Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi, I'm trying to assign my parts as Natural Rubber in Creo, but I couldn't find the rubber material in my Creo material library. Could you please help me with this?

Hi, I'm wondering that the value of Damping Coefficient (%) in dynamic analysis is same as Damping Ratio?If not same how can I find this value? Thank you.

Hello ptc community, Is it possible to get an overview to loading cycles. For Example a big assembly should get loaded to Creo, my point of view at Creo 4.0 is, that i only can watch at the taskmanager that the file gets loaded (throgh looking at the RAM load, CPU and GPU have not much to do at that state). Also between loading utilizations the programm is kind of locked until the File is completly available.I think a progress bar maybe with a percentage value would give an overview of the task. For program commands (for example: clusters) there is already a progress bar that shows the final calculated geometry that has been clustered. Yours sincerelyAlexander

Hello ptc community, If I create a List of materials (BOM) of an large assembly, the list does overlap with the frame of the drawing.Is it possible to split the list from one to two, to shorten the length? I know that I could use a bigger format for example to change from an A3 sheet to A2.But if everything fits to the format sheet (If the list is split to two) it would be worse to take a bigger sheet. Version of creo is 4.0 Yours sincerely,Alexander

Hi there, I am trying to create a view in a part or assembly by web.link. What works:Rotate and pan view by mouseOR: Rotate view by "CurrentModel.CurrentViewRotate(0, 30)"Save view with "CurrentModel.SaveView("newView")What does not work:Create a transform matrixCreate a Transform3D object with "let newtrans = pfcCreate("pfcTransform3D").Create( newmatrix)Rotate / transform the current view with "CurentModel.SetCurrentViewTransform(newtrans)"What am I doing wrong? ( Creo 10.0.7.0 ) 

Hi,  Our current drawings use stroke font as the default for drawings. But we need them to be with Truetype font. The reason behind it is that we need to manipulate the PDFs after Creo generating them. By simply use "use Truetype font" option during PDF export does not work well. The default Truetype font looks very different from the stroke font and also is much wider. Hence cause issues to fit into the table. Unfortunately, there is no option can change the default Truetype font. The only method is to change the default annotation font for the drawing.  The drawing default font is controlled by a ".dtl" file in each drawing. There is no universal setting that can change the font for all drawings all at once. That being said, the "dtl" file needs to be changed in every drawing one by one. For one project, we have around 3,000 drawings. It will take a long time to change them manually.  The Creo object toolkit or VB Api doesn't offer a function that can be

Using Creo 8.0.9 I'm working on a drawing that has a large table of dimensional values that directly reference dimensions created on views in a later sheet. When I create the dimensions on the drawing view, I enter a symbolic name (like 'H4', see image below) that corresponds with the name of the value on the first page. This way if the model changes in the future, the table automatically updates instead of needing to manually type in the new value. So, the table on sheet one has the value &H4, but displays the dimension named 'H4'.The issue I'm running into is that sometimes when I enter the name I want, it brings up a pop-up that says "This symbol is reserved or exists already". When I look through the annotations dropdown in the drawing tree, the dimension name I want isn't found under any of the views so there shouldn't be a conflict.Is there a way to see a list of all created dimensions on a drawing? I've also tried looking in "Show Model Annotations", but don't see the n

Hi,referring the article CS392162, I'm not able to edit the name of the folders. In my example I need to add the mechanica beams and I want to maintain the original ones.I already create the folder structure, as you can see in the image attached:- simulate    - steel_beams_mm_mechanica    - steel_beams_inch_mechanica I want to change the label of the folders:- SIMULATE    - MECHANICA MM    - MECHANICA INCH I need it in two different languages, english and another one. Thanks in advance

Have you ever encountered such a situation: In Creo3.0, when editing parameter properties, I wanted to define a drop-down value list for the parameters, but I found that I couldn't click the Define TAB in the Edit Properties dialog box. However, this issue does not exist in Creo4.0 or later versions.

Hi,We have a particular case.We have 2 hole pattern on different diameters with the same Common Zone.- 1st pattern is 6xM6 on Ø210- 2nd pattern is 6xØ9 on Ø224Currently, the dimensions are defined as follows:We have manually defined the dims as follow:For the second arrow, we add a leader note at the height of the 6xM8 on Ø210 text note Could we make it more properly without "manual tinkering" in MBD?Regards

I am having issues trying to open a UDF from a folder in our Windchill library.I get this error:'wtpub://PDM-PD/Libraries/COMMON CAD/CAD Documents/user defined features/90-4118-795-000' does not exist in the database.Caught exception: com.ptc.wfc.Implementation.pfcExceptions$XToolkitGeneralError When I dig into the log, it looks like it is failing here:Exception of type com.ptc.wfc.Implementation.pfcExceptions$XToolkitNotFoundXPFC Message: pfcExceptions::XToolkitNotFound...at com.ptc.wfc.Implementation.WFCRemoteCommImpl.makeObject line: 5453 If I put the UDF "90-4118-795-000" into my working directory, it executes fine and places the UDF as expected. I have tried to retrieve the UDF in a sandbox code and get the same error, so it seems it is related to .gph files?I can retrieve .prt files fine, so I am looking for any ideas on how to resolve this issue.

An issue was brought up last week by 2 of our users wanting to work with skeleton models. Users were reporting "Assembly license is required to use this functionality.", this was showing when trying to populate their assembly without existing skeletons. After further investigation I noticed all features of the AAX module are missing. We're not sure when this started, but has anyone noticed similar behavior?  Creo+ V12.2.0.0-020Windchill+ V12.1.2.12

What is the best way to find a dimension within a family table? Is there some sort of search function that can filter through the family table? For example, if I just have a dimension 'd160', what is the fastest way to find it in a large family table. 

Hello!I am trying to add a M7 ISO thread to my 3D piece but it has the wrong size. It's way tinier as what it schould be. The sizes are wrong for every ISO thread, and doesn't disappear after restarting Creo, or by creating new pieces.Im am Using Creo 8.0.4.0, and I believe the problem came once I changed the language.Thank you for your help and your time.

Hi everyone, I'm working on automating a process using a batch file that will be triggered as a scheduled task. The steps I'm trying to automate are as follows: 1- Launch Creo Parametric (version 10.0.7.0)2- Start a tool that interacts with Creo to run it automatically in the background.3- Shut down the configurator.4- Shut down Creo itself. Parts 2 and 3 are not a problem: this tool was developed by our consultants using the Creo toolkit. It's simply a matter of invoking one batch file to start it and another to stop it. The issue is with the shutdown of Creo. I don't want to use a brute-force taskkill command to close Creo, as I'd prefer a more graceful and proper way to do it. I considered simulating keyboard shortcuts (such as Alt+F+X) to close the program, using either VBScript or AutoHotkey, but here's the catch: since this task will be running as a scheduled task, with no user logged in, none of these solutions will work because they require the UI to be accessibl

I am using Creo 11.0 I have multiple Simp Rep in assembly for example S1, S2, S3 and S5. Now I am assemble one more part and create one more sim rep S6. So, S6's part automatically added in all existing representation. Now my problem is that how can I exclude S6's part from all existing easily.  Thanks in advance. 

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.
