Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Good morning,    I'm having a similar issue, the thread note that you are seeing is a note of a cosmetic thread,  In the holes made with standard hole   i can apply the note that i would from the .hol file but in the hole made with cosmetic thread i'm not able to understand from where it's taken and i can't edit. Even if in the cosmetic hole thread i'm selecting the same library of the standard hole with the "right " note i'm not able to obtain the result this i want.    any suggestion?   Thanks!   Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Cosmetic-Thread-Class-Issue-Creo-5-0/m-p/612900#M65730 

As part of our migration to Creo 8 / Windchill 12, we came up w/ smart formats fed by parameters in our new start parts.    When we have a new part on a new format life is ezpz. However, if we have an existing part w/o the required parameters things get complicated.  I came up w/ a mapkey to add the needed parameters to the existing part that works well when we want to put this part on a new format. Problem lies in a relation we have in our new start parts.  It's the one below that sets the value of the MATERIAL parameter equal to the value of PTC_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION.  Each material has a defined description in it.        /*This relation sets the material parameter equal to the material description thru a yes/no parameter      IF (USE_MATL_DEF_DESC)==YES      MATERIAL=material_param("PTC_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION")      ENDIF      /*This information needs to be pasted int

Has anyone taken the Creo Certification courses, and if so, was it worth it?  Do you maintain your certification once you've earned it? I primarily work with "complete machining" extension.  I've been using Creo since 2012, currently on Creo 10.  I did a lot more modeling back when I started, but now we receive models from the engineering group and I use them to program the manufacturing. I did go about reaching out to Sales about the associated costs.  My fear is that the courses are sort of entry level and will be a waste of my time.  It appears that it may be an opportunity to see some of the work with the High Speed Milling extensions without having to purchase those licenses. Anyhow, I'd appreciate any input on how other's experiences have been with these certification courses. Thank you,Matt 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0Unable to add transitions or multiple radius values when using the D1 x D2 conic option.

When exporting a cad model as a PDF U3D I select to export annotations and parameters in the content tab however when i open Adobe Acrobat reader, I cannot find the parameters. There is a side section that has property and value columns but no which part I select those columns do not populate. Where are the parameters?

I am having sketching problems when it comes to uniting even simple segments.Maybe my config.pro settings are off, but CREO 10 / Win10 is butchering even the simplest connections between an arc and a segment, or even between two angled segments.Is there a way to fix those red dots? Like uniting them together or something...No matter how much I magnify to see what the problem is, CREO still shows them on the same line, but in the end makes them red anyway!Drives me completely nuts!!!Maybe my settings are wrong, or not set up to snap correctly, but I do not know where to look.

I want to start to use the multibody in the sheet metal. But I need first to implement this feature in my drawing. On my drawing all my drawing, I have a table with the Radius, thickness, K-factor, and a relation that calculate the Outside Bend allowance of my part. All this information is useful for the production. I have try with a test with 2 body, I have insert the body specific information &SMT_DFLT_BEND_RADIUS and &SMT_THICKNESS in the creation of my table, But it only take the base body information. I have also try to add this &SMT_BEND_ALLOWANCE_FACTOR, but the table does not accept this info. And if their a way to have a formula that change with each body to calculate the OBD for 90º of the part.  My old way to give the information still work, but only for a single body, or for a multibody part that are all Body linked. 

I wanted to enable same numbering logic as Windchill OIR on File Name attribute in Creo while creating new object in Creo. With current configuration CAD Objects are creates e.g. PRT002.PRT as shown below  :  I already can create CAD object as per my define OIR as below : Please help me to get Windchill OIR configure to Creo to create CAD objects with same numbering scheme.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0I want to understand how to use the Find tool. If I look for Curve Features and leave an asterisk in the Value field in the Criteria section, the list shows a lot curves found in the model, presumably all of them. It looks like all or most of the curves start with F, like F103(BASE_CIRCLES). But if I type F* in the Value field, zero results appear.I want to understand how this makes sense. Because I want to understand how to use the Find tool effectively. I knew I was trying to find F103, but I didn't know the full name was F103(BASE_CIRCLES). How am I suppose to use the Find tool to find it if the asterisk doesn't work how it normally does? Am I suppose to read through the list of all curves until I find the one I'm looking for? Surely that isn't the case.

I created a local section view on a model back view and I can't get the spline that demarcates the edges of the section view to show up. The spline only appears when I have the dialogue box open for editing the view. As soon as I close out the box, the spline disappears but the section remains. I would like the spline to remain on the view. How can I do this?

Hello, I'm an intermediate Java developer and I'm curious about how to use extrusion and other commands with the Toolkit class. I've gone through the documentation but couldn't find a clear solution. If anyone has experience with this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Hi everyone,   I stop using Creo after 22 years and want like to share all my training videos (with practice parts) to Creo community.    You can watch it for free on Youtube. I created the playlist as below - Creo 3.0 Essential - Creo 3.0 Advance Drawing - Creo 3.0 Mold Design - Creo 4.0 3X Mill - Creo 6.0 Essential (90% same with Creo 3.0 Essential) - Creo 6.0 Product Design - Creo UDF & Family Table - Creo Tip & Trick (Part 1) - Creo Tip & Trick (Part 2) - Creo Tip & Trick (Part 3)   All video is in Vietnamese but you can find the summary of content for each clip in the clip's description. Sorry for this inconvenience   Hoang Khuong

HI all, I got a bunch of quite complex sketches, that serve as gasket centerline in the part. to better see them in the skeleton model assembly, I changed properties of those sketches to a random, different than default appearance. then, as I wanted to go back to their previous style , I've drawn a new sketch and in properties of the sketch copied the style from existing and selected that new entity.result is far from expected, as now I have a line, that is visible the same in 3d, but in different color inside the sketcher compared to fresh sketch. Any tips in resetting the line style of entities that were changed to default style without the need to re-draw all of them again  ? 

Hello,I have been trying to debug this for a while and cannot figure it out. Was hoping someone here could help me.Creo parametric version: 10.0.4Creo Distributed batch version: 10.0.4 What I am trying to do: I have many part files with different names that are 2D curves. I want to export those part files to dxf without opening the files one by one and saving them. What I have done so far:I could not get the proper export of the part files to dxf without opening the part as a drawing first. I created a mapkey that opens the current part as a drawing template with the correct view and scale, then saves that drawing as a dxf. The mapkey works when run manually and does save me time.However, I wanted to speed up the process further by using Creo distributed batch to run that mapkey on all the parts. I have found a way to do this in theory using the mapkey.TTD option in Creo distributed batch. I opened the TTD as text and modified it accordingly so it would run my mapkey (-d

I have  users that are having trouble getting start files. When creating new parts they only get the PTC supplied defaults. They also do not see the Pro/Library option when opening files. They are able to navigate to the Windchill templates manually and open so access isn't an issue. The config pro and sup being used are the same as every other user as they use a start up script. Windchill server is setup the same. We have tried clearing the windchill workspace cache and reinitializing the server connection. Any ideas?

Hello,I am looking for a way to calculate the number of unique component types (excluding duplicates) in an assembly and automatically display this value in a drawing using parameters in Creo Parametric.The goal is to achieve something like the red box in the attached image, where the number of unique components (e.g., ) is calculated and shown. If a part is used multiple times (e.g., the same part number), it should still be counted as one unique type.3Questions:How can I create a parameter that calculates the number of unique component types in an assembly?What steps are needed to insert this parameter into a drawing?Are there any additional Relation settings or tips required to make this work? Example Image Description:The red box in the image shows where I want the number of unique component types (e.g., 3) to appear in the drawing.I would greatly appreciate detailed steps or examples to help implement this. Thank you in advance!

I`d like to define the size of any random screw for my modelling purpose using an excel sheet. Is it possible? If yes, could anyone please explain the process of it?

If the surface is not flat, the displayed dimensions will differ from the actual measurements.        

I’m working on a project in PTC Creo where I need to plot hundreds of points on a curved surface based on predefined X, Y, Z coordinates. I’ve already created a table with these coordinates and successfully imported it into Creo, which generated an accurate set of points. However, in the Model Tree, the points are recognized as a Table Feature rather than a Sketch Feature. My goal is to have these points appear as part of a Sketch Feature to enable better manipulation and integration into downstream modeling tasks. Is there a way to directly import or convert these points (or a .pts file) into a sketch? Alternatively, are there any efficient workarounds or automated methods within Creo to achieve this? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I've made a part through surface modelling in Creo 10 that now needs to be solidified and shelled. The part has family instances of different sizes. The part solidifies succesfully (which also works in each instance), but I can't get it to shell. I've tried using the 'Shell' feature, but also by manually offsetting the surface quilt. The ' Shell feature' results in the error message "Highlighted surfaces are too curved to offset by specified value. Recommended actions: Make a quilt from good surfaces, offset the quilt, make patches over missing surfaces." Offsetting 'unproblematic' surfaces works (with difficulty) in the master model, but at least one of the family instances always fails, depending on the surfaces I exclude from the offset. If I remove the surface(s) that causes one failure, I will have an error in a different surface the next time around. Any advice or ideas for solving this? I would like to avoid remodelling the entire inner surface

Creo 8.0 UserWe recently upgraded from a Canon Tx-4000 to a Tx-4200 and we have an odd issue when plotting a drawing. No matter what size we print (Ansi A, B, C, D, etc....)  It will plot full scale to the correct size then scroll about 3 or 4 ft of excess paper before cutting. Almost to the size of an Ansi EX.  I initially thought it was a plotter setting because we did not have the issue with the previous plotter.   If I convert it to a .pdf and plot it cuts to the correct size. I also spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with canon and they basically told me it was a software issue. With that said is there a PCF file setting that controls that?Below is the current PCF file. button_help Plant 11 Canon plotter_command windows_print_manager \\vwentapp516801p\MM_CAPP_11_Eng_pltpen_table_file q:\creo\configs\pcf_fdl\designjets.pntallow_file_naming noplotter DESIGNJETcreate_separate_files nodelete_after_plotting yesinterface quality 3pen_slew no_s

 any drawing properties to change in .dtl file?

Hai all,   Please refer below. Here the Smart hole chart option "Show hole ID" will show the individual hole position when selecting the respective table raw. It will be great if i can select the full set of type holes (Example A1-A4) to see where these holes are positioned. This will be helpful when showing the hole details in section view as i don't want to show same hole type in multiple section views. please let me know in any way it is possible.     Best regards, Abhinand
