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. The Idea is to extend the possible numbery, maybe to 4.   I refer to call 12999549This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

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)

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.
