Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.2.0Meshing problem. I have 2 assembles. Each are messing fine. But when I combine them it fails.Here are the errors that I facedCould not complete creating elements on all the seleted entities.

Why is the diameter symbol box shape? Wherever I dimension a round feature, it show this box as diameter symbol (and R as radius symbol). However, in a different drawing, the correct diameter symbol shows up but with bold font, which is another problem. I have waited for several days before posting for help. Which configuration options should be checked? Thanks. 

Hello,My motivation was to create a pattern of points to be used as measurements (in this case the rotation of these points in relation to a selected CS in the main assembly)As rotation cannot be used in solid elements, I created a pattern of point to points linked by rigid links to do the job. This is after imported in the main assembly and finally patterned. My hope was to not have to define rotation measurement manually from each point later. With measurements in a pattern, this would be made automatically by Creo Simulate.However, I cannot select this pattern using the “pattern” option for anything – but I can use other patterns – and this does not make sense.Is there a bug or a limitation that is not clear? Is there any work around?I am avoiding manual solutions, as it may involve hundreds of points. Here the explanation:Pattern 1 cannot be selected for any feature that has “Pattern” as option. However, I can select another pattern made in the same assembly And I ca

Hi,Creo 11.0.4.We use Auto Ballooning to some degree but I am 'new' to their usage. I am a bit sceptical regarding them and many shortfalls seem to be fired at me that is 'putting me off'. One of the main aspects is not being able to use Auto Balloons with Simplified Rep Views in a drawing. I have been using Simplified Reps extensively over many years and ballooning using a basic symbology method. Simplified Reps has been a standard basic functionality tool within Creo for many years and I find it difficult to accept that PTC have not enabled Auto Ballooning to be possible in conjunction with Simplified Reps in a drawing. IS THIS STILL TRUE???

Hi all,I am trying to automate PDF creation with Distributed Batch, and it works fine for parts only. Assemblies are failing, because of: "[-4] Error: Incomplete input data."I understand, the problem is missing files, because some parts (supplier components) are placed in another location. My config.pro contains all the search_paths needed for this, and it is already added to the DSM Configuration Files tab; but apparently it still doesn't work.(When using Creo normally, the config.pro works fine without issue).I tried some workaround by running a macro first (changing the working directory, and regenerating the drawings) before the PDF print (chaining tasks in the TTD), but without any results.I also tried absolute paths instead of relative paths in my config, but also no success. Finally, the method described here (https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/error-with-distributed-Pro-Batch/m-p/278132) worked, but it is very tiresome in my case, and need scripting,

Version: Creo 8.0.6 I import EMN files using the GET_Data->Import function.  I also have the config.pro flag to use the 'alternate ECAD name' so parts are created with the actual part number instead of an ecad geometry name.   When importing, Creo will check the current workspace for an existing part of the same name.  If found, Creo will use the existing workspace part geometry.  This is useful for certain COTS parts like commercial connectors since the vendor models are often far more detailed than the EMN/EMP's prismatic geometry. Pre-populating the vendor's CAD to the workspace results in Creo placing the vendor's CAD during the EMN import.  However, this only works when the vendor's CAD is a .prt.  If the vendor CAD is a .asm, then Creo does not find the "part" during the ECAD import.   A workaround is to convert the vendor's .asm to a .prt file using a variety of techniques, but often there are losses in cosmetic

Hello, I am using Creo 9 on a Windows 10 laptop. The issue is that I am trying to add a surface finish symbol in the drawing, but am getting the following error message: "The selected surface is already consumed by surface finish sf1 as a restricted reference. Select another surface." As far as I know, I never placed a surface finish symbol in the model at any point. I only added them on the drawing side. I deleted sf1 from the annotations tree, but the error message still pops up. Looking through message boards, I found an instance where someone used Semantic Query to select surfaces with finish symbols and then clearing them. However, when I use the Semantic Query tool, use RMB, and select clear, the symbol does not go away and is still showing when I reselect the surface. Any idea how to remove this symbol so that I can place a symbol in the drawing.

I am working on a project where I want the size of the balloons to be reduced to less than the text size or close to the text size. I tried the min_balloon_radius and max_balloon_radius options, but they only allow increasing the balloon size because the minimum value for the balloon radius can only go down to 0, which is the same as the text size. However, I want to reduce the size to less than 0.Is there any option available to reduce the size of the BOM balloon that 0?

I am using Creo Flow (not Creo Simulate Live) , as part of Creo 11.0.4.When I use the 'Generate Mesh' option, the geometry will mesh correctly the first time.However, after this, even with a very simple geometry (simple cylinder), if I make any changes to the mesh parameters, the part does not get re-meshed, it stays with the previous mesh.The only way to update the mesh is to remove the fluid domain entirely, add a new fluid domain, and then apply a mesh.There must be a way to update the mesh without having to remove the fluid domain each time?

We just recently switch from Creo 9 (because of end of life) to Creo 12 and are having major problems when importing sheets from other Creo drawings into a new Creo drawing.  Continue to get random errors, but the most common error is "Unable to merge. Target drawing contains incompatible elements. Please contact Technical Support." Never had any problems with Creo 9.  I can open a Creo 9 drawing in Creo 9 and import sheets without any issue.  Open the same drawing in Creo 12 and try to imports sheets and after 2 or 3 sheets it starts throwing error messages and will not import any more sheets. Anyone else have this issue? Contacted PTC support over a month ago and still no answer. Thanks

Hello all,   I have a mapkey (ex) that opens the windows explorer in the working directory. I have recently switched to directory opus as an alternative explorer. I would like to make a macro that launches directory opus in the working directory. Do you know how I could achieve that ? How would you do ? Thanks.

Hello all,Anyone aware of any protoolkit api functions to update dimensions into the cad model and regenerate it. FYKI, i have fetched dimension from cad active model using dimension visit api call and saved into a text file already. 

Hello, I am able to load a cad part or cad assembly from windchill to creo parametric, but would it be possible to load the related cad part from a windchill wtpart with the creo OTK? Or is it possible to use windchill methods in the java code for parametric? Thx

My problem seems a variation on the one queried by the OP.  I want Creo to open in L:\Projects\Creo_Files instead of C:/users\Me*\OneDrive\Documents.  I am able to make l:\Projects\Creo_files a working directory in the environmental section of the configuration options, but that doesn't do it. I tried making the L:\Projects\Creo_files a start directory as a Property in the shortcut in windows 11, but that didn't work either.   What should I do?

Hey All,I am stuck, trying to rename some groups in my assembly file but it does not let me. Usually I can just right click, then click rename, or I can slow double click and it will let me rename a group or feature.I created a datum plane to just test it, and again cannot rename that through those means. But if I edit the plane and use the toolbox where it lets you name it, that works.So dont really know what is going wrong with the naming feature. I have restarted CREO multiple times and its been the same for a few days now.Anyone else run into this?

Can anyone help me with this issue? I’m facing problems offsetting the highlighted surfaces due to high curvature.   Kind Regards, Adnan

I want to quickly see location (on the hard drive) of the part I am working with. I work with big assemblies in different folders. Sometimes parts are the same.   With Creo it's not clear. I looked for the answers. Suggestion is to edit config file. Is that really that complicated? And how to actually edit it?    Looked at this http://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_optm/usascii/index.html#page/optm/options_modeler/fund_five_sub/Setting_config_pro_Options.html They say go to Tools > Environment. But I don't have that menu option.   Your help is highly appreciated!

Sometimes you need to clean up CAD data before sharing it with a third party or you would like to update Start parts templates and remove old PDM parameters. You need to Set config.pro options: dm_emulate_ilink_sys_parameters=yes allow_create_pdm_param=yes  

I want to convert part/assembly file into pvz file with custom proepview.pvr file, and i don't have a permission to change anything in "C" drive so i was planning on setting it up in a other drive but i cant find any specific setting/config... so is there any option available to set configuration for your custom recipe file??  

When I create a new hole in a creo model, is there a way that I can default to "Type - Standard" and also have the "Size - Thread type:" already looking at the correct .hol file? Right now it defaults to "Type - Simple' and "Size - Thread type: ISO" Thanks for your help!

Hello, I need to download Creo Launchpad Free Trial. I entered the launchpad form on Thursday and it has been 2 business days since I have done so, so I need that downloaded ASAP. Thanks

It seems like the stock table does not consider AFX created plates, only beams. Is this correct behavior?Another thing I wonder is if there is any possibilities to export the stock length info from the model itself to a text format, so I don't need to go through a drawing to get this information?Thanks!Regards Yngve(Creo Parametric 11.0.4.0)
