Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I'm developing for Creo Parametric 7.0.12.0 using Toolkit C++.In the Toolkit documentation for the ProGraphicsPolygonDraw function (.../protoolkit/protkdoc/api/1549.html), the description says that the points in the array use logical window coordinates.  However, the shape appears to be on the XY-plane and positioned relative to the solid coordinates, i.e.: instead of drawing flat-to-screen, it's drawing at an angle defined by the assembly orientation.I tried the transforms I usually use to translate between solid and window coordinates, but all that happens then is no shape is drawn at all.  Can anyone explain to me what I'm missing? Thank you,  --Larry 

Hello,I'm trying to export *.gif files from a modal analysis, but the quality is extremely poor. The only available formats are *.avi and *.mpg — which is fine, I can convert them afterward — but the video quality is unacceptable.I don’t understand why I can export simulation images as *.jpeg in absurdly high resolution, yet when it comes to videos, the quality is so low. There are compression artifacts, text becomes unreadable, and any small details in the model are completely lost in a blur of pixels.Is there any way to improve the quality of exported video or gif files? 

Upgraded to Creo 11:   Config defaults:      new_parameter_ui no      new_relation_ui no Adding appending text to relation file no longer works:     Menu_def.pro :@ setbutton RELATIONS BLOWMOLD "#Misc;#Trail;C:\ptc\qo_text\proc_labels-2018\blow_molded_2018.txt;"\"Reads in the relations for BLOWMOLD defaults " Is this no longer supported?

i am not able to understand and draw this model can anyone help me completing this model?ND if possible complete and send the file

Since I updated to Creo 11 the feature tree scrolling has been very slow and lagging behind my mouse wheel and the drag bar. Is there a performance setting that can be updated to improve the usability of the feature tree? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.2.0Creo 10 Distributed Batch won't go beyond "Working" statusI am attempting to export multiple CAD models to the STEP format using an embedded application within Creo Parametric. However, the process gets stuck and does not progress beyond the "working" status. Despite waiting for an extended period, the conversion does not complete, and the application remains frozen in this state.

Hello I was wondering if I may be doing something incorrectly or if anyone else has ran into similar issues.I am attempting to modify existing SimpReps in a Creo assembly. When I go through the process there is no change to the SimpRep in the Creo assembly. Any insight or help would be appreciatted, below is the code segment where activeModel is a pfcModel_ptr retrieved from the session.The model has SimpRep "INTERIOR"  and it has a component with feature id = 450  pfcAssembly_ptr assem = pfcAssembly::cast(activeModel); xintsequence_ptr ids = xintsequence::create(); ids->append(450); pfcSimpRepItemPath_ptr sr_item_path = pfcSimpRepItemPath::cast(pfcSimpRepCompItemPath::Create(ids)); pfcSimpRepItem_ptr sr_item = pfcSimpRepItem::Create(sr_item_path); pfcSimpRepAction_ptr action = pfcSimpRepAction::cast(pfcSimpRepInclude::Create()); sr_item->SetAction(action); pfcSimpRepItems_ptr items = pfcSimpRepItems::create(); items->append(sr_item); pfcSimpRep_ptr sr = as

When I want to create sketch feature,    wfcElement::Create(PRO_E_STD_FEATURE_NAME) is always not be correctly, It always disappear.     The RightPlane can not be obtained!!Help me!!!!! 😂  pfcSession_ptr session = pfcGetProESession(); if (session == NULL) { OutputLogMsg("failed to obtain creo session."); return; } wfcWSession_ptr Wsession = wfcWSession::cast(session); // 取得目前模型（確認為零件） pfcModel_ptr model = session->GetCurrentModel(); if (!model || model->GetType() != pfcMDL_PART) { OutputLogMsg("failed to obtain PART model."); return; } // 將模型轉型成 Solid 物件（支援草繪） pfcSolid_ptr solid = pfcSolid::cast(model); wfcWSolid_ptr Wsolid = wfcWSolid::cast(solid); // 檢查目前模型是否為有效的 Solid 物件 if (solid == NULL) { OutputLogMsg("failed to get Solid from current model."); return; } // =============================================== // 嘗試取得名稱為 "TOP" 的基準面 pfcModelItems_ptr Items = solid->ListItems(pfcITEM_FEATURE); pfcModelItem_ptr TopPlane = nullptr; pfcM

I want to create a create a special BOM Balloon symbol.   Basically the request if for a vertically stacked set of balloons with additional common symbology.  I want to be able to allow a user to switch between different configurations of the symbol.  When switching configurations the text the user has already entered to be persistent.   The video below shows how the attributes are lost when switching between the  bottom to top leader configuration. Also included is a screen grap of the ungrouped symbol elements and the symbol attributes. (view in My Videos) Creo 9, 10, 11

Creo Parametric 8. When an unlocked dimension is toggled to lock, the dimension automatically changes accuracy to be 2 decimal places, and also appears to round the original value to the rounded value. This is causing large unintended geometry changes. Is there a config.pro setting or other setting that can be modified to fix this? The list of options I've already modified is below: default_dec_placeslive_dim_precision_decimals (appears to have worked for linear dimensions but not radii)default_ang_decimal_places

I want to calculate the torsional stiffness for my design, So for that I have to determine the value of angle of twist in simulation. Can anyone tell me the procedure to calculate the torsional stiffness or angle of twist in creo simulation.

I am using CREO 10.  How do I change the dimensions (shown in red boxes) to be half (like the second example)?  I have looked in parameters, played with the bottom witness line, but past examples are not working.  

Hello,I have a part and its drawing. I need to make an assembly by using this part and as well as its drawing as new drawing file for my new assembly. Is it possible? Creating a copy of a part drawing as a drawing of an assembly which the original part belongs to. Please ask if it is too vague and I will try my best to clarify it.Thanks.

Hi Everyone,I am working on a Creo Parametric 9.0.6.0 plugin using the VB API in C# in Visual Studio and have successfully created an application that interacts with Creo when it is running in the background. I can retrieve the active session and perform operations using the API.Now, I want to add a custom button to the Creo Ribbon panel and link it to my C# code so that it executes a function when clicked. I came across a similar discussion in the community and wanted to confirm whether this can be achieved using the VB API in C#.I would really appreciate any pointers, references, or guidance on implementing this. Any insights from those who have done similar work would be greatly helpful.Thank you!

Hello all,Creo Version: 8.0.8.0I am having trouble with a hide layer that i created a few weeks ago. It originally worked but now it does not. I have a Layer that has fabric 2 straps on it, if i toggle (show and hide) it does not hide anything any more.  it worked when i created it.  I have checked and the components are still on the layer. I have created a "test" layer with these same 2 straps and it does not work. i have created another  "test2" layer with the 2 straps and a 3rd component and when i toggle this test 2 layer it hides the 3rd component but not the 2 straps any thought.  Thanks for the helpDaniel

Why are these config.pro locations different.? How to understand them simply?  Why I do not see all the options to pick from? 

Hi BenLoosli, I had created this table using assembly and included the components in it. As you can see the tube part numbers are duplicated. if i want to remove the duplicates and capture LENGTH and QTY information in only one row, the quantity of M963262A002 would become 2 and length would be doubled. How can i achieve this ? Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/piping-parameters-for-drawing-tables/m-p/735183#M119947 

Hi Is there any option to check if a model has been used in Simulate? I could think of a parameter or an icon (like if Mathcad is embedded) or similar. Background: We use ModelCHECK to check for weak dimensions in sketches. Eventually we found weak dimensions in sketches of surfaces splits within Simulate. Currently it seems one has to switch to Simulate to check for non-compliant features. Thanks, ziegi

I can set up a new table add the repeat region and add in the "file path" (no clue what you call it) to each cell. ex. terminal information  - mbr.terminal  For the entry ports/pin I found this file path on youtube mbr.connprm.pin.name. when I first make the harness I designate the connector and assign each entry port a coordinate system to work of off and then add in the entry port when I designate each connector. It also looks like other things aren't working either like if I wanted the wire color or the wire gauge going to the connector. I know I'm missing something I just can't figure out what.

Hello,I would like to know if annotations can be exported inside of simulate result *.pvs file.We use *.pvs results very ofter but not all people in our company use creo simulate. So when there are many hydraulic cylinders and report doesn't have any reference of which one is which it is pretty hard to find excel reference in *.pvs model.How can i define a note which will be exported to *.pvs file where each hydraulic cylinder will have it's personal note.Expected output: 

Hi,  We are changing our drawing format to change the layout.  Below is my VB code to set the drawing with a new format. The code only half worked. The new format could be applied, but the old format stayed.  I had been searching up and down and try to find if there was an option of "replace" but I couldn't find anything.  The online VB help about "IpfcDrawingFormat" has no help at allCan anyone please help?
