Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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!

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
