Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi, I want to understand what ways you have employed to distribute Creo Parametric config and setup files at an enterprise level to end users. We use SCCM to distribute / deploy base Creo Parametric application, but to distribute config and setup files, we use windows batch script that gets invoked once a day at end users' machines.  The setup files are kept at few regional servers (as repositories) and the batch script copies (robocopy, syncdirs) these files into the end user's device. We have not opted for packaging Config and setup files through SCCM as these files are changed or new files are introduced frequently.  And the need is to get them distributed as immediately as possible. Our requirements: Config and Setup files are maintained at one network location (mother repository).These files should be replicated to Regional specific repositories.The files then should be pushed from each Regional Repositories to end users located in respectiv

Hi, I've recently generated some geometry in Creo Parametric 11.0.0.0 on Windows 11, but I can't export it to a different file type for use in a different program. I've tried STEP and Parasolid filetypes, but both export as empty files. What is happening?Here's a photo of the file sizes, something is clearly wrong. Any help is appreciated! I attached the file to this post. 

I’m trying to create a pen table to automatically print in black and white through a distribute patch. I tried several materials but it doesn’t work, the copy comes out in black and white. Can anyone help me with this? How can I automatically print a PDF in black and white using distribute? Thanks in advance for everyone’s attention!!

Hi All,Would someone be able to tell me how to delete a row or column from any table in drawing mode? I've been looking for about an hour and still can't find a way. Appreciate any help anyone can give. FYI, I am currently using Creo 2.0.

I'm looking for guidance regarding how to set up a heat exchanger component in Creo Flow Analysis (CFA).  Are there any examples, tutorials, or online help available?  I'm not finding anything. Thanks! Mark  

Reference from topicI've been fighting with this issue for years now, in my case it was win32_gdi -- once I replace it with opengl it worked like a charm!!May I ask how does one start this Information Window, and where is this file support.inf.1 located?Thank you again Remy, you made my day!!!

Hello there,i am using creo 9.0 and vs professional 2022I want to create a full asynchronous creo toolkit application on VS professional, but i dnt know how to start in a proper way. using some online materials i have managed to create  something ,1) any guide or start point to async creo application2) How to pass RPC commands and where to find it ?3) when i try to unlock using protk_unlock , i get toolkit for drawing license isnt available , but i dnt use any api regarding drawings ?4) how to generate a pfc file and use that to get all the data of the cad part from the session?sorry if all these are basic as i am new to it . i have learnt creo toolkit synchronous mode but not this

Hi,  you may find this question stupid..  i find out that in creo assembly, lets say i have 10 components ..  when i wanted to edit the mate (say distance mate) of the 5th component,  then the components 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hides...    the problem here is when i edit the distance, i am not sure whether is it going to hit/interfere with any of components that was added after 5th ..  after coming out of edit definition .. i find that it is interfering , then i have to change again ..  the case is not just with editing mates, but changing mates / position and so on ..    is there a way to avoid hiding of rest of components...  or is it too much to ask from creo...      thanks in advance .. 

Hi there, is there a way to declare a template for process plan assemblies? When I try to create one, "use template" is grayed out:  The main problem is, that there are no pre-defined orientations, which makes it unnecessary inconvenient to create drawing from that later.  I am using Creo 10.0.7.0  

Hello,   just wondering how the default tolerance value works at new created dimension in drawing. Since i use mostly the +- symetric - would it be possible to set the default tolerance (maybe in drawing setup file) value this way?   Thanks in advance   T.

Having some trouble with flattening a small harness with 2 wires. It's a very simple harness with a connector on one end and then 2 eyelets on the other. Ideally for the drawing Id like to have each wire coming out relative to where it would on the real connector. The picture shows about as good as I can get it.  Anything I try seems to screw it up in some form. Using the move segment tool works in some cases but if for example I want to move the red wire to the correct position I can move it but as soon as I confirm it it disappears from the window and in the model tree that part of the flatten harness turns red. So I delete it and have to re-flatten that section.  If I try and auto fan it it makes a big mess where the cables are twisted together. I have tried using the twist command but I can't seem to get that working either. There are times where I can get the connector to look right with the wires but then there is a twist going towards the eyelets and I still

I have some large scan files from a router with many small line segments.  Creo error "you are attempting to import too many entities"  Suggested turning of "intent manager".  I can not find intent manager and it sketcher will not import the .dxf file.   If I hit Proceed, it does not import anything.   Is there a work flow work around for this to get the data into sketcher? 

We created symbols of tables (i.e. torque table) in an mbd in Creo 8 but when we export them into a pvz file the justification of the symbol text changes from center justified to right justified so the text violates the table lines. These same files exported correctly with my old computer, but i had to get a new one and have a new config.pro. Is there a setting that controls this?

We have a requirement to highlight areas of a casting model as zoned areas, where the zoned area has specil requirements, ie cannot be repaired with welds etc.  We usually do this by highlighing the areas by drawing sketches on the drawing views.  We thought it might be a good idea to show these surfaces as different coloured surfaces in the 3D model so found a way on youtube, where a guy showed how to change a particular surface to transparent, then copy and paste a new surface over the transparent surface, which could then be split into 2 surfaces, with one being the colour of the original part and the other surface being coloured to a new colour to highlight a special attention area.  Our current policy for casting to machined, is to take this casting model, create a new part for the machined and then merge the casting into the machined model (using Get Data > Merge/Inheritance).  Unfortunately, when we then apply machined cuts to the machined part, these newl

I have a prt(V Belt) where i need to have two models, but show just one at time.Usually we use one for 3d and one for 2d, but in this case i just wanna have like "one button" where i show one or another. Creo 8.0.9.0   

Hi, since a few moths ago it is speaking more about the ARM architecture, is it posible to install PTC software on this computer architecture?

I have a UDF that has annotation features When I use this UDF in another part, if the annotation plane is different from the one that the UDF was created in then the annotations come in with the suppressed icon next to them and while you can see them briefly if you edit the dimension they are associated to they will not show up using the show annotations button. I opened up a ticket and PTCs response was that I need to place the UDF in the same annotation plane that it was originally made in. This means that I would need 6 different UDFs that all have the same features. My users would need to figure out what annotation plane they are working in and then pick the correct UDF that corresponds.   Am I missing something? Does anyone know of a work around for this? If there is none then I can open an idea, seems like PTC should be able to auto change the annotation plane to correspond to one that the UDF placement is parallel to.

Hello,In Creo 4.0 I was able to cycle through different hatched components in an assembly drawing with the "Next" and "Previous" function in the Mod XHatch menu.However, in Creo 11.0 I cannot find this functionality in the "Edit Hatching" menues, How can I cycle between hatched components in an easy way?  Best regards,Erik 

Hi All!I am trying to open an existing solid tool (assembly) with bulk parts for the inserts and screws (I don't want to model them separately) in the NC assembly environment , My problem is, that Creo doesn't recognize the proper quantity even though the BOM_REPORT_QUANTITY parameter is already set.Also, can I use a parameter to override the type field to show INSERT / HOLDER instead of GENERIC? Is there any workaround for this? Thank you!I am using Creo 12.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.3.0I was able to use the Transform feature under Component Operations for one component of my assembly. Now I want to use Transform again on the same assembly but I can no longer find it in the Component Operations' menu

Hi everyone,I'm looking for a way to rapidly create scribe lines on a part. I have a wall with multiple parts welded on it. I want to be able to add to the drawing engraved line (in a layer with a different color) of the perimeter of the welded parts, to ease installation. That drawing will be exported to DXF, so that the manufacturer can work from it.I'm on Creo 8.  So far, the best way I found was:1. Activate the wall in the assembly.2. Create a shrinkwrap feature and select the mating faces.3. Place that shrinkwrap feature in its own layer.4. Create drawing and modify layer to what's needed. The problem with this method is that I have to select all the surfaces individually. In the example below, there's only a few surfaces, but in my case the walls have a lot more parts welded onto them. If anyone has a better idea on how to do this, please let me know.Thank you.  

We explored how to show wire details in a Wire Harness assembly by using the "Model Intent" option to designate wires and created standard Spool with WT Parts. By doing so, we were able to see wire details in the Harness assembly structure.We want to show each wire’s length as a quantity attribute in the structure. The wire length appears in the model tree column, but we need to get the same value in the WT Part structure. How can we retrieve this value for the WT Part?

Hi experts,I experienced the following behaviour.I set up an assembly with AFX standard parts (Bosch, Item or comparable), no customizations going on. Adding connectors leads to additional material cuts in the profiles where needed. When I now create automatic drawings from within AFX these holes are not dimensioned at all. When I add a rectangular cut for example, it is fully dimensioned (s. Drawing_Bosch_Profile.png). Another funny thing about this is that when I use steel or alu beams everything gets dimensioned (s. Drawing_Alu_Beam.png). Any ideas what I'm missing here? Tested it with Creo11 and Creo12 so far.

Hello, i've been tryign ot designate created command in PTC Creo JS API and didn't succed at all. Creo API can't find message file. I've been also trying to create absolute path to message file but it didn't work too. Here is my code example:// 1) Get the active Creo session var session = pfcGetCurrentSession(); // 2) Unique id for your command (make it unique per run while testing) var COMMAND_NAME = "MyJsSampleCommand_" + (new Date().getTime()); // 3) Implement the action listener var actionListener = pfcUICommandActionListener.create({ OnCommand: function (commandId) { print("Hello from " + COMMAND_NAME + "!"); }, OnCommandEnable: function (commandId) { return pfcCommandStatus.pfcCommandStatus_Enabled; } }); // 4) Create the UI command var uiCmd = session.UICreateCommand(COMMAND_NAME, actionListener); // 5) Designate it so it can be placed in Screen Customization uiCmd.Designate( "message.txt", // Message file "MyCmdLabel", // Label key from ui_message.txt "My
