Hello, I want to perform a forced conversion of Assembly to WAssembly in the asynchronous invocation mode. Currently, I am relying on the pfcasync.jar. I noticed that there is no WAssembly in it. What should I do?java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.ptc.pfc.Implementation.pfcAssembly$Assembly cannot be cast to class com.ptc.wfc.wfcAssembly.WAssembly (com.ptc.pfc.Implementation.pfcAssembly$Assembly and com.ptc.wfc.wfcAssembly.WAssembly are in unnamed module of loader 'app') at com.po.creo.service.impl.ConstraintServiceImpl.getModelData(ConstraintServiceImpl.java:77) ~[classes/:na] at com.po.creo.controller.ConstraintController.getModelData(ConstraintController.java:22) ~[classes/:na] at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DirectMethodHandleAccessor.invoke(DirectMethodHandleAccessor.java:103) ~[na:na] at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:580) ~[na:na] at org.springframework.web.method.support.InvocableHandlerMethod.doInvoke(InvocableHandlerMethod.java:258) ~[spring

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.3.0Subject: Creo 12.4 + Windchill: J-Link Model.Rename() always returns XToolkitCantModifyWe are migrating a Java J-Link workflow from Creo 6 to Creo 12.4 in a Windchill-linked environment.In Creo 12.4, Model.Rename(newName, false) fails consistently with XToolkitCantModify for both .asm and .drw.Isolated test (minimal):1. RetrieveModelWithOpts() on MAC_NEXTAIR_2.ASM and MAC_NEXTAIR_2.DRW2. CheckIsModifiable(false) => true3. CheckIsSaveAllowed(false) => true4. Model.Rename(...) => XToolkitCantModifyManual rename from Creo UI (same environment) works.We reviewed CS419079 / CS419066 about read-only policy since Creo 10, but our case is unclear because modifiable/save-allowed are true while J-Link rename still fails.Please confirm:1. Is J-Link Model.Rename() supported for Windchill-managed models in Creo 12.4?2. Is checkout mandatory for rename in this context?3. Is there a known difference between UI rename and J-Link rena

I've created a J-Link application, which has a swing GUI. On click of a UI command button, I'm creating a part files (simulating File--> New Part). The same thing when wanted to simulate through a swing GUI in synchronous mode, the GUI gets created, but when I push the button in the GUI, the GUI hangs. Can any one help me in making the swing GUI work with PROE?class MenuButtonListener extends DefaultUICommandActionListener { public void OnCommand() { try { //This works Session curSession = pfcGlobal.GetProESession(); Model tryModel = curSession.CreatePart("Testing"); tryModel.Display(); //This doesn't work //How to make it work csProe.StepToProeGui.createAndShowGUI(); } catch (Exception x) { STEP_TO_PROE.printMsg("something wrong: " + x); x.printStackTrace(); System.out.println("------------------------------------"); } }}

I am using Creo Pro/TOOLKIT (C++) to extract drawing dimension attachments.Observed behavior:When a dimension is attached to an edge or surface, all attachment APIs return valid results.When a dimension is attached to a cylindrical axis / hole centerline, none of the following APIs return that attachment:ProDimensionAttachmentsGetProDrawingDimAttachpointsGetProDrawingDimAttachpointsViewGetThis occurs for both linear and ordinate dimensions, even though the drawing visually shows the dimension referencing the cylinder axis.Questions:Is this behavior by design in Creo (i.e., axis stored as an implicit or drawing-only entity)?Is there any direct API to retrieve axis-based dimension attachments?If not, what are the recommended workarounds or best practices to catch attachments for dimensions with axis as attachments?Any guidance or confirmation would be appreciated.

HI, I'm new to CreoJS and it is the first time i meet this situation. In Feburary 2026 PTC introduced new important features for me. How can I update CreoJS without reinstalling whole Creo.    

 ComponentConstraint constraint = componentConstraints.get(i); Selection compRef = constraint.GetAssemblyReference(); Model model = compRef.GetSelModel(); Hello，During the development, I encountered that when the Model is an array, the assembly item model obtained from the constraint is not the correct array model. I used the above code to obtain the model according to the principle that the array parts indicated by the red arrow were obtained, but the source file indicated by the green arrow was obtained. Is there a way to get the parts of the array?

Hi all,I am building an automated drawing export system using Creo Toolkit (Creo 12, Windows, DLL architecture). PDF and DXF batch export are working perfectly via ProPDFExport and Pro2dExport. PLT export has been the blocker for 2+ days.What I have tried:1. ProPrintExecute — All three option getters succeed (status=0):ProPrintPrinterOptionsGet("postscript") ✅ProPrintMdlOptionsGet ✅ProPrintPlacementOptionsGet ✅But ProPrintExecute always returns -22 (PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT). Window ID from ProMdlWindowGet is confirmed valid (1001). Drawing is retrieved, displayed, window activated and set current before the call.2. cpbatch.exe — Cannot find it anywhere in our Creo 12 corporate installation:Parametric\bin\ — only parametric.exe and cocreatesim.exeCommon Files\x86e_win64\obj\ — not presentIs cpbatch.exe still shipped with Creo 12 or has it been removed?3. xtop.exe — Present in our installation. Has anyone used it for headless batch PLT export? What arguments does it accept?Environment:Creo Pa

Hello, I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.10.0.When we use a threaded hole feature fabrication needs some information.Thread size, thread depth etc.Using hole chart make this possible.But when we have a pattern of a threaded hole, we also want to see the number of holes.Because this is related to a feature ID i can't seem to figure out how to make this possible.In attached picture you can see what i tried.Does anyone have a solution for me? Thanks in advance. LD

Hello folks,   a colleague asked me if I knew a way to copy the name of a selected model tree element to the clipboard.Since I could not find an out-of-the-box solution, I developed a small tool for this purpose myself:"Copy Model Tree Element Name To Clipboard"Maybe someone else would like to use the tool.

Hey, I have a few mapkeys where I use the pause with the resume prompt/popup. (I've included a picture for clarity) There is no need to hit cancel but if you do click cancel instead of "Resume" it leaves you in an undesired state. The preferred fix would be to remove the "cancel" button entirely and only show "Resume". Is this possible and if so, how. I've tried modifying lines in the config file with no luck so far. Thanks!  

Hello there,As you can see , i am trying build a simple full asynchronous mode of toolkit application to connect to a running creo session, later i will try to fetch the component details. But as off now i am stuck with this errors  , can anyone help me. 1) I am not sure if i have included correct libraries in project settings.2) stuck in these errors is there any manual to dive deep to study on full asynchronous mode 

Hi @OliverGräbner I would like to create a fastener library compatible with the IFX module.First, I am trying to link an existing family table with the keyword FAMTABLE.To do this, I have created a .dat file, as shown belowSCREWTYPE 1UNIT MMSURFACE 49AXIS 82CBSCR DIN974-1 R1INFO <Screw_test>!Enter the name of the Family Table Part!---------------------------------------FAMPRT VIS_CHC_INOX_JYSYMBOL STRING DN LG B S DK K DG PINSTANCE STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P#FAMTAB M<DN> d4 d6 d15 d17 d5 d7 d16 @pas My family table contains several instances using an item code for each instance.When I launch IFX, the thread box remains empty and I cannot choose a screw size.I also get the following error message:No valid data foundDN Vis_chc_inox_jy.datI think I have a problem with the STRING box in my .dat file.I tried with a family table with two instances and simpler file names, but nothing changed.I looked at all the posts, but none of them answered my question.Could you

Hello,I work in Creo Parametric 12.4.1I want to make my .drw more helpfull, need to automaticaly create Hyperlinks to drawing no from the table of content. I have an assembly with 100 component, in Table>Repeat Region, first cell i have parameter &asm.mbr.ptc_common_nameThis parameter fill for all the position the drawing number.It is posible to create links to the server of all this files (they are in PDF format) and keep the drw no in the cells?I found this topic, but didn't find any solution to do it in Creo.  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Dynamic-Hyperlinks-in-drawing-and-as-result-updated/idi-p/456420

Hi everyone,I am working in Creo Parametric using Pro/Toolkit (classic C API).I am trying to programmatically apply a HALF section to an existing drawing view using:ProDrawingView2DSectionSet()The plane selection is done interactively using ProSelect(), and the selection succeeds.Here is the relevant code:Questions:Does the section name (sec_name_out) need to already exist in the model before calling ProDrawingView2DSectionSet?For HALF sections, does the plane selection need to be from the model window rather than the drawing?Is there any additional requirement (like creating the section definition first) before applying a half section?Does the view need to be a specific type (e.g., general view only)?Manually, I can create the half section using the same reference plane without any issue. But programmatically it is not accepting the plane.Any guidance on the correct workflow for creating or assigning a HALF section via Toolkit would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.ProSelection* sel_a

Hello. I'm trying to create a dimension pattern using C++ toolkit in Creo 8. First I created the pattern with the desired relation (MEMB_V=-LEAD_V) as shown in the image below. Then I created an element tree of the pattern and stored it in a xml file so I can use it as template for pattern element trees later. However the relation is not included in the element tree. Creating the pattern with the element tree has the "Define increment by relation" still ticked, but the Relations window is empty. When I check the xml file I can see that the row that should have the relation just has ** as value: <PRO_E_GENPAT_RELATION_EDIT type="pointer">**</PRO_E_GENPAT_RELATION_EDIT> I tried to create that element and assign the relation to it by using the create function for wfcElements. The Create function needs pfcArgValue as input, but there does not seem to be a way to assign a "pointer" type value to it. C Toolkit user guide  says to

Hello, We have one assembly drawing, and it has 4 components in part table. These 4 components are having multiple part numbers (Likewise family table A123Z_G (generic) A123Z01, A123Z02....A123Z150) Also it has variants like Different pipe size (0.5", 1", 1.5", 2" etc) Different weld type (like fillet, v-groove type, bevel etc.) material (Mild Steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum, Bronze etc.) By considering of these much of parameters and some more, we need to create one master data table in creo drawing which will be working by drop down option and the final output part table should be viewed  on main drawing sheet basis on selection of drop down filters. This is just like a complex excel sheet which has master data, drop down filters and one output tab which shows the exact result based on drop down selection. Do we incorporate the master tables, Drop down tables and Output tables in Creo drawing?

Hi everyone,I’m working with Creo 11 and trying to use the APIs ProDrawingViewDetailCreate and ProDrawingViewPartialVisibleAreaGet, both of which require a ref_point of type ProSelection. I’m facing consistent “bad input” errors and would appreciate any guidance from someone who has successfully implemented these.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Method 1: Programmatic datum point creationCreated a datum point → SuccessUsed ProPointInit → SuccessConverted using ProPointToGeomitem and Modelitem APIs → SuccessAttempted ProSelectionAlloc() → Failed to return a valid ProSelectionMethod 2: Manual selection approachCreated a datum pointSelected the point using ProSelection → SuccessPassed this selection to ProDrawingViewDetailCreate & ProDrawingViewPartialVisibleAreaGet → Both failed with “bad inputs”Method 3: Drawing entity approachCreated a point in the drawing using ProDtlEntityCreateUsed ProSelectionAlloc() → SuccessPassed it to ProDrawingViewDetailCreate & ProDrawingViewPartialVisib

Hello all,   I have a mapkey (ex) that opens the windows explorer in the working directory. I have recently switched to directory opus as an alternative explorer. I would like to make a macro that launches directory opus in the working directory. Do you know how I could achieve that ? How would you do ? Thanks.

Hello all,Anyone aware of any protoolkit api functions to update dimensions into the cad model and regenerate it. FYKI, i have fetched dimension from cad active model using dimension visit api call and saved into a text file already. 

Hello, I am able to load a cad part or cad assembly from windchill to creo parametric, but would it be possible to load the related cad part from a windchill wtpart with the creo OTK? Or is it possible to use windchill methods in the java code for parametric? Thx

Goal: One drawing format which will populate specific data and not matter if the drawing model is a single part or an assembly. Using a repeat region I am trying to pass model material along with a few other items into a title block.  I can successfully make this happen byUsing 2 different formats so the repeat region calls outmbr/ptc_material/ptc_material_nameasm/mbr/ptc_material/ptc_material_nameUsing 1 format, but making all drawing models assemblies so that the item 2 always is present.Is there a way to use repeat region relations in order to have a single format with a repeat region which works if the drawing model is a part or an assembly?  I'm not sure if it is even possible, or if I simply am having an issue with syntax and formatting.

Hello, is there any possibility to read files from network drives? try { print(readFileAsString("\\\\10.170.84.24\\Standard\\ProE_standard\\Relace\\Relace PRT.txt")); } catch (e) { print("FAILED: " + e); }  I need to read fresh relations so all models actual relations. The only one place in our company provides relations is network drive.
