Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello, I am on creo parametric 7.0.4.0. I am trying to change the material of a part that has a locked parameter. Here's the error message I get: "Can not change the assignment of a material of PRIMARY_BODY in V004932_GEAR_WORM_DX.PRT, since it is locked. " I can find the locked parameter by right clicking on the body and selecting "Parameters", which is different than Tools-> Parameters.  I have already verified that the copy geometry is not pulling in a material. (unchecked the box for that)I have tried to add: allow_create_pdm_param yes  but It cannot be added to my config.pro.I suspect the parameter is locked because the copy geometry references an "import feature". The locked parameters have sources of "copy" and "creo parametric" and cannot be unlocked by getting into a drop down menu by clicking.   I am using Windchill, but because the source isn't windchill, I don't suspect that's the issue. I have attached a pictur

Ok, so, for a LOOOOONG time I've wanted to make 7 other iso views like the Default Orientation, but never was able to find actual information to make it work.  There was some numbers I found here some time ago based on Radians....but they weren't quite correct, and that bugged the cr@p out of me.  since we're revising our start models and I REALLY finally wanted to put this to bed, I FINALLY was able to find the info that I needed.  In looking at it, I figured the rotation angle around the Y axis (relative to the screen) HAD to be 45deg (+ or - depending)...and it is, but what was the horizontal angle?  I found the last clue here for the "True" representation (FINALLY!): https://support.ptc.com/help//creo/ced_modeling/r20.5.0.0/en/index.html#page/ced_modeling/OSDM_Annotation/am_settings_isometric_view.html   I've attached the Word doc I made, but for, say, Iso-Front-Left-Top orientation, the angles when starting from the FRONT view are: (DEFAULT TYPE ISO VIEWS

Creo 7 I recently ran into this issue. I have a coworker who starts with an existing design, makes the necessary changes, and updates the drawing.Once I get ahold of the drawing file and open it, I get flagged with the "Fixed Partially Deleted Items" error. When the file finally opens it contains all my coworkers new views, but they are overlapped with the views he deleted. They only show up when I open it. It seems they are referred to as ghost parts? Is there a way to prevent this? Thank you!

Hello, I'm currently attempting to display the "&DESCRIPTION" parameter of a subassembly within a larger assembly model, but am having issues. Here is what I've currently tried:Typing "&DESCRIPTION" into a leader note attached to the subassembly displays the description for the overall assembly, which is not what I'm looking for.I'm aware of some modifiers that can be added to these commands to change how they display. When I type "&DESCRIPTION:att_mdl", I get the parameter for the specific PART within said subassembly. I'm combing the list on PTC but none are jumping out as the solution (but maybe one of them is). Is there a way to acquire this parameter for the intermediate subassembly? I can access it while searching around the parameter lists, but I don't know what command to type to display it. I have several subassemblies in this assembly and would like to show the name/description for each of them in one view.

Hi I have weak dimensions turned off. I find it annoying in sketching, when you attached a dimension to a circle, it defaults to radius. It would be more intuitive to have it default to radius dimension for arcs only.   Anyone agree?   Any way to set this functionality?   Cheers!   Rick in Mississauga,

I am using Creo Parametric Release 2.0 and DatecodeM150Creo Parametric exits with 'Auto Traceback Info' dialog having warning, "Fatal error encountered. A traceback has been written to C:\Users\Public\Documents\traceback.log.

I insert images as Paintbrush object or as image and whenever I erase memory a reopen the drawing, all images appears as grey rectangles. THey are not printed in PDF. I've seen an article that encourage to change "Config Color Option" from NO to YES but I'm not being able to find it. I'm using Creo 9.0.8.0Thanks!

Why does this happen so often?When extruding a sketch, feature is forcing me to remove material even though I want to add material. The "Remove material" button is grayed out and I can't unselect it. Usually there's a small issue with the sketch that I need to fix, but not this time. I see no issues now.How can I get it to unselect "Remove material"? 

Hi Folks, I am using Creo 7.0.8.0. In earlier versions of Creo, I remember being able to bend 4 walls of a simple sheetmetal box in one feature by control-clicking the 4 edges of the first planar feature. I can't seem to do this anymore. When I hold the ctrl key, there is no option to select additional edges. I have to create 4 separate flat-bend features to create a box. Am I missing something here? Thank you.

Hi!I am using Creo  Parametric 10.0.5.0 and am having issues with my local parameters not updating. Some background- there was an existing part very similar to the one I needed to create with some minor changes. I pulled that part from Windchill, and added it to my Workspace. From there, I did a rename & save, and updated the part accordingly. We then use cosmetic sketches to define key parameters so later we can search for parts by those parameters in Windchill. In this example, I am creating a housing for a bearing, and the OD of the housing is defined "L". From there, we have a whole "Relation Pack" where we input the specifics of the housing like housing type, size, etc. and then based on the relations and associated cosmetic sketches, it creates the bedacodes used in Windchill. Continuing with the OD of the housing example- we have something like:if design=="FB"     if type_lub          BL02=Lelse          B

I am on CREO 7.0.12.0 and I want to know if there is a button or a mapkey to 'flip normal view' 180 degrees? Sometimes it happens that I make a section and want to look at it, so I have made a shortcut button for "Normal to" but it goes to the wrong half where I don't see the section I made. In SolidWorks I can just press the normal to button/shortcut again and it will flip me to the other side immediately. But in CREO it doesn't do anything.Is there a way to flip normal views automatically?

HI everyone,I'm using Creo Parametric v. 9. I would like to know if there is a way in which is possible to understand if a cad is associated to a WTPart in Windchill, in order to use it into an if statement in the part/assembly relations.I could not find anything on this topic on the net.Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. 

Hi, When loading the index file file in Firefox (version 134.0.1):///<Creo 11 install.>/Common%20Files/protoolkit/protkdoc/manual0/loadApiWizard.html The tree section loads, but selecting any link on the tree does not bring up the page in the main window, it only leaves it blank: I am able to open to open a link in a new tab which works fine (but only opens the function page, so the tree is gone)It has previously worked.It also works in Edge and Chrome. Obviously not a major concern, but quite inconvenient. I wonder if anyone has experienced this also or know how to resolve? Thanks

HelloI would like to know if it is possible to leave CREO with two languages, when it opens I can select which one I want.

Dear Admin,In PTC Creo, the "Mold Cavity" and "Cast Cavity" option are disabled in the Manufacturing module. How could I enable this feature.Best regards,Shahid IqbalFig : Shown as Grayed out  

Hello, I am running Creo 10.0.4.0. I am trying to figure out if there's a way to populate a BOM in a drawing with the information of a coordinate system. For example, I would like to populate the below BOM with the coordinate system information from the below part so "TEST" would then appear in the "COORDINATE SYSTEM" column. I have tried asm->mbr->User Defined -> coordinatesystem, coordinate_system, coordinate system, and origin. Perhaps there is another keyword to reference that line item? Or perhaps another selection from the region that is not asm->mbr?   Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,I’m currently using a floating student license provided by my university, and I have a question about compatibility between the educational and commercial versions of PTC software.As part of my project, I need to design a part and an assembly that will be inserted into an existing assembly created using a commercial license. The part should remain editable even after the project is completed.Does anyone know if a part created in the educational version can be opened and modified in the commercial version without issues? Are there any restrictions or workarounds I should be aware of?Thanks in advance for any insights!SincerelyPeter

When i click setup.exe it doesnt open anything it just loads for 2 seconds and disapear. I tried turning off firewall, cmd commands, different Creo versions from 11.0-8.0 and nothing works. Help

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.11.0According to ISO 14405 - 1, it should be possible to further specify both tolerance values with a symbol in the case of asymmetrical tolerancing. E.g. ‘GN’ for upper limit and ‘LP’ for lower limit. How can the symbols be assigned to the tolerance values in Creo?

Does anyone know if there is a similiar functionality for Creo Parametric available like in the video for Creo Elements/Direct?Enhanced Multi-language Drawings Support | Creo Elements/Direct 20.6 If there is a similar Video for Creo Parametric I have not found it and I would appreciate a link to it.Or is there a solution for this functionality in MBD?

Hi I'm creating simplyfied Representations for large Assemblies using Creo 8.0.4.0 Parametrics.In the Representation Editor menu exists the option to add columns.But if I add a column and then restart the PC, the added column is disappeared again.How can I save the added column so that the column always remains? Thank you in advance.Pius

Hello PTC Community,I hope this message finds you well.I am working on a project where I need to generate a list of all components and datum planes via WebLink. The list should have three columns:Column 1: Component name /Datum Plane nameColumn 2: All available featureIDs for each component (I have attempted this with pwlMdlFeaturesGet but haven't been successful)Column 3: Identification of whether it is a datum plane, prt, or asm Here is my current code:<script language="JavaScript"> try { if (pfcIsMozilla()) netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect"); wpwl = pfcGetScript (); document.pwl = wpwl; wpwlc = wpwl.GetPWLConstants (); document.pwlc = wpwlc; wpwlf = wpwl.GetPWLFeatureConstants (); document.pwlf = wpwlf; } catch (err) { alert ("Exception caught: "+pfcGetExceptionType (err)); } function WlModelGetBOM() { var table = document.getElementById("bomTable"); table.innerHTML = ""; // Clear previous content var ret = document

What is the fiel format of a CREO part file? Binary? I am lookign at extracting the values associated with user-defined parameters defined in a CREO part. Maybe using CREOSON (just gathering info at the moment) ThanksJohn

I'm working on a weld assembly and there's something that's so extremely frustrating, I really need a solution to this.Whenever I place a weld I get the huge leader with all kind of stuff on it. For example I create a fillet weld all around a part. Ofcourse, like you would expect from Creo Parametric, the automatic All-around option doesn't work so I manually set it to yes. At this point I don't need to see the weld length. I never want to see the > shape at the end of the tail. So for every single weld I need to go to the symbol customization menu and turn off the > shape and the Weld length (which is called style for whatever reason). You can't mapkey this because the menu ID changes every time. Now comes the fun part. When I add other welds or change other welds that have no relationship whatsoever to the first weld, the whole weld symbol resets. Even its position! The company that advises us on using this CAD program, told us you have to reattach all your welds afte

Good morning everyoneI have a problem with 2d dimensioning....It happens to me like this: I select the "coordinate dimension" command, I choose the positioning,I go to select the two dimensions that I am interested in inserting.....but nothing does not insert them, highlights them but nothing they remain there in their place.....I open some old drawings and it works!!!!!!!!.....?????Can anyone give me a tip?   Translated by the moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Buongiorno a tuttiHo un problema sulla quotatura 2d....Mi succede cosi': seleziono il comando " quota di coordinate",scelgo il posizionamento,Vado a selezionare le due quote che mi interessano da inserire.....ma niente non le inserisce,le evidenzia ma niente rimangono li al loro posto.....Apro dei drawing veccchi e li funziona!!!!!!!!.....?????Qualcuno sa darmi una dritta?
