Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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?  

I have followed the tutorial on this reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/New-to-Creo-and-visual-cosmetic-threads/m-p/986492#M137459  and it worked fine. However when I close Creo and restart the mapkey it is not working anymore.   What did I do wrong?

Hi folks,I'm wondering if it's possible manage elements that era created using the "Prismatic Elements" control.   It doesn't feel the other control on the geometry like "Maximum element size" or also the general Mesh setting as Max aspect ratio.   If you see the attached pic, where I've marked the two red brackets, I can't set the Wedge depth.   At the moment I work around this issue with the addiction of much volume regions (second pic attached). Thanks

No idea why CREO would create these COPY entries. Sometimes there are three of them for the same feature, and not necessarily in order of COPY 1 to 3.I would probably not even notice these until one of my chamfers refused to work properly on a very simple part (at the end of a cylinder).It would create the chamfer, it would show its profile in sketching, but in the end would not remove the material at all, just put some exterior rings for where the chamfer should have been. And no error was raised. Took me some time to figure out that the chamfer was applied to one of the COPY entries, even though I was clicking on the EXTRUDE feature itself.I had no idea what to do, so I deleted all the COPY entries and nothing was lost, it seemed that the part was really not affected by this -- and then the chamfer started working properly.Any ideas what these entries are and why are they created?Thank you!

I am looking for a way to create Unit Basis (Rate of Change) on a Flatness. I tried applying it in Annotate with a Composite frame, but it gives me a message stating that the "Per Unit Basis is not Compatible with the Specified Characteristic symbol." There doesn't seem to be a direct way to apply Unit Basis to Form.  I am also looking for a way to change the Tolerance Standard to ASME. It looks like ANSI and ISO are allowed out of the box. How would I add the ASME standard?  

I was working with exploded views that can be pulled from the subassemblies to the parent using the default explode. However the explode lines from the subassembly are not showing in the parent. Is that how its supposed to work or am I missing a setting that can bring the explode lines into the parent?

Hello, I have an issue here when exporting the flat state of Sheetmetal parts. DXF will be created from the drawing.We have checked off the splines option in the export menu.In most cases the splines (end points) in the exported DXF file are not connected. Our supplier needs to connect the end points by themselves.When I change splines to polylines, the end points are connected but the geometry contains only straight lines, we don't want this as well. Are there any settings we have to use to solve this issue

I have a part that shows the wireframe lines in white (for some reason, maybe the person who created it had a black background, otherwise I cannot see the reason for this).Is there a setting that controls the color of the lines in the wireframe view? Could also play with the thickness of those lines if there is a setting for that...But the COLOR is the burning issue for all parts that come with white/light gray lines.I tried Appearance --> System_Appearance color settings, but could not get it right, I found how to change the hidden lines color, but only that.Using CREO 10 on Windows 10.Many thanks!

As per the original post.    Hi BenLoosli,   In one of my project I have to update the assignee and reviewer details on drawing. So we are using the format to update this  for new also we are using format. Now to update the required parameters on drw. We are using Custom delegate. But seems like there is a glitch like sometime it is working fine and sometime it is not but in creo I can see the parameters with correct values. So I am not understanding why it is happening.    

Hi everyone, Long time viewer, first time poster.I am trying to make a chassis consisting of a swept C channel. It is consisting of a c channel changing in height but also is at an angle with reference to the original section.While looking simple, it has me quite flustured on the correct way to perform this. Got it half way there with the swept blend feature. But I am unable to rip the walls and create a flat pattern. How would you guys go about this? Keeping the model also simple to adjust. I am using CREO  4.0  Cheers, Peter 

I want to create a groove around the internal bore of a component, for an oil groove, the drawing dimensions show the start and end points as the same, so a continuous loop, but the groove moves along a helical sweep to its position 180 degrees from start, then returns to the origin.  Ive been looking at curves from equations to create the sweep profile, but struggling.  Attached a pic of the groove.

So i have been working on a project on my creo students version (creo parametric 11.0)and it seems that i am getting fatal errors frequently in some few minutes itself after opening the file.[i have been modelling with an imported IGES model.]so please find me some solutionsthis is the message im getting and dont know what to do please some one come to my aid .and i have also added my trace back log  too

I am trying to sweep a surface over a trajectory that has concave round edges. The problem is that it creates body that is overlapping. I need a single smooth body. Any ideas? 

Using Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0, is it possible to create an animation using both a servo motor and explode? Attempting to explode/unexplode an assembly, then show rotation using the servo motor. Can these two features be used simultaneously or will separate animations have to be created? 

Hi, I have create a cylinder which has a rope, when we rotate the cylinder the rope should move/rotate along the cylinder & repeat back to same position. Kindly help with an example if possbile. ThanksNaresh

Hi,I'm using Creo Parametric 9.0.6.0. I'm looking for help finding out the name of the calculated angle dimension in a pattern. I have a part that has a specifiable angle, 90 or 60 (red arrow). I need a different quantity of features (green check marks) depending on the angle of the part. These features must also start a specific distance away from an both inner edges. In order to pattern the features I created a curve (yellow line) at the constant offset from the inner edges (blue lines). In the pattern, my driving items are the curve and the number of features I want the pattern to have. It gives a resulting angle dimension between features (2nd image, red box), I'd like to use that value to show in the family table or show on a drawing. Is there a way for me to link to that value, does it have a name hidden somewhere?   

Hello All,  I wanted ot know what type of analysis is it called. I have a 60m large rotating assembly mounted on static structure. So I wanted to know whether the static structure can withstand the dynamic load + static load of rotating components and static components together.  Can you please advise whether its possible in CREO simulate? if yes then kindly request you to share info on its procedure. 

Is anyone else having config control issues with this new Creo+ update? All of our config options pointed to Windchill are broken and half of the others arent working correctly. I know PTC wanted to move all these option to the Creo portal but it seems like alot of things were not accounted for. Having to individually go into each of our company profiles and update the config since the global config option doesn't work is one thing we've run into. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Or workarounds?

Hi I want to attach an existing symbol(.sym) to a dimension in the drawing file. I need a c# or a c++ code to do this activity. Thanks in Advance 

I am trying to show axis for slotted holes,  Creo 4.0  

Dear All,   I am converting a 2D drawing from a part of an existing product into a MBD dataset. To do so, I would like my MBD dataset to fully encompass all the annotations found in the 2D drawing (as they are the critical dimensions of the part), however, on the 2D drawing a Pitch Circle Dimension (PCD) of a hole pattern has been specified. I tried to annotate this through selecting 'Show dimensions' on the holes that lay on the pitch circle, but this did not work. Furthermore I tried 'Dimension' from the annotations tab but this also seemed to not be able to show the PCD. On both PTC (community) website and Google I could not find any answer on how to do this correctly, so therefore I am posting here. My question is: How can I (3D) annotate the Pitch Circle Dimension?   I did find a small work around, to use 'dimension' between two holes of the dimension. This sort of gives the dimension of the PCD, but the two holes are not parallel to the x-axis of the annotation plane. S

Typically,I create a 2D cam diagram in Creo using the "Create a curve by using an equation" feature.After generating the curve,I create a new sketch and project the curve onto it.Additionally,I save a copy of this sketch. Subsequently, I utilize the "Datum" -> "GRAPH" option,and then I insert the copied sketch (the file) into this "graph" feature.Next, I employ the "graph" and the "evalgraph" function to construct a 3D cam diagram suitable for Creo's sweep cut feature.Thus, there are two cam diagrams in my process:One is a regular sketch that is linked to the 2D equation curve, which I use for making drawings;The other is the sketch in the "GRAPH".I believe there might be a better method for creating a barrel cam model and its associated drawings.I would appreciate it if you could share your experience,thank you~!

Hi,I want to know if it is possible to create a "Default Envelope Rep" that excludes internal components and I can solidify using JLink?   and I want to set quality also 

1. Describe the Problem Please update the drawing creation tool so that it isn't terrible.  The automatic dimensioning is a mess.  The leader placement for hole callouts is ridiculous.  It is far too many clicks to add basics such as hole centermarks, let alone the nightmare of patterning centermarks for a bolt circle.  Maybe have someone on the staff with experience working to common engineering standards help out the programmers? Why have you inflicted this upon us? 2. Are you using a workaround?Yes, encouraging my management to dump Creo for one of its more competent competitors.3. What is the use case for your organization?We make standard engineering drawings.4. What impact does this problem currently have on your organization?Wasted time, money, effort, lots of staff time spent complaining about how awful Creo is.
