Hi, I need an expert help who can provide the right procedure to customize the BOM in Creo elements Direct modeling under 3d Documentation. The generic documentation is bit confusing & doesnt show which file need to used for adding the syntax. Appreciate you quick response.ThanksNaresh

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. 

ME10  cannot initialize its Windows print subsystem on Windows Server 2025.The error win_prt_mgr is not defined proves the ME10 print macro is not loaded. any idea to make it work

The attached files are on an old PC that are working with version 20.7.When I copy these files to the new machine (in the same file location) that do not work on the new machine running 20.8. How do I get them to work? Thank you for your help

Hi everyone!I need to copy multi Holes as in picture. I'm using Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.7But, I didn't find out the Pattern or Multi-Copy function.Could you Instruct me the step or Document to take?Thank you

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 

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?

Hello, after the upgrade of win 11 from 23h2 to 24h2  Me10 (CoCr2D CAD doesn't work anymoreWhere is the problem? How can I resolve it? Best regards

Hi everyone,I’m working in Creo Parametric 12 and I want to make hidden lines in my drawings more visible(you can see in photo 1 how it's now). Specifically, I want:Dashed segments to be longerLines to appear clearer for printing and on-screen viewingI think i have to add a line to my drawing settings but i don't know which one. Could you please advise how to achieve this?Thank you!

"The code execution cannot proceed because mfc140u.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."Please show me how to install the above file "mfc140u.dll"

How can I find the length of the profile when I select?I use this infos the boom list. I would like to add profile lenght.

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

Hello I am working on a custom quick acces toolbar in Creo Elements version 20.1.2.0I am making 1 tab that contains all the functions i need on a regular basis. And one that relocates my most used functions to the foreground. I wanted to create named seperators like the standard menu does. But I can only find the boring old line seperator. Is there any way to give my custom split menu a nice looking format like standard? Or is that something that is reserved for the base program? ▼What i've got so far▼ ▼What I want▼ If anyone knows how to do this. I would love to know it. Its not completely neccesary, but it would be a nice clean look to a layout that may be used as a standard within the company. Thanks in advance!

Using Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 9.0 New to Creo Direct Express and creating first drawings of parts and assemblies. Each time I edit the text on a drawing (title blocks, BOM's etc) a msg is displayed similar to the the one attached.What does this mean? Is there another way I should be editing these items?A second question is when creating the BOM's using the scan, table, draw method, why doesn't the part number populate? Thanks for any feedback

Hello, I have a ME10 macro that selects all geometries from a view and returns the pointer and geometry properties as a list to LISP.The pointer corresponds to the return value of the sd-get-annotator-reference function.To continue working with the elements, I need the sel_items for the pointers. But I can't find an inverse function for sd-get-annotator-reference.So far I have implemented this by using get_selection in LISP to get all sel_items and building a new list in which the pointers are added using sd-get-annotator-reference.I then use this list to add the sel_items to the list returned by ME10. However, the last process is quite slow.Does anyone have an idea how to do this efficiently?BR

Greetings Members As of this week (10/28/25) I am unable to obtain an Activation Key for Express Modeling.  It was working fine the previous week.  Here is a step by step description of what happens:- Click the CE Direct Express icon on my desktop- Obtain the following dialogue, this is normal or at least has been since direct access to the license server stopped working for me in Nov 2023.  Each time I have to reactivate even though I have an account and have been using CE Direct Express for more than 2 years.  Nothing has changed - same laptop, Win 10 OS, etc.- I enter my email address and password, select ‘Activate’ to get this dialogue, also normal.- In my case there is no proxy server, I am merely a PC on the internet.  My internet connection is fast and reliable.  I select the Submit button and obtain this dialogue:- At which point I select ‘Request activation key’.  Normally I would receive an activation key in seconds, paste it into the M
