If the Parameter pane is open, using Refit Sheet to view the entire sheet defaults to zooming it to fit the window as if the Parameter pane is close hiding the bottom of the sheet. There is an icon in the upper right of the Parameter pane that looks like Clicking on it tells Schematics that it should refit the sheet in the remaining part of the window. If you want to return to the "hide the bottom section" setting, the icon changes to  that you can use to change the setting back to default.    

Hi all, is it possible to change the thickness of callout circles in Creo Illustrate? I found nothing in the community or Knowledge base of PTC.

I have a placed jt file in a idr file. I want to create an enlarged view of a detail. Can I place an elipse over the placed file and trim it so the lines in the ellipse are still displayed?Bryon

Greetings, In Pro-diagram - We used to select the one or more highways at a time using the drop down menu at the bottom of the sheet.    How to select multiple highways at a time or at single click in Creo schematics 3.0?   Thanks, Ramesh

Normally in creo view once you set your default printer, then creo view remembers each time your print so you don't have to keep selecting. A user is selecting his default printer, but when trying to print in creoview it is showing another printer as default. I assumed he was clearing cache on exiting IE but that was not the case. Has anybody else experienced this issue?

Hello All,   I noticed a glitch (or easily made mistake) with visibility of an assembly. Imagine you have a tool composed of parts A, B & C. The actions below are all completed within a single step of a sequence:   Fade In tool (make visible) Unscrew portion C from the tool Fade out C Perform animation with the tool Fade out entire tool (assembly)   The issue with this, is that C gets faded out twice, since it is contained within the assembly -- and this confuses Creo Illustrate - so a glitch occurs. This is expressed by C appearing visible from the very beginning of the step. Sometimes I've seen this glitch expressed later in Vuforia Studio (after exporting the PVZ file) rather than Creo Illustrate.   This may not be a common issue: My assembly is a vacuum pump with hundreds of components and many layers of sub-assemblies. There are also multiple special tools used in overhaul, and some of these tools have attachments that must be removed or added. The workar

Hello,   Maybe I'm missing something obvious-- but each time I create a new figure, the sequence within my already created figure is erased. Is there a step where I need to save this? The program is behaving oddly:   1) Create Figure 1 with a sequence of 10 steps 2) Create Figure 2, and suddenly all the steps disappear from Figure 1 3) Save a copy of Figure 1, all of the steps reappear - with all 3 Figures now having the same steps 4) Delete or add a step from one figure, and the change is reflected in the other two figures 5) Create another new figure. All the steps disappear again from the other figures (why?)     Thanks for your help, Wes

Create a section. Open the  2D view, and create some measurements,  add some notes etc... in this 2D view. Save the section as an annotation : the box "include section" is checked.  When I open later on this annotation, the section is here, the cut plane and its position are kept, the  2D view is here but all markeusp (measurements, notes etc.. ) made in 2D view are lots. If i took some measurements int his 2D, With the cut plane at this position it is because this measurement is important to see or may be critical froma design point of view.  Annotation is an ecellent way of sharing between collegues but in this case lots of relevant data are lost.   This fucntionality is very importabnt for our daily activity  :designer, fgeometrical architects, after markets etc.. are requiring markups to be kepts in d view.

Does not matter if the graphic has anything to do with the layer.  May be a problem with other layers being protected.  You can extend fibers across sheets, just not with a graphic.   The error that is given is the generic ">>>> error <<<< Internal Error (001) occurred..." 

The slider in the Custom Lights setting have no values. It would be easier to reuse settings between figures and files if there were values associated with these sliders that could be copied.

I am looking to borrow creo illustrate license to my personal laptop but could not find any borrow application under the bin folder of creo illustrate load path.    Kindly suggest the method to borrow the license of Creo Illustrate.

How do I open and add a .3cdi assembly and add it to an already open .3cdi model?   wnlewis

Hello,   I'm able to Import notes into Creo Illustrate that were created in Creo.   The problem is that the notes import without their leaders. (See Below)   Anyone have an idea why?     Thanks,   ----Bill    

Hello,   Is anyone having issues with model components randomly relocating themselves during animation playback?  This issue is driving me nuts!  I start with a mechanical assembly explode, to display all assembly components.  Then, I fade out all parts except for the initial part.  Process step by process step, I fade in components and rotate, annotate, inset the view on key features, flash, bring in arrows, bring in tools, etc. to create the assembly sequence.  After a couple hours of work, during animation playback, random components will relocate and reorient from its original placement in the animation to some other odd location and orientation in the display view.  This ruins the 2 hours of work to create the animation, because you try to place the component where it's supposed to be, but when you play the animation the component will relocate again to an even more odd location and orientation.  Are there any other Creo Illustrate users tha

We have CAD parts that contain the item's BOM callout number in their metadata. What is the most convenient way to assign the callouts for one level of a BOM to the item number table to create callouts?   Is there any way to edit a callout besides manually making edits to the table?   Is there a way to put the callouts and their positions in order in the table if you manually assign callouts that are not sequential or have multiples? example: 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6, 9, 10 as positions 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 without entering them in that exact order.   What is the best way to identify a specific part twice, such as identifying the part in a figure, and then also in an inset, or identifying both ends of a hose / conduit / tie rod in a complex or confusing view?

Is there any way to either point an inset to a different figure within a PVZ or have the inset display a different sBOM than the view it's drawn from?   Can you import two sets of the same model to create more flexibility? You could certainly show one in phantom while animating / exploding / hiding parts in front of it.   Is there a way to animate an inset without animating the model?   Is there any way to create a viewport from one figure to the next instead of using this seemingly limited inset tool? For example; I create a locator with several annotations for a transmission like "go to pump installation" and by clicking the notation, I can open the pump installation figure? or potentially the pump installation PVZ?

Is there anyway to set the annotation tools to specific orders? E.G. making custom callout and inset tools and then making them the default tool?   Is there a way to add custom page sizes (e.g. D size, A1, etc) to improve translation to isodraw? We find large assemblies are mathing out at terrible visual qualities and would defer to exporting a file well over scale and fitting it to a template in isodraw.   Can you only add "customized" tool bar items to the extra tool set at the very top frame? Or can you add them to ribbon sets? Not having the go to figure view / use current figure view pull down all the time is very inconvenient.

Hi,When saving figures as illustration (SVG or CGM) from Creo Illustrate (3.1 and 4.0), I expect that the final SVG export is an identical representation of what is shown in the graphics area of Creo Illustrate. In my case however, certain paths (not all) of underlying parts become visible in the final SVG export while these are not visible in the Creo Illustrate graphics area. I tried playing around with the different export options (Thick/Thin lines_Surface borders_Enhanced intersections, Segments_Polylines_Beziér paths, ...) but no difference. There are also no phantom parts in my model.Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.

When I publish my Creo Illustrate visualization as PVZ (3D representation) they seem to be empty when my team members try to open them in Productview. The structure tree and everything is empty too. What am I doing wrong?

I have a customer request to do work instruction using Creo Illustrate to create animation if can record voice or sound clip will be good instead of using attached note for video.

In Creo Illustrate, there is an option to turn on/off page size for a figure as long as the Figure as not been set as an animation or sequence. However, after the animation/sequence is selected, the page size control is grayed out and unable to be modified.   This locked area remains on the screen during editing as well as during export meaning any video export at a higher resolution includes a grayed out area around the entire export.   Is there a way to disable the page size without having to recreate the entire animation? Related: is there a way to disable gnomon in animation export the same way it is in image export? Or to batch export each frame as a still image using the Save Figure As > Save as Image file?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how an admin moves artifacts into a central catalog in Creo Schematics. I've tried this several times, and I've gone over the help files several times; but, I'm missing something. I've created a base template, packed, that resides in the catalog directory. From what I understand from what I've read, as an admin, I have to open up the base template, and add the parts from the temporary submission directory (or the artifacts that had been zipped and moved to the catalog directory?). In any event, I have no option in Creo schematics to add artifacts from outside of the current session, and even so, I fail to see how to submit parts to the central catalog. My only option is to add artifacts to the temporary submission. directory. The help center tells me that "to submit a folder and all its contents to the Central Catalog form Catalog Explorer or Datatable Explorer, right-click an item and choose Submit from the shortcut menu or select it and click (package sym

We are trying to start using Creo View more, but the initial view has all the components turned off and when I turn them on the model is at a weird viewing angle.     I'd like to set this up so that the casual user gets a useful view at startup...   I can create an "Annotation Set", but how can I get that to come up as the default view?   Thanks 

When I start Creo View 3.1, it defaults to the "Model" Tab in the upper left column.   Can I get it to default to the "Annotation Sets" Tab so the user would immediately see all the Annotations Sets available?   Thanks
