Customization

When you try to edit annotation text etc. in drafting, it is redrawn continuously, making it very difficult to use.I would like to know if there is a way to prevent continuous redrawing using config etc.

Good news, everyone! I want to share simplest Qt project for using C++ Object Toolkit API for connection to Creo Parametric. https://github.com/YaroslavSin/qt-creo-otk   Feel free to use it as start template and comment it.  

Our company upgraded to Creo 9 recently. I had custom IFX files that worked fine with Creo 7 and now having some issues in Creo 9. First when select the drop-down for the screw catalog, the drop-down expands across the whole screen.  Second, when about to create/assemble screw I get an error message.  Here is the trail file.    !trail file version No. 2020 !Creo TM 9.0 (c) 2023 by PTC Inc.

Hey, im using Creo Parametric 8.0.8.0. We work on one machine with Win 11 and all others are running on Win 10.I also mounted a networkshare on all PC´s to the letter N: Now to my problem with Creo on Windows 11.I start Creo and want to set a new workdirectory. I use the N drive and navigate to a lower directory. But whem im down in the folder which i want to use, and i select it. There coming up messagw which says: Error: invalid Directory, no changes were made.  For tests i added a new networkdrive P: this drive is set one folder level deeper, now when im direct into the targeted folder it works....  On Windows 10 i want to do the same. At least it works. But only on the second try to set the directory. At first try, theres the same error. When i now quit the window and go into the targeted folder it works.   The user have all the required acces rights to use all the folders in between,  Are there any knows issues

Hello,Does anybody know how to change new value of varied items with CREO 7 VB API. RegardsLudovic Besse

Hello, I have a question about a startup files. If I would like to setup two startup files for parts and two for assemblies, let's say one for general design and one for tooling, each would have it's own set of parameters, which I would then call into assemblies and then further onto drawings. Now when I copy one from the other, and try to change the parameters on one, they also change on the other, why is that? How could I separate these startparts so they are completely standalone? I am using Creo 9.0.5.0 and am connected to Windchill release 12.1.2.5. For any info, thank you very much.    

Hello, I have a question while I was making a function related to printing in creo toolkit.We confirmed that the function has a ProPrintPCFOptionsGet that uses the pct file to retrieve the print settings. I think it's a very useful feature, but I thought I had to have a pcf file before I could use it.So I tried to create a function to create a pcf file first, but I couldn't see the proper function, so I had a hard time.Can you recommend a function that makes a pcf file? Or if you know how to make a function without using it, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.Thank you.

Hi there, in the web.link "documentation" there is a function  boolean IsObjectCheckedOut (string WorkspaceName, string ObjectName)   within the "Class pfcServer" I tried  let active_ws = oSession.ListServers().Item(0).ActiveWorkspace; console.log (oSession.IsObjectCheckedOut(active_ws , CurModel.Filename));    But I only get "TypeError: oSession.IsObjectCheckedOut is not a function" How do I get the information, if an object is already checked out?   

I have wrote a ptgram that has no functionality only one class. And i can't register it in creo text directories are added protk.dat added but there is still an error.

I have created a chamfer on a part using the chamfer tool but when I show model annotations in the drawing the callout is simply "C .250". I would like it to show as "45° X .250". How do I make it show that way?      

You are using the ProAsmcompMdlMdlnameGet function. The document instructs you to release the variable whose name is printed to ProWstringFree(), but if you actually use it, an error will occur and you will be forced to exit.Can you tell me what to do?  ProError status; ProFeattype protype; ProMdlfileType f_type; ProFamilyMdlName f_name; status = ProFeatureTypeGet(feat, &protype); if (protype == PRO_FEAT_COMPONENT) { status = ProAsmcompMdlMdlnameGet(feat, &f_type, f_name); if (f_type == PRO_MDLFILE_PART) { ProWstringFree(f_name); } } return PRO_TK_NO_ERROR; }   

Hi everyone,I need to do a completely automatic drawing from file step.I already use various templates butwhat I would like to do is this:1) I import the step2) I find the dimensions of the box that contains the piece3) based on the size of the part I decide the format to use and the scale4) mathematically I detect which are the largest dimensions to establish an orientation of the part and therefore define a "TOP" view which is the starting point of the projections.5) With the program in detailing I also do the other projections. I already have experience with TRAIL file generatorsfor example I made one that opens a list of drawings and creates the pdf and backs it up in a given folder. What I'm missing is having a command that gives me three variables, x-y-z, for the dimensions of the piece and three other variables, DX-DY-DZ, AX-AY-AZ, which give me the distance and orientation of the piece in way to redefine the step reference with another CS  to use all the views of

I've been using VB API for a couple of weeks now and now i want to add a button to the ribbon. But I can't even start an application in CREO. My code looks like this: Imports pfcls Module Module1 Public asynconn As New CCpfcAsyncConnection Public conn As IpfcAsyncConnection Public session As IpfcBaseSession Sub Main() user_initialize() user_terminate() End Sub Sub user_initialize() conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 1) session = conn.Session End Sub Sub user_terminate() conn.Disconnect(5) End Sub End Module My protk.dat file: NAME test EXEC_FILE D:\Users\Creo_7\Test_Button.dll TEXT_DIR D:\Users\Creo_7 STARTUP dll delay_start FALSE allow_stop TRUE REVISION 2001 END  config.pro: protkdat D:\Users\Creo_7\protk.dat What is a minimum requirements for creo VB application to run inside of CREO and how than can I add button on the ribbon? Errors that I'm getting

I am trying to modify the text in pt_install_test to have a different button name. My .dat has text_dir set as just ./pt_install_test. Inside ./pt_install_test, I have been editing ./pt_install_test/text/usascii/msg_user.txt, such as         -Install Test Label -Install Test TEST NEW VALUE         but this change is not being reflected in the menu. I expected that this did not need a rebuild, but I've tested with rebuilds as well and the text is not changing. I am confused where it is even getting this old value from at this point.     

Does anyone have an example of using VBA (excel) to modify the value of a parameter in an instance of a part family table?      

As per the original post.    HI, i have the same problem here. if i use ProSolidFeatVisit() function to visit the assembly, how do i transfer between feature and modelitem? which value of ProSolidFeatVisit() function should be used? and do you mind share your code here, many thanks.
