Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello everyone!   I am trying to suppress an feature in a part using Java OTK.I walked in two ways.First:   Solid currSolid = (Solid)currModel; Features allFeats = currSolid.ListFeaturesByType(true, FeatureType.FEATTYPE_CURVE); session.UIShowMessageDialog(allFeats.get(0).GetName(), null); SuppressOperation so = allFeats.get(0).CreateSuppressOp(); so.SetClip(true); FeatureOperations fo = FeatureOperations.create(); fo.insert(0, so); pfcGlobal.GetProESession().SetConfigOption("regen_failure_handling", "resolve_mode"); currSolid.ExecuteFeatureOps(fo, null); } catch (XToolkitNotValid e) { session.UIShowMessageDialog("Error XToolkitNotValid: " + e, null); } catch (XToolkitSuppressedParents e) { session.UIShowMessageDialog("Error XToolkitSuppressedParents: " + e, null); } catch (XToolkitBadContext e) { session.UIShowMessageDialog("Error XToolkitBadContext: " + e, null);   The following messages appear in the lower left corner of Creo: WARNING: Unattached CUT was d

Hello everyone!   I created a pattern using OTK Java and FET. Now I need to exclude some of the elements of the pattern (just as is done with Creo).Please tell me how to do this.Thanks in advance.   Respectfully!

All, When you create a section view the word SECTION is a different text height than the name A-A as seen in the image. The word SECTION is controlled in the .dtl by text_height while the label A-A is controlled by def_view_text_height.      ASME Y14.2_2012 shows the word SECTION and A-A as the same hieght. Currently the only way to achieve this without changing the rest of the text hieght on the drawing is to use a mapkey and invidually change each location on the drawing. A-A needs to be larger than the rest of the text on the drawing.   Does anyone have another workaround or know if this is fixed in Creo 4 or Creo 5?   Thank you, Lance

I was able to add suffix to all parts using "set new name" in windchill. I've attached screenshots below. My question is how would I go about if i had to remove the new suffix from the name and go back to only the base number?   Thanks  

Hi All,   I am working on a creo 5.0.1.0 creo parametric. I have created some annotations like Gtol, dimensions etc. How can I get the bounding box(Envelope) of that annotation using toolkit API's? Thanks in advance.  

I'm creating a second question  because I cant seem to get any responses on my first question relative to getting my Drawing BOM to display simplified rep info correctly.   Is there a way to pass the simplified rep NAME to a parameter such as PART NUMBER, and have that information displayed in a BOM rather than the actual file name of the Master Rep?

Hello Creo experts... I was hoping to reach out for some detailing help. I have a part where several holes on different BC's need to be shown on an offset section view. If I do a offset section with only 2 lines, the view is fine but as soon as I 'jog' the section to go thru more holes, my offset section Full(Aligned) has geometry that is impossible to be erased. I have attached 2 images. 1 showing that if I have a relatively simple offset the section view is fine but as soon as I try to offset thru other features, the section view has extra geometry showing in the bore that I cant erase 😞

I encountered this message (attached) that informs me I cannot add or remove references in the sketch and the reason is this feature has many dependents. This is the first time I see this. I used to be in control of my design intent by redefining and rerouting my features any time and resolve any subsequent failures. Have anyone seen this? Thanks.

Hello,   Does anyone know how to change the size of icons in the ribbon of Creo 4.0?     Thanks,   Bill

The Thermal PC board tutorial does not work for Creo 4.0... the temperature value just increases forever.   The assembly used: thermal_pc.asm The changes made: - added heat flow of 150 mW to respective feature - added convection condition to all fin surfaces with conv coef = .075 [mW/(mm^2*C)] and bulk temp = 20 [C]  

Does anyone know a way to add a suffix to all parts and sub-assemblies within a top level assembly, without breaking anything?Thanks

I have a harness assembly that has fully constrained parts (designed in the flat state, not using MFG), but i am going to spin this off to put in an assy.   So i want to go in to each componenet and delete the assy constraints.  as soon as i do that component snaps to the origin of the assy instead of being left alone in space where i deleted its original constraints.  It's been happening for years and I cant figure out why.   I will eventually fix their locations, but why is this happening?   Why cant you remove assy constraints leaving it packaged without it moving and flipping to default?     Using Creo 3 M080

I need to draw a surface like this:   And i can't find a proper way of how to do it. Any help?   Meanwhile, I did post a Idea.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Surface-desing-smooth-radius-corner/idc-p/643498#M12936

Can you control a table and balloon items which can be fixed the same number every time you do a new assembly drawing? E.G part number 001212-08 will always be item 314 in the table and the balloon item and then show the same with QTY underneath.

This morning while booting up Creo 4.0 M060 I had this error pop-up     Any thoughts as to what might be causing this? Thanks, Dale

Creo 2.0- When I open a local copy of an old assembly, there are missing merged parts that cause a warning "Reference model ### is not in session.  Please select it." along with a pop-up window to select the missing .prt.  I am using the assembly for analysis only and don't need the base parts so I end up selecting Cancel on a whole bunch of these base parts.  Is there a way to disable this pop-up?   Thanks, Matt

I have an assembly with a number of instances The assembly consist of several parts with instances as well. That is the good structure to create and control the model shapes and coordinates systems, which are really funny. But, I also want to produce an output of each assembly instance (step file or equivalent, with hierarchy) where most of the tree were merged. This is because the model tree is too complex and the final user of the model should only see 2 or 3 parts which are representative. It is actually only one subassembly what I want to show as a merged solid. Can I have somehow that "simplified tree" model in creo to keep it associated to the design models? Any idea is welcome

Users,Creo 2 embeds sketches under the feature like SolidWorks does. This is one of the most annoying things about SolidWorks. I assume there is a setting that allows you to change it to leave the sketch in the model tree as it was constructed based on history, and allows it to access the sketch like a shortcut on a drop down under the feature that uses it. Can someone share where this is?Thank youRyan Crisp | Senior Mechanical EngineerPriority Designs501 Morrison Rd.Columbus, OH 43230(614) 337-9979www.prioritydesigns.com

I have a top level assembly with multiple simplified reps defined, which create -001, -003, and -005 subassemblies. I did this because I didn't want to create separate files for the -001, -003, and -005 assemblies because they each use a lot of the same files. So I have reused files in the -001 assembly and I turn them on and off to create the reps for the -003 and -005. Some of the subassemblies also have -001, -003, and -005 simplified reps which correspond to the top level -001, -003, and -005 assembly. However, the only items that will appear in the repeat regions are the main reps for the lower level assemblies. I know how to set model reps and column model reps for repeat regions. What I am trying to do is set a rep for an item in the repeat region itself. Is this possible?   I have played around with making the entire repeat region recursive and then setting individual items to flat. This has gotten me close, but I now need to set a specific item to a simplified rep for tha

So I have a drawing with many simplified rep views. Can't do a normal BOM since I can't show balloons in different simpreps. I look around and there's this tip that you can get around this by using component parameters instead. I try it and it works. I still need to have one BOM for every simprep, though, which means my drawing now has five BOMs. I can hide them, but it's quite clumsy.   I realize, though, that I should be able to do it with balloon notes and the text &FINDNUMBER:att_cmp. I try it out and it works! I realize quickly that it doesn't work with sybols, which is a shame, but still, it's pretty convenient.   But now I try it on some more components and it dawns on me that the :att_cmp tag only works for parts; not for assemlies. It's terribly annoying and rather makes the whole :att_cmp useless, it seems to me. I'm guessing it's just how it is and nobody is going to do anything about it, but I wanted to make a post just in case anyone has a workaround. Or just

Let's say I have this generic_part.prt with three different instance: 1. generic_part1-a 2. generic_part2-a 3. generic_part3-a   "-a" suffix indicates revision name.   Then I create drawing which have the same name with each instance. for example "generic_part1-a.drw" for the instance "generic_part1-a.prt".   Sometimes, I did a mistake when using an instance in a different drawing name. All I want is a counter to cross check whether the drawing name has the same name with the instance or not. I have tried any methods, but no success.   Can you show me how to solve this problem? Any help will greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,   I am creating a buttun using CREO parametric toolkit application. I am using the following functions -ProCmdActionAdd()  ProCmdIconSet() ProCmdDesignate() -  all of them returns no error. But the image is not reflecting in creo parametric tool. .png file is in the resource folder ie, <applicationfolder>/text/resource.   some one please suggest me what could have gone wrong .   Thanks  

hello. the image is not imported correctly into the project . I attach screenshots. the imported image is stretched and curved. What could be the problem?

When i use copy geometry, i get 3 different choices for updating the feature when regenerating. Automatic, manual or to just make the copy independent. If i set it to be "indepentent", the coped geometry will offcourse not update, and you can´t see the connection using reference viewer or in PDM link. ( thats seems logic to me) . The connection is still there since you can set it to automatic again, but creo will not show it. If i set it to be "manual" , the copied geometry will not update since it´s supposed to be done manual. If i go for "edit definition" on the copy feature , change nothing and then click ok, the geometry will not update either. If i regenerate i will not update. So to make it update, i have to set the feature to be automatic and then regenerate, and then put it back to manual (if thats what i want) . The nice thing about "manual" is that i can still see the connection in ref viewer , but i have control of when the geometry should update. So, my 2 questions are : *

Hi,  I want to import an image (.bmp or .png ) into drawing sheet through CREO parametric toolkit application. I am using Pro2dImportMdlnameCreate() which seems not to be helpful.  Is there any other alternative? some one please suggest.   Thanks and regards,
