We need more advanced options to control the explosion lines. In Creo Illustrate 4.0 it is only possible to control the start and end of the explosion line. It would be interesting for the user to have an improved control on the line to determine what is the path traveled by explosion lines. Like the image attached

We're trying to use Creo View to capture screen shots for documentation but extra lines are showing up in Creo View that don't appear in Creo Parametric:   These lines appear to be where Creo Parametric splits each of the cylindrical surfaces: Does anyone know if it's possible to either turn off the display of these lines in Creo View or configure the Creo View Adapters so they don't get published?

Hi,I am using PTC Windchil and after selecting the model i wish to view and manipulate from Windchil, CreoView just opens as a black screen. It was working fine on the friday and yesterday the problem appeared.HELP!!. Thanks in advance.

Is the SVG-code from CREO Illustrate customizable? I would like to change attributes to what defines hotspots so they can be recognized by our CMS.   Illustrate uses visibility hidden and class hotspot hotspot_1. <path stroke="none" fill="#FF0000" visibility="hidden" fill-rule="nonzero" pointer-events="all" id="ID_1033" class="hotspot hotspot_1" I want to group the hotspots and use id in below fashion. Instead of visibility hidden use style opacity. <g id="hotspots"> <path id="id1_hotspot" style="opacity:0;fill:#FFFFFF;" This is a way one can do it with Adobe Illustrator - but a step we would gladly eliminate.   We are also planning to use Windchill to save our work and then make WNC copy the SVGs to an area for pickup by our CMS. Maybe its possible to transform it in that step using WNC?   Meddelandet redigerades av: Ola Hermansson Spelling mistakes

I prefer to set all my applications to display as dark as possible to make them as easy on my eyes as I can.  Office 2016 is set to black, Visual Studio is set to dark, my Creo graphics window back ground is set to a dark color, but the surrounding window elements like the ribbon, navigation pane, status bar, etc. are all bright white or light gray.  I'd like to see themes implemented to darken these window elements.  I mostly use Parametric, but I'm assuming this is the same across all Creo apps.

In Creo 3.0-m110 the install guide says to use this syntax like this to do a silent install: start /w "CreoView_Express_32_64.exe" /vADDLOCAL="ALL" /qn APPLICATIONFOLDER="C:\ptc\Creo 3.0\CreoViewExpress" The problem is, in the downloaded files the target file of this command isn't a .exe, it's a .msi.The command that works has this syntax: "Creo 3.0-m110 software\install\addon\pvx32_64\pvexpress\CreoView_Express_32_64.msi" /passive But I don't know how you would define the path for the install.The default install location is:C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.1\View ExpressIs there a way to define the target folder or am I stuck with the default?

It would be very useful if a sketch could be placed on a CSYS with the view direction defined by Z and oriented with X to the Right.   Occasionally, I will have a pattern of extrude features that have different clocking. My current practice is to define a pattern of coordinate systems, then define a datum plane on the X-axis of the CSYS so the sketch in the extrude is oriented properly for each instance. This proposal would eliminate the need for the extraneous datum plane.   This could also be useful for creating odd-angle extrude features. A single offset CSYS can be turned and twisted as needed and then a sketch could be created without the need for two additional datum planes.

Hi all,   I have a simple drawing in Creo 2.0 of a cylinder which is half sectioned along it's centreline. If I create a detailed view of an end, then the half section line dis-appears. This never used to be the case - any idea what's happened and how I can get it back?   Image attached to illustrate my point.

I am encountering an error when trying to install Creo Illustrate 3.0. Please see attached screenshot for the error window. I have also attached the error log. Please reply with questions or possible solutions.

Dear Creo Users,Kindly be informed that recently I have been using Creo 2.0 . There is a good option in Creo called Palette in Sketch mode. There are certain shapes like polygon, i-section etc. which are very helpful to draw different and difficult mechanical parts in Creo. Are there any new developments or updates like any new shapes in Creo sketch Palette  in newer versions like creo 3.0 and creo 4.0?With regards,Soumya Bhattacharya

I have an issue with Creo Illustrate 3.0 that is annoying more so than fatal!After producing any animation which contains annotations, never more than 20 or so annotations per file, I can export the file and save it as a .wmv as usual. No problem.My issue is that when I go back to the original file, I find that a lot, but not all of the annotations and Markup 1's appear grayed out in the Key Editor. This means that I have to redo those particular grayed out entries if I need to edit the original file. It is very time consuming to have to re-invent the wheel every time I need to edit a file to produce another animation.I have had some helpful feedback from PTC regarding this issue but hasn't fixed the problem. I was told to rename the User Preference file in the Application Data, which I did, but the issue remains. This is an example of what I am seeing... Perhaps someone has come across this issue and has a fix? Any help or assistance would be appreciated!Thanks...

HelloI do a test simply with a washer, see the sketch enclosed.I do the simulation with the whole puck and then with half of the puck as well as half of the load.And I get not the same result to Von Mises:Entire puck 750.0 [MPa]Puck half 642.0 [MPa]When you cut a piece in half to do more than the symmetrical connection.Kind regards.Denis

We would like the ability to use Pro/TOOLKIT to get the geometry of a wire harness made up of cables and tapes. Currently, you can get the cable geometry but not the tape geometry. For example, the picture below shows a wire harness with several cables and tapes. We can get the tessellated geometry that represents each cable via the Pro/TOOLKIT function ProCableTessellationGet But cannot get the tessellated geometry of the 6 tapes. The Pro/TOOLKIT function ProHarnessTessellationGet provides geometry for the entire wire harness, i.e. all the cables and the tapes as one, united tessellated mesh. However, that does not get the finer granularity, i.e. a tessellated mesh for each cable and each tape.

Every time I launch Creo View 3.1 from Windchill 10.2 into an Internet Explorer 11 tab, I get the scrollbars to show up on the right and bottom panes.  To remove them, my workaround is to maximize the page and then minimize again.  Does anybody know the settings in Internet Explorer or Creo View to prevent this from happening?  The bottom scroll bar hides the information that I want to see or select!

How is the rendering capability of Creo Illustrate 3.0?I have seen PTC demos for Crep Illustrate but it hardly talks about rendering capability of the software.Can we have high resolution graphic images output from the software for use in marketing / sales.

In this tutorial i show you how to pattern a hole along a curve. If you would like to download the model to follow along please go here.     (view in My Videos)

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.  

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 that have h

Hello all   As far I know, since beginning of Pro/E, a CAD volume has been always a “divided” surface. An extruded (or other construction) part will always have two faces that can be selected. Usually – but not always – most of the time the CAD interprets it as a unique surface. Thus this is not a major problem.     However I have some times meshing problems exactly  in the interface of these surfaces  - especially if it is located in a bad position in an assembly forming for example a sharp corner.   My current issue is that my mapped mesh is getting too complex due to this characteristic. I´m trying to create a mapped mesh in a contact region. However this native split is being considered inside Simulate and the consequence is that I have to mesh a more regions and even worst – to create more contact regions. I consider a good contact mesh a mesh that has common elements in both sides of the contact. This is usually possible only if the mapped mesh patt

Just wondering whether IsoDraw CAD Process has any options or methods to show Section Views/ Ortho projection views of 3D Models?I use CREO 2.0 currently to get section views.Thanks, Aravind

I'm a beginner.  I trying to learn Creo so I can teach it to 5-11 Grade students in Russia.   I'm trying to make a 3D model to illustrate xyz plane concept as top, front, right concept.   As you can see, the front plane is not flush with right plane.  Once I've gotten an all gray OK'ed model I can't seem to get it back into a modify mode so I can correct this mistake.

An imported .pvz file couldn't be colored in Creo Illustrate as one entity when selected. Only selected geometry can be dyed.   This behavior is only by surface geometries. Workaround to solve this Problem is Export Geometry as a STEP file and import it and the coloring is possible as one entity when selected. The workaround is not acceptable because to much steps for ex- and Import. Next the whole geometry must be checked for completeness. The whole thing takes a lot of time and who has it already?  

Hi,A very quick question: How can you move the Transform Dragger so that it appears in a zoomed view of a large assembly? Quite often, I need to transform the location of a large object, but need to look at a detailed zoomed view while moving the object, but the Dragger could be located at some distance from the required view. I know I have seen the answer to this before but can't find it!Thanks in anticipation,Brian

Hi,   I created a sequence in Creo Illustrate and want to import it as .pvi file in Vuforia Studio, but I do not know how to do it.   Someone knows how to create the file .pvi ?   Thank you very much for your help.
