Creo+ and Creo Parametric

In this episode, we’re taken into the enchanting world of Hasbro, the globally famous toy and games company. We visit their HQ in Rhode Island and uncover the magic behind the design of some of the most iconic toys ever created.    

Hi, How do I drag dimensions while in edit mode like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRxBD-B5IrY&t=49s I attached a gif of me trying to drag sketch dimensions. it doesn't matter if dimensions are weak, strong or locked.I'm currently using Creo 8. thanks 

Hi, I'm cleaning my config.pro file. It has very old options such as this one below which seems to be a hidden one. I didn't find anything related. Anyone knows what this option does ? 

Hi all, I am on Creo Parametric 8.0.5.0. I am attempting to give a skeleton part a parameter, create published geometry of it, use copy geom in another part to pull in geometry and this parameter, and then display this parameter on the drawing in a pre-established repeat region. This needs to be done with as little adjustments to the top level part as possible. I've accomplished half of this so far by creating the parameter at the surface, body, or curve level of the skeleton part so it is included in the published geometry. When I pull the published geometry into a part using copy geom, the parameter appears in the part if I look at parameters at all sublevels of the part. However, the BOM repeat region that I am using uses mdl.param.name to find and add items with a certain prefix to the repeat region. I am assuming that it is reading parameters made at the part level NOT at feature, surface, etc level so it will not populate anything coming from the copy geom parameters si

Has anyone used Infor PLM with Creo? Our products are highly customizable.  We are in a multi CAD environment. One location is using Inventor and Vault and the other location is using Creo and Windchill as PDM. We are using Infor CPQ that coordinates all our system (Sales, Engineering and ERP). We are looking for a full PLM solution. One of the possibilities is to change our CAD system to single vendor system either PTC or Autodesk. But that is not an easy process. We are still using our Engineering data that are more than 15 years old. Migrating them to a single CAD system will be a humongous task. We are thinking of leaving the CAD systems as they are and building a PLM solution that communicates well with our CPQ and ERP and integrates our CAD and PDM systems. Infor PLM is one of the contenders of our PLM solution among Windchill and Aras. Does it work seamlessly with Creo? Is it at par with Windchill? Any major issue or drawback that we need to be aware of?

Today, we're diving into the groundbreaking world of nano voxel, a company specializing in two photon polymerization, 3d printing technology, or in other words, 3d printing in miniature. They aim to transform micromanufacturing by replicating parts into silicon molds with unmatched precision. Our producer Aaron visited Nanovoxel's state of the art facilities to meet founder Domenico Foglia. Hear how their incredible feats of micromanufacturing can create a baby Yoda the size of a grain of sand, or an entire castle crafted on a pencil tip.    

"Generally, the good practice in defining sketches/sections is to prefer constraints over dimensions, and to prefer surfaces as references over edges/vertices."   This statement came from the PTC R&D team in the context of a discussion involving constraints of a sketch and the resultant feature. I was having difficulty capturing the design intent to produce the desired outcome in the geometry of the part.  The desired result was achievable but only by implementing some unorthodox sketch constraints. The geometry is proprietary so I will not be posting it here.   Has anyone had training on Creo since the intent manager has been deployed as the only sketch environment, and if so do you recall this paradigm from the training? Are there any other resources that explain in detail the algorithms in intent manager with examples of outliers and solutions?   The closest thing I can find on PTC.com is a tutorial titled "Understand Construction Geometry Theory".  &nbs

Hi everyone,I wanted to better understand the difference between the options Create and exclude shrinkwrap and Exclude and create Shrinkwrap (I attach image 1)It is indicated in the help but I did not understand it. Thanks,Matteo

Hi there, I have an odd "thing" in Creo and/or Windchill.When I create a new Object (like a Assembly) and I edit its parameters, the lifecycle state is set to "Released": only if I upload the file, the correct state is displayed: @unknown: Is this behavior intended or is this a bug? I am using Creo 10.0.5.0 with Windchill 12.0.2.19   

Hello, I am a student in Mechanical Engineering and I am looking to make a so-called hypoidal pinion.I want this pinion to be parametric, I have already done 90% of the work but I am stuck.I am trying to find a curve that allows me to start from the top of the cone to a pitch circle where the tooth of my pinion is defined. This curve must have a BETA parameter that allows me to manage the inclination of the teeth. The problem is that my curve goes too far, and I don't know how to limit the h factor in my equation, as you can see here ->My curve must take into account the following parameters (I think):Spiral angle (β): This is the angle of the spiral of the tooth.Pressure angle (𝛼): This is the angle formed by the line of action with the transverse plane.Base radius (𝑟𝑏): This is the radius at the base (primitive) of the cone where the teeth begin.Module (𝑚): This is the measure that connects the distance between two consecutive teeth on the pitch circle.Taper angle (𝛾):

Hello, community! When I import a stl file, I have no way of knowing whether it is closed (other than the visual search for a green colored hole). Is there a simple way to ensure that the imported STL file is closed? I appreciate the responses in advance.Thanks

Hello, There was a function ProPtntbl_remove_instance() in Pro/Develop. What is the equivalent function for this to remove instance from Pattern Table using Toolkit.  Thank You

Hi, im working on a university project and new to the whole top-down design game.I have already created a sketch and some datum planes in my skeleton model. (I have many variables, so there is a lot of references).Next, I have published some of the sketches as a publish-geometry, so i can use it as a sketch for my parts which will be part of my assembly. Now Ive got the problem that i just cant get the copied sketch to work like a normal sketch for revolving or extruding parts. I have already tried moving the copy-geometry around inside of my model tree (main assemby, subassembly, part), but the only way I could imagine using the copied sketch as a revolve/extrude sketch is by referencing every single line inside of my copied sketch and using it to make a new sketch, which just does not seem rigth. Sadly, I also cant find any tutorials on this specific problem, because everyone uses the copy-geometry feature for already existig parts and not sketches.Bonus question:

hi,I have creat a mapkey in the 3D model,but when I work in the 2D model,the mapkeys do not work,

I'm running Creo 9 and there is an option to merge bodies. Is that not possible in Creo 8?   ----------------------------------- (Note from the Moderator: this question was a comment, moved from this Creo idea)

Is there a way to regenerate the part model and assembly using ModelCHECK SAVE mode? is there a way to confirm whether the model is regenerated or not?/ family table is verified or not?/relations is verified or not? using the ModelCHECK save mode.

Hi guys,some weeks ago we moved from onprem Atlassian Wiki Atlassian Cloud. To improve the user experience we implemented Microsoft oauth as SSO. This is working fine for all browsers but not for the embedded chromium in CREO 9. Here the browser always loses the cookies after starting a new creo session and the users have to re-login with MFA...Has anyone out there a similar experience or any hint for a solution?Thanks for your suggestions.

Hello everybody,in creo 7 do i have the possibility to directly put on the table the single bodies of a multibody part?do I have the ability to shot the bodies? Do I have to extract the parts and redo an assembly? Thank you,Matteo.

Welcome to Third Angle, where today we’re diving into wave power technology. To hit net zero targets around the world, we need to harness the power of nature and smart technology. In this episode, we learn all about CorPower Ocean, supported by PTC's largest partner, PDS Vision, who are leading the way with a wave energy system that balances supply and demand without needing as much generation capacity, storage, or grid infrastructure. Our producer, Benoît Derrier, visited the company's testing center in Stockholm to see their latest prototype in action. He also spoke with Jacob Ljungbäck and Antoine Bonel, two of CorPower Ocean's talented engineers, who shared some amazing insights into their groundbreaking tech and its potential impact on renewable energy.    

Why can I not move the yellow highlighted item to below the datum planes in this assembly feature tree?  Using Creo 10.

Hello,Creo Parametric 8.0.6 I've created a mapkey to export dxf file and save drawing/part parameters then use vbscript to rename the dxf file, the mapkey works great in Creo but when i use distrubuted batch to export dxf using this mapkey it will only export the first page, is there a way to loop this for all pages in a drawing? Thanks,TTD <TTD version="1.0" created_by="PTC"><DESCRIPTION>Run a mapkey defined in a config.pro</DESCRIPTION><GROUP>Misc</GROUP><DETAILS>Will be run on any file type; user is responsible for choosing types that mapkey will operate on correctly.</DETAILS><SERVICE name="dbatchs"/><FILTER_FILE_TYPES type=".drw"/><!-- Replace "F1" with chosen mapkey when customizing file --><TKFUNC func="ProMapkeyRun" mapkey_key_sequence="dxfdet"><save_model>false</save_model></TKFUNC></TTD>

Currently running Creo Parametric 7. I'm trying to auto-populate a repeat region.  In this assembly, there are two cases:1) XXXXXX-XXXXX-000, where "000" is the component find number. This is a parameter automatically generated at the part level, and can be called via relation asm_mbr_fn2) The second case is a manually entered find number at the assembly level. This can be called via asm_mbr_cparam_find_number These cases are mutually exclusive, i.eParts that fall under case 2 do not have an automatically generated asm_mbr_fn,Parts that fall under case 1 do not have a manually entered asm_mbr_cparam_find_number The components that fall under either case also have a specific naming convention. (see "YYYY", "_XXX" and "_YYYY" below) Here is the relation I have written - but it is not working correctly, specifically the second IF statement is failing. Those cells in the table are blank.  The first IF statement works just fine - it correctly populates the part

I want to fill the symbol square with white and make the text ABC black.   1. What product and version are you running? Creo Parametric 9.0.8.0   2. Are you having issues? I want to fill the symbol square with white and make the text ABC black. I tried hatching and filling, but the text became the same color and became unreadable.   3. Are you using a workaround? If yes, please explain it. No, there is no workaround.   4. What is the use case for your organization? Explain how your idea works in a disruptive environment or how it applies to a real-world situation.   5. How is this issue currently impacting your organization? (number of users affected, lost productivity hours, etc.) I'm using the Toolkit to place symbols, but when I place the symbols on a model in a drawing, the text inside the symbols becomes hard to read.   Currently, I manually adjust the symbol position after placing the symbol, but this is time-consuming due to the large number of targ

Hello all, I am saving a step file using ProIntf3DFileWrite() but I lose all colors assigned to parts and features. They are all set to grey by default. Is there any setting/config options I need to change before saving the model? Or any alternative method to save .asm/step file without losing colors assigned?

I'm working remotely today trying to retrieve a rather large assembly.  My Creo home directory is a mapped server drive sitting at HQ.  Not recommended I believe but that is our current configuration. When I retrieve this assembly it looks like randomly named temp files are being written to my home directory, causing this retrieval to take a long time.  See circled in the attached.  Knowing this setup is not the best, why are these files being written and what can be done until we can convince our IT people to put our home directories local to our laptops? Creo 8.0.0.0,  Windchill 12. Thanks..
