Creo+ and Creo Parametric

In Creo 9.0.10.0, creating circular bends or crimps with varying thickness is often a bit clunky, as it requires cutting material and then re-adding the crimp or bend feature, usually as a revolve or sweep. I’m looking for a simpler, more efficient way to do this, similar to how Sheet Metal bends work, where bends can be suppressed in a simplified representation at the part level. This would be especially useful for parts that currently use family tables or flexible modeling. I’ve looked into the X-Section Property Control options in the Spinal Bend feature, but I’m not sure if any of those settings can be used for multi-directional bending. Specifically, can things like moments of inertia or centroid coordinates allow a bend towards the center of an axis or csys. I'm hoping to find another method that can directly apply the deformation like a bend to the existing length of material without cutting out features. Any advice from the community on using Warp, Spinal Bend, or other command

I am having issues with opening a CATPART file on CREO. When I open the file, I am getting some import errors and cannot see any of the geometry of the part. If I edit the definition of the data import I can then see the part surfaces but the import will fail to regenerate if I click OK.  I cannot add the data as surfaces (greyed out on Import As tab), only as bodies so it may have something to do with how it is saved in Catia. I have tried correcting issues in IDD but cannot afford to spend as much time correcting issues with every import. Can Import settings be adjusted to allow the data to be imported as a quilt/surfaces? I am using CREO 9.0.8.0

Hellois it possible to create a straight hook with a incorrect radius? if you look at the below image, it would come off at an angle rather straight. is it possible? 

Hello. I'm trying to create a dimension pattern using C++ toolkit in Creo 8. First I created the pattern with the desired relation (MEMB_V=-LEAD_V) as shown in the image below. Then I created an element tree of the pattern and stored it in a xml file so I can use it as template for pattern element trees later. However the relation is not included in the element tree. Creating the pattern with the element tree has the "Define increment by relation" still ticked, but the Relations window is empty. When I check the xml file I can see that the row that should have the relation just has ** as value: <PRO_E_GENPAT_RELATION_EDIT type="pointer">**</PRO_E_GENPAT_RELATION_EDIT> I tried to create that element and assign the relation to it by using the create function for wfcElements. The Create function needs pfcArgValue as input, but there does not seem to be a way to assign a "pointer" type value to it. C Toolkit user guide  says to

Happy Monday! In an assembly....is it possible to change select tool default from Geometry to Part so it's always default. This has been a pet peave of mine for years. In assembly mode I select parts an overwheming amount of times. I always forget to change from geometry to part. A slight annoyance. There probably is no solution and I would doubt anyone else even cares about this. LOL. 😁 Wayne

Bonjour,Je viens de passer sur CREO 12, j'étais auparavant sur CREO 3.0.Sur CREO 3.0, il met arrivé de créer un paramètre de type chaîne (string) ( par exemple A) et, via une boucle if() dans les relations, lui affecter tantôt le caractère - ou une valeur de cote (exemple : d123) ce qui pouvait donner par exemple ceci : if(p120==1)A="-"elseIf(p120==2)A=d123endifendif p120 pouvait, par exemple représenter un nombre de répétition d'un trou et d123 l'entraxe entre 2 trous si le nombre de répétition p120 est supérieur à 1. Ainsi, dans une table de famille, et donc dans la région de répétition correspondante sur une mise en plan, pour une instance de table de famille avec 1 trou le paramètre A affichait - et pour une instance de table de famille avec 2 trous le paramètre A affichait la valeur de la côte d123.et cela fonctionnait sans problème, mais depuis que je suis passé sur CREO 12, cela ne fonctionne plus !Ma syntaxe dans les relations est elle toujours bonne ?Existe-t-il une

I have an imported STEP with what looks like a small number of errors: 10 bad two-sided edges and one bad wireframe and, wow, 75 bad vertices.There's one particular inside radius that seems to defy any attempt to fix.

Managing position numbers (POS parameters) in large Creo Parametric assemblies can quickly become time-consuming and error-prone when done manually. The "POS" parameter is commonly used in Creo drawing BOM tables and Windchill-managed environments to define the balloon number that identifies each component in an assembly.To simplify this workflow, I developed a lightweight browser-based utility called POS Manager (free to use). The tool runs directly inside the Creo browser panel and allows engineers to automatically assign, manage, and apply POS numbers to assembly components with full visual control.This article introduces the tool and provides several short tutorials demonstrating how to use it effectively within Creo Parametric.You can access the tool here: POS Manager ToolWhat the POS Manager Tool DoesPOS Manager reads the active assembly structure directly from the current Creo session and presents all first-level components in an interactive table. From a single interface,

I am creating a drawing in Creo Parametric 11.01.4.0. I have a diameter that I have a runout GTOL on that is also a datum. When I place the datum on the diameter witness line it is also automatically attaching it to the GTOL so that the datum is displayed twice. If I remove or move either of the shown datums they both move or are removed. The dimension shown on the drawing was originally a displayed dimension driven by the 3D. I tried recreating the dimension in 2D to see if that fixed it, but it too is having the error occur.   

Hello, I've searched here and there for information before posting. Is there a way to export transparent background png (or whatever format) image files from illustrate? Or even set the background as "no background" instead of a colour? This would avoid the need to go through Photoshop to delete the background.   Any answer's appreciated Thanks in advance

Hi all, Wanted to know the best practices while running simulation on homogenized lattices. How do i accurately input the anisotropic material properties?thanks 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0.3.0.Is it possible export file in format of GLTF from Creo Parametric ?

I created a wire spool. I routed a wire using the spool. When I go to edit the spool, save is greyed out. It's new, so its not a permission thing-I think? I go to add and remove columns and I can't save it. What's up?

Hello, We have one assembly drawing, and it has 4 components in part table. These 4 components are having multiple part numbers (Likewise family table A123Z_G (generic) A123Z01, A123Z02....A123Z150) Also it has variants like Different pipe size (0.5", 1", 1.5", 2" etc) Different weld type (like fillet, v-groove type, bevel etc.) material (Mild Steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum, Bronze etc.) By considering of these much of parameters and some more, we need to create one master data table in creo drawing which will be working by drop down option and the final output part table should be viewed  on main drawing sheet basis on selection of drop down filters. This is just like a complex excel sheet which has master data, drop down filters and one output tab which shows the exact result based on drop down selection. Do we incorporate the master tables, Drop down tables and Output tables in Creo drawing?

How to bring .xls table in Creo10? Is there a simple way to do so. I have a big BOM i am working on and ita a pain to copy paste: )      Thx in Adv! Creo on Fly!! 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0I would like to create a new oriented view with an isometric orientation.Currently, the default Isometric view has the Y‑axis along the upper side.I want to rotate it so that the Z‑axis is along the upper side instead

Greetings, Not sure if this is a Windcill or CAD file or network issue. Has anyone ever had issues opening files in Windchill but another person does not? I have cleared cache, cleared workspace, reset Windchill and still not able to open. One thing to note: We work on different networks that I guess tap into a shared Windchill. This may have something to do with it? I have seen problems with syncing checked in/checked out files. If so, what fixes the problem? Wayne

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.2.0Good morning, when uploading the new releas and the new license file, I get an "inappropriate" error. I should point out that I also downloaded the latest license file.

I created a script as shown in the image and saved it as a .lst file. I also referenced the same file in config.pro. However, when I create a new parameter in Creo, the dropdown list does not appear.Please help me resolve this issue. Note - I also tried with .txt file instead of .lstCreo Version - 11.0.5.0

how do you modify imported Kennametal boring bars to work in the simulation section in creo manufacturing. i dont know where to start on how to get tool to work

Hello,I use Inspect geometry/Shadow analysis. But now I need to create an envelope of the shadow when the light direction change. Is there any way how to do it or get the envelope geometry? I know I can dynamically update the shadow when I drag light dimension, but I need to change concurrently 2 or 3 dimensions. I use Creo 12 Thanks for help.Best regardsMichal

This problem has really been frustrating me for quite some time...When I create a drawing and insert a view then select the display style to be "no hidden" it usually hides all the hidden lines no problem.But when I enable a section view that is when a whole world of problems occurs.Certain objects don't seem to obey the hidden lines, and they still show all their lines. Specifically it seems to be quilts or something that is having this problem because it only the objects in pink/purple lines that have the problem. I just find it so strange that this only happens with section views.Anyway, I tried editing the section itself by checking off the "Include quilts" option, but that just removed the components entirely rather than just removing the hidden lines.Someone please help me figure out what is going on here.I've attached a photo of the problem. It shows my layout with the section view enabled. you'll notice there are cabinets that are pink which are showing all their internal compo

Hello, I am trying to model a retracting pin which allows a spring loaded mass to drop freely in the z-axis using Creo 8+. However, I keep getting the following error: "3-D contact in model has encountered an error:In a cylinder-cylinder contact, the rectangular contact patch is invalid.This violates contact-patch assumptions related to Hertzian compliant contactcalculations." As far as I can tell, there is no interference in my model, no erroneous material properties, etc.  I have been using dynamic analysis for this, and the pin is removed using a translation servo motor. The mass is constrained in the x & y by two pin constraints. I do not have friction enabled, nor gravity. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated! I have already tried changing the contact to a point-cylinder & decreasing the contact radius of the point.
