Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Is there any announced enhancements to CREO 7.0. Will be any beta test to it. I know it's quite soon to it, it will be released in March 2020. But any news? I found this:https://youtu.be/mtC_SAhV-iY

Dear Sir, Customer no: 152833. Due to COVID 19, we need CREO 5 two home licenses to use with home computer. You may consider our sale order no: 2087757. Kindly send us licenses and guide us how to download the software in home computer. Thanking you,Regards,Ramani.K.E

I am getting a weird window popup when ever I try to maneuver within the workspace window and it is extremely hard to function.  How do I keep this from happening?   See the attached screen capture.     Creo parametric 5.0.4.0 Windows 10 Thinkpad P52 laptop

I have an old properly paid PTC license coupled to a Linksys USB100TX Network adapter which has followed me over the years through a number of changed operating systems.. I moved to a new computer running Windows 10 and  found out that there is no Windows 10 driver for this adapter. Consequently I cannot get the new computer to recognize the adapter and therefore I cannot get Proe setup accept the license file. I have tried to change the MAC address in the properties of the network adapter in the new computer and when I run "ipconfig /all" the old desired MAC address is displayed but when I try Proe setup, it still lists the adapter's original MAC address as host ID. I stopped paying license maintenance 8-10 years ago so I don't suppose it is possible to go back to PTC and ask for a license file with a changed MAC address. Any idea anyone?

Currently, my skeleton is only transparent when I have it activated. If I activate other parts inside the skeleton, it becomes opaque and I have to blindly click until I find the surfaces I would like to reference. Any thoughts?

I downloaded and installed Creo 7 the other day and put in a new license file for Creo 7. When I go to start Creo 7, I get an AFX and IFX not licensed error and the program then exits. I do not have licenses for these products, so not sure why Creo 7 is looking to start them. I then ran Creo 4 on the same machine (my Windchill server) and it started up fine. Has PTC done something wrong in Creo 7 that is looking for licenses and then failing if they are not found, even if not license?.  

Hello Community,   I am adding an inclined part in EMX Assembly by top-down process. Part getting added in assembly successfully, but while generating BOM the size calculated by system is rectangular even part is like pin (Circular). (Actual Size : Dia50 x 300mm - Calculated size: 258 x 258 x80) Similarly  I am assembled a rectangular plate in inclined way by topdown process, wrong size calculated. (Actual Size : 408x 70x 28.3 mm - Calculated size: 408 x 68 x61)   Please find the attached screen shots. I used standard Demo data set for trial of EMX assembly.   Looking for response.

Ready for another 15 minutes of Creo tips from our product manager experts?   In the videos below, you’ll see how to avoid pitfalls when adding components to a Model Tree, a faster way to reach your AR experiences, and tips for getting embossed text on curved surfaces.   Drag-and-Drop Without Restructuring the Model Tree   Normally when you drag-and-drop parts and subassemblies in the Model Tree, they're moved to wherever you drop them. However, restructuring components can lead to unwanted changes in the assembly structure.   However, you can change this behavior so Model Tree components are not restructured when you drag-and-drop components.   In this tutorial, Arnaud van de Veerdonk, Creo Product Manager, shows you how:     Bookmark Your AR Experiences   Reviewing an augmented reality (AR) experience of a Creo model over and over?

Hi I've been running Pro E on my work desktop accessed via Remote DesktopConnection. If I connect to an existing ProE session, I get performance which isadequate for what I want to do. If I start a new Pro E session from within the remote desktop session,the Pro E graphics are slow to highlight. This makes it so slow I can'twork effectively. The Pro E session is still slow when I am back at my workstation. Does anyone know of any configurations for Remote Desktop Connection, orNvidea graphics card which would make it behave the same whetherconnected via Remote or sitting at my desk.

While in a RDP session Creo opens up using OpenGL graphics. This can hinder the performance over the connection and it is best to start Creo in the console session to avoid this. Here is a batch script that is working for us.   Use this script to launch Creo while connected via RDP. Upon execution the script will send the current session to the console and launch Creo. The user will need to restart RDP but then Creo will be running without using OpenGL graphics.   You may need to change the working and program directories to match your environment.   @echo offcall :sub_checkAdmin set ActiveID=unknownfor /f "tokens=3-4" %%a in ('query session %username%') do @if "%%b"=="Active" set ActiveID=%%atscon %ActiveID% /dest:consoletimeout /t 2 > nulstart "Creo" /D D:\ENGINEERING\WORKING "C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 5.0.2.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe" EXIT :sub_checkAdminNET SESSION >nul 2>&1IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (ECHO.ECHO ERROR: This script requires elevated privil

Hello,   I am looking to use custom bom balloons by default. I know how to change the bom balloons (Table-Properties-Type), however I want my format (.frm) to use my custom bom balloons by default.   I found the setting default_bom_balloon_type but when I create a new drawing from my format I get the "message Default BOM balloon symbol XXX is not present in the drawing. Creating BOM balloons of 'Simple' type instead."   Does anyone know how to solve that? I tried putting my custom bom balloon symbol in several different folders but it does not look like CREO searches for it. It looks it has to be embedded in the drawing.   Any ideas?   Thanks.

How to get the Default origin for those specific 'User Defined-Symbols' which has custom origin?

Hello together, since we change from Wildfire 4 to Creo 4 i have a problem with color in assemblys when i using "save as" to create a new assembly.The assemblys are generic and family based. A lot of the integrated parts are also generic and family based. Example:asm_genreric (with instances e.g. "asm_1" and "asm_2")--part_red (generic with instances "part_red_1" and "part_red_2")--part_blue (non generic) All parts are colored (red / blue) before they are inserted in the assembly. The color should be always the same.No color assignment is made in the assembly! When I open a instance assembly e.g. "asm_1" with the part instance "part_red_1" and using "save as" and openthe new created assembly the "part_red_1" is no longer red and have the standard Creo color.The non-generic part "part_blue" is blue. I try this with Creo 4 and Creo 6 (new standard installation) and the system colors. With standard material assignment and without. In both cases I have the problem, that the instance parts

Hello,   I have an old License, perpetual, for Wildfire 5.0.  We no longer actively use Pro Engineer but would like to re-activate this license for viewing of legacy designs.  Machines in service occasionally need to be viewed for various reasons.  We own this license, so as far as I see it we should be able to use it.  I understand we cannot upgrade or do anything fancy with it.  But for opening and viewing existing documents, a license we already paid for should work.  I have edited the license file (which I kept from way back when), to update the MACC Address of the license server machine.  But each attempt to install and run the license server gives me this error:(ptc_d) Invalid license key (inconsistent authentication code)   Attempts to look this error up online take me to a Knowledge Base that I cannot access without updating my maintenance, which I find to be just unacceptable.   Any thoughts on how I can get my existing, bought

I would like to start a discussion on the best practices for the library parts creation. can you share your best modeling practices? I have the following question: 1. how do you make the best use of the family tables? 2. Simplified representation or combined states for library components? Making a light weight representation 3. are you using interchange assy? 4. Shrinkwraps in family table? 5. ECAD library components? we do a lot of Mentor imports. ecad_hint.map is good, but there are LIMITATIONS!   Very much appreciated! Dmitry      

I'm using the component ID in relations and not the session ID because I'm replacing family table members as I posted yesterday. But now I have a new problem. Using component ID in relations works great until the part is suppressed. The 2 files below shows that it is working when the part isn't suppressed and that the relations have an error when the part is suppressed.   How do I prevent this from happening? Apparently the "if exists" doesn't work to determine if the is suppressed or not. And I can't find a way to determine if the part is suppressed.   Anybody have any suggestions?   Thanks, Steve 

No humble brag here.  Show us what you're working on or have done in the past.  Impress us! Who's got the biggest assembly?? Who has the most complex part?? Let's see it...

Just started using Creo 4 and previously when setting sequence parameters if there were options to choose from and you pressed F4 it would open the drop down box without having to press the down arrow at the option and then you could select the correct option. Is there a way to do that in Creo 4?     

I'm having trouble getting a fairly simple assembly to move correctly. I have an actuator connecting to a plate and the plate is connected to 2 hinges. I can get the assembly to move correctly with cntrl+alt+left click right after assembling it (I get the "Model is disconnected" error though and can't figure that out). It moves fine until I edit the geometry of the plate part, then cntrl+alt+left click stops working and the assembly doesn't move at all.    What am I doing wrong here? The plate is assembled to the actuator with a pin constraint, Set 2 is a planar constraint to the first hing, Set 3 is planar constraint to the second hinge, then Set 4 is a general constraint aligning the plate screw holes to the first hinges screw holes. The motion works as expected while still in the Assembly placement edit, but once I click the green check-mark the model does not move anymore. 

I have an assembly that includes a Gear Pair connection defined in the Mechanism Application.  The models of the gear components themselves are adjustable based on a few input parameters like tooth count, and module etc.   However, if I change the tooth count of either of the gears, I have to manually re-input the new gear ratio in the assembly model.  I'm looking for a way to relate the gear ratio in the assembly to these same component parameters, but I cannot find the name of the variable to use for this gear ratio.   How do I find the names of the dimension/parameters in a GearPair connection?   Thank you,

Hello all, I am putting together a post processor and want to add a G90 whenever a workoffset is called. I assume it is a FIL routine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.ThanksJosh

Has anyone else ran into the problem of telling a 6 from a 9 in an annotated model?   See the image below.  If so what are you doing about it?   This has come up a few times with basic dimensions (our rule is any annotation dimension should have a tolerance unless it's basic so when you have a tolerance that helps correctly orient the text).  This is only a human readability issue but with MBD there are still plenty of times a human needs to view the annotated model.  Obviously measuring the model will answer the question.

For an example, I have a family table of angle parts. The cross section (size) of the angle can change based on the value of a parameter that defines the cross section. The length can also change which is driven by relations in the assembly.    If I have an assembly with 3 total angles in it, (1) of angle 1 and (2) of angle 2. The relations in the assembly might look like this: for angle 1:  length:2=d2*3 for angle 2:  length:4=d10   The problem is, if I replace one of the angle 2 parts with an angle 3 part, the length:4=d10 relation changes to length:6=d10. Because there is still one of the angle 2 part in the assembly, I don't want the session id to change in the relation. I want the length:4=d10 to stay length:4=d10 and not change to length:6=d10   Does anybody have a solution so the session id doesn't change when replacing parts if the original part still exists in the assembly.   Thanks for any help. Steve

I'd like to add a group into family table, but Creo always reminded me "No group found".How can I do it ?

My company has a drafting standard that requires the dimension displays to be in decimal format. The parts are relationally driven. On occasion there is a part that we need to outsource, and the vendor requires shaft lengths to the nearest 1/16".  So is there a to keep the decimal display, but way to round the nearest .0625"?
