Creo Modeling Questions

I have lettering made with sketcher and used as a palette to make raised lettering. Is there a way to make a font out of those sketches and just add the font to the list. Sure would make life easier. Any help would be great.

Looking for Creo 1.0.....

Does anyone know if there is a way to set up your File/Open to default in the "Seach" cell in the upper RH Corner? I tried creating a mapkey but it still doesn't stick in the cell. Note, I am using WF4.

I'm trying to create a relations in my model that is determined by whether it's metric or inch. I've been unable to find the parameter that reports if the model is metric or inch. I have a call into PTC, but they have not called me back, so I'm turning to the experts. Is there a parameter in the model that states the units of the model, if not is there a way to get that in other ways?Thanks in advance,Mike HeathCarpe Diem,"Happiness equals reality minus expectations"Michael HeathSchlumberger Reservoir Completions14910 Airline Rd.Rosharon, TX 77583

HelloHas anyone used this Graphics card?If you have what kind of experience haveyou had with WF4 & WF5ThanksJoe

Hi all, i have been trying to figure out how to write a relation without much success. I have a right angle triangle with an adjacent length of 212.57mm & an opposite length of 16.93mm, how do i write a relation to solve the tan angle value. I can calculate this on my calculator, 16.93 divided by 212.57 tan-1, but i can't figure out how to get tan-1.RegardsJohn

Wow, lot's of replies to this one. Thanks to everybody who replied. Here are the suggestions I got1) upgrade your NVIDIA driver to the newest one. - tried it, didn'twork2) Disable NView. - tried it, didn't work3) In the NVidia control panel, set "Multi-display/mixed-GPUacceleration" to "Multi-display performance mode" - it already was4) Perhaps using two monitors with the same resolution will resolve it?5) Perhaps using two identical monitors will resolve it.6) Get one big 30" screen! 7) Set open_draw_simp_rep_by_default to "NO" - already was (the senderadmitted this one was "from left field" and might not do anything, but ithad fixed some similar issues in the past😎 Upgrade to WF4 - some users had the issue in WF3 (which we're on) butit went away in WF4.9) It might just be an issue with the card - some of the NVidia cardsare great with one monitor, but don't handle two well. I think my solution will be to just live with it for now, and hope thatmaybe if we upgrade to WF4 or 5 someday

The picks for full (unfold) and full (aligned) are grayed out. I have a offset cross section that about a 170 degree pie slice.David HaighPhone: 925-424-3931Fax: 925-423-7496Lawrence Livermore National Lab7000 East Ave, L-362Livermore, CA 94550

Does anyone know how Pro calculates the drill and tapped depth of a hole? I am putting a M16 tap into a steel plate. A M16 x 1 gives a tapped depth of 36 and a drill depth of 45, M16 x 1.5 gives a tapped depth of 34.8 and a drill depth of 43.5 and a M16 x 2 gives a tapped depth of 33.6 and a drill depth of 42.Obviously there is a relation depending on the pitch used. With steel, a tapped depth of 1.5 x the nominal will work. How much more to add for the drill depth?WF4Thanks

Thanks to Dan; I'd just gotten the same answer from a coworker secondsbefore reading this reply. efefefefefefefApplied Research LabsUniversity of Texas at AustinCarol FlyMechanical Designer(512) 835-3397Fax (512) 835-3259efefefefefefef _____

I am new to pro/e, looking for books to purchase for learning this program.

I have a fast connection but I am still seeing an eight hour download time and have restarted think I had a bad connection the first time but still slow. Is there a CD or DVD available that I can get?I downloaded the 64bit edition before but it had a command line failure, so here I go again.

It sure would help if my resource center was working. When I click on help center, the mouse cursor changes to the busy icon and the program just hangs. In the tray, I get a nice circle with an X icon relling me that Help Center is running, but that's about it.If I double click the icon, it eventually brings up a browser with the default help page. Context Sensitive Help is therefore also useless.I paid for the eLearning Library 1 year subscription, and cannot log into that either.How do I get this working? What did I just pay $200 for?

Dear PTC,Why can't I log my calls online anymore?Regards

Hi all, i have been trying to figure out how to write a relation, but without success. I have a parameter P1 which has a string value of 2A. I am trying to make the diameter of a cylinder = 102mm if P1 = 2A, so how do i write this? I tried the following but it did not workIF(P1==2A)d233=102ENDIFI guess a string value cannot be used in a relation in this way.RegardsJohn

I have some diskless systems, that currently have ProductView installed in the image.I'd like to remove this from the image and install it on a mounted drive. This is how I have ProE installed.I'm wondering if anyone has done this and knows what paths I need to set to get this to work properly.When I search through the registry there are a lot of entries for pview.exeDavid HaighPhone: 925-424-3931Fax: 925-423-7496Lawrence Livermore National Lab7000 East Ave, L-362Livermore, CA 94550

Huh, sounds like it's not possible.  Goofy.  I'll just create ruledriven layers with the same names. Thanks, Doug Schaefer

I bought Wildfire 4.0 Student Addition. I am trying to use my sketcher palette so I can draw a polygon. When I bring up the palette its just a blank screen....any suggestions

Is there a way to log the wait time between actions when the clock window isshown? We are trying to figure come up with a gauge of how much time iswasted to waiting for the computer to do something.regards,Alfonso

How do I register this product ?Where do I get an activication key?

i have a flexible hose-pipe that is attached to a skeleton-frame that will rotate up to 90 degrees. in the flat position it a has a free length of roughly 600mm. when the arm is rotated it has a length of roughly 670mm (free length).i want to be able to run an analysis with the angle as the variable to drive the hose length change so that in the flat position it maintains the longest length needed from the rotated length (I have changed the hose section flex shape to a fixed length for the curve ).what is the best way to achieve this while maintaining tangency?I should also mention that the point to point hose length I'm talking about is from the fitting to the first clamp (hidden in these pictures).so if there is a way for pro-e to calculate what the longest length of the hose will be when rotated while in the flat position i would love to know.

How do you go about dimensioning a diameter on a detailed cross section for a cylindrical object?Thanks,-chris.
