Creo Elements Direct

When you are trying to install Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager on a Server with multiple network interfaces, it is a more a gamble than a real specified process, whether the installation will succeed or not.Even when you have succeeded in installing Model Manager on a server with multiple network interfaces you may get wrong answers from the http://<server>:9898/ port, where IP-address is mentioned again.....In the past the typical server within a CAD installation had one network interface working (simply unhooking the cable) and everything goes fine.In the meantime you will encounter other configurations:1.) network interface to the management net2.) network interface to the production net (e.g. 1GBit)3.) network interface to the production net (e.g. 10GBit)4.) network interface via the USB connection to the KVM system used for dealing with problems standing directly in front of the rack.* When the algorithm within the product selects the wrong interface during the insta

Creo Elements Direct Modeling 20.7.1.0 (English):I can't "snap to" or "catch" an intersection when dimensioning.In this case I would like to dimension from the bottom of a key slot to the top of the shaft at the 12 o'clock position. The only way i have found is to draw a very short vertical geometry line at the point where the center line intersects the diameter line. When I create this line I can snap/catch the intersection of the center line and the diameter line WHY can't I catch the same intersection when dimensioning?Thank you for your help.Tim Higdon

With version 20.8 I cannot access anymore the remote license Server status using http://<Remote License Server>:17171. Logged to the server http://localhost:17171 works as expected.Il there any workaround or some administration command to use?

I'm looking for a Creo expert (paid if needed) to assist me moving all my customizations to a new PC.A back and forth thru this forum/emails is not workable for me. I need someone to connect to the PC then resolve all issues preventing my Creo customizations from working on the new PC. Old PC with working customize files = Creo Direct Modeling 20.7New PC that these customizations do not work on = Creo Direct Modeling release 20.8 Thank you for your help.

Hello, Right now a supplier is using Creo elements direct modeling latest version and they create annotations drawing files and send .bd2 files to us. I wanted to ask if there was a way for us to open it or convert it without having to turn it into a neutral file? We tried step file but my issue is when it comes to Creo Parametric the models are broken? Is there no direct way to address this? Thank you.

Current version: Windchill 12.1 with Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.7 When using CED Modeling in combination with Windchill, it is possible to show Windchill attributes in the structure browser through structure browser views. It would be great to have these attributes also shown in the tooltip when hovering over a component (instead of showing the structure browser path of the selected component) in order to have more clarity/information when navigating the viewport.

Unfortunately, this was never fixed.  Now, the Activation Key server is down (URL). Is Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express still a usable product?  If so, what's the fix?

Hi, I will want download the sw Element direct modeling with 30 days freeHow many licenses are possible for this period?How do they work? Locally or on the company network?Thank you

I went from Creo Elements 20.4 with Workgroup manager 12 to Creo Elements 20.6.2 with workgroup manager 13.0.2.1In the drawing browser, the name of the drawing used to be the Windchill file name, and now it is the Windchill name.Is it possible to change it to the windchill number or file name?I used to use it in a lisp, for example:display (oli::sd-am-inq-drawing-no)But now I get a different value then I used to.Also I can't find how to get the windchill attributes (like PTC_WM_NUMBER) of the drawing in lisp.I tried lot's of things but I can't find it. 

Hello Community, we are facing an issue with Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.7 + Annotation connected to Windchill+. When creating a new drawing from a 3D model (e.g. model name TEST) and saving it to the Windchill workspace, the drawing receives the correct Windchill number (e.g. CAD0000403) according to the OIR.However, in CED Annotation the drawing name is not updated – it still shows the original model name (TEST). In the TRACE log we can see that the number (PTC_WM_NUMBER) is correctly transferred from Windchill to Annotation, but the expected macro (Docu_set_drawing_no) is not executed. On another CAD workstation running Modeling 20.6 with Windchill 12.1.2.5 (on-premise) the drawing is renamed correctly, which corresponds to the standard behavior of the CED–Windchill integration. So far we could not identify a configuration difference. We also checked PTC documentation but did not find any known issue related to this behavior. My questions:Has anyon

最近、と思いますがリビジョンチェックで図面をロードする際「’TopY’という名前のパーツが一つ以上あります」というアラートが出ます。「OK」をして進み、＜比較＞を実行すると「***ロードファイルで図面がロードされていません」と表示され比較されません。対策はありますか？ Windows11 25H2Me10はV19.0なのでサポートはされておりません 

Hi, the server for using direkt modeling express is down therefore i cannot copy an activation key, can you help please?Best Andre  

This solution is not working as expected. It will only get the properties of the active part or faceTo get the properties of the selected part or face use: (where mypart or myface is defined in the sd-defdialog) (get_vol_prop :for_part :part mypart :area) (get_vol_prop :for_face :face myface :area) (get_vol_prop :for_part :part mypart :tol :percent_tol 5 :area)  SeeIntegration Kit GET_VOL_PROP Integration Kit GET_VOL_PROP MPPASA subactionIntegration Kit GET_VOL_PROP MPFSA subaction 

I can't get a 72-hour activation key for Creo Elements Modelling Express (6) any more , I get a "Cloudflare Internal Error" (Error 500) I've tried re-installing Creo and re-installing Windows (8.1 on a Macbook Pro Bootcamp) but no joy. It was working fine a while ago but I read that they have upgraded their security, maybe that's the cause. I've emptied cache. and tried different browsers. Is there a way to bypass cloudflare?

I'm trying to access the model name and read it in a tree format from Creo ED. Tried a few Lisp APIs I saw in the document; didn't help much as none returned the model name. https://support.ptc.com/help/creo_elements_direct/r20.3.0.0/advanced_documentation/integration_kit/reference/function_index.html Is there any other way to access the data? C# also doesn't seem to have the related API on Part
