Creo Elements Direct

Hello,my new laptop doesn't have an ethernet plug with its own Physical address, and depending on where I work I plug it into different docking stations which have an ethernet plug and their own physical address.I have a nodelock license, so which Host ID should I enter into the licensing page?Right now I'm at the office plugged into a docking station, and cmd-ipconfig shows my host id is 30-13-8B-EF-C2-A9.When I start the Creo installer it shows the same host id. So I get a license file for this host id, load the file in the License window, and I get a Not suitable error.I contacted PTC licensing support and the seem to be clueless on this issue, any ideas or possible solutions?Thank you!Guido 

Until now, as shown in the attached video it is possible to share several parts or assemblies from different owner in one owner only but not for in their owner...

Dear Creo-Team/Community,I'm currently trying to open Creo after some months. Creo asks for an activation key, which I've tried to created manually on the redirected creo.com website. Sadly it isn't working anymore. Can anyone please help?  

Hello Community!Can you help me? Which extensions does Elements/Direct Modeling Express read?

I use Creo Elements/Direct Drafting (Mixed UI). I want to turn on Part brower as the below picture to manage layout. Please guide me how to turn it. I appreciate your prompt response.

I just upgraded to 20.6.0.0.0.  Every time I load from Model Manager or from a local drive, Modeling does a part check.   I have assemblies with thousands of parts and this really takes a long time.  Is there a way of turning off the part check at load?   This is really not necessary since I create and saved the files and know they are good.  I manually run part checks when I think they are required.   Tom  

Hi guys, hope you all are doing well . Need guidance. Whenever I enter text in creo .sec file, the triangle border appears and I cannot remove it. And it shows even if I export that file into another format. Please guide me how to remove it. I am using creo 10.

Option CENTER_LINE is default when I dim circular in CED Drafting 20.7. Please guide me how to set up option NO_CENTER_LINE is default.    

To get the a part volume, in LISP we can use the function(sd-call-cmds(get_vol_prop ...Is there a way to have the total surface area of a part? I am using PTC Creo Direct Modellin v20.5.

Can somebody at PTC please have the common decency to advise us on the intentions of the License Server for Modeling Express 8. Either that ore release the product from this requirement.   Regards (but not expecting a reply from anyone in the know)    

Dear Team,When I am trying to install Creo Element direct modelling 20.7, I got this error. I know this is specific to Windows, but somehow I am not able to fix this, please help me. OS- Windows 11 HomeProcessor - AMD Ryzen 5 Note- In Windows 10 it works perfectly fine. 

How can I load a sketch via command line that is placed as a child of the frame?In my case I would like the "logo" sketch to be placed as a child of the "cart_A3" framethe command line command to load the sketch is:sd-am-load-sketch  I' have Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.5.1.0

Then I have assemblies with mechanism constrains, Creo wants to check out the components then I drag it.Are there any config options to set, or any things to do. So the components didn't get an update in the workspace?

Im working in teh Creo Elements/Direct 20.2.1.0 For example if a i have 50 threaded M6 holes and i want to change  all of them at the same time to partially threaded blind hole is it possible?  Thanks in advance

Good Morning, I have some difficulty with the English language. My company recently purchased a Creo 10 license. I was wondering if it is possible, and I hope so, to be able to convert parts of surfaces into a solid part by knowing the thickness. Thank you

Greetings! Is there a module/macro/expansion for Creo Elements Direct Modeling similar to the Toolbox in Solidworks? Currently, when I want to grab a fastener. I have to go to a webpage built by our organisation. Download a .sdexp file and drag that into Creo. And Creo loads it from the database. This works fine. But I'd much rather have an interface within Creo itself that has this functionality.  My previous post was about customising my toolbar. And since then I've familiarized myself a bit more with the LISP programming language and the Syntax used by Creo. I am not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination, but i do have some basic knowledge. So if there is no such module available. I would like to try my own hand at developing such an interface. Both to make something useful and to learn to program such a tool.  I downloaded a Pipe Measure Tool from the  http://osd.cad.de/ website. But I was not happy with how it functio

Hi - I'm a very fresh newbie so hopefully an easy question... I have generated some 2D geometry and want to export it to IGES (or STEP).When I go to File/Save I do not see the IGES or STEP option under file type - any ideas? An associated issue perhaps - the 2D geometry sits on the active workplane do these need to belong to a Part for export, and if so how? I'm using Direct Modelling Express 8.0 thanks

I have a file that has a long tree of features. One of the early features has a sketch geometry extrude. It has a pattern of three spots. I want to undo one of the three areas and select another pattern. How is this done? Right clicking on the feature or the sketch doesn't give me any options. 

Hello community members, This is my first post on this forum. So i hope this place is somewhat active.I have an issue where my assembly is loaded many meters away from the origin.I can fix my issue by moving the parts within the assembly to the origin.But then a more annoying problem arrises.Now my origin is correct when loading in the model. But when I go to create a view in my 2D drafting environment, my origin is now still at the original location.And my view becomes hard to allign to other views. So my question is: When and how is the model origin decided? And can I change this within an existing model that is saved in a database?

Im using Creo Elements Direct, when i press this part the cursor is not straight.Can i change this?    

Hello,  Is is possible to make a drawing in Creo 9 of an assembly made in Catia v5?  I'm making an component for a client. The component consists of two sheet metal plates that are cut and welded together and then applied a gasket. An assembly in Catia contains solids and surfaces that represent the plates and welding paths.  I modeled the components in Catia v5 r28 and the customer uses Creo 9.  The advantage of having it in creo would be that the client can open and edit the drawing directly. But I assume there is some loss in reliability and functionality when working across softwares like this. 

In previous years i could easily log into Creo Elements Direct Express 6.0.  But for the last year or so it is very haphazard, and only can be accomplished by accident.  I can ask for a new authorization, which does not usually work.  And somehow I obtain a temporary ability to log in.  it often says "cannot access internet connection".  But my Norton 360 firewall shows access allowed for this software.  Please,, how to correct this.  I'm guessing it has something to do with windows 10, or Norton 360 security.  

As per this topic   Having similar issue - I can get the 72 hour key, but I've had to do it for like 3 weekends straight now.  This is the longest run ever, in about 5 years of using this product I can only remember single weekend outages in the past.   Creo, gents! You offer a fantastic free use product here - but locking us out when the phone-home connection doesn't work for nearly a month is going to make me finally consider thems other guys I otherwise hate (Fusion, cough).  Please don't make me do that.   If keeping a license server active for a free product is too much of a drain, please consider a reasonable hobby-tier purchase! I'd be willing to pay a Benjamin or so for an annual, local license key.

I have been trying to install Creo 7.0 for a while, but keep getting a loading icon that disappears after a few seconds.I have tried running as administrator, disabling firewalls and antiviruses, and deleting all previous licenses and things off my computer (all at the same time). Does anyone have any insight?

HiWhen I create a section view in the drawing the hatch will create for regions that are not necessary and these regions are part of cut exclusions in standards. What should I do to prevent cut exclusions in drawing when I create a 2D draft and section view and prevent hatches on these regions?
