Modeling

Hello there,I would like to ask if its possible to change structure browser of Creo Elements/Direct modeling(20.5.1.0) to different color please. It is very eye tyring if used on daily 8-10 hours basis.I have managed to change Ribbon UI with command: (uib::win-set-skin-style :black). I tried to look through Creo files but couldn't really find clue for structure browser.This background of structure browser: I dont mind paying for this information, or if it requires some custom code creation.Thank you very much.    

Hello Everybody!Is there a way to  convert Creo 9 part file to Creo 8 part file with model tree?      

Hello, Is it possible to put chain dimensions in a set so that they are linked with each other? It's handy when you move one of the dimensions that the other ones also follow. Kind RegardsSEEBO

Hello everyone, I am experiencing performance issues with working in annotation. The best example of my problems is when i copy a piece of text.When i try to move the copied text it follows my cursor with a 5 seconds delay.I also have those kind of problems with placing and moving views and dimensions.Our local ptc support told me that it is graphics card related. I am using Creo Elements Direct Modeling 20.4.1 on a HP Envy laptop with a Nvidia RTX3060 graphics card and windows 11. I have installed the latest driver for the graphics card. When i loop up in the HP compatibility matrix, my laptop and graphics card are not listed.Could it be that te laptop is not compatible enough to run Creo elements direct modeling annotation correctly? Or could it be a graphics setting that is not correct? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I had this error pop up for all my views when i wanted to update all the views on my drawing. First time having this error pop-up and i don't really know what it could mean. Can someone explain what it is and (if possible) tell me how to fix it without having to redo my drawing. I have a screenshot of the error itself that i will attach to this post. I am working with creo elements/direct 20.6.1. I didn't find the location for posts about annotation so that's why i have put it here. If this isn't the right place then feel free to tell me where i need to post this. Kind Regards,SEEBO

Is there a way to search for face parts in the structure browser?  I would like to isolate all face parts so they can be repaired after import.   Thanks   Tom

Customers are asking to export 3D Annotation and 3D Symbols in STEP files as well as 3D notes.This because in next future customers are going to avoid creating 2D drawings for single parts, too. 

I'm having an installation issue with Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express. I downloaded the setup file, and ran the installer, but after installation when I launch the app the error message: "The code execution cannot proceed because mfc140u.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I have tried reinstalling multiple times and the issue persists.

My software won't load and a message comes up saying 'connection failed' and it asks for proxy server details - it never used to do this.  Does anyone know how I can overcome it?

why when I start Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express 8.0 in Italian, the window to activate the SW that was activated at installation appears?Why does it have to be activated each time with the temporary use key for 72 hours?Why is the Italian version of Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express 8.0 no longer available for download, only the English version exists?

Hi, It would appear that the license server is down again and has been now for several days.Initial checks indicate that there is a certificate failure causing that dreaded proxy server request dialog. Once again I am left asking why PTC continue with this license arrangement. If they are not prepared to support it then for gods sake just get rid of it. The product is ideal for hobbyists and a well supported product (free or not) is the key to getting customer loyalty, something which PTC fails at terribly.I use Creo, Windchill & ThingWorx (yes I know) professionally and am sad to say support there is also not good.  In the meantime, PTC ( if you are listening) is there any chance you will fix this? I am sure all it will take is a certificate renewal. Here's hoping------ 

I am using 20.6 Creo Elements direct,  When I am in annotation I can not change from INCH to metric as my default, I've tried changing the units, but they say they are already in MM, I also tried dimension properties but it will revert back to Inch after the selection. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Version: Creo Elements Direct Modeling 20.5 I don´t know how to do this, please help me !  

Hi! First time posting here.I have Solid Designer/One Space files dated as far back as 2004 that I am trying to recover. These files have .PKG and .SES extensions (not .PKG2 and .SES2). I have Creo Elements 8.0 but I have not been able to find a way to convert or or open these files and not much luck with searching for a solution.I still have the original dongle for Solid Designer/One Space but no longer have the install disk. This is the only way I can see as a solution would be to install the archived software and open the files and save then out as .step files.  Only problem with that... haven't been able to find the install disk.Anyone have a better solution and any suggestions? I have been trying to recover these file for years  and hopefully you guys can help me find a solution.    

Hi guys,when I open the help center in modelling Express, the program opens in automatic on "Internet Explorer" like the picture below.This browser is not my main preference. There is a possible to change it.Thanks in advanced 

Can anyone tell me how to upgrade my Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express? I had been running the free version on a laptop that I replaced and when I loaded Express on the new laptop I got version 8.0. The old laptop has 6.0. I occasionally run the old laptop in my shop to check a model and can't share a model between them due to the difference in versions.

Hello,I'using Modeling 19.0: axes of symmetry that have been manually stretched, both by means of handles and of the dedicated command, will be restored to their original extent each time the owner view gets updated.Does anyone share this experience and know if a workaround is possible?Thank youMarco

Is it possible in annotation to convert the symbols created as BOM position indicator into texts?Because in this way they are not editable after having created them on the drawing, not even as characteristics!

Hello,Does anyone have an idea in which dimensioning type or standard this dimensioning frame is used ?In Modeling and Drafting it is called FLAG in English In German in Modeling it is called "Markierung", in Drafting "Schild".     Text can also be marked with this frame, there it is clear to me. Thanks in advance. Friedhelm
