Other Creo Products (View/Sketch/Illustrate/Layout/ Schematics and Creo Direct)

  Although I have noticed a wide variety of awkward use of vocabulary over the years of Pro/DIAGRAM to RSD through to Creo Schematics like ‘block’ vs ‘blocks’  (Blocks should have been called Symbols)  LOL , I can contend w/ strange use of the English language.      This leads me to the variety of uses of the word template.     In the directory structure I have set a specific directory for Design Templates yet Creo Schematics title blocks are .she files located in the link below.  Why does Creo Schematics call a template and it can have so many variations.     C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 4.0\M010\Schematics\x86e_win64\creoschematics\template     These are the .she files (the PTC title blocks templates that install stock w/ Creo Schematics)   Ultimately I want to organize my own tile blocks w/ various company logos etc and set custom parameters.   Save and pack the design - File save a copy …

I just found a "PSF" file in our Creo Schematics program directory.  As far as I can find, it is not referenced in any way and the directories referenced in it are not correct. Is this a useful file to set up for configuring Schematics for our users?  If so, what can it do?

Would any of these make sense for an enhancement requests?   1 Since I have to route the  network anyway, why not have the network UI have an option to convert to a bundle and another UI function to pack the individual conductors to follow the bundle (was network) .  Depending upon your perspective a network is by hand and the bundle is by hand so why not make those the same thing?  ie.  route wires to follow bundle or network is the same in the utility.    2 It is my understanding that CAT has an Auxiliary App called 'electric lines'.  Where harness designers can pack wires/conductors inside a bundle. We need that!   3 Fan out is too finicky.  Instead of failing can we simply throw an error instead?     4 When inside the 'Rout Cables' dialog box why can't I use CONT-F or CONT-A to find or select all the wires.  It's 2018    5 Striped wires LOL  but it looks cool.           Ba

Can we be treated like adults and have the option to turn off the various "Are you sure....?" dialogues, or at least default to 'Yes' with a middle click to accept.

Please a command and function to automatically convert assumed missing references to permanent references for features displaced by other features. Lets say you forget to add draft before placing a round. Now you insert before the round to add the draft and the references for the round become assumed (have a orange ball in front). I would like to a right click command that would allow me to select all and or some of the assumed references in the dialog box and make them permanent references. The system has an idea what references I want it to use, now I want to tell it yes go ahead and make those permanent references with out me having to re-route or reselecting them. It would also be nice to have a global menu command to just make all assumed references permanent. This is more of an issue starting with Creo 1.0 and later. Thanks, Don Anderson

Currently PDF export in Creo Parametric saves all shaded graphics in raster.   For DRAWINGs, to get "shaded" PDFs with VECTOR graphics, you need to set to non-shaded view displays (ie: NO HIDDEN) and manually fill (Layout>>Hatch/Fill) and color individual feature surfaces one by one. This is tedious and time consuming.   There should be an export OPTION to directly convert shaded views (in ALL modes; ie: ASSEMBLY, PART and DRAWING) into VECTOR graphics with shaded/rendered areas as distinct FILLED OBJECTS in the assigned part colors with lighting gradients.   Furthermore, this vectorizing option should be given to all vector capable export formats (eg: *.DWG) and more vector graphics export formats should also be added (eg: *.ai from Adobe Illustrator).

Often, new users to the forum fail to disclose the version of software they are using or the extensions they have loaded.   I suggest someone add the appropriate field in our profiles and publish it in our avatar window in posts.   I would also like to know if it would be appropriate to add current maintenance status with an "opt out" for displaying this information.   It would make helping people so much easier

When we want to hatch a closed loop sketch curve, the feature must be done then redefine to offer the possibility to set the hatching option This is not a direct process. Please add this setting directly from the sketch definition.  

I would like to have the Where Used functionality avilable inside Windchill available inside ProE/Creo.

It is pratically impossible to see the difference between a sketch or a datum reference in a sketch: points.CSYS, axis.   Please change the geometric display of datum references.  

Would it be possible to display a Scale in the corner of the screen showing ratio of  Model or drawing that is being displayed on the screen. The scale would automatically change as you zoomed in/out from the Part or Drawing. This would be very helpful for creating intricate parts as it would be easy to know when you are seeing the true size displayed on the screen.   Regards

It would be  very useful for put an internal sketch out of the feature in order to use it for others features  

Since MacOS is more and more popular, PTC should support Creo Parametric on Apple MacOS, just like NX 9.0

Possibility to create text directly in the sketch of surface features like EXTRUDE , FILL and also for the OFFSET feature.   Actually we must do a curve sketch before and in the sketch of the surface feature, do a "Use Edge"....Sometime long...   ...And we can't use a variable text from a parameter: if the text change, the "use edge" feature fail.   (need: a variable groove number on tools....)  

For current funcationality, creo file name only support English and numbers. For NX and Solidworks, both support full lanuguages, for example japanese, Chinese, korean. PTC should provide Creo file name support other language characters to fill customers requirement

Very often I need to open more then one file at once and it isn't possible in Creo Parametric. I think standard selection modes like using <Ctrl> or <Shift> should be possible.

Show release information in Pro/E and Creo title bar, for example show as "Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0" instead of "Pro/ENGINEER", "Creo Parametric 2.0" instead of "Creo Parametric"

If a user asks for a certain function or feature the support should not just write "dear user please open a product idea". Instead the PTC support should "officially" open a new idea and offer the user to vote for it. Doing so I would call customer SUPPORT!   e.g. https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/case_solution.jsp?n=CS158767&lang=en   Please find some more explanation in the following discussion: http://communities.ptc.com/message/240782#240782

In the "New" dialogue box in Creo change the label of the "Name" field to be "File Name" since that actually what it is.  Then it will be consistent with what Windchill calls "File Name". Secondly, change the "Common Name" title in the dialogue box to be simply "Name", again this would make it consistent with what Windchill labels "Name".  Not having these two attribute titles consistent between these to tools that are intimately integrated has caused untold amounts of discussion/confusion and mistakes.  

Allow spaces in filenames.  Yeah, it's simple.  Make PTC software save files like every other software on the planet.

In general, we save a copy the file, just want to modify the saved a copy file and keep the original file. So PTC neeed change the save a copy behavior the same as the other software, for example Microsoft office and 3-rd 3D CAD Solidworks, after save a copy the file,  open the saved a copy file in session automatically.

Now launch Creo parametric, creo direct, creo schematics, creo Illustrate, creo view only via separate shortcuts. Unable to launch other application from existing launching application, I think PTC should provide the ability to switch between all the applications "on the fly", for example, switch from Creo Parametric to Creo Direct ,Creo View MCAD or Creo Illustrate, just like CATIA style. Or can launch other applications from one existing application.

Need help here.. When I Rotate Model with Y rotation 3D Image is not rotate from there positon.   I Need to update 3D Image position along with modelItem

Looking to a way to indicate the location of the other end of fibers using cross sheet graphics that does not use the row/column text.  Some uses of our designs do not keep the border with the rows and columns shown.   I am looking to use something like P21-A SHEET 2 or K12 P21-A SHEET 2We use a hybrid design system where K12 is the parent of connector P21 and A is the port id within P21. We require that the designers NOT duplicate the connector numbers, so just using that and the port will identify the connection location but adding in the component would make it easier for the user to find it on the design.

I'm working in creo schematic 2.0, m020.  How do I get the fiber labels to move with the fibers?currently when I move a fiber the label stays in the old location and doesn't move with the fiber.thank you
