So far i have set a menu placeholder for my application on the interface (see attached) using the "Customize screen" but i can only map those applications/commands which came with the tool (OOTB).

Very good suggestions – all. However I would still look at simply making the phone call to PTC (if you can afford the maintenance).

I know PTC has a new name for enhancement requests and I know there is a place for it somewhere in the black hole that is the PTC Communities web site but I'll be d@mned if i can find it. So I'm turning to the real source of PTC info and asking where in he!! do I submit an ehancement request to PTC these days?What I want to suggest is to be able to right click on a folder in the "Common Folders" area of the file browser and have the option to make it the active folder. I see no other use for the "Common Folders" area what so ever. Maybe it has some use for those with PDM systems but to those of us still working strictly from a folder system, I always shange the working directory to where my files are before doing anything else.I would also like to be able to take "Desktop" and "Computer" and "My Documents" off the "Common Folders" area because those are not places I would ever want to open or save a CAD file. But that is a battle for another day.PTC quality philosophy: We've upped our

i've attached a picture, the bottom pipe is on a different plane angled at 10 degrees from the plane the top pipe is on.I am trying to either create a joint between the two or, better yet, make the two pipes one.The problem i have is that any joint i try to put on these pipes either does absolutely nothing or creates a strange pipe which would not be able to actually be welded together.Any help on this would be gratefully received

Does anyone know of a way to assign a double quote to a string parameter via relations? I can manually create a new parameter and add a double quote to it, but not programmatically.My current workaround is to manually create a parameter with a value of " and then use this parameter any time I need a double quote character.DBL_QUOTE = " (manually created - doesn't work in a relation)STRING_PARAM = DBL_QUOTE + "BLAH BLAH BLAH" + DBL_QUOTEYes, I NEED the double quote in the final string. The ASCII value (34) is critical.Thanks!Tom U.

Is there a way to automagically add a parameter when exporting a ProductView file from Pro/E (WF5)? I've looked through the recipe editor, but have had no luck. Ideally, I would like that parameter to have a string valuethat is alreadypopulated.Thanks!Joshua Houser(have I talked to you about FIRST robotics yet?)Pelco by Schneider ElectricMCAD Range Technical Officer

Everyone,We could use some advice regarding what other companies, particularly those in consumer electronics, are using for accuracy values in Creo. We've been using relative accuracy as a default, and of course that comes with a lot of issues. We're exploring values for absolute accuracy, and we thought to reach out to the community to hear your experiences. We've heard that Motorola, for example, uses 0.003 mm. Can anyone share what you're using and successes and failures from your approach? Thanks in advance.David R. Martin IISenior CAD Application SpecialistAmazon
