Customization

Dear teacher, hello:How to use Jlink to develop and obtain entity features in pattern? Features such as ID number 87,120,121 in the red box of the attached image. I tried using Features GetPattern cannot be obtained. Can a teacher help me answer this? 

Hi All, I'm currently using Creo 10 and am interested in improving how I detail standard holes, In the past I have put a lot of work into the .hol files and had some success with making this work, but I have a problem where the parameters used by the hol files do not pull through the tolerance for that size,  I think I have to move to building ISO style hole callouts using &d dimension callouts in a note or lead dimension. Does anyone have experience or access to a toolkit module that can help tie up the &d values for a hole, the info > feature dimensions seems to do this, but it doesn't tie up to any description or repeatable convention I can see, and there's no description link like what the Feature Element Data or "local parameters" table provide for the hole sizes, but not dim ref's. Many thanks in advance Dave.

Hi, I have certain questions pl. help me in finding solutions 1) How to know whether the installed creo is installed with VB API ( means it supports VB files) 2) I want to create or the modify the part dimensions through VBA (excel) to easily modify the part without doing it manually ( means opening the part and editing the dimensions) will it be possible? if yes if anybody has small example(program or the part running through VBA) it would be great for understanding 3) I want replace the part in assembly using VBA will it be possible to do?   Any positive response are welcomed   Regards, Shubham

Creo 9.0.6.0Dear PTC team, I want to figure out how to customize Ribbon via Creo TOOLKIT. To do it I launch an example from Creo 9.0.6.0\Common Files\otk\otk_cpp\x86e_win64\obj called otk_install.zip. When the auxiliary application is active I see that the Ribbon has changed and have a new group (20250228_screenshot_1.png). To save Customized Ribbon I follow the next steps from the User's guide:1. Go to File -> Options -> Options2. In "Creo Parametric Options" window go to Ribbon press Export->Save Auxiliary Application user interface. Then I check resulting toolkitribbonui.rbn (attached) or creo_parametric_customization.ui (depends on Export option) and can read nothing cause the encoding is incorrect.It seems strange cause initial file otk_install_test.rbn is readable. What 's interesting is that if I try to import Ribbon from the creo_parametric_customization.ui file, it works seamlessly, which makes me think

I want to create a menu bad and a menu button in creo 8.0 using visual studio 2022, i tried to create with " ProMenubarMenuAdd" but in help file it says its depreciated, is there anyone who could help me with this.

Hi, I’m new to my company, and we use Creo 9.0. Previously, I worked with SolidWorks and developed some useful VB tools there. Now, I’d like to replicate that for Creo.One task I’m trying to accomplish is verifying whether all parts have the correct parameters. I’ve created a VB.NET code to:Generate a drawing template and use the repeat region to collect all the parameters in parts within an assembly.Export the table to a CSV file so I can analyze it in Excel.However, I’m encountering an issue when exporting the table to CSV. The problem is that not all models have the same parameters. When I use the repeat region to generate the table, some cells are empty. Whenever my VB program encounters these empty cells, it stops running.I believe the issue is related to data types. The VB API seems to handle only text formats (stringseq), but when it encounters an empty cell or a cell containing a real number, the program throws an error.Does anyone have a solution for handling different data ty

We are having the same issue: We want to export all of Creo's assembly parts as individual *stp files with a specific coordinate system, with a specific name that is not the "default". We are looking for a way to do it with a mapkey after opening the assembly. Do you know if this could be possible? if so, can you point us to the right direction?   Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/STEP-export-with-custom-coordinate-system-as-origin-in-WEB-Link/m-p/993730

Hi I want to add variable text to a custom symbol programmatically.

Hi there, can we se right click radial menu shortcut keys (like the solidworks) in creo? If yes can you please teach me!! RegardsMani

I recently solved a problem I had in J-Link that could be of interest to others.I wanted to use a library as part of my J-Link program. The library is org.netbeans.swing.outline . My program uses somewhere deep down the class ETable, which has an initialization that uses a resourcebundle for localization. Specifically it sets up a field for a sting that directly loads a resource Bundle.properties.private String selectVisibleColumnsLabel = java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle("org/netbeans/swing/etable/Bundle").getString("LBL_SelectVisibleColumns"); At first this gave me an error,java.util.MissingResourceExceptionbecause it could not find the resource. The library itself loaded fine, as I have been repackaging my jar to include all libraries. (Not the best practice, but easier than adding many libraries to the protk.dat) Using Creo 8.0.8.0 and Java 11.

Creo 10 C++ OTK  Situation is like that: I want to give the enduser possibility of select csys and highlight specific points which are refering to that csys. I can see all points attached to given csys thrugh the reference virewer. How can I achive this via API?In other words - user cliks cysy and some points (of curve) becomes highlighted 🙂 Many thanks! 

I need to extract named coordinate system and its values from cad assembly. I know there are methods available in creoparametric toolkit. But it become inefficience considering number of cad and size of cad. Is there a possible way to extract the details from published light weight binary files (OL).Saw some methods in Creoview toolkit 

Hello, I need to open STEP file in creo using VB API.Can you kindly help me with the code to import STP in creo. Thanks in advance.

Hello,I can’t hide the DTM anymore. Does anybody know how to change that?Parametric doesn’t display the option to do that. Even with CTRL+H it isn’t possible.It is just an issue in Assembly and in the Start model. If I create a new ASM model which is empty, then it works. There must be an option or something.

Hi, When loading the index file file in Firefox (version 134.0.1):///<Creo 11 install.>/Common%20Files/protoolkit/protkdoc/manual0/loadApiWizard.html The tree section loads, but selecting any link on the tree does not bring up the page in the main window, it only leaves it blank: I am able to open to open a link in a new tab which works fine (but only opens the function page, so the tree is gone)It has previously worked.It also works in Edge and Chrome. Obviously not a major concern, but quite inconvenient. I wonder if anyone has experienced this also or know how to resolve? Thanks

HelloI would like to know if it is possible to leave CREO with two languages, when it opens I can select which one I want.

Hello PTC Community,I hope this message finds you well.I am working on a project where I need to generate a list of all components and datum planes via WebLink. The list should have three columns:Column 1: Component name /Datum Plane nameColumn 2: All available featureIDs for each component (I have attempted this with pwlMdlFeaturesGet but haven't been successful)Column 3: Identification of whether it is a datum plane, prt, or asm Here is my current code:<script language="JavaScript"> try { if (pfcIsMozilla()) netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect"); wpwl = pfcGetScript (); document.pwl = wpwl; wpwlc = wpwl.GetPWLConstants (); document.pwlc = wpwlc; wpwlf = wpwl.GetPWLFeatureConstants (); document.pwlf = wpwlf; } catch (err) { alert ("Exception caught: "+pfcGetExceptionType (err)); } function WlModelGetBOM() { var table = document.getElementById("bomTable"); table.innerHTML = ""; // Clear previous content var ret = document

What is the fiel format of a CREO part file? Binary? I am lookign at extracting the values associated with user-defined parameters defined in a CREO part. Maybe using CREOSON (just gathering info at the moment) ThanksJohn

Hi I want to attach an existing symbol(.sym) to a dimension in the drawing file. I need a c# or a c++ code to do this activity. Thanks in Advance 

Hi,I want to know if it is possible to create a "Default Envelope Rep" that excludes internal components and I can solidify using JLink?   and I want to set quality also 

Hello all, I want to know how to define ProAsmComppath used in ProSelectionAlloc for a feature in skeleton used in assembly. I have feature ID for skeleton as 98 and in this skeleton I have a feature whose path I want to add has feature ID 3560.  I saw in knowledge hub mentioned the method as {98,3560}. But when I try in ProSelectionAlloc to mention this way. It shows error How do I mention correct path in ProSelectionAlloc ().  Thank You.      

I am trying to do a cable parameters export and then import the file back. Even though I try to import the exact same file back, the ProInputFileRead-call crashes Creo without error code. The whole of Creo just dies with a fatal error popup.  I have tried to import the same file manually in the Cable Parameters window using and that works fine. ProError fileExportStatus = ProOutputFileMdlnameWrite(mdl, L"cable.cbl", PRO_CABLE_PARAMS_FILE, globalHarness, (ProAppData)wideString_c, NULL, NULL); ProError fileImportStatus = ProInputFileRead(mdl, L"cable.cbl", PRO_CABLE_PARAMS_FILE, globalHarness, (ProAppData)wideString_c, NULL, NULL);

Hi all, Greetings!I need to automate export part/asm to STEP format with different options OR through different profile files in Creo. I checked Mapkey does not work. Anybody suggests how to do it? OR any API or batch files that can solve/work.

I can change the View in the Searchbox (File -> Open) of Parametric. So its possible to show also attributes instead of just the name. If i close Parametric and open the Searchbox again, Parametric will run with the default UI of the Searchbox and will show me just the Name again.   How can i save this Setting. I tried it by saving the Customization_ui but it didnt work.   Is it possible? If yes how can i save the setting?  

Hello,in a toolkit application I need to know if an edge is an inner or an outer edge.In the attachment I have an example what I mean with inner and outer edge.What I have up to now:I use visit functions to get all the edges in the part model. A function to determine if the edge is "inner" or "outer" seems not to exist (I found none). But there is the function ProEdgeNeighborsGet(), which has the two surfaces for every edge as an output parameter. Is ist possible to get the inner/outer information with this two surfaces? Or is there another procedure to get the information.Any help would be appreciated.regards HP
