Drafting

Hello to everybody, I need to import a 2D drawing (DWG format) with made with several "page".To achieve this result, I set ReadAllLayoutData ON and SideBySideLayoutView ON in DXFDWG.conf file. When I load the file start the conversion that requires a lot of time (in  the drawing there are some geometry but many texts).The file size is 71MB!In the end, all 'pages' are imported correctly but, surprisingly, all texts are converted into geometry!The texts in the original file are "text" not geometry. Any suggestions?Thanks in advance. I tried with ME10 20.5.1 and ME10 19 M070 with same result.

Hi community, We have a drawing template for our company which looks like this. The BOM table and Revision table are currently part of the template itself.  Recently we released a new version of format. Upon changing the format to latest format for existing drawings some users faced some issue with Revision table (the lines of older table did not exactly match with new table). Post this problem now we are evaluating whether to keep BOM and Revision table as part of drawing template or add them as separate tables What is your opinion on this?How do other companies handle new format rollout? Any response would be appreciated Thanks in advance Regards,Prasad 

Ignore the comment annotations. Edge opens PDF fine and looks good. Adobe looks like this poor quality below. How would you describe this issue so I can google a solution? anyone know the fix to render right?

It appears I misposted this in the parametric forum...I hope this is the correct forum now. Cocreate ME10 is Cocreate Drafting, no? I do systems support for users who use Cocreate and I occasionally have to help them when ME10 reports a 'segmentation fault' when opening a file. The error is pretty much always due to a value having been written out which cannot be read back in by ME10, "-1#CNAM" is a common one but I've also seen decimals being written out with comma separation rather than dot separation. We are in spain, so the local decimal separator is comma rather than dot (i.e 1,2 rather than 1.2) but that particular error only occurs occasionally. I'd like to know if there is a either- a command line tool for validating ME10 files, which I could use to bulk identify files which have errors.- or a tool which identifies the line number of the block which is causing a problem instead of the useless 'segmentation fault' which is displayed to the user. We have thous

Dear all, KE Tools version 6.0 contains a new macro with which calculations can be done with the texts of a drafting. The example of the pneumatic cylinder shows the calculation of the consumption of compressed air with the bore, the rod diametre and the stoke: To be downloaded from http://kotom.eng.free.fr/

Hi Team,   I'm new to CREO. Working with HP. I wanted to run a command from windows command line to convert .mi files into .pdf file.  Could you please share the steps or documentation with examples.   Thanks, Som.

Hello,Im a solidworks user, but im starting to work with creo elements/direct.When i try to add a dimension to a hole, the diameter symbol doesn`t show.Can someone help me?Thanks   

 Hello! We have a very large quantity of .mi files that have been created with Direct Modeling over the last years which contain tables with information about the drawn part. We would like to read this information to e.g. find all parts that share certain entries to find similar parts. One idea was to parse the .mi file which contains all text in the file, but we don't know where this text is positioned on the drawing, so we can't interpret all these text-fields again as table where the relative position of the strings is crucial.Is there a parser for mi-files that we could use? We found python-implementations for dxf or dwg, but so far nothing for .mi. It does not have to be python, any implementation would be great. If such a thing does not exist, is there a format-description so that we could implement it ourself?

Please add "Replace Symbol" functionality.

Bonjour à tous, Je suis IT technician au sein d'une entreprise qui exploite la solution ME10 (plus précisément direct drafting V20.2.1.0)Depuis peu, un utilisateur rencontre des soucis pour démarrer l'application en mode UI mixte. 4 messages d'erreur s'affichent. Les 4 messages affichent un soucis avec la taille des menus et de la police.

I have an existing Creo drawing. Is there a way I can change the drawing "format" to a "template"? It doesn't give me that option. It seems once you choose the format option, there's no swaping it out for a drawing template.

Dear everyone I have some question about using Element drafting 20.1.4 as below ;1. I create geometry whatever line rectangle circle, it show black box instead show value . What cause of this problem ?2. When I create rectangle, it not parallel with monitor as capture screen. (Please see capture screen in attached file for clearly understand )If I guess, all of this problem cause from Evaluation mode ?   I'm not sure. Anyone who have experience about this problem. Kindly guide me how to solve this problem I'm  looking  forward to hearing from you. Thankyou James   

I believe that "artists from PTC" should see how great Solidworks have ability to organize balloons - its tragedy right know in Creo 

Have ability to have favorites to add text after dimensions and ability to store typical text NOTES without constantly typing them 

Instead calculating distance and divided by 2    mark 4 surfaces and part will be placed in center between opening surface    Solidworks have this last 15 years and its great feature

Solidworks have it since I remembermulti window view option

Ability to place dimension along vertical direction

keep balloons when changing format of drawing 

 have ability to choose - round, squared, rectangular or other shapes after this PATHETIC SPILINE is finalize to shape suggested in description with leader to or not ( choice) detail right know it looks like DOS FROM 1995

one of most aggravated functions for me What is your intention to revise a part - change - correct ? so why when you change revision level Windchill does not ask - "do you want to check out' ? of course not - because you have to get back - mark it again and then check out  don't you think it would save many clicks and time? 

why form tools need to be matted and holes have drag and drop handles ?are we talking about same company ?

Dear All,Some news about Kotom-Eng: new macro for drawing a table from a csv file and vice versa.Have a look at http://kotom.eng.free.fr/drafting%20tools.php

can anyone help me in adding a table, in creo direct drafting?In creo direct modeling, we can add a table when the BOM is active. can we add a table without a BOM?
