Hello, I recently updated Creo View 6.1 from 4.0.  I no longer have the markup tab in the ribbon.  Is it hidden somewhere, or am I missing something?   Thanks, Craig

I'm using Illustrate 6.0, and I have not seen this feature since I started in 3.0. While in page size mode (clicking on Size in Figure menu), and you zoom in, Illustrate will zoom in to the center of the page. What I might be working on is at the top or bottom of the page. I would expect to see a scroll bar on the right side of the screen to scroll the page up or down. It doesn't seem to exist. I usually zoom in, pan the page to were I need to go, then zoom out by clicking Fit to Window, then click the Go to Figure View. A scroll bar on the screen would be much better.   Thanks in Advance.

Hello all,   I'm trying to create some sequence in creo illustrate, I have added wrench from object. When I rotate wrench it rotate at center, I want to rotate wrench with tip of wrench is fixed to bolt. PFB PNG for reference.      

Show the diameter or radius symbol directly in sketcher.

Hello, When using "Record Content" and moving or modifying multiple selected CAD items, Creo Illustrate automatically groups the animation tracks for two or more items into a sub-folder. Sometimes it is cumbersome to deal with so many sub-folders, and I find myself right clicking each item and moving it to the higher-level folder (for the sequence step).   Is there a way to disable the automatic creation of animation track sub-folders?   Thanks, Wes

If I create an illustration containing a 3D Solid Edge file with the link option, it updates if I edit the native files from the SolidEdge software as would happen with native Creo Parametric files.Or is there no possibility? ty, Matteo.

If I create an illustration containing a linked 3D Solidworks file, does it update if I modify the files from SW as would happen with Creo Parametric? Are there any other alternatives for maintaining the connection? ty, Matteo.

1.The color of the model open in creo view mobile is different from that open it on computer creo view . 2.Can realize the display of assembly level on creo view mobile,.Or export .PVZ by hierarchy, showing the assembly name rather than the name of the part name. 3.Can you add measurement function. 4,Can be integrated into mobile web pages,like in whidchill web page.   Whether the realization of enterprise oriented development, everything can be discussed. Thanks.

Hi,   My structure Browser has come undocked and won't redock on the side like the Template Browser.How can we reattatch this to the side panel of Creo Elements Direct Modelling?   Thanks,

Hello,   We have a problem with the behaviour of the file open dialog within Creo Illustrate. When user_1 creates a file Illustrate will save it's workspace location in the illustrate file. The location is something like C:\Users\#USERNAME#\.wwgm\.ws\#WINDCHILL_SERVER#\   If a second user is modifying the illustration that's created by user_1 and click on the file open dialog it sees the windchill cache location of user_1 (C:\Users\#USERNAME#\.wwgm\.ws\#WINDCHILL_SERVER#\) and this confuses people.   Is there a solution for this? I tried something with the Creo Illustate standards by myself because on my investigation of this problem I found that this location is stored within the standards.xml of the Illustration (C3DI).

Hello PTC community, I've recently downloaded Creo View Express (Version 13.1.0.26 6.1.0.0) and for some reason I can't get the middle mouse wheel to spin the model.  My model is also one of the test examples from the PTC Creo View site.  When I click on the Spin Center icon (Automatic Spin Center) and then click into the space, when I move the middle mouse wheel, all that happens is that the model zooms in and out.  All other functions in the viewer seem to work fine, and I can't understand why this basic command isn't working for me. I've searched all the Youtube help videos and online support, along with this video 'An Introduction to Viewing 3D Models in Creo View' and still no luck.  If anyone could help me, I would be grateful.   Kind Regards David

Using Crew Illustrate, is there a way to LOCK a figure so that the BOM and the figure view cannot be changed? I create multiple figures within a working model for illustrations and would like to LOCK a figure once its completed.

I work with very large assemblies, its very efficient to visualize them on Creo View and make annotations of the parts and assemblies of your interest. How I can import/migrate the annotation on Creo View to Creo Parametric? (turning on component/assemblies of your interest in Creo Parametric is very time consuming). Thanks for your help.

Hi together,   in Creo View on my iPad I see a sandwich button (green circled in picture) in the pre-installed example for opening a overview of all views. I've loaded a pvz from Creo Illustrate 6.0 with several views and sequences onto the iPad. I can open it, but the Button is missing, I can only see one view. Can anyone help?   Cheers whity    

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.

When I create an Annotation with a leader line and I assign it the color Black (RGB 0,0,0), for some reason the leader will layer itself above the rest of the annotation and the halo. But when I change the leader line to be RGB 1,1,1 the line will be layered under the annotation and the halo. But, this only happens when I create an SVG. The PDF looks fine. The Figure on the screen looks fine. It's just when I save it to an SVG. Why does it behave this way? This created much confusion for me. Unless I'm doing something wrong.   Thanks in advance.

When Publishing to say SVG or PDF from Illustrate 6.0, the filenames get l-SVG - and .en added, or l-PDF - for the PDF files. I can't seem to find this anywhere in documentation, but I'd like to stop it if I can. Can this be changed in some config file? I name all my figures to a specific naming structure, but these added characters add more work for me to remove them. I created a script to rename the files that takes a few seconds, but I'd rather not have to do this every time.

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'm having an issue where I have a wheel and tire assembly. I'm manually doing the item list. I'm needing the wheel and tire assembly to be grouped in one number, then i need to number the parts that go into that assembly like whats pictured. Any thought on how to do this properly? 

When using insets (detail views of part or subassy's) one would expect that the inset cuold be set to a sertain scale. In and until illustrate 6.1 it is not possible to set an inset to a specific scale.    My idea would be to implement and scale factor according to the main imported 3D file. 

Hello   CREO Drawing module fails to me with respect ease of use when creating assembly instruction. I consider using some extra software to hekp me make those instructions faster. There is Creo Illustrate. So far I found it intresting however I was told it does not create bom tables nor help to manage/edit/modify them. This is big issue to me and big miss. Second one is a price wich for annual period is bigger than my CREO Essential package proce (missing only AAX, ISDX, BMX,)   did any one of have any experience with Illustrate or any other software?

Nowadays, once Creo VIew opened a file, then this file is always being using, can't be deleted. It's better to add a close file or clean memory function in Creo View. Thanks!

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?    

When PTC dropped the support for the Creo Illustrate Workgroup Manager, there is no support for searching for GDD (Illustration Source) and nor for the C3DI file from the Creo Illustrate application. When importing a GDD from Windchill, the user needs to navigate the folders in the Products/Libraries to find it. Many companies have a lot of Products/Libraries (in some cases hundreds of them). Also, when opening an existing C3DI file, the user needs to browse the folder structure in Windchill from Creo Illustrate to open it.  I propose adding functionality to search for and import GDDs from Windchill inside Creo Illustrate and also add support for "Open in Creo Illustrate" from Windchill in the same way as we can select "Open in Creo View".
