Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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

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  

Hi, Which bundle of Creo simulation can perform Torque & Tension analysis, Kindly advice. TIA.Naresh

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.

Using Creo Parametric 10.0.4.0 I'm drawing a welding assembly and I've got welds that have arrows going through parts of the assembly.I would like to add jogs to the arrows so I can route them around the part instead. Is there any way to do this?And is there a way to move the weld symbol to another plane whilst keeping the arrows as they are. Right now, when I move the weld symbol to another plane, all the arrows move to that same plane and are no longer connected to the actual welds.Hope you can help me out! 🙂

How to enable 'Advanced Assembly Extension' by default whenever Creo is opened. We had Creo 7 previously where it was enabled always. After upgrading to Creo 9, we have to go options and enable the extension manually every time we open Creo. What setting we need to change to get it enabled permanently.

Hi CREO experts, I'm setting up new templates for my company and now I'm stuck with a font size problem probably refering to a din.dtl option. (CREO 9.0)We're using ISO Tolerance tables for shafts and holes and there is one problem with the display of the tolerances.I've set the tol_text_height_factor to 0.5. That works for all +/- tolerances, but not the limits. (see attached file)PlusMinus: Limits: As you can see the font size in the "Limit" display in the brackets is 1.0 but I want to have it 0.5 like in the "PlusMinus"Does anyone know the din.dtl or config.pro option to have the "Limits" display style the same as "Plus Minus"? Thanks in advance

We have two parameters 'DRW_RELEASED_ON' & 'DRW_RELEASED_BY' in our drawing template. Source for these parameters is Windchill. Meaning, the values for these parameters will appear automatically when the drawing is released. All this worked fine in Creo 7 When we upgraded to Creo 9, I could not see these two parameters in the drawing template. Becuase of this, values for these parameters are not getting populated after the drawing is released. Can someone help? where exactly this issue is there?

I'm using a custom menu created with J-Link to set the material in a part. The method pfcPart.Part.RetrieveMaterial works fine when the config option pro_material_dir is set to a local/network drive. However when this is set to a Windchill location using wtpub://[servername]/[material library] I get the error: com.ptc.wfc.Implementation.pfcExceptions$ToolkitNotFound. The material library location is correct (it points to the right location when manually setting the material) and the Windchill server is registered and authentication is done when starting up Creo. Do I need to make a connection to Windchill within my program before I can access items such as material files?

Looking to probatch a bunch of files from .prt and .asm to step and drawings as dxf. I am exporting from Wildfire 4.0 which just happens to be on the laptop I'm exporting from. I used to know how to do this. Does anyone have a quick guide to doing this? I don't want to spend more time figuring this out than it takes to do it manually. Thanks, WayneF
