Modeling

Hey.    I am having issues forcing my dimension text to stay in line with my dimension lines. I turned my common text orientation to perpend and the coordinates to use orientation. This handles the text and line issue but then creates issues with my diameter and radius not having the staggered line.    any ideas?

Marco,   That is interesting. The login I use is of UK origin, but since PTC themselves are a German company I would have expected them to show a more professional approach to GDPR than just cutting all communication with us. I had tried again to use a 72hour key just before I saw this post. As usual, I am informed the key I receive is invalid. Bill

My computer recently changed locations on the company internet. I have been using Direct Modeling Express for several years successfully but now I get a proxy request and warning when I start. It looks like I'll be thrown out after 72 hours?   I clearly have internet access. The company IT support is not sure what type of Proxy information Direct Modeling Express requires. Proxies are not generally used, they say.   Connection failed. For Modeling Express to automatically activate, it requires access to the internet. Please check if a proxy has to be specified, and enter your company's proxy server details so that the activation can proceed   Proxy name.........   Proxy port ...........   Thanks for any help to get around this issue.

Whenever a particular drawing file is opened, traceback error occurs and Creo 3 closes unexpectedly. Assembly file opens as usual.  

Hello every body,   When I create a 3D annotation in V.18 between two center holes, the new 3d annotation is perpendicular at  the base face of the holes (it is automatically). Can I changue this position and put parallel at the base face of the holes? I try to do with orient 3D annotation command, but it is not possible.   Any solution?   Thanks in advance.   Regards.  

On Annotation, switching from one sheet to another closes the current command, which is a shame. How can we keep it going ?

The GD&T command supports only parts of the symbols and methods necessary to enter correct GD&T definitions according to ISO 1101:2017. Although it would be better, if those definitions could by transferred only on electronic ways between the different systems (model based), there is still the paperwork and red tape, which needs complete drawings in order to define the products in a legally waterproof manner.

Who can help???

Hi, can someone please tell me what this error message mean? I am trying to create a profile using sweep remove command. Thanks!   Anar

Hi.I shelled a curved part and built various internal surfaces. I need to unshell it now so it becomes a whole solid part again. Is there some way of doing this?I can still specify the original Open face.Any ideas?

We are dealing with files provided to us from Creo Elements / Direct Modelling. These are provided in STEP format, but we cannot load them into other systems with the same assembly structure.   If an Assembly contains a number of parts that are the same, it creates different copies with different names e.g. Having Part "P" 4 times results in P, P.1, P.2, P.3. CE/DM then rolls this up in P (4).   In STEP, it creates one master copy of the part, and all instances are derived from that one.   It doesn't appear to ensure that the master part does not have the appended character. So we are seeing 4 instances of Part P in Creo Elements / Direct Modelling, but the files are loaded into other CAD systems as P.2, or with another suffix (anything from P, P.1, P.2 or P.3). We can't see any pattern for what suffix is applied.   Has anyone come across this, and is there a way to either load these step files, or export them in such a way that the naming conventions in Creo Elemen

How many users have Part Library?  Have you added any parts or personal customizations to it?   Regards   Tom

I'm learning to use Creo Elements Direct software. I do not have references documen to study. Everyone can share with me about this document. Please help me. Thank you so much!

I have a customer interested about, how to fransform Creo Elements Direct Design To BIM Format, Anybody know if there is Solution for this question?   Thanks in Advanced.   Juan Carlos Portugues INTEGRAL PLM Experts

how do I re install Creo Elements direct on my laptop?

Hi, Are there any possibilities to transfer existing Creo associations between drw and prt or asm into Creo Elements Direct? I have read on the community that it is possible to open native .prt and .asm in Creo Elements Direct. But what if they are associated to a drw? Can we transfer this association to Creo Elements Direct? Thanks, Ajay

We wish to store parts always in english speech.  (PartLibrary --> ModelManager) But when the user log in german, the parts are in german. (lang=german) We search a solution.   in German: Wir haben 3 Entwicklungsstandorte. Benutzer loggen in deutsch oder auch in englisch ein. Bei der Ablage von PartLibrary-Teilen, werden diese in der jeweiligen Sprache abgelegt. Wir möchten dies nun für alle vereinheitlichen und die Teile generell in englischer Sprache ablegen. Hat hier jemand eine Idee? Danke im voraus. Gruss am   IDEE ...9001 wurde bei PTC eingegeben. Techsoft hat dies auch als Idee aufgenommen.

I installed the Creo Elements / Direct model and it is very slow I can not work, can you help me in this correction window 10?

Good afternoon sirs I would like to know if anyone is having the same problems that I am encountering. I use Creo Elements / Direct 18.0 Copywriting, Creo Elements / Direct Modeling 18.0 with annotations, a few months ago, I replaced the hardware from an HP Z400 8GB of NVIDIA FRAME FX1800 8GB MS Windows XP 64-bit to A frame of 16GB RAM HP Z420 NVIDIA 2000 16GB MS Windows 7 64bit. I found a significant loss of performance, especially in the 18.0 build. To make a trivial shift of a figure in raster mode, the figure flashes during the shift. The problem also occurs in other applications that I create, much less obvious, but they do exist. Last remark, I noticed that the application is blocked by a much greater fraquenza than in the previous installation. Does anyone have a solution to the problem?

if you want to save the contour you have drawn on a workplane directly to a dxf file, is this possible?

Hello,   I have a .lisp file that I have to continually drag and drop into Creo Elements Direct 18.10 for it to work. Is it possible to have it located in a folder and create a toolbar button that will go out and load it instead of having to drag and drop it?   Thanks for any help in advance!

We would like the ability to enter in a formula for a spline and have the system create it on a workplane. WE do many products with splines and this would add the the flexiblity of creating complex surfaces.

We have a couple of users here who somehow lose associativity between drawings in annotator and parts in modeling but the viewsets are still in the model so I can re-associate them.  But somehow the users are saving parts that a drawing was made from but the viewset is not available...any ideas if it is possible to re-associate a drawing to a part without a viewset? Thanks!
