Creo Elements Direct

I don´t know how or from where I can download creo direct for student. I tried download creo 10.0 because I believe I could choose creo direct version in installation phase, but only parametric version is available.      

Hello,for many years I'm using Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 6.0. Some weeksago I installed Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 8.0 on my Windows 7 pro.Once Creo Elements 8.0 is runnung with a opened pk2-file and I want to add anotherpk2-file from the Microsoft Explorer by clicking on it, then Creo Elements 8.0 thepk2-file opens in a new instance and a second prozess is runnig.Is there any setting for Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 8.0 in which thisbehaviour can be changed?

Hi guys,when I open the help center in modelling Express, the program opens in automatic on "Internet Explorer" like the picture below.This browser is not my main preference. There is a possible to change it.Thanks in advanced 

Can anyone tell me how to upgrade my Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express? I had been running the free version on a laptop that I replaced and when I loaded Express on the new laptop I got version 8.0. The old laptop has 6.0. I occasionally run the old laptop in my shop to check a model and can't share a model between them due to the difference in versions.

Are any Creo Elements/Direct users out there familiar with PTC's long term plans for the software? Today I learned that CSI is discontinuing its line of Model Manager add-on products. We have been using their AnyDocs add-on for years. This, plus the fact that PTC has been developing Creo for awhile now, has me concerned that Creo Elements/Direct will not be supported for much longer. My biggest concern is not having to find a new CAD software, its the potential of losing our Model Manager database full of attributes, links, etc.  Does anyone have any experience with migrating a Manager Server to another database solution? If so, how successful was it? Also, what other CAD and database solutions are worth looking at? Thanks in advance! -Dan

Is it possible in annotation to convert the symbols created as BOM position indicator into texts?Because in this way they are not editable after having created them on the drawing, not even as characteristics!

Hello,Does anyone have an idea in which dimensioning type or standard this dimensioning frame is used ?In Modeling and Drafting it is called FLAG in English In German in Modeling it is called "Markierung", in Drafting "Schild".     Text can also be marked with this frame, there it is clear to me. Thanks in advance. Friedhelm    

Hello,i have some issues with the dialog "anim_create_animation". For some reason i can not delete the selected object-list.

For those who prefer the ribbon user interfaces (PELOOK 4), a tab has been added. I had included two xml files, one English, one French. Because I do not know how to localise.I tried po and mo files at various location with BINDTEXTDOMAIN, but that did not work.Can anyone help? To be downloaded from http://kotom.eng.free.fr/ 

Hi All,in the "Creo Elements/Direct Drafting DWG/DXF Translator" manual (dxfdwg.pdf), its mentioned in the appendix "Hints and Tips for Translating MI to DXF/DWG" on page 65: “A dimension with a superfix, subfix or prefix is translated into geometry.” Does this apply to a radius like “R5" as well, or are there other ways to convert radii and diameters to a dimension  when exporting mi to dwg? Useful Hints will be highly appreciated! 

Creo Direct 20.5.1.0For a deeper error analysis in ME10 CAD-files (file extension *.mi) we are looking for a file specification in which the individual components, especially the dimensions and tolerance segments (DTV) and the structure of an mi file, are described in more detail. Where can we find such a mi file reference/specification?  

 It is very difficult to enter every countersunk or counterbored hole dimensions one by one. Preselection of this holes can make our work very fast and easy and reliable.

Hi,   I'm looking to make Ref as qty  for the part number by using repeat region or relations in parametric table - in the following below cases. 1. Standalone 2 different assemblies in one parametric table 2.Fig assemblies consist of 2 or more instance assembly in one parametric table.   Please respond if you find a solution.       

The German table contains a specification of the standard in the name, the English table does not.This regularly causes discussions. 

Hello, When trying to open a pdf from windchill on the embedded browser on Creo 5, I receive this error I tried following this article where this was solved Article - CS271042 - Downloading attachment of CAD document from Creo embedded chromium browser fails (ptc.com), however I do not have the Windchill Shell installed on my system. I require the embedded browser to be set to chromium_browser, otherwise other tools will not work. Is there any other known solution to this issue?  Thank you,Mark    

Multi-sheet capabilities are available in all other 2D Drafting Tools like AutoCAD, Creo Elements Direct Drafting should also get this capability at the earliest. It is a very basic requirement for any 2D Drafting Tool. Moreover it is already there in Creo Element Direct Modeling Tool, So it just has to be extended to Creo Elements Direct Drafting Tool.

Greetings In the classic interfaces mouse + tablet (-pelook 1), you can paste a "text" that is in the Windows clipboard by pressing the middle mouse button/wheel in the text line or in the Me10 editor.Is there another way to do this pasting? Reason: We (still) use the tablet, there this is particularly awkward. That means after you have selected and copied the text and are back in ME10, select the desired action with the pen; then put the pen away ; take mouse and position cursor at desired place, press middle mouse button/wheel to paste; put mouse away and then take pen again to continue working..So I'm was looking for something like an INQ-query (which unfortunately doesn't exist) that I could put into a macro and trigger from the tablet or keyboard.Is it somehow possible to write the clipboard content to a file that can be accessed with OPEN_INFILE ? I am currently doing this in a macro:PASTE_FROM_CLIPBOARD NOSUBPART Specifying a point where there is nothing else.What is then found

I have a project stored in my Model Manager installation (models and drawings).   I have to send my project to my customer that is also using Creo Direct/Modeling but without Model Manager.   Is there a quick way to export model and drawings in a single zip file? The task is easy for the 3d-model, but I don't find the way to automatically collect all drawings related to this design.
