Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.4.0 This is customer issue. Any Editing in part results in software crash.

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 ? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.5.0in Creo 10.0.5.0 when saving an assy as an iges (save-as), the iges does not shoe datums and points.Here are the errors that I facedn/a

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

I created an assembly using skeleton and I want to create a mirrored copy. I tried to save as a copy but I think that due to the complexity, the result presents errors. I just want to save it as a mirror, but it could be as an IGES part. I'm saving an iges and opening the iges and mirroring it, but in Windchill this process is slow. Is there any more direct way to do this?

Hello, I am exploring the piping option to use in our assemblies. Because we are working with a PLM system (Windchill), I need to embed the pipe pieces created with the piping option. Otherwise each little piece of pipe will get an article number in Windchill. What I would like to get is for the assembly that contains the embedded parts, to get a parameter: materialcode & length for each type of pipe used.Any other ideas are welcome as well. The moral of the story is: The pipes are embedded but I want to be able to extract the materialcode and length of each type used, regardless of the amount of pipe pieces.Are there possibilities here? All I can find is a little menu that can tell me the length of certain pipes and store it, but it's not extractable nor does it update.

Hi all, After an upgrade in a drawing template, where i updated/deleted some symbols, annotations and change fonts.But, it seems that an old fonts is still present, because i have the message "***.ttf.ndx is not loaded.But for me, the annotations/ symbol which used this one are deleted.How can i purge the drawing template for all the fonts unused?I tried the options upadte_drawing all, the delete unused symbols options but without success.How can i clean my drawings template for unused fonts? 

Hello all, I have a application which loads model into creo using ProMdlFiletypeLoad() and then I use a Macro using ProMacroLoad and ProMacroExecute. I have noticed that if my model is active in current window the ProMacroLoad does not work. It works only when there is no active model.  What could be the reason and How can I solve this?

Hello Team, I have around 50+ points defined on a surface in the assembly using Coordinate system. Now I want to pull them in the drawing directly in a table. and this table should be parametric. Do we have such an option? I have already tried Hole table options, but with this the points will not get automatically updated in the drawing once they are moved in the assembly. Please provide an alternate way to fix my problem. Right now to make the table parametric I manually add the dimensions for the point in the drawing, copy its symbolic name and paste it inside the cell with a prefix "&", but i have to do this for all the 50+ and for both X & Y dimensions.  

in Creo Parametric 7.0.3.0,Is there a function that allows me to make ALL hidden parts visible when I'm in an assembly?Obviously, I can go through and select them individually, but this is a large assembly and it's not worth the time of day to do all that. So is there a button that does them all at once?

Is there a way to project all edges from a surface into a sketch without having to select them all individually?I am running Creo 3 - M010Thanks in advance!
