Creo+ and Creo Parametric

When placing a constraint the part moves.  How can I stop this behavior?  Thanks.

Here's a short video that shows how to extrude a 3D curve or a surface edge in the space using Creo Parametric.     (view in My Videos)

I'm trying to update our sheet format to have values in a note that are driven from the part parameter.  The only way I've found to do this is having the parameter string in a table such as when setting up a title block.    For example, if I want the description from the part to show on the drawing in a spot other than the title block, I have to have the &description in a table and that would be driven by the Description in the part.  Can I do this without using a table?  When I use a note, it just reads the string name entered in the sheet format and doesn't change to any value that I assign in the part.

Anyone know of a point by point comparison of these two products?

Sounds like a silly question...I know there is a config option to control which models are saved with a drawing (always or modified only)... but I can't for the life of me remember if it is even possible to only save the drawing.   I've created an automation project with all model parameters externally controlled, and want users to be able to modify drawing templates and save them as new drawings, without saving the underlying configurable models.

We made it.  Went from Creo3 to Creo6 in the New Year.  Whilst doing view illustrations, I need to change from the FILE >  OPTIONS > SYSTEM APPEARANCE > SYSTEM COLORS > pick DARK to BLACK ON WHITE.  Then change back.  work some, change to BonW, change back, etc all day long.    HELP.  It seems that I spend sooo much time streaming the menus of FILE >  OPTIONS > SYSTEM APPEARANCE > SYSTEM COLORS > pick DARK to BLACK ON WHITE or vs-versa too often that there must be some toggle icon for on/off betwixt the two.  If not, why not.  Or can a keyboard on/off toggle do the same?    It's been a very long 2 weeks constantly toggling this long way.  I've been spoiled in other CAD systems with  functionality like that for years.  Just these past 3 years is different in CREO.    

Hello!!   I'm trying to create a UDF on weblink. A point of referenceitem is required when creating UDF. I want to include not only point but vertex (edge-start,end) and csys. Is there any way??   var session = pfcGetProESession();     var model = session.CurrentModel;     var selOptions = pfcCreate ("pfcSelectionOptions").Create ("point,edge_end,edge_start,csys");     selOptions.MaxNumSels = 1;     pointSel = session.Select(selOptions, void null).item(0);          if (pointSel.SelItem.Type != pfcCreate("pfcModelItemType").ITEM_POINT) {       //??? ★     }     var udfInstructions = pfcCreate("pfcUDFCustomCreateInstructions").Create("box");     

To All,Does anyone know what the config options are that control the default constraint types when assembling components? I have engineers who, when attempting to assemble say a flat washer to a surface, get a normal placement vs. parallel like would be expected. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks in advance,Buddy Hudson

Hello,Recently I wanted to create a connector parameters file for designating any-number-of-pins connectors faster. This is what my .con looks like for a 4pin connector:REF_DESCONNECTOR_4WMODEL_NAME 123456TYPECONNECTORNUM_OF_PINS4ATTACHED_TO_HARNESSTRUEENTRY_PORTBUNDLE_ENTRYROUND0TRUEThis one works as long as my model's name is 123456. But, if I have another 4way connector with a different model name it doen't work. Is there a way to fill the MODEL_NAME automatically based on the part you selected?Thanks in advance.Best Regards!

Hi, I have created a solid part and converted it to sheet metal part. It consists of 4 distinct pieces. I can unbend all of them but how to create the drawings of each flat piece?      best regards Piotr

I want to mill text in steel. The text is 30 "degrees" With the font3d (and all other 3d fonts) it gives a circle. But what I would like to have is a "tube" geometry, with inner and outer diameter. Of course I can add another feature but I would like to have it in the same sketch. See .png attached Enhancement request? Or am I missing something? It's for Creo 2.0 (with 4.0 coming up). Ruben

I have Googled extensively and have not found any references to any drawing symbols for use in specifying sheet metal operations. Creo has the symbols for indicating bend direction and angle, but things like bend relief, forms, puches or dies can only be defined by detailing. Does anyone know if their are standard or even examples of symbols used to indicate things like Relief types (Obround tangent, Square w/ depth, etc)? What about anything other than a note when a stamping operation uses a known form for something like a louver? (I would expect to have to put the part number of the form/die/punch into the symbol)?

I don't do to many drawings, when I do it's painful.   In this case another user built a drawing format that is unusable due to text sizes coming across incorrectly. As you can see when I start a new drawing most of the text comes across at the same size but not exclusively so.  The format for this title block looks fine.  I know for a fact that the text height changes when you begin a drawing based off the drawing format.  What would I need to do to get this under control? 

Hi, When start creo, if there are multiple *.psf file you can select creo desc in dialog. Where can I find the DESC information I selected when starting in Creo?   Thanks,   Warm Regards, SeonHo Cha

Did you know that display of dimensions is improved in Creo 6.0? Starting with Creo Parametric 6.0.0.0, there are new configuration options for displaying dimensions. This improves the visibility of objects that are frequently used in the graphics window. To control the appearance of the background for dimensions use the following new configuration options.... continue reading - https://wp.me/p8enkj-fU     

the situation is in the attached picture. visual c++ is okay, a few things you dont see in the picture has been installed before. you dont see them because they are already installed. but anyway, i cant use the program now. i activated the program using student license and there is no error about activation. can you help me to fix it?

Hello everyone, I am sorry if this post is located in the wrong category. I could not find a specific area to discuss ECAD. I am looking for information regarding Creo vs EBASE (Engineering Base from Aucotect).   I intend to launch an evaluation as the company currently use Ebase and want to create a custom integration with Windchill. The company already use Creo for all the mechanical parts (including assembly). You see the picture. You have the 3D models in Creo with the cubicals and all the connectors, then you use Ebase to create the circuit diagrams and define the BOM for the wires, cabling and crimps.   In preparation for the evaluation, I am trying to gather information in order to ensure I will be asking consultants, super users, IT  the right questions. Does anyone know of a forum to discuss this or have any info?   Thanks Best regards

How can we set the starting point of tool path during milling operation? (In default settings it automatically selects the starting point).

Hello Creo Simulate Community!   I am running a static structural analysis on a block placed into a slot and welded. My area of interest is the weld. I am using a weld feature from the Welding Application. When I look at the results, there are singularities near the weld (reentrant corners). When I try to isolate the edges of the slot for exclusion, all the elements that make up the weld are also excluded. I have tried using the mesh control for a component, but weld features not considered to be a component. Is there a way to control the welds mesh size that I am maybe missing?   Thank you all for your consideration on this question.

I am getting the following error:     Typically when I get this it has a valid instance name and I find duplicates and correct them. Any suggestions on this? (Only two systems, so no Windchill here). Thanks,  Dale

Hi All,   I have a model in which no default coordinate system present. Is there any way to get or create default coordinate system(global coordinate system) using toolkit API?
