Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello;      I'm a Solidworks user that has a customer that requires the cgm format for their purposes. Presently I output a dxf, fix scale issues, disappearing arrows, etc., then import the dxf into Creo, fix it again, in a drawing, & then output it to a cgm. We're communicating with a co. that has a translator/converter from pdf's to cgm, which would greatly simplify my process.     At this point when the I.T. department opens the file created through a view express, it looks quite good, but if I open the file in the Creo Parametric which I use to create the files, half the lines etc., are missing. (See Attachment); I use Creo 4.0\M060 parametric cad. Anyone have insight into why it's visible in the viewers but not the actual cad?  The customer uses these files to create their own drawings so I'm thinking they utilize cad of some kind.   Thanks in advance for any input, or other solutions to my objective.

Recently I am studying creo flow，and create two intersecting flow domains，and the domains set as water, the interface set as  Porous Surface，Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hi, is it possible to get an isometric, shaded view with perspective added in a drawing? I can't seem to figure it out if it it's possible. Thanks

Excuse me, guys   How do I know how much time I spend drawing 3d model with creo parametric?   How to set a timer with Creo 3.0?   Thanks a lot!   Have a nice day!

I may be blind but is there a guide on how to silently/remotely install Creo 2?

Hello,  I have a valve plate of an axial piston pump and a plate of piston block. The valve plate performs one revolution.I need to measure time-dependent area over which oil can flow (for one piston bore).   Is there any option to measure this in creo ?    Thank You 

Hi,   I am adding a weight column in EMX BOM, it is not getting the weight values even I refresh (Recalculate option) it.   Please find the attached screenshot.

When we open an assembly with annotations that was created as Creo View file we always see all annotations fromall combined states when we open it.Is there a way to turn off that behavior so that if we open it in Creo View the annotations only show up, if one of the combinedstates will be selected where the annotation was created and not in the "start configuration"

Probably wrong area to post, feel free to relocate it.   At the 2020 Winter Event it was stated there would be unlimited training access for 1K$ per year. And by course option at a rate of 100$ per hour where most courses are expected to be 3 hours. The courses are to be WebEx based with live instructors.   Second item being considered was two certifications, first being Fundamentals, basic commands. The second being Professional, certified in advanced commands and possibly badges in add-ons like sheetmetal. The certs would be for two years and maintained by PTC outside of this community.   Anyone have dates or better info on these two topics.

Hi,   Some one please suggest me c++ toolkit api to get the location of a symbol and also remove symbol from that particular location .   Thanks and regards, Sekar

Hi.  When I'm rendering a model, Creo doesn't seem to be using the GPU at all - only the processor.GPU is an Nvidia Quadro RTX4000 with the latest drivers.   Any ideas?   Thanks

Hello to all in Creo 2.0 I used to select a part or an assembly in my graphic window, and automatically the selected item part number was displayed in the message log i was abble also to select a part and with the select 'parent feature' to select any level above (+1) and the number of this selected sub assembly was always in the message log window easy then to copy/past (ctrl+c  ctrl+v )this number and to made search in Windchill or to put this part number in a excel  etc since Creo 4.0 I can only see the part number of the select item if I use the select parent , the tree is highlighted, yes but the assembly  number doesn't come in the log windows do you have a solution for me please?   thanks   Veronique

How do you update cross hatching from model on an existing view in a drawing besides removing cross section from view and redoing it?  It seems that if I modify the cross hatching on the model it should update in the drawing view.

Dear PTC users,maybe you have an idea how to solve my problem. I am going to develop a synchronous J-Link application in Creo Parametric (but version does not play a role in this case). I just want to compile my project, check if it works, i case of ocurring malfuctions recompile it, checking again, recompiling and so on. but i always have to restart Creo because the new compiled classes are not recognized while running Creo. I also tried to stop and/or unregister my plugin in aux application and restart/reregister it. i also tried to rename my plugin in creotk.dat.Does anyone know a technique to avoid this?In last time i always developed asynchronous apps. there you dont have this problem beacuse you can connect and disconnect to/from session each time.

Hello,    I'm trying to create a method that can group any number of UDFGroups in a part. What i have below can find the correct UDFGroups, but once the .Append(feature) is run it returns an error. Have i thought about this the wrong way?    featureType: a string that specifies the wanted UDFgroup name. nrOf: an int that specifies how many of the instances that should be appended.     public static void CreateGroup(string featureType, int nrOf) { IpfcFeatures selectedFeatures = null; IpfcFeatures features; features = componentModel.ListFeaturesByType(true,EpfcFeatureType.EpfcFEATTYPE_GROUP_HEAD); //For each point for (int i = 0; i <= nrOf; i++) { //Search in features foreach (IpfcFeature feature in features) { if (feature.Group.GroupName == $"{featureType}{i}".ToUpper()) { selectedFeatures.Append(feature); //<--- Error here break; } } } componentModel.CreateLocalGroup((CpfcFeatures)selectedFeatures, $"{CatiaTreeModel.pointSet}"); }

Hello,   i'm trying to export the model on the left as an stl. However, parts of the model are disappearing. What would cause such behaviour? Kind regards

This "Keyboard Shortcut Conflict" pop-up in Creo 4 makes me want to throw things.  I checked and I wasn't able to find any way to get rid of this stupid $#&*^.  Any ideas?

I know how to put variable text in a symbol. That is not exactly what I’m looking for. So far, I have not been able to figure out how to drive those variable text fields with an attribute. Is that possible in Creo5?

hi,   I want to copy/move a table created in one sheet to another sheet. Is there any c++ toolkit api which will do this ?   Thanks and regards, Sekar

I'm using Creo parametric 4.0 M100. For the past 2 weeks, the creo keeps going into 'not responding' state constantly and then it shows 'Regained Floating license. you can resume working'. This cycle is repeated for every 2 minutes. Its impossible to work like this.    What's causing this & how we can fix this.

Hi All,  I am working on Creo 5.0.1.0 . I have observed that the API  pfcSelection:: SetPoint()  is giving wrong results, Can anyone explain this behavior??

Does Creo Schematic (or any plugin product to it) create color coded plugs automatically like Solidworks? What I mean is the wire coming in shows on the view of the plug.   Here is an example: I have a client that is considering switching to Creo Schematic which would help me out a lot.... But this is the one feature I can't seem to replicate in Creo.

I've used one of my fave features, the Spinal Bend, many times over the years.  I prefer using them on quilts because then it's easier to have multiple Spinal Bends in a model.  THIS time I ran into a VERY weird problem.  The spinal bend failed on the surface, but yet worked fine with the solid.  What the????? Any ideas? PTC guys, what do you think?

Hello, I have been demoing the otk java examples and decided to create my own project.My custom action listener class is working fine within the otkexamples project.Now that I created my own project, I am having issues in my main class. I practically copied and pasted the structure of otkExamplesmain.java but removed all the example methods. The exception is throwing when trying to get the current session on launch when setting up the ribbon commands. I must have missed something when setting up my project but cannot figure out what that is.Exception caught: java.lang.NullPointerExceptioncom.ptc.cipjava.CIPRemoteApp.getTransport(CIPRemoteApp.java:40) private void SetupRibbonCommands() {try{ System.out.println("Get Session"); session = pfcSession.GetCurrentSession(); wSession = (WSession)session; wSession.RibbonDefinitionfileLoad(ribbonFile); //startCreoson(); addAbasCommands();}

Hello,   Does anyone have a copy of PTC License Server Release Wildfire 3.0 Datecode M120 they can share?  That was the PTC licensing software used on my old laptop to share my Creo 2.0 license with my workstation.  I am upgrading from Creo 2.0 to Creo 3.0 M040 and need to move my license server to a new Laptop, but I don't have the installation file for PTC License Server Release Wildfire 3.0 Datecode M120.  I believe that is the most stable license server for single seat licenses.   -Paul
