Manufacturing (CAM)

For whatever reason, Creo does not offer the ability to set a default clearance distance per machine.  I do not always remember all the travels on our machines and would like to set default clearance values to solve that issue.I basically want to set a relation that states:IF work cell = "insert machine name"clearance = XX.XXHowever to do this, I need to know the parameter names to pull for the work center and the clearance, and I do not know them.  Does anyone know what those parameters are, or know a better way to do this? 

Hi,the tool path of volume roughing sometimes works from the outside to inside (correct) and other time as opposed to.I attached file manufacturing with a video for try the problem.The support dosn't help me because for they are correct this Works to product specification for Creo Parametric 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡.How can do it the sequence in other way? Thanks

Hi All,I am investigating the possibility of using creo parametric NC Milling to program a table top CNC Milling machine to machine PCB test boards that were designed in a PCB design software like KiCAD. Is this something that is being done with Creo currently? We would use this for rapid prototyping of test circuits by buying PCBs with a top copper layer and then machine away the copper between PCB connections. What would the workflow for importing the top layer and then programing the milling? Thanks! FYI, I am currently using Creo 8.0 with Advanced Professional Licensing.

How do you get back the classic nc step/sequences? ThanksMike

Hi, how i can get the postprocessor for DMG Mori 5 Axis Machine with Siemens 840 control.

CREO 8.0.5.0. Parametic / Manufacturing / Material Removal SimulationWhen closing material removal simulation in manufacturing, CREO is crashing. In the past, I have chalked it up to be a large amount of sequences(Large programming file). But today, it has crashed more than a handful of times. And the program has only 7 sequences so it is on the smaller side. I tried to re-create the crash and not been able to do it. I have made a point to close the same way every time inside of the material removal simulation. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? And how to fix it.

I want to top and bottom die split of the attached model through mold cavity features. please help me anyone

Hello,I try to customise my postprocessor configuration to make it better. At the beggining of each of my programs i have a line with multiple initialisation codes. I never really asked myself the question where they came from since I needed them.With tests i discover their origin. They come from the FIL EDITOR in LOADTL SectionDYM=POSTF(13)  This option is responsible for :- Calling tool- Put the good offset- And the prep codes Can someone explain this witchcraft to me ? And how to modify the prepcodes ? Thanks in advance

Hello, I try to find a way to desactivate the spindle (or set it to 0) between two sequences with the same tool.Example between 2 engraving sequences at the end of the first, spindle Z return to a safe plan, rapid  move to the second sketch and engrave but all with the spindle at the same speed. For the moment I tested with inserting CL data but i think it's not very clean and risky. Is there a more professional method ? Thanks in advance.

Any can help me regarding this case 

This error shows up after assembling multiple rocker arm if you have any idea to solve this share that!!! Have a good day!!!... (I am using creo 5.0)  

Creo Parametric 10.0.4.0Problem: With implemented auto assignment of material for new parts, Using the create workpiece option the material assigned does not have a density assigned. With company wide standard config option "mass_property_calculate automatic" a notification about Outdated Mass Properties is displayed and adds time to resolve.No option to define template when creating a new Workpiece in NC.No option to assign a Default density on newly created parts for workpiece.You can create Solid parts, assign density and reuse those part for workpiece using “Assemble Workpiece”.  This is NOT a good solution takes longer to perform. Default material PTC_SYSTEM_MTRL_PROPS is not accessible to change.  Article CS160794, incorrectly defined a way to use a template during creation. This only applies to Mold. This is very sad that this option has been available in Mold but not in NC for a very long time.

Hello sir , I need EMX 9 for my creo 3.0 I can't upgrade. But as I was searching online it is not available any where, so can you help me and send me link for EMX 9.0 Thanks  AAkash Jain

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0I am having an issue when I post my program using NC post processor (Glidemaster Lathe with Fanuc Control). I am able to post the file but the file is not imputing any decimal points in the program. I have looked under “File Formats” – “General Address Output” but am still not able to get the program to output with decimal points. Additionally, I only have the issue in my Lathe post processor.

In Creo 3 i can create a "Stock Model" to get the remaining material after a NC Sequence.How can i set it as Real stock for next sequences?For example: first sequence is a Volume Roughing with a tool dia 20mmI would like to create a new volume using the same mill window but limiting it to the remaining material of first sequenceI don't want to use Roughing and Re-Roughing 😄I cannot replace the starting workpiece with his worked component of the familytable inside NCI can save Stock Model as prt or stl, why i cannot use it for example for further operations?Thanks a lotOsvaldo

Hello, In Creo Manufacturing, I would like to use Auto-Drilling for counterbored screws. Does anyone have experience with how to input the hole dimension values into a Custom cycle, or alternatively, in which drilling cycle could I input these values from a table? Thank you in advance for your assistance. 

Hi,recently bought the printer mentioned. today i'm working with the software provided by the printer manufacturer for the sake of adding support & slicing etc. As a next step I would like to print the model directly trough Creo ( 11 ). did any of you have an experience with that ? any specific tips or suggestion ? Many thanks,

Are there any experts in the CREO NC processing programming function???No matter how I look at it, I don't know the difference between WORKPIECE and MILL VOLUME, can anyone tell me???  

I recently get into the world of CAM, and in my factory we acquired a 4 axis milling machine an double column machine, But i'm not really good designing post processor and i'm wondering if you have something similar with 4 axis and vertical Z Axis, Thank you.

I just went through the nightmare of discovering that I was calling for 2 thousand second dwells on countersink cycles.  I thought the machine had quit, but that wasn't it.  My controller expects P periods in seconds not milliseconds.  I fussed my around G_post, found and fixed the variable and checked that it now works.  My question is what to do with Creo residual installations from 7 to 10, each one containing gpost option files for my machines, some of which have been modified over the years.When I upgraded to 10, I copied the gpost files from Creo 9 into the same folder that they would have been in 10 and it looks very much like that is what Creo Manufacturing has been reading when I call for a work-center I have on file. I fixed the uncx01.p33 (the one in the Creo10 system files) which is the option file for my mill and I now get the 2 second dwells I was looking for I suppose I can move all of the older trees to another drive and Creo won't be able

I need to mill 32 identical objects from a sheet of aluminum.  Operation includes drilling, countersinking, pocket milling and profiling of each part.  I've got the first instance set up in manufacutring and now I want to copy it into a 4x8 array such that all of the holes will be drilled, then all the countersinking, then the pocketing andf finally the profiling.   I'm sure I've done this, but cannot remember how.  

Hi, I'm creating a mould of a lego minifigure for a school project. I created a silhouette curve to define the split line on the model but then when I tried to create a skirt surface it came up with a lot of errors because I don't think the silhouette curve has complete loops. Is there any simple way of fixing this? Maybe using a different operation to achieve the same result?

Working in Creo 10.0 is there anyway to save the draft analysis as a .stp file with the draft analysis colors on the part?  I have tried a 3D PDF but have not had any luck.

Hi,I have SLM 3D printer of XACT Company. I want to connect with Creo. please let me know how i can connect with Creo. Xact Metal | 3D Printing Software

How do I remove the errors Tool parameter TOOL_ROUGH_SPINDLE_RPM (used in relation): value undefined. and Tool parameter TOOL_ROUGH_AXIAL_DEPTH (used in relation): value undefined. I already do the following...1. In the Tool Manager I add spindle speed and feed and radial and radial depth.2. In the parameters I remove any relations with these variables.
