Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello, I have an assembly that includes various fastening elements such as bushings, bolts, etc. I would like to create a workshop drawing, just for the bushings. On one sheet, I want to have all the bushings that are in the assembly, with different views, and a table with the name and quantity of each bushing in the assembly, and of course, marked with a BOM. I am trying to do this, but I am having trouble linking the table to the assembly and individual parts. Is it even possible to do this? Thanks ! 

Cannot open native: SW2022*.sldprt, *.sldasm files in Creo9 - keeps showing error:'M059183C001.SLDPRT' cannot be opened because it was previously opened using newer release of Creo.'M047886C001.SLDASM' cannot be opened because it was previously opened using newer release of Creo. We were able to do this in the past with no issues We are using: Windchill 12.0.2.7, SW2022, Creo9, WWGM13.02.1 any ideas on what might have caused these files to not open now in Creo9?seems to be a  Windchill issue?  thanksRich 

IFX in Creo 10.0.4.0When using IFX it standard creates holes in modifiable parts. When you don't want that you have to set it manually each time to "Do not create a hole".Is it possible to have it default always set to "Do not create a hole"  for all parts? 

I have a problem with the mouse in the mould base definition window, when I place the mouse over a plate it does not select to select it I have to move it either to the side or higher up,has anyone ever had this problem? if so how did you solve it?i have also tried with older versions but always the same problem.

I wanted to check if the following workflow is possible using Creo and Mathcad, and whether any customization is needed.Use Case:Let’s say I am designing a pressure vessel, where key parameters such as diameter, height, and thickness are determined through design calculations.Now, the thickness is calculated based on a formula in Mathcad, and I do not need to create a 3D model of the pressure vessel. Instead, my goal is to directly generate a 2D drawing in Creo, where dimensions like thickness, height, and diameter are taken from a linked Mathcad worksheet.My questions are:Is it possible to use output variables from a Mathcad sheet directly inside a Creo 2D drawing to control dimensions?Can this be done without creating a 3D model?Does this workflow require any customization or special setup?If it’s possible, could you please guide me on how to link Mathcad with a drawing and control the values dynamically?This workflow is quite relevant for many industries (especially pressure vessel

Hello Community  Till date I am using Creo Parametric 6.0.6.0. but since last few days I am using Creo Parametric 11.0.3.0. I make model which have 2 machining operations in single model. I want to make individual drawing for both operation with machining symbol so I used family table and make two separate part for both operation. When I created drawing of both part and place machining symbol on machining surface. When I place machining symbol place on second machining operation face (in instance part drawing), obesely which surface not show in my generic model. So when I opened my generic model meanwhile second operation machining symbol failed in generic model. I attached images for reference. Please help me how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.            

I am in Creo Parametric 9.0.8.0. I am attempting to generate an MCD in Creo NC. I am able to generate an NCL file with no issues. However, when I try to generate an MCD file, after all of the prompts, I check my working directory and there is no file for the g-code output. I have attached an image of the log. Am I missing something here? 

Hi I am currently working on CREO 11, when calculating mass properties for any CAD file, the results always comes up as scientific notation (MASS = 6.0445521e+01 GRAM ).I tried looking and adjusting descimal dislplay in the configuration but it does not affect the mass calculation results.scientific notation results                Is there a way to get the mass calculation as:MASS = 60.445 GRAMThanks

Why there is even wire create option ? I cannot follow a second wire along with the first created wire. !. CABLE does it much better and flexible. So what is the advantage/ Vs / when to use. between both?Thanks Advance! PL enlighten me with your thoughts. 

I do not see a dedicated community for Cabling Corner. Can PTC add that? or where to look for if already there? Thanks! 

How to use CREO software to create animated videos?Do you have any information to recommend?

Mesh export in fem mode Nastran with singular node is taking too long to export. Can someone suggest any tips to increase the export speed. meshing is quick but export to Nastran takes more time

Where did the Angle snapping setting go in Creo 10 for drawing lines at specified angles on drawings?I can't find it anywhere.

Hello everyone,I have a question, I want to build animation of Electromagnet in Creo 10. Like in this video:I build a model with a curve, which the electrons can go throughHow can I use the slot Connection and pattern here?I tried to make 2 Point on the electrons to have the similar distance of them, but it doesn´t work 

Hello Community!We've had difficulties with cross-sections in a specific situation :We want to show section like hereunder to detail the hole profile : And this is the result we get :It seems to be related to the section plane position : I believe this is because there are counterbore surfaces on the same plane as section plane and Creo seems to absolutely hate this : In every community post I saw that were slightly similar to my case, the best working solution I saw was to set an offset for section plane. I tried here with a 0.01 mm offset and it works. Do you have any idea where it comes from? And is there any other resolution to this problem than cheating with an offset? Thank you in advance!

My company is wanting to start modeling wiring harnesses in 3D. My plan was to add the connectors into the CAD model with an axis at each point where a pin would be. My current problem is I don't know what to do about the terminals and the locking mechanisms for the terminals (like the small plastic piece you shove in a Deutsch connector so the pins don't come out). I would really rather not add the terminals and locks into CAD just because there just such tiny pieces. We have part numbers for each lock and terminal, would it be possible to somehow add that information to the connectors Creo file? So once the 2D drawing is made is can pull in and show the connector the terminal and the lock when you make one of those tables? Thanks in advance 

Hello,I am attempting to scale an item I received from an outside source but whenever I try to use the Scale Model function, the assembly/part does not go under any changes. Is this because the item should have definitions within it, such as sketches to transform? The item I received had no internal sketches or dimensions, so I wonder if that is the cause? For reference I am looking to save the nominal item to a proportionally smaller size and I am on Creo 8.0.11.0

I am having an issue where routed cables are offset from the single connector entry port instead of centered around it. Is there a setting that controls this? I don't recall this ever happening before and after many tests it seems to be most pronounced when using multi stranded cables (twisted pair shown in the attached image).  This is producing some unwanted artifacts when moving into drawings and flat manufacturing harness.

How do I recover a Creo Schematics Design? Creo Schematics frequently crashes and when I try to reopen the design I was working on, I receive the error below. In File>Environment I have "Automatic design backup" checked and I set "save design information" to every 20 operation however the autosave folder for each project is always empty. It does show that a recovery file was created called recovery_9-11-2023_15-16-0.rcv but I don't know how to open it in Creo Schematics. I am using Creo Schematics version 8.0.0.0.    

I am trying to display wire endpoints in a section view of my cable assembly & only the centerline will display, Even when I exclude the harness.prt from the section view in the model it only appears when it is not behind a sectioned area.  Everything I find online suggests: Drawing View → View Display → Cable Display→Thick but that does not resolve my issue. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Hey all, another what could be just a simple question. I have to insert 45 degree angled lines quite often and the only way I know how to do it is inserting a line close to 45 degrees, adding a dimension, then clicking and dragging the one end of the line to as close to 45 as I can get. 45 degrees doesn't need to be exact in this application but is there any way to do it easier other than adding a symbol or the way I'm doing it currently?

Hello, I want to create Geometry simplified representation by Creo 10 (I have very huge assembly and I do not need info about nested features/geometry from subassemblies). In the past in old Creo, was possible to create Geometry simplified representation. In Creo 10 I have found option: simprep_default_model_status graphicsbut is not working. When I create new rep, system always create only Automatic representationAny ideas how to make Creo faster for huge assemblies?Thanks, Vladimir 

I'm trying to  apply a thermal load to simulate a bolt preload (a similar technique as it used to be done in Pro/MECHANICA) in a simple two plate model. To model the bolt I made a beam idealization that connects two rigid links at the bolt ends (one for the head and the other for the thread). I created a global material for the plates with 0 [1/°C] thermal coefficient and then another material for the beam with 1.2e-3 [1/°C]. For thermal loads I'm using a temperature load increase to 100C and fixing the rigid links. After that, I run the static analysis but nothing happens.  This is the first time I'm attempting this approach for bolt modeling, I'll appreciate any help to understand what I'm doing wrong. Attached is the zip file with the assembly and creo parts for reference as well as an image with some description labels. 

HiTrying to establish the correct way to layer mechanisms within assemblies for a driveshaft/uni joint setup.I have found a few ways that make it work, however they all seem a little cumbersome. What i currently have is 3 main assemblies 1. Input containing a yoke with a pin constraint2. Output containing a yoke with a pin constraint3. Driveshaft with sub assemblies  - universal joint with pin constraints - driveshaft with a slider constraint When assembling these im assumining that i should be using a rigid constraint to put the driveshaft assembly with 2 sets to attach to the Input/Output shafts, however this does not want to work for me. Should i be assembling the driveshaft into the main assembly as a mechanism also? or nesting this differently?  Also within the Uni joint, Should the cross be the default with the caps all allowed to rotate? or one set of caps fixed and the cross & alternate caps be allowed to rotate? Its seeming

Hi all, I think I discovered a bug in Creo. I am trying to follow this tutorial.  Hide the sketch from one drawing view and keep it visible in another drawing view in creo parametric However, this method only works when I hide the sketch in the Model. If it is showing in the model, then the exported PDF shows the lines as well. Also I have tried matching drawing properties as in the video. See in above image, 'PRT_ALL_CURVES' is hidden, but it still shows. for some reason it doesn't matter if it's showing or hidden on the drawing, the model overrides what the drawing exports. If I export the drawing with the model hiding the sketch, then there is no issues (except that the drawing still shows the sketch, it just hides it after exporting which is also extremely confusing/frustrating). Thank you,Jeff Houston
