We are seeing quite of few check and check out errors . It is not allowing users to check out items even if they were the ones to last edit it. Is there a way to force check in either in windchill or Creo Illustrate .If Creo crashes while a file is checked out, it cannot be checked in but also cannot be edited by the owner. Have to copy and paste the entire thing into a new CAD file and delete the bugged one    

HelloI want to know about the compatibility of illustrate and creo version.For example, would it be a problem to work on illustrate 9.1 with the results you worked on creo 8.0 version?I would appreciate it if you could give me a document or answer related to this.Thank you.     

Good morning,  I have a sample STEP AP242 file that I have opened in Creo View 8 and none of the annotations are displayed.  I have the annotation filters checked and I have updated the step2pv_import3D.rcp to include these three lines:adapter/outputAnnotPlaner=1adapter/outputAnnotFloat=1adapter/outputAnnotScreen=1I can open the STEP file in Creo Parametric and the annotations are visible.  I then save the Creo file as a PVZ and the annotations are visible in Creo View.  I cannot see the annotations when opening the STEP file in Creo View.  Any suggestions?     

Hi everyone,do you have experience to format the xml for the Creo Illustrate title block?I would like to create what you see in image attachedalternatively you could take the image and place it in the lower right corner.Thank you,Matteo.

When assemblies are updated from Inventor in Illustrate, parts are positioned incorrectly. Apparently, the transformation is taken from a deleted part. This problem does not occur with PVZ files from Creo.Do any of you have experience with Inventor and Illustrate?    

New Creo Schematics user. I'm trying to add a jump or bump to show cables that are not connected.Anyone know a procedure on how to go about doing it? Thank you

Hello,   I am user of Windchill 11.2 and CreoView 6.0.  What I am curious about is when we open up structures from Windchill into Creo View, sometimes there are items that will not visualize.  Which I know there is many reasons for this as I have become proficient at figuring this out.  The problem I have is finding these out.  Some of our structures can be over 1500 branch links and I really don't want to click through each branch link (or expand by all levels) to find these.  Is there a way to search or sort by items without a checkmark next to the item?  See picture of example.  Thank you for any feedback.

Hello everyone, We are creating a Searchquerydict.xml in the path %appdata%\PTC\ProductView with the help of an excel VBA marko similar the one that can be found here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Using-excel-to-build-simplified-reps/m-p/648567/highlight/true#M1085 The idea is to directly load only a certain amount of children of their "mother" model when starting CreoView.  With the marko/the .xml  we can predefine a MCAD search but we still have to start the search manually by starting the MCAD search and selecting the saved query. As an example of the search we want to predefine please see the attached picture.  B.R.Tobias 

Hello, Regeneration is not happened properly in Creo schematic and i get the Error " Error Occured While loading the Catalog". Reference snap attached. Please suggest to fix the issue   

I can't add a new oriented view.The button is disabled.Why ?

what i should do if i wanna to paint some shapes or fill an colorful rectangle box in Creo Viewer via the Graphics :"Graphics g = axpview1.CreateGraphics(); " in winform apps i can do this ,but it's seems doesn't work in Creo viewer control AxpviewLib.Axpview in winfrom app, the rapint is okay ,you can drawing any things in winform including fill the shape with color    

Arbortext IsoDraw allowed for a visual angle definition via the creation of oriented grids (see included image).  Trying to match these IsoDraw angles via x, y and z orientations in Creo Illustrate but can't come up with the "math" to do it.  

Hello, we download the CreoView-API 19.1  and find samples how to get files INTO CreoView.But our case would be reading CreoView files and extract the geometrie data. So getting access to the mesh elements and the document structure. Is this possible at all? Maybe somebody can guide us to the right documentation regards  Markus 

If I open a MBD model in Creo view, is there a way to have the note text for a flagnote pop up when it is clicked on? This is something I have seen done on 3D PDFs.

So we just installed Creoview 9 last week.   (Just saw the patch notes for 10) Well the patch notes confirmed my spatial searches were messed up. I work with some very large assemblies and usually convert them to PVZ to manuplate them and chop them up on my computer for faster processing and load times.   So I was attempting to do that yesterday and today and the largest file it can make now is around 4.2 Gig and then after that size is reached it just red stops all other parts from being able to load and has that little red dot by the part name.  If I create another file with the missing parts and load them seperately in a creo view it works, But when i try to create another PVZ file from multiple viewables that file then fails to load due to some zip file message and is completely useless all together. Will try to load 10, but if I have the same issues is there an older archive of creoviews to download?

Hello,  as per default, Creo Illustrate names the steps within a sequence "step 1", "step 2" etc. If I insert a new step afterwards at the beginning, it will be called after the last step created, e.g. "step 50", which doesn't make much sense. I now need to rename all 50 steps manually which takes a lot of time. Is there a way to achieve that Illustrate renames all steps in order without "step" - just "1" "2" "3"?My version is Creo Illustrate 9.0

I am using Creo Schematics Release 4.0 and DatecodeM010Hi, I'm trying to import a new design property file into my creo schematic file. But im getting an error I've never seen before which is failing my import. The dialog box displays "Prototype missing for port '1'".Here are the errors that I facedImport failed:Prototype missing for port '1'

Hello all,The explosion lines in the 2D figures do not correspond to the settings and not to the representations in the corresponding 3D figures. The explosion line based on the center line and its values are 4-1-1-1. What could be the reason for this? Thanks and best regardsRamon Bohne

I am using Creo Schematics 7.0 7.0.0.0pdf export does not display properly dashed lines, labels, reports (text is within case on Creo but outside case in pdf export).Only workaround so far is to use third-party pdf printer (time consuming, especially with different documents with multiple pages to print)

I just noticed that a suggestion from 2014 is closed and inactive and its almost 10 years later and nothing has been done. There should be an Adobe Illustrator Export option n Creo Illustrate as there is in Isodraw CADProcesss.  An option to export in vector AI format. Why isnt there?   Why are almost all ideas ignored and not implemented?  Why is dealing with PTC usually an exercise in frustration?   Answering any of these questions would be good and actually surprising... 

I have a connector that has 186 pins and only using 44. I want to cut the connector at the 44 pin location and delete or hide the remainder part of the connector from view. I used to be able to do that in Pro/Diagram, I'm almost sure it can be done in Creo Schematics. Thank you

Is there any way to speed up 3D rendering in Creo View? I am working with a 4K monitor using a mid-range graphics card. Simple models render nice and smooth. However, as soon as it gets into the realm of some 100,000 polygons, the FPS drops off a lot. The only view mode where I can rotate even very complex models smoothly is Wireframe, so it could be that the hidden line calculation is the problem. In Creo Parametric, there seems to be a setting on this: "Fast hidden lines removal", see below. Is there anything I can do to Creo View to improve the issue? To Improve Dynamic Display QualityYou can reduce the amount of calculation that the system performs when dynamically orienting a shaded model by controlling the level of detail at which surfaces are displayed. The result is that the movements of the model appear smoother and better synchronized with the driving force. The effectiveness of using levels of detail (LODs) in a model is dependent on the configuration of
