI, everything higher what 100 DPI will include the gradient colors in the picture.   Thanks in advance.  

Is anyone aware of a method to obtain the transform matrix between two CSYS features using built in Creo functions? The measure transform function generates the transposed matrix of the matrix which transforms coordinates based on the second selected CSYS  to that based on the first selected CSYS. I would like to obtain the transform matrix but can not find any internal function available for relations or a direct analysis to generate this matrix.   I would then use the transform matrix values in some relations to drive additional features.

Hello all,   I am working to add PMI to our part and assembly data. I noticed that a lot of ISO or ASME standard symbols are not available for Creo 3.  What is the best way to add them? Is there a library available and how do I add them to use for GD&T (Annotate)? Can I make some myself? How?   Sorry for the many, basic questions. I need to start updating some PMI for the parts I'm working on. 

I have a series of holes on a planar surface. The surface was created with a blind extrude to a dimension. I wanted the extrusion height to be dimensioned to a different feature than the sketching plane, so I created a plane referencing the desired feature and made the extrude up to that surface. When I did that all of the holes "lost" the surface they were anchored on, even though it's the exact same surface of the exact same feature only dimensioned differently. So now I have to go through and redefine the placement surface for all the holes. Only when I redefine the surface, Creo (4.0) repositions the hole based on where I click the "new" surface and redefines all the offset dimensions I had locating the hole. I tried every different way I could think of, but in the end I had to redefine all the holes after writing down all the dimensions I had locating them as well as deleting all of the mirrors/patterns I had of these holes and doing those completely over from scratch. Did I miss

I was searching for a way to "merge uses" like you can do in the CAD structure view, but in the Compare to Part Structure Tool.  Quantities of common components can be viewed side by side when comparing the design view to the engineering view.  But not when comparing the CAD structure to the design part structure.  I would like these to function the same way so there is not a ton of scrolling through large assemblies with common components.

Hello everyone,   I made a Wankel engine for an uni assignment and currently try to make an analysis of the rotation of the eccentric shaft. Sadly the analysis stops everytime after just 63 frames and notifies me to regenerate the model. I uploaded the model in the thread, I need help quickly, as the deadline is the 31st 😥   Best regards Nxt

Is anyone using MBD for manufacturing OP models? Basically, I have my part (that is being machined) with different Simp Reps to show each OP, I assemble fixture(s) and then start annotating and showing the different OPs within combo states. Everything looks pretty good and then when I try to output to Creo View or 3dPDF (Anark), nothing recognizes my part level Simp Reps so the correct representation never gets shown for my operations.     Again, everything looks great in Creo Parametric so this is very frustrating because I never get a deliverable that is acceptable. At the moment, I think my only work around is to stay in Part mode rather than creating an assembly and bring fixturing in as Copy Geom surface models. 

Is there any option to Combine the simple and 2 D repeat regions, and can i show the quantity on family table bill of material, is that possible.

Hi all,   I'm currently attempting a fairly meaty (read: probably overly-ambitious) contact analysis, and trying to make it run as efficiently as possible!   In particular, I'm wondering whether adding some user-defined load steps ('time steps') could help convergence by allowing the model to 'settle' quickly at, say, 0.1 or 0.01 of full load, and thus solve more easily when the full load is subsequently applied; or is it quickest to just leave it to its own devices, going straight to load step 1?   Has anyone run any tests? Does anyone know whether the convergence from a previous step is carried forwards to the next, or indeed whether it helps if so?   Thanks!

Removing the coloring, the model is of a very bright white color.It looks like an excessive reflection of light.Depends on what?Could it be tied to an old color.map instead of the appearance map?

The wait is officially OVER... Nitro-CELL v11.0 is here!   We are VERY proud of this release... a long time coming - over 100 new functions for reading/writing native Excel Tables and supporting Excel Power Query as part of your Creo Parametric Automation workflows.     Nitro-CELL is also being released with a NO HASSLE ...  FREE License Option...       Enjoy!   Dave    

Im trying to add a copied body skeleton in my motion skeleton assembly, this is possible but its placed in the top of the assembly (what happens when you place a skeleton in a normal assembly). I would expect to be able to move the new body skeleton down to the bottom of the modeltree but this is not possible (in Creo 5). Any help would be appreciated.

need to know how to control decimal places of family table parameters in drawing family table itself

Anyone knows how can I download this example of PTC at sessions for New's of Creo 7?

As above. I can obviously attach the symbol to an entity but i want to attach to a dimension witness line.   Thanks

Bonjour, Est-il toujours possible d'acquérir la version 3.0 de creo parametric? Car à mon ancien travail j'ai utiliser ce logiciel durant plusieurs années(dont je le connais bien, et le maîtrisais bien), mais ayant quitter cette entreprise, j'aurais souhaiter l'avoir pour mon utilisation personnelle à la maison.   Si oui, avez vous un ordre de prix, ou si éventuellement, il est possible de racheter une license à un ancien utilisateur par exemple.   Merci par avance.
