Creo+ and Creo Parametric

When copying the default simple_drilled.hol file into hole file location which is set by the config option HOLE_PARAMETER_FILE_PATH, I get a format error once I use the hole command to create a hole. The error is:Format error in fastener input file : N:\AMG File\AMG CAD ROOM\Creo Library\Hole Files\simple_drilled.hol at line no: 8 The only thing I changed on the default file is PRO-VERSION to 24 from 25 because I would get a fatal crash and remove the ! to un-comment the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA section as shown here: HOLE_TABLE_DATAPRO_VERSION 24TABLE_TYPE SIMPLE_DRILLEDCALLOUT_FORMAT DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATAHOLE_TYPE DRILLED_DEPTH CSINK CBORE EXIT_CSINK CALLOUT_FORMATSIMPLE_DRILLED VAR YES NO NO DRILLED HOLE &DIAMETER &VAR_DEPTH &DRILL_DEPTH I have tried all kinds of combinations to try to figure out the format error.  PLEASE HELP!!

I'm working in an assembly in Creo 7.0.2.0, and I am trying to determine the interference between two objects. I want to determine the distance between the two furthest points of each object to determine how much they are interfering with each other. I found the "Pairs Clearance" feature that lets you select two objects, and it will show you the clearance between the two closest points of each object. I was wondering if there was a feature that did the same thing for interference parts, so I can determine the extent of how far the two parts are interfering. I have tried the "Global Interference", but it just outputs a volume and not a distance. Does anyone have any more experience with this? I am somewhat new to the "Analysis" tab and have only used it for measurements and mass properties.

Looking for some helpful tips on when to use bodies and not to use bodies.  We moved to Creo 10 recently(from 7 i believe?).  Creo 7 had bodies but it wasn't something i was really interested in learning then.  Seems that Bodies have come along way in the 3 generations(and even more in 11). Looking to get feedback on how you use bodies in your daily part modeling/assembly work? Things i've started to do now at the part level instead of the assembly level:Dowel PinsI'll model the pin at the part level now and assign it as a body(can xhatch it differnetly at the drawing level).  I no longer need to have an assembly created for these.  This also makes GDT much easier at the part level instead of the assembly levelThreaded InsertsI'll either model a helicoil myself or do Get Data -> Import and import a threaded insert as a body into my model(assembly via csys).  Much easier to handle the drawing this wayI think i might do some plug welds for cross

Current Status:The dimension for the increment of a pattern is entered with 6 decimal places.The dimension is displayed with 3 decimal places. (option default_dec_places 3)When editing, the dimension is displayed with 6 decimal places.So far, everything is correct. The pattern is redefined into a table pattern.All dimensions are rounded to 3 decimal places, meaning that values are unintentionally changed ☹️ Enhancement request:Decimal places that were originally entered should be preserved in pattern tables. No automatic modification of dimension values by Creo.

While converting the drawing to PDF, I have multiple sheet sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3, and A4), and for all these sheets, I can only assign one pentable.pnt file in configuration, but the line thickness is not the same for all sheet sizes; the lines are not visible if I use the pentable setting used or an A4 sheet for A3 to A0. Need suggestion...

Hi everyone,I am new to Creo Web.Link and currently working on automating the process of adding dimensions to a drawing view. My goal is to:Check if the current model is a drawing.Allow the user to select a view in the drawing.Retrieve model annotations (dimensions) from the selected view and display them.I am trying to use the Web.Link API, but I am facing issues with retrieving and displaying the dimensions. Here’s the function I have so far:function addDimension() {if (pfcIsMozilla())netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");try {var session = pfcGetProESession();var drawing = session.CurrentModel;if (drawing.Type !== pfcCreate("pfcModelType").MDL_DRAWING) {alert("Current model is not a drawing.");return;}alert("Drawing detected. Please select a view.");// Allow user to select a viewvar selectedView = drawing.SelectView("Select a view to retrieve dimensions:");if (!selectedView) {alert("No view selected.");return;}alert("View selected: " + selectedView

I am using Creo Simulate Release N/A and DatecodeN/AHello,We currently have a Creo Design Essentials license installed on the host ID WIFI A8-64-F1-1A-D7-13, which is set to expire soon. Therefore, we would like to remove this license and replace it with the one currently assigned to host ID F8-75-A4-F4-DA-89.Could you please proceed with transferring the license from F8-75-A4-F4-DA-89 to A8-64-F1-1A-D7-13? Additionally, could you confirm that the user currently using A8-64-F1-1A-D7-13 will not encounter any issues when reinstalling the license after the transfer?

I am not able to drag up the green line at the bottom of an assembly tree or part features. Nor am I able to drag independent features or parts up or down a tree. I can see the "hand" when I put the pointer on the line, when I left-click the mouse the hand closes, but if I want to drag it, a red stop sign (red circle with line across) appears.Anyone an idea why this is happening? I can use the "Insert Here" option, but dragging the line is much simpler.thank you!Norman

Here are 3 basic examples of Mechanism Dynamics

Hello:in the drawing view display style set to hidden line style,we want use toolkit API get the part edge display status,hidden line or solid line,how to get the solid edge status in the drawing view? thank you. 

Hi, I opened creo parametric M110 this morning and can't seem to get the embedded browser and Windchill to work. I can connect to Windchill and open parts, just not through the browser. In fact, the browser window is there but stays on on a blank white page. So "workspace" and  "windchill cabinets" buttons don't work and neither does manually typing in any web url. I have tried switching between ie and chrome in config, nothing seems to work though. Thanks

I have a drawing with 3 sheets.  somewhere along the way the second sheet has become corrupted and the drawing will no longer publish.  i can activate/modify sheet 1 and 3 but if click on sheet 2 the program stalls and i'll have to close it out.   I'd like to just delete sheet 2 and re-create it but i don't know how to do it other than right clicking and selecting delete.  but right clicking it will navigate it to that sheet and then it'll freeze on me. Help?

I would like to be able to design tubes in Creo Parametric that will be 3d lasercut (to an angle of max 45 degrees).When I convert a body to sheetmetal, sidewalls are made perpendicular to eachother automatically.There are some workarounds to have angled sidewalls in sheetmetal but is it possible to have sheetmetal not do this automatically? I still need the unbend/bend back function in sheetmetal or I wouldnt use it at all for tube design.

Hello, does anybody have UDL files for editing Pro/Program and Relations with Notepad++? I've already set the config option "pro_editor_command" to my Notepad++ installation path (to use N++ instead of Notepad.exe) and I was wondering if anybody has already uploaded UDL files somewhere. Thank you in advance. Old Topic for reference - https://community.ptc.com/t5/System-Administration/Notepad-User-Defined-Language-files-for-Creo-Parametric-and-Pro/m-p/451745#M6999 And thanks to @DomenicLaritz for sharing the UDL files for config and .dtl files!

I followed the PTC tutorial to assemble the piston and seal ring, and after completing the three assembly constraints required for the piston ring assembly according to the steps, it prompted "incomplete constraint"？I said I followed the official tutorial, why is the result different from what is displayed in the tutorial?Can someone try assembling it according to the tutorial to see if the results are the same as what I got?Thank you！The tutorial can be found at the following link:活塞装配 (ptc.com)

Hey all, I've created a sheetmetal part using the extrude wall feature. I have a basic clamp half where I have a large radius bend in the middle and two tabs/flaps on opposite sides. I have done a flat pattern rep and imported this into a drawing. In my drawing I initially had a rolled bend "U" symbol when calling out my bend angle for the large middle bend. This is exactly what I want. I then increased my part thickness from .060" to .075" and the drawing now has a formed bend "<" symbol instead of a rolled bend. I cannot find how to override this or even "hardcode" the symbol into my bend note. When in my model, I cannot display bend notes/annotations (I'm assuming since the part is an extrude wall feature). I don't know how I can change the "&type" of the bend for an extrude wall feature. Any ideas on what I can do?(Unable to upload model/pictures due to company policy)

HiI wold like to have parameter whit part name.But not only name also  whit .prt  or .asm  at the end.If i made whit relations  model_name=rel_model_name i get only name.example  model name : Plate.prt   parameter -Platei would like to havemodel name : Plate.prt    parameter -Plate.prtHow can i do that. ▋

Is it possible to obtain the dimension object driven by a parameter through the toolkit? Or can you retrieve which parameters drive a given dimension? I've tried various methods but still can't associate the driven dimension with the parameter by toolkit. Even using the ProFeatureExternParentsGet function only know which model it's related to. The only method I can think of right now is to parse all the relations, but this raises another issue: if there are logical conditions like if-else-endif in the relations, it makes the parsing process more complicated. I'd like to know if there are other ways to achieve my goal.  Thank you very much!  

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?
