Creo Modeling Questions

I am sure this has been asked to death.And I should know the answer to this by now.But I'm gonna ask again.Is there a way to get a circle centerline to show in Creo 3?I have been using cosmetics and hiding on layers.WayneF

One of the dumb things Creo does is display choices non-alphabetically.  This is probably best for some menu choices.  It is not for Filters and other areas.  I know we can define our own filters list which I prefer not to.  Can we get the Filters list to display alphabetically?

I have modelled this by measuring a badly worn gear from a piece of equipment, but I am not sure how best to go about finding a replacement. Does anyone know how to describe this gear?

How do i model a tube (left arm only) in two trajectories in one pass?  i got the left arm rotated in one direction (see 1st pic) but i also need to be rotated in another direction like  in pic 2 which i dont have. I had to split it in two sketches. I am sure there is a better way to model this. Any tips?1st pic:2nd pic     this is what i am getting.

Buongiorno a tutti, premetto che sono uno studente e non sono un esperto di creo,ho disegnato con creo parametric una staffa per la mia moto, e avevo pensato di realizzarla mediante taglio laser( online si trovano alcune aziende che realizzano i pezzi anche per privati). Per il taglio laser però è richiesto il formato dxf o dwg e nel convertire il mio file dal formato prt a quello dxf mi converte tutte le curve (di perimetro esterno o dei fori, che sono circonferenze) in delle linee spezzate, approssimando così tutte le circonferenze a dei poligoni. Ho provato a deselezionare il comando "sfaccettature" ma non cambia nulla. Siccome non avrei bisogno che la staffa venisse realizzata esattamente con delle curve e dei fori volevo chiedervi se sapete come risolvere il problema.Vi ringrazio della disponibilitàRiccardo

Hi all,I'm attempting to model a canted coil spring in WF4.0 but have only managed to model what is in effect a 'garter spring'. The difference being the coils of the canted spring are not perpendicular to the trajectory but are 'canted' over at an angle. These are sometimes referred to as 'Balseal' springs.Can anyone offer any help on this please?I've attached an image of the spring I've modelled as well as a photo of a true canted coil spring.Any help appreciated.Thanks.

When I create a new model and then go to change to a different view, Front, Right, Back, etc., all I have available to choose from is Standard Orientation and Default Orientation.Is there a setting I need to change?

Wenn ich Creo Parametric öffne erscheint immer eine Fehlermeldung in der steht:Creo Parametric wird heruntergefahren, weil der Qualitätsagent, der in dieser Ausgabe erforderlich ist, nicht ausgeführt werden kann.Wäre über eine Lösung sehr dankbar

What is the best way to assemble marbles of a given size into a container and determine how deep 100 marbles will fill it.  I have a nominal marble diameter, minimum diameter and a maximum diameter and need to measure all 3.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for ideas.

Is there syntax for having triangle flags added to text in a note?

I have Creo 4 installed and have looked at a few things but haven't yet been brave enough to lose reverting back to Creo 3 if things have gone south.For those brave enough to dive in how is the experience going?  Have you ran into any crippling bugs?From what I've seen so far it is looking somewhat promising.  I like some of the changes in the sketcher and I like the ability to extrude starting from somewhere besides the starting plane.

Hi all,I've got a pair of components in which we've modelled an involute spline explicitly, using an equation curve.The modelling approach is as follows:Generate one involute curve from the base circle up to a diameter beyond the final tip diameter:Extrude this, by Projecting it into a sketch, mirroring it, and adding a root fillet between the two flanks:The involute equation includes an offset angle, which generates the clearance between the two parts by effectively rotating the offset about the origin.  If I measure the angle between the two curves at any diameter, I get a constant angle, as I expect:However, when I measure between the actual solid geometry (and this is what our analyst noticed when running FEA), the angle is not constant, and the OD is closer than the ID:It appears to affect both flanks, regardless of whether it's the 'original' or mirrored side, so I don't think it's caused by the mirroring op.  A curvature analysis also suggests that the mirror is good,

Is it possible to make some points at 3D coord. by imported the coordinates data such as text or csv file? The Creo/Element Direct is our CAD .Thanks in advance for your advise.Best,Masa

Hello   I need to create the  auger that i have attached.  I can do the spiral and the straight piece going down the center of the spiral. But connecting the two is a problem If anyone can help that would bee great  I am using Creo3.0

I it possible to disable and enable a constraint using program.

Afternoon AllHaving fun modelling a pump volute! I have an example I have studied to understand how it is created and I'm following this with mostly success.However, I have never used the merge command before and this is where I run into problems.I have filled and merged the small area arrowed but when I fill and merge the large area the arrow is sat on the small section disappears!Any ideas?

Where can I find the list of M120 enhancements?

Creo 2, M230I'd like to turn off the highlighting of layer items when I select that layer.  For large data sets the highlight takes way too long and provides no real value.  Is this possible?

Hi AllI use Creo 2since choosing which dimensions  could be  strong and which ones weak is completely manual in Creo, untill it goes to conflict. I would like to know, if there is anyway to understand that my sketch is definitive ( like in solidworks) , cause I am used to that, and I complete the sketch to the point that all the lines are black and can not be modified by dragging them around

It has been a while since I used Creo 2.0.  What toggle do I need to turn on to enable an arrow with a flag note? 

Is there a way to call the Distance selection method when using a flexible parameter?

hello,i'm new in creo 4.0 .i did not find the cut out tools in creo parametric 4.0 .in creo 3.0 i found it in component operation.

Need to prevent a Spotlight from shining through solid components.  I have selected shadows but the light still shines through.  I even put a plate which has non transparency properties right in front of the spotlight and it shines through it onto other components behind the plate.  I have all other lighting (default, back, etc) turned off.
