Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I need guidance to pass the appropriate orientation to the CombState using OTK Java (for Creo 5)   I am importing, manipulating, and saving files from our CoCreate software to Creo Parametric. The final step of manipulating these files is to change the listed Views to Combined States. I was originally attempting to retrieve the desired view before creating a combined state, but that obviously did not work.   When creating a combined state manually, holding my mouse over the state name displays the Orient field:  "Orient: Original_View_Front". However, when creating it in java, it appears as: "Orient: Most Recently Used".   I create the CombState by using the three ModelItems 'DEFAULT REP', 'DEFAULT STYLE', and 'DEFAULT EXPLODED' (just because they were the ones selected when I created a state manually).   What is the best method to pass the orientation data through to a combined state?

Bonjour,   je travaille avec CREO4.0 M100. Je souhaite exporter des .drw en .dxf avec PorBatch. J'ai mis dans mon config.pro le la version AutoCad 2013 pour l'export car je suis en version 2016 pour AutoCad.   Sauf que quand je lance un export de .drw en .dxf avec ProBatch, il me le fait avec la version 2018 et du coup, je ne peux pas ouvrir mes .dxf.   Comment puis-je configurer le ProBatch pour qu'il exporte en AutoCad 2013 ?    Merci pour l'aide que vous pourrez m'apporter.

Using Creo 4.0 (no Windchill)   I find that if I have the drawings open for (4) parts: A.drw, B.drw, C.drw, & D.drw and that these for parts are contained as instances in a family table of Generic - ABCD.prt, that when I verify the family table (and I get "Success" on all for instances A, B, C, & D) that when I go to any of the drawings, I need to regenerate the drawing to get rid of the little yellow dot.   If I just verified the family table, why is the model in the drawing wanting to be regenerated? I am not doing this in the proper order in order? Sometime I regenerate the instance and save the drawing is says that the other instances have not been regenerated.

Hello,   I am currently trying to run a static simulation inside Creo Simulate, but it fails to run with no indication as to why (See image). I am unsure about how to go about debugging the simulation (i.e. locations and names of error files). Any assistance would be welcomed. PS I am normally an ANSYS user.

Is CP4 compliant to ASME Y14.6 regarding the display of cosmetic threads ("simplified representation of threads")? See attached. A co-worker is really annoyed that the edges of the cosmetic thread's cylinder are displayed on drawings.  There's no geometry there that would require a line in a drawing otherwise. We referred to ASME Y14.6 for guidance.  Their drafters played a little fast-and-loose, so it wasn't helpful (who designs a chamfer or counter-sink to end exactly at the major/minor diameters, anyhow?). We messed around a little with drawings options to try to keep the hidden line representing the minor diameter, but eliminate the edges of the cylinder.  In other words, we want only the silhouette of the cylinder surface to be visible, not the projections of the circular edges. Short of erasing those edges or doing other silly things, we couldn't figure it out. This wasn't helpful, either; it applies to sections, but the techniques aren't working for "no sec

i have created a drawing file(drw_1) and made copy of the file(drw_2) in same folder if i delete any of the dimesion or view in the copied file(ie., drw_2) creo automatically deletes the same in the source file(drw_1) is there any solution for this issue if so let me know that.

Hi ,   I have written the code to create a table in a drawing and add text in the table cells. the API's I am using to add text are : ProDwgtableTextEnter(table, colnum, rownum, text);ProDwgtableCelltextWrap(table, rownum, colnum);   The issue I am facing is that the font of the text which is added to the table remains same. is there any way I can change the font size and thickness of the text ?   Thanks and regards, Sekar

Hi,   I get fatal error while launching CREO.  I have attached the screen grab below. It runs fine when i 1st run my Auxiliary application. But when i close CREO and launch it again, i get this fatal Error. Some one please help me with this.      

Hello!   I'm having some issues with a note using sub and superscript, where the note cuts of the last 2 words of two sentaces.   The sentances are as followed:   {31:4) }{32:@+Make sure there is about 0.1 mm play between part 1 and the bracket it mounts to. @#}@-Eventual protruding ring on the opposite part shall be filed away. @#   In this case, it removes the "mounts to." part of the sentence.   Has anyone sumbled upon a similiar issue? Should this be reported to PTC as a bug?   I'm running Creo 4.   BR Jesper

Hi forum,   how can I rotate a view about one of the three axes X/Y/Z?   Note that I don't want to "transform" a part.   I just want to rotate the entire view, as you normally do using the middle mouse button.

I'm using the CREO 3.0 M140 and this error is recurring. Could anyone help me? I'm sending the error log for analysis.thank you

Hi,   I have a harness that contains 23 wires. The harness is approximately 6m long. It is initially bundled in two bundles, coming from two connectors, after about 1m it must transition to a "flat" bundle where they are routed together. This should follow a specific curve and at one point be coiled 4 turns before continuing flat. It then transitions to 23 tabs/connectors.   Round bundling between two Locations is ok, but is it possible to have a flat bundle or route? I guess that the first wire can be routed along locations on my predefined curve, but how to I ensure that the remaining 22 wires follow the "flat" path that I want?   Thanks

Hi,sometimes I need to convert a regular "prt model" in a Skeleton type model.Just not to lose all geometries and links I use this procedure (CREO2 ) :1 - Open assembly which contains the regular part that should be used as a skeleton part (name "PART2SKEL.PRT") .2 - In assembly Sel. Model / Create and I define a new skeleton type model ( named "TEMP_SKEL.PRT") using the option 'copy from existing' and choosing "PART2SKEL.PRT" as reference part in order to have all geometries already done.3 - I save the single part "TEMP_SKEL.PRT" to disk.4 - I close the assembly without saving and I erase everything from memory.5 - On the disk I rename the "TEMP_SKEL.PRT" to "PART2SKEL.PRT".6 - Open again the the assembly. The original part is replaced by the new skeleton art. 7 - In the model tree I can see the original part as skeleton with specific correct icon for skeleton (transparent).If necessary I can move the part on top of model tree.It works !Now the question :In Windchill (10.1) if I perfo

Hello everyone!   When creating a section, some restrictions automatically appear in it (such as equality, parallelism, coincidence).One of these automatic restrictions prevents my section from becoming whole.Can I somehow create restrictions programmatically that I need and delete that are not needed?   Best Regards!

Hi, I have a problem about the autogem control for mesh. For a big assembly, I prefer to make the AutoGem control at part level, then I just need to mesh at top assembly level,but don't need to control the mesh type and property it in top level assembly. But seem I cannot use the part level autogem control when I open the top level assembly. there is a warning tab at beside the mesh control type. Please teach me how to deal with it. The element type I used is Native element.    

Dear Colleges. Anyone know a way to have ModelCHECK automatically at check in? Windchill: 11.0 M030-CPS15 Creo: 4.0 M080 This is what I believe the OOB options are: Options: Interactive Mode File/Prepare, ModelCHECK Regenerate Mode Automatically runs every time you regenerate the model. Problems are found immediately. Save Mode Runs on save operation Batch Mode Runs outside of Creo

Hi   We have a layout into dialog and through code, we are adding labels and input panel into layout.   What we need is to fix the size of dialog. For example, it should show only 5 labels and if additional labels are added, it must have scrollbar rather than expanding size of layout and dialog.   How to achieve the same? We are using toolkit and Creo version is 4.0 M030.   Regards Ketan

Hi, I am creating UI through resource file (.res), in this i have many input panels in one sub-layout (40 parameters). So if i create its UI it goes out of screen. It also have almost 10 column so i can not divide 40 parameters in another column it should be in one column only.    So want to know is there any option that i can give scroll down option for layout? or want to know any another idea or workaround.     Regards, Prashant Pandarkar

Hi   We can set default location of models to be checked-in through toolkit API. Additionally, we can set location of files to be checked in for few specific files using toolkit API.   Can we get the idea of at what location new file by default would be checked in? Actually I am not setting any option for check-in and performing Auto Check-In using toolkit API. So, for report preparation; i need to know where files got checked in (default location) through API.   Thanks and Regards Ketan

Anyone know why I get these warnings when I open assembly? It's not a one time occurrence. Creo 4.0 M020 WayneF

How can I change parameter value with excel? I connected excel with ProE using Proe4.0 VB API and now I am trying to update parameter value with value from excel cell... thx in advance

Having installed PTC Wildfire 4.0 on a laptop (Windows 10) I find no Start icon on homepage. How can I rectify this?

A question just came up in the PTC Creo threads about configuring ModelCHECK. I mentioned that the answer was in the ModelCHECK PDF and the response was, "What ModelCHECK PDF?"   A quick search on PTCs site and I couldn't find it after searching for two minutes, so time to upload a resource PTC should make more easily available.   Anyway, this is how I learned to implement it. Granted, this version is from Wildfire 4.0, but since PTC hasn't made any changes to it, I can confirm all the configs and choices have been the same at least through Creo 2.0.   Enjoy.

Hi, I am using Creo 4.0, M030. I am replacing table pattern values with the values I am generating in my code. But if the generated values are null then table pattern values should be deleted. I am facing issue in deleting table pattern for assembly. Please guide me on this. Thanks
