Hello Mr Martin,   Yes with further study of trail files and basic programming, I could successfully extract and modify trail file for .prt import and .stp export for two part files.👍..I could also write a program in Basic to generate trail file. However, just one question is there -- ie how to program to incorporate this line- ~ Input `file_open` `Inputname` `xxxxxxxxxx` into trail file? Sharing trail file and basic program (in .txt format/I had written it in qbasic only, which has been converted to .txt here)  herewith.    Requesting for the solution,   Thanks in advance!

Hello, I want to automate geometry editing process in creo. The steps are as follows: 1. Importing geometry in creo (e.g. step format) from a directory in desktop.2 Perform geometry edit feature in creo & save in step format in the same folder. (Trail file regarding this operation is ready and working successfully.)3. Same process should be repeated for 'n' no. of geometries saved in same folder. Requesting for your help.

Hello Support teamI have created dimensions in creo for a prt and successfully exported step files using AP242 protocol and I able to see dimension both in creo file and step file (refer dimensions.jpg)I want to read dimension from creo and stp file and below is the logic and apis used to get dimensions from creoI have used "ProSolidDimensionVisit" API to get the dimensions .This API give callback to 'test_DimVisitAction' callback function whenever any dimension is found in the model.test_DimVisitAction - A self written callback function,whenever we get a dimension this callback function gets called. API's used inside this functions areProAnnotationIsShownProDimensionSymbolGetProDimensionValueGetProDimensionTypeGetNote:Could you please let me know does the API 'ProSolidDimensionVisit' gives the dimension for step file If notIf not then could please let me know which API I should use to get dimension for both Creo and Step files.

3D Copilot question.For instance during creating an extrusion: I can draw the handle for the depth and it will change by 1mm steps - where can I change the setting to smaller or bigger values/steps than this 1mm? Additional question - is there an keyboard shortcut to disable the defined grid during drawing the handle?

Creo Toolkit registry file xxx/creotk.dat : application 'xxx' failed to start; see trailfile for details. I am receiving this error when I am trying to launch some OTK dll script in Creo 9. I am using Object Toolkit C++ on Creo 9.0.1.0. I am updating OTK scripts that all worked successfully on Creo 5. However, now, after updating everything, I can get the DLL's to all compile successfully, but after unlocking the scripts and registering them in the Registry file, only some work while the others receive the above error. Is there another location where the error details appear so I can do some more trouble shooting? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Mark Hardebeck

Hi, I have set following settings:Model Properties /Detail option  default_annotation_font arialn.ttf  symbol_font ISOsame settings in drawing properties All symbol come in arialn.ttf but only the diameter symbol (by pressing button add diameter symbol to dimension) stays in old legacy mode (see picture - only lines no ttf font)Strange thing is  - when i manually add the diamter symbol as prefix it is correct (see second picture)  How can I fix this?    

We are using creo parametric in french but we are creating drawings in english.When a drawing section is created the section label is in french.Is it possible to force it to english "section" in some way?Basically today we need to edit the note and change it manually. If we can save some time it is good. I know one solution is to set it up in english language but we want to keep all the menus in french for people who are not too confident. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.3.0Custom Ui dialogs are raised but are not active until user presses mouse button on them. This issue does not happen with 8.0.2.0 but happens with 8.0.3.0 and 8.0.4.0

Hello my friends, I was required to convert my solution which is based on the makefile in favor of Visual Studio (2019) project. I compiled and built my product using property sheets, but I cannot unlock it with the following message: "Unlocking this application requires option 294." I checked all the licensing, and it is perfectly OK. I found the similar case described in Article - CS274507 Error "Unlocking this application requires option ObjectToolkitCpp" while unlocking an OTK application even though the OTK license is available as part base license of Creo Parametric. The resolution of PTC is that works as expected and to unlock OTK CPP application user need to have separateFloating license option of ObjectToolkitCpp (294) license. The unlocking worked fine with makefile. I checked documentation and did not find out what is Floating license or how to use it. Any suggestions?

Hi, I was wondering if we can design a custom symbol in CREO where instead of typing variable text in dialog box, we can directly type the variable text in Annotation note itself: For example:On typing "&sym(TRIANGLE_1) THIS IS A TEST NOTE" I should get following result :   And on typing "&sym(TRIANGLE_2) THIS IS A TEST NOTE" I should get following result :   AND HENCE FORTH.... I have seen similar capabilities in other design softwares, was wondering if similar approach exists in CREO. Please let me know if this can be done, since I am working on an automation tool. Any coding based approach are also welcomed, since I have some knowledge on vbapi libraries of CREO.  Thanks and Regards,Prasad 

Without using "ProMarcoExecute" and "RunMarco" , how to use the TOOLKIT or Object TOOLKIT to scale model ? I have been looking for the "Scale Model" function in the API Wizard, but unfortunately, I did not find it. Why don't I want Marco's way to execute "Scale Model", because the TOOLKIT or Object TOOLKIT program will lose control of CREO after executing marco. Is there a way for the program to keep control of CREO? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0Hello, we have produced a Creo C++ otk plugin - all works fine. But we have a problem with how we deploy. We use TeamCity https://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/ to run our build pipeline (so we must build all the code and then use the resultant dll for packaging up. We know that we have to use protk_unlock.bat to unlock the dll. The problem is that we have multiple servers to do the Team city builds and teh same one is not used each time. We are assuming that Creo has to be installed on those machines and also the licenses can only be set up on manual install. Is is possible to do unlocking in a less heavyweight way (but still access the license server that allows protk_unlock.exe to run)? I hope this makes some kind of sense? Can give more details if needed. Any suggestions welcome

Is there a way to set the default zoom value when using the common files - workspace as i keep having to use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out.

Hi,please see attached pictures - first ist the standard output I get in Creo (picture 1) but I want to have the letter in line with the section line by default and also the section line should by longer by default (picture 2)Is this possible via a config setting? - by standard not to move always manually the letter.Is this possible with some config settings? 

Hi, I want to change the standard frames which are shown in the sheet setup/format. I know I can load my own frames but I would like to have them shown in the drop down menu.Where can I change that setting? 

I sill have boxed edges in PDF prints despite these settings in the config.pro Why does the settings not work?  

Hi,I want to select a feature using a macro, but instead of writing ID FEATURE, Creo use the NODES. Example:mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.AssyTree` 1 `node3238`;\ Is it possible to write:mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.AssyTree` 1 `feature ID 235`;\  Thanks

Hello PTC, Hello PTC Community,     Currently in Creo 4 and Creo 7 we check whether a part is a Skeleton model to handle different assemble behaviors for Skeleton and non Skeleton parts.   However, in Creo 8 & 9 this stopped working. Whatever I try, I get a nullptr from calling  pfcSolid->GetIsSkeleton() The open toolkit user guide (otkug) does still include this method...   ❓ Is this a bug?  Is someone using the GetIsSkeleton function on Creo 8 or Creo 9?

I was trying to create a basic code in Vb which allows me to connect to Creo Parametric. I followed the first steps so, I added PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE to System variables, I ran as administrator vb_api_register.bat and I added Creo Parametric VB API Type Library for Creo Parametric to my VB.NET project.When I try to compile my code, ToolkitCantModify execption appears. Here is my code so I would appreciate if someone could check it because I don´t know if I did something wrong. Many thanks!
