Creo+ and Creo Parametric

see attached video for explanation if we redefine the assembly constraint from "by interface" to "manual", the message does not appear anymore in the above assembly.(view in My Videos) @CHENAMA @FF_11835266

Anyone know why fluid domain color is red in flow analysis i have add fluid and solid domain and generate the mesh but it not generated for internal fluid domain i also attached the reference image  

Currently it's not supported by Pro/TOOLKIT to do also a "Revise" beside a Checkout of an object from Windchill using ProServerObjectsCheckout() like it's written in Article - CS254712 - What Revise and Check Out options in Windchill PDMLink are supported by Creo Parametric customization.This functionality would be a great improvement for further CREO-releases.

user should have ability to replace/reselect failed references in remove feature like in this example:current functionality is very limited here!User can only delete wrong references or all...Standard selection with <SHIFT> (up to boundary) should be accesible here 🙏

hi All i acutally have the same issue as this post here:https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/Using-the-VB-API-to-create-a-drawing-with-a-custom-template/td-p/17502 but the possibilities to fix mentioned there do not work for me, does anyone has an idea? i am using creo 7.0.12.0

In a Design Exploration session, I want to be able to save a STL or STEP file of each solution ; Currently, the save as option is not available

Hello fellow engineers, Recently I updated from Creo 7.0 to Creo 10.0. I am in the middle of a project so maybe it wasn't a good idea. When re-running a buckling analysis that used to return a BLF of about 2.5 in Creo 7.0, now I get values of about 0.5!  Has anyone noticed this pattern? I believe the new 10.0 version is overconservative, as I have done hand-calculations to verify the buckling mode and the plates are nowhere close to buckle.  I believe the solver must have been updated. The model in question corresponds to a crane with a telescopic boom, where the contact pads (usually solids to allow for contact definition, non-linear analysis) are replaced by a beams (linear analysis). 

Good morning community, I have a general question about how Simulate reports rigid modes when "with rigid mode search" is checked.  I created a simple part with a surface constraint and released 1 DOF (in the Z-direction).  I would expect Simulate to report at least one rigid mode that would show the assembly translating along the Z-direction.  The animation does show this but it doesn't say it is a rigid mode.  Wondering why that is?  Is there a frequency threshold before Simulate reports the mode as rigid?  I released 2 DOF of freedom (in Y and Z) and then it does report rigid modes.  However, when I animate it, there is some rotation of the assembly in the first mode which I would expect only translation.  I attached my assembly file.  

I am developing a UDF for screw threads and ports and need some support understanding whether a certain implementation is possible and how to manage references to make it happen.  Insofar, I have defined UDFs with a coordinate system that every other feature ultimately points to and placed these UDFs using that coordinate system and one placed in the model, or the on-surface coordinate system option. My understanding is that the basest feature(s) appearing in any UDF will be what all the other features ultimately reference.  Ultimately, we would like these UDFs to be placed with reference to an axis the screw goes along and the face the screw extends from. However, I'm struggling to figure out if it's possible to manage references in such a way that those are the reference prompts. I have been experimenting for a while and can't arrange datums in a way that accomplishes this.  More broadly, I've been having some trouble defining UDFs to point to anything B

I can't seem to delete a cable break after placing it. I don't see the "X" that is supposed to represent the cable break in the flat model. Anyone experienced this issue?The only way I have been able to successfully delete it is to delete the entire cable segment.

Good afternoon,  I am new to using GD&T advisor, so far as a tool i think it potentially has a lot of benefits. However i am at a stage where i have completed all the GD&T definitions, and now want to add some traditional dimensions, eg. linear dimensions from datums to plane surfaces. When i try it says 'no applicable reference'. I am unsure how i can have traditional dimensions along side GD&T

I am using Creo Parametric 10. I am encountering a similar issue to what is described here: (1) Replace by unrelated component and asm0001 already... - PTC Community. From that, I am able to delete the "asm0001.asm" from my workspace and that allows me to use replace by unrelated component. However, when I try to upload the "replacement" part to Windchill, I get the error "Assembly - asm0001.asm is not unique".  I checked the Reference Viewer in the part, and asm0001.asm is not listed. Where else can I check to break the reference? The part file is a family table, if that matters.

I am looking for a feature in Creo that allows you to select faces of two features and determine the relationship between them. For example, in SolidWorks, if you select two flat surfaces, it will show whether they are parallel or perpendicular in the bottom right corner or the analysis window. Similarly, if you select two circles, it will indicate if they are concentric or offset. Is there a feature in Creo that provides similar functionality or something close to it? Thank you.

Hi I'm trying to make an asynchronous app that help automate some processes.is it possible to iterate through all parts/sub assemblies in an assembly and add all components with a specific file name (test.prt for example) and add them to the selection buffer? I want the user to have the option to right click and hide/exclude/delete the selected components.   any example of how to add components to selection buffer will be appreciated. thanks 

I can define the thread hole format in the .hol file after  edit CALLOUT_FORMAT line.but i can't define the countersink hole format based on this way, anyone can tell me how to define that? another problem is how to hide the zero after the decimal point?

I could use some help understanding the differences between User Defined Features and Family Tables, working in Creo 10, how you choose which to use when trying to standardize/parameterize a particular component or feature, and why you would use a User Defined Feature that contains (or otherwise references) a Family Table or vice versa. Here is my current understanding of the differences:User Defined FeaturesCreated from features in a part file, may or may not maintain references to it (subordinate/standalone)Creates a .gph fileUsed with a series of defined prompts that relate to feature parameters (dimensions etc) and placement in the model using itInstances as a body or a modification to a bodyFamily TablesBased around a generic ancestor part fileCreates additional part files as you create instancesUsed by assembling instances of the relevant part fileInstances as a part

Hi, when I put the subassembly, wich parts are constrained to the straight lines in the picture below, in an assembly, I would like to modify the green circled sketch dimension from a value of 1160 mm to 1400 mm with 20 mm pitch dimensions: how can I do it without relations?Is there a method that allow this procedure with flexible dimension?  Thank you, Michele Baril

I am pretty new to Creo Parametric and running into an issue where updating a part requires large amount of re-definition in assembly. I'm designing an adaptor between a t-slot beam and a table, the adaptor is applied 20 times over. Every time I make a change to the adaptor's sketch or thickness the assembly requires me to redo all the definitions of parts around all the adaptors. How should I avoid this?

I have an assembly that needs multiple configurations. In one configuration component A is assembled to component B. In another configuration, A is assembled to component C and B doesn't exist or is suppressed.I think using a Family Table and Constraint sets would be a great solution. In the first FT instance I have a Constraint Set that constrains A to B and in a second instance, I have another Constraint Set that assembles A to C. However, the problem is that when I suppress B in the second instance, A becomes suppressed as well. I'm assuming this is because the Constraint Set that is used in the first instance makes A a child of B. Is there any workaround for this? Is there any discussion about having disabled Constraint Sets severing or negating parent/child relationships? It seems to me that would make sense and open more flexibility when using Creo assemblies. Currently using Creo 11

I can't get a texture to save in the company appearance.dmt with the texture file saved. Is that because the  save_texture_with_model does what it says and saves the texture with the CAD file?   Anyone have any luck saving a texture file in the appearance.dmt for use as a company standard? Hoping I am just missing something easy here. I tried putting the texture file (.jpg) in the same folder as the appearance file but that doesn't seem to be working. When I open up the appearance.dmt with a text editor the there is a color_map line that references my jpg filename so it is saved in that file. Does the full path need to be in there?

Good day to anyone, first time posting here! I've been having a very simple issue, but as I am accumulating an increasingly large amount of files and need to navigate multiple folders, it has become quite a hassle that Creo's 'File>Open' Menu only allows for opening a single .prt file at once. Unfortunately, as the files in question are only somewhat related, they are not part of an assembly and as such cannot be opened together using the 'Open Subgroup' option.In many other programs, I could use Control-click to select multiple files individually or Shift-click on two files to select all files inbetween, then have all selected files opened in their own respective windows after clicking the 'Open' button. Is there a hidden option to select that would allow me to open multiple files at once? Or could I somehow replace the file mangement system with a somewhat more user-friendly one? Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Any assistance in the matter would be very
