Creo+ and Creo Parametric

We recently installed a new server.I updated the FlexLM license server to the latest version compatible with Creo 9. I think this was just the latest version.I can no longer use ptcflush to clear out a license that is “stuck” on the server. The error message I get states that it can’t find the server. Specifically, it returns:lmremove: License server machine is down or not responding. (-96,7:11001 “WinSock: Host not found (HOST_NOT_FOUND”)I know the license server is running just fine, it’s supplying me with the arguments for the ptcflush command.I wonder:(1) Is ptcflush attempting to use a port to communicate with the server? A port that is likely not open according to our IT policies? Part of the server replacement was yet another tightening of access (can’t ping, can’t do a lot of things anymore).(2) Is there a character limit on the server argument of the ptcflush command? Our old server name was 12 characters, the new one is 16 characters. You know, for more security…The name of t

I have code that I have written in C using the toolkit on Creo Parametric 12.4.3.0.  It tries to connect to Creo using ProEngineerConnect(), and it works fine if Creo is up.  When Creo is not running it returns a PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND value, which is expected.  If I have the call to ProEngineerConnect in a for-loop my executable dies after the third try when Creo is not running.  Here is the call:iStatus = ProEngineerConnect("",NULL,NULL,"",PRO_B_TRUE,10U,&bRandom,&hSession);This code worked just fine using Creo 10, but is failing under Creo 12.  I am using VS 2022. 

HiIs there a way to create multileader line from 2 sides of a Note?  In my drawing it looks like this 

Is there a way to create multiple leader that comes from both sides of note? I wish to have lines started from both sides or at least from the bottom of the text.   Alternative solutions: I can create a note with leader on the left and attach "empty note" on the right side of the existing one and attach leader to the right side. But there is not a satisfied solution.  

Good morning to everyone, also if I am an old Creo-Pro/Engineer User this is my first approach to the community :-)Every part modeled in the sheet metal environment must be unfoldable in its flat pattern configuration; otherwise, I will model it as a non-unfoldable solid part, since I would not have the features and utilities of a sheet metal part.I opened a ticket a couple of weeks ago, but it seems there are not solutions.How can we scalate this issue to have a solution from PTC ? 

According to the developer guide tkusetoc, this function supports passing a drawing view argument to display annotations only in the target view starting from Creo Parametric 2.0 M060. The official documentation states:From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, you can specify the view in which the annotations for the selected feature and component must be displayed. For the functions ProAnnotationByFeatureShow() and ProAnnotationByComponentShow(), specify the view where the annotations must be displayed. If you pass the input argument view as NULL, the annotations are displayed in all the views.However, during practical development, the function returns error code -9 (PRO_TK_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) whenever a valid non-NULL ProView handle is passed to the view parameter. When passing NULL to the view argument, all annotations are displayed across every drawing view as documented, which works as expected. My business requirement is to show feature annotations exclusively in a single specified draw

Summary of the IssueCreo Parametric 13.4.0.0 is causing a catastrophic failure of the Windows graphics subsystem across every machine tested, including: University lab computers Instructor workstations Student laptops My personal workstation The failure is identical across all systems: initiating certain display operations causes a full backscreen eventObserved BehaviorAcross all affected machines: Entire display system blacks out All monitors reset No Creo traceback or crash log is generated System becomes unresponsive for several seconds Creo must be manually relaunched, unsaved work is lost. Crashes occur seemingly at random. This issue is present on my personal computer, laptop, university computers, instructor computers, and other student’s personal machines. 

actually my question is after dividing an line into several sections how to rejoin it again into an single line segment ?

Hi, I’m looking to upgrade from Creo 11 to Creo 12. I noticed that when I launch Creo 12 my creo_parametric_customization.ui is not taken in account anymore.The help for Creo 12 says this :The load order is automatically defined as follows:1. Administrator Customization (if it exists at the loading point (What’s the loading point ?))2. User Customization (<Users>\AppData\Roaming\PTC\ProENGINEER\Wildfire\.wf\. Settings)3. Customization of the execution directory (if the value load_ui_customization_run_dir is set to yes) I have a file  creo_parametric_admin_customization.ui from my installation at this location : I have my personal file here : And I don’t have the parameter load_ui_customization_run_dir in my config.pro.When I load Creo, it loads with the default interface, why ?We are two users. I would to have a base customization for us two and let my colleague and me have it’s own customization as well. How can I achieve this ?

Hi everyone,As a long-time Creo user, I’ve dealt with my fair share of CAD administration headaches—from messy version clutter to tangled config.pro files. Over the years, I developed and refined custom scripts and batch files to automate the tedious parts of managing a Creo ecosystem.I’ve packaged those solutions into CoreCP (Creo Companion), a lightweight tool designed to handle background file maintenance, quarantine old iterations, and manage user environments effortlessly.I'm making it available to the community, and you can try a free demo here: https://coreCP.e-cogniton.netWould love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Hey all,If you’ve used Creo Parametric for any length of time, you know how annoying file housekeeping and configuration management can get. After years of tweaking .bat files and automation scripts to keep my own workspace up, I finally decided to turn them into a complete utility: CoreCP.It handles automatic folder sweeping/quarantine, environment configuration, and version protection directly from the Windows right-click menu.You can grab a free trial at https://corecp.e-cognition.net/.Check it out and let me know what you think!

Hi all, I've had this problem since creo 3 and can't figure it out.  I've got one CSYS referenced off another CSYS, and I want to change the orientation of the child about one of its axes. In this case, it's a 90 degree elbow fitting and I want to rotate it so the hose part of the elbow is clocked but the threaded part stays in the tapped hole.    So I want to re-orient about Z of the child, or about Y of the parent, which are both in the same direction.    If I change the X orientation, the child CSYS 'nods' about its own X axis, as expected.    Changing 'Y' orientation, the child CSYS shakes it's head left to right, again as expected.    However, I want to tilt it about it's own Z axis, -100 below, but when I do that, the CSYS 'nods' again the exact same direction as when I change the X rotation. This is not what I expected and doesn't match the orientation of the dimensions on the screen.    Is this a bug that has been

I have a part with a helical sweep that I need to machine.  I would like it to place the tool in such a way as to follow a continuing loop from the outside edge until it reaches the bottom of the groove.  This is a R.325 with 30 degree lead ins and I will be using a 1/2” ball.  My initial thought was cutline, but since there really is no 2nd cutline, it doesn’t work.  The auto cutline doesn’t work either. Attached is a photo.  You can see where one end of the helix starts, the other end looks the same, but is 180 degrees apart from the start.  I’d really like to tackle this with a continuous 4 axis motion instead of what would be a simplier approach in using straight surface milling. I’d appreciate any ideas. Thank you!

I have a user getting the following error when launching  The latest Trial version of Creo Parametric. “Creo Parametric Trial Edition is shutting down because it could not run the Quality Agent, which is required in this edition. error 0x0000000b” Anyone know a fix for this?

OK, a weird one..2 issues: 1st issue is that my Creo 9 has decided to open in a minimized state.  Nothing changed on my end, except a recent windows update.  Now I get a very small Creo window, when I used to get an almost maximized window.  all settings are as they were the week before 2nd issue is that when I open a drawing, I get a blank sidebar, a 2nd blank ‘model tree’.  There is nothing in it, and no top bar to close or anything.  it’s just a blank ‘sidebar.  And it covers content.. And it’s only with .DRW files.. The work-around is to close Creo, then restart it / open it again.  Creo then starts up in a nearly full window, and teh blank sidebar is gone. any ideas?

I have a datautility for a classification attribute, using the selector of classification attribute, can we apply the same logic to another attribute? ​@HelesicPetr 

This 1st picture is without chamfer and if I measure it. it shows 61mm (Abstand) This 2nd picture is after a put chamfer. but when I try to measure from the middle of chamfer to the side surafec it shows 60.5mm.While I was annotating, I chose the two marked (in red) to measure.  So How do I correctly choose the apex of the chamfer?  I should be getting 61mm 

I tried doing the suggestions in this topic: Hide sketches from drawings | Communitybut in my drawing, Still I’m still not able to remove the sketch in this ISO view.I did hide all the sketch layers and the sketch and saved the status.I’m using creo 11.0.1 Please let me know if I missed any steps

Hi, everyone! I was wondering: is there a way to set in parameters or templates the bend position to “add geometry” instead of standard option to the keep wall profile? I would like to have it as default for all my designs from the beggining instead of having to set it manually on every new design. Bend position. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,I am simulating the attached link mechanism (car seat flip-up with leg folding) in Creo MDO.(To get operating torque for seat flip up at each angle) However, the measured motor torque varies significantly depending on the flip-up motor speed and the minimum interval settings. In my current model, I observed the following:  Motor speed: 10 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 to 0.01 Result: Motor torque oscillates significantly. Motor speed: 1 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 or 0.1 Result: Stable torque results. Motor speed: 0.1 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 to 0.01 Result: Simulation fails because the slot connection breaks. Based on these results, it seems that using a slower motor speed and a smaller minimum interval does not always improve simulation stability. Could anyone explain why this behavior occurs and share any recommendations for improving the stability of MDO simulations? Any best practices for selecting motor speed, interval settings, or other solver parameters would be greatly

Hello! I’m trying to make a simple cable harness 2 wires going from connector 1 to connector 2.There are 2 coordinate systems in each connector that I have made.On my drawing i’m trying to use repeat regions to display which port in the connector each wire should connect to. However no pin no. gets displayed, it doesn’t matter if I select the repeat region to be driven by the assembly or the connector part.I’m using &harn.run.cond.from.pin.entry_port and have tried a bunch of others but it remains blank regardless.I have tried creating Terminators inside the assembly but am unable to do anything besides create it? No editing or anything seems to be possible. I read some other posts where they supposedly add cabling parameters somehow? I don’t see how to do it.Any help to display pins on the drawing would be greatly appreciated!

Hello folks,   a colleague asked me if I knew a way to copy the name of a selected model tree element to the clipboard.Since I could not find an out-of-the-box solution, I developed a small tool for this purpose myself:"Copy Model Tree Element Name To Clipboard"Maybe someone else would like to use the tool.
