Hi,from time to time there is the question on how to add a second nut in IFX. Well, by default this is not possible. But you can use the following workaround.Update 2026 May: We have a new enhancement for Intelligent Fastener. A third washers and a second nut is now available Follow the links for more detail: Additional Washer and Nut for IFX Additional Washer and Nut for IFX - Tips & Tricks Availability Creo Parametric 13.0 – IFX 13.4.0.0 Creo Parametric 12.4 – IFX 12.4.4.0 Creo Parametric 11.0 – IFX 11.0.9.0 Creo Parametric 10.0 – IFX 10.0.11.0 WorkaroundI will explain it by using the IFX nut ISO4032-6. Copy the file ISO4032-6.dat and rename it to ISO4032-6_as_washer.dat. Open the file and change NUTTYPE 1 to WASHERTYPE 21 Change the  columns in the file like shown in the image Finally the file should look like this Add a new icon for you new nut. Size should be 32x16 pixel. Now add this new nut to your catalog. I have added it to the mm catalog to a new group 'second_nut

Creo Parametric 2.0   I am trying to reuse the explode states I defined in my sub assemblies when exploding the top level assy.  I thought there was a way to do so, but I can't remember how or I'm mistaken.  I may be thinking of style states.  A year away from Creo has taken its toll on my memory of some functions.   Thanks.   (Interestingly, when searching I discovered that I had asked this before, almost 10 years ago, evidently with no response. That or the response was lost in one of the great community migrations of old. 😁)

Creo Parametric does not allow you to save an .idx file from an assembly that is in a simplified representation. This would be a helpful add-on in the future.

Dear AllI'm looking for a method to make two parts move symmetrically . I know it's possible to do it in SOLIDWORKS but I don't find the way to do it with CREO.Many thanks for your helpO.Pavot 

Hi, I would like to export automatically generated rigid bodies from CREO Mechanism.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 3.0 and DatecodeF000 We need creo 3.0 Setup , because our machine support creo 3 only, kindly give setup file for creo3.0

Hi everyone,I am looking for an API for "copy geometry" command and "intersect" command in toolkit.If its there can you help me with that.

After updating to Creo 12, we noticed that the behavior of the Curve Tweak function has changed compared to Creo 11. Is there any configuration, setting, or option that would allow us to restore the previous behavior from Creo 11?”

Has anybody managed some sort of shortcut/mapkey for this yet? I'm taking about quickly opening a drawing of same name when the model is on screen, the way you can open a model by right clicking in the drawings model tree . .

Hallo,When I found a product code for license identification?

Hi @OliverGräbner I would like to create a fastener library compatible with the IFX module.First, I am trying to link an existing family table with the keyword FAMTABLE.To do this, I have created a .dat file, as shown belowSCREWTYPE 1UNIT MMSURFACE 49AXIS 82CBSCR DIN974-1 R1INFO <Screw_test>!Enter the name of the Family Table Part!---------------------------------------FAMPRT VIS_CHC_INOX_JYSYMBOL STRING DN LG B S DK K DG PINSTANCE STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P#FAMTAB M<DN> d4 d6 d15 d17 d5 d7 d16 @pas My family table contains several instances using an item code for each instance.When I launch IFX, the thread box remains empty and I cannot choose a screw size.I also get the following error message:No valid data foundDN Vis_chc_inox_jy.datI think I have a problem with the STRING box in my .dat file.I tried with a family table with two instances and simpler file names, but nothing changed.I looked at all the posts, but none of them answered my question.Could you

Hello,I am looking for help with an issue involving sheet metal flat patterns, Creo Parametric, and Creo View.I am using Creo Parametric 10 and Creo View 12. When I create a flat pattern of a sheet metal part in Creo Parametric, the automatically generated bounding box overall length and width dimension annotations display correctly in Creo Parametric.However, when I open the corresponding file in Creo View, those automatically generated flat pattern bounding box dimensions do not appear in the Creo View viewable state.One thing I have noticed is that if I create manual dimensions in Creo Parametric, those manual dimensions do come through and display in Creo View correctly. The issue seems to be specific to the automatically generated dimensions created during flat pattern creation.Has anyone else seen this behavior with automatically generated flat pattern bounding box dimensions not publishing or displaying in Creo View? Are there any settings, publishing options, annotation display

Hi Team,Looking for suggestions. We have limited Creo Parametric licenses (PROE_DesignAdvP T3 and PROE_DesignAdv T2). Is it possible to control license selection via the Creo launch .bat file so it checks FlexNet availability and automatically switches to the next available license if the preferred one is fully consumed?I’ve tried using lmutil lmstat in the batch file to check license usage. it checks the license count then close the launcher bat. i tried different codes but it is still bypassing the license count check. Please advise if this approach is supported or if there’s a recommended method.I included this block in my bat file.!--scriptorstartfragment-->SET LMUTIL="C:\ptc\Creo 10.0.8.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\obj\lmutil.exe"SET LICENSE_SERVER=7788@license01.au.lmco.com "%LMUTIL%" lmstat -f PROE_DesignAdv -c %LICENSE_SERVER% > "%TEMP%\lmstat_pro.txt" 2>&1 FINDSTR /I /C:"Licensed number of users already reached" "%TEMP%\lmstat_pro.txt" >nul ^&& (    ECHO -

By default, the UN Hole Sizes in Creo 10 go up to 1½ - 6.  We deal with larger holes quite often.  How can this be changed so that UN Hole Size options are available up to 2 ½?Thank you! 

Hi everyone,I am facing a problem to override the dimension value, I have created an dimension using ProDrawingDimensionCreate().And now I want to edit that dimension value through toolkit itself, manually we do it with using an option in drawing window called “override value of dimension”.But I am unable to do it with toolkit using API.Can anyone please help me by providing the solution.

Please, does anybody have an idea how to output the “strain energy per unit area” to report file for all of calculated prestressed modal modes? Or another way how to see the one area integrated number of N/mm separately for all of modal modes?Thx for support

Weld symbol for ISO standard in Creo 12.4 is supporting ISO2553:1984, acc to PTC Help and the PTC articles CS465068 & CS303110.This creates huge problems for companies that must be certified against ISO 3834-2. Which is applicable for example for companies with in the nuclear power industry. This companies are now forced to either create new custom symbols, (Which is quite complicated) or to make “fake” the symbols on the drawing adding lines and text manually.I suggest that the weld ISO weld symbols are updated acc. to latest ISO 2553 standard, that would be the one from 2019, Edition 5.

Creo has neat functionality in the restricted parameter list.  Creo also has nice functionality in that you can import an .xml file to add parameters to a Model.  It would appear that these two do not play well together. I am trying to update legacy models that have missing parameters and my .xml import was working wonderfully until I updated my restricted parameter.lst file.   I get this message:   Is there any way to make the import work?  Is it a matter of my restrictions in my .lst not EXACTLY matching what I have in the .xml?

Hello, I have random lines on my part and don't know how to hide them. These lines are the exact ones that show when saving an STL file. Does someone know how I can get rid of them?

Greetings, Looking for ideas on how to report sum length of cable spool based on custom length per spool segment used in cable harness.example:spool A - length=L1, custom_length (driven from relation) =CL1, spool used N1 times in harness.total length of spool A =?the problem i have is that I can’t make any relation as there is no way to use rep.qty for cable spools in a harness.summation function is also not very flexable. I would prefer if it was function then I could create a relation with If (example: if spool a name==A sum).Is there another simpler way to solve it? Practically best solution I found is to generate the table  > export to CSV > make simple excel relation.

I am the IT guy , not a user of CREO. For no apparent reason, our company has stayed on Creo 6 for a long time and it is beginning to cause some issues. The download isnt even on the site directly. Seems to be lack of support for newer PCs, etc. I only anticipate more problems.  Question is: How much trouble is it going to be to upgrade to 12 from 6 in terms of people learning the new software and problems opening files? Can the 2 co-exist on a PC in case there were a problem. 

HiI am on Creo 10.0.9.0As detailed in the picture below, as I increase the value of the Transparency, opacity increases. Shouldn't it be named to Fill Opacity instead of Fill Transparency?Hope I am not missing anything.

Hello,I want to use Creo for simulations, but I can't access the simulation interface.The button under Application > Simulate is grayed out. The Flow and Mold Analysis buttons are both in color, even though I don’t have a license for Flow Analysis and can’t access the Flow environment.Is this due to the graphics card’s RAM, which is sufficient but not recommended or because the A400 isn't supported?Thank in advance The Hardware Check reports:Your hardware is not qualified for Creo Simulation LiveYour graphic card (GPU) is a supported NVIDIA CUDA based card. However GPU does not have enough video RAM to optimally support Creo Simulation Live.Creo Simulation Live relies on the latest graphics processing unit technology to provide its computation and visual experience and requires the following:A dedicated NVIDIA graphics processing unit card (Quadro recommended) based on the Kepler, Maxwell, or Pascal architecture. Most dedicated NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit cards produced in 2013
