I am having some trouble with tapping some parts. I am normally quite comfortable with threadmilling, but have done very little tapping because I am typically threading bigger holes. I am trying to tap a set of 10mm-1.5 pitch and 8mm-1.25 pitch holes. The holes go all the way through a 1" thick part which I would estimate to be around 38 HRc. The holes were predrilled to .335" (8.5mm) and .265" (6.75mm).The posted tapping code for the 10mm-1.5 comes out like this:T7M6T8S60M3G0X1.2303Y-2.1309G43Z3.H7G84X1.2303Y-2.1309Z-1.1787R.025P2000F90.We tried to run it and the machine alarmed out and the tap broke. I am not sure what the Feed Rate of 90 is there for at the end of the G84 line. Does anyone see anything amiss or know of a tapping tutorial I could look at to see if there is something I am doing wrong? It seems pretty straight forward. The only other thing I've tapped in 3 years was a 1/4-20 in cast aluminum. That went fine, but it probably wouldn't have matter how fast that was going

Even though the company I work for uses Solidworks, I was a Pro/Engineer (4.0) user for many years. I would like to keep my skills current with CREO.Any good video tutorials (FREE or NOT) for beginners? I know YouTube has a few, but I am looking for something a little more detailed.Thanks!-ArtThis message (including any attachments) contains confidential and/or proprietary information intended only for the addressee.

PTC University Expert Model Analysis 2.1 was released on January 5, 2015.   This release includes many improvements related to scanning and the report's exported Excel spreadsheet.   What’s new in XMA 2.1:   Scanning Improvements Eliminate special cases of skipped models Previously there was a workaround of adding configuration options “multiple_skeletons_allowed yes” and “display_ie8_warning_dialog no” to the “<Creo Load Point>\Common Files\<datecode>\text\config.sup” file in order to avoid some models from being skipped. This workaround of adding options to the config.sup is no longer required. Additional capturing and saving of various log files to aide in debugging scans Additional feedback is given when scanning complex models The additional feedback in XMA 2.1 is more frequent so you have confidence the scan is progressing as it should Export the MD5 sum of each file scanned The MD5 sum provides an alternative identifier for a model’s file.&n

Good Afternoon! I have spent the last 8 years using SolidWorks but after moving to Seattle with my husband I find I need to expand my software knowledge. I have decided that I would like to learn PTC Creo Parametric. I am hoping to get a book that will allow me to get a good grasp of the software during the 30 day trial period. Does anyone have a suggestion for an excellent book possibly with related online lectures?   I am looking at Creo(TM) Parametric 3.0 by Louis Gary Lamit (http://smile.amazon.com/Creo-Parametric-Louis-Gary-Lamit/dp/1305253183/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420578589&sr=8-1&keywords=PTC+Creo+Parametric) but it is hard to tell by the Amazon description if this would be a good book for my puposes.   Thanks for any help you can give me. I am excited to get started but am going to wait to download until I have a book to allow me the most time with the program.   Cherise

When attending a PTC University training class, students typically receive a printed guide that covers all the content of the course. It’s likely that this is the case with most other software vendors’ training classes, too – the traditional printed manual is pretty established. However, the question is: how many students really use them after the conclusion of the class? You might have taken notes during the class and want to reference those notes once you are back at your desk. But ask yourself, when you sit at your computer and a question comes up, do you go to your bookshelf, take out the manual, and flip through the pages? Anyone who has attended one of our classes before knows that these books can be quite large. I mean, really large. Some are more than 500 pages, so it may not be easy to find a specific note you took during the training session. Now imagine you would like to discuss this with a colleague – you lift this heavy and bulky guide out off the shelf and walk down the h

This message popped up in my Twitter stream yesterday morning and I felt compelled to write up an answer immediately...   Edward Ricardo Braithwaite (born June 27, 1920), a novelist, writer, teacher, and diplomat, is best known for his stories of social conditions and racial discrimination. In this context, the quote makes perfect sense. Of course, we are result-oriented people and as long as we acquire the knowledge we need to accomplish a task, we shouldn’t worry about the teacher’s ethnicity, social background, upbringing or anything.   However, if we port this quote into our context of product development professionals and software training, I think there are a few more things to take into consideration about picking your teacher.   The goal for any training engagement is to get from state A – being  “unaware” (or untrained) to state B – being an “informed” (trained) person. We would like to make this metamorphosis efficiently too, that is we would like to reach

I was, and possibly still am an accredited Creo trainer based in Norfolk, UK. Since the pre-summer changes, of which I only heard secondhand despite being listed on the PTC Academic site as a trainer, it is very difficult to know if PTC considers the UK as a viable academic user of Creo. It would be nice to receive some info from PTC and therefore feel part of the PTC Academic community again.

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to come up with a blog post full of horror and scary stuff – don't you agree? Well, I decided to talk about zombies this year.   This is an adequate topic for our blog for two reasons:      1. The Walking Dead are on TV again (yay!)     2. Zombies actually have a connection to Training… (really?) Well, to be honest, this article is not about walkers and some handsome heroes fighting them for survival, but about a different species: the Workplace Zombie. What is a Workplace Zombie?Here is a short definition in my own words: A workplace zombie is an unmotivated person that strolls around the office with little or no productive output. It is infectious as this unmotivated air is likely to spread to other colleagues, thus threatening the organization. I think the analogy hits the nail. I also think, we should be looking into some reasons why people turn into workplace zombies. Here are a couple of assu

As I sit here in my Creo training class, making a drawing, I create an auxiliary view, no problem. I'd REALLY like to crop that view... and I'm at a road block. I've typed 'creo crop view' in the forum search, and checked my book index. I just can't seem to find anything related to cropping a view in Creo. What am I missing?I have gone back to my model, looking for somethign to do there (like I need to do for a section View), but again... I'm stuck. A little help please... If I can't crop a view, please just give me the painful news quickly Thanks!

I have been asked to show someone how to use Pro/E and, especially, Creo View. So I thought I would use the free tutorials in the Learning Exchange. Problem is, they refer to certain files (chainsaw_220, for example). I can't see anywhere on the PTC website where I can download these files.Any ideas?  Thanks,  John

I didn't find cabling template in template folder,but I read the cabling tutorial,it utilizes a template called "MM_KG_SEC_ASSY.ASM",so is this template some special compared with other templates?Can I use other design template instead?

I'm watching a video in Learning Connector. When I try to "follow along" in Creo, Leaning Connector stops the video I'm watching and replaces it with suggest topics related to the items I'm selecting in Creo. I want to watch the video, pause and follow along. Is there any way to toggle off or break that intuative association? While I appriate Learning Connector trying to anticipate my questions it is decidedly unhelpful in this action and overall, a silly waste of bandwidth.   Is there a way to break, toggle or pause Learning Connector's active link to the Creo session?

Hi fellows,I want to make a structural analysis for the snap fit hooks. I found a very useful video on the ptc page:http://learningexchange.ptc.com/tutorial/3547/defining-contact-faces-with-finite-frictionCould anybody share with me this files? The video doesn't contain detailed description...Regards: Gyorgy

With the success of the PLM Center, Purdue University has expanded its footprint within PLM professional education. Purdue has joined forces with PTC and earned the distinction as a PTC University Authorized Training Partner (ATP). As an ATP, Purdue University’s PLM-centric professional development program leverages the PTC University eLearning platform to build their own courses on model-based definition, product data, and configuration management—all based on PTC solutions. The courses offered to students as part of Purdue University’s ATP affiliation also include PTC University’s solution-based curriculum for engineering professionals. We caught up with Dr. Nathan Hartman (pictured to the right), Professor of Computer Graphics Technology and Director of the PLM Center at Purdue University for a quick Q & A:   [PTC] Why did Purdue University decide to become an ATP?   [Hartman] The PLM Center at Purdue decided to become an ATP after lengthy discussions with Alister Fras

© 2008 Adam Tinworth, Flickr | CC-BY-ND  | via Wylio I just ran into this quote from one famous teacher in recent history, Amos Bronson Alcott: "Our bravest and best lessons are not learned through success, but through misadventure."   No doubt this hits the point and I am sure all of you have learned from a misadventure at one time or another. Lessons learned from life can be tough sometimes, but they will teach you something you will certainly never forget.   For software training as well as any other learning exercise in your professional life, you might not want to go this route, though.   Making mistakes in business – especially in our world of product development – can be costly. Mistakes cost you precious time when you are already under pressure to bring a product to market in time or have to meet a tight project deadline. If you need to do something and you cannot figure out the best way of doing it, mistakes can cost you patience. In the worst case, they

Anyone else seeing this?

Only 250 Characters allowed on the surveyfor the question "What is the most Challenging aspect of using PTC TechSupport"? SoI am heard,I am posting my first non-culled response before being told a character limit existed.The India call center solution you guys implemented 20 yearsago is about the same now as it was then, marginal at best. Academic trainingon the software is only one aspect of support. The intelligence of all theMasters of Engineering Techs has never been in question. In fact, you guys shotyourselves in the foot and head when you believed without an AdvancedEngineering degree, the support would be insufficient. You were wrong then andfrom my recent tech support call, it sounds the same holds true? I do not knowif you still require the Academically Brilliant need only apply but if that istrue...big mistake. The fact they posses very little actual real worldengineering experience results in Tech's reading scripted answers. The otherissue is the language and accents are ch

I've been gradually working through all 118 Creo skill quesitons. I have found two that keep getting points taken off, but I just can't find a way to fix them. For example, the 4th surfacing question that uses q3193_geometry.prt. I get the feedback - The feature id $cor_feat_id; cannot be resumed in the user-submitted model.   While I can resume the feature in my model, this appears to be an issue in the grading.    

any buddy define the relation between rope and wires, any video tutorial?
