Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello to all, I'm trying to export a Creo Parametric assembly in pvz that contains annotations both at the assembly level and at the part level. Annotations are found in several combined states. The latter are exported to the pvz and I display them in Creo View 6.0. However, only the combined states of the assembly are exported, but not those contained in the parts. Is there a possibility to do it? If so, how? Thank you, Matteo

Hello I am curious to know why there is no specific section for ECAD in this forum ? Does that mean that Creo is not used for ECAD and schemantic designs ?   I am trying to find out if Creo fully support IEC81346   I have found this thread below which is now closed and it would appear that in the past this was not the case. However, I could not find any update nor could I find a datasheet telling me which IEC standard Creo supports. Thank you in anticipation for any clue 🙂   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Feature-names-with-special-characters-and-to-document-Reference/idi-p/459036

Hello everyone!Please tell me how to add dependencies (other jar files) to the project jar file.For example, I want to use logging during development, but I can not start the application, since Creo throws an error that the class will not find.I used the gradle build tool. I pointed out the classpath in MANIFEST, added jar files inside my jar, but it still doesn't work. My gradle code: jar { //from { // configurations.runtimeClasspath.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } //} manifest { attributes( "Implementation-Title": "Jar Making Example", 'Implementation-Version': "1.0", "Main-Class": "ru.Test", "Class-Path": configurations.runtimeClasspath.files.collect { it.getName() }.join(' ') ) } destinationDirectory = file("build\\tmp\\jar") archivesBaseName = 'app' //C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 5.0.2.0\Common Files\text\java\otk.jar } My jar: My MANIFEST: My code: public class Test { private static final Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(Test.class); public stati

Hello， I have a question about creo toolkit. I want to draw the trajectory path in the creo environment in the completed CAD file. Do I have a way to output the drawn trajectory path lines as point data or other file types that can be read by the robot ? According to the figure below, I want to draw the welding trajectory path on the asterisk surface. How can I use the toolkit to draw and output point data?     Thanks, Roger  

Hello Forum, What is the system parameter for unit that has been used in the model/drawing? I want to use it for title block so when ever a model is introduced to the sheet, the sheet shall update the units of the dimensions.   Also the same parameter for NHA for title block   Thanks in advance, Sanjay

Hello,   I've started my all templates working with 0,005 mm absolut accuracy. I've been talking with the guys in CAM programming, and their software is working with a tolerance of 0,02mm, which is a larger tolerance, compared to the one I'm using in CREO. So I was wondering to increase a bit my tolerance in CREO, for having less constraints in surfacing construction. The value that I want is 0,01 mm.   My question is, I've a few hundreds of drawn parts right now in my project. I don't want to change the accuracy one by one. So, is there any way to change all the parts for the new accuracy tolerance? How to do it?

I am facing problems to select a 3D part in an assembly, when I posisionate the mouse on the part it gets preselected, but when I click to select, it doesn't select the part. After trying twice, three times the part gets selected. It seems to be a configuration problem, because when I use the touchpad of my laptop, I can perfectly select the part, with no single problem. I already replaced my mouse to another one and the  problem is the same.   Can anyone helpe me with this situation?   I am using Creo 3.0 M080. My laptop is a Dell, processor intel i7, RAM memory of 16GB, dedicated AMD video board of 2GB.   Thanks.

Dear All,   My concern is that my company has specific bend table program for this ,and its tough for me to calculate the length and width of the unbended part ,example I have sheet with 3 mm rolled to 100 MM dia with 100 mm length but so whenever I go with the formula of PI()*D for width ,it deviate from the what creo give. Is there any method to join the L & WIDTH in d relation from unbended family part.   Thanks, Manish

Hi,   I am working on a project for CFD simulation, which I have to create a solid block to represent the air. I have tried to use boolean operators to cut out the geometry (or create a negative) from the block. It turned out that the materials were successfully removed, but a warning appeared as shown in the screenshot.     Does anyone know the solution to this?      

Dear PTC Community,I have a fairly simple question which I could not find an answer to. I have created a framework assembly with some rectangular tubes that are welded together. There is one (main) sketch in the assembly that controls the lengths and locations of all the tubes. The tube pieces are parts in the assembly which are auto-generated using the framework AFX. I do now use a family table which is changing dimensions of the (main) sketch in the assembly to build several "configurations" of the whole framework assembly. (I do this because I am lazy and just want to do the drawing once...) The problem I run into is that the parts (tube pieces) inside the framework assembly are auto-generated by the framework AFX and have the same name in each "configuration". This obviously creates the problem that each single (tube piece) part (which is auto-generated by the AFX) can not exist having multiple values for the same dimension so it can be re-used in each configuration of the assembly

While exporting some step files and then importing them, all the extra trim surface that are hidden are coming along with the part. This doesn't work when you are trying to render some parts. Is there a way to have these extra surface remove during the creation of a step file?

... an ongoing thing with regenerating family tables See previous discussions: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/Regenerating-Family-Table-Instances/m-p/591305 https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/Regenerated-Family-Table-Instances-Part-2/m-p/595097   I just recently notice a behavior (and it is probably - "works as expected/programmed")   I use a lot of mapkeys and some quick keys and sometimes I am a couple steps ahead of the computer. Recently I notice that I randomly get this sketch window pop-up from which I have to exit. I have now found out that this from when I do an "Alt-F, S" (to save) and the computer only "sees" the "S" and thinks I want to start a sketch. The question that I have is that when I cancel out of this command, the model is then looking to be regenerated (along with all the instances). If I cancel our of the command, why does it need to be regenerated?

How can you get/read specific value from a parameter with value series in relations? I assume its with argument value. I can pass entire value series of parameter in relations but i need specific based on argument.    

Hello, does anyone know a way to update all the dependent views linked in a drawing?   Instead of changing all the Display Styles individually, I would just like to change the parent view and then after I change that view the others would automatically update to that same Display style.   I attached the menu for Drawing Views just to make it more clear.

Having been trying to get creo to do a planar bend - it looks like there is an error in either the way I am doing things, or in the way Creo performs the bend:   for example  if the ID = 2080mm, then the circumference should be 6534.5mm. If I create a flat strip 6534mm long, this should bend to an ID of 2080 with a small gap  so why when the part is bent with a radius of 1040 do i end up with an ID circumference of 6387mm? and a 147mm gap when the bend line is on the end of the part? why is Creo making the "blank" shorter than modeled.    i have tried several bend tables, but they make no difference.   also as a side point on a creo forum why cant creo files be uploaded????       

Hai all,   Please let me know how to change the default draft angle value in part modeling.By default it will be 1.00°, I want to change it to 0.50°. I know it will be somewhere in config file but not able to locate.

Hi all,I create an assembly's UDF that assembles a component and creates the necessary machining. just a hole in my case.When I create the hole, I check the Part Nivel option in the intersection tab.and when I reproduce the UDF, the hole remains in Assembly Nivel.someone knows how to keep the intersection option?thanksRon

I'm working on a very large assembly in Creo 5, which is some legacy hardware created by a group that no longer exists. I don't know what version the assembly was created in, but it was done in 2000. I had numerous errors upon opening the assembly, all of which I was able to solve except this last one.There is a part that was apparently used as a skeleton. It is full of surface ids, created off of surface sets. The problem is, the feature which has failed has a missing reference of a surface set. But since there are no surfaces to redefine the feature to, I can't fix the missing reference. It won't allow me to use a datum plane either. I can't delete the feature, because half the items in the top-level assembly fail.At a loss for how to solve this. Hoping someone has a trick up their sleeve. Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks, im trying to draw a model for a sinusoidal stent on creo to later be used in ANSYS as a part of my final year project in college,(Stent FEA) ive started by drawing the sine wave using an equation in creo, then mirrored this pattern to create a flat wall, im looking now to make the pattern into a cylinder shape before selecting my geometry for the analysis. but im having serious trouble getting the stent to wrap, ive tried a toridal bend but no joy! any one have any ideas or can help? ive attached some files below. im also looking to have a different material in the core of the stent, but ill take it one step at a time!   Thanks!    EDIT** ive added a second folder (two materials) with a sine wave with two materials, but i cant now get it to pattern into the amount of lines i want.     Mosey Mechanical / Biomedical Engineering student

Hi All,   I'm facing a very annoying issue I can't get solved. In Creo 3.0 this program helped me a lot by creating hundreds of PDF files for me. Now since I'm on Creo 4.0 - M110 I'm trying to do the same but it keeps failing after the second object. The first 2 object are running as usual but then it hangs for about 15minutes and fails the rest of the objects. In the log file the following error is showed but I don't know what to do with it. "Connected to Creo Pro | Failed | [-1] Error: General problem during data conversion."   Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello community!! I read about how object toolkit c++ works and I have a query related to it. If I am not wrong visual studio is used as IDE/compiler to write, compile and run object toolkit c++ application code and link with object toolkit c++ libraries. Or is there an IDE/compiler of creo object toolkit c++ to compile and run the programs of object toolkit? I am confused regarding the role of otk_install_app, creotk.dat file and otk_install.sln directory which specifies visual studio solution. Awaiting your replies and suggestions... Regards, Rohan

In article CS268117 there is a solution only for PDF documents. How can we handle other filetypes? Regards Jochen    

Hi all,   Is there a way to turn off the section outline in Creo 3.0. I have found that you can change the colour by  changing the "Letter" colour in Options>system colours>graphics. I have also played with the hatching on/off. However this doesn't solve my problem; my problem is that the section outline is visible "through" the part when viewed from the rear, see attached "section" and "section reverse" for both sides of the model. Worse still, if I want to exclude parts from the section, you can see the outline behind the excluded part. See the "excluded part" attachment.   What I would like to do is have the outline only visible from the side of the section or even remove this outline completely. The same happens on other machines on site so I'm guessing Creo is working as designed and there are no GPU driver bugs. I'm hoping there is a setting somewhere that will remove the outline. Other than that I guess I could section the model with an extruded cut, which s

Note: Files are saved in Creo Parametric Student Version   Hi, I am attempting to create a 3D model of a fish for 3D printing.   I have a 3D model already (.obj file) however it doesn't seem to want to work. I would like to convert that .obj to a solid so I can edit it with Creo Parametric but I am having difficulties. I am not used to working with .stl or .obj files that make use of facets. (What I would like to do is split it into several parts (allowing for maximum printing area constraints on 3D printer) and increase the thickness of the walls.)   As that doesn't seem to want to work for me I am attempting Plan B. Please see attached a sketch of the fish (i.e. a 2D sketch in .prt format), the .obj file and a .prt file created by importing the .obj file and saving as a .prt. The sketch has been made by roughly tracing the outer boundaries of the .obj file. (It doesn't have to be perfect.)   If someone could advise the best possible way for me to convert the sketc
