Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi Folks,Using Creo 7.0.8.0In the 'Shape' sub-tab of the 'hole' modeling feature ribbon, I recall the graphic used to show the tap-drill depth. I don't see this anymore. Nonetheless, is there a way to add drill depth to the note callout properly? This is omitted and only tap-depth is shown. Thank you. 

how creo 7 works in thermal analisys in a steady state ? I mean as input for thermal load i've to consider Heat Flux (W/m^2). This means that load is time dependent. I use a load of 5000W/m^ 2 on a steel structure with 30mm thicknes and i get more than 170°c of temperature. Teoric calculation give me 21 °c after 20 seconds.Does creo consider Fourier time to get Steady State: t= Thickness^2/(Thermal Diffusivity) ? and if it consider that how does it calculate that. Because in material specification ther is not thermal diffusivity value.thanks for answering

We run numerous versions of Creo (7, 10, & 11) to support various clients. The whole mapkey.pro change that PTC has made in Creo 11 has wrecked our config.pro system setup. We have a somewhat complicated setup, so without getting into that I will just explain exactly what I want to try to accomplish. I need to take the users config.pro files and separate them into 2 files; a config.pro with no mapkeys in it, and a mapkey.pro file. I need prior Creo 11 versions (specifically 7 & 10) to load the users mapkeys.pro file from the startin dir. Does anyone know a way I can achieve this? My goal is to keep all of the config.pro files neutral across all versions. I do not want to manage separate user config files for every version, this creates a admi file management nightmare for the way we have our system settings in place.

My company has been using family tables for fasteners for quite a while and we want to try to use intelligent fastener. All the family tables are stored in Windchill. Is there a way we can use those pre-existing models/family tables with IFX without causing issues across our assemblies?

I would like to suggest an improvement in the Style module and have the Merge, Trim, Extend, Thicken Without a doubt, this would make things easier for users who use this feature. 

Hello,I want to remove hidden lines in my half section (circled red in attached picture) but still have hidden lines activated in the remaning part of the view (circled blue in attached picture) - how can I make this happen? I'm currently on Creo 11Thankful for all the help I can get./ Andreas

How would I add this design to the curved surface of a cylinder? (Creo 8.0)   

I have large assembly drawings that we show the sequence of assembly with various exploded views. We have the full BOM which is usually set to the master simple rep, this has all parts, hardware in the assembly. we also have many assembly steps which I have been making by an saved exploded view with corresponding simple rep (to hide everything not needed for that particular assembly step). Normally in the drawing I show the master rep for the view and use component display to turn off the unwanted parts. This allows me to create associated balloons to the BOM. What I want to do is find a way to create a BOM for each simple rep (exploded assembly step view) and have the item numbers the same as the full BOM (master rep). I don't know if this is possible by writing some sort of relation that looks at the part number in the master and then assigns that item number in the other BOM's of different rep's. I've done a bit of relations writing but this is outside my comfort zone. I can't help

I'm upgrading from Creo 2 to Creo 8. We use Notes in the model to make string parameters from multiple parameters and have them on different lines. And do I really need to make and place a note in the model then erase it to have this function.As I'm working through it it seems like I do but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I am opening CEDM models in Creo Parametric. When calculating the mass properties of a mixed assembly (composed of CEDM and Creo Parametric files) I noticed that the Modeling files have the mass at 0 (PRO_MP_MASS). Is there a way to calculate it? All this without modifying the original Modeling file.Thanks to all.Bye Marco

I have added IEAC (Exclude elements autogem control) to my fixed constraint areas. Autogem mesh also reflects the IEAC control. However, in the solver output file, i still see a warning" Excluded elements may be needed near constrain". Is this normal ?

I am using Creo 6.0 and often have issues with these 4 sided tangent boundary blends. The error says it fails to create tangency in the corner. Is there a reason for this? I understand the bounding curves have to be tangent to neighboring surfaces, and I even experimented with making the curves tangent to the whole neighboring surface and not just the neighboring surface parting line. I have tried 3 sided boundary blends but it often got tight in 1 corner and failed. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.5.0For hole making manufacturing sequences, for whatever reason ours defaults to all models instead of reference model. To be more clear, I'm referring to when you click on the Mill tab>Holemaking Cycles>Standard (or whatever floats your boat)>References>Details>Options...the dropdown here defaults to All Models, and I am wanting it to default to reference models, since i am setting my reference model. As you can imagine, when we go to make a new program based off of an existing one, and we remove a fixture component, it causes manufacturing sequences to fail because they are being tied to these random models instead of just to the reference model.I have searched config.pro options and the knowledge database and I'm finding nothing that can point me in the right direction on whether the default to this can be set when creating new sequences. If this does not already exist, can this be added as a config.pro option?

I am trying to run a Kinematic type analysis. I could not see the option to enable Termination Condition for the analysis in Kinematic type of analysis. How can I terminate the run after meeting a certain specified condition? Thanks!

I have a family table with a bunch of holes that cannot be patterned because they are in a family table and due to other geometry constrains, the chamfer cant be associated with each hole. Is there a way at the end of the model tree to just chamfer all holes on a surface without specifically picking edge geometry?

Hi Guys,  I would like to apply a chamfer to the highlighted edge.  But every time I apply the chamfer it runs along the entire circumference.  How do I apply it only to one edge. 

In PTC article CS363748 are for the various Creo main versions TOOLKIT sample projects attached.However, only the Debug configuration is preconfigured for these.   As our company is currently working with Creo 10.0, I have taken a closer look at the example project for this version.However, my statements also apply to the projects of the other versions.The Debug configuration can be compiled and linked, but in my opinion it is not correctly preset:The project setting "Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Runtime Libary" should be changed from "Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)" to "Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd)", shouldn't it?Even if this change is made, the project can still be successfully compiled and linked.However, if you then add the line "#include <string>" to the other header files at the beginning of the program code, the DLL can no longer be created and the following error messages appear in the output console:   Rebuild started...1>------ Rebuild All started:

I am using Creo 10.0.7.0.I have created a table in a Creo drawing where I want to enter values—particularly fractional values—in a specific format, as shown in the first image below. However, I haven’t been able to figure out how to achieve this formatting.I’ve tried adjusting the config.pro settings and other available options, but it's still not working. Currently, the values appear as shown in the second image. I hope you can see the difference in formatting between the two examples.   

Hi, I was creating a drawing for the cabling which was done in 3D(CREO 10). While trying to create BoM using repeat region I was not able to include spools as item in BoM. Can anything be done so that the BoM contains spool details also as items and quantity be the total length of each spools required. I was able to create an additional table with spool details but was not able to combine both. Thanks in advance

I have 21 instances in a family table.  The generic contains all the parts for all instances.  I'm creating a  drawing parts list (BOM) for each instance.  I would like the instances with common items to have the same find number fixed in the parts list.  I'm aware you can fix index on the part list (BOM), but I would prefer not to do that on 21 instances.  Is it possible to fix the find index numbers on the generic and have that propagate to the instances as parts list are created for each instance? I'm using CREO 9

Anyone know if it's possible to reverse the zoom direction when using the scroll wheel?In Pro/E rolling the wheel towards you zooms in whereas in every other application I use it zooms out.I understand PTC's thinking in that by rolling the wheel you're manipulating the object however the de facto standard of every other app assumes you're manipulating the eye point.Thanks,Mike FosterATK

Is it possible to open SolidEdge model in Creo assembly using Creo Unite Technology?

I am looking for a way to make a radial pattern given a horizontal dimension from the circular centerline and a radial dimension from a point on that centerline and the spacing is a chord length.     The first hole is 6" horizontal from the center line. The beginning of the radius in 16" below the horizontal centerline. The radial dimension between holes is a chord length of 4". To complete this I backed into it by calculating the angular spacing given the radius and the chord length. Is there an easier way to pattern this than manually calculating the angle?

We are running Windchill 12.0.2.12 with Creo 9.0.7.0. In the last few weeks, we are seeing workspaces suddenly going to offline mode. Windchill was installed over a year ago and Creo 9.0.7 was installed in November. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior? If not, then I will work with our IT department and see if there is something with the network that would cause this. I think I have the config.pro options set to maintain connections.
