Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We did a webinar last week with Elite Digital Enterprise to help educate people on Microsoft Excel Tables and Power Query functionality.   The Webinar was focused on Bill of Materials (BOM) Data, covering the problems typically encountered using conventional Excel Approaches (Cell Address/Named Range References) and why Excel Tables and especially Power Query should be more widely used/adopted.   Creo BOM export techniques and options were also covered as well as a live example of exporting Creo BOM data to Excel Tables (via Nitro-BOM) and Manipulating them with Power Query to automatically summarize costs.   We hope you find this webinar useful.   Intro to Excel Tables and Power Query for Creo Users!  

hey, I have this problem when I try to drag a component while the component is defined correctly a component dissapears. In this case the black beraings as you can see in the first picture dissepear imediatly when I click drag component and I don't know why , can somebody please help me ?    thanks a lot !!

Hi I have a large assembly where I need to show different set ups by simply turning some sub assemblies on/off. So to that end I am using the Layers tab in View Manager. When I hide a sub assembly, the layer state name prompts with a plus sign to indicate a save is required, and it works. But, if I want to show a sub assembly but hide an assembly within it, this can't be saved to the display name, that is, turning off a "sub-sub assembly" doesn't trigger the Later state name to update. If you all can think of workaround to one click, show these items, another click show other items, that would be great. Cheers Rick

After creating drawing in creo ,When i convert creo drawing to auto cad drawing ,after opening the converted auto cad drawing the text are going out of the template boxes ,then i have to Readjust,and change text style which is totally annoying considering i have to id in around about more than 100 drawings which takes lot of time     1. Is their any way by which i can stop text going out of content box after conversion to auto cad from Creo. 2. I am Attaching a image few of lines are hidden due to Privacy concern. 3. in the image you can see that text have gone out of template which was okay in creo drawing.   Thank you all   hoping for a better solution

hello   i have a big issue    I need to export a drawing with dimensions in igs extension   is posible this ?

Hi, I want to delete creo files from a particular folder. Please let me know if any c++ toolkit api is available for this.   Thanks and regards, Sekar

This is the common question going around the office; we use dual dimensioning on all our drawings, we have everything setup so the dual dimensions display. However, what happens is the second dimension is usually placed below the line on the dimension and then we have to select, properties and select to right rather than below.   Is there anyway to make sure these automatically come in the position 'To Right' rather than below? I'm pretty sure there isn't but I'm hoping this is just something I can't find.

Hi I need to run this package but I cannot find anywhere what is the recommended configuration for the hardware running this one. Someone could help me ?   thank you

I would like to create a reference patten of curves based on two existing pattern of points on two different curves (on different datum planes). It is only working for one of two point pattern. All curves are coming from on single point.   These are the steps I would like to do to get the pattern: Create two curves on parallel datum planes Create the first point pattern (all points on the curve with the same distance to each other) Create the second point pattern on the second curve Connect one point from the first pattern with another from the second Create a reference pattern with that curve (that is the thing that is not working) Create a sweep on the curve and have another reference pattern Has somebody an idea, how to get such reference pattern of the curve?    

dear All,   why i cannt cast WSession from Session?   class CommandConvertTolerances extends DefaultUICommandActionListener { public void OnCommand() { try { WSession session = (WSession) pfcSession.GetCurrentSession (); // WSession wSession = null; // // if (wSession instanceof WSession) // wSession = (WSession)session; Model model = session.GetCurrentModel(); // WModel wm = (WModel)model;   java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ptc.wfc.Implementation.pfcSession$Session cannot be cast to com.ptc.wfc.wfcSession.WSession   Thanks!

Hi,   I would like to find out how the LCS (local coordinate system) of a mechanism body is determined in the CREO mechanism module. Does anyone know how the system calculates this CSYS? Background of my question: I am trying to export the rotational placement of a certain body by using the Euler angle 1-2-3 measures in a kinematic study but these always refer to the body's LCS and I don't know where that is compared to the parts/assemblies inside that body.   Thanks a lot for your help!

Calling all "Gear Heads",   I'm having trouble finding an old Creo planetary model, and recalling, exactly how to define the gear-pair to establish proper planetary gear motion in MDX/MDO. My system is a simple epicyclic set with 3 planets. My trouble is defining the ring gear. I seem to recall there is a trick to how to define the ring gear's assignment so MDX understands it's an inward facing involute set and provides proper movement and torque & speed transfer. I don't want to use a "generic" gear type. I can't seem to find anything on-line, within PTC support, or inside this community - what's the trick I'm not able to recall?   TIA

Looking to find a repeatable way to measure only the exposed area of a large assembly with 1000's of surfaces to find a more accurate area to estimate paint, I've tried a shrinkwrap but that gives the measurement of everything it looks like still, as it keeps all the surfaces of each part, and clicking each surface separately only allows 40 surfaces to be picked at each time

We have made the jump from creo 3.0 to creo 4.0, when we are plotting our detailed drawings they have gone back to printing the dimensions in yellow, we are looking for them to print in black. Does anyone know where the config for this is?

Hi Everyone, I have a table where I'm showing the parameter values from a family table part. I would like to have the address pulled from one or more parameters and populate a cell with multiple lines of text in a repeat region like the example in the image below.   Could someone explain how to set this up or point me to a document or URL with more info? I have been playing with the repeat regions and filters and have had no luck getting the address cell to populate correctly.   I'm trying to used a separate parameter for each line of text. Thanks for any help you can provide! Don Anderson  

Is there a way to have the speeds and feeds that are put into a tool you create in a library automatically be put into the "Parameter" of the sequence you want to use based on the tool info? Seems like the tool has the info relative to it but when selecting the tool I want to use the data for the parameter has to be in the saved "Parameters". Sorry if confusing. Trying to create a tool library for a new machine we are getting, any tips out there for dealing with tool libraries??? Also high speed machining parameters???Jeff

can anyone give insight on how to have creo automatically output feeds and speeds based on material.

We have a BOM table that includes a column for Cage Code. Now management has decided we do not need to put the Cage Code in the BOM. Our BOM tables have many filters applied, so replacing the table is not the best way to go. I am building a new BOM table for new drawings, but we have a lot of drawings already created . Is there a way to delete a column from a table?   We are on Creo 4 m080.  

Have you downloaded Creo 4.0 yet? One tool you’ll want to start using right away is box selection, available throughout the product and in idle mode. With box select, you can make the selection by simply clicking and dragging, then invoke commands such as hide, for example. It’s easy to use, but in this post, our expert offers a few tips for making the most of box select.Creo 4.0 now includes 2D box selection throughout the product as a selection method in idle mode. You can now use 2D box selection for most of the tools that support object/ action workflows. Here are a few tips:• 2D box selection in Creo honors the selection filter settings and only selects the type of objects defined by the selection filter.• If you press and hold Ctrl while using box selection, then objects are added cumulatively to the selection.• To remove objects from the selection, press and hold Ctrl and then click the individual objects.• 2D box selection in Creo also uses common direction-specific behavior.o

Hello, I am attempting to check a drawing into Common PDM and there is a part coming with it that is listed as an "optional dependent".  However, when I open the reference viewer for the drawing, this part is not listed as a child nor a parent.  Therefore, why is the drawing pulling this part with it?  Thank you.

Hei Community, we're searching for a suitable c++ library to perform REST requests and parse Json to integrate into toolkit dlls. Are there any recomendations?   We tryed cpprest/casablanca from microsoft already. We build a sample client without creo and everthing works fine until we integrate it into our creo dll. With this library the dll is not able to be started in creo anymore.   Thanks for your suggestions.

Is there any way to place a UDF on multiple CYSY in CREO 3 w/o having to do them one at a time?

Hi, this is a simple concept but hard to explain. How can I create a drawing view where the background is clipped away? Here's a visual example... If I have this model...   And I create a section view using the front round surface, cutting out the disk. How to get a drawing view, where I am looking at the part from the front so I can see the rectangle and triangle but not the disk? The application is actually a more complex assembly drawing view, I just used a part model as an example.

I posted this in Assembly ... but think it also applies in Detailing since BOM and Excel come up quite a bit.   We did a webinar last week with Elite Digital Enterprise to help educate people on Microsoft Excel Tables and Power Query functionality.   The Webinar was focused on Bill of Materials (BOM) Data, covering the problems typically encountered using conventional Excel Approaches (Cell Address/Named Range References) and why Excel Tables and especially Power Query should be more widely used/adopted.   Creo BOM export techniques and options were also covered as well as a live example of exporting Creo BOM data to Excel Tables (via Nitro-BOM) and Manipulating them with Power Query to automatically summarize costs.   We hope you find this webinar useful.   Intro to Excel Tables and Power Query for Creo Users!  

Does anyone know how to configure the Creo Performance Advisory to show all types of Creo Crashes (ehem..I mean, "premature Exits") regardless of cause (logging error, memory, etc) by build?   I would like to use this as a tool to see which build code/ship code is most stable for us but what I did find didn't seem to be comprehensive nor reliable data.   Thanks!
