 How to insert Item to a Tree, and form a tree structure by setting the parent/children relationship of treeItems?What does ItemPositionData mean?Can some one show me some code.

How to compose the tree data structure in Creo UI component Tree. I am using OTK Java.With these classes it provide, I don't know how to add childNode or set parentNode. I can only display one node in the tree which might be the root node. This is my code. package com.ptc.otkjavaexamples.ui;/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ | | Module Details: | | Name: TechniqueTree.java | | Purpose: Display the TechniqueTree dialog \*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ import com.ptc.cipjava.jxthrowable; import com.ptc.pfc.pfcCommand.DefaultUICommandActionListener; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcComponent.*; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcCore.ItemPositionData; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcCore.uifcCore; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcDialog.*; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcInputPanel.*; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcPushButton.*; import com.ptc.uifc.uifcTree.*; public class TechniqueTree extends DefaultUICommandActionListener { private String

I am looking for a way to search in a drawing for a table with the first cell has the content "Rev." and if this table is found, a new table should be added.Below script finds the table, but it seems my command table.InsertRow() seems to be failing.Can somebody help me?(The table has 4 columns, if this has any influence.) function addRowToRevTables(drawing) {    try {        // Get all tables in the drawing        var tables = drawing.ListTables();         for (var i = 0; i < tables.Count; i++) {            var table = tables.Item(i);             try {                // Get text from cell(1,1)                var cell = pfcCreate("pfcTableCell").Create(1, 1);                var mode = pfcCreate("pfcParamMode").DWGTABLE_NORM

Hi, I am working on IFX custom library creation for my company.I have more than 1300 screws with 4-5 categories .I can not use dat files with category name and multiple parts from same category in the file. As i just dont have differentiation on Top category, i have different variations in sizes, lengths, then material, finish, drive types. I am now creating individual .dat file with info value placed in them showing part number, its size, length, material, finish, drive types.So, my top level category shows around 200 screws in one category dropdown,then each row shows, its name and other attributes. Is their any way we can add multiple options of dropdowns to select from, like length, or thread what we have. SO extra dropdowns for material, drive type. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.01、二维绘图下草绘和注释里“绘制组”命令的API是否有开放（功能开发需要）2、或者能否提供和设置组达到同等效果（绑定的对象可以一同操作）的且提供了API可用于开发的方法。

Hey I have a code to check if there is a family table in the part. This will in Creo 5 return the name of the instance if it ends with "flat" or "flat1"But in Creo 11 I get a fatal error.I thing it is because I don't have a Family table in the part.How can I check of the part have a Family table? FamilyMember familyMember = (Solid) model;FamilyTableRows familyTableRows = familyMember.ListRows();// Find if a flat version existtubefor (int i = 0; i < familyTableRows.getarraysize(); i++) {FamilyTableRow familyTableRow = familyTableRows.get(i);if (familyTableRow.GetInstanceName().contains("FLAT1")) flat_name = familyTableRow.GetInstanceName();else if (familyTableRow.GetInstanceName().contains("FLAT")) flat_name = familyTableRow.GetInstanceName();if (!"".equals(flat_name)) break;}

I am working with Creo 8. I would like to implement a dialog with tree view in it. The tree has 3 columns. I have spent few of hours trying to understand API to create and populate tree. But not able to figure how to do it. With C++ I wasn't even able to add node to tree. With C I could add node but not able to figure how to add column. If anyone has tried this already I would appreciate the help in from of sample code. FWIW - For C I have following working code to add node -     auto status = ProUITreeColumnCreate("dialog_material_assign_assembly",                                        "MatAssignTree", nullptr, L"Test", 10,                                        PROUITREECOL_LEFT);    status = ProUITreeNodeInsert("dialog_material_assign_assembly", 

We have just installed Creo 11 in our office and have now found the it is stripping the Mapkey from the Config.pro files and placing them in the App data setting folder as a new Mapkey.pro.   This is a big problem for us....   We have multiple start up shortcut that point to different folder that has different Config.pro & search.pro files depending on the task we are working on, and each Mapkey in the config.pro points to a different file location to set the working directory.   I don't have a problem with the Mapkey being placed in a separate file, but I hope we have the option in the config file to point to a different location so we can mange the different options.   Peter

I’m trying to create a pen table to automatically print in black and white through a distribute patch. I tried several materials but it doesn’t work, the copy comes out in black and white. Can anyone help me with this? How can I automatically print a PDF in black and white using distribute? Thanks in advance for everyone’s attention!!

Hello there,i am using creo 9.0 and vs professional 2022I want to create a full asynchronous creo toolkit application on VS professional, but i dnt know how to start in a proper way. using some online materials i have managed to create  something ,1) any guide or start point to async creo application2) How to pass RPC commands and where to find it ?3) when i try to unlock using protk_unlock , i get toolkit for drawing license isnt available , but i dnt use any api regarding drawings ?4) how to generate a pfc file and use that to get all the data of the cad part from the session?sorry if all these are basic as i am new to it . i have learnt creo toolkit synchronous mode but not this

Hi there, is there a way to declare a template for process plan assemblies? When I try to create one, "use template" is grayed out:  The main problem is, that there are no pre-defined orientations, which makes it unnecessary inconvenient to create drawing from that later.  I am using Creo 10.0.7.0  

Hello, i've been tryign ot designate created command in PTC Creo JS API and didn't succed at all. Creo API can't find message file. I've been also trying to create absolute path to message file but it didn't work too. Here is my code example:// 1) Get the active Creo session var session = pfcGetCurrentSession(); // 2) Unique id for your command (make it unique per run while testing) var COMMAND_NAME = "MyJsSampleCommand_" + (new Date().getTime()); // 3) Implement the action listener var actionListener = pfcUICommandActionListener.create({ OnCommand: function (commandId) { print("Hello from " + COMMAND_NAME + "!"); }, OnCommandEnable: function (commandId) { return pfcCommandStatus.pfcCommandStatus_Enabled; } }); // 4) Create the UI command var uiCmd = session.UICreateCommand(COMMAND_NAME, actionListener); // 5) Designate it so it can be placed in Screen Customization uiCmd.Designate( "message.txt", // Message file "MyCmdLabel", // Label key from ui_message.txt "My

Creo AFX parameter and relation modificationsHello, I am working on trying to put in custom parameters and relations within the AFX parts. I figured out how to add parameters that are user defined by modifying the AFX  config start_mdl.cfg file, but the relations are not working. I need relation - driven parameters for multiple parameters when any beam profile for AFX is opened so I want them applied globally. I cannot find the afx_start_model that the start_mdl.cfg in AFX seems to reference for the current relations, and I have tried adding .rel files to reference relations within the start folder and also have tried editing the param_relations folder within the beam profiles without any luck.  I am not sure if it is a file location or syntax error, or if there is something I am missing. I essentially need to populate the AFX start parts for every beam profile with my own parameters and relations. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.&nb

I have a number of relations based udfs for creating manifold block designs. All the logic is built using Relations in Creo-Parametric. There is a specific logic I have built around transferring dimensions in decimal form (say 3 decimal places) to a 3D hole-note written with relations, so that the hole note shows the 3 decimal places. (Usually, when transferring to string form, Relations only transfers the integer part of the dimension) I have a work around for this, which works well, but then, every such hole, has to have the logic built in its relations.  Is it possible to have this common logic as a subroutine, written in the part relations , which I can access, every time I want to increase the decimal places ? I can call this subroutine with the value, number of places I want to show so that the sub-routines returns a string value with the correct decimal places. This is the relations program for a counter bore dia with 2 decimal spaces and a counter bore depth with

Currently it's not supported by Pro/TOOLKIT to do also a "Revise" beside a Checkout of an object from Windchill using ProServerObjectsCheckout() like it's written in Article - CS254712 - What Revise and Check Out options in Windchill PDMLink are supported by Creo Parametric customization.This functionality would be a great improvement for further CREO-releases.

hi All i acutally have the same issue as this post here:https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/Using-the-VB-API-to-create-a-drawing-with-a-custom-template/td-p/17502 but the possibilities to fix mentioned there do not work for me, does anyone has an idea? i am using creo 7.0.12.0

Hi I'm trying to make an asynchronous app that help automate some processes.is it possible to iterate through all parts/sub assemblies in an assembly and add all components with a specific file name (test.prt for example) and add them to the selection buffer? I want the user to have the option to right click and hide/exclude/delete the selected components.   any example of how to add components to selection buffer will be appreciated. thanks 

I can define the thread hole format in the .hol file after  edit CALLOUT_FORMAT line.but i can't define the countersink hole format based on this way, anyone can tell me how to define that? another problem is how to hide the zero after the decimal point?

Good day to anyone, first time posting here! I've been having a very simple issue, but as I am accumulating an increasingly large amount of files and need to navigate multiple folders, it has become quite a hassle that Creo's 'File>Open' Menu only allows for opening a single .prt file at once. Unfortunately, as the files in question are only somewhat related, they are not part of an assembly and as such cannot be opened together using the 'Open Subgroup' option.In many other programs, I could use Control-click to select multiple files individually or Shift-click on two files to select all files inbetween, then have all selected files opened in their own respective windows after clicking the 'Open' button. Is there a hidden option to select that would allow me to open multiple files at once? Or could I somehow replace the file mangement system with a somewhat more user-friendly one? Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Any assistance in the matter would be very

I am using creo object toolkit java to make some secondary developing.Suppose I have get the ComponentPath of a part or component in an assembly model. Which function can I use to hide and unhide the part or check its hidden status. I read the usergudie a thousand times and could not find one. Belows are functions I have tested.com.ptc.pfc.pfcModel.Model.Displaycom.ptc.pfc.pfcSelect.Selection.Displaycom.ptc.wfc.wfcSolid.WSolid.DisplaySolidSadly, none of them help.Does the toolkit provide the function to programmatically hide and unhide part, just like hit the button in this picture?

The Creo Parametric CAD application currently supports drag-and-drop functionality for opening design files directly within the session view area. However, as part of a customization initiative using Creo Toolkit, I am seeking the ability to intercept these drag and drop events when a file is dragged into the Creo Parametric session. At present, there appears to be no API available within the Creo Toolkit that facilitates the interception or handling of these specific events. Upon reaching out to PTC support, I was directed to knowledge article CS230497, which confirms that capturing drag and drop events through the Creo Toolkit is currently not supported. The support team recommended submitting this as a product enhancement idea. Therefore, I’m formally requesting the addition of APIs to the Creo Toolkit that would enable developers to capture and respond to drag-and-drop events within Creo Parametric. I invite fellow community members to vote for this proposal to help

Hello, I'm having troubles using this two funcitons. Effect I'm expecting using this two functions one after each other. I see the same thing without changes by getting actual transformation and applying it to the model. Now let's see what's actually happens let model = pfcGetCurrentSession().GetCurrentModel() let transform = model.GetCurrentViewTransform() model.SetCurrentViewTransform(transform)This code retrieves transformation from opened model and i expect this transformation to be correct because I do actually see it in model and there is no errors in it. But: Uncaught Error: pfcExceptions::XToolkitBadInputs in ProViewMatrixSet at <anonymous>:3:7Is there any extra step needed to repair transformation gained directly from model?
