PTC always changes icons too, and one that causes me issues anyway, is the "close window" icon. There use to be a red X in it, and not it looks too much like other file icons. The workaround is to create your own mapkey to fix it as PTC does not allow you to edit system icons.   PLEASE put the red X back in the close window icon. This makes it very easy to see and understand what it is for.   This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi all, although in AutoGem settings it is setted a max aspect ratio of the elements of 10, where there are bricks and wedges this rule is not observed. You can see the image below.

Why is there a second icon that launches for Creo Elements/Direct 18.1 on Windows 8.X? Other applications reuse the same icon on taskbar for the opened application too. It confuses some people who see it, at first glance, and they think there are 2 CAD applications open.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Greetings all.   We are upgrading to Windchill 10.2 and Creo 2.0 from Windchill 9.1 and Pro/Elements 5.0 We are wanting to use the "Mark up" funciton in Creo View to both mark up our drawings in the review process and to retain the information for later review of the design process.   I am looking for best practices, and how to understand the way that Creo View works.   How are annotations preserved when the revision changes?   Will the annotation stay with the revision it was added to, or will it transmit to the next revision?   Also, will they stay permanently or are they deleted when a Creo drawing or model is released?   Thanks in advance, JamesThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am looking for assistance in exporting a creo elements/pro 5.0 drawing to an ACAD drawing that will not only keep the integrity of the creo elements/pro 5.0 text but also allow me to edit the text once exported to ACAD.   after a few "save a copy" & "publish" setting variations, I am left with either non-matching but edittable text in ACAD or exact text matchings but non-edittable - like that if they were imported as a .dxf file.   Is there any, clean method via settings, formats, configs etc. that this conversion can happen cleaning?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Currenly I am looking for a IKIT function to inquire the color of a line in a workplane. I did not find any. there is a sd-inq-edge-color but it only returns the color of 3D edges. For geometry on a WP it delivers nil. Also the command edge_2d_prop does not return anything but nil.

Hello All,   A simple model comprising a cylindrical bar held at one end.   The constraint is defined in a cylindrical csys as it is desired the bar should rotate relative to an applied load.   The rotation should be achieved using an enforced displacement constraint.   The enforced displacement is THETA.   I would have expected the bar to rotate, (rigid body) but instead the elements on the constrained face wind up.   Model attached. (which can't get much simpler) No forces applied. Only one enforced displacement constraint. everything linear.   small mpg attached for those who don't want to run a model.   Can someone point out the obvious mistake.   ThanksThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hallo zusammen,   ich habe eine 2D-DXF-Datei in Creo Elements/Direct ... eingelesen. Die Geometrien werden wie erwartet auch richtig auf der Annotation-Seite eingelesen.   Der Befehl "Kopieren" unter Geometrie läßt aber nur eine Rechteckauswahl zu. Damit würde ich aber zu viele Elemente nach 3D übertragen. Wie kann ich einzelne Elemente auswählen und nach 3D kopieren.   Das Aufsammeln von Elementen geht. Aber mit Strg (Control) C sind die Elemente nicht zu übertragen.   Gibt es da eine Anweisung die ich übersehen hab?   Mit Gruß WernerThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hallo Community,   leider funktioniert es nicht, dass die Exponentialfunktion, um eins nach oben verschoben, auf einem Zylinder abgebildet wird. Habt ihr Ideen dafür?

Hallo Zusammen   nach einem PC-Wechsel, hier wurde das Programm durch den Administrator offenbar nur "rübergezogen",l bekomme ich bei Programmstart von CREO-Elements Express den Hinweis dass ich keine gültige Lizenz hätte. Hab Programm schon zigfach deinstalliert und neu installiert, Einträge in der Registry entfernt und nach versteckten Programmdaten gesucht, nichts hilft.

Hello Community,   I'm trying to learn a CAD program so I can design an electric tractor.   I recently downloaded Creo Element/Direct Modeling Express 4.0 and started with the tutorials to get familiar with the commands and how to do this stuff. Things started off fine and I was able to manipulate my drawings in real time without any lag. After a couple of sessions I started having problems moving my parts around. When I tried to drag or view my part in a different angle everything went into slow motion mode with terrible lag. It makes it so I can't use this program...it's too frustrating!   So, It DID work and now it doesn't and I changed nothing on my computer.   Any hints to what may be the issue or has anybody else had the same problem?   I'm on a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium ( yeah I know, a friend gave me this computer so I can't complain ) SP2, with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ 2.10GHz, 2 GB RAM on a 32-bit operationg system. &n

In 2009 I bought the software "CoCreate 2008 Version 16.00D". In 2010 we got the new version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" from our support-contact at Switzerland - I never installed it on my PC. After 2010 we finished upgrade-contract because all features we needed from our CAD were available.   Today (21.01.204) I bought Win 8.1. I installed the newer version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" on my second PC*. I kept the fist one I'm having with Win XP and "CoCreate 2008 Version 16.00D" running on it. I wanted to have a Hardware-Backup because of my CAD from CoCreate (that has HW-License as I was told then).   * all the same hardware. No differences. I bought them together some years ago to have a "hardware backup system".   I try now to make run the newer version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" on my PC. The one with WinXP I kept without any changes to ensure that I have a fallback system. As already mentioned the hardware on the second PC is the same. I copied the file MEIs.conf from the path of th

I am having trouble with the display of Workplanes in my Creo/Elements Direct Modeling. It is as if a shadow or copy of the workplane is displayed along with it - the shadow can not be selected and is not a separate plane. I have tried changing all visibility-related settings in the 3D Object area, Viewport settings, Workplane Properties and Show settings as well. I can not get the duplicate to go away and it is very deceiving when modeling - especially since I normally work with many planes at the same time. The number of planes I am seeing is actually DOUBLE what I should be seeing. Does anyone know how to turn OFF this option, assuming that it IS optional?   Thanks, Korie Carter Tensor EngineeringThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi, I am working with the 3D Access and the built in render module. When I render something the resulting image is always way too dark. Any ideas why that might be? I attaches some pictures of the model. One in normal view, one with the lighting added to the scene, and one with the result of the render. I used the following lighting "light studio/object/high contrast/keylight, spot, 2 fill lights and back light" (might actually be named different. translated from german).
