Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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

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

Hello Community,   right now I'm trying to compose a thermal Model which I want to model using a symmetric boundary condition. I've read about thermal symmetric boundary condtions in the Documentation for Simulate 5.0 but can't seem to find it in 6.0? Was it taken out? Is there a workaround?    Thanks in advance 🙂  SNC

Hi All,   I would like to get the Outer contour of a Sheet body which is an IGES file imported into Creo.  I have to get this information using Pro/Toolkit. Kindly suggest a solution. The boundary line shown in RED is what is required.   Regards, -Vijay      

Creo 4.0 M090 I'm doing some 3-axis milling, simple 2D arc and line motions, and standard pecking drill cycles, etc. A strange thing is happening, apparently due to the part models involved. Here's a brief rundown of what I did. A. Added reference model and workpiece. B. Defined some milling sequences for those two parts. C. NC-Check works fine, shows me a simulation of the material removal. D. Added another reference model and its workpiece. Basically the next stage of manufacture of the part and the results of the previous steps. E. Defined a milling sequence and some drilling cycles for the two new parts. F. Now, NC-Check gives the message in the subject line above, not only for these new cycles and the operation containing them, but also for the previously completed sequences (in steps A and B).   So, the question is, what in the world have I done wrong? I've had this problem with specific sequences when I've had a cutter that is too small, or when there is a difference in acc

I have a general view on the drawing, scale is set to custom. in the relations of the model I calculate the approx. scale and set it to a param. SC1. then i set that param to the scale of the view. The model is used as a template - there are different sizes of the actual product, but the drawings are mostly the same. The problem is that when i work on the model further and i want to manually fine-tune the scale, it sometimes jumps back to the value, preset by a param, when i regen the drawing.  This happens only on some drawings, on most it stays set to the value i manually input (when i override the set value). it doesn't help if i delete the equations and parameters. when i paste them again into the model relations, it happens again.   anyone has any idea?

hello people i have a question i draw a part screw_p2319024 it is posible to make same name in drawing name without type on keyboard same name?   i want when creating drawing file that have the same name as part of Automated   is posible the drawing have name screw_p2319024

to all   How does one get the IpfcTransform3D for a part in an assy The basic program loops though the assy and I'd like to get the  property Position. I am try to "hack" the vbapi example ' pfcAssembliesExamples' to no avail   Can any help? Thanks

It's possible to save by default, the columns configuration of the Simplify Representation windows View Manager > Simp Rep > Redefine > Settings > Columns > More...             Thank's      

Is there a way to have the value of the model annotations visible next to its name and type? I'm on Creo 4.0 M030

We have just recently got familiar with External Simplified Representations in order to keep our upper assemblies clean and free from orientations, cross sections and simplified representations that are mainly created for the drawings. External Simplified Representations offer a solution to organize each rep, orientation, ... specifically for each drawing. And that's a good thing.In our assemblies, especially lower level sub assemblies, we have created user defined simplified representations where smaller parts are excluded, general parts are in geometry representation and even some parts are in a specific representation excluding complex features. That saves us quite some time when defining a simplified representation of higher level assemblies, where you can re-use the simplified representations available on lower level assemblies.We noticed however that when defining an External Simplified Representation, you cannot reuse the lwoer level user defined simplified representations. Give

I'm working with an assembly. One of the piece parts of the assembly has sketched letters on it for electrical component call outs. I'm trying to get the sketched letters to only show up on certain views in my drawing, but when I use the layers tab and pick that specific view to hide the sketched letters in. It updates all of the drawing views with that part in it. Is this happening because I sketched the letters at the part level instead of the assembly level and now they are always associated with that part whether it's on a layer or not? Any help is appreciated as I've looked through YouTube videos and in these message boards and haven't found anything helpful, yet. This is my first time posting so if you need more info or anything please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help/direction.

Hello,   To prevent display lag in AR on the HoloLens, I often need reduce the number of polygons (facets) of a particular model. When I load the final PVZ into Vuforia Studio I always run the CAD optimizer, but sometimes this still results in too many polygons. So before exporting as a PVZ from Creo Parametric, I replace especially complex parts (lots of curves) with STL copies. When I export a part as an STL I can adjust the parameters to create a very fine detailed mesh of polygons, or a very low quality where all of the round geometry is represented by squares. I would like to preserve the geometry of round items so that they have at least 6 or more sides (not 4) -- however I want to simplify the rest of the part much more dramatically. Is there a trick to get the best of both worlds?   One time consuming method to do this is to extrude a polygon (6 or more sides) in the place of every circle (whether adding or subtracting material) -- this prevents exporting to STL from

Are there any good tricks to using the measure tool in Creo View 4.1?  It does not seem to work like Creo Parametric...    First impression... it's pretty awful...

Hi, I have a drawing which consists of referenced models which in turn contains the datum references. i found some API's related to datum references ProDrawingSetDatumTagIsShown() ProDrawingSetdatumtagVisit() the documentation states it requires special license, can these API's be used to check missing datum references of the models ?   regards, Sekar
