Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have been playing around with Intelligent Fastener and was wondering if there is any way of adding the fasteners but with real features rather than cosmetic features for threads and such.

I have a question. I am having trouble finding out if there is a way to scale a simple a model in Creo 4. My issue is that I would like to use my original model as the "default" of 1 and be able to scale it from there, but being able to scale it back to "1" whenever I need to. The only ways I know of are:   1.) Use "Scale model", then use a calculator to find out how to get back to your original scale of "1" 2.) Set all dims in a relation of original value multiplied by a "Scale" parameter (which would take me a long time to set up since I have 70-100 dims in my model 3.) Use "Scale model", then Save As as a separate model   We are taking a model and running several simulations on it, finding an optimum result. Our analyst would like to just take the model and use a scale factor, so he will be running several iterations, using many scale factors. Any help would be great!

We are welding heavy metal frames en the weldings weight easily exceeds 60 kg per frame. We like to sum this weight with our net component weight and display one weight at the drawing. There is a repeat table parameter (weldasm.totalmass) that holds the weldings weight but I do not like to show it in the bom list and rather like to make the sum of the net weight and the weldings weight. Does anyone have experience configuring this ?

Hello all,   We are trying to access a web-page.But it is having compatibility issues with Chromium browser. (Attached snip of Chromium browser details)How to debug embedded chromium browser in Creo 4 as developer tool? Please comment.   Regards,Pratik Chougule

We do sheet metal roll forming.  We have some parts that are manufactured 2-out, meaning the same profile is made side by side then cut apart to make 2 of the same parts.  Currently we make an assembly of the part flat to make manufacturing drawings.  We are wanting to transition to using hole tables on our drawings, but I can not find how to add a hole table to an assembly drawing.  Does anyone have a way to better show a 2 out flat instead of making an assembly of the 2 flats?  I would like to stick with the one part file so everything stays associated with the part.

Buongiorno a tutti, ho installato CREO 4 M010 su windows 10.Quando lancio l'esecutivo mi da questo messaggio:Ho aggiornato windows e lo fa ancora.Ho scaricato l '"universal c runtime" direttamente dal sito windows ma niente.Qualcuno può darmi una mano?Grazie

Hello,   I have overlayed an image in my model.  However, the image does not display in my drawing views.  How can I get the image to display in drawing views?  Thank you.

My understanding is that Simulation Live uses the GPU to perform calculations.  When I run a simulation on a part, task manager shows the CPU running hard and the GPU not doing very much.   Is this normal or is there a setting that I should look at to allow the GPU to take on some of the work?   CREO 4.0 GPU:  NVIDIA Quadro P4000• Version 86.4.a7.0.d• Memory ~25 GB

I have some features in one part that have inside one of them, some relations.   Now in an assembly, I copied and made the paste special, the same features to other part. after having made the advanced reference configuration, and all the features pasted to the new part, I visited the relation to the corresponding extrude, and there wasn't any relations inside.       My question is, how can i copy those features, and bring the needed relations to the other part, without losing the relations?  

I have a few features defined in one part, those features depend in a few curves, planes, edges on a skeleton. I need to copy and past those features to a few other parts. I tried to use the copy and past special option, but it's a tedious work, I would like to copy and paste those features exactly with the same references, so it would be the option of "use original reference", but is greyed out...   Is there any way to do this?  

Hello, Is there a way to eliminate a quota line?Let me explain better (or at least I try), when I go to quote a model in the .drw, I would like that the horizontal line of the linear dimension inside the model is not seen.Attached an example. Is it feasible in your opinion? Ty, Matteo.

Hello. We are currently migrating from Creo 2 to 4. As the title says, we need to hide hole notes from the model display. When using Creo 2, we had a configuration called model_note_display but looks like this configuration was deleted since Creo 3. We are wondering if any other configuration replaced that function. We know we have the display_annotations config, but that would also hide other stuff we need like geometric tolerances or dimensions on the models. Another solution could be hiding the layer where the hole notes are, but we don't have access to modify the start files, not all the models have the same layer structure and we would need to do it on every model we open (at least for the first time).   Regards

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.    Webinar: Flexible Clutch Spring Model with Creo Friday, March 27th 2020 12:00 pm CT    RSVP  https://design-engine.com/webinar-spring/    Bart Brejcha Design-engine.com

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
