Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have a circular part  with a rectangular keyway in the front plane.I have created an axis in the part normal to the front plane and referencing the right and top planes with 0.0 offsets. This is prior to creating any geometry.In the drawing of the part the axis crosshair is shown in the vertical plane and horizontal plane parallel to the keyway when the view is shown as front.If I rotate the front view by axis angle 45°, the axis crosshair are no longer shown as referencing the right and top of the part and parallel / perpendicular to the slot.Is there a way to have the axis cross hair fixed to the datums in the part, so that when the part is installed in an assembly , the angular dimensions can be called out  depending on the position of the keyway. And if the part is rotated in the drawing the axis stay aligned to the keyway. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, i am having a small issue, when i import a part, i am getting a error message that the part template is not found.i have not changed any settings nor has anyone in the company changed anything either so im a bit baffled why the import function has decided to lose the default templateanyone know how to check for the template or tell creo to search for it? using Creo Parametric 6.0.6.0 

When I  update a feature that a copy geometry references I will change the model but the copy geometry or reference will not follow. In the latest instance I updated a hole.   There is a sketch that references  that hole and in the large assembly a part is assembled to that hole. The hole location moves accordingly but the sketch and part stay in the old position.  This happens randomly.  Sometimes opening a new session fixes the issues. Other times it does not.  Otherwise I have to go into the following feature.  Delete the reference, reselect the reference and then reconstrain.  Creo 8.0.11.0

Hello Together, our company Blocks the acces for programs to the Documents folder so i need to change to config directory. I've already read that PTC help article about the IFX_USER_CONFIG_PATH but it isnt working for me.  I'm adding it like this in the default ifx_start_mdl.cfg:IFX_USER_CONFIG_PATH "Path:\to\folder" I'm currently running Creo Parametric 9.0.6.0 on windows 10. (The Documents Block only applies to our win11 machines) Any guess what i'm doing wrong? Maybe editing the wrong config?  Regards, 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.3.0Issue with “Fixing” Parts list table with repeat region fixing that pulls in data from a component parameter. We want to pull in information from assy component parameters and display info within a table column. Found that with this implemented, one is not able to “fix” the parts list table (which prohibits resorting).Example, component parameter assigned within assy context :NAME: REMARKSTYPE = STRINGVALUE = PURCHASEDAssy drawing parts list table has column entry fetching value: asm.mbr.cparam.REMARKSWorks as expected, reporting values for all components with component parameter “REMARKS”The problem is if I attempt to fix the table to prohibit resorting, I am met with the following error: “Can not fix index due to symbol.asm.mbr.CPARAM”The only way I can fix the table is by removing entry “asm.mbr.cparam.REMARKS” from parts lists table and also removing the “ASM_MBR_CPARAM_REMARKS” parameter from the repeat region’s relation UI

I am trying to hide the labels related to active combined states like Layer state , apperanace state etc.Also i want to modify or hide some times, the tolerance table label appears in the bottom right corner of the combined state.  But i am not able to find any options to hide or modify these labels. Is it a limitation ? or is there any settings to control it. Please guide me if someone faced this problem.Using creo 8   

Hello,i have an aluminium cylinder De60 Di54 L148 [mm]with the attached condition (Condition 1 e 2 . jpg)As a result of the thermal analysis (Thermal_analysis.jpg) i have what show in "Result.jpg" about thermal analysis I'm not sure that is correctCan you give me your opinion about it? Thank you

Hello, I would like to see if is possible to create multiple individual drawings from one main assembly. Currently our templates are set up so the revision level and initials displayed in the drawing are attached to the model and windchill. This works fine for the initial drawing that will get approved by the customer but because we treat each drawing as its own separate entity/part number and can be used to make multiple different end items, it becomes a massive headache. Currently we are having to create a family table with a separate instance per each drawing, which is a massive pain for file management and if we have to make any changes to a model once created. Also, since we custom machine and fabricate all of our products, we build our end item/complete assembly first then create the different supporting drawings by hiding components using component display. Any insight on how to make this possible would be greatly appreciated.

We want to get details of every GTOL (Feature control frames) created in on the every sheet (sheet wise). session.GetModelWindow(model).Activate() sheet = model Dim drawing = CType(model, IpfcDrawing) Dim nsheets = drawing.NumberOfSheets Dim sheetData = drawing.GetSheetData(1) Dim test = drawing.ListItems(EpfcModelItemType.EpfcITEM_ANNOTATION_ELEM) Dim mItem = CType(sheet, IpfcModelItemOwner) Dim feats = mItem.ListItems(EpfcModelItemType.EpfcITEM_GTOL)But we cant get any GTOL in feats.We tried quering dimensions, we get those dimensions. but from mulitple sheets.How can i get GTOLs. how we can understand to which sheet they belong.

Hi, I've attached an example with two flexible assemblies. Each of these assemblies contains two parts whose x-position is controlled using a variable dimension. Now my task is to get the "actual" position as it can be seen in the main assembly. I obviously can't use wfcWComponentFeat::getPosition as this gets me the "as constructed" position. I tried to call wfcWComponentFeat::Refresh and wfcWComponentFeat::RefreshRelations before calling getPosition but this hasn't changed anything... Do i have to calculate the correct position myself or is there some kind of "trick" that i have to do in order to get the correct position? Thanks, Christoph

I opened a drawing to make a simple revision and immediately had trouble selecting items.  If I select a note the green box that normally surrounds the selection is offset and rotated.    Creating a new note results in the same.  I created a new sheet and switched the note to that new sheet and it is normal there.  switching it back to original sheet and it messed up again.  It only appears to be a problem on that sheet of that drawing.  It is affecting tables in a similar way.  Has anyone seen this and there is a way to fix it? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.8.0on a bulk item PProMdlType::PRO_MDL_PARTProMdlsubtype::PROMDLSTYPE_BULKProParameterDelete returns PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERRORThis same code works fine on parts.The UI can delete these parameters. I am a bit lost as to why i cannot delete them. If i am suppose to be able to delete these, i will create a mini project and share the source.

There anyway simple to identify what part is suppressed in a mammoth .asm? Tricks / Tips Pl ....Thx in advance!

I want to rotate an existing group in a part and delete the original. I tried: - Paste special and then used the independent option: It's not independent.- Paste special and then used the advanced option: Cannot simply rotate.- Tried Pattern: Cannot delete/suppress original. Is there a simple way to do it? 

Is there a way, in CREO 10, to get the surface of an extrude to look different than the background surface?The first picture is what I was trying to achieve -- a plaque (i.e. an ornamental tablet, typically of metal, porcelain, or wood, that is fixed to a wall or other surface in commemoration of a person or event).The second picture shows how it looks in CREO, using NO HIDDEN -- anything else (like SHADING WITH EDGES) transforms it into something horrible, that cannot be understood (my colors in CREO have always been awful, never managed to get those nice pastel colors that other people show on YouTube).The third picture shows how it should look even in CREO -- I used colors to make a point, but what I had in mind was at least a GRAINY surface, different from the background surface of the respective plaque, just to make sense to someone who is trying to figure out what they are looking at (no need to look artistically pleasant, but to be at least intelligible).Any ideas would be great

Hi, I need a help to start a creo in a custom way likewise.If it start creo, the config.pro, templates & other files should be copied to local drive from the shared drive. Once i close the creo session & start fresh again it should remove the old files & then copy the same files again from shared drive to local drive.Note : this is a windchill based environment.Kindly help me with the procedure to perform this task.ThanksNaresh

I'm currently working on trying to evaluate the safety of the screws used for a lift bar of a block but seem to not be able to get reasonable values for the stresses inside the bolts. I believe that the model is over constrained but don't know how to fix it. I'm currently using Creo 11 simulate not the live one.  The assembly consists of a large steel block (approx. 4,400 lbs), with a T-shaped lift bar bolted to it. The lift bar is mounted using three screws: two on either end of the top of the T and one at the base. The lifting point is centered on the crossbar of the T (via an eyebolt), and in the simulation this point is fixed. Gravity is applied in the -Y direction using -386.1 in/sec².The fasteners are 1-inch diameter UNRC coarse-thread screws modeled using Creo Simulate's screw fastener feature. They are threaded directly into the block (no nuts), with preload disabled. The materials are high-carbon alloy steels. Analysis Type: Structural, nonlinear with large defo

Hi all ,   I have to simulate an Escapement mechanism's kinematics.     I want to know if modeling the mechanism in Creo is even feasible before I start.It works back and forth ('foliot') and is not only a two-wheel rotation that is impacted by diameter ratios. (Key innovation: the escapement) I want to know if using a Creo mechanism is even feasible.   I appreciate the answers in advance.

Hello Community,While working with Creo MBD and exporting the models in STEP AP 242 format for downstream use, I'm facing the following issues:Notes and Symbols MisalignmentAnnotations placed using the "Flat to Screen" display option are not exporting correctly.After import, their orientation and scaling appear distorted or inconsistent with the original combined state view.Semantic PMI Reference IssuesSome semantic references, especially surfaces selected for dimensions like shaft lengths, appear to be mapped incorrectly or changed post-export/import.I would like to know:Are there recommended export settings or best practices in Creo for ensuring accurate STEP 242 output (especially for semantic PMI and screen annotations)?Similarly, are there any import settings or tool-specific considerations for maintaining annotation fidelity in the target system?Is it advisable to avoid using “flat to screen” annotations when targeting STEP 242 format? Creo 8.0 user..

I am using Creo Parametric version 6.0. I need to use my drawing for multi-region purposes.  When I tried to find a solution, it led to controlling layer properties using the view manager option for drawing in the view tab and the combined state option. But I couldn't find the View Manager option in the View tab in the drawing file. Where shall i find the view manager option ?

Hello, I would like to hear some opinion on Creo Unite and experiences if someone have.I used Open and Import possibilities in Creo to open SolidWorks assembly files and assemble it in top level assembly. So when using open it stay in native (SW) form and in behind Creo make wrapper files which we can see on local folders (*SLDASM.creo, *SLDPRT.creo) but not on windchill. When using import it creates links to original SolidWorks files and save it in native Creo files with .asm and .prt formats. So what are better features in case of updating that SW files when someone send it to us, to use Open or Import. As i could see so far both have capabilities of updating when you overwrite newly SW assemblies in a local folder or checking in new version in Windchill. We even tested Open and Import with inseparable assemblies , so we received SW files with virtual components (inseparable or embedded in Creo), and Creo understood that well. So considering performance , that imported component

Hello, I receive the errror message listed in subject line when trying to post an NC file.  I have set the "ncpost_type" setting in the configuration editor previously.  I am using Creo 9.   Any help is appreciated.  

Is there away to make a representation that puts all sub models in a assembly to a defined user defined representation? So lets say that company standard defines that each part model has following custom representations: * Medium_Rep* Low_Rep So one way would be to have a representation in assembly level that is also called Medium_Rep and Low_Rep that would automatically set every part to their .respective representation. We can off course do this manually one by one, but is there a way to automate setting of user representation in bulk? Or even entirely automatically?
