When i set up my old design to call the central catalog i get a bunch of errors wanting to rename datatables.  I would rather them use the datatables from the central catalog.   How can this be avoided?   Ive updated the datatables manually in the design to what i put in the central catalog but i still see that it's throwing an error as a duplicate.  I would like a streamlined import.   are there other toggles i can do to streamline the datatables.   If we are forced to rename them can PTC give us a way to rename them all quickly with a formula (similar to renaming in a Creo assy)

When i created my own Template file with ".rsd" & ".rsdt" file. When i create any new connector/variable connector symbol and send it to temporary submission folder and update the same in central catalogue by copy and paste.I cannot edit/delete the same symbol neither in .RSD file or .RSDT file. am i doing the wrong move to update the same symbol which i created in template file ? or i should directly delete the symbol from the central catalogue folder ? when i tried to delete the same symbol in template file am getting the following note in below dialogue box " Cannot edit shape for central catalog item".Please guide me how do i update the symbols in template file after i submit them to central catalogue location.

Hi Everyone,Good Evening, Can anyone tell me how to increase resolution of image in Creo Illustrate 9.1& what is the maximum resolution of image can we achieved from Creo Illustrate 9.1 Thanks in Advance. Regards,Aditya Gupta.

Hello, When a Model Checker provides Markup in Creo view for a MBD CAD model in an specific combination state (View State) then the markup is displayed in all the other combinations states (View states), This is creating lot of confusion while reviewing the model and unnecessary markups getting displayed in other combinations states (View states). Is there a workaround which will allow the mark ups to hide when we switch from one combinations state (View states) to other.     

We also discussed this topic during last RSD Tech community meeting, We need connector MATE TO information from the Creo schematics. This will help us on wire tracing during troubleshooting purpose. Please see attached doc for more detail. Appreciated if anyone has any thoughts. Thanks

I am new to creo and the creo family of products. When I create a cdi from the pvz and attempt to save the illustration, create a mp4, etc., I get the manifest is missing error. I am working on a pvz on my desktop outside of plm to experiment with animations as my company is working towards adding animations to for our service techs. I found an older topic about deleting the cache to fix this error by going to %APPDATA%\pts\illustrate, but I cannot find this location in CREO 10. It has become frustrating as I put work into these animations and I basically am losing all my work. Thanks in advance.

what is the purpose of the mark up tab in Creo viewer. If you can't save the mark up that were created in the 3D model in the viewer? I've added leader notes to the model, and I want to send it to a co-worker. So he can see my notes. He can only see the model but not my notes. He also would need to rotate the model for other notes. in back. Is it even possible?      Thank You Juan

Is there a way to update the description text in the Sequence feature? Such as font size, color, etc.

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knew if there's a way to define a parameter for the pvsoptimize tool to remove small parts from a pvz that are below a threshold based on a measurement instead of comparing its size to the rest of the product? Currently, the parameters I can use for removing small components looks like: adapter/removeTinyComponent=1adapter/removeCompSizeFactor=0.008 but I was wondering if there was something else besides "removeCompSizeFactor" that I could enter. Or even more helpful would be just a list of every parameter that pvsoptimize would recognize in a recipe file. Thanks!

Is there a way to unlock the symbols in the symbol library and edit the text description?

We have Windchill PDF Collaboration License running in Windchill 12.0.2.13 for use in Marking Up PDFs, along with other image files such at Tiffs, in Creo View 8.0.0.0 build 27.One of the reasons we want this functionality, is to blank over certain text within an stored Documents, for sensitivity purposes.With the Tiff files, we can create a Shape Box and Edit Properties for the background Colour to be white and the border shape/size to drag it over an area to be blanked – perfect.However, with PDF’s we can edit the Shape colours to be white but without the Edit Properties, we can’t make it Opaque.With a Text Box the defaults can be changed to white background and white Line Style – Line Colour. But this requires going back and too the default options page, rather than simply editing the properties of the shape/text box within the graphics.We also tried creating a Blank White image and imported it as a Stamp. This works ok but we cannot resize the proportions, it can only be ‘scaled’ w

Maybe this is a new feature request. But is there a way to include measuremnt features like 3D thickness analysis in exported pvz files from Creo?

   In using Creo Illustrate with PTC Creo View Files Tools for publishing, The "PVZ" output file doesn't allow watermarks to be published. We have Windchill / model security labels "ATTRIBUTES/PARAMETERS" that don't publish.   I created our watermarks ini files using the old "ProductView Watermark Editor", The ini files work for Creo View and Creo Illustrate independently. The only impact is generating a Creo Illustrate generated pvz the watermarks are not visible in our files. We would like the watermarks to be published using our output of Creo Illustrate. We have our Windchill lifecycle designs, security labels that we would like to preserve on our Figures and screen sequences .

Hello,is it possible to zoom 3D views more than 400%?I have a large screen, and with small image dimensions (e.g. 7.5x4cm) the rest of the screen area remains unused.  And for certain orientations, zooming in further would help me.  Thanks and best regardsRamon

Hi,  I only have access to Creo View Express.  I need line drawings, but when I try to print to pdf from HLR, the lines on the printed pdf are very weak.  Any suggestions on how to improve the line weight or other parameters that would work?  Thanks and best,  Eva

Hello every one, sorry for a stupid question but could please anybody here give me a hint or a link to download the installation file for Unix version of Creo View Express? All I was able to find were CVE Adapters for Unix, which we were unable to run on Linux. Or does anybody know how to run CVE on Unix correctly? Thank you all!

My PVZ file was updated with replaced parts. The animation in my creo illustrate model does not recognize the new parts. The parts were replaced in the edit structure mode. How do I update the animation so that it recognizes the replaced parts?

I have a large and heavy assembly with a bunch of parts hidden in my PVZ view. I want to be able to open component parts in a new view and change colors and then propagate those changes to the window where i have my view with all the hidden components. If i isolate it in the main view with the hidden components and recolor (Trying to recolor individual surfaces, not entire part), I cannot get my view back with the hidden components easily.

Please see https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS311063.It turns out View Adapters are currently not supporting different representations for publishing Inventor assemblies and always visualize "Master Rep" only.It is even documented that way in "Creo View MCAD Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide", see the attached screenshot. Sadly that's not acceptable for our users and use-cases within Windchill. Designers expect the published assembly to look like they saved it, showing the active representation in Inventor, not always Master. It's dangerous too, because components might have to be surpressed, different color-encodings are used for certain components, etc. All is lost by blindly visualizing "Master Rep". Please consider implementing proper behaviour (like implemented for Creo) in a future release. Thanks!

I am looking to see if its possible to delete this "Root" designation in the PVZ. Highlighted in picture below.

We are upgrading to Creo 10.0.X and looking to adopt the 2018 standard, does the GD&T product support this version? If so where can I find that information.   Thanks.

I am using Creo Schematics Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.0.0Needing to update the schematics catalog and need someone to help walk me through the process

I've been having an intermittent issue when applying datasets to objects in Schematics. I have my own datatable for connectors and have used this datatable in the past (as recently as yesterday) to apply datasets to objects in Schematics, but yesterday when I tried to set an objects dataset, I got the error:   ?msg_err@ >>>> error <<<<?msg_err@ Can not apply this dataset: at least 1 member is invalid: W501-P5!BP1 (No mapping)   The object is the "Plug" variable object included in the DemoDB and I'm having the issue in both block (BID) and wiring (WID) sheets... The weirdest part is that I have successfully applied the dataset to other Plug objects on the same sheet, but now I just get this error. I've started blank sheets and sometimes the same error crops up, and sometimes it doesn't (and sometimes it will work for a little bit and then stop working...).   Any ideas how to get around this?

For large assemblies, the frames of the inserts are not displayed reliably.You can see this behavior clearly in the attached picture.Both anchor points were placed at the same height.If you scale the display, both frames are visible or only the right or only the left one.Is there a workaround so that the frames are displayed reliably?

Hello all, Is there a function that can be used to align the guide lines of callouts horizontally or vertically? In the attached image, I have only aligned the lines by hand. Unfortunately, this takes longer and is very imprecise.
