Creo+ and Creo Parametric

HeyI have a Mould that has 3 BodiesWhen I make a drawing I want to show only one of each bodies. My goal is in the 1st sheet I will show the views of  top part of the mouldin the 2nd sheet I will show the views of middle part of the mouldin the 3rd sheet I will show the views bottom part of the mouldand in the 4th sheet I will show 1 view top part and another view middle part and so on.. each sheet will have top view, bottom view and side views of the body  Please let me know how I can do it

Creo Parametric 10.0The legacy model is in units of inches with relative accuracy; the new model is mm with absolute accuracy. The accuracies of the models are not “matched” the absolute accuracy of the new model is tighter than the legacy model relative value.I have a legacy model that was created using relative accuracy to develop a surface using a boundary blend feature. In order to match this geometry in a new design I have created this same boundary blend in Creo 10 but the topology on the interior of the quilts is not congruent when comparing models. In the new model I used copy->paste special to copy from the legacy model to the new model all of the curves used to create the boundary blend surface feature.Does anyone have any insight into this behavior? I have double checked that the boundary blend has been replicated using the same selections/constraints as the legacy model. All boundaries are free and there is no control point(s) defined in the boundary blends. The chains u

Hi, We have a new installation of Creo and Windchill., and I am setting up the system before rolling it out to our users. I want to be able to use IFX in a multi-user collaborative environment where everyone uses the same setup, thus having the same options. I also want to store the data in Windchill.. I have configured IFX to use catalogs of the fasteners we want to use, and I have created the dat and prt files to accompany this. The dat files contain all the instances that we need, and also adds specific parameters to the files on creation of the prt instance. All of this works perfectly when in a stand alone environment on my PC. (Thanks to Oliver of B&W for his help on this) The problem occurs when I try and enable the 'Windchill' options in the IFX options. I have uploaded the catalogs and data files to Windchill, and pointed the options to these folders:When I start IFX, it creates the folder ‘PATH_ABS_WINDCHILL_DOWNLOAD’ and populates the sub-folders correctly

Hey there, Issue: when sketching an arc, creo will not show the expected curve, only its end points. (Same for circles, then just its center point)The line becomes visible when zooming out (sometimes quite a bit), but I can not work with that – I need to see my lines. As far as I know that behaviour is to be expected for small sized sketches and/or far zoom-ins. My issue however is happening regardless of the dimensions, only dependent on zoom level and not heavily zoomed. This behaviour is new, it started this afternoon with no apparent reason.  Details:creo 12.4 Educational,  I have about one year experience using creo, using it frequently Windows 11 Dell XPS 17 from 2020, screen resolution at 3840x2400 GPU 0 (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060) + GPU 1 (some Intel UHD Graphics) config.pro: Graphics on win32_gdi (open_gl will render viewport into a black screen)Today I did add a second screen for a brief moment and adjusted the Windows Display Scaling from 250% to 100% and back to 250%.

The installation media contains the following installers:setup.exe setup-schools.exe setup-trial.exeWhen I double-click setup.exe, absolutely nothing happens:No installation window appears No error message is displayed No process remains running in Task Manager Running as Administrator does not help Windows compatibility mode does not helpHowever:setup-schools.exe launches successfully setup-trial.exe launches successfullyOnly the main setup.exe fails to start.Additional InformationThe installation media is readable. installmgr.dll exists in the installation directory. Windows 11 detects the files normally. Creo 3.0 was previously installed on this computer. The issue occurs before the actual installation process begins.QuestionsIs setup.exe known to have compatibility issues with Windows 11? Does setup.exe require additional components that may not exist in modern Windows versions? Is there a supported method to bypass setup.exe and install Creo Parametric 3.0 directly? Are there any

One interesting need that comes up for multiple reasons is the need to break out Family Table Instances into standalone Models.    There are many reasons for why you want to do this - sometimes it is to avoid Family Tables being shared with vendors/customers (basically a catalog of what you make/buy/use), other times is to avoid complex relationships and dependencies (I don’t need 4,000 bolts available tagging along with an assembly when only 5 are in it).  There are many other reasons why customers want to break these out - but the biggest one is sharing without sharing too much - standalone models are just easier to deal with for user, PDM, and PLM in the end.  But Family Tables have a purpose for sure - they are great for managing the library masters; exporting the individual models is often a need for more accountability and streamlined version control.  So we created an Excel Workbook that uses Nitro-CELL break out Family Table Instances into standalone models - saving them to a s

The ZIP archive contains Notepad++ UDL files for config.pro and drawing setup (dtl) options. I've created them for following CAD versions: WF4 (= Pro/E Wildfire 4) CEP5 (= Creo Elements/Pro 5, formerly Pro/E Wildfire 5) CP2 (= Creo Parametric 2) CP3 (= Creo Parametric 3) CP4 (= Creo Parametric 4) Basis for the options were the lists of Olaf Corten (thanks for them) http://proesite.com/UTIL/view_config.html and http://proesite.com/UTIL/view_setup.html.   General config.pro options get shown dark blue and bold. Hidden config.pro options get shown in a lighter blue, bold and italic. Comments get shown brown and can be folded, if they consist of several lines. Drawing setup (dtl) options alse get shown dark blue and bold.   To add a UDL file to Notepad++, choose "Language" and then "Define your language" in the menu. In the dialog which is opened then, choose the button "Import" and then the appropriate XML file.   https://github.com/DonChunior/Creo-Configuration-Files

GDT Advisor currently only supports traditional hole types.Our team uses Helicoils and Keenserts often, and including them as options in GDT Advisor would be very helpful. These holes require different notations, are there plans to include them soon?

There have been many requests for how to quickly Batch Export DXF, DWG, PDF, and STEP files out of Creo Parametric.  This is a common problem we all struggle - it is the boring stuff we do (a grind to setup and execute properly). We have just released some Excel Workbooks that you can download and use with Nitro-CELL (FREE or Purchased License Users) to help automate the batch exports of these formats.  They are normal Excel Workbooks that Nitro-CELL uses to execute the Batch Exports - can obtain them here: https://github.com/SimplifiedLogic/Nitro-CELL-FREE_AUTOMATIONS These are simple, easy to use, fast, and you can configure and improve them easily for your own purposes. The initial workbooks are specific to DRW, DXF, PDF, and STEP Export Automations (your local system settings and configuration options apply - so pen tables, export settings, etc.).  These automations assume an export target to a sub-directory for each file type (which is deleted/created during execution) so your res

Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the authors of Creoson and Creopyson for their work and for everything these tools make possible. We have developed a Python application to automate the export of DRW drawings into various output formats while applying specific file naming conventions.However, we are experiencing significant delays when our application requests Creo to access DRW files. For example, opening a relatively small drawing can sometimes take several minutes. We do not observe these delays when opening the same file directly in Creo.For reference, Creoson, our Python application, and all Creo files are hosted on an internal company server. We are trying to determine the source of these delays. Could they be caused by our Python application, Creoson, Creo itself, or the server/network infrastructure?Is there a way to monitor the communication between Creoson and Creo, enable detailed logging, or use another troubleshooting method to ide

I have a subordinate UDF that creates a set of features including an extrusion.  One of the extrusion dimensions is set as a variable dimension in the UDF and has a prompt assigned.   When the UDF is inserted, user is not prompted for the dimension.  instead, the existing value is used.  

I need help with the movement of a carousel. Does anyone have any idea how to make different parts move up and down while the carousel is rotating?

We have defined three datums:A - a planar surface with a flatness requirement B - a single hole, perpendicular to A C - a slotTo account for the "ISO Bug" (Annex I in ISO 5459:2024) , we want to use the position tolerance (see red box) with a DRF of A|(B-C) instead of A|B|C.But somehow Creo GD&T Advisor does not let us create that DRF via the “Establish DRF” functionality: Is it possible to create custom DRF in GD&T advisor?

Hi, I am trying to create a shock model with spring and damping parameter which include compression damping and rebound damping. as Creo allows us one damping i tried by give the user defined force as damping with domine condition, but still i couldn’t find a proper way to execute it on user defind force reference point and measure parameter creation referencecan any one help me in this asap.

As shown in the image below, I have defined a pipe spec that has a particular color assigned to it (in this case, green). This spec is shown to be this way in the associated Pipe Spec Directory file as well. However, despite all of this, the pipe keeps showing up as blue! I’ve updated the pipe model and regenerated the assembly but nothing seems to work. What might be causing this issue? 

Hi,Would anyone know how to prevent Creo 10 from creating cap surfaces for tapped holes while using the Creo Parametric Hole feature?The surface shown in the image below is not the side wall of the thread but a cap surface at the top of the thread.  This makes you have to query select the hole which is an extra step when assembling parts to the tapped hole at the top-level assembly.Thanks for any help you can provide,Don A  

Creo Version: Creo 10.0.8.0 and Creo 12.4.4.0.I’m trying to figure out where the metrics files are being written.It looks like files are being written somewhere.   But Windows 11 search is terrible, so it can’t fine files I can see with my eyes.I have the config_init.mc option set as follows.DIR_METRICS    C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_metrics DIR_METRICS_NT C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_metrics DIR_REPORT_NT    C:\ptc\mc_out\mc_report (This works, so I know I have write permission)Image from ModelCHECK configuration tool shows files are being written somewhere.  (probably) 

Hi everyone,We've recently started using Creo 13 and noticed something about the AI assistant feature. In the demos and presentations, the AI assistant provides really impressive answers — but when we try it ourselves, it doesn't seem to generate any responses, and it doesn't appear to be running as a beta version either.Do we need to do something specific to enable the beta version, or is it simply not available yet and we need to wait?We have customers who are expecting this feature based on what they've seen in the demos, so we want to make sure we're not delivering an incomplete solution. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Why are new features already introduced in Creo Parametric 12.4.2 and 12.4.3 listed as new in Creo Parametric 13.4.0? 

Running up against what might be a bug in the VB API when using Excel.This is simply trying to get the PTC-provided example listSubAssemblyComponent to function in Excel VBA rather than its original VB. I intended to make this the basis of code to extract the model tree into an Excel spreadsheet for internal engineering management purposes - old way we do this is to save the model tree from Creo, and import it into a spreadsheet via VBA macros, but I want a more streamlined way to do it. (This ain't necessarily it, and I'm open to better alternatives.)It appears to allocate something to currentPath (typing ?currentPath is Nothing in the immediate window returns false). But it hangs up every time on the line with currentPath.Leaf, returning the message:Run-time error '-2147352567 (80020009)': pfcExceptions::XToolkitGeneral ErrorI don't see any useful explanation of this error. I've fiddled around with everything I can think up on how to get around it, but I'm starting to believe it's a

Hello there,  In the past, I had some trouble keeping eye on the syntax for some of config files for Creo. There are so many different config files, and each use their own syntax, and if you miss just one char Creo won’t load it. It was especially tiresome for me when I wanted to add IFX fasteners to the library with custom parameters and such.For a long time I had an idea to make a little software that can handle all the config options for Creo. I’ll be honest here, I’m not and expert programmer, I just know enough that I know my limits, so it is clearly made with AI. But a tool is just a tool for me, and I’ll be using it for my self, and if anyone interested, I’m open to sharing it for free.If you are interested what functions would you like to see in it? Would you be open to test it with me?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.4.0 Imported incremental IDX files (sent to Creo from Allegro PCB editor) remove the rounds/fillets around my board and any cutouts that I had previously. We need to accept the change to the board because the board thickness is changed, but this also forces us to accept the removed fillets and cutout. How do we fix this?
