Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Trying to wrap text around a toroid (tire) shape. Not conventional text like on a sidewall, but wrapped around as you'd wrap shipping paper around a tire. I've included and image of a similar thing done in SW. Must be a way in Creo, but I'm having to luck with spinal bends or wraps. Appreciate any advice.

Hi,  i am using Creo 3.0 I was using the fill pattern to replicate the feature in the face. its like say a perforation, right now i see that i have to create the hole feature in every face i have to do fill pattern on it, because u have to draw the area of the sketch for fill pattern which can be done in that area alone.    is it possible to do fill pattern on multiple faces, with the feature created in  one face.

Hi everyone and happy new year ... We use curently CREO4 M30 and for another sofware we must upgrade the FlexNet to the last version (2019 R2  11.16.4). My question : Is CREO4 compatible to this version of FlexNet ??? Thanks and have a nice day  

Do you create or modify features in Creo? Now you can speed up your work by taking advantage of feature mini toolbars and dimension toolbars, available in Creo 6.0 and later. You'll find these toolbars for features frequently used with part and sheet metal design. Here's everything you need to know to use them.   To Open  Feature Mini Toolbar in Creo   To reach a feature mini toolbar, simply click in the graphics area of your Creo screen.  A mini toolbar appears providing you with quick access to relevant options for your feature. Right-click in the graphics area to open the mini toolbar AND a shortcut menu.   Image: Feature mini toolbar and shortcut menu Note that in addition to the feature mini toolbar, there are also dimension toolbars that allow you to access some commands/options that were previously available only via the shortcut menu for the dimension.   Bonus: Tabs That Reveal More   If you’re in a newer version of Creo, you’ll see that tabs

I have a assembly with two parts that use a round hole and slot for the bolted joint. I cannot use the fasteners tool due to the slot, how do I model the bolted joint?

Hi, I want to get the version of the Creo Parametric executable that the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT application is connected to and put it into Drawing sheet. Eg: CREO 4.0 M10 or CREO 3.0 M30   Right now i have used ProEngineerReleaseNumericversionGet() function which returned integer value 34 (I am using CREO 4.0 M20).   Is this the only option to get the version ? Is there any other function or method to get the version of creo along with m10 or m20 ?  

Hey everybody,   I have the following problem: I want to substitute a part in a simplified representation with another member of the familiy table. However, due to a lack of programming skills, I am unable to do this.   Currently I have to following code to exclude a feature, given its ID: var simp_rep = solid.GetActiveSimpRep(); var simp_rep_instructions = simp_rep.GetInstructions(); var item_path = pfcCreate ("intseq");item_path.Append(FEAT_ID); //currently I set the feature Id manuallysimp_rep_comp_item_path = pfcCreate("pfcSimpRepCompItemPath").Create(item_path);simp_rep_item = pfcCreate("pfcSimpRepItem").Create(simp_rep_comp_item_path);simp_rep_action = pfcCreate("pfcSimpRepExclude").Create();simp_rep_item.Action = simp_rep_action;simp_rep_instructions.Items.Append(simp_rep_item);simp_rep.SetInstructions(simp_rep_instructions);   Can somebody help me to modifiy this code to substitute a part (e.g. prt0001.prt) with a family table member (e.g. simplified<prt0001.p

I have a drawing where I show two models, the original assembly and a "mirror" assembly. When yellow dot appears, the drawing is regenerated but the yellow dot persists. If the drawing model in then set to the 2nd model, and the drawing is regenerated, then it will switch to the green dot. Then the drawing is set back to the original model.   Is this normal procedure? Why does it not regenerate both models in the drawing? Is there a config setting that I could change so that is will regenerate both (or several).   Thanks, Dale 

Hello All,   I am trying to create annotations in Assembly, by activating a certain part in the assembly. In which I found that Annotations Tab got Disabled when a part is active, can you tell me how to create annotations in this scenario?

Hi, could you please help me with a solution for a mechanism as shown in attached pic? Need to model a rope to pull a mechanism only after a slack side of rope is over. can someone simplify this with modeling details?

How can I perform a thermo - elastic analysis involving the presence of fasteners? 

Hello All,   I am doing some exercises in order to transition from using ANSYS to Simulate. In this exercise I am trying to preform a nonlinear simulation (i.e. large deflection and contacts) on the assembly seen in the figure below. You can see that there is a small gap between the pin and the mounting block. The nonlinear iteration is not converge (It does converge if there is no gap, but that is not reality). Assembly file is attached (Creo 4.0 M090). Any help and suggestions on the setup of the analysis would be welcomed.

Hey guys,   I am setting up several metric drawing formats, and I am either missing something really simple (likely), or there is a blatant error (not likely) in the ASME 14.1M-2005 spec.   For the drawing sheet sizes, the corresponding sheet size values do not add up to the given zone and margin sizes. When you add up the values given, the vertical sheet dimension does not provide enough height to create the number of zones at the stated size.   For example, on the A1 size, the stated vertical dimension is 594 mm. It then states to have 12 zones of 50 mm (should be equal in the horizontal and vertical dimensions), plus the 2 margins of 20 mm, which combine for a total of 640 mm. It does say that the last zone can be a different size to accommodate the sheet size, but if we did 11 zones at 50 mm, we would come up with a total of 590 mm. So do I create a zone that is literally 4 mm wide for my 12th zone?   They provide a Figure 1 that shows what look like an even dis

Seasons Greetings:   I am pretty sure I can NOT put an Item Number (Find Number) in a note. But at the very least I would like to add the "part_number" parameter. In case below that is "MS20995-C32". This should be as easy as:   &asm.mbr.PART-NUMBER MS20995-C32   ----- 1. APPLY SAFETY WIRE FN (99) (MS20995-C32) USING DOUBLE TWIST METHOD PER NASM 33540. -----   ? Does not work. I am missing some simple syntax I am sure. Anyone know?   If Item number is possible that would be great to know as well. But I think that's a dead horse?   Happy New Year All! WayneF Creo 4.0 m020

Can anyone help me with this problem. I can´t open the "Spritzgussanalyse" on my Creo. Is this a licensefault? Thank you.

I'm looking for manual or tutorials for NC Sheetmetal module describing the complete overview of the module.

Hi,   I have a creo parametric toolkit application. I am trying to add some headers like string.h or iostream.h etc. On compiling I get Unresolved externals error.    May i know what could be the reason or where  i am going wrong.   Thanks

Hello everyone! When I try to regenerate my assembly, an exception is thrown: My code: ..... Solid assembly = (Solid)asm; assembly.Regenerate(null); } catch (XToolkitBadContext e) { session.UIShowMessageDialog("Error XToolkitBadContext: " + e, null); } The documentation for the exception says: "This exception is thrown when there is an error of type PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT in a Creo Parametric TOOLKIT function called by PFC." But how to fix this error is not said.Does anyone know the reason?Thanks in advance. Respectfully!

Hello,   I want to make the regeneration of part, by VBAPI. But I don't know of how to do it.   Any help?    

Hello,   I'm trying to make a selection, using the example in instalation folder. I'm connected with the running session in CREO, but I'm unable to make the selection. There is an messagebox appearing the follwing message.   Any help?

Can CREO sheet metal module unRoll the part ?Any hints how to unroll the part shown on picture?

Hi Everyone, I‘m a newcomer in JLink, so I have occurred a lot of problems during developing, but there is a little problem which I have not idea how to fix. This problem is about making customize note with box in drawing, but I cannot make note success in a box with leader. Just see my code following:   public static void setNoteDetail(Session session, Selection sel) throws jxthrowable { Model currentModel = session.GetCurrentModel(); WoodSelection woodSel = new WoodSelection(); Window win = session.GetCurrentWindow(); win.Activate(); if(currentModel.GetType() != ModelType.MDL_DRAWING) { return; } Drawing currentDrawing = (Drawing) currentModel; // font definition DetailText detailText = pfcDetail.DetailText_Create("@[123@]"); DetailTexts detailTexts = DetailTexts.create(); AnnotationTextStyle anotationTextStyle = pfcDetail.AnnotationTextStyle_Create(); anotationTextStyle.SetHeight(3.5); detailText.SetTextStyle(anotationTextStyle); detailTexts

Hi,I´ve issue during modeling when I tried to use external references to make simply extrude operation. I can´t select any non-active parts surfaces, vertex, lines... during active part designing in assembly mode. Im familiar with copy geometry option, but sometime I need to make quick extrude operation using assembly mode part activation.Im using Creo 3.Is there a config option maybe, and if not how to solve this ?In attachment you can found two pictures which help to explain the issue closer.On picture "reference_selection" you can notice one part active and other unactive parts(dimmed). Where I was unable to make any selection for external references (dimmed parts) to make normal extrude cut on active sheetmetal bracket.Thank you

Hi,   Some one please suggest me the methods/steps to write log file in a creo parametric toolkit application.   I tried using PTApplsUnicodeFopen() but when i try to add header file PTApplsUnicodeUtils.h gives unresolved external error.   Please tell me the how to write a log file in creo parametric toolkit application   Thanks
