Creo Elements Direct

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?

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.

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?

I know that the newest version of Creo Elements/Direct Modeling has the ability to search text in cad. Does this allow the creation of PDFs with searchable text?   Thanks   Tom

Hello everyone ,   We use Creo 18.1 (M050( on Windows 7 and Windows 10 computers with 2 screens.We have a problem with W10 users.Indeed, when a Creo plan is active on the secondary screen, if you open another file (Word, Excel, Pdf, Internet, and even another Creo page), automatically this page will open under the active plan (background) .The only way to see that the new file is open is to go to the taskbar to see the application icon.The only way to display the new page on the screen is to shrink the Creo page. Namely that Creo has already been reinstalled, the driver of the graphics card is up to date (NVIDIA M4000). Add to that , I migrated some computers from W7 to W10.With W7 he did not have the problem, with W10 the problem appears. If you have any idea or if you have the solution :), I will be delighted. Thank you BB

I have installed Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express.I can't print a file with an .mi extension made with an older version of ME10.Thank you

PTC,   Since more then 4 weeks the PTC License Server for Creo Elements Direct Express is dead/unavailable See: See https://community.ptc.com/t5/System-Administration/Creo-Elements-Direct-Express-License-Server-does-nt-work/td-p/417278     Users of Creo Elements Direct Express are desperately asking for a response/official reponse. Thanks for taking ownership for this issue.   Max

Following LISP call throws exception for certain files.   (AM_VIEW_PROP :the_view viewPath :show_thread_lines :off :update_view)   viewPath is the actual path of the view i.e. sheetName/ViewName.   Intention is to turn off the display of thread lines for the view and we call it for all the views in the sheet.   What could be the reason?   PS> Ignore the smiley in the code above and read it as collonoff 🙂

Please can you help me about the correct Nvidia drivers setup for Creo Elements Modeling environment? If It's possible for Rel. 16 and Rel 20.2. In specific I need to know if the "OpenGl" mode is supported in Rel 16 and next in Rel 20.2. Thank You
