Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Welcome to Blog Post #21 in Our Multibody Series!   In today’s post, we’re diving into a powerful new capability introduced in Creo 11—the ability to reference an existing point/coordinate system based pattern in a geometry pattern of type "point" pattern. This enhancement can significantly streamline your workflow, especially when working with complex body patterns. To get started, check out the What’s New video linked below. The first section highlights the benefits of the new “From Pattern” option in point patterns, which helps accelerate regeneration using the “Identical” or “Flexible” regeneration modes. Around the 50-second mark, the video also demonstrates some useful body patterning techniques.   (view in My Videos)   While the video covers the basics, here are a few key tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this feature: Patterning Bodies with Coordinate SystemsUse a pattern of coordinate systems

Requesting EMX team to separate "Return pin" from ejector pin category.  The issue is during cleaning up ejector pins using command " delete all ejector pins" , this return pins will also get deleted and need to reassign all the references related to it. kindly check.

但是现在使用的版本号为Croe 12.4.0，映射键F2，为显示/隐藏轴，当映射键F2在组件时可以正常使用;在零件的时候F2就无法使用了，零件状态的时候按F2无任何反应（如果不使用映射键，在快捷键中设置F2也是可以正常使用的）

The Creo Parametric CAD application currently supports drag-and-drop functionality for opening design files directly within the session view area. However, as part of a customization initiative using Creo Toolkit, I am seeking the ability to intercept these drag and drop events when a file is dragged into the Creo Parametric session. At present, there appears to be no API available within the Creo Toolkit that facilitates the interception or handling of these specific events. Upon reaching out to PTC support, I was directed to knowledge article CS230497, which confirms that capturing drag and drop events through the Creo Toolkit is currently not supported. The support team recommended submitting this as a product enhancement idea. Therefore, I’m formally requesting the addition of APIs to the Creo Toolkit that would enable developers to capture and respond to drag-and-drop events within Creo Parametric. I invite fellow community members to vote for this proposal to help

Hello, I'm having troubles using this two funcitons. Effect I'm expecting using this two functions one after each other. I see the same thing without changes by getting actual transformation and applying it to the model. Now let's see what's actually happens let model = pfcGetCurrentSession().GetCurrentModel() let transform = model.GetCurrentViewTransform() model.SetCurrentViewTransform(transform)This code retrieves transformation from opened model and i expect this transformation to be correct because I do actually see it in model and there is no errors in it. But: Uncaught Error: pfcExceptions::XToolkitBadInputs in ProViewMatrixSet at <anonymous>:3:7Is there any extra step needed to repair transformation gained directly from model?

Hi guys.   I have a quick question about simplified reps in drawings. I know you can change the simplified representation for new views in the drawing models sidebar, but I need to know if there is a way to change the representation for already created views. I have a part that was drawn as the master rep, but for a long list of reasons, that iteration of the part is now a simplified representation. Is there a way to keep the drawing the same? In other words, can I change all those views from the master rep, to a simplified rep without deleting and redrawing them all?   Best Regards, Alex

Creo Parametric 8.0 I use OTK JAVA replace session model not find the API..so ...................I want  Model.EraseWithDependencies then session openFilebut ....................some model its success ,some model fail throw XToolkitInUse everyone................you Know how to do replace session model? (physical has new verison but session model is old version)why the Model.EraseWithDependencies throw XToolkitInUse? 

I get really confused about this, it should be as simple to put the font to the load point of the font folder? The one where config.pro points with the pro_font_dir? I have it all set upmagyar_iso30985font.ndxhu_latin_1.fnthu_ascii.fntThe ndx contains the fnt names:hu_ascii.fnthu_latin_1.fntThe font is loaded, but where the hungarian (ő for example) char should be shown, there is only squares like this:  The font is proper, and was working before, any ideas?

Whenever I print to PDF, instead of the file name coming out as the drawing name i instead getthe prefix Creo Parametric - (character that looks like a chessboard), then the file name, then four additional digits.This is not just Adobe, but with other pdf print options too.So each time I save I have to delete this extra detail. which is really annoying and time consuming.But if I save as PDF it screws with text and line thickness.  I can't find where it is pulling this additional detail from, or how to stop it. Thanks in advance if you can help!  

Hi everyone,I’m currently exploring Creo’s multi-axis manufacturing capabilities, specifically for impeller machining. I’ve already programmed and machined an impeller using Creo Multi-Axis, but all the strategies—roughing, blade finishing, and hub machining—had to be created manually. (Please see attached picture.)Other CAM software like Mastercam and Siemens NX offer dedicated modules or toolpaths tailored for impellers and other bladed components.So I’d like to ask:Does Creo offer any specialized tools or modules for 5-axis impeller machining?Are there built-in strategies for blade-to-blade finishing, tool tilting and collision avoidance, and roughing in deep/narrow passages?What about hub finishing with smooth transitions?Or is everything expected to be built manually through generic multi-axis features?I’d appreciate input from anyone who has experience machining turbomachinery parts in Creo.Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm using Creo Parametric version 10.0.3.0. I have a couple of questions related to plug-ins:Is the SubD plug-in available for Creo Parametric?Is there any difference between Freestyle and SubD

Hello,I have created a small C++/CLI library which make calls to a C# DLL, this library works fine if I call it from any other C++ project, but it does not work if I call it from my Toolkit application (based on Creo Toolkit 10.0.6.0).The application compiles and links fine, but it fails to start from the Auxiliary Applications menu:  Checking that trailfile info, I only can see these lines related to my app not saying any clue about the possible root cause error:  What I'm thinking is that Creo doesn't support Toolkit apps involved with C++/CLI code, but I would like to confirm that, do some of you have experience this? Thanks.       

Profile Milling with Tool Compensation and Ramp Entry or helical for Internal Profile Hello CREO Users,I am working on a milling operation for an internal profile (similar to a valve seat geometry) in Creo Manufacturing. My objective is to machine the internal contour using tool radius compensation (CUTCOM) and to ensure smooth ramp transitions between Z-level passes or using helical folling the profile to avoid marks on the final surface.I have tried the following approaches:The Cut Line strategy allows helical movements and smooth transitions between passes, but it does not support tool radius compensation (CUTCOM). This is a requirement for my process.The Profile Milling strategy does support CUTCOM, but it does not offer ramp or spiral entry between Z-level cuts. As a result, the tool plunges vertically at each level, which causes unwanted marks and steps in the internal diameter of the part.I've tried to explore all the SCAN_TYPE parameters. LEAD_IN and LEAD_OUT approach but

Hi! i've installed creo view express but i can't get it to work, i dont get any error message, it just does not open.    

Hello, I am trying to make a fix for a turbine with some complex geometry in Creo 10.0. I don't want to just sketch a shape and extrude it, but rather I am trying to get it to follow a curve. This feels like it should be easy, but I am struggling with it. This is the shape and that is the type of curve I want it to follow. What is the best way to accomplish this. 

I'm looking for a method to insert a visible date stamp into a wirelist so that a reviewer can quickly verify when the wirelist report was generated. This datestamp needs to also be present in the CSV so that the datestamp is available when the CSV is exported. A datestamp can be added to the footer, but this footer does not get transferred to the CSV file (screenshot 1).If a row is added to the table with a datestamp, this row is repeated between every line, which is not the desired result (screenshot 2). Has anyone found a solution for this? It would be ideal if the footer would carry through to the CSV but this does not seem to be an option.

Hey ptc community,I wrote this simple Java program with AI but since I don't know anything about Java at all I need someone to tell me why it doesn't work.The error message I get is:Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\ENGapps\PTC\Creo 10.0.7.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\lib\jnicipjavamtz.dll: Can't find dependent librariesat java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load0(Native Method)at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(ClassLoader.java:2437)at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:2494)at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:2694)at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:2656)at java.base/java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:827)at java.base/java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1888)at com.ptc.cipjava.initadapt.initadapters(initadapt.java:56)at com.ptc.pfc.pfcSession.pfcSession.<clinit>(pfcSession.java:33)at test.main(test.java:10)I also al

Hello!I am running a model of a bolted connection between 3 parts. Since CREO does not allow the use of the "Fastener" feature for 3 parts, I defined bonded surfaces to simulate the contact between parts. I also defined non-linear materials in order to evaluate plastic behavior of the system. When a bonded surface is defined in CREO, the program automatically creates measures for the interface forces. However, CREO only shows the interfaces measures when I run a static linear analysis (ignoring plasticity).Is there a workaround to be able to see interface measures when running a non-linear analysis with plasticity? Thanks!    

I am just putting this out there to see if anyone else has been noticing that anything that seems to check references, especially using "edit references" has become ridiculously slow in the latest releases (Creo 8, 9). In a 300 feature model, half of the time it can take up to 15min for it to display the dialog box with the references. This generally happens when there is sometimes only 2 or 3 references, and the CPU isn't even being taxed at all... generally 6-7%. My drive is an SSD, and the files are local; so I can rule out anything to do with the network. It just seems like a massive bug; amongst others ones that were introduced that have made core functionality a terrible experience.  The reference viewer also seems to extremely slower compared to Creo version 6.  8 and 9 seem to be some of the worst releases with regards to core functionality in a long time. 

The idea here is to give to the user the ability to turn off the active section while being active in another feature.

A 3D model of a wire mesh net (1539.5 x 177.5 mm, wire diameter 0.5 mm). The pattern is created using 60 extrudes × 512 extrudes (total 30,720)a. First pattern (512 instances, 177.5 mm each) I used "Identical"b. Second pattern (60 instances, 1539.5 mm each) I used "General".Whenever I change pattern options—switching between "Variable", "General", and "Identical"—the regeneration time is about 3 minutes. Is there any way to reduce the regeneration time from minutes to just a few seconds?Note: I can't select both patterns as "Identical", because this prevents me from creating cuts/holes in the mesh model later due to self-intersecting surfaces. hence, I had to choose "General". But now regen time is too long.

Good day, everyone, I am in the process of setting up and testing the Intelligent Fastener Extension (IFX) for the company I work for, and I have successfully integrated some of our legacy data into IFX. However, I am struggling to import nested family table parts correctly. A bit of background:I was successful in getting our fasteners to appear in the screw dropdown (Metric Bolt FT DIN933 SS). However, the length selection was not available, and I was unable to place the fastener set.   After some investigation, I realized that the family table instance did not include the length of each bolt. Instead, the file was nested by bolt size, with the length only available in the lower levels of the family tables. This led me to conclude that this might be why the length did not populate.  I would like to know if the Intelligent Fastener Extension (IFX) is compatible with nested family tables. I have worked through B&W's IFX training guide, which was very h

Afternoon All,    I am currently working with a large assembly, and required to make sub-assemblies for creating technical drawings. At the moment, the only way I'm able to copy parts into the new sub-assembly is dragging each individual part from the model tree into the new sub-assembly.    I have tried messing around to figure out a way to simultaneously copy all of the desired parts into the sub-assembly, but nothing has worked out.    I'm sure there's a simple solution that I'm missing, can anybody help? Thanks.

Creo10 & ProToolkit & Cpp...   Button#1 (in UI_dialog#1) would have a callback, which would... step1) load DLL#2, and then step2) Call an exported Function (eg. "display_dialog_2") which would result in UI_dialog#2 being displayed alongside-of, or in-front-of UI_dialog#1.   *But, I cant seem to get step 2 to work.  UI#2 never displays.  Any help&guidance would def be appreciated.  Code example(s) even better.
