I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M100Edit Parameters Tools menu is missing options and the parameter list is abridged. There are tons of missing parameters in this particular manufacturing model. CL_DIST is a big one that my Post Processor uses and it has gone missing in the parameter list. Starting a new manufacturing file remedies the situation but I need to know how to fix the one that is already complete as there is a lot of work already done and starting over every time this happens is not a solution. I need to know how to correct this issue if it ever happens again. I did attempt to export the parameter list from a good model and open in the broken one but I receive a long list of errors stating not valid.

Hello,I have a problem of surface finish with a volume rough.The previous operation leaves 0.2mm of stock (walls and bottom)  for the finish with my volume rough.  I choose a spiral toolpath and i have sharp edges between each trajectory segments. In the real world this create micro stops of the servos of my milling machine and a very bad surface finish.  So i decide to apply a radius with the option "Smooth_corner_radius = Max radius" and "Smooth_radius = 1" (End mill of 6mm diameter).The problem :The calculated trajectory miss some areas of my surface...Same problems with "constant_radius" and angle_radius" for "Smooth_corner_radius", smaller radius value and thinner "step_over". Some ideas ? Thanks in advance

The other day my (HAAS) machine crashed doing a G81 canned drill cycle. I'm not sure how to fix it, but I can't be the first to run into this issue.  Hopefully one of you can suggest a reliable way to fix this. Here is what happened: I had a G19 in the program which changed to the YZ plane.  But there were no circular movements in XY before the G81, so the post processor never added in a G17 code to change back to the XY plane.  When the G81 was called, the drill cycle happened in the YZ plane instead of XY, which crashed the drill.  Later, there was a circular movement, so the G17 code showed up there, but it was too late for my drill cycle. So apparently, the post processor doesn't realize that canned cycles are affected by the active plane.  Is there a checkbox for this somewhere?  Is there some better way to address this problem? Thanks for any help!

Hello,Every time i select "constant load" on a rough sequence, Creo add a at the start of each trajectory a ramping. It is not a correct arc but a succession of straight segments. The huge problem is that in practice, during machining my milling machine moves jerkily and vibrates enormously to follow all the segments. With other types of scanning, i do not have this problem, the cut start on the right Z position. (Volume milling with cst load option = same problem) Rough with cst load : Rough with "Follow contour or spiral" Any idea to remove this "ramping" ? Thanks in advance.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.7.0I am having some issues in Creo, while generating the NC or trying to edit the sequence, it shows fatal error and Creo crasheHere are the errors that I facedfatel error encountered. A tracebake has been written to C:\Work\proefiles\traceback.log

Hi folks,   In Creo NC, using Machine Tool Setup -> Parameter UI, I have edited the list of basic parameters visible in the "Parameters" list of NC sequence edition.   Because it's quite a long list of basic parameters that I now have, I'm wondering if it's possible to customize the default size of the "Parameters" dropdown window in order to extend it downwards. See attached screenshot for visual.I prefer having a tall "Parameters" dropdown window rather than having to scroll the list to see all my basic parameters at once.   Any pointers much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am looking for a post-processor for the controller Siemens Sinumerik 828D. I have seen several posts about the Sinumeric 810D and 840D here in the community but none about the 828D.   Can a post-processor for a generic Siemens controller be used for the Sinumerik 828D? or should I create an 828D-specific post-processor? Did someone develop a Sinumerik 828D post-processor? Thank you in advance.   Francesco 

hello friends how to we change the primary axis word form C to B in the creo post-processor??  thanks asif  

Hello, On my manufacturing draws, i have a sheet for each operation (op010, 020, 030 etc.)On each sheet i have a repeat region with all sequences type, name and tool for the actual operation.  I order to simplify the operatior work, i would like to add a fifth column with the tool_pocket_number for loading the tool carousel on the machine with the right tool. Here are my column parameters : When i add &mfg.actoper.workcell.head.tooltbl.toolpocket.tool_position in the fifth column here is what i get :    How can i add for each line the tool pocket number ? Thanks in advance.

How would you capture and differentiate the 3+2 axis machining and 5 axis machining. For example when I have 3+2 axis insert a command and when in 5 axis insert other command.

When I was using Creo 4 I was able to modify the Parameter drop down box to include specific ones I wanted without having to go to the whole machine parameter box. Now that we have moved to Creo 7 I cannot remember how this was done. Has anyone else done this? Thanks in advance. What I wantWhat I have

Hello, everybody, Does anyone meet the problem when saving the part file to step, the lattice design is missing?For example, in the first picture, I created a lattice structure, I then saved it as step file.But when I open the step file, it appeared as the second picture.

hello, experts in creo Are it possible to generate g-codes from the offset tool tip please check the picture. I want to use those codes for welding purposes regardsasif

mach3 it is not showing the 5 axis back plot tool path as shown on cimco edit what is the thing I am missing please check the jpeg. need helpregardsasif

dear expert just made this machine please check the jpeg it's 5 axis swivel head type machine. I can make a 5-axis program on the rotary A-B axis attachment, but this machine program does not follow the part position.please need your advice  regards Fisa

Hello,   On my part, I use the volume milling function to create a slot diameter 4.2mm at the bottom of a side pocket in my part. For that I use an end mill diameter 4 and it works well.     But when I try to use the cutter compensation (G41), nothing changes in the Gcode file.   I have other sequences such as profile milling and the G41 is correctly converted into the GCode. It never works with volume milling?   Does someone have an idea?   Thanks in advance

Hello, I'm trying to make a stack in Creo, but the button to start printing is disabled.  USB is currently connected.  Is it a problem that requires a separate license? Or is there another problem?   Thank you.

Has any noticed that you now have to have a work piece in order to turn on the Mill Volume and Mill Window options? This was never an issue with prior versions of Creo up to 7.0.9.0 All that was required in the past  was to have a reference model.  Where is the logic in forcing a work piece to be defined just to machine a surface or text on a surface. I could not find any config,pro options to reset this back. Creo 8 and 9    Creo 7 

Dear expert facing the issue of trajectory 5 axis milling in normal to surface option the path is discontinuing. at normal to surface option .please check jpeg   regards   Asif fisa

During Creo additive manufacturing, most guides export files to 3mf. However, only G-code can be read when reading from a 3D printer afterwards. Is there a way to export it directly from Creo to G-code?  I am currently using creo 9.0.

Hello, All, Can someone help me how to define lead in/Lead out with radius function for the each slice of Trajectory Milling or other Milling？(Attached picture shows what I want) in Trajectory tool motion tab, we can only set Lead in /Lead out or Helica for the whole cut path, can not set Lead in/Lead out for each slice?  your help are appreciated!
