Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Just got a new laptop, Dell Precision 7770 w/ an Nvidia RTX A4500 laptop GPU.  I'm having some graphics issues and want to revert back to the PTC certified drivers for this platform for testing.  I'm currently on version 581.15 video drivers but I need to get back to 511.79 which is back in the 2022 timeframe. Anyone have any ideas on where the Nvidia driver archive is located?  I've tried searching their support site but it only goes back so far. Creo 8.0.0.0 Thanks...

Hi all,I have a broken piece I need to fix. How can I superimpose the pic in sketcher to draw exact profile to match and give me a accurate or close match. I have to make the red piece (See Image). Thickness is known (1.2MM). This can be a good lesson for reverse engineering. Copying the existing for  upgrade .Thanks in advance. -Yo

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0Dear PTC Support Team,We recently upgraded our Creo software from version 8 to version 11. Since this upgrade, some users have reported a significant decrease in the quality of 2D drafting outputs. Specifically, when zooming out in 2D drawings, the lines and texts appear blurred and less sharp compared to Creo 8.We have thoroughly checked the graphics card settings on the affected workstations, and everything appears to be correctly configured. Additionally, we have tested all the solutions recommended in the PTC community article (Article - CS169272) without success.Could you please confirm if there are any known graphics-related issues in Creo 11 that could cause this blurring effect? Furthermore, we would appreciate any effective workarounds or fixes that you could provide to resolve this issue.Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hello everyone,after I exclude the display of individual components using the Simplified Representation function, I can no longer edit KEs until I close and reopen the session. How can I, for example, edit sketches again?

Hi I want to transfer Solidworks properties into PTC Creo, I am able to directly open the solidworks part through the unite technology but when I look at the parameters tab my solidworks properties don't have a unit quantity or unit. Is there a way to transfer these aswell?

Hi,  When I was working with Solidworks, there were options in sub-assemblies to show, hide or promote the components under it.  When the option is set to "promote",  all components in this sub assemblies were shown in the drawing BOM in the upper assembly drawing. If it was set to "Hide", then the sub-assembly was treated like a part in upper level assembly drawing BOM.  It is a common practice to gather parts together so they can be used as a group.  It seems there is no easy way to do it in Creo.  I made a parameter called "SYSTEM_TYPE" and set the value to "Phantom_Assy", then tried to use 2 repeat regions and use filter to include and exclude parts with this value. But I couldn't make it work. Has anyone tried and success? I attach a diagram here showing what I am looking for.  The BOM in GA drawing should contain comp1, Assy1. Comp3 and Comp4.  Assy2 is a phantom assembly and doesn't show in the BOM.  Thanks for the

Hello All,  I am checking the carrying capacity of I section beam. I have applied 3000kg of load downwards divided equally into 8 bottom lugs. Two top lugs are tied to sling/rope leading towards a single point. I have created beams in creo simulate 7.0 to replicate the ropes using two end points - one on lug and one on top at a certain height..see attached pictures for your referenceHowever after running simulation I am observing a high point load on lug where the beam starts. This seems to be something unusual. I believe the load should spread on the hole of lifting lug. Can you please advise if you have any suggestion to improve the definition of sling/rope in creo simulate? is there any better way to perform it? I would highly appreciate your help with it.

getting invalid file or format while uploading the license file. tried saving it as ".txt" format but still doesn't works.

Hello,Right now we have a customer who is giving an NX file project, so we imported the model into creo and it was opened as an assembly and then I used IDD to clean it up. Now I need to extract one specific part as a (.prt file) since we will put it in CREO tool deisgn extension (which requires .prt file). I have tried (1) Copy/publish geometry however the part does not appear when I open it. I have tried (Shrinkwrap). however this option leaves holes in the surfaces. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, One of the team is using Creo in VDI (Virtual Desktop) environment & facing performance issues when tried to open assemblies and drawing files. Kindly share some best practices to enhance the performances. ThanksNaresh

Hello, I am unable to change the width of a fiber shape. No matter what value of "width" I put in for shape properties of that fiber, the width remains the same on the diagram. Any help would be appreciated!Example: One of the fibers here has a width of "10" and the other had a width of "1" but it does not change the appearance 

Ordinate Dimension Orientation: I want to flip my Dimension text around 180 Degrees.  My Parts 0 is at the left of my drawing and is the bottom of my part. And what is at the right would be the top.  So I want the bottom of my text facing the other way.    Any Ideas. I don't have room to flip my text horizontal.     

Hi Guys,  I'm working on the rollout of MBD and boost in my company and facing a few problems that I can't find solutions for.   I'm exporting Sheetmetal parts to CreoViewer (.pvz file) with a combination state set as the flat pattern, but the export combination state does not reflect the Creo displayed model.  CREOVIEWER FLAT DISPLAY STATE:Creo Parametric Flat Display State:  If Someone could point me in the correct direction to get these creo PVZ file to export with the same info as creo parametric that would be ideal.  I've alot people who have abandoned all hope over this small problem.

I have a fairly simple parting faces quilt that I need to finish out but I can't get the boundary seam of the opposing cylinders to become tangent.  After completing the parting faces quilt I need to use the thicken option to uniformly thicken these faces to build a gutter model; as is I can only thicken the quilt to about .125 where it will need to be .500 in thickness.Shown below is the area I am struggling with.  The highlighted edges show the area that I am working on.  I have penciled the non-tangent seams in red.I have attempted different options from Boundary Blend to the Style function.  I have attempted this with and without curve rails in the red highlighted areas.   I know that there naturally is an area of twist due to the conflicting up facing and down facing cylinder extrudes.  Might there be some kind of option that would iron out the natural seams to allow tangency throughout?  (I also tried this as a simple 4 sided boundary

While using the Creo plugin within Hexagon’s PC-DMIS to load an MBD model, I’m seeing some additional dimensions in PC-DMIS that were not actually created in Creo MBD Model.I’ve checked the annotations and combination states—everything looks clean in Creo. Is this a known issue with the plugin or PMI interpretation?Any suggestions to control or filter what PC-DMIS reads from the Creo model would be helpful.

When zooming in Creo Parametric 10.0.5 the text turns into squares. The more I zoom in the more characters turn into squares. Collegues do not have this problem. How do i fix this?

Hello, I often find the floating dashboard that appears when selecting something to be located right over what I am trying to work on in both the drawings and models. Is there some way I can simply dock it to one location? like the corners of the screen? See below picture for an example of the menu I am describing.   

Hello, everyone. The challenge is: How to identify wire harness/cable components directly from a repeat region.Version: Creo 10.Assemblies, parts, and skeletons can be easily identified from the common repeat regions. Then, piping and sheet metal parts can also be identified from their unique parameters. Is there a way to idenfity cables/wire harness components from their parameters or properties?- By clicking "Bill of materials" button from ribbon, we get the .txt file with cable details, but this is totally useless for general BOM purposes.- Adding a new parameter is not feasible, considering the "universe" of assemblies/parts that would need to be revised. Then, not this way. Thank you in advance.

Hi Community, Creo 10 drawing interface - Is there a way to identify a missing reference for local section in drawing view properties.  

I would like to create a weld symbol in creo drawing. If there is any standard symbol available in library please suggest that name.

Creo Parametric 11.0.5 My organization just upgraded Creo parametric from 8.0.4 to 11.0.5compaarison of 11 vs 8

Facing an issue regularly while opening assembly file showing outdated component/feature. For now, I found only one way replace the each component, where there are more number of components to see the task what before day did. Took time to achieve the assembly that was in progress for last day, time completed to start from there. Someone find this issue and give a suggestion for this. And I'm using educational version creo.11.0

I love learning which is probably why I teach classes.  I first learned the basics of sheet metal as a kid racing motorcycles with my dad. Whenever we crashed and something broke on the bike, the challenge was to quickly fabricate a new sheet metal bracket or mount to place properly whatever had bent. We had to be back on track for the next heat race. At the motocross track, resources are limited. Often with only a vise and an adjustable wrench maybe a grinder and a vice we are making brackets & bending other brackets to accommodate mangled geometry. My dad took the time to explain the basics sheet metal so sheet metal is personal for me. Stretch, flat patterns, grain direction & Aluminum cracks where steel bends without tearing, Everything in racing is a learning opportunity. Those early lessons taught me the value of resourcefulness, problem-solving and understanding the fundamentals of sheet metal which leads me to this challenge.  Here is a great dad jok
