protoolkit: When ProPDFExport exports U3D PDF and opens it, it shows a 3D data parsing error

I don't want to see the warning "Cannot set system parameter for CopyGeom function". This is annoying and has no added value.How can I set this warning to no longer appear? Workaround: See CS418177, needs to be done every time when changes are made, What we use it for: We use skeletons with Publish Geometries, they are published to several sub skeletons and parts Which causes each time a lot of warnings when changes are made to the skeletonsImpact on us:We have to deliver our models clean and clear without warnings Each time we have to edit the External Copy Geometry when the warning appears So it is time consuming when you have a lot of models where this occur

I am working on a project and would like to know if it is possible to access the images used when placing UDFs with the out-of-the-box UDF functionality. I want to place the UDF programmatically using named planes, axes, etc. However, if a plane, axis, or other feature is not found, I would like to show an image to help the user select the correct feature. Currently, I can place a UDF fully if all the named planes and features exist. I am looking for ways to handle situations where features are not found.

When using piping, you can select a material file in LineStock. When I select different materials, nothing happens to the pipe solids. When I change the Weight/Length, the weight of the pipe solids change.When I change piping_material_source to material_dir, again, nothing changes.Just want the pipes to get the right weight and appearance.Is this yet another Creo option that doesn't work or am I missing something?Using Creo 10

I'm creating a process plan (work instruction) of a design assembly.  In the design assembly there is an 'included' item that appears in the tree.  Seems the process plan module will not let me select this item for use in one of my assembly steps..  I can 'add' the identical assembly to the step but I'd really like to consume the one that already exists. I know the process plan module is a niche  and probably gets little use by most but any help appreciated. Creo 8.0.0.0

I am looking for a way to prevent the pop-up dialog box on start-up that shows Advanced_Assembly_SET feature not obtained. Trail file:!%CIWelcome to Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0.! warn_lic_dlg: warning! : Features Not Obtained:! : Advanced_Assembly_SET! : EXPERT-MACHINE_SET~ FocusIn `warn_lic_dlg` `ok`~ Activate `warn_lic_dlg` `ok` This causes the ptcdbatch program to "hang-up" when running task actions. CREO 8.0

I need copy a spec driven piping assembly that is repeated a dozen times in my design. The only difference is the component PID numbers such as the valve numbers will be different. Is there a way to change or add these numbers after I have copied the piping assembly?

We're using Creo 4.0 which is integrated with TC 11.3. When wer're saving pdf from Creo to TC , PDF gets attached as Colored file. But we want it as monochrome. How to change that?

Title pretty much sums it up. Trying to pull the text from one drafting note and use it elsewhere. Technically in a table cell, but keep it related. Using 9.0.6.0

Hello everyone,I've been working as a working student with Creo for quite some time now, so I decided to use it for a university project. Therefore, I downloaded the Creo Parametric Student 10.0 version and I'm on the verge of despair because I can't seem to find or insert a drawing template frame.Unfortunately, the download didn't come with any frames or title blocks, and after intensive internet research, I still couldn't find any. I've already gone through all the relevant posts here as well.Can someone help me and provide an A2 or A3 frame for this version? I've already manually created the title block according to ISO standards, but I can't find the exact data for creating the frame with letters, etc.I would be extremely grateful for any help!!!

Hello PTC community,I'm trying to simulate the stress that results at the mounting points when an object is suspended by a crane using only two points. The stress is caused solely by gravity.I tried to simulate this by rigidly constraining the mounting points of the object, but I'm concerned that the simulated stresses will be significantly lower than in reality due to the rigid constraint.The center of gravity (COG) of the object is naturally located directly below the mounting points. Would it be better to ditch the gravitational load and instead apply a calculated force (F = m·g) directly to the bolt holes? If so, how should I constrain the model? Nothing seems to be working for me. I have attached a simplified sketch of the problem. Thanks for your help! 

I am working with a C++ Toolkit program on Creo 10.0.5.0 that recursively searches through an assembly's parameters. The problem I am facing is when it runs into family table parts. When I attempt to retrieve the component features from a family table instance it only ever returns the components from the generic.So then when the code attempts to recurse on certain parts in the family table generic it fails because those aren't in the instance and therefor not in session. I have confirmed that the assembly I am reading parts from is the instance as GetFullName() returns filename<filename> corresponding with the instance.

Hello, I'm trying to create a pattern of slots where the center of the radius of the slot follows a curve but the spacing is driven by a linear dimension. Using Creo 10. Tried using pattern along a curve but the spacing distance is along the curve not linear. Unchecking the "Follow Curve Direction" allows the slots to remain parallel. Any suggestions? Thank you,Shane 

I have begun evaluating Creo 7 and have noticed that any mapkey that imports a config file is creating flashing windows when executed. These same mapkeys did not cause flashing windows in Creo 4.   I have the config option  visible_mapkeys no this has no affect on the behavior of these windows in Creo 4 or 7 in the context of the mapkeys in question. Does anyone have any idea as to why the windows are now visible in Creo 7? Any ideas on how to not have mapkeys create any visible windows unless pausing for input?   This is the mapkey that is the root cause of the behavior. Every mapkey that has this nested into the definition causes flashing windows to appear.   !* Load config file mapkey .ifcp @MAPKEY_NAMEImport config .pro;@MAPKEY_LABELRead config;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdRibbonOptionsDlg` ;\ mapkey(continued) ~ Select `ribbon_options_dialog` `PageSwitch

Creo 8.0Hello!I am student using Creo for my CAD course.I am at the end of the project and I have to use the ISO M"x" screws, which schould be in the creo Standard library (the course says it) to "screw" some parts together.However the library don't appear, I thought it was because of the config.pro file but I'm not sure and, anyways, have no idea of how to correct it.Here are some screenshots,Thank you for your help, I wish you a beautiful day.

Hi, I'm using Creo 11. I wish to know if it is possible to directly open a solidworks sldasm file and use the inseparable assembly/embed function so that I can keep all the data/childparts so that when I upload to windchill I only have the one assembly.

Is it possible to control the increment when using 3D Dragger to drag the section during creating Cross Section or to have a toggle in offset value area to increase or decrease the value for example by 0.5 or 1.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 8.0 (connected) Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0Hello, I need to make some custom color palettes for our organization. I haven't been able to find a detailed rundown of the structure of dmt files, and would like some help determining the meaning of each variable.I have seen opened some files and have seen:ambient_color - with 4 values scaled from 0 to 1diffuse_color - same values as ambientspecular_color - same values as ambient(Perhaps three of these values are scaled RGB, but I am not sure how to utilize these three sets of color definition.)diffuse - value 0-1ambient - value 0-1shine -value 0-1intensity - value 0-1reflection - value 0-1transparents - value 0-1index_of_refraction - value 0-?I believe some of the second group are tied to parameters than can be edited in the appearance manager, but the scaling is different and I don't think it has all of the listed variables as options.Any information or guides you can offer on creation of a custom d

hi All  i want to write a simple code which exports an active model into a step file.  nevertheless, i do not fully understand how the ExportIntf3D works. is there somewhere an example where i can check? i think its no big deal for someone who knows what he is doing 😄

I have had running Windows 10 and Creo 11.0.3.0.After I have upgrading Windows to 11, Ansys in Creo will not start. Creo stops with a fatal error. If I start Creo as an administrator, if runs with out problems. Does any of you know the problem, and that is it I shall have rights to? Allan

I'm trying to export a drawing as a vector based PDF for suppliers to create files from. I have looked through all the export settings I can find:File>Save As>Type:PDF>Options>General/ContentFile>Save As>Export>PDF>Settings>General/ContentFile>Print>Settings>Print>Microsoft Print to PDF>Properties>AdvancedFile>Options>Configuration Editor>{literally anything to do with pdfs, vectors and rasters]ChatGPT suggested a number of options that don't appear in Creo 9.0 such as changing the 'Output Mode' to Vector, changing 'Raster Quality' and setting the PDF export method to 'PDF (2D vector)'. I feel like I've exhausted all the options I can find apart from maybe the strokes and pentable options but I think they'll still save as a raster without some other option checked. Does anyone have any guidance?

Hello, So right now I am designing a model with multiple assemblies and each having their own constraints and connections. I want to ask if it is possible to assemble all of them to one final model? if yes will all connections and constraints of each assembly remain?

Hello,we are migrating from Creo9 to Creo10 but I have an issue with the embedded browser only when I open Windchill.When opening Windchill both Workspace and Commonspace, the browser resolution is very very small and vey difficult to read.   I've changed the DPI from the parametric.exe configuration but I either have this very small browser line or very blurred icons of the Creo software. For information I have no issue with the Creo9 we have used so far, same config, same DPI configuration, different outcome. Do you have any other suggestion about how to solve this issue? Thank you!BR,Giandonato
