When looking at a large assembly in CreoView, is there a way to see the MBD annotations for ONLY a particular part or ONLY a particular sub-assembly?  Can you go and pick and choose what annotations to show in Creo View?

I have set up an account to download the free Creo Viewer version, for viewing only. However, when I click on download and try to enter my username: and enter my password which is the one I initially set up, it gives me an error message that the username or password is wrong. If I click on trying to reset password, it brings up a page for me to enter my suer name which is my email, then it asked me to enter the three digit numbers that are underlined in order, and when I do it, it just circles right back to me having to enter my username and the three digit code at bottom. Also please see attachments of when I try to login. The attachments are in order per the steps. 

Hi,Do we have a video which shows the procedure on how to work with Creo schematics multi sheet capabilities. I am not comfortablw with the regular documentation available.TIANaresh

Is it possible to add a hyperlink in a callout in creo illustrate ?

I am using Creo Schematics Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.0.0 When I save a schematic the software closes and saves. The workgroup manager stays open but I cannot reopen the schematic drawing unless I close the workgroup manager and restart from scratch.

I know there are multiple ways to define routing in PTC Creo Cabling, and I would like to clarify the correct approach.I currently have a cable routed from one connector (P1) to another connector (P2). This cable carries VCC power, so I need to branch off this line at some point and route it to an additional connector.What is the correct method to create this kind of branch, especially considering that I will later create a flatten harness for documentation?Here is what I have tried so far:I used a physical splice component to create the split. However, when I create the flatten harness, the splice appears disconnected or “floating.” I also tried adding a location on the cable and routing a new cable from that location to another connector. In this case, Creo reports the cable as incomplete.What is the recommended best practice for:Creating a branch from an existing cable Ensuring proper connectivity Getting a correct and clean flatten harness outputAny guidance or recommended workflow

Hi everyone,How can I get the contour points of an X-section such that if I plot the set of points in excel I can get the exact geometrical shape.

When using Creo View (MCAD) if various faces of an object have been recolored using Home --> Appearance -> color palette,  it it possible to save the recolored object to a PVZ file in such a way that the new color information is retained in the file and again displayed when the PVZ file is reopened?

Hello all,recently bought a Creo Illustrate license and in the PTC Portal we arranged the Licensing Host details (added the name of the notebook and MAC address)The problem i have is that i am unable to start Creo Illustrate, it seems i need a file before i can start the software. Did some checks in Copilot and it mentions i need a license.dat file which i can retrieve from the PTC portal.I am able to find an option called "Retrieve license file" but according to Copilot these are not the correct file which i need. However i am not able to find another option to find this elusive file 🙂 (or is Copilot just sending me to a totally wrong non existent solution?)Thnx in advance

Hi all,can someone explain to me why an empty Creo Illustrate file is so large? I mean, I've always wondered why the files are so large. But I've only just noticed that even my empty CI files (i.e. without a pvz file) are 83 MB in size.That's about the same size as my own ‘standard’ file (that has 83MB) . But of course, my entire symbol library is included in that standard.But it wouldn't make any sense to store the entire symbol library in every CI file!?Does anyone know what's going on here? Best regards,Ramon Bohne(Siemens-Energy)

Hi all,I have a completely new problem with 3D and 2D symbols.This problem appeared suddenly. I never had this problem before. And after I had this problem, it also appeared for a colleague. That's why I decided to ask for advice here in the forum.What is the problem?Suddenly, I can no longer insert symbols. And symbols that I was able to insert before are suddenly no longer visible. Please watch the added video. Perhaps one of you has a good explanation and solution. Otherwise, I will have to contact support ... again. Best regardsRamon bohne(Siemens Energy)

I am switching from IDF to IDX soon and I don't understand the process of uploading files to Windchill after small electrical components have been added to the board from the ECAD side.  On a large board, there are bound to be several small components that are added during the ECAD Validation process. They are valuable to see in the mechanical 3D model because they help with interference checks, but they slow down assembly performance drastically.  Once I accept the components to be added to my assembly, is there a way that I can easily suppress them all so that I don't slow down my computer? Secondly, when I check-in the assembly to Windchill, it tries to check-in the small components as separate parts. Can I stop them from coming in as individual parts? If not, then how can I rename them before exporting them so that we don't run into issues with trying to check-in electrical components with the same name all the time?

Include which software and version you are using!Creo Illustrate 12.1, but any other version missing it tooExplain what you already tried.I miss some of the CGM export profiles, compared to ISO DRAWDoes anybody else having same demand for e.g. S1000D in Creo IllustrateInclude a screenshot Compare Iso Draw 7.4 vs. Creo Illustrate 12.1 Help centerAll not marked missing, especially the S1000D is my demand

I am using Creo Schematics Release 12.0 and Datecode 12.0.0.0When selecting a component on the schematic, previously (in v9.0) the parameter panel would update to show which component was selected, with version 12 however I have to close the parameter panel and reopen it to show which component I have selected to edit its parameters. What's strange is that another users computer does not have this issue with both mine and his installation being brand new.I have already reinstalled 3 times to see if it would fix the issue but it has come back each time, I have also cleared any settings I changed and keyboard shortcuts etc to no avail.There are no error messages in the console.

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'm exploring the idea of automatic view creation, where a program would intake a part number of an assembly, highlight it, and export a capture of that part in the assembly and potentially create a view of it. In order to do this, the following would need to be possible:GUI-less API integration with IllustrateAPI-enabled Camera manipulationAPI-enabled Part search and manipulation (highlight, color, transparency)Are any of these possible within Illustrate? Which APIs can work with Illustrate (Web.Link, J-Link, C/C++ Toolkit)? Best, Charlie

We are using Creo View 10.1.0.0.  I am trying to learn how the two compare tools work (geometry and view state).  I cannot determine how Creo view decides where to place the Compare Report [annotation set].  Sometimes it puts it in the first picked iteration, sometimes it puts it in the second picked iteration.  I saw a video where someone actually had the iterations shown in the primary panel, next to the part file name.  Unfortunately, ours does not show this info.  Is there a way to show it? I was thinking if I knew which was which, I might be able to determine where the report gets saved.

I am having trouble with the scaling on flat-to-screen annotations when publishing a .pvz from Creo for viewing in Creo view. Previously I was using Creo parametric 7, and the flat-to-screen annotations would show up approximately the size in the screen window as I had it set in Creo.  After upgrading to Creo 10, the flat-to-screen annotations shrink and move on publishing. Is there a recipe file setting I can use to get them to scale properly?  Creo Parametric 10.0.8.0Creo View 10.1
