Creo Modeling Questions

That just forces the new old method of handing problems. Pro/E stoppedfailing every time a reference was missing long ago, sometime aroundWF1, maybe earlier. Since then, if it can find a suitable replacementreference, it will with only a passing mention in the message area. Ifyou pay attention you may see 'original reference not found, usingalternate' or something similar, but they flick by so quickly you maymiss it. With WF5, features that actually fail to regenerate at all can beignored. I can see where this can be useful while working through aproblem, but dangerous if not dealt with properly. Haven't had aproject on Wf5 yet to experience it firsthand. Doug Schaefer

Hello, Im new to building but I have gotten a little ways with the robot I am building, but just noticed that I am building it with the orientation off. I have the back view as the left side of the robot standing up 90 degrees from the floor.Meaning:Front = Right side, Standing up 90 degreesLeft = BottomRight = Top.So on...Is there a way to reorient the robot?

Anyone know how to set a layer status to ISOLATE in WF 4.0 M170 x64?I see HIDE and UNHIDE, but no ISOLATE. I am sure I must be overlooking it. I rarely use this option but now that I want to use it, I can't seem to find it.Thanks!

Hello PTC Development,Is there any forward visibility of the functionality to appear/change in CREO 2.0?Are there any plans to implement finite friction at all?ThanksCharles

Dear Pro/mfg Gurus, In the customize tab I am inserting manually the following command.INSERT/G5 P10000The selected option in cl command is Current.In the customize tab the additional command appears as following:

Can't remember how to do it... seniors' brain fade.Anyone remember how, using WF2?Thanks in advance. Jeff Dayman

Anyone know if there is a way from the ProE File Open menu to see all versions of files in the local cache?If you're not in the context of PDMLink you get this menu:[cid:image003.jpg@01CC6D31.4F7D5260]But when you look at your workspace the All Versions pick is grayed out.The thing is, all the versions are there in the cache. I can copy the lid_* files to another directory and run the rename program on them and then pick an older version of a file. Just had to do this yesterday afternoon. Works well but is a bit painful.David HaighPhone: 925-424-3931Fax: 925-423-7496Lawrence Livermore National Lab7000 East Ave, L-362Livermore, CA 94550

I have a MSI X58M. It supports two seperate video cards and monitors. I have it setup this way. Everything works except when I open another window of pro engineer. It does not allow me to zoom, rotate etc... How can I configure this to work correctly?

Used to be an option in PTCsetup to direct Pro to look on a network sharefor the Help files.not there now. Can you still do this? Thanks in advance, Gavin B. Rumble, PESolid Engineering336-224-2312

I am using ProE WF5 in a country in which I do not speak the language. But everything in ProE is in English. Except for the Help! I need to figure out how to do something (ie use Help), but I not only can I not read how to do what I need to do, I also cannot read how to change the language setting!Can anyone help me out with this?Everything is the correct language except for the Help. But I'm helpless without Help in the correct language

Hi. Is there a free student download of creo parametric 1.0? I can't seem to find it. Thanks!

We used to use 3d notes display to toggle on the hole notes when convenient. This option seems to have disappeared in Creo parametric 1.0. How do you turn on/off the hole notes?[cid:944273621@29082011-35E4]Regards,Bill ChapmanSencon

CAM Gurus,I was just made aware of this issue by my users. The CUTCOM_REGISTER is not output in the CL data in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0. If you are aware of this issue, how are you working arround it? Currently we are hand editing code. Suggestions? Regards,Michael BraatenSenior PLM/CAX Systems Analyst - Synthes, Inc.

I am preparing to deploy CE Pro 5 M070.Installing and configuring the 64-bit version worked fine.However, after installing the 32-bit version, there's a problem (Windows XP).When launching, nothing is displayed at all.The trail file isa created and contains only:Error loading font file font.ndxCannot initialize message system; index file msgtxt.ndx not found.Exception - code was -1073741787.Any ideas?Gerry

Hi all,Any Idea on how to make the hole a different color depending on the thread size automatically?This will make checking that we use the right fastner when using fine thread a lot easier.Nicolas

I cannot get a transparency event to show up on my timeline. I have the event name, I pick the component, I set the time after start I want it to happen, I click apply...nothing.Any clues?

Question, If you take a model and set up constraints in FEM mode shouldn'tyou be able to open it later and run analysis on it?-- Ron RichStaff Mechanical EngineerKeithley Instruments28775 Aurora Rd.Solon, OH 44139PH. 440-498-2842

The Powers That Be around here have asked me to look at SpaceClaim; I'm notsure if they mean as a complement to or a replacement for Pro/E (we'recurrently on WF3). Do any of you out there have any experience with it?What are it's strengths/weaknesses vis a vis Pro/E? Would we be better offsimply going up to Creo Parametric (with the understanding that that alsomeans moving to Windchill from Ilink 3.4)? Your input is appreciated.Thanks. -- Lyle BeidlerMGS Inc178 Muddy Creek Church RdDenver PA 17517717-336-7528 Fax 717-336-0514 <">mailto:-> - <">http://www.mgsincorporated.com>

I currently was giving a shrink wrap file of pro-e 4.0 and try to open zip with a bunch of assemblys and parts missing.Any Direction Please.Thanks,Josh

Is it available for download? We are in maintenance for ProE (Creo) but the new version of creo (Creo 1.0) is not in my download list. Do I need to call PTC or how you guys download this version?CC

In a multi monitor setup is there a way to get pro e to open on the nonprimary display? One of my users is complaining that he has to move hiswindow every time it opens.-- Ron RichStaff Mechanical EngineerKeithley Instruments28775 Aurora Rd.Solon, OH 44139PH. 440-498-2842

Hi Dear...Good Wishes....I'm using Pro-E WF-5..Some standard (model)components i'm using for various projects with out changing any dimensions....so every time i'm taking back up to that different project folders...because of this my disk space is very low now.when assembling i want take from standard parts folder... How to create a parts library in Pro-E WF-5...???

Unfortunately we are running Inventor and SolidWorks in addition to our tool of choice Pro/E WF5.0 and PDMLink 9.1. I know...I know... just don't ask. The other MCAD users are requesting to have their files published to ProductView as we have the Pro/E files for ProductView and PDMLink.The question is are any of you doing this type of other MCAD publishing? If you are, how is working for you, what were the costs? Include any other information you may have on the subject.Thanks for you help.John M. ScrantonSenior DesignerUltra USSI4578 E.

Not to be totally clueless, but the search turned up ZIP. Why the change?I have known Pro/E since 1990. What is CREO & WHY?jeff
