Creo Modeling Questions

Anyone know when Creo Parametric 1.0 M020 will be available ? Brad

I have downloaded several screws/washers etc from the pro/library and when I save the file they appear as a single item yet when I open these in Creo I am prompted to select which type/size I require. My question is how are these parts created and is it possible to edit/create my own versions? How would I go about this?

Hi all...I would like to know if it is possible to get the wildfire 5 toolbars into creo 1? Using the tabs takes a really long time to adjust to it! There is no customize screen option under tools as was the case with wildfire 5! Any halp would be much appreciated...Regards

I'm running out of storage space on my workstation and am wondering IF there are FEA file types that could be erased without damaging the ability to view the results of the analysis? I'm thinking probably not, or maybe not of any considerable size, but thought I would ask...Thanks in advance...Paul KorenkiewiczFEV, Inc.4554 GlenmeadeAuburn Hills, MI., 48326

Anybody have any good custom metal textures they'd be willing to share? I'm using WF 4.0. I was using WF 5.0 at my last company and if I remember right they had a handful of metal textures such as brass, gold, brushed aluminum....etc. I was wondering if anybody has a custom palette they'd be willing to share?

We are running Windchill/PDMLink 9.0m050 on Windows 32bit servers. Management has asked for a hardware plan to support an upgrade to Windchill/PDMLink 10.0m020 early next year. We are on Wildfire 4 m150, but moving to a newer build of WF4 is easy to get done. We would then look at upgrading to Creo after the WC10 upgrade.My concern is new hardware across the board that is not compatible with what we run today. With new hardware needed and WC10 needing a 64bit OS, it becomes an upgrade/rehost to get back up. I know PTC says to do one or the other first, then the second, but the hardware/OS change says I can't get there from here without doing 2 or even 3 upgrades.Has anyone done a upgrade/rehost from 9m050 to 10 with also going from 32bit to 64bit servers?Thank you,Ben H.

We have an issue where certain truetype fonts will publish and others will not. These are .ttf type files. An example would be Arial.ttf will publish and Arial Black.ttf will not. Any ideas?

I'm designing a pivoting clamp arm in proE using links and pivots,has anyone seen a way to calculate output force through a series of mechanical links and pivots, knowing the links sizes and angles plus the input cylinder force? I'm trying to achieve the best mechanical advantage, rather than disadvantage at the end of the stroke.

All too often, Pro/E WF5 won't let me quickly select what I want. I can choose "geometry" and sometimes "surfaces" and "curves" but not "faces" or "edges", which I needs just as often. I'm forced to either cycle through all kinds of geometry or use the old "pick from list". I just want the very basic ability to filter sensible things, more specific than "geometry". Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how to do it if so?Thanks

Hw to use Trail.txt fileto restore model?

I use rules in Outlook 2010 (and did in Outlook 2003 as well) and when amessage is moved to a folder with a rule, I don't get a notification atall. I have notifications on, and only get them for things that end upactually in my inbox. I have rules that filter probably over 75% of mymail to other folders so it really keeps the notifications down.

Does anybody know of a tool or method for turning Pro/E models into verylightweight 3D DXF files? By lightweight I mean reduced polygon countalong with leaving out the insides.Thank you,Margi S KorchPrincipal Mechanical EngineerInformation TechnologyMechanical Engineering SolutionsMissile SystemsRaytheon Company+1 520.545.6097 (office)+1 520.203.4444 (cell)-6221 S Palo Verde RdTucson, AZ 85706-5093 USAwww.raytheon.comThis message contains information that may be confidential and privileged.Unless you are the addressee (or authorized to receive mail for theaddressee), you should not use, copy or disclose to anyone this message orany information contained in this message.

Pre-selection highlighting appeared to be shaded in green in creo1. How do I turn it back to wireframe highlighting as it was to wildfire 4.0?

Hello,I know this is not exactly a Pro-E question, but does anyone know where I can find a vendor that stocks off-the-shelf miniature shock absorbing damper? I have thought about using visco-elastic foam, but I would prefer to slow the object (~ 1/2 lb) to a stop over a controlled free-fall of about a six inch distance if possible. The foam is my back-up option, but the controlled free fall would be less as I would need to use thinner foam.Specifically, I am looking for an inexpensive plastic damper ($5 range), and did not see any on McMaster-Carr.Regards,Chris Thompson

I have posted a thread on the Etc forum that fits somewhere between the CAD and Etc forums. I guess more on Etc.But, if you are interested check it out. If not...apologies for the intrusion.

Hi all!Just started to use WF 5 in earnest and love the new C2 rounds. However... I have NOT been able to add draft to any surfaces that touch a C2 round. If I change the round type to a normal arc, the draft now works fine. (imagine a 5-sided box with a round on each of the interior vertical wall intersections)Why is this?
