Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Release Wildfire 3.0 and DatecodeM070Hello. I have a customer who are using ProE Wildfire 3 + Pro Concept. He recently changed his computer and needed a new license archive due to HOST ID Change. The license has been updated correclty for ProE Wildfire 3 and the soft is now working, but, se has a troubleshooting with his soft Concept. Could you help us to determinte possible causes which are provoking the message attached below?Here are the errors that I facedptc_setvars.bat

I've consistently had this problem in Creo with curve patterns. You can see in the pictures that I have several sketches (3, 4, and 5) made to represent the horizontal curve of my bolting perimeter (shown by the rectangle). I'm doing this to control the bolt perimeter's major dimensions (length and width) but have the bolt hole pattern equally spaced along each side. I don't care about the hole center to center, I only care that they're equally spaced. The intuitive approach is to make a sketch with a projection of one of the rectangle sides as I've done with sketch 3. I then use a curve pattern to generate the instances, but to my dismay the start point is at the opposite end to where I made the original hole and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the start point. The inability to change the start point is very surprising considering most other features (sweep, datum point along curve) have the option to change start points. I've seen a solution previously to unlink th

While clicking around to see what different options did, I selected Single part surface and chose a surface in my General View, applied it, and thought "oh, this is hot garbage."Have we found a way to get out of this, or reverse it once you've chosen it? I can technically get my view back "looking" normal by choosing a surface that's not part of the part used to generate the general view, but the options are stuck like this as well as the View Display options are mostly grayed out. So my question is there some magical hotkey command to fix this or is there a way to reset a General View back to it's default options? Creo 9.0.6.0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.7.0Is it possible to view the contents of the buffer populated by ProMacroLoad()? Is it possible to clear the contents of this buffer to prevent execution?

I'm having an issue with Sweep in a channel. I'm not sure why it doesn't cut as much on sides following walls. You can easily guess what the intent was. I'm not sure what went wrong with my idea of how to cut the shape actually. Also, it doesn't generate some rounds around as planned.  EDIT: it sems like the cut sketch follows YZ plane in normal instead being normal to the intersect. I'm not sure how to force it to follow the intersection's normal.   

Hi All, I have a part created in very old version of creo.The axis "AXS_HOLE_A" in it is built up using reference of two planes DTM33 & DTM34. See attached screenshot. I want to edit location of those two planes. However I am not able to find those two planes in the new latest version of creo. Can anyone please assist how to locate those two planes? Thank you very much in advance!

I am currently working on a project and encountering few challenges.I am confident that your expertise can provide valuable guidance to help resolve these issues. Project DescriptionI am developing hook-type clamps designed to securely hold the red tube. Both clamps lock via hooks and are bolted at the leg end to exert clamping force. Optimal design criteria for the clamps include following: (Length A) gap must be maintained after Assembly to ensure continuous clamping force on the red tube.(Length B) Must be at least equal to or greater than the tube size for proper fitting.(Length C) This length must exceed the clamp thickness to allow the bottom clamp to fit securely inside the top clamp.(Length A, B and C)-Refer Image The clamps are governed by geometric tolerances, with a profile of surface tolerance of 1mm along the inner surface. I have attempted to optimize the design manually using a trial-and-error method, creating different models under extreme conditions

Hi all, I am working on a data retrieval/CAD automation project, and currently I am using a combination of python with Creoson to extract bom data from Creo. Unfortunately, my company's CAD data is crawling with ghost parts which end up getting included in the output data and I haven't been able to come up with a good solution for filtering them out. I am able to find them manually via the find command as shown:The problem with this is that I have to manually go in and pick the parts using the feature info command or hover my mouse over to get the comp id and manually build a list that I can then use to filter the bom output. I would prefer if there were: A method to include the criteria I'm using in the find command to filter the output from Creoson's bom_get_paths function.A method to export the results of the find command with the comp id to an external file that I could read back into my python script to filter by.Or should I be working on cleaning out these gho

Hello, I am currently using the base EMX extension and I noticed the extension utilizes injection molding. I wanted to know if the EMX extension is capable of creating plates/molds for pulp molding? Thank you.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.9.0We are working on an integration between Creo and a nest engine for our Fabrication area. Questions:Can Creo export information like Bend center line, angle of a bend and radius?Can it do it through the PRT file output as a property or variable?If not, how can it be made possible?We need this information for the nest engine to be able to create a bending program when it receives a flat from Creo. Creo would handle the unfolding process of the 3D model.

Hello, My company is trying to create drawings that are easier for our assembly line to understand.  This means creating a drawing more like a step by step instructions.  This means breaking up the complicated assembly into separate stages and we are doing this by creating simplified reps for each stage of assembly.  However, we need an easy way to assign BOM balloons to each of the simplified rep views.  Currently we assign a separate BOM table to each view and fix the index numbers to the same index number in the master rep BOM.  This is very time consuming and there is a risk of mistakes.   I had two ideas as a solution, but I cannot get either to work.   Idea 1:  Create BOM table with multiple &rpt.qty columns with each column assigned to a different stage.  This works well because it shows all of the stages and the quantity of pieces at each, however, we cannot attach BOM balloons to any views because of the following error: "BOM Ba

When i have trying to install the Client of PTC Creo on user system the licence is not getting from server it shows unreachable contionusly when running the reconfigure.   Last 2yr we are using Creo on this system. Suddenly it shows error.   I have tried below solutions. Checked using servername and ipv for installation. Ping server is successfully in Client system. Added firewall rules in server. (7788 and ptc_d) added value in xml file port for 7789 in flexnet>> conf. (Added in rules also this port) DNS server checked and added again. User profile is deleted and added once in system. In CMD checked server is ping or not, its ping perfectly.   Still this issue is not resolving what can i do for that ?  

Is there a faster way to toggle part or component transparency in assemblies than: Click to select, then from the ribbon menu: Model Display>Component Display Style>Transparent?As often as parts need to be toggled from opaque to transparent during the assembly modelling process, what I need is 'Transparent on/off' from the right-click cursor menu. Or even better, a hover-over cursor toolbar or menu with a transparent toggle.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150Our customer have a problem when open .lay format file. I have read some troubleshooting articles, it states that we should have NOTEBOOK license feature to open lay format.Can Creo design essential license itself open .lay format?If it can't, what module/bom should we choose to import .lay format?Here are the errors that I facedThins functionality requires one of: NOTEBOOK

Hello,When creating a drawing using a format file, Creo automatically select the ANSI/ASME tolerancing standard and I need to manually change in order to have setup the tolerances as DIN/ISO.Is there any way we can (via a config parameter, dtl file, format file, etc) to setup the drawing to follow the ISO standard?Thank you!Giandonato 

Hi All, I am facing a problem in Creo drawing view where, the Sketched labels of opposite face of part reflecting in drawing view of assembly.I tried to hide in the layer tree but the complete sketched labels will get hide in the part level that is not right i feel.I tried to create new layer and add the labels in the assembly layer tree, then i tried to hide them, then also it was not possible to hide them in the views. Am i going in right direction or any other method to hide the visibility of sketched labels of opposite face of part mode in the drawing view ??  

Is there a way to set up an assembly that will automatically create feature(component) attributes as I bring them into an assembly? For example I want an attribute called "Reference_Model"  These models are used for reference only.  I can then use the attribute in a repeat region and can be easily filter out of BOM table or have their own BOM table.

Hi, I am in the same situation. The installation works fine for PTC Creo Parametrics 3.0 M190, but flexnet fails. I tried PTC License Server 11.19.1.0 and PTC License Server 11.17.1.0.   Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/System-Administration/Installing-Creo3-under-Windows-11/m-p/976775#M31407     Any advise or solution? Thanks    

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0Good morning, I am having an issue with my workspaces in Creo. The error 'local cache contents need to be synchronized with the workspace' appears when I try to check parts in to Windchill. I have already tried the synchronize button in the workspace. If I create a new workspace, the issue goes away for a while, but then comes back.Thanks,Will Collier.Here are the errors that I faced'local cache contents need to be synchronized with the workspace'

  Hello Creo Experts, I have a question regarding volume milling. I typically choose volume rough milling sequences for my roughing operations. But now trying to use HSM Milling.. However, I've noticed that the cycle times of HSM sequences are not as efficient as I expected. Despite their name, high-speed milling cycles are actually longer than those of volume milling for the same pocket size. Could you please advise me on any parameters I might be overlooking to achieve a shorter cycle time with HSM or rough sequences compared to volume milling for the same pocket size? Please check the attached MFG file its creo 11 mfg file  Regards, Asif Fisa

It's Confusing and not clear on when to pick wire option .For wire option, its not letting me pick already existing spool. Always new spool? See image.

Hi All, I was wondering if there was a solution for restoring the functionality of the event manager.I am using Creo +  version 12.1.0.1-001. I am using Windchill 12.1.2.12. In a community post, user LLIE explained how renaming your "event" folder in your local cache would fix the event manager. That solution does not work for me. Are there other users who have had this issue and know how the solve it?

Hello, I need help or some recommendations. Creo is testing me once again and I am almost giving up. I would like to design a stranded wire over a curve. I tried myself but it was too complex and not as smart as your solutions. So I wanted to try the solution from this topic: Help modeling a stent - PTC CommunityI also found this: How to create Twisted wires - PTC CommunityThe second link is more suitable for what I need so I tried the trajpar function but it did not went as well as in the topic. I drew the curve in one plane. After this I sketched a circle on an angled centerline going through the start point, then I defined the angle dimension using a relation in sketcher - like it was written in the topic but it seems as it cannot be that "easy". Could you maybe tell me, what I did wrong or where my mistake is? Attached you can find the test file, rough a example of what I want to achieve (looks wise) and my straight version which maybe can be

Auto horizon locking: Keeping the horizon always horizontal when rotating the view, which is equivalent to keeping the direction of gravity always vertical   Imagine you're making a model in the real world, you want to walk around your model to check its form or structure from different angles. But just as you start walking around the model, something magic happened, the horizon of the whole world began to tilt randomly. You have to struggle to keep your balance while continuing to think and create your model.-----This is exactly what happens when there is no "Auto-horizon-locking" feature.   This should be a function as basic as breathing in the real world, arguably more basic than anything else.   All existing relevant functions (orient mode ) are far from  "Auto-horizon-locking".They all require extra tedious and unintuitive steps.   PTC has created an excellent product. But we hope PTC will pay attention to this missing basic feature that can
