Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am trying to use the fill pattern feature in Creo Parametric 8.0. I am simply trying to create some small 3.0mm holes for vents for an electrical cover box. I have performed the following steps:I have created a rectangular sketch (used for the Fill Region/Grid) created a hole using the extrude feature that is positioned on the same surface within the bounding boxI have tried constraining to the center of rectangular sketch in "bullet point 1", but this doesn't make any difference in my end result I get a preview showing the features that will get patterned I click "OK" and the features are created very far out of the bounding box I created in "bullet point 1"I have tried creating the sketch within the pattern feature as well, with no luck  Every time I try this, using other shapes (hexagon's, squares, etc) as the feature shape, I never get the pattern actually made within the boundary box that Creo Parametric allows you to define. Any idea what is happen

I want to make an extrude to remove material for a relatively simple assembly. However, I found that the extrude doesn't work for smaller distance say 3 inches or to the reference plane I made a little bit from the end of the track. The extrude doesn't work when I say through all or to the plane further down around the bend of the track. 

I have a network drive where CREO is configured, when I try to open it, it gives me an error that it can't save or open, the folder is allowed to save, delete, and create.

I thought I could use any connected surface as a draft hinge in previous versions of CREO (2.0 - 4.0). I am currently using 11.0 and tried to use a curved surface as a draft hinge and it could not be selected. Am I mis-remembering or is this possible? Model above is representative only. Yellow is the surfaces to be drafted and green is the surface I wish to use  as a draft hinge.

I am using Creo Parametric Release N/A and DatecodeN/Aif I do "flip material removal side" after make section and arrowsthe lines are gone..

1) I have had a problem where the parts and sometimes assemblies get visually "corrupted". If it happens in parts it is still doable to work around it If I ignore it, as only the visual image gets distorted but I can still work with the part as normal (I can rotate, extrude, and everything normally). Things get tricky when a whole assembly starts to act this way, and I cant really ignore it. I suspect that is occurs the most when I open a part from the assembly and start working with it, but I am not very sure why.  I am not very knowledgeable of computers but these are my laptop specifications: processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz RAM: 16.0 GB Graphics: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe GraphicsCreo: Creo Parametric ver9 2)Another college of mine has a problem where Creo straight up just crashes and closes when it becomes a little heavy. The most we do is drawings and assemblies and it crashes for him. We rarely do simulations.  We suspect t

I have a mass system that I am designing isolators for.  I'm attempting to create a new coordinate system that represents the principal axes so that I can use that to identify locations and angles for the isolators.  My problem is that when I compute the principal axes, then create a new coordinate system at the location and orientation of the reported principal axes, the location is correct but the rotation is slightly askew and I can't figure out why.  In the picture below, I would expect my 1, 2, 3 axes and X, Y, Z to be on top of each other.  I uploaded the CAD files as well.    

Hello Everyone, I am having a hard time trying to calculate the roll angle for a involute curve. I can draw it as shown in the image but unable to calculate it. I've been working with the involute roll angle formula but i have not been able to make match what you see below in the picture.Any help world be great,And thank you in advance.Sean  

How can AFX (framework) use predefined parameters for the automatic component drawing function?

Hello forum members,I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.7.0 together with Creoson and Python to create a (more or less) fluid animation. In the files you can look at my code.My problem here is that whenever the value for the parameter is set and the regeneration is done the view changes so that the assembly is centered in the middle. Does anyone know how to do something against that?I'm grateful for every bit of help, thank you. Kind regards

HiIs there any option that we can include the Part description in Global Interference window so that while downloading the file, it will be easy for me to filter?

Hi to all,I have recently update my PTC product from Wildfire 5 to CREO 2. Until I have used Wildfire 5 I could import XML cabling file in Pro/E (from Zuken E3) with no problem. In Creo 2.0 when I try to import same file I receive an error about spools. In practice, CREO does not accept the separation character (ex. 0.5) of the spools. Infact if I modify manualy the XML file and change 0.5 in 0_5 the problem is solved. So my questions are:- how do I replace automatically "_" instead of "."? - why in NWF file, the same spools with "0.5" is properly interpreted by CREO with no error?Thanx

Does PTC offer perpetual license for Creo Parametric 11.0 or 12.0?

So if I create a threaded hole feature I can see the hole callout on screen giving me the details of the  that hole feature.BUTIf I create a counter-bored hole feature I get no hole call out.Why is this? If this is a setting that needs to be adjusted why is it not uniform by default?

Greetings:I'm really struggling to understand Creo's drawing module and one of the issues is hole callout.   I was told that the drawing mod.  does have that ability and you have to use 'Show Model Annotation"  weird but okay.  So I found out a how have hole call out show but the callout is not what I was expecting.   Need some help on this been at it for 1/2 cay and still can figure it out.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Is assembly with fix option a solid hold ? meaning it will not move . What does fix relate with in asm. Like what is it constrained to ? I hope its not free floating in space and moves uncontrol. ANDWhat is the difference between fix/default/csys ? THANKS IN ADV

 Hello, I want to customize the serial numbers shown in a repeat region table in Creo drawings. Instead of using the default linear numbering (1, 2, 3, ...), I’d like to apply a more structured format like; 1_11_2234_14_24_3567This is especially useful when I need to group sub-items under a main item, or indicate logical associations between parts in an assembly.I've tried using rpt.index and creating relations in the repeat region, but I’m not sure how to dynamically generate such custom values.  What’s the best way to set this up in Creo so that the table updates automatically based on the model?

Dear PTC Support Team,I am reaching out for assistance with an issue I’m experiencing while trying to activate a license using your License Indicator. I received an order number from my university and have been trying to generate a valid license based on that.While I am able to request the license and it does appear in my files, the status is always shown as “Not Eligible.” I have already attempted several steps to resolve the issue, including:Deleting and reinstalling the license filesCreating a new PTC account with a different email addressReinstalling the software entirelyUnfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the issue, and the license remains unusable.I would appreciate your support in resolving this. If you require any additional information, such as the order number or screenshots, I will be happy to provide them.Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,Leandro KnoopTechnical University Braunschweig

Good day.Has anyone encountered this error message in the log of messages?No relations have been defined for this model.I am seeing this in a few of our programs but cannot seem to find any "wrong" relations within the various parts or sequences.This creates an extremely long set of log messages which cannot seem to be resolved.I have found this article from Creo3 (2015) but with zero answer to this specific message inside, despite mentioning it... Currently on Creo 9.https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS196584If there are no relations and it  provides this error, is Creo indicating a requirement for relations in the sequences?Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, recently I am using CREO parametric 11 for a project, and I have found useful STEP files online that I need. However, when importing they seem to lose many features and even the ability to edit them in basic ways. Is there a way to import STEP files so that they can be edited?

Would anyone care to comment on the Mold Machining Extension (MMX)?  What does it offer over and above what is in the NC complete set module for 3 axis milling?

Hello Creo experts,I have a question regarding volume milling. I have often chosen to use rough or HSM sequences instead of volume milling for roughing operations. However, I've noticed that the cycle time for HSM and rough sequences is not as good as I expected. Despite being named high-speed milling, the cycle time is actually longer than the volume milling cycle for the same pocket size. Can you please advise on the parameters I may be missing to achieve a shorter cycle time compared to volume milling on the same size pocket?Regards,Asif Fisa

We use a method of joining to sheet metal using a process called tog-l-loc also known as clinching which cold-forms the part metal using a special punch and die to form a strong interlocking clinch joint. The result of the process is a round, button shaped extrusion on the die side of the assembly, and a small cylindrical cavity on the punch side. The clinch joint requires only the sheet metals that were joined. No external fasteners, or welding is utilized in the process.I'm trying to re-create the joint using punch or die, does Creo have the ability to punch(form) two sheet metal plates simultaneously in assembly? The thickness of both sheet metal thins out after the operation. See attached image. Let know your thoughts or ideas.
