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

A question has been asked if this is possible to push this thru the spool CSV file.

I am looking for a solution that reduces the need to re-design from the ground up a model similar to a previous one. Is there anyway to setup Creo or any of its related products to take given dimensions or criteria as input and output a model depending on those values? Even if the model still needs adjustment, this would help just to help reduce redundancy and unnecessary steps.

Hello to all, I'm trying to export a Creo Parametric assembly in pvz that contains annotations both at the assembly level and at the part level. Annotations are found in several combined states. The latter are exported to the pvz and I display them in Creo View 6.0. However, only the combined states of the assembly are exported, but not those contained in the parts. Is there a possibility to do it? If so, how? Thank you, Matteo

I developed a customized class and it works well with Creo Schematics API method call.  I would like to extend my class and it needs to call some third-party methods (google guava for example).   The code has no issue to get compiled and I place the *.jar file to same direction as my customized class and I also try to place it in lib direction but my methods cannot call anything from *jar file (throw exception that class not found).   Where is the right folder I should put the *jar file?    

Hello All, Sheet metal tangent lines on drawing views. Is it common to display your sheet metal drawing views with tangent line set to "None"? Is there an industry standard, company standard, or personal preference that defines this? My years in design and drafting I have typically used "Dimmed" for tangent lines on views. I now have a request to not show the tangent lines for sheet metal views. I'm curious to hear what others use. These are basic part 3 inch wide about 20 inch long with 1 inch 90deg bends. So it is not an overly complicated object.   Thanks in advance.

We have a group within our organization that has been starting to dabble a in Creo Illustrate over the past few weeks, and we are having issues getting files to import from Windchill PDMLink.  To start off, we are on Creo 4.0 M060, Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS11, and Creo Illustrate 4.2 in place for our organization at the time.   What we are finding is that if designers (those with access to the CAD documents) are working with Creo Illustrate WITHOUT being connected to Windchill, we can export the files from Creo, and import into Creo Illustrate with no issue.  Those designers can also send those files to our Technical Writing team (no direct access to CAD documents), and the Tech Writers can import those files into Illustrate without issue.   We begin to experience issues when we connect to Windchill.  We are not able to import our CAD documents into Illustrate when connected.  We get the file structure, but no viewables whatsoever.   What we are wo

Hello there,   this should be a very simple thing to do I just cannot figure it out how.   Basically how do I create a new template, so that I can add my logo, revisions chart, and so on?   the basic tutorial uses default templates so it really does not help on this matter.   I appreciate any feedback on this matter   Thanks    

Hi, I am searching for a way to delegate the Windchill Version and the Windchill LifeCycle state to Creo Schematics.   There seems to be no way, or am I wrong?

Hi,   I've connected Creo Illustrate 6.0 to Windchill using direct connection (WGM is no longer supported). I can open files from Windchill and create new figures, but I cannot find a way to save the resulting illustrations back to Windchill. When I try to publish to Windchill location I'm getting "Publishing to a server location is not supported" error message.   What is the best way to save the illustrations (cgm, pvz and png) back to Windchill? Ideally I would like to maintain the tractability to original part using describe link as well.   Thank you, Marcin Gorecki

If the Parameter pane is open, using Refit Sheet to view the entire sheet defaults to zooming it to fit the window as if the Parameter pane is close hiding the bottom of the sheet. There is an icon in the upper right of the Parameter pane that looks like Clicking on it tells Schematics that it should refit the sheet in the remaining part of the window. If you want to return to the "hide the bottom section" setting, the icon changes to  that you can use to change the setting back to default.    

Greetings, In Pro-diagram - We used to select the one or more highways at a time using the drop down menu at the bottom of the sheet.    How to select multiple highways at a time or at single click in Creo schematics 3.0?   Thanks, Ramesh

Does not matter if the graphic has anything to do with the layer.  May be a problem with other layers being protected.  You can extend fibers across sheets, just not with a graphic.   The error that is given is the generic ">>>> error <<<< Internal Error (001) occurred..." 

Hello,   I'm able to Import notes into Creo Illustrate that were created in Creo.   The problem is that the notes import without their leaders. (See Below)   Anyone have an idea why?     Thanks,   ----Bill    

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how an admin moves artifacts into a central catalog in Creo Schematics. I've tried this several times, and I've gone over the help files several times; but, I'm missing something. I've created a base template, packed, that resides in the catalog directory. From what I understand from what I've read, as an admin, I have to open up the base template, and add the parts from the temporary submission directory (or the artifacts that had been zipped and moved to the catalog directory?). In any event, I have no option in Creo schematics to add artifacts from outside of the current session, and even so, I fail to see how to submit parts to the central catalog. My only option is to add artifacts to the temporary submission. directory. The help center tells me that "to submit a folder and all its contents to the Central Catalog form Catalog Explorer or Datatable Explorer, right-click an item and choose Submit from the shortcut menu or select it and click (package sym

If I save a Creo Schematics design as an EDA file, I get the following message when opening it in Creo View:   ---    Requested Creo View ECAD license is not available at this time.  Features requiring this license will not be available --- The design opens up anyway.   We do not intend (at this time) to do any circuit board work in Creo View. Are their features in the ECAD license that enhance the viewing of Creo Schematics designs?

Went through the Direct introduction and only saw GD&T creation at the drawing level.   It was stated in the commercial it was a great tool for consumers of authored items from engineering for defeaturing and quick concept investigations. But I am sure it can have a better seat at the table than that.   Does the latest version have the ability to add annotations in the model for dimension schema based on current GD&T standards?

We use Windchill with the Windchill WorkGroup Manager, so all of our designs are .rsd packed design files. We started with Schematics 2, using .rsd files for the templates.  This was before .rsdt files showed up.   What does moving to .rsdt files for our templates do for us?  IE: what features do they have that .rsd files do not or other benefits?

I'm setting up a report table with part numbers of the connector, wedge, terminals, seals and plugs. I see that there are 2 tabs in the Report Engine window (Report Table & Detail). The Detail tab I have figured out, from what I can tell it's reading the port parameters, but the connector and wedge part number are in the Component Parameters. I have search and read but can't find a way to get them in my report table. Putting them in the port parameters shouldn't have to be an option since they are tied to the component already, plus that means I'd have to edit all of my artifacts. 

I'm looking to apply a dataset to an artifact as part of a java method to automatically grab and apply datasets to all wires on a sheet, but am getting caught at the final step. I have a populated artifact, and know which dataset to apply, but am having trouble figuring out how to marry the two together.    Here's a quick rundown of pseudo code:   for each wire on page {      verify wire has valid parameters      if (wire is valid) {          grab artifact information for wire          check for a matching dataset          if (matching dataset exists) {             apply dataset to wire          // Here's what I don't know how to do         }     } } Can someone guide me towards if / how I can go about finishing this? I think I'm close to the solution, but I've got to be missing

Hello,   Iam new user of Creo Illustrate 4.1 and I want to use this program to make spare parts catalog. For this I need to export spare pats list structure to excel.   On TAB Item List in Column chooser I can pick fields I want, which will import from PVZ Iam mainly use. But for somehow, when I go to new project, there is no this settings and i have to pick all fields manuly again.   Can you please someone help me to set this settings as pernament in Illustrate ?   Or it can be only in my standard.   Thank you, BR, Jiri.

Where can I download creoview web tool kit. I need to publish my 3D models in web. I'm able to download installers for creoview clients and adapters. Does one of these contains toolkit or do we need seperate installers for this.

Hi.I'm currently struggling with with a use case in Creo Schematics that hopefully a more experienced user can help me with.   I want to extract part of the fiber name into a new parameter of the fiber (e.g. Signal). Let me explain: If the fiber uses the name format W## (Name e.g. W03) then I want to calculate the value of another parameter that calculate and extracts the number from the name.   Example 1: Name = W03 Signal = 03 (calculated = yes)   Example 2: Name = W10 Signal = 10 (calculated = yes)   I'm not sure if this makes any sense. I assume that Java needs to be involved somehow but thats not my area och expertise.   BR Jonas Fransson

 Customize ribbon in Creo Schematics.   I imported a creo_schematics_user_customization.ui or created a new tab.   How do I get the .BAC to populate in the customized tab. that I've created.       there is no browse for placing the .bac into the designated location of the UI.   If you tell me i need toolkit I might blow a gasket.     Bart Brejcha Design-engine.com 

What is the intended use of Creo Schematics Lite?   Is the intent of PTC for any company producing P&IDs for external communication to buy the full version of Schematic?   You cannot export anything but XML files, so it seems this is not intended for communicating with customers or vendors.   I was told by sales reps it would fulfill our needs for making P&IDs, but now that I have it, I don't think it will. Shame on me for not researching further myself, but I was told the only limitation was the size of projects. So a big engineering firm would never get by with Lite, but a smaller operation could use it to complement the piping & cabling plugin that it comes with. Is this not the case? Is it primarily just a sample?

Sample Code:   I'm looking for some sample code written in JAVA 1.7 to interface to schematics. I want to update a parameter on an artifact that I have in the schematics using JAVA. There are really no examples to follow. I would be happy with the standard "Hello World" code just to see if I could get the code to work through the gateway interface.
