Modeling

Hello,I'm having a problem with PTC Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.5.2.0 : Sometimes I loose the little "cross" next to the cursor resulting in me unable to select anything (see attached files). I tried to close the viewport but nothing changed. The only way to get the cross back is to restart Creo. I can't find a way to reproduce consistantly the problem. I get this issue 1-2 per week. I hope someone can help me.Cheers !

Hello,i've done an update from Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.2 to Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 20.7.1.1.Now the same assemblies are very slow in zooming and have sometimes a delay in movement.I use WIN10 Pro, HP Z4 G4 Workstation with Nivdia Quadro P2000 and 2x16GB DDR4 RAM. Can i make any settings or hardware upgrade to make the programm as fast as it was with V20.2? Or should i install a version beetween V20.2 and V20.7 with more functions than V20.2 but comparable speed?BR, Chris

Hi allI have a problem with a silent installer for Creo Elements Direct.Before i have created an installer for Creo Parametric(which work well) and i re-use the base of it.According to CS136223 (https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS136223 ) and CS414799 (https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS414799 ) I do the following:Creo Elements Dispatcher:setup.exe /s /v"/qb- INSTALLDIR=\"<Path to Base Directory>\Direct Dispatcher 20.7\""Finite Elements:setup_fe.exe /s /v"/qb- INSTALLDIR=\"<Path to Base Directory>\Direct Finite Element Analysis 20.7\""Even the License Server works kind off(looks like it installed something but i miss the shortcuts to the web browser)setup_sdserver.exe /s /v"/qb- INSTALLDIR=\"%CREO_LOADPOINT%Direct License Server %RELEASE_SHORT%\""But Creo Elements, I don't get it to work. It just don't install. Not in my specified location, not in programfilesBelow the example from: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS136223 SETUP.exe /s

Hi Guys,For my opinion, perhaps, the "sheet and the frame in Annotation" are not in accordance with UNI EN ISO 5457-2002. In attached you can find an extract of normative. In particular, the sheet folding references are in wrong condition. What is your opinion?   

I was able to copy this activation key, which is valid for 72 hours, and paste it into the Manual Product Activation window to use it.The first time, I was able to use it for 72 hours without any problems. After 72 hours have passed, I want to use it again, so I do the same thing, but this time a window appears saying that key is incorrect and I can't use it. Question:Is this 72 hour activation just a for one-time use?

We recently moved to CED 20.6.2.0Now some models are not visible. Both in assemblies and loaded as single model. They ARE present in the structure browser, but they don't show up in the viewport. When "double clicked" they do highlight in the viewport.For some models changing the resolution makes them visible (although other models with the same resoltion are visible).Copying the invisible model makes the copy visible.Modifying the invisible model makes it visible.

Hello.I'm using Creo Elements/Direct Modeling (x64 edition) Revision: 20.1.2.0, and every time I export a SLT file, I need to change the maximum deviation value. Is there a way to lock these values to create a default parameter? 

After working well since initial download on 7/30/23,  Creo Modeling Express no longer starts.  Instead a pop up dialogue prompting me for email and password to Activate comes up.  After entering my e-address and password. and selecting 'Activate' I get a second dialogue saying:  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 activation can proceed.  I'm merely an individual with a laptop, there is no proxy server.  My internet connection is fine and I have a basic PTC account.  How can I fix this and why did it happen?

But this only work if a the part has a geo resolution of 1.0E-6 mm.Is any way to work arround this? i want to use this module with imported parts, but i cant becouse i have a geo res of 1.6E-2 mm. Creo Elements Direct 20.2.1.0

Hi,This message can also be found in the product ideas. Inseparables are used to show/save an assembly as part.Currently, while scanning the BOM an inseparable is handled as an assembly instead of a part.This leads to errors in the BOM list.- main assembly     - part 1     - part 2     - inseparable 1          - part 3          - part 4     - sub assembly 1          - part 5          - inseparable 2               - part 6               - part 7 Setting "Scan Inseparable" = "OFF" (Anything located below an inseparable is used as BOM entry)=> OFF = The inseparable will be calculated=> ON = The inseparable will be ignored, parts will be calculated separate Current outcome SCAN ALL LEVELS:- part 1- part 2- part 5Expected outcome SCAN

Is there a way to reorder the sequence of locations within a network? Pushing them up or down in the primary defined sequence you might need to reconsider in the course of your design?Additionally, I would like to know if it's possible to remove a location within a routed wire/cable without it being deleted in the network itself.

Is there a way to embed a font in an *mi file created by Annotation? I'm afraid that my customer can't display a drawing correctly if he has not that font in his Windows computer. Related question: is it possible to do the same (embed fonts) when exporting to DWG or PDF file format? I'm using Modeling 20.5 on Windows 10
