Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello,i have an aluminium cylinder De60 Di54 L148 [mm]with the attached condition (Condition 1 e 2 . jpg)As a result of the thermal analysis (Thermal_analysis.jpg) i have what show in "Result.jpg" about thermal analysis I'm not sure that is correctCan you give me your opinion about it? Thank you

Hello, I would like to see if is possible to create multiple individual drawings from one main assembly. Currently our templates are set up so the revision level and initials displayed in the drawing are attached to the model and windchill. This works fine for the initial drawing that will get approved by the customer but because we treat each drawing as its own separate entity/part number and can be used to make multiple different end items, it becomes a massive headache. Currently we are having to create a family table with a separate instance per each drawing, which is a massive pain for file management and if we have to make any changes to a model once created. Also, since we custom machine and fabricate all of our products, we build our end item/complete assembly first then create the different supporting drawings by hiding components using component display. Any insight on how to make this possible would be greatly appreciated.

We want to get details of every GTOL (Feature control frames) created in on the every sheet (sheet wise). session.GetModelWindow(model).Activate() sheet = model Dim drawing = CType(model, IpfcDrawing) Dim nsheets = drawing.NumberOfSheets Dim sheetData = drawing.GetSheetData(1) Dim test = drawing.ListItems(EpfcModelItemType.EpfcITEM_ANNOTATION_ELEM) Dim mItem = CType(sheet, IpfcModelItemOwner) Dim feats = mItem.ListItems(EpfcModelItemType.EpfcITEM_GTOL)But we cant get any GTOL in feats.We tried quering dimensions, we get those dimensions. but from mulitple sheets.How can i get GTOLs. how we can understand to which sheet they belong.

Hi, I've attached an example with two flexible assemblies. Each of these assemblies contains two parts whose x-position is controlled using a variable dimension. Now my task is to get the "actual" position as it can be seen in the main assembly. I obviously can't use wfcWComponentFeat::getPosition as this gets me the "as constructed" position. I tried to call wfcWComponentFeat::Refresh and wfcWComponentFeat::RefreshRelations before calling getPosition but this hasn't changed anything... Do i have to calculate the correct position myself or is there some kind of "trick" that i have to do in order to get the correct position? Thanks, Christoph

I opened a drawing to make a simple revision and immediately had trouble selecting items.  If I select a note the green box that normally surrounds the selection is offset and rotated.    Creating a new note results in the same.  I created a new sheet and switched the note to that new sheet and it is normal there.  switching it back to original sheet and it messed up again.  It only appears to be a problem on that sheet of that drawing.  It is affecting tables in a similar way.  Has anyone seen this and there is a way to fix it? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.8.0on a bulk item PProMdlType::PRO_MDL_PARTProMdlsubtype::PROMDLSTYPE_BULKProParameterDelete returns PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERRORThis same code works fine on parts.The UI can delete these parameters. I am a bit lost as to why i cannot delete them. If i am suppose to be able to delete these, i will create a mini project and share the source.

There anyway simple to identify what part is suppressed in a mammoth .asm? Tricks / Tips Pl ....Thx in advance!

I want to rotate an existing group in a part and delete the original. I tried: - Paste special and then used the independent option: It's not independent.- Paste special and then used the advanced option: Cannot simply rotate.- Tried Pattern: Cannot delete/suppress original. Is there a simple way to do it? 

Is there a way, in CREO 10, to get the surface of an extrude to look different than the background surface?The first picture is what I was trying to achieve -- a plaque (i.e. an ornamental tablet, typically of metal, porcelain, or wood, that is fixed to a wall or other surface in commemoration of a person or event).The second picture shows how it looks in CREO, using NO HIDDEN -- anything else (like SHADING WITH EDGES) transforms it into something horrible, that cannot be understood (my colors in CREO have always been awful, never managed to get those nice pastel colors that other people show on YouTube).The third picture shows how it should look even in CREO -- I used colors to make a point, but what I had in mind was at least a GRAINY surface, different from the background surface of the respective plaque, just to make sense to someone who is trying to figure out what they are looking at (no need to look artistically pleasant, but to be at least intelligible).Any ideas would be great

Hi, I need a help to start a creo in a custom way likewise.If it start creo, the config.pro, templates & other files should be copied to local drive from the shared drive. Once i close the creo session & start fresh again it should remove the old files & then copy the same files again from shared drive to local drive.Note : this is a windchill based environment.Kindly help me with the procedure to perform this task.ThanksNaresh

I'm currently working on trying to evaluate the safety of the screws used for a lift bar of a block but seem to not be able to get reasonable values for the stresses inside the bolts. I believe that the model is over constrained but don't know how to fix it. I'm currently using Creo 11 simulate not the live one.  The assembly consists of a large steel block (approx. 4,400 lbs), with a T-shaped lift bar bolted to it. The lift bar is mounted using three screws: two on either end of the top of the T and one at the base. The lifting point is centered on the crossbar of the T (via an eyebolt), and in the simulation this point is fixed. Gravity is applied in the -Y direction using -386.1 in/sec².The fasteners are 1-inch diameter UNRC coarse-thread screws modeled using Creo Simulate's screw fastener feature. They are threaded directly into the block (no nuts), with preload disabled. The materials are high-carbon alloy steels. Analysis Type: Structural, nonlinear with large defo

Hi all ,   I have to simulate an Escapement mechanism's kinematics.     I want to know if modeling the mechanism in Creo is even feasible before I start.It works back and forth ('foliot') and is not only a two-wheel rotation that is impacted by diameter ratios. (Key innovation: the escapement) I want to know if using a Creo mechanism is even feasible.   I appreciate the answers in advance.

Hello Community,While working with Creo MBD and exporting the models in STEP AP 242 format for downstream use, I'm facing the following issues:Notes and Symbols MisalignmentAnnotations placed using the "Flat to Screen" display option are not exporting correctly.After import, their orientation and scaling appear distorted or inconsistent with the original combined state view.Semantic PMI Reference IssuesSome semantic references, especially surfaces selected for dimensions like shaft lengths, appear to be mapped incorrectly or changed post-export/import.I would like to know:Are there recommended export settings or best practices in Creo for ensuring accurate STEP 242 output (especially for semantic PMI and screen annotations)?Similarly, are there any import settings or tool-specific considerations for maintaining annotation fidelity in the target system?Is it advisable to avoid using “flat to screen” annotations when targeting STEP 242 format? Creo 8.0 user..

I am using Creo Parametric version 6.0. I need to use my drawing for multi-region purposes.  When I tried to find a solution, it led to controlling layer properties using the view manager option for drawing in the view tab and the combined state option. But I couldn't find the View Manager option in the View tab in the drawing file. Where shall i find the view manager option ?

Hello, I would like to hear some opinion on Creo Unite and experiences if someone have.I used Open and Import possibilities in Creo to open SolidWorks assembly files and assemble it in top level assembly. So when using open it stay in native (SW) form and in behind Creo make wrapper files which we can see on local folders (*SLDASM.creo, *SLDPRT.creo) but not on windchill. When using import it creates links to original SolidWorks files and save it in native Creo files with .asm and .prt formats. So what are better features in case of updating that SW files when someone send it to us, to use Open or Import. As i could see so far both have capabilities of updating when you overwrite newly SW assemblies in a local folder or checking in new version in Windchill. We even tested Open and Import with inseparable assemblies , so we received SW files with virtual components (inseparable or embedded in Creo), and Creo understood that well. So considering performance , that imported component

Hello, I receive the errror message listed in subject line when trying to post an NC file.  I have set the "ncpost_type" setting in the configuration editor previously.  I am using Creo 9.   Any help is appreciated.  

Is there away to make a representation that puts all sub models in a assembly to a defined user defined representation? So lets say that company standard defines that each part model has following custom representations: * Medium_Rep* Low_Rep So one way would be to have a representation in assembly level that is also called Medium_Rep and Low_Rep that would automatically set every part to their .respective representation. We can off course do this manually one by one, but is there a way to automate setting of user representation in bulk? Or even entirely automatically?

Hello,Why isn't it possible to determine the angle using the table pattern?If possible, how can I make it work? The 40° in the picture.

Whichever file I import into Creo (I tried two separate vendors with Inventor, random Grabcad models, and even exporting simple block from Creo and then reimporting it back) - it only imports as a surface. The geometry is fine (no errors) and I can easily solidify it, but I don't seem to be able to find a way how to do this automatically. I am importing large assemblies made by subcontractors with hundreds of parts, so turning each part into solid isn't an option.  I have all geometry "enhancements" disabled, and all the other settings seemingly correct:   Regardless, the Import feature always defaults to "Add Surfaces".Most often I am able to just change it to "Add bodies", or Solidify the geometry outside the "Import" feature - so there are no issues with the geometry I assume:  I looked but I couldn't find a config.pro setting to force Creo to default to "Add bodies" instead of "Add Surfaces" (or other means to solidify the geometry). Is there any

I am working on a project to create a UDF library for screw threads in Creo 10.0.4.0 The goal is to have the user enter the nominal OD and TPI for UN threads and get the appropriate geometry driven by relations based off ISO 228 My problem is that it is unclear how to implement these. When I follow the instructions here after selecting features ( To Define Variable Parameters in a UDF ) the dialogue box suggested on step 3 just doesn't open, and the dialogue box stays at 'All elements have been defined. Select element(s) or action(s) from the dialogue box'. Features that are relation-driven (like the OD of the cylinder that constitutes the screw, or the pitch values used for the helical sweep ) are not eligible as variable elements or dimensions either (google results suggested you sometimes need to set the features/dimensions that are parameterized as variable before you use the variable parameters option, but this hasn't worked for me) My next idea is to just

Is there a limit to the length of the mapkey that I can run in the BaseSession.RunMacro(String mapkey) command in JLink toolkit? I have code that dynamically generates a mapkey to extend its functionality. I group all the mapkey parts that it generates together in one long String. Then I run that macro right before returning control to Creo. I decided to do it this way, to make the mapkey run sequentially.Depending on the number of parts in the assembly, this mapkey becomes long. Very long. Creo hangs when control is returned to it. I can only force quit Creo at that point. The debugger runs until the end of the code and then returns control to Creo, and it starts to hang. On shorter mapkeys, it is not a problem. Control returns to Creo. The mapkey gets executed. The code functions. The problematic mapkey is 4000 lines and 200 000 characters long. Is it known what the limit is? Either a formal limit or a practical limit? Then I could decide when to develop or use a workaround

Hi, I am currently converting legacy drawings drawn using AutoCAD into 3D models and draft 2D from the 3D models. I would like to draft these 2D in such a way that is applicable for all the regions. For example, we would like to show the annotations in Japanese if it's been accessed from Japan, or in English with metric units if it is accessed from India or in English with imperial units if it's been accessed from US. As all the three formats use a common ".PRT"/".ASM" file, is there any recommended way to meet my requirement without the need for creating multiple ".DRW" files? Thanks in advance. Software: CREO Parametric 6.0
