Creo+ and Creo Parametric

If my model changes and the note becomes unattached, my textline "&REF_DES:AT_CONN" calling a parameter changes to "***".Once I go through and reattach all the leaders, I can run this function to update all the notes back to "&REF_DES:AT_CONN",  It only works if I've double clicked to edit the text before hand.Has any one else had this issue?  Does Toolkit also have this issue, or is this solely a weblink problem? function Notevisit() { if (pfcIsMozilla()) netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect"); var session = pfcGetProESession (); var model = session.CurrentModel; alert("STARTING NOTE REFRESH: PRESS 'OK', AND DO NOT TOUCH UNTIL 'DONE' IS DISPLAYED"); model.Regenerate(void null); if (model == null) return; if (model.Type != pfcCreate("pfcModelType").MDL_DRAWING) return; var LABEL = "LABEL: &REF_DES:ATT_CONN"; var name = String(LABEL) var LABEL = "LABEL: &REF_DES:ATT_CONN"; var name = String(LABEL)

Hi,Is there a method of accessing the drawing number within the relations area of the table(repeat region).  I would like to use the drawing number for conditional test to format the repeat region output a certain way if conditions are met.Regards,Marlon

I run Creo 11.0.0.0 on two computer, my laptop running Win10 and on my PC running win11.  But they both have developed the same issue: which is the middle button does not cancel the break command.  When detailing I wish to break a dimension leader line, so I pick the leader line, RMB and pick the break option. I LMB two places on the leader line where I want the break. The leader line breaks. Now I MMB to cancel the break command to move onto more tasks. But this does not cancel the command and leaves the break command dialogue box sitting there open.This issue started a few moths ago (July 2024) when I was running 9.0.3.0 so I upgraded to 11.0.0.0 and the issue was still there, So may be a window/Java/driver update, but, I have reinstalled both of these and still have the issue. Anyone else have this problem? 

I am using Creo Parametric 9.0 and I am setting mechanism constraints (Pre-Defined Constraint sets) to make a dynamic model. Into A.asm, I want to assemble another assembly, B.asm, which has multiple components that should be able to move relative to each other. I have B.asm set up so there are a few mechanism constraints that limit the range of motion so the components are tied together somewhat, but are still able to move as they should (rotate, translate, etc.). When I assemble B.asm into A.asm, I define multiple mechanism constraint sets (Pre-Defined sets) to constrain the parts of B.asm to parts of A.asm. This use of multiple constraint sets works really well until I get up to 8 different sets. Then, the last constraint set has its "Enabled" check box unchecked, so the set is Disabled. Whenever I click the check box to enable that last constraint, the constraint works fine and the B.asm connects in the model as it should--so there are no connection failures. But, after h

How can i change the dimension to the mean dimension?For example, I have the dimension 100 with the tolerance -0.1 and -1. The Mean dimension would be 99.45.How can show/activate that? 

Dear Community, Currently we are using Creo 7.0.12.0 but we are planning to update to a more recent version in the future. We try to enhance our 3D-Models with as much information as possible (MBD), but we have the struggle now, that 3D-files very fast get cluttered with annotations, dimensions, tolerances, etc. Especially when we are starting to assemble such 3D-parts. Is there any option available to add dimensions also to Simp Reps? We couldn't find any option and also the help documentation was not helpful. Thanks in advance for any hint!

I am trying to figure out how to route multiple harnesses along a path and have the actual diameter shown, and change, as harnesses are added or subtracted, so I know what size to make things like routing holes and wire trays.

HiMy customer try to unfix length of many fixed cable at once in very complex cabling assembly. He try to use "Free All Length" functionality, but it works only when proper - fixed length cable is selected. So the question is: how to find and select all cables containing fixed length to use the "Free All Length" functionality?Any ideas?

I must be losing my mind. Didn't Creo used to allow making a Diameter dimension in drawing mode of a side cross section edge or point using the 3 mouse clicks just like you can in part sketcher mode? I have a cross section view of a part that I want to CREATE a diameter type dimension from a centerline to an edge.  The entity was not made in the part mode with that feature dimensioned as a diameter so I cannot just show the dimension. In part sketcher mode, you can easily make a diameter dimension by left clicking the edge, left clicking the centerline, then left clicking the edge a second time and placing the dimension.I swear the exact same steps could be done in drawing mode when making an annotation dimension but it is not working.  I am using Creo version 7.0.5.0 and all it does when I perform those clicks is try to make a length dimension of the edge itself, not a diameter dimension.

Would anyone be willing to provide example syntax of how to use EvalOutline() and/or GeomOutline and how to get the values for each?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm using Creo v 11 and it is continuously crashing when I try to open a Solidworks part file. I get no error message or notification, it just closes the program after loading for a bit. Has anyone else had this issue or have an idea of why this might be happening? Side note I cannot share the file as it is proprietary.

I have changed the detailed options for symbol_font to ASME and the additional symbols show up in the GD&T and Notes area however, the dimension text does not have the full list of symbols. How can I get this to update? The specific symbol I'm looking for is the spotface symbol. We're using Creo 7

Hello,I'm trying to install the Spekan Purge Tool, but it's asking for a password to install it, I followed this link https://community.ptc.com/t5/System-Administration/Spekan-Purge-Tool/td-p/415298/page/2Still nothing.

Hello, Are Merge/inheritance feature accessible with a Creo Essential license ?I use this function in parts for years but recently we change our license "Creo Advance Design" for "Creo Essential". Since this the buttons are grayed out...Is it a problem with my creo install or a license issue ? Thanks in advance.  

Hello. Our CREO License recently changed. Current Situation is using Floating License and LMGRD. Old Creo Licenses (Foundation, Parametric, etc.) changed  CREO Essentials.  So, I have to change LMGRD's License Pack.  When I Change Creo License Pack, do I need to reconfigure CREO on all designer PCs?

Hi,I am using creo 8 with windchill 12.  I have multiple drawings where I run a model check, and get the error "Highlighted dimensions can not be regenerated". However, there are no dimensions on the drawing that are highlighted! This error prevents me from proceeding with a promotion request. Any ideas on how to understand what dimensions are causing issues?  Thanks

I get frustrated when I enter an mapkey incorrectly (either by typing something wrong or having typed a random letter some time before typing the mapkey I intended), wait for the expected action not to happen, then look down to the status bar to look at the mapkey string that I actually typed (which may have disappeared by then), and then have to hit backspace or enter to start over / clean up the mapkey. I would love to force the typed letters to match existing mapkeys in session and timeout after a few seconds. If a mapkey string didn't match an existing mapkey in session, or a few seconds after a letter was typed without completing an existing mapkey in session, the typed letters entry / input string would clear (as if "Enter" was typed). Is there a setting that will prevent typing an incorrect or nonexistent mapkey? Is there a setting that will clear the mapkey entry after a certain timeout period? Alternatively is there a way for a script to read what the current en

What date codes of SolidWorks can be opened in Creo 7.0.5.0 with Unite? Basically, I would like to utilize Solidworks data in a Creo 7.0.5.0 assembly and am searching for SolidWorks data code compatibility. 

Hi, I'm trying to use the Visual Basic API to create a drawing with a custom template, but I'm getting the error message:   System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: 'pfcExceptions::XToolkitNotFound'   The line of code on which I get the error message is:   Dim drawing As IpfcDrawing = session.CreateDrawingFromTemplate(Mdl.CommonName, "D-CUSTOM", Mdl.Descr, drwnCreateOptns)   I tried changing the template to an out of the box template and that works, so it has to be the custom template, is there anything I'm missing?

I'm wondering if this is a bug in Creo (I'm using 9.0.1.0), or if I have mistakenly set a stupid settings...   I can't seem to create offset curves in the manner that I've been for decades. What I consider standard process to make an offset is: (1) Select a chain of curves, either one by one or with the chain selection (shift-select). (2) When I'm done selecting curves, an arrow shows me the direction of the offset. (3) I enter a value and I now have a chain of offset curves, comprised of individual curves corresponding to each of the curves I selected in step (1) What I'm seeing this afternoon is what's shown in the image. I can kind of pick a chain, but the offset curve it creates is a single curve, no matter how many entities are used, and I can't access individual entities in the curve (i.e. delete an unneeded curve in the chain so it can be replaced, or trim a curve with another entity, etc.). Is there a setting I inadvertantly toggled that activates this type of behavior? I

Hi, Is it possible to create an automated techincal drawing process in Creo Parametric. I am designing a lot of sheet parts and I don't need to give detail but in drawing I have to give maximum dimensions for sheet part. If there is a way to do it automated. It will save me a lot of time. I mean with just one click or a combination I just want to create front view and right view for a flat sheet part.I am doing it with mapkey but still have to give dimensions manually. Thanks in advance -Enes

Hi,I have several problems with the Modernized Project/Offset Tools in Sketcher of Creo 9.0.0.0.I wish I could go back to the old command present in creo 8.0...I explain what the problems are: PROBLEM 1:In creo 9.0.0.0 the project / offset tool does not generate the arc centers of a loop.  PROBLEM 2:After using the command I would like to be able to select specific segments and arcs generated with the Project / Offset command and then perhaps mirror them, but with the new command it is no longer possible ... all entities are selected as a group, is there a way to explode them? PROBLEM 3:The "Delete Segment" command is NOT ABLE to recognize the segments defined by a project / offset loop of a curve with intersections on the segments and references.P.S. Notice the yellow dots that delimit the recognized segments. PROBLEM 4:I would like my arc to have the same radius value as the arc of the offset chain, but the program does not allow me to set the constraint beca

Hello all, I am trying to create, redefine many features using creo toolkit. I refer toolkit user guideline document (tkuse) and object toolkit document to get idea about methods.  Is it the only document which can be refered to get idea of methods defined in toolkit api and does it contain all the information required? I just want to know if I am missing out some methods which are not defined in this documents. 

Hello Community, how are you?Can anyone tell me how to create a simp rep from holes I made in an assembly? I need to hide the holes I made in the assembly and I tried simp rep, but it only lets me exclude parts and not characteristics. Has anyone done something similar?Thanks!!!

I'm running into an issue with Shrinkwrap where no matter what settings are used it always deletes the faces in screw heads where the tool would fit in. Is there something I'm missing that would make Shrinkwrap catch those faces without having to go through and select each individual one on all of them? The purpose is to send out gutted assemblies for the purpose of a 3rd party to make photo realistic images for marketing so having missing faces/parts is not ideal. See below for example of what's happening.
