Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi Everyone,Is there any way to make a coordinate system visualy larger, maybe my eyes are not what they used to be, but seeing what axis is what is difficult. Thanks.Bob Rizzari

Hi,   I have an assembly drawing in which I'd like to eventually create a BOM. I'm successfullyl adding recursive items and would like to show the level in the assembly at which all the parts occur. When I add the rpt.level repeat region, it shows nothing. I have it successfully showing part parameters, index, quantity, but the level doesn't work. Do I need to do some configuring to get it to show? Is there a config.pro setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Hi, our company have only just moved to Creo. I'm trying to create drawing sheets A4 to A1. I've started to make the A3 sheet and have a title block made up from a table. How do i create our company logo and add it into the cell within the title block? An idiots guide would be really useful....thanks.

Hi! I have installed Creo Parametric Student Edition (for educational use only) on my computer. The program works correctly and there was no errors. But now I'm trying to add a new profile (I-beam) from AFX (in assembly: Framework tab -> New Profile). And again there's no problem with it - Creo gives me the profiles library, I can choose any profile from any category, next I can choose specific profile, and finally I can give dimension for the chosen profile. After these operations Creo shows me New Profile window (shown in the image below)......and when I try to click Next button, Creo shows the following error (shown in the image below).This error appears when choosing each profile. Could you tell me, please,  if this is just Creo error and it could be fixed? Or maybe this is not an error and Student Edition doesn't serve operations as above?Thank you in advance for your answers! 

Here's the next set of tutorials in the series of Creo tips from our expert product managers.   Below you’ll find about 15 minutes of video how-tos to help you improve your CAD proficiency—whether you just started using Creo or you've been using it for years.   Ready to get started?   Make External References Independent of Their Source, by Default   Feature dependencies can be either local or external references. Local references relate to geometry in the model in which they were created. External references (or external dependencies) occur when you reference geometry (parts, subassemblies) outside the model in which they were created.   By default, external references depend on the model containing the geometry being referenced. The external feature depends on to the assembly where it was created, and every time you regenerate the parts or the assembly involved in the external reference, Creo Parametric looks for this feature’s references in the source par

Hello All,   I am getting error "langLoadExtTbl: File "pro_i18n.res" could not be opened" when I am trying to load a session using a Jlink Async mode.   I am trying it on Creo 3.0   Please help me out   Thanks in Advance.   Thanks, Swapnil

In this series, our expert product managers are going through how-to Creo tips. Each bite-sized tutorial is less than 5 minutes long. It's a perfect opportunity to learn something new or get a refresher on a workflow you haven't used for a while.   Below you'll find about 15 minutes of video tips aimed at helping you improve your Creo proficiency.   Ready to get started?   Geometry Backups on the Fly   When you create external references among features in a design, local references to features in a part, or placement references in an assembly, reference creation and backup tools are provided for specifying system behavior.   In this tutorial, Arnaud van de Veerdonk, Creo Product Manager, shows you how to use Update Control functionality through, on-the-fly created, Geometry Backups.   Watch the tutorial:     Flexible Management of Item Visibility in MBD   When working in model-based definition (MBD), three schemes are available to manage th

Question I want to get my cable items on my BOM and to have BOM Balloons pointing to those locations   The issue I am running into is when I try to add them into my BOM, I am no longer able to generate Balloons for the view that is attached to the repeat region.   The existing Balloons stay in place on the connectors/terminals/contacts but I get an error stating "Invalid view for showing BOM Balloons for the region"   The way I adding my cabling items to my BOM and keep the rep.index in line was adding an extra column that pulls the ERP part number for each spool from the creo spool file, maybe thats the issue? Maybe its the cabling? Help?  

My company uses a common part on all of our assemblies. Recently, we received new, more detailed CAD of the part from the part supplier. The new CAD maintains all of the key dimensions of the old part, however it is much more detailed.    Is there a way to update my part to the new more detailed geometry while maintaining all the original references in my assemblies? In this way I would not have to create a new part for the new CAD, and use the replace function in every assembly we have (because we have a lot).   Thanks,

Hello everyone,   I have a problem with the hole notes that IFX creates for dowel pin. Notes mentioned a threaded hole as in attachment while it should be a smooth drilled hole with tolerance.   Could you please advise me on how to manage this issue ?   Thanks  

Hi all,   Is there a way to save a Creo file without the model tree history?   I need to send a large assembly in Creo format to a client, but I don't want him to have access to the parametrization.   I know I can save as a step or igs and then convert to creo again, but I'm wondering if there is a more direct way to do this.   Thanks

Hi all, using Creo 7 here. I'm trying to set up some drawing borders formats using tables. I don't want to merge the cells. No matter what i do i cant blank a table line. I've selected the whole table - line display - blank - select line....but doesnt blank it   any ideas? thanks

Hello, I have the standard version of Creo3 M050 and i can't use the copy geometry and publish geometry options (it's gray) Do I have to activate them in the config.pro? If yes how? Do i need a additional licens for this?   actual licens are: 4DNavigator, AE, Assyperformance, CDT, Data_for_PDGS, Detail, Design_Animation, Ecad, feature, flexible_modeling       Thank you for your help 🙂

Hello,   Our company is investigating model based definition for parts and assemblies. Going through the CREO 4.0 tutorial on PTC university, we haven't seen a start part for an assembly. Is there one available?

I go to save as, and try to save as DWG and it does nothing.

I have an assembly model that I need to place coordinate systems at the CofG position for both the computed and assigned results, is there a way of doing this via parameters? Each model in the assembly has an assigned CoG position and mass. At the assembly level I can get the assigned values using MP_CG_X etc but can't figure out how to get the computed values - any ideas please?   Cheers!

Hi, i'm new on CREO (3 month). new job new company. i used to work on different software to create 3D harnesses. i have an issue today regarding Harness Mfg. we just got the licence i try to flatten simple harness. it work (sometime) but when i want to use a component to route my harness sometime it will work and sometime i got the following message: Unsupported Axial Topology when i remove the component from the path it will be ok, but i use the same component  somewhere else and it is working fine so i don't understand what is happening. i think the part i use to route the wire is created properly as it is working fine somewhere else if someone has an idea i will appreciate. Thanks Ced1

Hi All I am using a VPN then Microsoft's remote desktop connection. Then using my computer at work with CREO 2.0 and Windchill etc...   The graphics seem very laggy and big complex surfacing is difficult with the laggy / slow screen refresh rate. And I cant use twin monitors.   Is something like "team viewer" better? Has anyone got any experience on this?   David Hale / UK    

Hello,   I have a part with different colors, then export to parasolid, step and solidwks. When Solidworks open the parasolid file all colors turn to gray, but in the step and solidwks files all colors are show.  Anyone knows why this happens?   

good morning   how can i simulate robot systems in creo parametric for paletize?   i need simulated in creo parametric 3.0 a kuka robot kr120 with a gripper to move a cement bag between two conveyour belt, but a i not know simulate it.   Can someone teach me?   this is a similar proyect of an other person 2e jaars eindproject - De Gripper - Avans Hogeschool - Werktuigbouwkunde / Mechatronica - YouTube

I need to add an annotation feature note to ~300 parts. I wrote a maco that will add the feature and it seems to work well. I tried setting up distributed batch to call this macro that adds the feature and then saves the file to the working directory. The process will run processing ~10 parts at a time and states it completed my 105 test objects successfully. However, when I go to the output file location there are only about 40 new parts in there. If I run the distributed batch process with only one of the objects it "missed" in the object list it will work fine on that file. How can I troubleshoot this or is there a better way to do this?

Bonjour, Commentaire sur l’ajout des Mesures dans une simulation Creo 6.0. Je ne trouve plus l’emplacement ou sur les rajoutes dans le calcul. Dans les versions précédentes il y a un emplacement pour indiquer qu’il y a des Mesure pour les quelles prises en compte dans les calculs. Cordialement. Denis

It seems that the most recent Windows Defender update has targeted the PTC License Daemon again. For the last year or so I had been able to get around this by using the Wildfire 5 license server install and updating the executable. This time around it is even hitting these. I know that PTC is taking no responsibility for fixing their server and will tell me that this is a Microsoft issue. This is not a Microsoft issue. It is an issue with the way PTC installs the service.   Does anyone have a good solution to this issue?

Blog Post 01 -    I wrote a blog post about the topic of Multibody – Intro, Model tree interaction and What’s that default body doing? I figured it made sense to provide a more thorough explanation that would attempt to answer all the questions likely to come up. Check it out and if you have any additional questions/comments, add them under the blog post itself. Thanks! Martin (view in My Videos)   Back to Creo 7.0 Multibody Home: Start Here!
