Creo Elements Direct

Asked a question that would make no sense to this community. Was not even related to CREO modeling. Had to do with a state condition that was easily resolved.

For those who prefer the Unix user interfaces (PELOOK 0 ou 1), a menu has been added. To be downloaded from http://kotom.eng.free.fr/                           

There are times, when in Annotation, the mini toolbar will appear, but pressing the buttons fails.  Normally, when hovering over a button, text will pop up giving a description of what the button does.  That does not even happen.  Does anybody else have this issue?   I wonder if I have something buried in my customization's that prevent it from working all of the time.   Thanks   Tom    

Does anybody knows what are the steps and which files generally Creo Element Drafting follow to start?Mainly I'm trying to have at the startup of the application the old original Black background in the Me10 style. Thanks!Marco  

Hi, How to add arc length symbol in the drawing as shown in red loop in the attached snap. Please explain step by step. (CREO ELEMENTS) Regards,Nidhin  

Is there a way to create a Variable Text Pattern? I have cosmetic text that I have patterend but I need to change each of the number values.For example, if I have an alpha-numerical text that's been pattered 3 times, such as TB1..TB1..TB1is there a way to change each number value to TB1..TB2..TB3?I can't seem to find a way to change the value of each pattern instance. Regards, -Cory R     

Hi,        I would like to know how a radial arc length dimension can be shown in a drawing view in creo elements also would like to know how circles or any isolated lines can be made hidden or removed from a main body surface in a drawing.   Thank you.            

Dear Administrator,Take steps to prevent me from posting about Creo, as it wastes time to translate and read.

Hello, I have a part which looks like this.  I need to create a drawing of this. On the drawing i have to have length of the wire. How can i create a length dimension of it's centerline that look's like dimension on following image.   

When displaying the DB Properties window some attributes cannot be seen well due to the text color. Some texts/attributes in the window are shown in grey color and the background color is almost similar.   Now we need to do a "Edit" to see the details clear instead of just look to the fields.

Is there an error on the website? - or has this product been withdrawn?All links saying download point to this page.https://www.ptc.com/en/products/creo/elements-direct/modeling-express There is no link to the installation package on that page. does the "free" restricted version still exist?

How do i get a license.conf file? All i can manage to get is lm text files.   

Hello all,        I'm trying to emboss text on a cylinder in Creo Elements Express.  I do the following:   1) Create cylinder 2) Create workplane parallel to cylinder face 3) "Modeling->Modify 2D->Text to Profile" the text onto the workplane 4) "3D Geometry->3D Curve->Wrap on Surf" the text onto the cylinder        ...At this point I can use "Modeling->Modify 3D->Pull" to emboss the text, but it embosses linearly, as opposed to embossing out relative to the surface of the cylinder.  I suspect I should be using "Modeling->Modify 3D->Offset", but I can't figure out which set of options (if any) can accomplish this.         Any ideas?         -BW

I have multiple closed sketches on a body. There are thousands of these sketches. I would like to create separate  parts or features from these closed loops . What would be the fastest way besides Creo Toolkit.

have a busy hole pattern, using Show Model Annotations I am adding the datum axes, but they are too big and overlapping. How do you change the size of when they are first added? (I know how to change them manually once they are added).

Hi All,I have change threaded hole dia standarts. Can I change?I have looked under sd_customize folder full path is "C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo Elements\Direct Modeling 20.5.1.0\personality\sd_customize\MachiningAdvisor" but I did not see all parameters.

I am finding that some edges on a simple rectilinear model will accept a round of say .125 radius on a 4 inch side, show the geometry but not remove the model material which would be gone if the round completed. I've tried starting with different simple models and it fails on some and not others. There may be a common origin of the trick edges like they are edges created by an extrude.  I haven't gotten to sorting this out. I've been running Creo and Pro/e for a very long time and have never encountered this before.   What would you look at assuming this isn't a bug?  

Hello to everybody, I need to import a 2D drawing (DWG format) with made with several "page".To achieve this result, I set ReadAllLayoutData ON and SideBySideLayoutView ON in DXFDWG.conf file. When I load the file start the conversion that requires a lot of time (in  the drawing there are some geometry but many texts).The file size is 71MB!In the end, all 'pages' are imported correctly but, surprisingly, all texts are converted into geometry!The texts in the original file are "text" not geometry. Any suggestions?Thanks in advance. I tried with ME10 20.5.1 and ME10 19 M070 with same result.

Hi all; When I want to save dwg file from annotation module, I am taking following error;"am_save_sheet_dwg/f2_core/unknown_error".  I need help, thank you very much   

Hi community, We have a drawing template for our company which looks like this. The BOM table and Revision table are currently part of the template itself.  Recently we released a new version of format. Upon changing the format to latest format for existing drawings some users faced some issue with Revision table (the lines of older table did not exactly match with new table). Post this problem now we are evaluating whether to keep BOM and Revision table as part of drawing template or add them as separate tables What is your opinion on this?How do other companies handle new format rollout? Any response would be appreciated Thanks in advance Regards,Prasad 

Ignore the comment annotations. Edge opens PDF fine and looks good. Adobe looks like this poor quality below. How would you describe this issue so I can google a solution? anyone know the fix to render right?

HELLO IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE AN UNDERLINED TEXT IN ANNOTATION AS ON WORD? THANK YOU EXEMPLE :  ESSAI

Hi, I am currently planning the transition to the latest Creo version for our NC programmers. With that we need to update our client hardware. Since I am not that familiar with Creo I was hoping somebody could give me some insights on the recommended hardware for our clients. e.g.- Intel i5 or Intel i7 CPU?- How much RAM is enough RAM (32GB)?- Do I need a dedicated GPU, if so is a T600 4GB sufficient or should I go for T1000 8GB? Thank you very much for your help.

How can I create a hole table in Creo Elements/Direct? I can't figure it out 😞 I'm a solid works user, so I'm flying blind.    

Hi,in version 20.1 I can install software in silent mode using (for example) this string for 2DAccess : ".\2D_CAD\2D_Access_x64\2DAccess.exe /s /v" /qb!
