HEAD missing from ncl file in Creo 4

I was utilizing the HEAD word to pull up a macro in IMSpost to output probing strings and variable prompts. It is no longer being output in the ncl for Creo Parametric 4.0.

This has to do with the mold design option, I think those topics belong in parametric &gt; manufacturing.Link to post: (Did You Know? Filling Loops on a Part Mold) by @cmcclintock https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/Did-You-Know-Filling-Loops-on-a-Part-Mold/m-p/444351#M9056 &lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5em; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;If you’re working with a reference part in mold assembly that contains holes, you need to cap them before you split the mold. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;In this post, a PTC expert describes how to cap the holes in Creo 3.0.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5em;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;First, hide the workpiece so you can collect surfaces on the reference part efficiently. To do this, in the Model Tree, right-click the workpiece and from the pop-up menu, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;

Unable to get negative BAXIS movements to post in code

I have flipped every switch and configuration that I can think of trying to get Creo to output a negative B-axis movement. &nbsp;The machine is currently set to shortest path in Creo, and has all the correct boxes checked (I have tried them all I am pretty sure) in GPOST, but no matter what I have tried, I am unable to get the "-" value in front of my B-axis movements in my generated code.What am I missing?This is our&nbsp;current FIL that was made for us, but even if I remove the FIL and run default GPOST, I still do not get the negative values for the table rotation. &nbsp;The way our table operates, it has 0-360 and negative controls the direction. $$ ****************************************************$$ * R O T A T E S E C T I O N *$$ **************************************************** CIMFIL/ON,ROTATE XX = POSTF(20) ROT4 = POSTF(7,4) ROT5 = POSTF(7,5) IF(ROT4 .EQ.

Eliminate Extra Rotation In NCL

In nc sequences that start with a new tool at the same rotation, Creo Parametric does not output a ROTATE command. We add a cl statement at the start of the new tool nc sequence to force out a ROTATE in case of a restart at the sequence by an operator. When we do this, at the end of the ncl file it dumps all of the ROTATE commands again. It is hard to write it into the post because there is no word to look for. Any ideas? $$-&gt; END / ROTATE / BAXIS,&nbsp; ATANGL,&nbsp; 270.000000$$-&gt; TRANS / 6.0000000000, 14.4462803075, 12.5740000000$$-&gt; TRANS / -6.0000000000, -14.4462803075, -12.5740000000ROTATE / BAXIS,&nbsp; ATANGL,&nbsp; 90.000000$$-&gt; TRANS / 6.0000000000, 14.4462803075, 12.5940000000$$-&gt; TRANS / -6.0000000000, -14.4462803075, -12.5940000000ROTATE / BAXIS,&nbsp; ATANGL,&nbsp; -90.000000$$-&gt; TRANS / 6.0000000000, 14.4462803075, 12.5740000000$$-&gt; TRANS / -6.0000000000, -14.4462803075, -12.5740000000ROTATE / BAXIS,&nbsp; ATANGL,&nbsp; -270.000000$$-&gt; TRANS / 6.0

EMX-Windows 10 Compatibility

From B&amp;W's compatibility chart, I see that Windows 10 requires EMX 9.0 M013? Find the chart here at http://www.buw-soft.com/data/pdf/compatibility_matrix.pdf We have been having a load of problems in the BOM interface which are not consistently repeatable and we are running EMX 8 in Creo 2.0 M100I can't be certain but this seems to have come along since we "upgraded" to Windows 10.Typical problems are:that the BOM reorders itself even if you save out of the BOM and come back in immediatelyRestoring a set of excluded parts (eg 4 support pillars) to be included in the BOM restores only one of the four partsQuantities are sometimes incorrect; sometimes even reflecting a zero.Some item numbers go missing when the BOM is printed by populating a repeat region table in a drawing ie the item (POS) is there in the BOM UI but not on the drawing. Regen and updating the drawing do not fix this. Saving the BOM to the clipboard and pasting into Excel puts them into the spreadsheet.Two questions
