Creo+ and Creo Parametric

To all Pro/E WF4.0 and Creo5 gurus,Is there a way to use variables inside the paths in a config.pro file?Example: system_colors_file c:\pro\Garland\%USERNAME%\sf\syscol.sclThis does not work. Saved the syscol.scl from inside Pro/E to have old school background. Restarted Pro/E, no beuno.Weird thing is though, the one for trail file location works:trail_dir c:\pro\Garland\%USERNAME%\sfgo figureIf anyone has any insight on this I would appreciate it. I just want the users to be able to store things like system colors in default user location that is specific to only them.Thanks!This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0.  Background:I am producing a mdl/dwg for manufacturing which uses the final machining mdl as a merged part.  I am doing this to create a mdl/dwg template for automation which will be driven by the final machining mdl. Majority of the dimensions from the final machining mdl are needed for the manufacturing dwg. Question:Outside of manually recreating these dimensions in the manufacturing mdl, does anyone know if there is a way to display the dimensions from the merged final machining mdl in the manufacturing dwg? Thank you!

i already did a topic about this, but im still have the same problems the path only works on the first try after i change it. But on the 2nd inicialization doesnt work anymore, i dont know what to do anymore.maybe its something in my config search_path_file $CREO_COMMON_FILES\ifx\parts\prolibrary\search.protemplate_new_ecadasm $PRO_DIRECTORY\templates\inlbs_ecad_asm.asmtemplate_boardpart $PRO_DIRECTORY\templates\inlbs_ecad_board.prtsearch_path_file $CREO_COMMON_FILES\afx\parts\prolibrary\search.prodrawing_setup_file C:\Users\Nicolas Santos\PTC CREO\Geral Caterpillar\(Loc)Start_files\Active Drawing_REV.dtlformat_setup_file C:\Users\Nicolas Santos\PTC CREO\Geral Caterpillar\Folhas\mfgtb-c.frmmdl_tree_cfg_file C:\Users\Nicolas Santos\PTC CREO\Geral Caterpillar\(Loc)Start_files\tree.cfgpro_font_dir C:\Users\Nicolas Santos\PTC CREO\Geral Caterpillar\(Loc)Start_filespro_material_dir C:\Users\Nicolas Santos\PTC CREO\Geral Caterpillar\Biblioteca_elementos\Materialspro_plot_config_dir

I have reinstalled creo and am getting a display error or have set something incorrectly...The computer should easily fulfill the system requirements, i have already reinstalled it several times and restarted the computer but without success...can someone please help, screenshots and video are attached Thanks in advance

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0, there is some unexpected exception happended with following code,I.m sure that the .prt I got from session is valid.My finally purpose is creating a new pfcTransform3D and setting the matirx data, then call this api to change view in window.//Get Current Mdl From Sessionvar session = pfcGetProESession();var part = session.CurrentModel;if (part.Type == pfcCreate ("pfcModelType").MDL_PART) {        var pfcTransform3D = part.GetCurrentViewTransform();        //below code cause an exception (pfcXToolkitBadInputs)        part.SetCurrentViewTransform(pfcTransform3D);}

Hello, I would like to to override a few items in a BOM table and keep all the items programed.  I have the following code entered but its not working, I would like "XX" to be renamed to the actual part name "HEX BOLT" Are there any specific settings I need to review?Does the type need to be defined, if so where do I do that? The view contains an assembly with a simplified rep. I'm using Creo 7.0 

Modelcheck can currently check for component states including: suppressed, flexible, failed, missing, etc., but it does not seem to be able to check for hidden (that is, not displayed) components. Please refer to the attached picture.

Hi!  For a few days ago i have upgraded my Creo Parametric 3.0 up to 4.0. When i try to open it, it says that quality agent could not run and all crashes. I have win 10 and M020 version of Creo if it has something to do with the issue.

We are using Creo 8.0 and want to add a header row to our BOM table which includes the part number - in our case this is the parameter MATERIAL.  An example is attached.  I have no problem with the BOM/repeat region part of this.  I can easily add the part number to the header by changing the text in the header cell to: ... &MATERIAL.  The problem comes when I want to save that table and have others use it on their drawings.  As soon as I enter: &MATERIAL, Creo adds the session ID &MATERIAL:#.  If I then save the table and put it in another drawing where the session ids are different it comes in as material:#.  If I make the table in a part, it saves the table input as &MATERIAL without the session ID but then I can't have the BOM repeat region I need.  I have tried it both with and without additional text in the header:  BILL OF MATERIALS FOR: &MATERIAL versus just &MATERIAL.  PTC says this works to spec and the

Hello,I want to automate the drilling process using XML – I am using UDFs to create holes and I want to add XML for drilling and threading. When I do this, I have, for example, 10 holes and 10 annotations with XML. In Process Manager, I call them, and even when I check AutoMerge, it inserts 10 drilling and threading operations instead of one merged drilling operation and one merged threading operation that would include all 10 holes in two operations instead of 20. I found this video (17:30) where it works, and I am not sure where I am making a mistake.https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Tips/Mfg-Automation-Tips-Techniques-Session-Recording-West-Coast/ta-p/820680

Hi All,   I'm quite new to customisation using web.link. I have a customisation that is very close to doing what I need, except that I cannot work out how to trigger a certain option. I have already worked out, from the documentation that the pfcModel.ExportIntf3D() instruction will use the default export profile for the export settings, which is OK. I can control this easily with our setup. However, when exporting manually there is the option "Customize Export", a check box in the "Save a Copy" dialogue box. If I use this, I can export my assembly with the origin point set to a coordinate system of my choosing. How can I either invoke this dialogue or set the origin of the export to an existing named coordinate system (e.g. "export_csys") in the assembly? Is this possible?  

Hello all, I am having issues with incomplete boundaries formed when I apply seperate mesh parameters to two parts. This mesh size difference is required due to the size of the part and fluid transfer taking place in the pipes (it's a cold plate).This incomplete boundary means that there is almost no thermal transfer between the two parts as the meshes don't actually touch the majority of the time. Both parts are meshed with different parameters in both relative and absolute terms but with zero minimum cell size, and done via 'update', so my belief was that they should follow a common boundary. Is there a technique I should use to ensure consistent boundaries with the seperate mesh parameters? Below are a couple of images. The X-section shows a clear disconnect between the two meshes, and the coloured plot shows the blue general boundary that has suceeded between the two parts.  Any help is greatly appreciated, as I have spent many hours trying to solve th

I’m wondering if it’s possible to perform FEM simulations with the student version of Creo 11, specifically for lattice structures. Does the student version support this type of simulation? Also, is there a way to export lattice structures from Creo to Ansys Workbench for FEM analysis? Standard formats like STEP and IGES don’t work for transferring these detailed structures. If anyone has experience or knows of an alternative method for exporting lattice geometries to Ansys, I’d appreciate any advice!

Lets say I have a Creo part file in engineering. It has multiple combined states, layers, appearance states, MBD dimensions, colors etc etc added to it.  I want to make a copy of this file (for manufacturing) ...that is still linked to the origin engineering file. While also keeping the combined states, MBD dimensions, and colors etc etc of the original engineering file.   One way linked? Where If i change the engineering file...it will alter the manufacturing file, but changing the manufacturing file will NOT change the base engineering file? Is this possible? I was originally thinking of making an assembly. Adding in the original engineering part into the assembly. Then adding in a blank manufacturing part also into the assembly. Then doing a copy/solidify of the engineering file into the manufacturing file.  But I think I will lose all my combined states, colors, etc. Any other workarounds? I'm trying to keep these linked,

Hello everybody I alredy went through previous posts but I didn't find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to modify the font for drawing annotation associated to this special letter Ⓣ Ⓤ. I decompiled and compiled the stroked_iso font  and it works but it doesn't work when I modify the isofont.fnt, somebody has any idea?Thank you for your helpRegards Vincenzo

I need an option in the Publish Creo Cable network path that is visible in Creo View MCAD.

Dear Team, We are using ‘Creo Parametric 7.0’. We have an assembly with the fastener 'Fastener_Metric.prt'. Since it is a standard component, it is controlled using the family table(Refer;'creo_family_table.png'). I would like to exclude ‘Fastener_Metric.prt’ from the section in both 3D and 2D. I excluded ‘Fastener_Metric.prt’ once(refer:'creo_exclude part.png'), but upon changing its instances, it was included in the 2d section. Is there an option to always exclude Fastener_Metric.prt and its instances from the 3D and 2D drawing sections?. Note: Instances will be changed by external configuration software based on user input.   Thanks in advance. Prakash.P

Hello, where can i find the release notes just for parametric.For example, i have 10.0.3.0 and i want to see whats have changed in 10.0.6.0 or 11.0.2.0?In search i could find it just for toolkits...

I'm creating a new drawing template in Creo 9.0.7.0 for a project. I want to add a parameter to capture the 'released on' & 'released by' values. But it should be sourced from Windchill, not user defined. How we can do this.
