Manufacturing (CAM)

Hello, I would like to catch the first GOTO in CL file and output Z first (only for the first goto). In the CL I have: SPINDL / RPM, 7957.753876,  CLWRAPID GOTO / 835.8168781015, 779.7292319751, 30.0000000000 In the post-processed file I get (yes G1 because I forced not tot have G0): G1X835.817Y779.729Z30F9999 But I would like to have 2 different lines like below (I would like to have F1000 for example): G1Z30F1000 G1X835.817Y779.729Z30F9999 (I can repeat the same line like it is) Thanks for your help.  

I want to use creo 7.0  Will mold analysis Extension works on creo 7.0..?  

Has anyone come up with a conversion (other than hand editing) for PC Dmis to read a Creo .pts file?   Creo .pts file is in this format :   ! DATUM POINT ARRAY DATA FILE!! Comment lines should begin with an exclamation mark (!).! You may have as many comment lines as you wish.! There must be at least one space between values.!!

      can creo manufacturing and programming is run on siemens controller vmc machine ?

Does anyone know how, or if it's possible, to extract the shrinkage value from a part, as a parameter?  This has to be stored as a system parameter value somewhere in the model.  I'd like to be able to show the general shrinkage value on our prints.   Thanks, Rob

Hello, This topic is very closed to the Article - CS149279. I would like to know, how to propagate the three misc datas (COOLANT_OPTION, COOLANT_PRESSURE, SPINDLE_SENSE) specified in a tool to a sequence ? Thank you for your help.

Hello, I am trying to put together a tool path for a Makino A71 with the part rotating about the B axis while surface milling.  I have a pretty good understanding / experience with using this machine with sequences that reference individual coordinate systems that result in the B Axis being locked in different rotations under the same operation.  What I'd like to do is surface mill around a part that actively rotates while milling.   I've dabbled with some theoretical parts that were simple and everything appears to work OK in Vericut.  The part I'd like to machine has a very irregular surface and cannot be cut with a helical or trajectory path.  There doesn't seem to be much guidance available on this, through PTC, this site or youtube.  I am certain that there are PTC users out there that can do this with their machines.  If I accomplished it, it'd be a first for a user at my company.   Does anyone have any advice on how to make

Hello Community,   I am adding an inclined part in EMX Assembly by top-down process. Part getting added in assembly successfully, but while generating BOM the size calculated by system is rectangular even part is like pin (Circular). (Actual Size : Dia50 x 300mm - Calculated size: 258 x 258 x80) Similarly  I am assembled a rectangular plate in inclined way by topdown process, wrong size calculated. (Actual Size : 408x 70x 28.3 mm - Calculated size: 408 x 68 x61)   Please find the attached screen shots. I used standard Demo data set for trial of EMX assembly.   Looking for response.

Just started using Creo 4 and previously when setting sequence parameters if there were options to choose from and you pressed F4 it would open the drop down box without having to press the down arrow at the option and then you could select the correct option. Is there a way to do that in Creo 4?     

Hello all, I am putting together a post processor and want to add a G90 whenever a workoffset is called. I assume it is a FIL routine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.ThanksJosh

Greetings   I'm an undergraduate mechanical engineering student working on graduation project (Exechon robot ), that robot has complex kinematics ,so I have chosen to do it in a simulation software but faced many obstacles and during searching I found a simulation video of my project  made by Creo .   I don't know any thing about Creo software but I'm amazed by it and want to know if I can reach my target by it . what I want to do : import my design and Creation of kinematics like joints between bodies and constraints ...etc . create path , use inverse kinematics solver to move the robot joints thus the robot tool follow the path . export motion profile of joints . Doing engineering tasks like milling or drilling . in the end I uploaded the video that attracted me here .   Sorry for repeating the question but I can't find the proper section of my ask .   Best regards,     Abdelrahman

Hi I am looking for some help establishing a new machine and getting the correct post processor. does anyone have a post that fits this machine?

After designing my mold cavity and extracting the mold components they are assigned a color based on my system color settings. My company will take those mold components and reassemble them in a standalone assembly to be inserted into a mold base, I will usually changed the color and maybe add transparency to each individual component at this time. My issue is if I ever need to make a geometry change in the manufacturing assembly, all the components are reassigned back to the default system colors again.   Does anyone know of a way to stop the system colors overriding my user defined appearances? I know I can change the system color to something else but I generally don't want all the mold components the same color, different colors makes it easier for the toolmakers to differentiate parts and shutoff locations.   Thanks.

Creo 4.0 M090 I'm doing some 3-axis milling, simple 2D arc and line motions, and standard pecking drill cycles, etc. A strange thing is happening, apparently due to the part models involved. Here's a brief rundown of what I did. A. Added reference model and workpiece. B. Defined some milling sequences for those two parts. C. NC-Check works fine, shows me a simulation of the material removal. D. Added another reference model and its workpiece. Basically the next stage of manufacture of the part and the results of the previous steps. E. Defined a milling sequence and some drilling cycles for the two new parts. F. Now, NC-Check gives the message in the subject line above, not only for these new cycles and the operation containing them, but also for the previously completed sequences (in steps A and B).   So, the question is, what in the world have I done wrong? I've had this problem with specific sequences when I've had a cutter that is too small, or when there is a difference in acc

I would like to use the selection "DRILL_DEPTH" as a criteria but it is not available in the parameter list.Currently it is not possible to add parameters yourself. The parameters listed in the 'rule: parameter' list box are system defined parameters.

UI for data output offers some new improvements in SMARTElectrode 12.0.0.0:   Name of Operation Exports will be named like selected operation by default. All operations of electrode assembly can be exported in a row without changing the name.   Output by Simplified Representation   In addition to export by operation or selected electrodes, users can now also select a simplified representation for export. Simplified representations could be added for repair, new electrodes necessary through design change or gate electrodes.   Operations from SMARTElectrode 7.0 Allow import and output of operation sub-assemblies from SMARTElectrode 7.0. A new operation has to be defined if new electrodes should be added.

Hi,   I am adding a weight column in EMX BOM, it is not getting the weight values even I refresh (Recalculate option) it.   Please find the attached screenshot.

Hai, in EMX, during ejector pin placement, relief holes will cut only in one insert, this is causing issues when split inserts are available which is sharing same ejector pin holes. one of the example is Blade ejector pins. Please let me know is there any way to cut the ejector pin holes in all sharing inserts with out manual updation.  

Hello, imagine you have a very long machining...for example a finishing sequence of 5 hours. I want to machine with 5 tools for example (all the same tool geometry of course). Many CAMs have the possibility to divide the toolpath, either by LENGTH (meters of machining for example), TIME and many others (for example ANGLE, DIRECTION). Is there any possibility to do something similar in Creo ? Thanks.

Hello,when generating a hole table with MARK_COS enabled. Creo 6 crashes. Don't you know what I'm doing? Thanks

Hi,   I am using EMX 12.0.0.0 when i am run the macro file it gives the error Can i use my own BOM format to run the macro..?? Is it possible to add the material in EMX Material Library & how..???     Please help.

How can we set the starting point of tool path during milling operation? (In default settings it automatically selects the starting point).

I'm looking for manual or tutorials for NC Sheetmetal module describing the complete overview of the module.

Creo gets crashed while i tick trim upto quilt/body in ejector pin option.this has happened many times,can you give a solution for this problem.

1) Is it possible to add more than 1 finger cam pin for slider in emx? 2) is it possible to change from finger cam pin to dog leg cam in slider? can you please provide a solution.
