Creo+ and Creo Parametric

CREO 6 STEP file export options - CSYS user defined FAILED Jumping from CREO3 to CREO6, we lost the ability to export STEP with a user defined CSYS. Sure we had seen the thread of, 'CREO 4.0 STEP file export options' and check box the Customized Export. Once OK is clicked, the pop-up window does appear with the Coordinate System selection all GRAYED OUT. Thus, there is no possible way to choose a user defined CSYS from the file.   Tried looking at the FILE > DATA EXCHANGE > EXPORT PROFILES > STEP > SETUP EXPORT PROFILES and nothing was found of value to toggle or activate this option. Our engineering team is very stumped by this. It's stopped all data translation into the Metrology department and the Simulation group on ANSYS and HYPERMESH. Also, each of our customers have odd defined origins related to their vehicle setups from OE thru the Tier-1, -2, -3 levels. We cannot share data now.   In other words, we are sort of dead in the water at the moment with this.

hi,in WF4 we had a provision of hiding annotations using layers (when we needed specific annotations to be desplayed, others could have be added on to a new layer and the layer could have been hidden).Now in creo when i try to do the same i'm unable to hide annotation in layers.Is there any way to do the same in creo.....

Question: Is it possible to make a single drawing format that can dynamically change size, imperial or metric standard, projection angle, title block configuration, etc by making selections in a "drawing format configuration" dialog box?   Challange: Our company has over 250 different managed drawing formats which cover standard sheet sizes for imperial and metric, as well as 1st and 3rd angle projection. In addition to the standard drawing sizes, we also have double-wide, triple-wide, etc. Our assemblies are typically round and long. Finally, our title block is different for Part drawings and Assembly drawings.   Major Pain Point: Making updates to our drawing formats is a nightmare because all drawing formats have to be modified to reflect the new change(s).    

Hi, I was trying to add a belt mechanism in creo. But I cannot seem to select references for the pulley. Please help. I cannot select any surface or edge for the references. I have also tried selecting a belt plane. Please help!

I cannot figure out why flat to screen notes created in Creo Parametric are not showing on the corresponding viewable in Creo View. Measures and tolerances and notes that is attached to geometry, are showing fine just as they where created as combined views in Creo Parametric. Is there any specific setting I miss? I'm using Creo Parametric 4.0

Hello,   IFX catalogs and fastener data is unable to download to the local users machine from windchill.  We are running windows 10.  I am the admin and all the .dat files uploaded to Windchill are from my computer.  I have not trouble downloading if I run CREO in administrator mode.  But other users only get as far as Windchill writing the ifx_catalog folder and ifx_fastener_data folders.  The files from windchill are not able to be written to the local computer.   Any tips on how to get this to work?

By adding the new options into the config.sup you can lock the  chosen severity level.The below image shows the result of adding the following two items to the config.sup:nmgr_failed warningnmgr_reference_changed error

I am trying to open external files like from sharepoint or other drive using OS Script. I could do open file from my local drive but not from sharepoint or other drives etc. Anyone resolved this

Hello!   Simple question. I have a series of coordinates inside a vector in Mathcad. I would like to import this into Creo to create a curve that can pass through them. Any ideas?

Hi All,    I need to create a pattern like this...      I've built it about 10 differnt ways, but it seems to always fail on the inflection point here   I'm sure it something to do with normals being flipped for the curve as it goes over the apex. (start points on curve flipping from botttom to top - if you copy and paste the middle curve from the first group in the patter and conpare the direction start point to one from a failed group you can see what I'm talking about )     basically what I've done is create a spline, place a point at a real distance of say 5mm from start, another at 10mm and another at 15mm. (I tried patterning this 3 times to get 3 points at 5, 10 and 15 for construction but then Creo was complaining about patterning that)     I then constcted 3 curves that were normal to the spline and through each point   then a new sketch over that to add rounds   then I pattern that construction and

I am using CREO 3.0 M090.   Is it possible to exlude, suppress or remove Assembly features (cuts) in a Simp Rep?   I would like to make several Assembly cuts in a panel (CUT-1. CUT-2, CUT-AA, CUT-BB) and then create two simp Reps.   One Simp Rep that shows CUT--1, CUT-2 only and a second Simp Rep that shows CUT-AA and CUT-BB only.   Keep in mind that all of the Assembly cuts are appplied to the same panel.prt.   Thanks.

Hey, I'm trying to find a way to keep a reference dimensions looking like (3.20) instead of (3.20    ) when I use dual dimensions. The only fix I've found so far is to manually override the dimension, but that's a pretty terrible solution. There should exist a way to prevent this formatting error through the software setting. Photo attached below to show what I'm talking about. Any advice on this is welcome! Thanks! 

Goodmorning everyone, I have to create a sheetmetal table in which the parameter K varies with the thickness variation. Below the thicknesses, the internal radius and the K factor:   sp. R int.  K 08/10 0,8 0,27 10/10 0,8 0,22 12/10 0,8 0,18 15/10 0,8 0,15 20/10 0,8 0,115 30/10 0,8 0,07   How can I do?   Thank you, Matteo.

Hi,   I could not get any toolkit api to add an image into drawing. So I am trying to add a symbol instead of drawing. Is there any toolkit api to do this ? will ProSymbolDesignate() help ?   Thanks      

I would like to save a model with the datums hidden and check the model back into Windchill.  However, just hiding the datums doesn't make the model change and therefore I can't check the model back into Windchill.  I can I accomplish this without making any other changes to the model?

I am struggling to understand why my assembly is displaying negative values of IXY and IXZ my IXX is correct with a positive value. The negative IXY and IXY seem to be correct but negative which is impossible?

I have a assembly file, i want to change it's default coordinate system's position so when i import it into another assembly it can automatically line up by using place it "In defualt".   i tried build a sys, it it still use old sys to position it.

I have a assembly that has 500 parts. when i open the top level, and trun on "Csys display", it shows every other part's doordinates system and i cannot see my parts because the coordinates are all over the place.   Is there any way to only show top level assembly, not all sub-level?

How do you measure the distance from the center of the hole? Or how do you grab a point in the center of the hole? I am talking about when you are working in the modeling mode. In other CAD systems you can just activate MEASURE tool. Hover over the hole and then at some point you can select either the hole contour or a point in the center (or by pressing the hot keys). How do you do that in Creo? I couldn't find the answer or figure it out intuitively.  

Hi everyone, I'm working in some lattices, normally I work with simplified geometry, for testing and visualization, and when everything is okey, I go back to lattice command, and turn from simplified to FULL GEOMETRY, I perform the lattice, but then the error occurs, any idea of what's happening?? why in simplified works and in full not.   Regards,   Sergi

Hello everyone! Many say that the C++ Toolkit is a more advanced tool than Java OTK.I wanted to know if this is true?And if so, how far is the JOTK behind the C++ Toolkit?And is there a future for JOTK, that is, can it become as powerful a tool as the C++ Toolkit or even more powerful? Respectfully!
