Customization

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140we are trying to create a ordinate dimension but the problem is the dimension is not created from the actual witness line, is there any possible way to move the witness line using Protoolkit.

Is it possible to import datum points  in Creo model  stored  in .pts format file using Creo Toolkit C++ Programming. Which functions and libraries can be used to import it. TIA.

The Creo Parametric software is multi-cad. Which extensions does it open natively?Is there a document that shows this?

Hello,The following PTC article details how to obtain references from Annotation elements,https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS289474However this only is viable for annotation references of the type: PRO_ANNOT_REF_SINGLE: /*---------------------------------------------------------------------*\ get the references for the AE \*---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ status = ProAnnotationelemReferencesCollect(&elem, PRO_ANNOTATION_REF_ALL, PRO_ANNOT_REF_FROM_ALL, &ann_ref); int num_refs; status = ProArraySizeGet(ann_ref,&num_refs); for (int i = 0;i < num_refs;i++)//all references of selected item { if (ann_ref[i].type != PRO_ANNOT_REF_SINGLE) continue; //proceed this loop only if the single reference is NOT a PRO_ANNOT_REF_CRV_COLLECTION or PRO_ANNOT_REF_SRF_COLLECTIONHow could the surface ID's be obtained for type PRO_ANNOT_REF_SRF_COLLECTION (or even PRO_ANNOT_REF_CRV_COLLECTION )?Thank you.

Please no snark.  I struggle finding useful info on creo forums. I have done my due diligence.  We have a C size drawing that the left and bottom margins are off the page.  I have struggled with how to even ask this question.  I am aware there are differences between format and template, but I don't know where to start.  I just want to "rightsize" our C drawing template to export with correct margins, not offset as they are now.

Hello,  Since a week, my Creo display is with wide spacing between lines. (see the document in attachment) Do you have an answer how to get back to normal space? Thanks,Luc

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.01. how to understand toolkit api ProDrawingViewOutlineGet ?This API returns the result ProPoint3d outline [2], why can this result describe the outline of this view?2.how to confirm notes inside drawing boundary ?

@ChrisG I did what all you said until the end in topic. There is no protk.dat file to reference under the "Configurations files read." Do I just create a .dat file like the original commenter did or how do I go about this?

I'm trying to follow the directions, from:https://www.mathworks.com/help/smlink/ref/linking-and-unlinking-simmechanics-link-software-with-proengineer.html So I can access the toolkit and simulate my assembly in Simulink, but I can't seem to find the protk.dat file the website mentions.  I looked in the configuration files that PTC Creo is running and the protk.dat file wasn't there either. I attached a screenshot below. How should I go about this?

So I wrote a java program to read some tables. However now I want it tomodify the tables to add text and parameters to specific tables using afunction like in the manual. like this: writeTextInCell (theTable, 5, 2, "REV"); (for text writeTextInCell (theTable, 5, 3, "&asm.mbr.PROI_REVISION"); (forthe parameter)In the end, I run the script, a window pops up expecting me to click on atable, I click on the table, two extra columns are added and the bottomcolumn is merged. However I get no text.Anyone knows how to add text to a cell??thanksregardsAlfonsoHere are the important parts on this complete breakfast: currentModel = (Model2D) model; tables = currentModel.ListTables(); TableCell cell1,cell2; Table theTable = null; String cellName; SelectionOptions selops=null; Selections sel = null; selops = pfcSelect.SelectionOptions_Create("dwg_table"); selops.SetMaxNumSels(new Integer(1)); sel = session.Select(selops,null); sel.get(0).UnHighlight(); theTable = (Table)sel.get(0).GetSelItem(); w

Has anyone had luck with table.settext?  For me it's breaking and a try/catch isn't throwing the error message.  The table is generating up to this point.I know it's breaking because if I moved the mergeregion after the settext, that doesn't work, and the rest of my code isn't running either.Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks! var dwgTable = drawing.CreateTable (tabinstrs); var topLeft = pfcCreate ("pfcTableCell").Create (1, 1); var bottomRight = pfcCreate ("pfcTableCell").Create (1, 5); dwgTable.MergeRegion (topLeft, bottomRight, null); try { dwgTable.SetText(1, 1 , "CONN NAME PART NUMBER"); } catch (err) {   alert("Error setting text in table cell"); }

Dear PTC Community,I am currently trying to obtain a selected driving dimension from the selection buffer in my Creo session. My current approach is to start by getting the current selection buffer: pfcSession_ptr _session = pfcGetProESession(); pfcSelectionBuffer_ptr selBuffer = _session->GetCurrentSelectionBuffer(); Then, I list and iterate over the selected items and filter out all selected annotation elements: pfcSelections_ptr currentSelections = selBuffer->GetContents(); size_t sizeSelection = currentSelections->getarraysize(); for (xint i = 0; i < sizeSelection; i++) { pfcSelection_ptr selection = currentSelections->get(i); pfcModelItem_ptr item = selection->GetSelItem(); if (item->GetType() == pfcITEM_ANNOTATION_ELEM) { wfcAnnotationElement_ptr anno = wfcAnnotationElement::cast(item); wfcAnnotationType annoType = anno->GetAnnotationType(); if (annoType == wfcANNOTATION_DIMENSION) { [...] } } } However, in line 10 where I call

I'm trying to change the Text tool in the sketcher so that a certain font and alignment is used every time. I can create a mapkey, but if I continue to make a second text item the settings go back to the default. Is there a way to change this? I didn't see any options in the config editor.

Hello,If possible get  "COMPONENT INTERFACE"  information from a 3D model?I get the feature by use FeatureType.FEATTYPE_COMP_INTERFACE);and find this feature is implement the interface "WFeature".But I don`t find the the class for this "COMPONENT INTERFACE" feature .Would you know how to get these information? 

Need to take the reference of the feature PIPE_SET_START and PIPE_TO_POINT in the tube.asm in C# code to automate the CREO.      In the above picture I was take the reference of the PIPE_SET_START feature using edit reference icon. I was filter this feature using the type. now need to take that reference of the feature by C# code or any macro.

Where ist the default location of Creo Parametric while it´s connected to windchill?When i search it in Creo itself it shows me that path: wtws://XYZ/DEFAULT Creo/But this path cannot be found in the explorer. I am trying to find the local workspace in my explorer.

Need to take the reference of the feature PIPE_SET_START and PIPE_TO_POINT in the tube.asm in VB API  to automate the CREO.      In the above picture I was take the reference of the PIPE_SET_START feature using edit reference icon. I was filter this feature using the type. now need to take that reference of the feature by VB API or any macro.

Hello everyone, I cannot for the life of me find a way to use custom symbols I created. I created a symbol using "define symbol", but when I go to use it in "symbol", it is not there. At my last company, I was able to select "custom symbol", but it's not giving me that option here. Thank you in advance.  

How to construct ProIDTable for the assembly component I got throgh ProSolidFeatVisit api. Need assembly component path for the collected part file. ProIDTable id_table = {Array[0].id} works for the part file collected from the top level. If the required part file present inside a subassembly, this logic fails. Tried getting asm comppath typecasting ProFeature* Array to Proselection as below, didn't work. ProSelectionAsmcomppathGet((ProSelection)&Array[0], &compPath). Any ideas please?
