Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have a rivet I want to show in an assembly. The rivet data was 'imported'. In order to show the installed/deformed position, I added a 'deformed' feature that can be controlled by a flexible dimension. The Master Rep displays the 'imported' rivet AND the deformed geometry. I created a Simplified Rep (INSTALLED) which displays the deformed rivet without the 'imported' rivet. So far, so good!   The flexible dimension will allow me to display a deformed/installed rivet for different panel thicknesses. When I add 3 flexible rivets into my assembly, I can change their dimension to fit 3 different panel thicknesses (0.75-inch, 1.00-inch, 1.50-inch). However, the display shows both the 'imported' rivet AND the deformed/installed rivet data. When I active the INSTALLED Rep, all 3 rivets default to the original dimension (1.50-inch) and do not hold their flexible inputs (0.75-inch, 1.00-inch, 1.50-inch).   Why won't a flexible dimension hold when changing the assembly to a simp

I am currently using Creo Parametric 7.0. I want to switch between open windows using Ctrl + Tab like every single other software does. I searched for a while and found no options in the software or even anyone asking about it. Is there some way I can make this a keyboard shortcut or something? Is this feature just not integrated into Creo at all?   

Hello.We've recently switched from Creo4 to Creo9, and in Creo9 I'm facing a challenge I never had in 4:In part and assembly design, when I hover over geometry, some of the surfaces appear to be highlighted in "broken" or xxx-patterned highlight, like below: while other are fully shaded, as if masked with transparent layer : for both, selection "repaints" them just fine with selection color. Went trough all reasonable config options I could think of, all regarding highlight, transparency, selection, with no visible changes. I'm looking for a method to achieve consistency in the highlight, preferably with all being the second option, without xxx pattern.Thanks 🙂   

Hi,the tool path of volume roughing sometimes works from the outside to inside (correct) and other time as opposed to.I attached file manufacturing with a video for try the problem.The support dosn't help me because for they are correct this Works to product specification for Creo Parametric 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡.How can do it the sequence in other way? Thanks

When I want to delete a part from a sub-BOM in an assembly in Creo, the part is not deleted from the BOM. What could be the reasons for this? Can you help me with this?   Translated by the moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Creo'daki bir montajda alt ürün reçetesindeki bir parçayı silmek istediğimde, parça ürün reçetesinde silinmez. Bunun sebepleri neler olabilir? Bu konuda yardımcı olabilir misiniz?

Hi there... I have a logo designed which I need to extrude onto the surface of a part.  I have copied the font into the Creo 11.0.0.0\Common Files\text\fonts folder, and the font shows up in the Font list Sketching > Text dialogue box.  I can write out the logo onto the surface, but it doesn't seem extrude. I cannot spot any node gaps either. The font is a really common Windows font: Berlin Sans FB.  Is anyone able to see if you can extrude any words using this font?  Unfortunately, this site doesn't allow me to attach a copy of the font but it should be in your Windows folder if you use. I'm really puzzled

I recently upgraded to Creo 9.0.1.0, and was working on a drawing when I started using the new Surface Finish workflow.  I've asked a few other users around the office and no one can seem to figure out where the "placement" options went that allows you to to decide whether you want a leader, normal to entity, on entity, or free placement of surface finish.  Does anyone know the answer to this? Screenshots below of what I'm talking about.  Creo 8 and before Surface finish Creo 9 surface finish options.  Can't find the placement options anywhere. My company doesn't normally use leaders for surface finish. We put them on the dimension lines or on the edges themselves. Thanks, Doug 

I have a requirement to auto-populate the Creo Parametric revision history table on drawings from the Windchill information (Revision, Modified By, Modified On, and Revision Description (IBA)). The Revision Description will also be a Creo parameter.   The requirement is there needs to be intelligence so that when the drawing is revised from revision 0 to revision 1, the revision history information for revision 1 is automatically applied to the next row of the revision history table from Windchill, and the revision 0 information is maintained on the drawing. The same will be true for all new revisions after that. Once the drawing is revised to revision 7, revision 0 is dropped from the revision history table, all other revision history information is shifted down one row, and then the revision 7 information is added to the last row; and so on for all revisions after that.   Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this?

Hi,    I have a sheet metal geometry as shown. I am trying to count the number of bends using the toolkit.Here's how we thought of it:1. Collect flat, flange, and bend features from the model tree2. Get vector values of reference planes of collected features3. Increase the number of horizontal/vertical bends using vector values   However, the following problems were expected:  Five flat features are visible in the feature tree in the illustration. When looking at the unfolded shape, the number of bends is 1 horizontally and 2 times vertically.   Any good way to count the number of bends?Any ideas would be appreciated.   Warm Regards, SeonHo Cha.

Dear community,I'm facing frequent crashes in Creo, particularly when using Render Studio on large assemblies. Thankfully, PTC has implemented a feature to recover files after a crash. However, I've encountered an issue where the "Open" button is always grayed out, preventing me from accessing the recovered files.Has anyone else experienced this problem? thanksusing Creo 9

Hello all,   I have a assembly which is checked in. When I try to modify it I end up having a conflict box asking me to check out or continue. I want to avoid this conflict box avoiding and set default value as continue. I used dm_checkout_on_the_fly and set it to continue but noticed it just the continue is set just in conflict box as default but did not get applied I have to select okay eveytime. Is there any option by which I can apply value as continue instead of setting default value in conflict box.   TIA

Hi,I am trying to create a motion skeleton that will move a part based on a cam type profile.I need help defining the connection circled so it stays on the curve when the "cam" moves side to side.I do not want to model solids, I just want it to be based off a sketch.Thanks for any guidance or help.

Hi guys,   to add notes in drawing i am copying text from excel, then pasting it using unattached note. i want to save my custom notes in different names under Insert filed option. to optimize the process.   Is it possible to add custom note under insert filed option. kindly help me on this, if there are any other better option please guide me.  

Hi all,   I would like to know if it is possible to pilot the options list in the variant builder from Option model.   In the variant builder, there is an option list: Each value pilot the view or the hidden af a sub-assembly, or a set of components. Where each choices is stored in CREO? In the pro program, in parameters?   Is someone know if it is possible to pilot them (with toolkit or SmartAssembly)Regards  

Hello @PARTHIBAN_K,A very nice in-depth explanation indeed. I am facing some issues with creating 2D shell pairs for my assembly due to surfaces and / or some components within the assembly overlapping each other. Because of thus, I can not use "review geometry" feature too as it gives errors. Could you please help me out and guide me with solving these errors? Do I need the model to be remade where the components of its surfaces do not overlap each other? Or can I use some other way to mesh like "thin solid"? Please guide. Thanks in advance 🙂   Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Analysis/Shell-Idealization-Over-the-Solid-Model-in-Geometric-Element/m-p/446841#M1377

I am using Smart BOM, my company requires that if there is an ALTERNATE (or SUBSTUTUTE) part, the new "ALTN" part need to have the same FIND NO with the main part .  For example: Main part is "ABCD" and FIND is currently 6, above FN6 is FN7 with part # "AFGK"I need to add new part "xyzk" as ALTN to FN6, it will have the same FN 6 as the main part and sit in between FN6 and FN7. In the next message, I will tell about how I make it but it still NOT working as we want. JUst tell the community what I already tried to make it. We are using Creo 7But if newer Creo can make it, we can change to new version.  Thank You

Hello! I am working on a project where a piping system is being modeled in Creo (v 8.0.3.0) and is desired to be analyzed (pipe stress analysis) in AutoPIPE (v 23.00.00.230). So far it looks like the best (if not only) way to take the working Creo model's piping geometry and plug it into AutoPIPE is via a Piping Configuration File (PCF), where (1) Creo is able to generate a PCF and (2) AutoPIPE is able to import that PCF .  So far I have been mainly been focusing on step (2) to make sure I know what information in the PCF can be interpreted/implemented in AutoPIPE, and have been able to identify a couple of additional inputs that I would like to have added to the PCF (as shown numbered in red below).I'm now going back to step (1) (Creo -> PCF), and I'm trying to figure out how I can incorporate these inputs into the piping that exists in the Creo model (if at all possible). I've tried looking through PTC documentation on how to change/edit information in the Piping Sp

Trying to post more.... I teach a wide variety of Creo classes and usually tell participants in class to try to run a mostly stock config.pro file as PTC does a good job with the defaults.  With that said our/your Creo administrators like to modify those configuration settings and get us accustomed to sometimes old ways often slower ways of doing things.  For example, It's simply slower to feel compelled to look straight on in a sketch 100 percent of the time.  Looking for a config.pro option to close dialog boxes. In Creo 9.0 the development team felt it necessary to make the dialog boxes automatically open for the user to fill in prompts. After all an open UI seems helpful.   In my effort to be open-minded, I've tried my best to use Creo with this new default.  I however find the dialog boxes open right where my model is + I use effective speed tips in Creo (that I teach - maybe a topic for a lunch-and-learn).  The dialog boxes open is A b

Hi, I am still using Creo 4.0 M050. When making 2D drawings of a part, I usually specify a dimension tolerance as 'Plus-Minus' or as a 'Letter-Number' combination (like H6, G7, E8 ...).Sometimes I feel it is more appropriate to specify both. The nuisance is that Creo puts the Letter-Number combination (E8 in this case) always behind the Plus-Minus numbers.So, like this:But I would prefer that the E8 comes immediately behind the nominal dimension, and in front of the Plus-Minus. Like Diam 3E8 +0.05/+0.10.I couldn't find a way. Is this possible in Creo 4.0 ?

Is there a way to use the Search tool to find all edges with a length greater than x?Example: I want to round a bunch of edges in my model, they are quite a few and tricky to select. If I could do a search and select all edges longer than 15. That would cover most if not all edges I want.Is this a thing in Creo Parametric?We are using Creo 7 here.

Hi, does anyone know if there is a list of configurations for Parametric's?I know the PTC help page, but I'm looking for something else.

Hello, Today i have a question about global structure and interractions between parts, assembly, bill of materials etc. Here is a view of my architecture :For creating new products, i design parts. These are assembled in assembly and for the master assembly i edit a bill of material with a repeat region in a table. Export in .csv, sort in Excel for buying standart parts, supply raw material, manufacture parts, send to subcontractor for some etc. For parts which i manufacture, i create a manufacturing assembly with a raw part. I create the machining program and a drawing for our machine shop. Now the questions :To manage the supplies i use my master bill of material (parts and components are sorted with parameters in the repeat region). but for the part i machine, i don't need the part itself but the raw part corresponding to this part. My problem, there is no link between these two. Currently I make the link manually but it's tedious when you have around thirty part
