Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello,Why isn't it possible to determine the angle using the table pattern?If possible, how can I make it work? The 40° in the picture.

Whichever file I import into Creo (I tried two separate vendors with Inventor, random Grabcad models, and even exporting simple block from Creo and then reimporting it back) - it only imports as a surface. The geometry is fine (no errors) and I can easily solidify it, but I don't seem to be able to find a way how to do this automatically. I am importing large assemblies made by subcontractors with hundreds of parts, so turning each part into solid isn't an option.  I have all geometry "enhancements" disabled, and all the other settings seemingly correct:   Regardless, the Import feature always defaults to "Add Surfaces".Most often I am able to just change it to "Add bodies", or Solidify the geometry outside the "Import" feature - so there are no issues with the geometry I assume:  I looked but I couldn't find a config.pro setting to force Creo to default to "Add bodies" instead of "Add Surfaces" (or other means to solidify the geometry). Is there any

I am working on a project to create a UDF library for screw threads in Creo 10.0.4.0 The goal is to have the user enter the nominal OD and TPI for UN threads and get the appropriate geometry driven by relations based off ISO 228 My problem is that it is unclear how to implement these. When I follow the instructions here after selecting features ( To Define Variable Parameters in a UDF ) the dialogue box suggested on step 3 just doesn't open, and the dialogue box stays at 'All elements have been defined. Select element(s) or action(s) from the dialogue box'. Features that are relation-driven (like the OD of the cylinder that constitutes the screw, or the pitch values used for the helical sweep ) are not eligible as variable elements or dimensions either (google results suggested you sometimes need to set the features/dimensions that are parameterized as variable before you use the variable parameters option, but this hasn't worked for me) My next idea is to just

Is there a limit to the length of the mapkey that I can run in the BaseSession.RunMacro(String mapkey) command in JLink toolkit? I have code that dynamically generates a mapkey to extend its functionality. I group all the mapkey parts that it generates together in one long String. Then I run that macro right before returning control to Creo. I decided to do it this way, to make the mapkey run sequentially.Depending on the number of parts in the assembly, this mapkey becomes long. Very long. Creo hangs when control is returned to it. I can only force quit Creo at that point. The debugger runs until the end of the code and then returns control to Creo, and it starts to hang. On shorter mapkeys, it is not a problem. Control returns to Creo. The mapkey gets executed. The code functions. The problematic mapkey is 4000 lines and 200 000 characters long. Is it known what the limit is? Either a formal limit or a practical limit? Then I could decide when to develop or use a workaround

Hi, I am currently converting legacy drawings drawn using AutoCAD into 3D models and draft 2D from the 3D models. I would like to draft these 2D in such a way that is applicable for all the regions. For example, we would like to show the annotations in Japanese if it's been accessed from Japan, or in English with metric units if it is accessed from India or in English with imperial units if it's been accessed from US. As all the three formats use a common ".PRT"/".ASM" file, is there any recommended way to meet my requirement without the need for creating multiple ".DRW" files? Thanks in advance. Software: CREO Parametric 6.0

I am looking to take a class that will walk me through creating a sketch from scratch and add features/cutouts/extrude etc Which class/classes do you recommend?

It would be helpful if there was a way to call a special check profile in the condition.mcc whenever the model contains one or more parameters that begin with "USR_". This would, for example, prevent extra parameters from being deleted in ModelCHECK whenever a parameter that begins with USR_ is present. Or is there another way to delete all parameters in a model except those beginning with "USR_" or "CONF_"? This would, for example, help bring old data up to date.Here two  examples:IF (CONF_*) config=(check/mat.mch)(check/kon.mch)(start/mat_mm.mcs)(start/kon_mm.mcs)(constant/mm.mcn)(status/status.mcq) (name/Configurator_File)IF (USR_*) config=(check/mat.mch)(check/usr.mch)(start/mat_mm.mcs)(start/usr_mm.mcs)(constant/mm.mcn)(status/status.mcq) (name/Userparameter_File)

Hi everyone, I recently downloaded Creo 11 on a machine with Creo 7 in order to test something. After deciding to test on my virtual machine, I uninstalled Creo 11. I now get this error in Creo 7: When checking the logs, the error reads: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread 3772. I've tried clearing cache and reinstalling. Any ideas?

I'm using Creo 9.0.9.0 When I open the Creo Parameteric Options window, via the command File -> Options -> Options the window the dialog window that pops up is so wide that the options are  not on the screen. They are shoved off-screen to the left. I can't resize the window with the usual Windows arrow keys, mouse clicks, etc. It will let me make the window wider, but does not allow any decrease of window width.  Is there a way to access the window settings for this dialog to correct this situation? I tried looking for any sort of settings in the Windows registry, but nothing seems to be stored there.

Workflow for creating an assembly process animation video using an explode state in Creo Parametric  

HiDoes anyone know how I can export my multifluid results from a transient creo parametric flow analysisI am using Creo Parametric 12.4.0The button "save animation" does not work  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0How to identify any part used in what are the assemblies?Basically, need to know, in how many assemblies, the specific part been used.

While creating a part with Model Based Definition utilizing semantic references, when we select an annotation, the edges and related surfaces highlight, but in a way that’s hard to distinguish edges/surfaces. When we select “Semantic Query” the highlights are much more obvious and useful. Looking for a method or setting for making the “Semantic Query”-style highlight for annotations the default behavior (without having to click semantic query first). Snapshots of the current behavior and desired behavior when selecting annotations that contain semantic references below.  Current behavior upon annotation selection: Desired behavior upon annotation selection:(Note: image above shown utilizing semantic query, desire is for that step to not be necessary)

Good morning everyone,I’m working in Creo Parametric 9.0, and I’d like to know whether it’s possible to directly convert a standard sketch into a cosmetic sketch, without needing to recreate the geometry from scratch.So far, I haven’t found a straightforward method, I'm wondering if there’s a dedicated feature or workaround that allows this kind of conversion.If anyone has experience with this or knows an efficient solution, I'd greatly appreciate your input.Thank you in advance for your support!

Hi, i have a bit more complex problem which actually consistas of two simple problems.Model structure of most of our hoses looks like thisbut for some reason when doing save as in windchill it does this to analysis featureit measures only part of a curve (composite curve)using JS API i need to get curve and check if it's a parent of a analysis but here comes an interesting part when referencing part of a composite curve it still creates parent connection how can i check if analysis references whole curve but not it's parts and in case of referencing only part of it repair analysis feature to reference whole curve When i'm using model.ListFeaturesByType(false, pfcFeatureType.FEATTYPE_COMPONENT) i'm getting feature curve which than i can't convert to curve to use listElements() when i want to get it from model.ListItems(pfcModelItemType.ITEM_CURVE); it doesn't provide anything like there is no curves in model but they clearly are even in the tree 

Hello, I have created a drawing template with bom tables pre-set so when I create the drawing, everything is already in place. The issue is, I want it to read a specific simp rep on creation. And right now it seems that "Master" is the only option? I have already searched for threads about this and found one..."Creating Assy Dwgs - Is there a way to pre-set the Simplified Rep?" However, the post is from 2014 and the links to a solution seem broken. I'm hoping that since that was posted 11 years ago, surely they have come up with a proper way to address this? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!  

Hello everyone,The settings for the cutting planes do not correspond to the ISO standards (ISO 128-2:2022, ISO 128-3:2022). - The end segments should be marked with a long-dashed dotted wide line.- The end segment must be exactly long-dashed-long- The arrow must be centred on the last long segment. I can't find these settings anywhere.Is there a solution? We all want a digital MBD world, but at the moment we still need 2D drawings, so a standardised representation is absolutely vital.

Somewhere along the way, I increased the size of the window that pops up when you execute a File->Options->Options from the ribbon. When I do this, it brings up the usual cascading list of main options, sub options, etc. But, annoyingly, the window I see is so wide that the actual selections are pushed off the main screen. What I find when I attempt the normal Windows thing of grabbing the side of the window and moving inwards is that it doesn't allow this. I can make the window larger in the horizontal direction, but it will not get smaller. Anyone know if this is something i can adjust via a .ui file of some sort, or do I need to access the registry to fix it? In the old days I'd be able to hit the registry and find where this window is getting its initial size specs, nowadays we're locked away from such things.

Hello, I'm working with Creo 10, and I need to do some modifications in a model and its external data programatically (through Protoolkit API) based on  some information contained into a XML file which is the primary content of a Windchill Document. I'm wondering if there are methods defined in API which can help me to do that, I don't want to modify the file, only read it. I tried to retrieve the document by using the "ProServerObjectsCheckout" function but it didn't find anything. I'm not sure this is possible since I don't see defined any appropriate handler (ProSolid, ProDrawing, etc.) for WT Documents. Thanks.Ivan B. 

Hi   Is there any API or some approach to verify whether sketch is fully constrained or not? I can get section from sketched feature using Toolkit. From section, I can verify number of dimension and number of constrains... But there is no such thing whether sketch is fully constrained or not.   Any thought?   Thanks and REgards KEtan

Hello, I am attempting to run a structural design study within Creo Simulate 7.0.4.0. There is a pop-up window that says "The selected functionality requires a Basic Creo Simulate license". From what I read online, you need three licenses (MECELITEUI, MECELITEENG, and CREOSIM_Standard) to access the basic functionalities of Creo Simulate. From ptcstatus, I can see that I am not pulling a MECELITEENG license (even though that license is available on the server).PTCSTATUS shows this:License In Use Free------- ------ ----PROE_DesignEssH Uncounted, LockedPROE_EssentialsPMHome Uncounted, LockedMECELITEENG_License Uncounted, LockedMECELITEENG_License 0 8MECELITEENG_License 0 34MECELITEUI_License Uncounted, LockedMECELITEUI_License 1 7MECELITEUI_License 0 34MathcadPrime Uncounted, LockedMathcadPrime 0 2PROE_EssentialsP 0 8PROE_DesignEss 25 3PROE_EssentialsPM 0 6MECBASICENG_License 0 3MECBASICUI_License 0 3MathcadPrimeSDK 0 2CREOSCHEM_Lite 0 8CREOSCHEM_Lite 0 34CREOSIM_STANDARD 1 2My

I received a config.pro file containing mapkey settings. Some of them work, while others don't execute the intended commands. If I manually set the command via Creo → Options → Mapkeys Settings, it works, but it doesn’t allow me to save the changes, so the old command is active again after restarting the software. Exporting and importing didn’t help either.The command was assigned to the vb keyboard combination, and I tried to set it to the View Bottom orientation.Is it possible to overwrite an existing mapkey so that it persists after restarting Creo, or can only unused keyboard combinations be reliably assigned for this purpose?
