Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello, Is there a setting to fix the space / no space scenerio shown? Creo 6.0. Wayne  

Hi,   In other CAD applications you can see a sketch that is shadowed behind a solid component. How to get this behavior in CREO (4.0)? I have an assembly drawing, and in one view I would like to see assembly sketch elements on the same "level" as the object lines, however since they are behind a part I can't see them.   Thanks Rick

Why is a parts list - bill of materials called a repeat region in CREO? I can't make sense of it in any context. OK, it is a region on a drawing, but that is pretty obtuse, and repeat, repeat what?!   What is the difference between a record and an index?   When you start the repeat region command, Fix Index is an option, does this mean fix as in "repair" or lock in place?   When you hit the fix index command is asks you to select a repeat region, then you get the next panel Which has fix index commands. This should be an edit menu where the fin unfix are options, the symantics of this menu structure is arcane. Does this drive anyone else nuts too?            

Hello, I have issue in Creo 4 M110. When I highlight parts in assemblies, Creo shows also datum planes and coordinate systems inside. Is there possibility to turn off this options?  

There is a requirement that we need to send "Model Check" Errors from Creo to Teamcenter when Creo files get saved into Teamcenter . Moreover I have observed that when "Model Check" Utility gets completed , Its generating a XML files in the local user machine ( For Example Windows Machine : C:\home\temp\mc_reports) where all the errors information mentioned in XML Format. What are all the options that can be used to transfer the "Model Check" Errors from Creo to Teamcenter ? So that while publish it check that file once .if error or warning exist user can rectify before publish the part.

to all   Can't find what I am looking for in the help. In .vb I am looking for the commande/keyword to hide a part/model I am looping through parts of an assy (Dim Model As IpfcModel) and would like to hide the part being processed based on some criteria. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks

Hi,   I've got a question:   Is it possible to show the value of a parameter in a Drawing as an attached note ?   Lets say that I there is a screw in a drawing of an assembly. I want to add a note with a leader that automatically shows the value of the parameter "&designation" of the selected part.   And is it possible to add a button ("Designation-Note") to the drawing-menue ? Or is it possible to create a mapkey with that functionality ?   How can it be done ?   Thanks a lot, Maik    

As usual, when they revised the GUI (Bold New Graphics!), they completely FUBAR'd things.  I'm simply trying to export a STEP file and NEED to pick a specific CS....aaaaand I can't.  This interface $uck$!  For some reason the ability to pick a CS is greyed out.  What?????  This is something we NEED to do often.  Is there an "optional" module I need or something?  I'm p!$$ed. Oh, and in detailing mode the ribbon is somehow even WORSE than before!  Man, I didn't think it was possible to make the ribbon worse, but they managed it.  I don't know whether to give PTC kudos for that or not...(sarcasm). I should have stayed on Creo 3, and just gone to M180.  So, when I lease Creo for personal use shortly, I'm not going to bother with Creo 4 since it's such a large step BACKWARD...   SRSLY PTC???

Hello ,    The optimization feature in PTC Creo parametric build direction command closes down automatically. Does anybody know the reason for this?  Thank You

I have looked in the "Help Center" after the name of the feature parameter "end_type" for the out-port of a fitting when this type differs from the in-port.In the fitting file it is named nend_type. But it is not clear what the feature parameter in the model should be called.Also, if the coupling is a T-coupling, should the parameter-name be something else for the branch?I hope there is someone out there who can help me.

Hello, Is there a config setting that controls where versioned file backups are saved using a relative file path?   Ideally, when I hit ctrl-S, a new file without a version number would be saved in the working directory, and the versioned file would be saved to ./archive. I'm always purging the versioned files to keep my working directory cleaned up, but then if I need them, they're already gone. If I could automatically keep them in an archive folder, that would help my workflow.

Hello,  I've noticed a difference when it comes to accessing curves using vb (C# in my case). While trying to create a UDF with a curve reference using C# I can fetch the curve feature:   item = modelOwner.GetItemById((int)EpfcModelItemType.EpfcITEM_CURVE, "nameOfSubItemCurve");   The curve is also visible thru:   features = componentModel.ListFeaturesByType(null, EpfcFeatureType.EpfcFEATTYPE_CURVE); curves = features[0].ListSubItems(EpfcModelItemType.EpfcITEM_CURVE); curve = curves[0];   In this case the curve reference is an ordinary curve.  But when the curve is created using the "curve from equation" there are no SubItems in the feature object.    Is this a limitation in the VB api?    Note that i'm not including the decleration of the variables item, features, curves, componentModel and modelOwner. Those are defines correctly to represent the current part and feature of the model. 

Hi, we use new powered PC, and we encountered slow file saving in Creo 6.0.0.0 ver. We use SSD disk, Creo start with SSD, and Creo save file on SSD, process to save small file about 2 minuties, very slow. On my old PC creo 6 save same file 10 sec. How find problem? 

When I was trying to prepare a design from class for 3D printing I received the following error:   "The file C:\...\Creo3D\Creo 6.0.20\Common Files\text\3d-printing\prin3d_certified.conf was created with a commercial version of Creo Parametric and is not compatible with the version of Creo Parametric Student Edition (for educational use only) you are running."    Is there anyway to resolve this? Thanks.

Due to the internal working of the hole feature the axis of a flat bottom hole does not remain the sam when changed to conic end.   this is why creo uses the extrude algorithm for a flat bottom hole and the revolve algorithm for all the other hole types.   if find this annoying because all the child feature linked to the hole axis, fail when i change its end.   i think this must be changed

We are trying to import a wiring harness design from Vesys into Creo to Route in Cabling, whenever I try to import an XML file I get this message. can anyone help, I presume we need some specific settings for export from vesys?  

The only thing I can find is 8 years old so I'm posting this question again hoping that it has been addressed since then. What I'm trying to do is create a ribbon cable that has 16 conductors, 28AWG, with a 2.54mm pitch. This would be Belden 9L28016 008H100 ribbon cable.Its supposed to be 0.80" wide but Creo Cabling doesn't have an obvious way to adjust spacing between conductors so my cable is coming out with a width of approx. 0.49". This will be connected in an assembly between a base and a moving door so I would like to have the features offered by creating the harness in Cabling. But I just can't seem to find a way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a mapkey to close all windows?

Can anyone explain why creo's error message are so unhelpful? Any error message requires a google search to find an explanation. Do the coders who write the messages hate the users? They must, right?

Since the update from Creo 2.0 M230 to M250, I have large speed issues. When opening dimension properties, it takes 30 seconds until the pop-up screen appears. The same when editing something in a table.... Are there some settings I have to change after the updta from M230 to M250?

After designing my mold cavity and extracting the mold components they are assigned a color based on my system color settings. My company will take those mold components and reassemble them in a standalone assembly to be inserted into a mold base, I will usually changed the color and maybe add transparency to each individual component at this time. My issue is if I ever need to make a geometry change in the manufacturing assembly, all the components are reassigned back to the default system colors again.   Does anyone know of a way to stop the system colors overriding my user defined appearances? I know I can change the system color to something else but I generally don't want all the mold components the same color, different colors makes it easier for the toolmakers to differentiate parts and shutoff locations.   Thanks.

hello,   I found while working ,when I open xxx.asm file through teamcenter all sub part file opens directly, but xxx.cem file is not opened. But when I open in different window the same xxx.cem file  open easily and then visible in xxx.asm file.   Is there any way or work around to open xxx.cem file in the same xxx.asm file directly through teamcenter in first attempt rather to open manually on other window.

someone have the following table files handy that they can upload?  Thanks in advance.circuit data bom connector splice bundle

Hello to everybody. I've created a manikin in my assembly but when I click visual cones icon, this message comes out : "Cannot access visual cones (missing mode)"   Thanks
