Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi, I need a help to start a creo in a custom way likewise.If it start creo, the config.pro, templates & other files should be copied to local drive from the shared drive. Once i close the creo session & start fresh again it should remove the old files & then copy the same files again from shared drive to local drive.Note : this is a windchill based environment.Kindly help me with the procedure to perform this task.ThanksNaresh

I'm currently working on trying to evaluate the safety of the screws used for a lift bar of a block but seem to not be able to get reasonable values for the stresses inside the bolts. I believe that the model is over constrained but don't know how to fix it. I'm currently using Creo 11 simulate not the live one.  The assembly consists of a large steel block (approx. 4,400 lbs), with a T-shaped lift bar bolted to it. The lift bar is mounted using three screws: two on either end of the top of the T and one at the base. The lifting point is centered on the crossbar of the T (via an eyebolt), and in the simulation this point is fixed. Gravity is applied in the -Y direction using -386.1 in/sec².The fasteners are 1-inch diameter UNRC coarse-thread screws modeled using Creo Simulate's screw fastener feature. They are threaded directly into the block (no nuts), with preload disabled. The materials are high-carbon alloy steels. Analysis Type: Structural, nonlinear with large defo

Hi all ,   I have to simulate an Escapement mechanism's kinematics.     I want to know if modeling the mechanism in Creo is even feasible before I start.It works back and forth ('foliot') and is not only a two-wheel rotation that is impacted by diameter ratios. (Key innovation: the escapement) I want to know if using a Creo mechanism is even feasible.   I appreciate the answers in advance.

Hello Community,While working with Creo MBD and exporting the models in STEP AP 242 format for downstream use, I'm facing the following issues:Notes and Symbols MisalignmentAnnotations placed using the "Flat to Screen" display option are not exporting correctly.After import, their orientation and scaling appear distorted or inconsistent with the original combined state view.Semantic PMI Reference IssuesSome semantic references, especially surfaces selected for dimensions like shaft lengths, appear to be mapped incorrectly or changed post-export/import.I would like to know:Are there recommended export settings or best practices in Creo for ensuring accurate STEP 242 output (especially for semantic PMI and screen annotations)?Similarly, are there any import settings or tool-specific considerations for maintaining annotation fidelity in the target system?Is it advisable to avoid using “flat to screen” annotations when targeting STEP 242 format? Creo 8.0 user..

I am using Creo Parametric version 6.0. I need to use my drawing for multi-region purposes.  When I tried to find a solution, it led to controlling layer properties using the view manager option for drawing in the view tab and the combined state option. But I couldn't find the View Manager option in the View tab in the drawing file. Where shall i find the view manager option ?

Hello, I would like to hear some opinion on Creo Unite and experiences if someone have.I used Open and Import possibilities in Creo to open SolidWorks assembly files and assemble it in top level assembly. So when using open it stay in native (SW) form and in behind Creo make wrapper files which we can see on local folders (*SLDASM.creo, *SLDPRT.creo) but not on windchill. When using import it creates links to original SolidWorks files and save it in native Creo files with .asm and .prt formats. So what are better features in case of updating that SW files when someone send it to us, to use Open or Import. As i could see so far both have capabilities of updating when you overwrite newly SW assemblies in a local folder or checking in new version in Windchill. We even tested Open and Import with inseparable assemblies , so we received SW files with virtual components (inseparable or embedded in Creo), and Creo understood that well. So considering performance , that imported component

Hello, I receive the errror message listed in subject line when trying to post an NC file.  I have set the "ncpost_type" setting in the configuration editor previously.  I am using Creo 9.   Any help is appreciated.  

Is there away to make a representation that puts all sub models in a assembly to a defined user defined representation? So lets say that company standard defines that each part model has following custom representations: * Medium_Rep* Low_Rep So one way would be to have a representation in assembly level that is also called Medium_Rep and Low_Rep that would automatically set every part to their .respective representation. We can off course do this manually one by one, but is there a way to automate setting of user representation in bulk? Or even entirely automatically?

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.

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.
