Creo Elements Direct

Hello,Im a solidworks user, but im starting to work with creo elements/direct.When i try to add a dimension to a hole, the diameter symbol doesn`t show.Can someone help me?Thanks   

 Hello! We have a very large quantity of .mi files that have been created with Direct Modeling over the last years which contain tables with information about the drawn part. We would like to read this information to e.g. find all parts that share certain entries to find similar parts. One idea was to parse the .mi file which contains all text in the file, but we don't know where this text is positioned on the drawing, so we can't interpret all these text-fields again as table where the relative position of the strings is crucial.Is there a parser for mi-files that we could use? We found python-implementations for dxf or dwg, but so far nothing for .mi. It does not have to be python, any implementation would be great. If such a thing does not exist, is there a format-description so that we could implement it ourself?

Good evening,exist a lisp functions to generate a QRcode  in Annotation? Thank you

Hej everyone! I am running Creo 7 and have tried several times to apply the latest updates. I have administrator rights on my computer.  When I start the setup file I get no error message, nothing. But the file starts somehow and then nothing happens. How do I fix this? Greets from Sweden!Björn  

I met a problem that the part is broken when exchanging 3D data between Creo and Direct Modeling. So how can I exchange the 3D data smoothly between Creo and Direct modeling? Thanks a lot.    

Creo 7 is instantly returning a "Windchill Authentication Failed" error when trying to establish a new server connection. I have cleared all of the cached password information set the browser type to "chromium_based". I am able to connect from Creo 3 and a web browser. I am using a freshly updated license of Engineer III.  

Please add "Replace Symbol" functionality.

I'm trying to upgrade Creo Elements/Direct Modelling Express 6.0 to 8.0. When I run the Installation file it stops mid way with the following error "Internal Error 2754. soliddesigner.exe" Has anyone else experienced this and know how to resolve?    

Our company uses a lot of structural shapes in our designs (wide flange beams, channels, angles, etc..). We have start parts for things like plates, round tubes, etc.. and would like to have start parts of the other structural shapes as well. With these start parts, we would like to be able to have all the sizes for each shape loaded into it, so mid design it is easy to change sizes if needed.. Currently, we have start parts set up for these and pull the dimensions from an excel sheet. The problem with this is anytime you start a part, or want to change the size, you have to re-open excel and reload it which is time consuming as there is some bugs in doing this. We tried to do this using family tables and it works, however, we have issues with naming when we try to change sizes. The items in our BOM are populated based off of our item names, and the family tables requires the name to be changed everytime you change sizes. So because our part names cannot change mid-design, it does

I have a trouble in annotation module. drawing seem to inappropriate resolution. I can not select drawing elements, I can not dimensioning. When I switch modeling screen evreything is ok. Just annotation module resolution is differs.I am awaiting your replies Thank you all  

When I create an arc in 2D, for example of around 960mm in radius, when I then pull the 3D object it does not smoothly follow the arc.  Am I doing something wrong?  This screen shot shows what I mean.  Thank you.  

I am using Creo Elements/Direct License Server 19.0  with Windows server 2008 R2.Is this version compatible with Windows server 2019. ?Has anyone ever installed this version on Windows server 2019 or even 2022. ? I am no longer covered by a maintenance contract and I am looking for version 20.5 of the license server.Can anyone send me a copy of this version ? TY for your help

I am generating hole tables for grand plates. Creo creates table in English but my manufacturing team is Turkish and so they can not understand the type of the holes. I am changing the names manually but it tooks a long time and this is not the real solution. I need to change hole callouts autoamtically.    I need help how to change the hole definitions permanently.      Thank you very much

Hey PTC Community,many students report problems with the quality agent and the embedded browser.Either it says the Quality Agend cannot be initalized or the embedded Browser is not available.  We require the access to the browser to teach the PDM systems to our students.We reinstalled Creo with Admin permissions (with system restart), updated Java, turned off the firewallIs there anything else we can try? Kind regardsArn Joerger

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me out with this hateful piece of software. I am trying to put an 1/8BSP tapped hole in for a part. In the hole tool I have the options of ISO, UNF and UNC thread classes and BSPT, NPT, or NPTF if it was a tapered hole. Why not BSP? God I wish I could go back to Catia where things work as you want them too. 

Hello,I am trying to define animations automatically with Lisp-Files. The dialogs to define animations are part of the "Advanced Assembly Module". I'd like to rotate and translate objects or assemblies based on their coordinate systems inside the dialog "anim_create_animations".  Description:In the attachments is a Lisp-File, which works quite well, but there are a few restrictions. First we define the assembly (B1), object (T1) and coordinate system (CoSy1). Then the dialog "anim_create_animation" is called with "sd-call-cmds" and an animation is created. After that, the object is translated in the direction of the global x-axis (1,0,0) and the position is captured with ":dyn_pos_capture". Afterwards, the object is rotated around an axis defined by "direction3d" and "position3d". Again a global direction is used, z-axis (0,0,1) and the position (0,0,0). After the rotation, a picture is taken and the animation is finished. Now to the problems:Instead of the global x-axis

I have a brand-new HP laptop running Windows 10 and I just downloaded and installed Creo Elements / Direct Modeling Express 8.0. When I tried to launch it, I immediately got this error: ``` The code execution cannot proceed because mfc140u.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. ``` I tried reinstalling but the problem remains.    

May I learn how are you managing data revisions? There is no history tree in CED. I tried to put older datas in a container but I think it is not the real solution.

Hello Creo community! I am currently running version 6.0 on my laptop for my solid modeling class. However, the new Windows update has come out and I am afraid it may no longer work if I upgrade, so I would like to ask if it's safe to upgrade to Windows 11 for version 6.0.  Thank you all so much in advance! I really appreciate the help!

Bonjour à tous, Je suis IT technician au sein d'une entreprise qui exploite la solution ME10 (plus précisément direct drafting V20.2.1.0)Depuis peu, un utilisateur rencontre des soucis pour démarrer l'application en mode UI mixte. 4 messages d'erreur s'affichent. Les 4 messages affichent un soucis avec la taille des menus et de la police.

I have an existing Creo drawing. Is there a way I can change the drawing "format" to a "template"? It doesn't give me that option. It seems once you choose the format option, there's no swaping it out for a drawing template.

  When we work machine elements like cylinder and piston. We need limiting the distance of two bodies.    Is there a way to limiting the distance in adv. design?  

Can we learn and enter automatically bounding body dimensions in part properties?

To give a better view and reduce the paper usage it should be possible to create a BOM on a docuplane. Every step of making a BOM in Modeling is possible except the BOM draw function.        Modeling                                      Annotation
