Creo Elements Direct

Hi all, We have been using Model Manager v17.0 for 5 years. We don't use any other module of PTC Creo as we are using Siemens Solid Edge as our CAD software. We think that it is time to update Model Manager but we'd like to wait to v20.0.   I have found some info about PTC Creo E/D v20.0 but all news about Model Manager that I can find is about tools to migrate to Windchill but none about developing of v20.0.   Do you know if Model Manager v20.0 is going to be developed? Should we migrate to Windchill?   Thank you very much in advance!This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

In our company we have Creo Elements Drafting with server-side startup scripts loaded, that include a lot of text notes in Shift-JIS encoding. The default language of Creo Drafting 18.1 is Japanese.   When trying to use change_locale 'en' the Creo Drafting standard menus, and buttons are switched to English words, but the program completely looses the ability to load any script with Japanese text inside.   Windows 7x64 has Japanese system locale set up.   Is there a way to force English standard menu/buttons, while keeping Japanese locale for reading scripts in Shift-JIS?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Customer has INDEX mill/turn NC machine with SINUMERIK 840D control system. This machine can have upto four turrets which could work independently. Movements of the individual turrets can be combined arbitrary. Each turret is programmed via separate NC program so called "channel". Inside of the control system, these channels can be synchronized via special programming elements called "waiting marks". CREO 3.0 is able to prepare mfg models for such types of the machines. Unfortunately CL-data are generated into the one CL-file. But I have no idea how to split postprocessor's output into upto four separate NC programmes-"channels". A couplet years ago, I opened the case on it. But without any solution.   Does anybody of you have real positive experiance with this, in conjuction with CREO and G-POST?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Following the e-Learning program.   First they say that shells are not very accurate at areas of small radii. Then they say that in comparison with shells, solid elements are not accurate at areas of small radii.   So, models with small radii, (as a bike for example), should be simulated using shells idealizations or solid elements?     This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Although I do like Creo Elements / Direct Modeling Express and I appreciate that it is free, a problem with this program is that it is not very user friendly, in my opinion, and that can be frustrating.  I sometimes find myself unable to figure out how to do simple things and the help file sometimes doesn't help.  I am in that situation now.   I want to move a workplane in a direction normal to itself until it snaps onto a certain face which is parallel to the workplane.  That seems like it should be a simple thing to do but I can't see how to do it.  I thought I could use the 3D Copilot (in the dynamic position mode) and that when the pointer got over the face the face would get highlighted and I could select it and then the worplane would snap to it.  But it doesn't get highlighted and I can't select it.  Of course there are other ways to accomplish this, such as just creating a new workplane on the face.  But I have been running into this part

Hello,   I tried to perform an analysis of a problem from the PTC Help Center.   I get the same exact numbers of elements and equations. However, the result is QUITE DIFFERENT.   I checked all variables (units, measures...) and I cannot see my mistake. The image shows you the problem, the attached file is my analysis.   Can you help me to figure it out?   Thank you.   This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi folks,   I am using Creo Elements / Direct Modeling Express.  I am trying to loft through three profiles on three workplanes in a workplane set.  The profiles are fairly simple shapes with four vertices each.  But one of the workplanes is perpendicular to another one and one edge of the profile on one is coextensive with one edge of a profile in another workplane (and I think that may be causing a problem).  Anyway, when I try to create an appropriate matchline I get an error message which says: "If a vertex lies in another workplane, a vertex must be at the same position in the other workplane."  I don't know what that means and cannot create a loft between the three profiles on the three workplanes.  What must I do to create this loft?  I have attached a drawing with the three workplanes so you can see what I am talking about.   Thanks in advance,   VincentThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

For those who are interested in learning lisp, I highly recommend this book "Land of Lisp" Learn to program lisp one game at a time.  By Conrad Barski, MD.   This book explains lisp clearly and actually makes it entertaining to boot.   This book is available on Amazon.  The website is http://landoflisp.com/.   Regards   Tom KirkmanThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.
