Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.3.0I want to be able to snap a new line in sketch mode to a custom palette symbol without have to break the symbol into draft entities.

I am using Creo Parametric 5.0 5.0.6.0How to configure installation so run Node Locked license before running Floating Server License? A user has a Node Locked license, but also needs access to Floating Server license pool.When user runs Creo, floating license is pulled first. The goal is to pull Node Locked license first.

I have a customised table for fetching all parts all parts from model tree . But the error in the table is it does not display alphabetically / in order of the model tree. E.G:- it goes like 001,003,002. but I need it configured as in order. Can anyone help. Attached is the file.Thanks in advance

Hi, Do we have an option to create an animation for Hose/Flexible pipe in Creo? Appreciate for your response. ThanksNaresh 

Hello,I have a network folder where the icon is in the path F:\Config\Creo\Splash\Icone.ico , when I go to put an image on the CREO icon on the desktop it doesn't appear, the folder has all the permissions because CREO is saved normally, but the image doesn't appear, what could it be?

I know it's a weird Q. I thought worth still asking. Options to build cable, like something as shown in image attached. THANKS!

Consider that I have an assembly model with me which is designed in a different CAD software (Eg.: SW, NX...)Now, I have imported that geometry into CREO environment. Now, I`d like to find out the mass properties, Centre of Gravity & Inertia of the same imported assembly. This is where the question comes in... Now, if I don`t define the material properties, is there any way to find out the above mentioned parameters??? Because I have heard that SW has this feature & I`m curious if CREO works this way or not.Please feel free to answer. I`d humbly appreciate your replies. CiaoSrikar Sarma

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.2.0I've built a PRO/Toolkit project in exe (SPAWN) mode. While registering it, I'm getting the following error.Here are the errors that I faced"Foreign program did not initialize properly; a communication problem may have occurred."

Hello team, in one of our use case, we need to show multiple WTPart's details in a drawing as a table format. there could be 100 WTParts with ~15 attributes each. so the data will be sppaned across multiple sheets. as of now design engineer has to manually create table and fill in all the data and we want to automate the process. Solution:fetch the data from windchill using queryspec and populate the as "Parameters" of the drawingcreate a "Table Template" as file with '&variables' as key and add same Key values in 'Parameter' table.user then will select the table template from 'Table From File' option and place it on drawing, the drawing will automatically fill out the variable values from 'Parameter' section. downside too many parameters are getting generated as of now. if drawing has 20 related WTParts with 20 values to be shown the 20 x 20 = 400 key values pairs will get generated. but it saves a lot of manual data filling.we have to create a table templ

Greetings, Regarding the Creo AFX start_mdl.cfg file (start part information), is there a way to: Specify tolerancing standard  (ANSI/ASME or ISO/DIN)?Specify separate Part and Assembly parameters (our start part and start assembly parameters are slightly different)? We are currently using Creo 11.0.3.0. Thank you, Matt Steed

I am not able to find the enclosure volume. option not highlighted.     

Hi all, I would like to know if someone can help me to give an direction what's the best path for me in Creo. Not fully new in 3d, was CAM programmer for over 10 years. (other program than Creo)Switched now to Additive Manufacturing, and would like to help the engineers with some questions. Only thing is i cannot design in creo yet. (did some playlists in the PTC learner, but that doesn't make me an engineer.)I would like to learn how to use the Topological designing and design for additive manufacturing. But i don't know what path is the best to walk. I cannot find the requirements if you want to follow the training : Generative Topology Optimization.I understand that the fundamentals would be helpful, but what kind of training is advice before starting with topology? Thank you,Kind regards, Danny

Hi allI'm using inheritance .prt to .prt model links.I'm getting 3 different icons shown in the model tree.  andCan someone explain the different meanings of these 3 variants?I already checked the information in Model Tree Icon List - PTC Community Thanks a lot in advancePius We are using Creo Paramterics 8.0.4.0, 

Hello,We are experiencing difficulties opening drawings directly from the model . Currently, our designers have to manually go to the server information(Windchill), navigate to the content tab, find the drawing reference, and only then open the drawing.Is there a way to use Creo JS to programmatically find the drawing reference associated with the current model in Windchill, and then automatically download and open it?Any advice or example scripts would be greatly appreciated! 

I want to understand the need for the memory allocation limits of 16 Gb for 64 bit machines?? i understand the need of having enough memory for the operating system, but now that machines with 32, 64 and even 128 Gb are comun. I am asking this because i have a model that the global matrix profile is around 100 Gb on the last pass of the MPA analysis and I am working on a machine with 128Gb of RAM

Hello, how can I replace in simulation those kind of bolted joints so preload is included. I need to create linear simulation with bolted joints and analyse those joints so they are accurately represented. The problem is Creo simulate can't create bolted joint while there are more than two parts bolted togeather. Can those bolted joints be recreated as a  beam structure or any kind of spring structure?Thank you in advance

I opened this Topic a little while ago, and accepted what seemed to be a solution, but it is only a band-aid, not a full solution.  It does not always work.  Since that topic is "Solved" I am opening this as a follow up. The previous topic is: "Where is the Explode > Reset Component Position Function?"  located at https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Where-is-the-Explode-gt-Reset-Component-Position-Function/m-p/1017403 The Toggle Explode is misleading as I mentioned in a response on the other thread.  Now, here is an example where the Toggle does not place components back to the original location like the "Explode > Reset" did.  This is as close as I can get.  If I Toggle explode on any of these, it sends them out into space.  Where is the Explode > Reset Position function? In case you don't know, there was an excellent function for working with explode states called "Reset" which would put the compone

Hi everyone, I am working in Java with Creo's OTK, and through JLink, I was able to connect to the currently running Creo Session. I want to add an ActionListener to my session object that detects when the session terminates. So far, I have this:class CreoTerminationListener extends ActionListener_u implements AsyncActionListener { @Override public void OnTerminate(TerminationStatus terminationStatus) { System.out.println("Termination detected!"); }}After loading in the pfcasyncmt library, I retrieve the session as such:AsyncConnection async = null;try { async = pfcAsyncConnection.AsyncConnection_Connect(null, null, null, 5);} catch (Exception e) { System.err.println(e);}if (async == null) { System.err.println("Async connection to Creo not established!"); return;}Session sess = async.GetSession();creoTerminationListener = new CreoTerminationListener();sess.AddActionListener(creoTerminationListener);Then, I start an HTTP server through Creoson which communicates with the Creo clien

If anyone does have those permissions and agrees with the idea, feel free to add it. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Ideas/ct-p/creoideas)Dear PTC Product Management Team, I’d like to propose a new feature for future releases of Creo Cabling: the ability to save and manage multiple cable routing states within a single cable assembly—similar to how flexible components work. ### Proposed functionality:- **Save named states** of a routed cable (e.g. “Straight,” “Routed Around Hinge,” “Slack”).- **Load or switch** between these states at will.- **“Straighten” button** to automatically place intermediate nodes in a straight line between connectors (much like the sheetmetal flatten tool).- Connector positions would also be flexible when swapping shape states. This would improve workflows significantly, removing the need for

Hi All,   I am currently working on some assemblies in Creo 4 that were created in Wildfire 4. Many of these assemblies have several (500+) breakable dependencies due to layer states. I have been looking for more information about these dependencies, but haven't been able to find much. I am trying to determine, how are these dependencies created? How is it that some of these assemblies have so many? If I break the dependency what happens? Any information about this would be great.   Thanks in advance!

I would like to create a drawing template that pulls in notes that have been created in the Combined State model file, much the same way we can automatically pull in drawing views from the model file into the drawing.  All my attempts to do this have failed. It seems like I can only pre-load pre-typed notes, rather than have the drawing pull in notes from the Combined State model file.  Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a custom Creo parametric C++ plugin by creating a Process in C# and calling "parametric.exe". I'm using Creo Parametric 7.0.9.0 with C# .NET Framework 4.8. This is the C# code to create the process and run parametric.exe: process.StartInfo.FileName = "\"C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 7.0.9.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe\""; process.StartInfo.Arguments = $"+Assypath=\"{_settings.WorkingDirectory}\\{assemblyName}\" "; process.StartInfo.Arguments += $"+Output_Dir=\"{_settings.WorkingDirectory}\" "; ... // Some other arg setting... ... process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; process.EnableRaisingEvents = true; process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true; process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; process.Exited += (sender, args) => { int exitCode = process.ExitCode; if (exitCode == 0) { Logger.LogMessage("Ran successfully"); } else { Logger.LogMessage($"Exited with error code: {exitCode}"); } }; var errorData = new String

Hallo Community,ich stehe derzeit vor einem Problem und ich komme wirklich nicht mehr weiter. Ich möchte einen ergonomischen Fahrradgriff für ein studentisches Projekt konstruieren, der am Ende mittels 3D-Druck gefertigt werden soll. Ich habe ein Teil der Auflagefläche herausextrudiert, um später ein weicheres Material (evtl. TPU) entweder über 2 Komponentendruck oder durch mechanisches Fügen in einem extra Schritt auf die Fläche aufzubringen. Die Schritte dafür waren Versatz --> Profil --> Zusammenführen --> Verbundvolumen (Bem.: Das Modell besitzt Freiformflächen). Für die Auflagefläche benötige ich wiederum das zuvor herausextrudierte Volumen, das ich dann ggf. auch anpassen kann. Ich bin zunächst gleich vorgegangen und am Ende wollte ich mit beim Verbundvolumen Material auffüllen, was zu einer Fehlermeldung führte. Dann habe ich jeweils die untere und obere Skizzengeometrie auf die Fläche durch Zusammenführen erstellt. Wie bekomme ich jetzt ein Volumen aus diesen Flächen?

Hi Community, Creo version in use 11.0.2.0 connected to Windchill 12.1.2.10 Does anyone here know a way to define a reference designator for a component used in a subassembly in the upper Assembly?Our use case:A - Top Assembly,  B - Subassembly (Gathering Part)    C - Component with an electrical designation e.g. R101  B - Subassembly (Gathering Part)    C - Component with an electrical designation e.g. R102 Subassembly B is used several times within A, but it's actually just a "dummy" assembly which only exists in MCAD. When we now assign a reference designator for C, it is defined in B, hence it's always the same, but it should differ. Is there anything foreseen in Creo / Windchill to cover this? Follow up question would be if it's somehow possible that component C immediately appears in the WT-Part structure of A without generating a Part for B? Thanks and BR

I learned a little bit, but I haven't mastered it at all.It should be cold at one end and hot at the other, but I didn't expect that one end is hot and the other end is even hotter.Is there expert tell me where I am wrong?
