It is very difficult to align the ends of the fan out portion of a fiber to a grid that is used to align fibers on the diagram.  Many times it requires a short section of a fiber to be added to link it to the grid which then blocks the automatic placement of a label for the fiber.  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS283485 'Warning "Fiber segment is too short for fiber W-# to correctly display label." when changing the label location in Creo Schematics'   Unfortunately, the proffered "solution" is unworkable.  "Workaround- Modify the fiber to increase its length so that label can be displayed"Doing that either requires that the main part of the fiber be kept off grid to the location the fan out creates or that the short, odd angle, extension be lengthened to take up much more space and put the label in an awkward location.   The only real work around I have been able to find is to create a label elsewhere along the fiber and move it into the desired pos

Bonjour,   Le logiciel PTC EXPRESS ne se lence plus.  Problème (proxy name) que dois-je faire pour que sa fonctionne a nouveau merci.

Hello,     Since we were using Palo Alto VPN service and windows for connecting to company's servers when  working outside the company and it was working ok   Now we started using Windows with Direct Access to remotely connect to the company server. Now the files on the server can be seen normally, but the Creo cannot connect to the license. The output is that Creo does not start.   When contacting support in our country, they said, that Direct Access is working on IPV6 protocol, which is not supported in current version of Creo 2.0 M120.   Please fix this!!!!

Every model I open has this same distortion. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still have this issue. This issue occurs on even the smallest file sized models.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  when i first open the model everything is fine until i drag the mouse courser over the model. I am using creo view lite 4.1

when I save a file as stp in the Creo view 4.1, it changed the parts automatically. LH picture shows my original file structure the RH picture is what I saved in the 4.1.    No this issue in the creo view 3.0 before. 

Show the diameter or radius symbol directly in sketcher.

Hi All   We are trying to find out if anyone is using Windchill and CreoView successfully on a windows tablet   Our plan is to have a tablet connected to our Windchill server then while out in the production shop we can get the CreoView model and do a flythrough on location   what we want is how easy is it to navigate CreoView fly-through on a tablet. what are your recommendations on which is the best windows tablet for this purpose   many thanks   David

I need to add Creo Illustrate to my existing Windchill system but I cannot find any documentation to talk me through it. Does anyone have some documentation I can access or is there some on PTC site?  Or is this a project for a 3rd party?  Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

Is there a way to be sure that this dialog box is always visible?  this happened when connected to windchill thanks for any help   Vero

I nedd information about procedure to reduce pvz file using ILLUSTRATE or PVS CHANGE UTILITY.  

Sample Code:   I'm looking for some sample code written in JAVA 1.7 to interface to schematics. I want to update a parameter on an artifact that I have in the schematics using JAVA. There are really no examples to follow. I would be happy with the standard "Hello World" code just to see if I could get the code to work through the gateway interface.

Hi,   if i try to import an .asm file in creo illustrate, nothing happens. If i try it again it says "you already have imported this file"   I converted this file from Solidworks - it can be opened in Creo Parametric just fine - why not in Illustrate?   Any suggestions?   Regards

I am a Technical Writer. We use Creo Illustrate to make our graphics.   I have been trying to get Creo Illustrate to output a view from inside a machine in perspective view.   The process of making a .svg file fails at 82% completion.   Any suggestions.   nlewis    

Extract from tutorial : About Autorouting In order to automatically route cables or wires without manually choosing From and To entry ports, you must establish a logical reference. The reference can be to an XML file that is exported from PTC Creo Schematics, a Diagram file or a wire list text file in a supported format.   Does this mean that is it possible to autoroute wires in CreoParametric using logical data from CreoDiagram? I'd greatly appreciate an answer, thank you!

Hi,   is it possible to define a joint in Creo Illustrate? It would help me for further sequences.   Like a concentric binding between to round elements or lock two parts together and allow just the rotation around one axis.   Thanks

I have a model in Creo 4.0 (academic edition) with an image pasted onto a filled sketch. The image is visible when modelling and when shaded with reflections is enabled and when ambient occlusion and scene background is selected.  The screen grab below shows the image (green plant) is displayed. As soon as I enter Applications > Render studio, the plant image disappears.  I've tried all of the lighting presets in Real-time settings. Thanks

Dear PTC, Don't use single letter as mapkeys,please.Even since CREO4.0,by default ,a letter is used as a mapkey ,such as,in Parametric ,your use X as the mapkey for Extrude .Because you used "X" and ranked the first ,so I can't use  a combination of X prefixes,for example, "XA" or "XX". When I press down "X" ,creo4 running the "X" program ,not running the "XA" or  "XX" .And ,you can only fitting 26 (from a to z) mapkeys .If you can use 2 letters as mapkeys ,A lot of combinations ! Like me ,I use "cs"  as the mapkey for Extrude ,WHY? C=creat  S=solid , such as ,"rs" r=rotate  s=solid ,"sg"=sketch line ,but I don't use "L" ,because ,L is on the right hand ,thinking ,Wubi input method,G=horizontal ,so ,"g" instead of "L" ;such as "hh"= hide ,"bh"=back hide ,etc. If you need, I will upload me more mapkeys .All on the left hand ,Looking forward to your reply. ths! 您好，PTC 请不要使用一个字母做为CREO的快捷键。从CREO4开始就有一个字母作为快捷键。你们使用了X做为拉伸的快捷键，我们就不能使用X开头的组合，比如：XA or XX。因为当X按下时就执行了X的拉伸

Hello!   I created a 20 second animation.  During the 20 second animation, I would like 5 annotations (text with a leader line) to fade in and fade out in a sequence during the animation.  I cannot add my annotations to the Keyframe Editor.  Once an annotation is added, it remains "on" for the entire 20 second animation.  I would like annotations to turn off and on during the animation.  Thoughts?  Is this possible? 

Goodmorning to everyone. I am a beginner about Creo. I have a trial version about Creo Illustrate with a license that is expiring this evening 15/12/2017. I have only one question: Is it possible to make any object movements (for example a robot rotation) with some links between two or more parts? Because my aim is to make some video in which my robot has to make some movements.  Do I have to move every part or is there a fuction that links two objects?   Thanks for your time Best regardes.

Increase the line thickness of sketched geometry to make it easier to see.

Has anyone used the direct connection between Creo Illustrate and Windchill that comes with Illustrate 4.1? What are the pros/cons you've experienced with the direct connection?  I prefer the concept of a workspace in WWGM where we can do work before uploading that to commonspace in Windchill. I'd like feedback before we commit to upgrading to 4.1.

Hi,   Recently i was watching the following great video, here: 3d view from Virtual Interconnect, and was supprise to see that creo schematic has a 3d view of a connector. What is the proces to achive it ? or it is just an import of a dwg ?   Will be happy to hear your inputs   Many thanks,
