Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric 11.0.2.0 and I am unable to rename a dimension inside a datum graph. I want to use the dimensions inside the graph with a family table, and it is easier to navigate the family table if the dimension is named. The current solution is adding a 'comment row' to the family table and labelling below the actual dimension. But the comment row does not move with the family table when new columns are inserted before (to the left of) the dimension in question.

Good afternoon, I've been utilizing a Mapkey in my config.pro, along with the Creo Distributed Batch executable, in order to assist in a task with parts in Creo Parametric 7. However, my organization has recently upgraded to Creo Parametric 11, and using the same operation with Creo Distributed Batch, the objects ran through the task in Creo Distributed Batch now fail. Upon further research, I find this from PTC:Is Creo Distributed Batch now longer supported with Creo 11.0 functionality and parts/assemblies? What is the new alternative to "run a mapkey defined in a config.pro" as described by Creo Distributed Batch? I've been seeing a lot of discourse about Mapkeys in Creo 11.0 and have been trying to put everything together.I can provide more information if needed. 

Hi,  Creo Windchill is very different from other PDM system. There is no real folder structure. I am confused of how to extract all drawing files from active workspace. I like to create a VB.net program to export all of them to PDFs, But I don't know how to extract the list of the filenames. Can anyone provide a code example of how to create a file list in Active workspace?  Thanks

I have a part with an truncated circle (with a flat ) for the base protrusion. I want to change this to a complete circle without having to redefine ALL THE FEATURES that refer to the "base protrusion."This would be changing an arc to a circle. A problem as old as time.I think it might be a good time to see if anyone has a solution.We are using Creo 10.0.7.0

Hi, For detailing, we use to set overall .dtl setup only for whole file. In that case can we change or set that .dtl. file for each sheet separately to control the parameters in each sheets? For ex:. For sheet1 -setup 1.dtl, For sheet2-setup2.dtl.  --Mani

Hi,Creo tells me that embedded components in an inseparable assembly are missing:How is this possible? My understanding is that those components are saved in the assembly file-how can they be missing?

Hi, I'm trying to parse drawing files for a laser cutting machine and change the simplified representation for bent parts using Jlink. What am I doing wrong? I tried solid.Display(), drawing.display(),manually adding simpRep before view.SetSimpRep() with drawing.AddSimpRep(). Here is my code: Drawing drawing = (Drawing) window.GetModel(); WView2D view2D = (WView2D) drawing.List2DViews().get(0); Solid solid = (Solid) drawing.ListModels().get(0); ModelItems modelItems = solid.ListItems(ModelItemType.ITEM_SIMPREP); if (modelItems != null) { for (int i=0; i < modelItems.getarraysize(); i++) { if (modelItems.get(i).GetName().endsWith("FLAT_REP")) { SimpRep simpRep = (SimpRep) modelItems.get(i); logMessage(simpRep.GetName()); //drawing.AddSimplifiedRep(simpRep); //drawing.DeleteSimplifiedRep(simpRep); SimpReps simpReps = drawing.ListSimplifiedReps(solid); for (int k=0; k<simpReps.getarraysize(); k++) { logMessage("REPs " + simpReps.get(k).GetName()); } logMessage("C

Martin,   I am trying to setup IFX on a network.  I believe I have everything setup correctly but get a similar error to the one above.  Using your solution and running IFX through the creo load point, everything works fine just like in this post.  The problem I have is when I point the IFX configuration PATH_ABS_LIBRARY to my network location I get the hole_com.cpp error.  Can you help with this?

So when importing large step assemblys as parts there will always be lots of errors and it will take hours.If its not a complete faliure meaning  "could not construct geometry",  there will at least always be transitions between parts that doesnt work,, and  the model will be a mix of solids and surfaces and very heavy to use.But when importing step as assembly keeping the parts intact as they were make from the source. There is almost never a problem.Is there no way to import as part and make the individual parts as bodies so Creo doesnt have to construct new impossible geometry ?For example Assembly with 10 parts will be Part with 10 bodys.

I'm working in Creo 11 and I have a fairly simple part, but I was trying to demonstrate a few concepts.   I'd like to have a family table of a part.  This part has 4 dimensions that will vary between nominal, MMC and LMC with the tolerance being a parameter.   I was hoping to write an expression that the MMC part was nominal + &tol and the LMC part was nominal - &tol, and I'd like to change the tolerance as a parameter.  I've used the excel table in the family table - but I wanted to verify that I'm not missing a better option.    

Hi communityI am interested in simulating the separation of bodies. In effect, I am tearing one body from the other.The two bodies have different materials, and bonded contact between the bodies.I create the separation using displacement constraint. In this situation, the elements continue to be connected between the bodies and do not "disconnect" during the separation process. What am I doing wrong?Does anyone have a recommendation on how to simulate this? Thanks in advance.

The entire assembly of vehicle is 120mb. Spin lag, slow machine.Step of same: 46mb, still spin lag..asm of above step: 1mbShrinkWrap of the .asm: 1.7mbWHAT IS THE CORRECT PROCESS TO  lightweight the huge ASM MODEL? How can I achieve a super light file. ?

I have a sheet metal part with punches and die-formed features. Does PTC Creo offer a way to calculate the blank size or developed length for this part to determine the required raw material? I know other CAD software packages have functionalities for generating flattened or developed patterns. Is this capability available in Creo 7?

Hi,I'm currently using Creo 9. I'm trying to make a drafted Hole as Datum B using GD&T Advisor. First, it only gives options to add Datum Targets as "Targets" tab turns red (see Image 1). After going in to the Target tab, I'm able to select "User-Defined Axis" option and then select the axis of the said hole. However, this option doesn't allow me to use position/perpendicular geometric characteristic for tolerance. The only available options are Straightness, Circularity, Profile of Surface & Angularity (see Image 2). I'm looking for a right way to add a position/perpendicularity tolerance w.r.t Datum A (bottom surface of the block). 

Creo 10 I have been tasked with providing restricted values for parameters based on my material selection.Example, if I select 1018 CRS, I only want my "finish" parameter restricted values to be powdercoat / black oxide If I select 6061 aluminum, I want my "finish" parameter restricted to clear anodize / black anodize. My 1st attempt, your able to create material parameters for individual materials. However, if you create restricted values for material parameters, the restricted values do not save with the material file. If this worked each material would be able to have its very own set of "Finish" parameter values and this is all I'm after. My 2nd attempt, was to have each material having its own special parameter. EX.... 1018_Finish, 6061_Finish. Then have a restricted variable file grab the appropriate information. This worked, however I need my drawings to be populated with a &Finish. I thought adding a IF exist function in my relations would cover thi

I have a user who is trying to tabulate changes to a sketch dimension, and the resultant values on other sketch dimensions. I have tried making family table instances where the lower dimension increments but repeat region table can only capture family table elements, not other affected model results not in the family table. looking for options.Users sketch

We're using Creo 9.0.9.0 to import STEP files saved by Catia 3DExperience R2018x. Whenever we import an assembly we get the child parts added in with the filename as <part number in catia>_000. The _000 isn't shown in the STEP file when opened in a text editor, so I have no idea where it has come from. Is there any way to turn this off? Many thanks!

Trying to get Creo View 11.0 to publish on our Windchill server. Proeworker will not start automatically, but that is minor as I start it manually and then disconnect from the server. The real issue is the 'generated' PDF and thumbnail are blank and the worker log says they were not generated, even though WVS Monitor says Job Successful. Checked the error in the worker log and it points to Article - CS161913 - Creo View Adapters: Failed to generate drawing output in PDF format when publishing a Creo Parametric drawing file Removed Creo and Creo View and reinstalled on Friday. Ran the recipe editor and set it up for PDF. Still fails to publish. Ran Proepublish per the CS article and it generates the PDF in the CVA setup folder. This is a Windchill 13.0.2.3 installation with Creo 11.0.3.0 and CVA 11.0.0.0. I have Windchill 13.0.2.3 running with Creo 9.0.9.0 and CVA (.0 on another machine just fine.

Is it possible to create mitigatable links in Creo drawings to switch to particular sheet ? Like similar to Excel, word or PDF where we can directly go to particular sheet by clicking the on the text in Index.We have drawings where the number of pages go beyond 20, we are finding it difficult to navigate to particular sheet. When the PDFs of the drawings are generated through the publisher these links should work in any PDF browsers.

We made some cabling for our units using existing wiring diagrams, wire length are approximate as we match what we see in pictures and diagram. Our team wants the wire length to match 100% what the drawing says, but as wiring is mostly free sketch we don't know if it's possible to match the exact dimensions we have on our diagrams.  We use Creo Parametric 8.0.8.0 with Cabling application.

There was a Windchill update last Friday, so I worked in offline mode in CREO program but didn't export the model to my local disk. Now, I can't find it in my workspace. Is there any way to recover it?I don’t necessarily need the latest version—if there's a backup from last Monday or any earlier version, that would work for me as well.

Using Creo 4.0 here ...I have a 'handle type' part, that needs some edges rounded.I have a problem with modelling the inner round because it has to stop 'halfway', where the red arrow is (see screenshot below).If this part is produced on a milling machine, the round will of course not end 'abruptly' as shown below.There will be some run-out of the radius mill.How could I model this? The inner round, I have now modelled as a sweep along a sketch (you can see the sketch as the blue line). The mill run-out should look something like this: Kind regards
