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

Hello,I have few harness installs that are needed to be converted into either .obj or .stl files. It is not convertible directly. IS there a alternative way to do those. Please help. As i need those to be worked on in a 3D software Blender. Which accepts either of those two file extensions as inputs 

Hi, I am fairly new to CREO Schematics. So far I have been creating parts that come in 1 piece. The next challenge is to define a part with related accessories. Examples are:- A power switch mounted on a DIN rail with terminal covers and the shaft to connect to the rotator on the door (see image below)- A relay holder on a Din rail and the relay to plug into it (see image below)- A terminal block with a jumper to make a connection between the jumpers The goal is to have all these parts in Creo Schematics to allow outputting a complete BOM of parts with their related accessories. I am using Creo schematics 10.  

Anyone have a suggestion on how to manage a cable/harness in Schematics (by dataset) to a quantity of 1? We have harnesses that are 10 conductor and 12 conductor. We apply a dataset, example 10HRNS1, 10HRNS2, 12HRNS1, 12HRNS2, etc. We need to limit these to be quantity of 1 each so we do not run into errors on the BOM since they are same part number but labeled differently. So my 10HRNS1 can only be quantity 1, 10HRNS2 can only be quantity 1, 12HRNS1 can only be quantity 1 and 12HRNS2 can only be quantity 1. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello, I am the Creo Librarian for my team and we had an issue recently that caused some folks Creo Schematics files to error during the syncing process.  They get the error "This file contains an item name that already exists in the design."  This had to do with a datatable issue and we have been able to correct most peoples files by going into that datatable and deleting the duplicate parts.  However, on some of the designs, the datatable in question is not appearing in the datatable explorer and I am not sure how to recover that datatable as the program is saying that it already exists within the design.  Is there a way to recover said datatable or am I looking in the wrong location to get it back into the datatable explorer. Thanks, Justin

Hello,I want to remove hidden lines in my half section (circled red in attached picture) but still have hidden lines activated in the remaning part of the view (circled blue in attached picture) - how can I make this happen? I'm currently on Creo 11Thankful for all the help I can get./ Andreas

In Creo Schematics 11.0, when placing a Block shape on a block diagram sheet first, run a report, select place artifact, and then place the Wiring shape on a wiring diagram sheet, the software does this properly.   When you have a wiring shape placed first, and then place the block shape next, the software does not show the block shape of that artifact. Only the label is displayed, but the shape's outlines are not displayed. I can click and drag/select the artifact and the properties can be seen in the parameter panel. I have tried updating all sheets, restarting the program, but still does not display. No Error is displayed.Not sure if this has anything to do with it but when I look at J1(NO GOOD) and J2(GOOD) in the model explorer, J1 does not have the 2 block ports (for this shape the ports are named BLOCK and MATE) but J2 does.

I am using Creo Schematics Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0Check connections tool reports missing connection on one of my blocks. The fiber appears to be attached, but when trying to reattach, the line jumps to the bottom left corner of the screen and reports error Internal Error 002. The only work around I have found is completely deleting the fiber, and rerunning it, but this does not necessarily fix the missing connection error.Check database reports no errors.Here are the errors that I faced>>>> error <<<<Internal Error (002) occurred. Use the Check Database tool and contact technical support for assistance.

Hi Im having an issue and creo won't open my file, can anyone show me how to recover this please. Using Creo schematics 4.0   

I am using Creo Schematics Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0 how to add splices for more than 3 wires in Creo schematics.

Is it possible to adjust the scale factor of the catalog items with respect to the sheet size?  For example, I have created a block shape with A3 as the sheet template, Now If I wish to insert the same block into another sheet of different size, for ex A1, the block appears to be small. If there is any option to add a parameter which scales up / down according the sheet size, that would alleviate the manual task of creating the blocks for different sizes.  Please help me. 

PRO_JAVA_COMMAND variable keeps reverting to a different path.Throwing the following error when launching schematics"Java 11 or above is required for creo schematics to run. No supported version of Java was found." C:\Program Files\Amazon Corretto\jdk11.0.22_8\bin\javaw.exe - Path it reverts toC:\Program Files\Amazon Corretto\jdk11.0.23_9\bin\javaw.exe - Path that works when switched back Its only happening for one user. I have combed around and do not see the old version. Java updates are turned off. Seems to happen about once a week. Temp path is ok.

I have tried many different export options trying to keep my grouping hierarchy in Creo Illustrate. But anytime I import an FBX file, all objects are just pulled into the root object and groupings are lost. This is not the case with some other formats like DAE, but the file size is to large for the pipeline I am involved in.  I have prepared the FBX files in both Maya and Blender with the same results.  Does anyone know a process to keep the hierarchy that I might have missed? Looking to save a lot of rework by finding a solution.  (Sorry if this is in the wrong area, not exactly sure where to put a Creo Illustrate question, a mod can feel free to move or message me where to remake the post if needed)

Creo Schematics 10 and 11 crashes when trying to export a pdf of the design sheets. We are able to reproduce this in an empty design with two sheets. We have narrowed it down to the formats that we have been using for years. Creo Schematics 4.0 does not have this problem exporting with our current designs and the attached test design. The Event Viewer in Microsoft shows Faulting module name: DL180PDFL.dll, version: 18.0.4.3, time stamp: 0x62a673dd.  Note, that PTC start template that ships with the tool does not have this issue so please test with the attached files. We are unable to update until this issue gets resolved.  I am concern that this will impact other customers that have custom design templates (formats).

when I try to create a flat harness, with a multitude of wires stuck together, it places the wires in relation to the z axis. therefore, I cannot move my threads so that I can see them all in profile.How to make the flat position like image 2, I can move my segments in this direction

Can a Design Template be changed from Landscape to Portrait format?

Hi Folks, I have few question related to Creo schematics as below.1. How to restrict the terminal connections? is it automated or manual? 2. How to show the component label in 2Dschematics & 3Dcabling?3. Real time mass of Harness?4. Do we get the branded or industry standard catalogues like wise TE connectivity with 4 connection ports?5. How to we customize of create our own catalogue in schematics?It would be really helpful to get the answers for the above questions with specific examples if possible. TIANaresh

I have schematics design created in Creo schematics 8.0. Some connectors are located on sheet 1 and some are on sheet 2. Wires are connected between this connectors using highway.I have more than 3 sheets in this design and want to export selected components from two sheets in one xml. While exporting this design if i select "Selected",  components from active sheet only gets exported although i have selected components from second sheet also.I want components from both sheets in one xml but dont want to use "Export complete design" option. Is their any other way to do that ? Or is it Creo schematics issue ?

I am using Creo Schematics Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.0.0Not able to map the path which I want to use for Central Catalog and Temp SubmissionHere are the errors that I facedGetting network error

I am using Creo Schematics Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.0.0I have a file which appears to be corrupted it should have 8 design sheets but it will only open 7 of the 8 sheets. The file produces the C++ assert failure which crashes Creo Schematics. We will recreate the design. But how do we prevent this as this message C++ assert failure, appears more frequently with Creo Schematics 7.0 (was never in Schematics 4.0). And the design has internal error 002 when you open it. But cannot do design check to repair because it gives C++ assert failure and crashes. How to resolve or work around this issue?Here are the errors that I facedInternal Error 002, C++ assert failure

Is there any way to propagate Creo Schematic drawing parameter to Windchill? Please suggest 

I have a 3D PDF that I received from the supplier. Is there any way that I can open it in Creo Parametric, similar to the Step file. Would it be possible to save that file in Creo Parametric?

Is it possible to add a picture (JPEG) in Creo schematics?

I am using Creo Schematics 9.0 and Windchill 12.0. I want to load my central catalog in Windchill, set the Windchill path as a root folder, and access library items from Creo schematics. Is it possible? If it's not possible, what is the best solution to access the central catalog when users are located across the different geographies?

Hello;          I need to create dxf files from SolidWorks, & pull them into Creo for a cgm file output. One problem I had was the dim arrows are filled in SW & also in the dxf file, but when I import them into Creo they're not filled, thus not in the exported cgm either. The section line arrows remained filled, but all the dim line arrows were not filled. I posted a question in this gentlemen's YouTube post because the dim arrows are showed not filled in it as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33ZFv_szMAU&t=334s Thanks in advance for any input.Rob_D  Creo 4.0 M060
