Other Creo Products (Sketch/Layout/Schematics and Creo Direct)

It seems a little thing but the ability to complete sketch entitiies and return to the select tool, to complete features, to activate the OK button on most pop up windows, etc. all using the middle mouse button is a massive advantage in efficient workflow and productivity - use Solidworks for a bit and you notice the increased mouse travel.   Completing a sketch though is a significant ommision from the list - you still have to directly pick the pick the green tick.   If the middle mouse button also completed a sketch this would complete the set beautifully!

Hello. I have a project in which I use AutoCAD. I have several files in .edz format that I need to open to convert them to a format compatible with AutoCAD. I open one of these files in Creo View Express 12.0: And the following message appears:     Does anyone know the reason for this error and how to resolve it? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello,I am hoping someone is familiar with a way to tie the "color" parameter in block properties to the shape's color representation. I assume there is a need to designate each RGB or whatever value within the shape section with a name select-able within the block properties.

Hello folks,I'm a new user for Creo Schematics (specifically using Schematics Lite 12.0) and I've been trying to modify the sample catalog into a broader Template for my org to use, but I'm having trouble actually saving the Template file such that any of my changes actually stick. My workflow is as follows:Open an instance of Schematics and load in the sample catalog. Delete the provided design explorer sheets.Modify the sheets in Catalog Explorer (simply swap the PTC logo and address for my company's on the A3 sheet, for example)Save As to an RSDT file.Having done that I would expect that when I open a file and point to this newly created Template, the A3 sheet should have the logo and address but it doesn't.What exactly am I doing wrong? The documentation on Schematics is sparse.... Cheers,Boris

Hello,😁I am trying to implement Creo Schematics and Parametric for my university's Formula SAE team.Unfortunately I have issue loading the made .csv files back into Schematics.Initially the Datatable csv was fine but now with the Membermap updated, it no longer uploads into Schematics.Under the impression that the Type declared in the parameter of the wires I initially used was the issue, I tried to adjust the $$$datasettype$$$ value of the Datatable to different forms, referencing other wire types but this was not the issue still.I've attached the two Excel files I've put together to this message In hopes someone might understand where issues are arising. As well, here is a link to my original post in case that might be beneficial. I will be working on putting together a datatable set for the connectors (Mostly Deutsch) as to ensure that Creo will be set up far enough that auto-routing is possible even I don't manage to implement it for our Vehicle's CAD, this final semester of

I am using Creo Schematics Release 12.0 and Datecode12.0.0.0I need to draw a functional diagram of a refrigeration system.Is Schematics the right PTC tool?Are there libraries dedicated to refrigeration components?Is there a tutorial dedicated to this type of system?

Is the "Multi-line Text" tool in Creo Schematics very tedious to use, or is it just my experience?I am trying to place a multi-line note, in the Multi-line Text user interface the note looks as I want it to appear on the field of the drawing. However, when I place the note, it adds spaces between lines. I've tried changing the settings in the Temporary Note Properties GUI, but even those settings are hard to understand what they do. Help please

I was able to import the XML from Creo Schematics and autoroute my harness, however, the spools imported by the XML are locked and I'm not able to edit them in Creo. i.e. if I want to change the bend radius or the color or any other parameter in the spool, the spool it's locked. Image on left shows the locked icon and image on right shows unlocked spool    Locked icon in model treeUnlocked icon in model tree

I am getting frustrated finding good tutorials for Schematics.  I need to generate a Wiring Diagram(s) for a test rack.  I have to generate multiple complex custom components (artifacts?) with large numbers of connections.  I have done the artwork and have it in .DXF format.  I have fought through and figured out how to load the DXF's into the editor, but I need how to figure out how to take the DXF and do pin assignments and make it a reusable stand alone component to put into a library for reuse.  Does PTC have any online tutorial for Schematic?  I am running 10.0.0.  I find tutorials for some parts of this but they are years old and the instructions don't match the new rev.  This ain't my first rodeo, but the inability to find instructions, or tutorials has me frustrated.

If I use the Crossovers in Creo schematics, How do I manage the crossovers like add & delete what is required? Currently the same added via automatic selection, but we need an option to keep few & remove few. Kindly help. ThanksNaresh 

Hi, I would like to understand if we can add the specific standard electrical libraries from an external sources? If so what is the procedure? Kindy help.ThanksNaresh

There is very little documentation on this.     I have a simple block (in wiring diagram) with 5 ports on it.  Each port has a Label attached to it (labels are not attached to the block but to the ports)   I run single fibers to each port.  I want the Port to grab the "color" parameter (or any parameter) from the wire and that calculated parameter will be pushed to the text label.  It should be easy right?   Thanks in advance!  Patiently waiting....

Are there any additional default system functions to be used for creating derived parameters other than the following:dg_inherit_from_ancestordg_inherit_from_connecteddg_derive_from_enclosuredg_derive_indirectdg_derive_indirect2dg_derive_as_label Can any of these be used to propagate a property value from one port to another? Thank you.

I have several complex components I need to enter into CS.  They have upwards of a hundred pins.  I have the graphic representation in .DXF files.  How can I load the .DXF files and incorporate them?  CREO 11 Schematic. 

Currently using Creo Schematics 12, trying to perfect the CID-to-WID process. One issue that I have noticed is that if a dataset it applied to a circuit, in the circuit interface diagram, then that dataset does not get transferred to the wiring diagram. For example, if create a circuit in the CID, and assign a dataset to this circuit (20 AWG, BLACK, TXL), when I place the corresponding wire in the WID, I would expect the wire to be 20AWG, BLACK, TXL.However, this is not the case.  All datasets have to be reassigned to each wire. Am I overlooking a parameter, or anything?  Is this working as intended? If it's working as intended, why can't the circuit dataset be applied to each corresponding wire?  Otherwise you're duplicating efforts, thus creating more work than necessary.

I have designed the schematics and assigned the color codes (e.g., BR, BL, BK, etc.). After exporting the XML file and importing it into Creo Parametric, everything appears as per the schematics, but the wire colors or cable details are not being reflected.Does anyone know why this happens and what the resolution might be?From what I understand, this could be related to the DMT file settings in the model. However, I’m not sure about the correct sequence or procedure to resolve this.If anyone has insights or the correct steps to fix this, please let me know

I am having issues with importing a term table .csv file into Creo schematics 7 and unsure where to look or correct on the issue.  The table seems to work fine with 1467 entries and seems to start having issues of not loading and locking up schematics when additional entries are added beyond that.  I am also uncertain if any blank cells have to have an entry of UNSET or if they can be left blank.Is there a limitation on the number of SET columns that can be created. Any advice or suggestions would be helpful.Thank you,Scott

How can I create a custom connector, such as a dual-port connector with both LH (Left-Hand) and RH (Right-Hand) variants?I’m trying to build a similar connector but I'm stuck on a few points:How to create a dual-port – When I use a simple port, it only creates a single port and not a dual one. So, I’m wondering if I need to create a dual port first, since it’s not available in the default port options.How to replicate the behavior of the default connector setup – For example, when I select a default connector, a window pops up asking how many ports I want. I want to create a custom connector with the same functionality.I've attached an image below for reference.

Hi @agarland    On a similar note - I've found out that the linking process is based on Feature IDs. When updating the linked PVZ file, components (parts or assemblies) in   eBOM and sBOM and all of their visual attributes in Figures are compared and retained / erased based on their IDs. Those IDs are not changeable in Creo as far as I know. And IDs change whenever you change a component or replace it. In every such case the data in figures for this component is erased in every figure.    Here's an example - I've got a top assembly which contains a pallet (which in turn consists of several parts). Someone revised the pallet assembly and added several new parts retaining the rest. In the top assembly they for some reason deleted the pallet assembly and assembled the same .asm component.    The result is that the pallet is the same item as it used to but with a new Feature ID. When you open any c3di file which contains this top assembly the pa
