Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Whenever I print to PDF, instead of the file name coming out as the drawing name i instead getthe prefix Creo Parametric - (character that looks like a chessboard), then the file name, then four additional digits.This is not just Adobe, but with other pdf print options too.So each time I save I have to delete this extra detail. which is really annoying and time consuming.But if I save as PDF it screws with text and line thickness.  I can't find where it is pulling this additional detail from, or how to stop it. Thanks in advance if you can help!  

Hi everyone,I’m currently exploring Creo’s multi-axis manufacturing capabilities, specifically for impeller machining. I’ve already programmed and machined an impeller using Creo Multi-Axis, but all the strategies—roughing, blade finishing, and hub machining—had to be created manually. (Please see attached picture.)Other CAM software like Mastercam and Siemens NX offer dedicated modules or toolpaths tailored for impellers and other bladed components.So I’d like to ask:Does Creo offer any specialized tools or modules for 5-axis impeller machining?Are there built-in strategies for blade-to-blade finishing, tool tilting and collision avoidance, and roughing in deep/narrow passages?What about hub finishing with smooth transitions?Or is everything expected to be built manually through generic multi-axis features?I’d appreciate input from anyone who has experience machining turbomachinery parts in Creo.Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm using Creo Parametric version 10.0.3.0. I have a couple of questions related to plug-ins:Is the SubD plug-in available for Creo Parametric?Is there any difference between Freestyle and SubD

Hello,I have created a small C++/CLI library which make calls to a C# DLL, this library works fine if I call it from any other C++ project, but it does not work if I call it from my Toolkit application (based on Creo Toolkit 10.0.6.0).The application compiles and links fine, but it fails to start from the Auxiliary Applications menu:  Checking that trailfile info, I only can see these lines related to my app not saying any clue about the possible root cause error:  What I'm thinking is that Creo doesn't support Toolkit apps involved with C++/CLI code, but I would like to confirm that, do some of you have experience this? Thanks.       

Profile Milling with Tool Compensation and Ramp Entry or helical for Internal Profile Hello CREO Users,I am working on a milling operation for an internal profile (similar to a valve seat geometry) in Creo Manufacturing. My objective is to machine the internal contour using tool radius compensation (CUTCOM) and to ensure smooth ramp transitions between Z-level passes or using helical folling the profile to avoid marks on the final surface.I have tried the following approaches:The Cut Line strategy allows helical movements and smooth transitions between passes, but it does not support tool radius compensation (CUTCOM). This is a requirement for my process.The Profile Milling strategy does support CUTCOM, but it does not offer ramp or spiral entry between Z-level cuts. As a result, the tool plunges vertically at each level, which causes unwanted marks and steps in the internal diameter of the part.I've tried to explore all the SCAN_TYPE parameters. LEAD_IN and LEAD_OUT approach but

Hi! i've installed creo view express but i can't get it to work, i dont get any error message, it just does not open.    

Hello, I am trying to make a fix for a turbine with some complex geometry in Creo 10.0. I don't want to just sketch a shape and extrude it, but rather I am trying to get it to follow a curve. This feels like it should be easy, but I am struggling with it. This is the shape and that is the type of curve I want it to follow. What is the best way to accomplish this. 

I'm looking for a method to insert a visible date stamp into a wirelist so that a reviewer can quickly verify when the wirelist report was generated. This datestamp needs to also be present in the CSV so that the datestamp is available when the CSV is exported. A datestamp can be added to the footer, but this footer does not get transferred to the CSV file (screenshot 1).If a row is added to the table with a datestamp, this row is repeated between every line, which is not the desired result (screenshot 2). Has anyone found a solution for this? It would be ideal if the footer would carry through to the CSV but this does not seem to be an option.

Hey ptc community,I wrote this simple Java program with AI but since I don't know anything about Java at all I need someone to tell me why it doesn't work.The error message I get is:Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\ENGapps\PTC\Creo 10.0.7.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\lib\jnicipjavamtz.dll: Can't find dependent librariesat java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load0(Native Method)at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(ClassLoader.java:2437)at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:2494)at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:2694)at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:2656)at java.base/java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:827)at java.base/java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1888)at com.ptc.cipjava.initadapt.initadapters(initadapt.java:56)at com.ptc.pfc.pfcSession.pfcSession.<clinit>(pfcSession.java:33)at test.main(test.java:10)I also al

Hello!I am running a model of a bolted connection between 3 parts. Since CREO does not allow the use of the "Fastener" feature for 3 parts, I defined bonded surfaces to simulate the contact between parts. I also defined non-linear materials in order to evaluate plastic behavior of the system. When a bonded surface is defined in CREO, the program automatically creates measures for the interface forces. However, CREO only shows the interfaces measures when I run a static linear analysis (ignoring plasticity).Is there a workaround to be able to see interface measures when running a non-linear analysis with plasticity? Thanks!    

I am just putting this out there to see if anyone else has been noticing that anything that seems to check references, especially using "edit references" has become ridiculously slow in the latest releases (Creo 8, 9). In a 300 feature model, half of the time it can take up to 15min for it to display the dialog box with the references. This generally happens when there is sometimes only 2 or 3 references, and the CPU isn't even being taxed at all... generally 6-7%. My drive is an SSD, and the files are local; so I can rule out anything to do with the network. It just seems like a massive bug; amongst others ones that were introduced that have made core functionality a terrible experience.  The reference viewer also seems to extremely slower compared to Creo version 6.  8 and 9 seem to be some of the worst releases with regards to core functionality in a long time. 

The idea here is to give to the user the ability to turn off the active section while being active in another feature.

A 3D model of a wire mesh net (1539.5 x 177.5 mm, wire diameter 0.5 mm). The pattern is created using 60 extrudes × 512 extrudes (total 30,720)a. First pattern (512 instances, 177.5 mm each) I used "Identical"b. Second pattern (60 instances, 1539.5 mm each) I used "General".Whenever I change pattern options—switching between "Variable", "General", and "Identical"—the regeneration time is about 3 minutes. Is there any way to reduce the regeneration time from minutes to just a few seconds?Note: I can't select both patterns as "Identical", because this prevents me from creating cuts/holes in the mesh model later due to self-intersecting surfaces. hence, I had to choose "General". But now regen time is too long.

Good day, everyone, I am in the process of setting up and testing the Intelligent Fastener Extension (IFX) for the company I work for, and I have successfully integrated some of our legacy data into IFX. However, I am struggling to import nested family table parts correctly. A bit of background:I was successful in getting our fasteners to appear in the screw dropdown (Metric Bolt FT DIN933 SS). However, the length selection was not available, and I was unable to place the fastener set.   After some investigation, I realized that the family table instance did not include the length of each bolt. Instead, the file was nested by bolt size, with the length only available in the lower levels of the family tables. This led me to conclude that this might be why the length did not populate.  I would like to know if the Intelligent Fastener Extension (IFX) is compatible with nested family tables. I have worked through B&W's IFX training guide, which was very h

Afternoon All,    I am currently working with a large assembly, and required to make sub-assemblies for creating technical drawings. At the moment, the only way I'm able to copy parts into the new sub-assembly is dragging each individual part from the model tree into the new sub-assembly.    I have tried messing around to figure out a way to simultaneously copy all of the desired parts into the sub-assembly, but nothing has worked out.    I'm sure there's a simple solution that I'm missing, can anybody help? Thanks.

Creo10 & ProToolkit & Cpp...   Button#1 (in UI_dialog#1) would have a callback, which would... step1) load DLL#2, and then step2) Call an exported Function (eg. "display_dialog_2") which would result in UI_dialog#2 being displayed alongside-of, or in-front-of UI_dialog#1.   *But, I cant seem to get step 2 to work.  UI#2 never displays.  Any help&guidance would def be appreciated.  Code example(s) even better.

I have a circular part  with a rectangular keyway in the front plane.I have created an axis in the part normal to the front plane and referencing the right and top planes with 0.0 offsets. This is prior to creating any geometry.In the drawing of the part the axis crosshair is shown in the vertical plane and horizontal plane parallel to the keyway when the view is shown as front.If I rotate the front view by axis angle 45°, the axis crosshair are no longer shown as referencing the right and top of the part and parallel / perpendicular to the slot.Is there a way to have the axis cross hair fixed to the datums in the part, so that when the part is installed in an assembly , the angular dimensions can be called out  depending on the position of the keyway. And if the part is rotated in the drawing the axis stay aligned to the keyway. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, i am having a small issue, when i import a part, i am getting a error message that the part template is not found.i have not changed any settings nor has anyone in the company changed anything either so im a bit baffled why the import function has decided to lose the default templateanyone know how to check for the template or tell creo to search for it? using Creo Parametric 6.0.6.0 

When I  update a feature that a copy geometry references I will change the model but the copy geometry or reference will not follow. In the latest instance I updated a hole.   There is a sketch that references  that hole and in the large assembly a part is assembled to that hole. The hole location moves accordingly but the sketch and part stay in the old position.  This happens randomly.  Sometimes opening a new session fixes the issues. Other times it does not.  Otherwise I have to go into the following feature.  Delete the reference, reselect the reference and then reconstrain.  Creo 8.0.11.0

Hello Together, our company Blocks the acces for programs to the Documents folder so i need to change to config directory. I've already read that PTC help article about the IFX_USER_CONFIG_PATH but it isnt working for me.  I'm adding it like this in the default ifx_start_mdl.cfg:IFX_USER_CONFIG_PATH "Path:\to\folder" I'm currently running Creo Parametric 9.0.6.0 on windows 10. (The Documents Block only applies to our win11 machines) Any guess what i'm doing wrong? Maybe editing the wrong config?  Regards, 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.3.0Issue with “Fixing” Parts list table with repeat region fixing that pulls in data from a component parameter. We want to pull in information from assy component parameters and display info within a table column. Found that with this implemented, one is not able to “fix” the parts list table (which prohibits resorting).Example, component parameter assigned within assy context :NAME: REMARKSTYPE = STRINGVALUE = PURCHASEDAssy drawing parts list table has column entry fetching value: asm.mbr.cparam.REMARKSWorks as expected, reporting values for all components with component parameter “REMARKS”The problem is if I attempt to fix the table to prohibit resorting, I am met with the following error: “Can not fix index due to symbol.asm.mbr.CPARAM”The only way I can fix the table is by removing entry “asm.mbr.cparam.REMARKS” from parts lists table and also removing the “ASM_MBR_CPARAM_REMARKS” parameter from the repeat region’s relation UI

I am trying to hide the labels related to active combined states like Layer state , apperanace state etc.Also i want to modify or hide some times, the tolerance table label appears in the bottom right corner of the combined state.  But i am not able to find any options to hide or modify these labels. Is it a limitation ? or is there any settings to control it. Please guide me if someone faced this problem.Using creo 8
