Customization

Creo10 Pro/Toolkit Cabling development issue.I am trying to route wires through a point location starting from a connector side. I created the ProRouting data for each wire. And use following code to route all of them through a point location one by one.for (int j = 0; j < cablenum; j++){...err2 = ProCablelocationrefAlloc(PRO_LOC_POINT, sel_array_route, PRO_B_TRUE, offset, &cablelocationref);err3 = ProCableThruLocationRoute(cable_route_data_arr[j], cablelocationref, &tpm_loc, &second_location);...}But the CAD shows all wires are interfered and concentrating in the point as the left pic shown.What I want is including all the wires in the point with the blue points like the right pic shown. Is there anybody know how to achieve this by the Pro/Toolkit code? Million thanks to this.

I see there is a Progress bar component in Creo UI editor.1. Is it possible to have something like a progress circle in Creo UI editor?2. Or a custom gif that we could display to accomplish showing an in-progress operation?cc @GS_14113977 

Hi,I have 100 part numbers , in which the drawing has to be opened from windchill into creo session and it should run a particular already recorded map key then it should save back into the workspace or windchill check in , When i tried running the dbatch program in native creo, it says license error. My company has customized tools inside creo and its based on floating license i guess. So is there any ways i can link that creo to the dbatch script or i should go with toolkit api commands or trail_file based scripting ?Does these methods other than dbatch have option to run in background or while the system is ideal (after working hours or scheduled time).   

We are working on building a Creo application using Object Toolkit Java.One usecase of our application is to execute tasks in background (such as authentication flow, upload opened model) while displaying progress (using animated gifs) on the custom UI created using Creo UI editor. As per our observation, whenever we start a task in background by creating a new Thread in Java, it blocks the currently open UI dialog i.e the UI dialog completely freezes and doesn't display anything.The result is same for all modality types for a dialog - MODAL, MODELESS and WORKING. Sample code snippet: uifcComponent.CreateDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG); uifcDialog.DialogFind(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG).SetModality(DialogStyle.DIALOG_STYLE_WORKING); uifcComponent.ActivateDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG); Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(() -> { // Background tasks // Destroy dialog once background task is complete uifcComponent.DestroyDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG); }, "threa

I am trying to follow the steps detailed here to learn how to create a add-in for Creo 12.0 using the Creo Toolkit C++:https://support.ptc.com/help/creo_toolkit/protoolkit_plus/usascii/index.html#page/creo_toolkit/get_started/Using_the_Microsoft_Visual_Studio_Solution.html#However, my computer will not let me unzip the file where it is located (it is within program files), and when I unzip it somewhere else, the protk_install_example can no longer access the files in protk_appls. I've verified that the C and C++ compilers are included in my version of Visual Studio 2022.Any ideas on how to unzip this file and build it successfully? 

When I drop another UI component into a ProUITree, how do I make it sit exactly inside a property-sheet cell? I’ve tried hard-coding the size and position, but nothing lines up. ProUITable snaps the component to the cell automatically—can ProUITree do the same thing?

Hi,I am trying to implement ProMdlReadonlyIgnore with reference to article CS398373, as I am unable to upload parameters while it is in Checkin state. Untill Creo 7.0.11 I was able to do it, but same action in Creo 10.0.5 is demanding me a checkout. By referring article CS398373 I figured we have to use ProMdlReadonlyIgnore(I suppose not as a custom API) but PTC provided. I do not see any document in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT API Wizard .Can I get some help here.

Vers. 10.0.5.0Creo program has stopped using the config options i've had before, specifically inverted zoom shown in picture. I am unsure which is correct for the zoom option i want (Yes or no) however i have tried changing the config file to both options and it has not changed zoom direction and uses the default scroll wheel down = zoom in & scroll wheel up = zoom out.The only notable difference i've done recently is closed the program improperly by closing the pc but this has not changed the config files for me before. Any advice is very appreciated!Solution:Using the link provided and testing what config.pro was being loaded, it turned out to be start up/working directory. Reselecting the working directory with the config.pro solved the problem. 

Is there an event that occurs when you click on the top item in a CreoUI table?

Hi, hope someone could help me how to set up config.pro file or any other way I could sole my issue with Creo interface.My first problem is how to setup Layer tab width on creo startup or when open new work file , ( as every time minimizes for every new part file ) ( see attached image )Second problem I need help with is how to setup line thickness? I would need a less thick selected line, and more thick general lines in 3D model , as this lines are so thin and barely visible on 4K monitors ( see attached )Thank you in advance! Stefan

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.4.0I have written a C executable that will not run unless ucore68.dll is in my Windows path. I want to not be dependent on DLLs if possible.Here are the errors that I faced:The code execution cannot proceed because ucore68.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

I have an identification table (1 row) that I insert into a drawing and it contains &ID1:D.When I insert the table I get flagged with the 'ADD PARAM' menu. From here I select string, type my new value, and &ID1 gets added as a parameter in my drawing.I would like to be able to add a 2nd ID table that gets bumped to &ID2:D, so that on every table insert I get an additional parameter created in my drawing. These id's can range to well over 100. So simply creating (2) different tables, one with ID1 and one with ID2, will not solve my problem. Is this even possible? Thanks for your help!

I've found instructions to toggle a custom layer that include writing two .pro configs, then referencing those in the mapkey, but those instructions are from around 2012, and I'm wondering if there is a more straightforward way to toggle a custom layer with a single mapkey. I've currently got a mapkey that hides a custom layer, "CURVES", with the following code: mapkey z ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree` 1 \mapkey(continued) `node0:CURVES`;\mapkey(continued) ~ RButtonArm `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree` `node0:CURVES`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdViewHide` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ PopupOver `main_dlg_cur` `LayerActionMenu` 1 `PHTLeft.PHLayerUI.AssyTree`; Is it possible to modify this to allow for toggling? Currently using Creo 11.0.4.0

First, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for GRANITE questions. If not, please point me to the appropriate community. I'm creating a KBody instance and for some reason KBody::IsReversed() is returning true. When I ask the triangulator to create tristrips for me, they are coming back with the normals pointing inwards. Is it up to me to reverse the tristrips and normals? Cory

Hi team I have a doubt regarding how to calculate the smallest distance between edges using the toolkit. This is specifically for a sheet metal part.Does anyone know how to accurately calculate the edge-to-edge distances or if there’s any workaround available for this? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.I've attached the image for your reference.

We have many models that were created with an older start part, meaning that some layer rules did not get applied before the model was released. One of these critical rules is to put the auto-generated hole note on a layer and then hide it.Now we are working in an assembly with these parts in it.  These auto-generated hole notes are showing up at the assembly level.  Is there a way to hide them without revising the already released part?  Is there a layer rule that can be used to collect an annotation from a lower level part and then hide it?

Hello everyone,How can I remove the "Expand All" command from the navigation trees?It’s an extremely annoying icon.Thank you in advance for your help.Pavel

How can i define a Default value for the UIReadStringMessage(true); The command appears in my jlinkapp without a defaultvalue. On page 79 of the helpfile you can read the note. A default value is displayed in the text box as Input.When user presses the Enter key as input in the user interface, the default value is not passed to the Creo Object TOOLKIT Java method; instead, the method returns a constant string use_default_string. When this string is returned, the applicationmust interpret that the user wants to use the default value.

I'm asking for a work around, because Toolkit will not work proper in the following scenario (my guess).   You have ONE Drawing with 2 Models BOX.PRT is active at sheet 1 and CYL.PRT is active at sheet 2   You get the scale with: ProDrawingScaleGet(drawing,solid,sheet,*scale)   If sheet 1 is active, the function  ProDrawingCurrentsolidGet() will return BOX.PRT, and now I have the Drawing, the Solid and the Sheet to get the scale, so far - so good. But if I activate sheet 2 via Toolkit, ProDrawingCurrentsolidGet() will return BOX.PRT again which is not correct.   There is no function to Update the Model Tree. The Drawing tree can be updated but the Model Tree will not reflect the change if I switch to Sheet 2 and display the Model Tree of the CYL.PRT.   Do I miss something here, or is there a trick. I tried ProDwgSheetRegenerate, Refresh Wind, Solid Model Tree, Regen and so on. But the call to ProDrawingCurrentsolidGet() will always return th

I wanted to know if it's possible to get the dll handle of another application from a toolkit application if both the applications are registered using registry file Prodev.dat.   Scenario: Suppose I am loading two add-in/plug-in DLLs at a time through prodev.dat file.Internally, i want to get the handle of each DLL, to communicate internally.Is there a way, i can get the DLL handle of each plug-in.Steps tried: Suppose, I am loading A.dll and B.dll through prodev.dat.When both gets loaded, I called toolkit API ProToolkitDllLoad() and passed B.dll path to get the B's handle.But, the API fails.If I try to call, ProToolkitDllHandleGet() , I don't have the first argument i.e. ProName application_idQuery from PTC team: Is there a way, i can get the Handle of B's DLL?

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 5.0 (connected) Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.6.0API ProDimensionCreate is not supported(unable to create dimension) for attachment of type PRO_SILH_EDGE in toolkit API, Also How to select PRO_SILH_EDGE in creo Ui using ProSelect API?? As there is no string available to select PRO_SILH_EDGE.

I've been trying to use the creoson libraries to pass parameters to a model and generate a drawing from javascript ... but the dimensions in model could not be displayed in the generated drawing.. when i try to do the following,dimObj = new creo.DimensionObj(); dimObj.name = "d0"; dimObj.showFlag = true; respdata = await dimObj.list({file:"mydrawing.drw", name:"*"});it returns a blank array when i trydimObj.show({file:"mydrawing.drw", name:"d0", show: true});to show an existing dimension from the model from which i generated the drawing, it reports, the dimension does not exist.. and ofcourse the dimensions are visible in creo when i manually use the "show annotations" toolbar button.. sadly, theres no show annotations interface function in creoson dimension module... any suggestions / help is appreciated
