Customization

Is there a limit to the length of the mapkey that I can run in the BaseSession.RunMacro(String mapkey) command in JLink toolkit? I have code that dynamically generates a mapkey to extend its functionality. I group all the mapkey parts that it generates together in one long String. Then I run that macro right before returning control to Creo. I decided to do it this way, to make the mapkey run sequentially.Depending on the number of parts in the assembly, this mapkey becomes long. Very long. Creo hangs when control is returned to it. I can only force quit Creo at that point. The debugger runs until the end of the code and then returns control to Creo, and it starts to hang. On shorter mapkeys, it is not a problem. Control returns to Creo. The mapkey gets executed. The code functions. The problematic mapkey is 4000 lines and 200 000 characters long. Is it known what the limit is? Either a formal limit or a practical limit? Then I could decide when to develop or use a workaround

I'm using Creo 9.0.9.0 When I open the Creo Parameteric Options window, via the command File -> Options -> Options the window the dialog window that pops up is so wide that the options are  not on the screen. They are shoved off-screen to the left. I can't resize the window with the usual Windows arrow keys, mouse clicks, etc. It will let me make the window wider, but does not allow any decrease of window width.  Is there a way to access the window settings for this dialog to correct this situation? I tried looking for any sort of settings in the Windows registry, but nothing seems to be stored there.

Hi, i have a bit more complex problem which actually consistas of two simple problems.Model structure of most of our hoses looks like thisbut for some reason when doing save as in windchill it does this to analysis featureit measures only part of a curve (composite curve)using JS API i need to get curve and check if it's a parent of a analysis but here comes an interesting part when referencing part of a composite curve it still creates parent connection how can i check if analysis references whole curve but not it's parts and in case of referencing only part of it repair analysis feature to reference whole curve When i'm using model.ListFeaturesByType(false, pfcFeatureType.FEATTYPE_COMPONENT) i'm getting feature curve which than i can't convert to curve to use listElements() when i want to get it from model.ListItems(pfcModelItemType.ITEM_CURVE); it doesn't provide anything like there is no curves in model but they clearly are even in the tree 

Somewhere along the way, I increased the size of the window that pops up when you execute a File->Options->Options from the ribbon. When I do this, it brings up the usual cascading list of main options, sub options, etc. But, annoyingly, the window I see is so wide that the actual selections are pushed off the main screen. What I find when I attempt the normal Windows thing of grabbing the side of the window and moving inwards is that it doesn't allow this. I can make the window larger in the horizontal direction, but it will not get smaller. Anyone know if this is something i can adjust via a .ui file of some sort, or do I need to access the registry to fix it? In the old days I'd be able to hit the registry and find where this window is getting its initial size specs, nowadays we're locked away from such things.

Hello, I'm working with Creo 10, and I need to do some modifications in a model and its external data programatically (through Protoolkit API) based on  some information contained into a XML file which is the primary content of a Windchill Document. I'm wondering if there are methods defined in API which can help me to do that, I don't want to modify the file, only read it. I tried to retrieve the document by using the "ProServerObjectsCheckout" function but it didn't find anything. I'm not sure this is possible since I don't see defined any appropriate handler (ProSolid, ProDrawing, etc.) for WT Documents. Thanks.Ivan B. 

Hi   Is there any API or some approach to verify whether sketch is fully constrained or not? I can get section from sketched feature using Toolkit. From section, I can verify number of dimension and number of constrains... But there is no such thing whether sketch is fully constrained or not.   Any thought?   Thanks and REgards KEtan

I received a config.pro file containing mapkey settings. Some of them work, while others don't execute the intended commands. If I manually set the command via Creo → Options → Mapkeys Settings, it works, but it doesn’t allow me to save the changes, so the old command is active again after restarting the software. Exporting and importing didn’t help either.The command was assigned to the vb keyboard combination, and I tried to set it to the View Bottom orientation.Is it possible to overwrite an existing mapkey so that it persists after restarting Creo, or can only unused keyboard combinations be reliably assigned for this purpose?

1. I'm head of technical department, We realize drawings and molds for tyres  2. We use Creo 10 version. 10.0.8.0 3. My problem is to manage the state layer in assembly mode, for each kind of component where i have created inside of each one the releated state layer. 4.Complete the tyre sequence, in different rules study mold. 5.I don't know, is a new process. Speed on the drwaings and rules check and the modification is very helpfull for each drawer

Hi Guys I hope you all going good I'm trying to get the dimension from the Gtol, we have one API called "ProGtoldataPlacementGet" from this API we can get the actual Dimension of the gtol but this API is already deprecated. I'm using Creo 10, does any one knows the alternate solution please help to resolve the issue.  Thanks 

Hi, we are currently using Creo 11 with SAP as our PDM system. We also want to use Advanced Framework.When using AFX connectors which are not project specific (e.g. ITEM universal connector) we want the connectors to be loaded from the library. When inserting such a connector in an assembly the component is just in session with no path (Tools -> Model information). When the assembly then is saved, a copy is written in the working directory. When I close Creo and reopen the assembly the component is taken from the working directory. When I remove the component from the working directory and reopen the assembly in Creo, the component is loaded from the library.When using the standard Creo assemble feature it looks like the component is first opened in Creo and then assembled. Something must have changed since it was working with Creo 9. Is there any setting that could help getting the non project specific components directly from the library (with path reference to libr

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a simple Java application. I have jdk 17. I checked Creo Object Toolkit Java in the installation. I'm struggling to find what to put into my classpath/ if I need one at all. The requred .jar files I've seen mentioned online don't seem to be in my install, but those pertained to older versions. Any tips would help! Thanks,Adam

I'm not sure of the best way to do this, but I know it can be done from a previous job. I would like to create a table where the user can selection options like they would in a symbol and their selections would populate the table. Basically, I'm trying to create a "Applied Standards" table where the user can pick the relevant standards from a list and put them in the table automatically.What is the best way to go about doing this? I don't really see a way to do it with repeat regions or in the symbol gallery.

Hello, We have 3 jLink (java) applications/plugins correctly running on PTC Creo 7 + Java 8. Now we're testing Creo 7 + Java 11 (because of future upgrade to Creo 9/10 with Java 11). We've compiled plugins files with a same JDK11 but one of the plugins fails running with message 'Startup of application "app name" failed.' Plugins configuration is same, they're using same otk/pfc dependency, same java version for compilation and same Creo 7 instance.  I've found this article but most of points are not suitable as other two plugins are running properly. Is there a more detailed log file of creo application startup to see any detailed information what goes wrong when starting plugin? Any other idea how to debug/investigate it? Thank you very much.

Can anyone provide an example of how to apply the InMixedState attribute to a Radio Group?  I want to create a radio group with two selections AND I do not want a default item preselected. I want to force the user to pick one. I my example image below, item one is selected. I want neither to be selected.  The Creo UI Editor documentation seems to indicate this is possible by setting InMixedState. I just can't figure out how to do it.   

to whom it may concern... Hi there, I recently installed Creo Parametric 10.0.8.0.As it turned out, the debug console, you can activate by adding "set CEF_DEBUG_PORT=9222" to your start command is broken in the latest release of Creo 10. Usually, You get debug information displayed, when You open "http://localhost:9222/" on the computer running Creo Parametric.In 10.0.8.0 that address just shows a blank page (NO "This site can’t be reached" error !).In 10.0.7.0 everything works as intended. I tested this on several machines. Also tried to install both versions parallel. But to get the console working again, I had to uninstall Creo completely and reinstall 10.0.7.0 again. 

Customizing the pop up/hover display of creo parametric model names in the graphics window to include an additional parameter such as Title or PTC_COMMON_NAMEIs this just straight up an enhancement or is there a current customization method freely available?For example.    In my screenshot it shows:    SYNTAX -->ITEM:F#(FEAT TYPE):FILENAMEOn Screen --> Edge:F5(IMPORT FEATURE):601301I want to show the same plus an additional Parameter to the right of FILENAME such as PTC_COMMON_NAME as in my mockup (Green Box) below.

As a disabled user with only one hand, I need a way to setup Creo Parametric to only use Mouse buttons for PAN. This is the only function that I cannot seem to find a work around from Shift + RMB to PAN in my model. Yes, I can use the Pan icon and have been doing that, but it is extra clicks and impacts productivity. Other CREO PTC applciations have the ability to modify and control the Pan/Zoom/Rotate features (Creo View, Creo Elements etc), Creo Parametric does not have this ability for those of us that need accomidations due to physical disability and limitations. When will this be fixed for the user community?

Hello,I have a network folder where the icon is in the path F:\Config\Creo\Splash\Icone.ico , when I go to put an image on the CREO icon on the desktop it doesn't appear, the folder has all the permissions because CREO is saved normally, but the image doesn't appear, what could it be?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.2.0I've built a PRO/Toolkit project in exe (SPAWN) mode. While registering it, I'm getting the following error.Here are the errors that I faced"Foreign program did not initialize properly; a communication problem may have occurred."

Hello team, in one of our use case, we need to show multiple WTPart's details in a drawing as a table format. there could be 100 WTParts with ~15 attributes each. so the data will be sppaned across multiple sheets. as of now design engineer has to manually create table and fill in all the data and we want to automate the process. Solution:fetch the data from windchill using queryspec and populate the as "Parameters" of the drawingcreate a "Table Template" as file with '&variables' as key and add same Key values in 'Parameter' table.user then will select the table template from 'Table From File' option and place it on drawing, the drawing will automatically fill out the variable values from 'Parameter' section. downside too many parameters are getting generated as of now. if drawing has 20 related WTParts with 20 values to be shown the 20 x 20 = 400 key values pairs will get generated. but it saves a lot of manual data filling.we have to create a table templ

Hello,We are experiencing difficulties opening drawings directly from the model . Currently, our designers have to manually go to the server information(Windchill), navigate to the content tab, find the drawing reference, and only then open the drawing.Is there a way to use Creo JS to programmatically find the drawing reference associated with the current model in Windchill, and then automatically download and open it?Any advice or example scripts would be greatly appreciated! 

Hi everyone, I am working in Java with Creo's OTK, and through JLink, I was able to connect to the currently running Creo Session. I want to add an ActionListener to my session object that detects when the session terminates. So far, I have this:class CreoTerminationListener extends ActionListener_u implements AsyncActionListener { @Override public void OnTerminate(TerminationStatus terminationStatus) { System.out.println("Termination detected!"); }}After loading in the pfcasyncmt library, I retrieve the session as such:AsyncConnection async = null;try { async = pfcAsyncConnection.AsyncConnection_Connect(null, null, null, 5);} catch (Exception e) { System.err.println(e);}if (async == null) { System.err.println("Async connection to Creo not established!"); return;}Session sess = async.GetSession();creoTerminationListener = new CreoTerminationListener();sess.AddActionListener(creoTerminationListener);Then, I start an HTTP server through Creoson which communicates with the Creo clien

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a custom Creo parametric C++ plugin by creating a Process in C# and calling "parametric.exe". I'm using Creo Parametric 7.0.9.0 with C# .NET Framework 4.8. This is the C# code to create the process and run parametric.exe: process.StartInfo.FileName = "\"C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 7.0.9.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe\""; process.StartInfo.Arguments = $"+Assypath=\"{_settings.WorkingDirectory}\\{assemblyName}\" "; process.StartInfo.Arguments += $"+Output_Dir=\"{_settings.WorkingDirectory}\" "; ... // Some other arg setting... ... process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; process.EnableRaisingEvents = true; process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true; process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; process.Exited += (sender, args) => { int exitCode = process.ExitCode; if (exitCode == 0) { Logger.LogMessage("Ran successfully"); } else { Logger.LogMessage($"Exited with error code: {exitCode}"); } }; var errorData = new String

I'm looking for some advice. It seems that ProDrawingFromTemplateCreate() does not allow for the use of a simplified representation to be utilized to create a new drawing (resulting in the drawing being created with 'master'). I want to avoid loading 'master' into a newly created drawing. How are others working around this limitation? I'm considering this approach:- Supply ProDrawingFromTemplateCreate() with a temporary empty assembly model to create drawing- Use ProDrawingAsmsimprepAdd() to add a preselected simp rep to the drawing- Delete the temporary assembly from the drawing. Thoughts?
