Manufacturing (CAM)

How do I setup a custom sequence to position a probe to a bore. I then want to setup auxiliary sequence to run a probe macro on VF4 Haas mill using Inspection Plus software. Anybody out doing something similar? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I would like to be able to incorporate probing routines into our Creo NC manufacturing models, this would make life so much easier as the macros are currently written by hand every time.I can not seem to find any information on even where to begin setting a probe up.  All information that I find has to deal with setting a CMM up, and the probing that we have is not a CMM but to set offsets based on where the part is located.Thanks

Howdy - new to the forum.    Running Creo 4.0, M030, NC Complete (not expert machinist like the label says - why doesn't the cnc, creo nc, manufacturing labels work?).  Trying to use Roughing sequence then Re-roughing and sketched mill window while staying inside the sketched window outline.   In Roughing:Volume Rough, you can select the option for the tool to run on, outside, or inside the window sketch. However, the Volume Rough option doesn't show up as a prior step for the Re-Rough sequence.  I set up another sequence, using Roughing:Roughing which then shows up as a prior step option in the Re-Rough, but the tool does not stay inside my sketched window. Has anyone had this issue? Is it solved in a subsequent M release?

I am upgrading to Creo 3.0 from WF5. When adding a ref model to a manufacturing file the model disappears. Why?

how to add newly created option file(post processor) to the default postprocessor list plz reply ??? plz help me sir.................

Hi,In my company we are trying to make an integration between electrical/electronic and mechanical modelling.We use Pro Engineer for part and assembly modelling and we use Eplan (P8 electric version) as electric/electronic CAD.To achieve a good integration between these two software we found that we have to use an XML file containing all the information about wires, connectors and connections.The XML created by Eplan is quite different compared with the one imported by Pro Engineer, that's why the integration seem to be difficult.We should be able to convert all the information contained in the Eplan XML in the Pro Engineer format and we don't know how to do it.Probably a post processor (customized software) could permit us to make the conversion. This software should read the Eplan XML and knowing the rules and formatting needed for Pro Engineer, could give a new XML file PTC compatible.Did anyone tried to solve this specific integration problem?Any advice and suggestion?Thanks in adv

I have found that I am able to manually index our table by inserting CL COMMANDS into tool motions.  The problem is that after I rotate the table, I then go to re-position the turret, but it tries to re-position the table to the coordinate system that is selected in the sequence instead of leaving it where I positioned it.Basically I am looking for the ability that trajectory milling gives you, except without the requirements of using a toolTo better explain what I am trying to say, I will explain my current situation.  I am trying to insert safety moves for the operator.I have created a drilling sequence that follows a CSYS for B180, after the drill completes its cycle I then inserted  CL COMMANDS into the tool motion tabs of ROTABL/ATANGL,90,CCLW.  This command turns the table from 180 to 90.  I then move the Z in to 1.0 (our table moves, not the spindle), which brings the table close to the operator so he can remove clamps. I have done this Z

I understand that you can set the default direction in the work center, but how do you override the default direction when you need the table to rotate in a specific direction?For example, my table is set to rotate the shortest direction, but sometimes the shortest direction will cause a crash with the part.  So how do I manually control if the table is going B+ or B-?Thanks.

Is there any plans for making PRO/NC better like Creo got better from Wildfire -> Creo? I mean Creo feels much more logical and modern compared to Wildfire. That was a good overhaul wich wich made work much simpler overall. But I just came back to try Pro/NC again, been using fusion 360 for a while and have not used Pro/NC since WF4 release and that was just hideous.   Some things are better in Creo Pro/NC but for the most part, it just feels like a CAM application from early 2000. There are not alot of post processors for machines. Seams like there are no post processor that post in heiden dialogue code at all? Simulations are HORRIBLY slow. Do I need too keep track of what material i removed by myself? This seams like a BASIC feature of a CAM program. You still get into the roll down curtain menues from time to time in Pro/NC, they are a nightmare.   Basically, im just woundering if there is any plans in overhauling Pro/NC and making it usefull? Or will it always be this

Please check attached file for ... understand my issue..Fisa

Please if some on guide me how to use these parameters..4X_TILT_ANGLE4_X_LEAD_ANGLE4X_MIN_LEAD_ANGLE4X_MAX_LEAD_ANGLE..please check attached jpeg...

we moved from WF to Creo last year I have many times used a feature in WF wherein if you are breaking the material in volume milling with a step depth, I would remove the last second slice so that the final cut will have the end mill below the end surface for clean cut I somehow not able to find a option to do that in Creo If somebody knows please help...    

Hello guys, I have quite a trouble with Automatic Workpiece in Mold Cavity. I just cant choose any units in offsets. I have no idea why. I did some googling but couldnt find anything usefull. Do you have any advice? Thank you very much.

I am having an issue with G83 on my post. I am trying to peck drill and the post will give me the peck on the first hole but not the following holes. Does anyone know how to fix this?  

Hello Every One,   Can anyone guide me in creating a multi cavity mold using EMX.

We are currently moving to color coding and peper less design, and we already completed adding colorcodes in standards items in EMX10_M100 and this will be applied in any new mould design. Is there a easy way or workaround to remove the existing colors in previoius designs and add new colours from EMX (mainly on Mould Plate features).I was looking something like what is available in creo manufactuing volume split.(ie. what ever color we add in the parting surface, one regeneration entire colors will go to blue).Any help will be much appreciated

We are using EMX100_M010 currently, and added/updated some standards in our components library and updated setting files in config folder .Now we are planning to update to EMX100_M012. what is the procedure or safe way to update the files in new (EMX100_M012) folder. We don't want to loose the bug fixes.

I seem to remember that it was possible to use EMX functions (such as adding screws) with a standard assembly. Can anyone tell me how to activate this?

Until EMX 10, the part selected in BOM it will directly highlight in Assembly, and it was a good option to avoid confusion and quick checking. But in EMX 10, we need to double click the part to highlight in assembly. Is there any way to set this same as EMX 9.

Dear All,In PTC Creo 3.0 Launch Presentation from June 17, 2014 Brian Thomson announced that New basic capabilities from Moldex 3d will be embedded in every seat of Creo Parametric. I have installed Creo 3.0 M10 and there is no such analysis. Only what i can access is 3d thickness Check. I was told that i need to buy PTC Creo Mold Analysis Extension, why if they said in every seat?. Please check PTC Creo 3.0 Launch Presentation at time 34:28 Where Brian Thomson said " every body gets it". I was rely looking forward of this functionality. Did i missed something? Can someone give me answer please.Best RegardsKlemen

I replaced a model in my manufacturing assembly and I was able to get all the sequences to work but when I try to save I get an error message. Says model not regenerated. This is my Regen manager. Looks like the first sequence is missing but I don't see any problems in my model tree or the sequence. Can anyone help me get through this?   Thanks   

Worked fine on M130 but after upgrading to M160 the fixture vanishes when starting an operation in Creo NC. Very inconvenient since the fixture has a set of coordinates I need to use and I cannot select it. Only thing I see is the model and the workpiece. Only way to get it back seems to be close the file and reopen it.

Just downloaded and installed Creo5.0 hoping to get started with the new HSM machining,  But it is nowhere to be found ? Did I miss something with the Installation or is it missing from the first build of 5.0?

I have one issue left to resolve in a post that I am writing for a dynapath control and was wondering if anyone knew the answer or had any ideas.When running a G73 breakchip cycle, the dynapath needs the peck depth "K" and also how far it is going to retract after the peck "Q".  I was able to set the K value under motion, cycles, cycle deep setting in GPOST, but I cannot seem to find anywhere to set the "Q" value, that sets the retract distance in the G73 cycle.  Any ideas?This is an example of how the code should look, but I am unable to get the Q to output."G73 X2.0 Z5.862 K0.1 R9.2625 Q.01 F5.5"
