Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello everyone,I would like to control the overall dimensions of my assemblies in Creo using ModelCHECK. The thing is, I design welded assemblies in Creo, and I need ModelCHECK to send me an alert message whenever I exceed a certain overall size.I’ve already managed to create an overall size parameter and display it in the ModelCHECK interface, but I haven’t yet succeeded in comparing it to my threshold values and triggering an alert when the overall size exceeds those limits.thank you for your help 😉 

Hey folks,I’m running into an issue with Flexible Modeling in Creo, and could really use your help. Here’s the situation:I have a plunger part model originally created in SolidWorks. When I import it into Creo, as expected, the feature tree from SolidWorks doesn’t come through — it simply shows up as an “imported geometry id.” That means I can’t directly edit the original features. So, my only practical option here is to use Flexible Modeling to make the necessary adjustments. Now, here’s the problem:When I try to drag or offset the highlighted cylindrical feature (the main body of the plunger), it’s only extending along the conical surface. What I actually need is for the entire front body of the model to extend together with the cylindrical feature — essentially, I want the whole front section to shift forward as the cylinder grows. I’ve attached screenshots and the Creo part file (.prt) for reference. Unfortunately, I couldn’t upload the original .sldprt file, so I’ve

Hi,I have a part that has a groove in the shape of an arc (see screenshot below).In the drawing of this part, I would like to draw an arc to show the 'middle line' of the groove. This arc should be in the 'centerline' linetype so --- . --- . --- .Similar to the centerline drawn in the 2nd straight groove.In the drawing screenshot below, the red arc is what I want, drawn in centerline.How can I best do this?PS. I am using Creo 4.0  (on Windows 10).This is the arc shaped groove

Tring to generate a Kelvin lattice structure. One that once generated cab be inserted into the lattice feature to generate various lattice's. Has anyone done this or managed to find a good method of generating one?  generated a rough wireframe but sweeps, extrudes and blends didn't seem to be the right way about it.  Lattice i am trying to re-create can be seen in the following file https://s3.amazonaws.com/servicecloudassets.formlabs.com/media/Materials/Silicone%2040A%20Resin/lattice_watch_Silicone40A_STLs.zip 

I have configured ModelCheck in Creo 11 to update part, assembly, and drawing parameters.When I run the ModelCheck in batch mode, only part and assembly files get their parameters updated and designated as per start file. Drawing parameters only update if I manually start ModelCheck Interactive. I've gone through the check file multiple times, and the settings (YNEW) are set identically for both Interactive and Batch mode in all checks so I would think they should work the same way whether I run Interactive or Batch.Again, the updates work for all files in Interactive, and for parts and assemblies in batch. What am I missing here? 

(view in My Videos)Creo 7 (yes, I know it is unsupported).  This issue has had me waste a couple of hours already and I am stumped. Model enclosed for review.   I have a trivial sketch that is not correctly constrained when using a relation to control a sketch which is a parent of said constrained sketch.   First sketch serves as parent of sketch 2   Sketch 2    Video showing that when driving sketch 1 using a relation to drive dimension d10 in sketch 1 the constraints in sketch 2 are not maintained correctly.   Anyone have any insight into why?      

Creo Shrinkwrap fail with error "Feature aborted. Geometry was overlapping." I have set the absolute accuracy to 0.0001, still i face the issue.

Hi, we are currently using Creo 11 with SAP as our PDM system. We also want to use Advanced Framework.When using AFX connectors which are not project specific (e.g. ITEM universal connector) we want the connectors to be loaded from the library. When inserting such a connector in an assembly the component is just in session with no path (Tools -> Model information). When the assembly then is saved, a copy is written in the working directory. When I close Creo and reopen the assembly the component is taken from the working directory. When I remove the component from the working directory and reopen the assembly in Creo, the component is loaded from the library.When using the standard Creo assemble feature it looks like the component is first opened in Creo and then assembled. Something must have changed since it was working with Creo 9. Is there any setting that could help getting the non project specific components directly from the library (with path reference to libr

Is it possible to create or redefine a simplified representation in Creo Parametric WITHOUT causing it to activate? I often will make adjustments to an arbitrary simp rep while the model is open in an empty rep. However, the only options I see are "Open", "Cancel", and "Apply". Pressing Open is the only way I know to actually save the changes made, which forces the simp rep to become the active rep in the model. This can be extremely frustrating when working with a massive assembly.I would love to see this screen have options like "Save", "Apply", and "Cancel" instead of the current set.

Hello! Is there a way to alphabetically sort the list of layers when importing an XML into creo cabling?  See the picture below for an example.  We use a lot of layers, so it's difficult to sort through a long list like this to find the proper one.Thanks!

I want to rotate this values as vertical. Could you anyone help me ? 

Is it possible to pattern a hole on a surface that is cone shaped, the direction of the holes must be normal to the surface. In solidworks this was very easy using a 3D sketch

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a simple Java application. I have jdk 17. I checked Creo Object Toolkit Java in the installation. I'm struggling to find what to put into my classpath/ if I need one at all. The requred .jar files I've seen mentioned online don't seem to be in my install, but those pertained to older versions. Any tips would help! Thanks,Adam

The Measurement Tool... (Analysis->Measure)... was changed was back around Creo 2.0 or 3.0 to a "new, improved" GUI. Back then I complained loudly to the PLM for modeling tools and he was annoyed that I thought the new tool was inferior to the old one.    In any decently sized assembly, I find the tool to be nearly useless. Tips like "pre-selecting the first reference" help but the should software function in a reasonable time span nonetheless. PTC says it "works to specifications" but taking 4 minutes to measure between two holes cannot possibly be "intended functionality".   What are your thoughts? Any tips for improvement? Or do we all just avoid measurements now?  

I've got a part with two dims that I've renamed from their original symbolic names (example: d123) to C and D.  How do I find their original dimension names if I've forgotten what they were?

When rendering images with the Render Studio package that comes with Creo 10. Bump maps, which I use all of the time to represent things like fiber wrapping on tanks, iso grid structure, weld beads, etc., are not being scaled per my inputs.  This is especially useful for representing threads. I have a basic raster image for threads that I apply to a threaded surface, and just scale it along the revolve axis as needed to represent the number of threads that should be there as a function of the cylinder length, and the thread pitch.  Thread bump maps are being rendered, but with a default scale of 1 along the rotational axis. These results are whether I use a parametric or cylindrical mapping for those textures. I don’t know if there is a setting I missed, a configuration value I overlooked, or what.

Hello, is there a method to know the file size in Mb of an assembly or part in creo or in windchill? Tank you, Michele Barile

I am trying to add onto a part which opened up from an assembly. I make the thing I was trying to make but the save buttons are all greyed out. Not sure how to fix this any help would be appreciated. The model also had a validation import failure, but I just clicked ignore. Idk if that's the cause but it still won't let me save. Thanks! 

I am working on generating a imperial drawing for a part that was designed using metric standards and the Model properties use mm as the base unit. The drawing is using dual dimensioning SECONDARY to allow me to dimension in inches. However the part also has several threaded holes that have hole notes generated. This means that the hole and thread depth are using the mm from the model when bringing it into the drawing (so instead of 1in depth the note looks to appear as if it had 25.4in depth). Is there a way to make the hole note that gets pulled in to use the secondary dimensions of inches that the drawing is using so that it matches the units of the drawing without setting the model properties to inches and updating the note in the model.

Is it possible to block the System colors, Interface and Theme options in Creo Parametric (10.0.6) from unauthorized user changes through config.sup?
