Customization

1. Is there any way to clean up the MBD 3D annotations(Dimensions) in 3D model in the same way like a 'Dimension cleanup' command in Drawing/Detailing?Also, Looking for any equivalent API(toolkit) or an algorithm that can be used to automate it?2. Is there any snap line option in MBD as like in drawing/detailing in creo to do manually?If so, is there any config option in Creo like(~auto_center_dimension_mbd) to set in 3D model for MBD dimensions?We would be glad if you could provide as much as info on this or / any of the workaround that we can tried on this 3D dimension cleanup activity.

Could you recommend vendors offering Generative Piping design automation solutions for creating piping assemblies and drawings with minimal human intervention in Creo Parametric 4.0? Please provide details if anyone is using customized piping applications/extensions instead of the default Creo piping application.( Note : not default piping application & not spec driven piping method )

Is the J-Link library for the development of Creo Parametrics extensions still working and supported?

Currently I have implemented a solution that uses an API provided by AutoCad, which allows to execute it from the named application through a command, and whose objective is to read the code of the design that is being drawn and search for the necessary parameters in an Oracle database and embed this information in the drawing.From the use of the design software 'PTC - Creo', I seek to perform an analysis of the documentation given by the official services of the software to define the possibility of implementing a new App in the technology that is deemed appropriate to perform the same action as in AutoCad.

Is it possible to give show model annotations and enable all dimensions with snip line  through toolkit

Hi All, Is it possible to save the display state (hidden elements) without having to use "Save Status"? Thanks

When I need to pass the parameter description from Drawing to PTC_COMMON_NAME of Windchill 12.1.2.0 thre are two ways depend if thre is a part or assembly in the model of drawing:  PTC_COMMON_NAME:D= PTC_COMMON_NAME:0 for Part and  PTC_COMMON_NAME:D= PTC_COMMON_NAME:1 for Assembly. There are any condition for to know if is a part or assembly in the program after upload to Windchill? Thanks. P.D. I work in Creo 9.0.3.

I want to highlight overlap dimensions in drawing view..Is it possible through toolkit

Hello, I am trying to install Creo 10.0 student version but when it comes to the licensing part and I enter my credentials, it's "processing" for a while, then says Error. I have no idea what to do. Thanks for the help in advance!    

Dear PTC experiencer    I would like to know that "Are there some configure to set the value column as highlight red color in attached file to show in millimeter unit? "  Anyone who have experience about this. Kindly guide me how to set as my desire.   Thank you in advance.  James 

Hello everyone, I'm new to Creo and I am trying to figure out how to add objects to a Model.I tried to create a new Part file and add some 3D points (as an example) but I cannot see them in a Window. Also, the number of ModelItems didn't change.  Could you tell me, please, how to add new ModelItems?

Not sure if this is possible or not.... I would like import parameters from one system and automatically connect them to parameters of the same name within CREO.   My goal is to create a template part with parameters /relations stored in the model.  I would then like to push parameter values from another system into the model and get the model to react to the changes. Just curious if anyone has done this and if so, which API's did you use? Thanks

I have tried 2 methods：1.Componenet - Restructure。  2.Select Part，Right click，move to new assmbly However, I did not find the corresponding API for this functionality in PROTOOLKIT.

I work with 3 different clients all using the same version of CREO would there be any way when opening CREO select client and save the cache in a specific folder? today I use this way. ENV=PTC_WF_ROOT=D:\Cache\%USERNAME%\PTC\ProENGINEER\Wildfire\.wf

Hello, I am trying to create a mapkey that allows me to export a drawing as a PDF with the filename from a parameter I created. The parameter I created contains the part number and revision of the drawing being exported. However, when I copy the 'FILENAME' parameter, the mapkey appears to only copy the 'FILENAME' parameter from the original session. Is there any good way to copy a parameter from the active part while recording a mapkey? Thank you!Jeff H.

 

Dear all,  Currently I do make BOM by using a templated table in 2D environment. The quantity parameter is working just fine because this method counts how many parts of each do exist in the assembly.  However I also need the quantity in my individual part drawings and my struggle comes from this need. To tackle this issue I tryed to use the EMX BOM but is not suitable since I need to change a lot of parameters manually and everytime I update the BOM, most of them change automatically to the original ones. However the filling of the individual quantity parameter works just fine. My question is: Is there a possiblity to create a button to fill and update the individual part quantity parameter, only, in order to appear in the individual part 2D drawing? Thanks in advance.

Hello, Can anyone guide me to a tutorial about the ECAD setup for Creo.I am looking around in the CREO help section but that is far from clear and complete.I want to do some ecad setup things in creo4.0 environment but I get stuck.First off all the ptc help tutorial mention start a new assembly -> select the ECAD sub-typeHere I already run into the first issue the ECAD syb type is greyed out so not selectable. I already understood that there are some ecad assembly start parts and ecad start parts that I should fine tune with a set of parameters. So that is clear. But then the default template contains only 2 default parameters. So not much of an example. So a little guidance /tutorial would be welcome to clear out some questions like:How does creo knows a assembly is a ECAD assembly?The same question for the ecad partHoe do the parameters get translated into the IDF3.0  file?....

I am trying to get ModelCheck to check my Part Parameters for any empty parameters.I would like it to report an error and make the user fill in the parameters that are empty (this cannot be a list, it just needs something/anything in it) I want the engineers to fill out the Material, condition ect parameters.Can Modelcheck check these are not empty? Using Creo 7.0.8.0

How to create a simple dialouge box for creo toolkit using of c++ porgramming with visual studio 2019. Please explain me with source code

Hi, I'm using piece of code from UginterfaceExport.c located in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.5.0\Common Files\protoolkit\protk_appls\pt_userguide\ptu_interface\UgInterfaceExport.c. While building application I got below error,   Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol ProUtilWstrcpy referenced in function "int __cdecl UserNewShrinkwrapCreate(void)" (?UserNewShrinkwrapCreate@@YAHXZ)   Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol UserPromptUI referenced in function "int __cdecl UserNewShrinkwrapCreate(void)" (?UserNewShrinkwrapCreate@@YAHXZ)   What could be done to solve this? I explored similar questions in community portal and tried the solution, all didn't work.

Creo Parametric 7.0.11.0 and Creo Simulate 7.0.11.0 both are installed, I want to uninstall Simulate 7.0.11.0 only silently. I am using the below comment:Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 7.0.11.0\Simulate\bin\uninstall" -ArgumentList "-quite -xmlPath `"C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 7.0.11.0\Simulate\bin\pim\xml`"" But I am always getting the below option, but i want to directly uninstall creo simulate only with out user input  

Hello, I'm a newbie to toolkit programming. I'm exporting a shrinkwrap model through toolkit. I want to add a new name to exported model. Could anyone specify how can I acheve that? My requirement is, when I click a button in Creo, user prompt should ask for a new model name. Once I enter it should assign to new model name. Is it possible?
