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)

Hi All - my company has decided to change hardware suppliers and I now need to change out laptops to a Lenovo machine. I'm currently running a Dell M6700, nice big screen but very heavy. I do have a recommended hardware list from my local reseller but was looking for recommendations from those who are using Lenovo laptops.Regards,Pete.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

We just switched to Creo 2 and I am struggling with play path. I used to be able to do play path, pick the file name and a it would open a dialog box that I could control the speed. It will still open the box if I go through the Process Manager. It will still run my CL file but I cannot control the speed so it goes real slow.What am I missing?Thanks Bernie

I am currently running Manager Server 18.10 M050 using SQL Server 2008 R2 in Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. I am planning to upgrade to Manager Server 19.00 M040 on a different machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 and SQL Server 2012. What is the proper order of operations for making this upgrade and move? Should I first upgrade to v19 on the old server and then move the database over to the new server? Or should I move the 18 database over to the new machine, restore the db in SQL Server, and then install Manager Server 19? Do I need to have Manager Server 18 installed on the new server first if I am going to do it this way? Any guidance with this is greatly appreciated.

Hello all, I am pretty new to CREO drawings and using parameters callout to use data from the part file to be displayed in the drawing file. I am familiar with &scale, &pro_mp_mass parameters that can be put in to the .frm file to be called out in drawing with their respective data.  What i want to do now is to define a parameter (or if there is predefined parameter?) for huge descriptions for my my part file like in that description i will be explaining the max min operation temperature some of the machining and manufacturing processes on the part and things like that. So is there any way of adding this description which will be in the form of paragraph in a part file as a parameter which i will later call in the drawing file? I have tried defining the parameter in the .prt file by changing the value to "string" but the characters i can enter is limited and it wont let me add next line to it. hope you people understand my question. Thanks   P.S: It wud be really hel

Hi All,I am fairly new to the Pro-E software. I've just generate a mini program to test but I am not familiar with how to output it to the machine.There are post processors already existent that were made from the previous programmer but I am not sure which one to select.I am also trying to understand the file extensions following. By default Pro-E will generate a ".ncl" file but how can you generate a file with a ".cnc" file extension.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hello Community,I am using 4 axis cnc mill with B axis as a rotational axis. I used various offset surfaces for this program which you can see in the design tree.I have spent considerable time in searching different forums and videos to find a solution to this problem.I would like to show rather than explain in words. (sorry I had to hide the component name)1. This is the work piece and the reference model as below.2.For better understanding, this view will be used. You can see that sequence one is fine without gouging into the reference model. 3. So is the case with all the individual surface milling operations.4. But when I run the tool path for the operation OP010 as whole, the tool passes through the model as shown  Please suggest me how I can control these 'motions between the operations' without gouging into my workpiece.thanks in advance.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

How can I get a HighFeed Mill to adjust the output correctly in relation to its geometry. The model I have is a STEP file. I am able to get a correct path when milling a vertical wall but it won't recognize that the Cutter_Diam is not at the bottom of the tool. It is essentially adjusting it like it is a square endmill. Here is what the tool looks like.It appears that it is using the cutter diam at the tooltip instead of adjusting to the radius on the tool. Unfortunately I can't put a corner radius value in because it consists of multiple radii.Thanks in advance.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

One of the most important things you can do when you create a model is make sure that it can be successfully manufactured. There are so many potential problems with an injection molded piece—incomplete cavity filling, undesirable weld line location, and improper wall thickness.   In PTC Creo 3.0, you can evaluate your model for problems before it ever goes to manufacturing. That means you can FIX the problems, too, saving everyone a ton of money. PTC Creo Mold Analysis is an injection molding simulation application that can verify the part design for manufacturing to avoid molding defects.   In this post, a PTC expert explains how the feature works.   To run an analysis on your part, follow these steps: First, click Applications > Mold Analysis. The Mold Analysis tab opens. Click Mold Analysis > Material Setup. On the Material Setup dialog, select a material from the Material library. If the material is not available in the library, you can modify the properties of

Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help.Look at the attached G code (underlined code is the problem and redundant) and tell me why this is, and how to get rid of it.ThanksJon

is there a way to force Creo to climb mill when doing a volume roughing sequence? it seems to go back and forth from conventional and climb when machining.  Also is there a way to keep the tool down in the cut and not have it jump around when cutting?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.
