Creo Elements Direct

I have a model in Creo Direct express and need this to be saved as a Step file. I already contacted PTC to upgrade but I expect that the COVID has closed down communication. I want to upgrade to Creo 7 but don't get any reaction/ response from PTC.  Can anybody help me out in the meantime? I am in urgent need to get my Bundle in a Step file.  It would be highly appreciated. You can send me a message or an email so that I can share the model. My mail is info@absolar-africa.com Greetings Vincent. 

Hello everyone,   I am trying to find where I can learn how to write a "repeatable" hot key. For some testing purposes I need to create one attribute in some 3D Models. I have of course no problem to create it manually 🙂 However, in order to check in the test assembly into a test server, I need to repeat it for all the components and sub assemblies and there are about 2000 of them.   I am trying to learn (unless someone talented and generous enough write the code in the post :)) how to create a hotkey or script that will go to all the prt and asm files in the session and create the attribute   ATTRIBUTE1, type string, value = xxxxx and it is a designated attribute.   Thanks a lot Best regards  

Hi, how can I improve the quality of models in modeling direct 19? where are the graphics settings of the application?   can I act directly on the Nvidia control panel?   what settings do your recommend?  

It will be very appreciate in new version after 20.2 to have possibilty to chose a color or a tag for each part in part list.

It will be very appreciate in new version after 20.2 to have possibilty to move 3D windows to auxialiary screens also.

Hello,   I know that my following query may not have a solution and I may be stuck doing everything over again. However, I am hoping some of you might have some insight on any tricks I can use to make my life easier.   What I am Trying to do: I have .mi files that are finished and ready to be sent to a manufacturer. However, I want to attach the corresponding 3D part to the .mi file so that an external person can reference the 3D geometry of the part without opening another file.   This essentially makes it function like a .BDL file where in one file I can access the part and the annotated drawing.   (Originally was only going to send .mi files...looking back I should have just saved everything as a .bdl file, but I no longer can)   Questions: 1) Is this possible? Can I import the corresponding part to the opened .mi file, have it sync up so that the 2D views correspond with a 3D view and save it as a BDL file? 2) If so, how do I sync up the 2D views with the 3

Currently, when a command is started from the mini toolbar, the full UI is not shown. Pressing shift+space will open up the full UI for the command. Is there a way to automatically show the full UI without having to hit shift+space? More often than not, I need the full ui open.

Hello,   I am trying to write a LISP routine to iteratively create views of all open models. I found some stuff on the internet but am not able to modify it properly to get what I want. I also tried using the inbuilt Recorder to get some lisp..   Can someone help me on how do I loop through a list of things.. parts in this case and perform a set of actions on each of them? Basically like For each element in... do XYZ...   Thanks, Shweta

Hi~   I want to do reliefless bending as shown in the figure in CED 19.0 sheet metal module.  I tried many times, but I could n’t achieve it. Anybody could help me.   Thanks.

Does anyone have advice on how to move my individual CREO Elements Direct license to a new computer?  I'm retired and don't expect to use it to make money, so I'm not enthused about paying annual subscription fees.  I just want to be able to use my old version for personal projects without having to count on a 6-year-old computer.

Hello all,   In the "Save to Model Manager" window it is possible to check a box with "Add PDF". This generates a PDF of the moment the drawing is saved and attaches it to the masterdata. After saving it and getting it checked the drawing state of the drawing is changed to released by our purchaser. The names and dates of approving and releasing are shown on the drawing, but will appear after opening the drawing again.   This information is not visible on the pdf that is generated during saving. When using the batchplot function (send to plotter), this is visible on the printed drawing. One way to get this information on the pdf in the model manager is to open the drawing in creo annotation, then under the tab Model Manager, click add pdf.    This means that our purchaser should open every drawing he releases, and click add pdf to update the drawing pdf with the approve and release information. Is there a way to do this automatically? By adding some macro script to

The sd-inq-part-density command can be modified to find the density of the contents, instance or realized.  However; I cannot get the kind option to work.     I added this to a lisp (sd-inq-part-density part (kind :contents))   but this does not work.  With out the (kind :contents) it works find.   Any suggestions?   Below is copied from the help in Version 19.1.   (sd-inq-part-density part &optional (kind :realized)) Description: Returns density of the specified part. Kind determines the kind of density you want to inquire (attached to contents, attached to instance or the one realized).   Parameters: part {SEL_ITEM} kind (optional) one of :contents - inquire the base density (attached to contents; may be nil) :instance - inquire the part density (attached to instance; may be nil) :realized - inquire the realized density (i.e. the one used when realizing the part)   Return Value: density {LONG-FLOAT} nil - if the inquir

Hello,   I met the problem showed as below pictures. Can anyone help me to slove it?   Thanks.

Hello,I need convert .mi file to .dwg scale 1:1, because in annotation the views are scaled and I need convert the drawing in dwg real dimension.Can someone help me?Thank you.Stefano

Salve, quando cerco di salvare un modello in formato .PKG mi da sempre questo errore: Creo Elements/Direct Modeling non è in grado di creare il fascicolo "H:/X_FILES/xxxxxx/xxx_xx_xxxxxxxxx/xxx.pkg".

Hi~   In 13.1a version it conveniently to display one viewport to preview select view you want to add.   But in 19.0 version this feature is disappeared. It there setting to set the feature work?   Thanks.

Hi~   When you do "move views" command, you have to move cursor onto another view 1 or 2 second to display auxiliary line in 19.0 version. It's not so conveniently. Is there a setting adjustment to make display all auxiliary line? As before 13.1 version.   Thanks      

I have a multisheet-drawing in Annotation and want to Export it to a multisheet-DXF, but I always get on sheet. Is there a workarount to resolve the Problem, because DXF is multisheet-possible.

Usually drag the LISP file to the modeling work area，then the function command show in the toolbox.  But it show none in the toolbox when you do it in CEDM 19.0. I take the example  "Color Parts"  in the integration kit，and save as a LISP file to dray to the modeling work area. It's still failure.

At the beginning of useing Creo elements dircet modeling 19.0 was working well. But after a period of use, the Select (F2) command and preselect command cannot work,  and the space function key is also disabled. I don't know what the problem is.

According to information from PTC support - support for the AP242 protocol is not yet planned.😠This urgently requires that the data exchange in STEP format be further developed in the CED environment.

Hi  Is any one knows 20.3 will has any what's new?? I need some specific contents about it Thank you~ 

I'm having a problem starting Annotation. The error involves TEXT that i have "DEFINED AS A TEMPLATE". The error states that the defined text is too long. I think if I can delete the this text the problem will be resolved. I have tried to follow the file path in the error but have had zero success. Can someone tell me where these text/templates are stored !?    

Reference case Number :C15069137         .As you can see the CEDD versions show differently than the download side: (Please refer Capture.PNG) On the matrix of v.20.1 M020 is showing in download as v.20.1.2.  Are they the same thing? On the matrix of v.20.2.1.0, it is showing in download as 20-2-0-0.  Are they the same thing?     Can anyone please help to find out the discrepancies above?
