Hi..   As we are having many machines where Creo is installed e.g. 700, So while upgrading Creo version from 2.0 to 3.0 it stops users work. So is there any way to install creo3.0 from one single machine without taking users remote desktop or without hampering his work.   like our IT team install many microsoft software without taking client machine remote. and client get automatic notification to restart machine as new software is installed.   So is there any process or method.   Regards, PrashantThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi.I need some software for simulation and verification of my G code programs. I´ve a mill/turn center with dual spindle , 1 turret and 1 milling head.What are you guys using , what are you recommend , and what are you NOT recommend ? I´ve already looked at NC Simul which I think is VERY expensive. I also looked at Vericut , but I see that some of you has replaced that ? We are on Creo 3 M30 (on our way to M90)Br,Jesper..This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

In late April I learned that 3D Systems had discontinued their Cube 3 personal 3D printers.They come in white (392200) and gray (391100).I won the eBay bid at under $400 for a new printer with free shipping.  Within a week I was printing parts.Funny enough, when the printer got here, I was printing parts for work within 3 hours.  The real slowdown was due to trying to find the activation button on the redirected web page.  Phone support was able to help in quick order even on a Saturday.  D'oh!  ...the tab was right there staring at me.There are three reasons I justified this printer:It is a dual extruder.70um resolution option.Wash-away support material.Price helped pull the trigger, of course, but this is not just an economy printer.  It may well be the opposite as it does use proprietary cartridges.  And everything I read is that this is a very difficult remaining filament tracking module to defeat.  Reports of clogged cartridges are also not

Hey everybody,When i place ejectors using EMX, the cut which is generated is always very close or coincident with the ejctor shaft. See pic:This makes it difficult to add a champfer in the hole.I would like the distance from center of ejector to rotfix surface to be bigger. See below pic:Where can i find the parameter file, from which i can increase this distance??Best regards ClementCreo3.0 M040EMX9.0 F012This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hello Community,   Is it possible to have different layer state for a part/assembly and its associated drawing.   For instance, I have a manufacturing file with many milling windows. I have created a layer driven by a rule to isolate these. I would like to hide milling windows in my manufacturing document for the workshop, and keep these milling windows displayed in the manufacturing assembly.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I have installed PTC Creo on a virtual machine in Hyper V, Windows Server 2012 r2, and then I connect to the VM through Windows Remote Desktop. It works fine when I run it locally on the server but it won't work when I remotely connected to the VM.   Anyone that have had this problem and found a solution for it or doesn't exist a solution for the problem?   I've attached a picture of the failure down below.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Aktually GPost it´s not possibly to create GPost fils with a file extension with more than 2 numbers. An example for the actuell format is: uncx01.f01   In our company we have more than 99 machines therefore a problem with GPost.

I had a part with 4 of the same cuts in it so I programmed the first 1 then Mirrored it to the second third and 4th location then ran play path and everything cut fine. I then ran Module works and it showed the cut cutting outside of the windowed cut so I turned in a case about module work showing gouges or collisions where play path didn't. I started a support case#13023191 where Module Works gouges and play path doesn't ModuleWorks ImageActual part cut imageI wasn't sure which to trust. So now the issue goes to why is play path not showing the proper tool path?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I ran into another simulation problemabove is a picture of Vericut sumulation in Creo 2above is the same program in Creo 3 with ModuleWorks. Note the gouging going on. It does the same gouging on the drill, chamfer tool and tap. I've run this program on a machine and it does not gouge. It runs on the machine the same as the Vericut simulation.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am having trouble with my speed not posting properly. I programmed the speed at 10000 and it posts at 0, if I program speed to 9999 it will post ok. I am thinking it is something with the post not anything to do with Creo. I have looked at the max machine rpm and it was set to 10000 and I changed it to 12000 to see if that would help but it did the same thing. I don't know a whole lot about the posts so I am afraid to mess with it to much. Has anyone run into this problem?

Recently we had a successful bid for procuring 5 axis (simultaneous) CNC machining centre. Hurco’s VM10Ui with Winmax9 controller was commissioned in Jan 2014 at the University of the West of Scotland. The controller can interpret Fanuc NC code. It supports Tool Centre Point Management with M128 and G41.2.     (view in My Videos)
