I tried but can't find it. Thanks in advance.
What if you could use modal analysis in real time while you designed? Use this fast method to see how your design ideas will perform, as you design. See how it works: Learn more about modal analysis and Creo Simulation Live.
I've created a hollow shape, first by blending from a square with rounded corners to a circle, then by using a second blend concentric to the first but slightly smaller and removing material. The issue is that the resulting structure does not have a uniform thickness. Is there a way to make the thickness uniform?
All, We would like to disable File, New in Creo 5 if the user is connected to PDM and if they are in Offline, then File New is enabled. Has anyone figured out the code for this? Input is much appreciated.
I made table format to create BOM. And I want to fix this table at the edge of drawing template when I need. In drawing frame edit mode, I can set the table to edge of drawing frame. (Because I can select frame line.) But I cannot fix in drawing. (use XY coordinate I can fix, I know. It is burdensome operation I think.) Do you have any ideas of this solution?
Hi people,Using CREO 2 .I unfortunately deleted ( not erased ) the name of a section view ( Section A-A).Is it possible to have the name back in automatic way orhave I to write manually a new simple note ?Thanks in advance Pier
Greetings I'm an undergraduate mechanical engineering student working on graduation project (Exechon robot ), that robot has complex kinematics ,so I have chosen to do it in a simulation software but faced many obstacles and during searching I found a simulation video of my project made by Creo . I don't know any thing about Creo software but I'm amazed by it and want to know if I can reach my target by it . what I want to do : import my design and Creation of kinematics like joints between bodies and constraints ...etc . create path , use inverse kinematics solver to move the robot joints thus the robot tool follow the path . export motion profile of joints . Doing engineering tasks like milling or drilling . in the end I uploaded the video that attracted me here . Sorry for repeating the question but I can't find the proper section of my ask . Best regards, Abdelrahman
Does anyone know the meaning of the different symbols in the Configuration Editor?I recently upgraded to Creo 6.0.2.0 from Creo 4 and I had to make a few changes to my config.pro file. I saw that in front of many of the Names in Configuration Editor there suddenly was a "forbidden" symbol (red crossed circle). I have always been used to many symbols in front of the names e.g. "yellow lightning bolt" and "blue wand" or whatever describes them the best. I just never gave it too many thoughts but now that I see the "forbidden" symbol I got curious.I have searched throug the help files and the community but with no success.
Created a part in an assembly, now I want to pattern it but when I select it Pattern is greyed out. If I add another of the created part to the assembly it lets me pattern that one.. but patterning the original would be much faster/easier to get it into place. I did use reference from another part to create the part i want to pattern. is this causing issue? Would like to know why it won't let me pattern and how to fix or any ideas for an easy work around. using Creo 6
I downloaded the 6.0 version, but by installing I can't activate my license (it's a .txt file from my school). Under status label it writes "Starting...", I wait long time, but nothing change, so I can't click next. A saw replies for my problem, but nothing helped.Thanks for helping!
Since all of us are sitting at home itching for something to learn, I thought I would take the lead. I'll be doing a webinar referencing two youtube videos. If you take a look and try these out, I will answer questions and give you more tips and tricks. I will demonstrate the basic use of surfaces and equations with springs to mitigate size relative to their use in the assembly.

When I add a label to a part by using Appearances Manager > Texture > Image and selecting a .png file, the image does not display correctly. It looks distorted and has lots of copies tiled within itself. My coworker doesn't have this issue and is able to place images parametrically on a model and have them behave correctly. We are both using the same config.pro files and have the same Creo version. If I load a model with one of these textures placed on its surface, it loads correctly. As soon as I spin or adjust the camera, the texture disappears and reapplying the texture causes the tiling issue. I've had some luck changing the texture from parametric to planar, but then I need to adjust settings until it looks right and this takes a lot of time. I've attached two pictures below showcasing the issue:
So, as the titles says, I am using a 3D cross section to place some section views for a drawing. Within the drawing, we change the color of the parts to represent if the part is new or old. Red for old, and white for new. From my understanding in creo, options - System Appearance - Global color then graphics tab, we have our settings that Geometry is White. This can't be changed as it also controls how things print based on the Pen table. I have found on the forum something that pertains to this, (Geometry drawing_color outline geometry,section text/arrows) I guess the problem is Geometry is bleeding through even though the items have been changed to a red color to show as old. Here is an example of what is happening. On the left side, the model has a cut right there. So it is forcing this white line to appear, which I need to remove. I have dabbled with the Crossec_type setting from changing it from new to old and that didn't help. Anyone got any sugges
Anyway to turn on better snapping in drawings? When placing dimensions, snapping is only available AFTER having initially placed a dimension. Is there a way to snap while initially placing dimensions? Placing tables - is there anyway to snap to formats, other tables, etc. for easy and accurate placement? See video below. We're using Creo 4 M090. (view in My Videos)
Ok this should be simple, problem I am working is way more complex... I would like to use IF / conditional statements to revolve an equation driven curve that is utilizing a cylindrical coordinate system. I CAN NOT get it to work. Example: Create a coordinate system to revolve around Create a Datum / Curve / From Equation <dialog opens> Change to Cylindrical / Pick the Reference Coordinate / Equation <now in a relation editor> Eqns: z=0 theta = 360*t r=2*t No problem, you get a linearly increase radius curve that starts at R=0 and grows to R=2 thru 360° Now I would like to create a curve that starts at 0 goes to 180° increasing in radius from 0 to 1, then continue on at a constant radius of 1 from 180° to 360°. I do believe the equation would be as simple as below, but, it does not work, just get a failed curve feature. z=0theta=360*tIF theta<180r=2*tELSEr=1ENDIF Is this due to the sudden change in the curvature?. &nbs
Hi,I wonder if there is a way to save the istances of an generic assembly in individual assembliesEx:I have an assembly with 5 instances. Every instance contain components that belongs to other generic.I would like to know if there is a way for these 5 instances to be saved into individula assemblies with no connection to the previous generic and also the subcomponents that are used in instances that belongs to other generic to be saved individual without any coection to the generic.In few words i'm not allowed to use anymore the instaces. All assemblies, parts are not allowed to have any instance or to be an instance of a generic.I'm asking this because I have around 300 generics with ~40 instances. In total if I'm going to break the family table will be a huge number >20.000 models.I found a toolkit program that is able to break the family table in separatly models but it's able to do just for level1 and not for subcomponents(level2)Any ideea how I ca break these femily tables bef

I found few JavaScript examples, one shown below and it works fine on Windows HTA script (JavaScript). VBA Set cAC = New CCpfcAsyncConnection ' VBA JavaScript // equivalant to the line above but in JavaScriptcAC = new ActiveXObject("pfcls.pfcAsyncConnection") // this line works fine But I can't find other equivalent statements in JavaScript like this: VBA Set Mitem = New CMpfcModelItem JavaScript Mitem = what? // don't know how to do this in JavaScript Also this example: VBA Dim type as EpfcFeatureTypetype = EpfcFeatureType.EpfcFEATTYPE_HOLE JavaScript what's the equivalent statement in javascript?
I'm wondering if anyone has instructions on how to borrow a license with being able to return them early. I'm looking at the PTC help site and there seems to be a couple of things that are needed but I was hoping someone had the setup in a step by step format. Thank you, Brian
Can anyone help me? I'm trying to create a spiral as shown but I need it to carry on around the radius of the surface and then up to the horizontal surface while still maintaining a constant center to center distance on the spiral.
Hi everyone, I am looking for help to learn how to make automation in design. I would like to create models that I can easily reuse, simply by modifying some parameters or options. For example a diameter or a length but also whether or not I want to activate this extrusion or that drilling.... etc. I already know I can automate parameters by using a simple excel sheet. I found this tutorial in video : Creo Parametric Excel Entegrasyonu - YouTube and also this one showing we even don't need to open Creo to modify the parameters (just excel) Video Link : 6428 Sadly I found nothing about how to create options on the design (extrusions, drilling, etc) Actually, only a video that shows it is possible on SolidWorks with KBEWorks. Automatisation de la conception d'un réceptacle avec KBEWorks 2015 - YouTube But KBEWorks seems to run only for Solidworks and I didn't find an equivalent for Creo 3.0.... Could you help me please ? Thanks in advance for your help !
I've suffered long enough and finally decided to ask. Is there a way to move the attachment for a chamfer dimension? We use Angle X D to have separate dimensions for the angle and width but can't always get the dimensions to show up in the views we want them. For example, if you have a chamfer on the edge of a cylinder, the dimensions will show up on the bottom side of one view, but we want it to be on the top of that view. Using Edit Attachment doesn't do anything (it just stays active as if I didn't pick a new attachment point). It's particularly annoying when we have a Detail view of a feature attached to the top side of the view but the chamfer dimensions show up on the bottom side of the view, well outside of the Detail view. Even using Move to View it just says "Can not move the specified dimensions to the selected view." Alternatively, say I want to show the chamfer dimensions in a top view but they're currently in the front view it does
Hi, Through development, we are trying to apply inventor's bom tool to Creo. ProMdl's graphic information must be ready to display. If you don't have ProMdl's graphics information, you should use ProRasterFileWrite to prepare your graphics information. (Is there any other way?)ProRasterFileWrite has a lot of margin in image conversion, and it takes a lot of conversion time for each ProMdl. (I think it is fatal to the large assembly structure) We need advice from those who have troubled or solved the PTC Community with the same problem as me. Please give me some clues on some good ways and ideas to display ProMdl's graphic elements in the Toolkit UI. Thanks, Warm Regards, SeonHo Cha.
I run a small product design business, focussing on many different sectors. We have a couple of licences of SolidWorks and Rhino, with various add ons. I subscribed to Creo in the spring this year, with ISDX, as we needed a more robust approach to certain modelling tasks that required using sub d type modelling (Freestyle in Creo, Power Surfacing in SolidWorks and TSplines in Rhino). Due to workload we have really on started to get into using Creo and already come up with what I consider to be a serious workflow killer. it appears that Creo does not support multi body part modelling is a part environment? I've read other forum posts on this but I don't think many actually understand the true implications of this. From our perspective, modelling in SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion360 etc, multi body part modelling is a core workflow. From creating master models to working with complex patterns or even simple modelling procedures. Fact is, we cannot, efficiently, model some
Hello, i would like to change a parameter with vbscript. So far I have already managed to call a model from Windchill and check it out afterwards. I can also call the value of the parameter to be changed. Unfortunately I can not change its value. I hope there are some experts here who can help me with my problem. Here is my current code that works: Option Explicit '################################################## Dim asynconnDim connDim sessionDim mdlname 'modelnameDim mdl 'Ipfc ModelDim server 'Ipfc ServerDim modelDesc 'Ipfc Model Descriptor Set asynconn = CreateObject("pfcls.pfcAsyncConnection")Set conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5)Set session = conn.session mdlname = "test.prt" set server = session.GetActiveServer set modelDesc = CreateObject("pfcls.pfcModelDescriptor").CreateFromFileName(mdlname) session.openFile(modelDesc).activate() set mdl = session.Currentmodel
