for MBD files i’ve made revisions after that i need to clear the notes like {5}, so that is their any way to clear them, i tired by mapkeys or modelcheck but couldn’t get exact way..Pls let me know any possible scenorios Thanks in advance 

Hi,Does anyone know how I can change the default window size in Creo?Let me explain better: when I run the command View >>> Windows >>> Default Size,the window shrinks like this.Is there a way to get the screenshot at the maximum screen size or a larger size?Thanks!P.S. I’m using Creo 12.4.3.0

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Creo Toolkit (Pro/Toolkit) application and need to create a mirror feature programmatically.According to the official PTC documentation, the element `PRO_E_MIRROR_REF_ITEMS` expects references of the following types:- PRO_CURVE- PRO_COMP_CRV- PRO_AXIS- PRO_QUILT- PRO_PARTNotably, `PRO_FEATURE` is NOT included in this list. My questions:1. Is there a way to mirror a feature directly via `PRO_E_MIRROR_REF_ITEMS` (i.e., passing a `PRO_FEATURE` reference)?2. If not, what is the correct/best practice for mirroring a feature through Toolkit?Thank you in advance for any insights or code examples.

I want the reference line for a section view to extend out of an orthogonal view less than it does here, by default. Is there a .dtl setting for that?

To allIf one has user parameter say ‘npattern’ is is possible to drive the variable members of pattern (CREO 12 parameter PTC_ACTUAL_PAT_MEMBERS or PTC_TOTAL_PAT_MEMBERS)Something simple like so:-PTC_ACTUAL_PAT_MEMBERS = npatternAs the CREO parameter is locked it is not possible! PTC_ACTUAL_PAT_MEMBERS  is a reserved symbol nameThanks

Hi all.We have created our new AO, A1, A2 and A3 .frm sheets.Is it possible to set different text heights as default (notes, dims etc) for each .frm ?i.e, 2.5mm for A3, 3,5mm for A1I’ve tried setting the heights in the .dtl for each .frm but when we create a new drawing with them the text height on them all is 3.5mm

when I paste a value into a table cell, after update, the cell deletes the value, I have to paste it several times for the value to remain“The same issue occurs when using a macro

Hi everyone, I am trying to remove the attach notes from drawing view, anyone knows how to do that.I tired using ProDtlnoteErase with that it will erase the note until next regeneration.Please refer the picture (I want to remove the SCALE 3:1 note) and the code.void glass_drawing_anote::RemoveNotes(void* app_data, const std::string& target_view, const std::string& target_note){ ProDrawing drawing = (ProDrawing)app_data; ProError err; ProDtlnote* p_notes = NULL; int n_notes = 0; // Collect all notes err = ProDrawingDtlnotesCollect(drawing, NULL, PRO_VALUE_UNUSED, &p_notes); if (err != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR || p_notes == NULL) return; ProArraySizeGet((ProArray)p_notes, &n_notes); for (int i = 0; i < n_notes; i++) { ProDtlnotedata note_data = NULL; if (ProDtlnoteDataGet(&p_notes[i], NULL, PRODISPMODE_NUMERIC, &note_data) != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR || note_data == NULL) continue; // Get attac

Hi everyone,I am looking for an API for "copy geometry" command and "intersect" command in toolkit.If its there can you help me with that.

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

Hi everyone,I am facing a problem to override the dimension value, I have created an dimension using ProDrawingDimensionCreate().And now I want to edit that dimension value through toolkit itself, manually we do it with using an option in drawing window called “override value of dimension”.But I am unable to do it with toolkit using API.Can anyone please help me by providing the solution.

I want to know which axis this part can move towards after I cooperate with the constraints. Can this be obtained 

How can I move the arrow position of the dimension using toolkit.Please refer the picture.I didn’t found any specific API. 

Hi, I tried this How to get Layer status of Drawing layers | Community but it is not working, if I pass the ProMdl as drawing, if you have solution can you please share the code snippet          //ProMdl model = (ProMdl)solid;         //ProMdl model = (ProMdl)drawing;    -→ fails here        /* Visit layers */        ProMdlLayerVisit(            model,            (ProLayerAction)LayerVisitAction,            NULL,            (ProAppData)&view        ); 

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

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.

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!
