Customization

I'm trying to create a mapkey that renames my features with an identifier from it's own dimension.For exampleRound 1, which has a radius of 5mm gets names to "R5"Hole 1 with a diameter of 10 gets renamed to "ø10"M6 hole gets renamed to "M6" Because of Creo, every featurename has to be unique even though it has a unique feature ID. So to do that I would like to add the feature ID or feature number (Any unique identifier for that specific feature) behind the name.So Round 1 with feature ID 3864 becomes "R5 (id3864)". Even better would be to make the text invisible using invisible characters but that might be too much to ask. So far I've tried everything but I can't find a way to let the mapkey copy the value of the feature or anything from the feature information window. Rounds don't even have parameters I could try to use. Things to note: We don't have OTK or Jlink and we don't use Round Sets for unrelated reasons, so the Round feature always has the same feature informat

How to show datum axis in drawing views. I have axis in part I want to show in the drawing views. how to show the axis by C# using VB Api.please Share if there is Any Idea.

Hello Everyone, I am facing a problem with 'Dimension Cleanup' in drawing using the VB API.I am fetching dimensions from the 3D Model and placing them in the drawing using the VB API. However, these dimensions are placed in random positions on the drawing, so I need to clean them up and move them to the correct positions for the particular view.Please share if you have any ideas.   

   int* ids = nullptr; ProArrayAlloc(1, sizeof(int*), 1, (ProArray*)&ids); ProArraySizeSet((ProArray*)&ids, 1); ids[0] = 40; int wHandle; if (ProWindowCurrentGet(&wHandle) == ProError::PRO_TK_NO_ERROR) { ProMdl handle; if (ProWindowMdlGet(wHandle, &handle) == ProError::PRO_TK_NO_ERROR && handle != 0) { ProMdl prdMdl; ProMdlLoad((wchar_t*)L"prtpath", PRO_MDL_UNUSED, PRO_B_FALSE, &prdMdl); //the function can't work on asm->prt //asm->prt is work ProAssemblyAutointerchange(ProMdlToAssembly(handle), ids, prdMdl); } } ProArrayFree((ProArray*)&ids);​  

i want to relate symbol with view by using C# and VB api. any one know solution give me a help.

I have a part that I have set up with a gyroid lattice, but when I export it as a .IGES, only the shell of the part is exported. For background:The formula driven lattices do not create a solid geometry feature like the other lattice types, this means that it cannot be export (also means it is not included in any analysis like volume or weight). I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a solid geometry out of a formula driven lattice or if there was a way to export it regardless. I am using the student version of creo 9.0.

Hi Everyone,I just started to learn pro toolkit. I have a doubt in the function ProFamtableInstanceVisit. In this function can I get a working code for ProFamtableInstanceAction and ProFamtableInstanceFilter?I am trying to retrieve family table instances, for this, I need a working example code for ProFamtableInstanceVisit.

I am using the Creo Parametric 5.0.0.0I am using the ProTK Toolkit APIS to get the information from the model.I have a PVZ model where it looks like this model has facets data and no surfaces in it.To get the geometry data from the surface we use ProSolidSurfaceVisit which gives a call back to user defined function with surface as argument. I am trying to get the Facet data by using the ProSolidFacetsetVisit API, I am getting the call into the call back function with the facets set information and app data information.Can anyone help me to get the geometry data out of this facets set,Its better if I get a sample code fetch the geometry data within the callback function from Facets. I have attached the sample model PVZ part file. Thanks and regards.

Hello, I have installed Creo 8 and choose to also install the c++ and java toolkit. When the installation is done, when I go to:   C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 8.0.1.0\Common Files\otk\otk_java, I dont have the library files, I have only the  otk_java_examples ,which have all the example files. But for  the c++ toolkit folder, C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 8.0.1.0\Common Files\otk\otk_cpp, I have all the library file and code examples..Did I miss a step for the Java toolkit installation ?? Thank you

 Dear friends, How to create new csys at "Top_assy.asm" , which same location and orientation of "A" csys, but it should be reference with "Main" csys, not "A" csys. PS:  "A" csys & "Main" csys, reference handle already with me Thanks. 

Hello, I want to generate a square Image of 1000x1000 pixel from Creo Rendering. Currently the images generated are in Rectangular format (500x1000).Also is there a way to change drawing window size width through config file ?  Thanks in Advance…..

Hello, We have an application in Java to check, before saving a model in CREO, if a higher version of the model exists, preventing saving in case it exists. It works for the active model. But if the active model is an assembly, and if a component has been modified, when saving the assembly, it checks the assembly’s version, but doesn’t control the versions of the components. I would like to know how to control the components’ versions. This is what we use for the model: import com.ptc.pfc.pfcGlobal.pfcGlobal;import com.ptc.pfc.pfcModel.Model;import com.ptc.pfc.pfcSession.Session;Session curSession = pfcGlobal.GetProESession();Model model = curSession.GetCurrentModel(); Best regards,Amaia

In my company, we developed a plugin for Creo Parametric 9.0 using the C++ object toolkit. The plugin consists in a .dll that is compiled with Visual Studio 2022, with dependencies linked statically. The .dll works synchronously. Between developers, we tried to distribute internally the .dll after compilation. But if the .dll is used in a different machine from the one it was compiled in, Creo crashes with EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE_EXCEPTION. I'm attaching the traceback. log with the name of our plugin replaced with "<OUR_PLUGIN_NAME>". My question is:is it possible to distribute a .dll between machines, if all of them have the OTK installed, within the same license server? Is it possible between different licenses?

I am using Creo 8.0.7.0 and extracting information for creo .asm, .prt files usinf wbmff.wbmff generates the rename.csv file list basically these files get renamed over OS level not by using creo. I have gone through the Article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS212774?source=search Is there any way to update the rename.csv listed Files using JLInk or some other tool.     Model opening properly in Creo for reported renamed files but when i extract the information using wbmff it reports files get renamed.    Is there any way to handle this scenario by some code or utility i have around 700 files reported in rename.csv.

Greetings everyone, Allow me to introduce myself to this vibrant community! My name is Amitabh Mukherjee, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this group. With an extensive background in multi-CAD customization spanning across various platforms like NXOpen, CATIA V5 .NET, CAA V5, Inventor, and SolidWorks API, I've recently embarked on a new journey diving into Creo Customization using Object Toolkit (C++) with Creo 10.0.As I delve deeper into this exciting realm, I need some guidance and insights from the community members here. Here are a few areas where I could use a helping hand: Navigating the Creo API Object Model: I'm eager to explore the vast landscape of Creo's API object model.

Hello, we're looking into integrating with Soldiworks PDM and was told we need the API Toolkit. Searching around I found different versions ranging from free to paid and in different languages. Has anyone gone through an integration like this and know if the free version of the Toolkit is suitable or do we need to purchase.   Thank you in advance!

Dear friends, I created a new csys which I want to redefine the reference. ProFeatureReferenceEdit needs old & new references in form of array. but I have only one old and new reference.  Any possibility to convert one reference to array format? Any suggestions are welcome status = ProFeatureCreate(input_destmdlSel, pro_e_feature_tree, opts, 1, &feature, &errors);status = ProElementFree(&pro_e_feature_tree);status = ProFeatureReferenceEdit((ProSolid)newmdl, &feature, &cSysRef, &cSysRef_2, PRO_REGEN_FORCE_REGEN);

Hi, I'm new to Toolkit development, I'm using Creo Parametric 8I'm developing a feature where to check Solid part with certain name say "X" already in an assembly if not I'm creating new part with API ProAsmcompMdlnameCreateCopy().Problem is whenever there is part of with same name "X"(which is not assembled) in session or Current working directory it throws me an error PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR (-1).I explored found API ProSessionMdlList() to get all model in session. This may be partially solves the problem.Using loop I can avoid creating new part.But I don't know how to check in Current working directory or any other specified location.Please help me out.If there is any better way for this problem, I highly appreciate it. Thanks, in advance!  

Hi everyone, we wanna develop a function whitch would auto create a dimension to represent the length of specific edge in drawing mode. I found a few descriptions in web.link user guide.   "The method pfcEmptyDimensionSense.Create() creates a newdimension sense associated with the type DIMSENSE NONE. The sense field isset to Type In this case no information such as location or direction is needed todescribe the attachment points. For example, if there is a single attachment whichis a straight line, the dimension is the length of the straight line."   There comes two question. First, is there supported API to get every edge's length so we could make comparison to find out the longest edge. Second, if we could find the longest one, is there some snipped code could be refereced  to really build up the dimesion like below ?      

Hello , when I open Creo , Folder browser is opened in another window but I want it docked to Creo as per below image.
