Hello,I am hoping someone is familiar with a way to tie the "color" parameter in block properties to the shape's color representation. I assume there is a need to designate each RGB or whatever value within the shape section with a name select-able within the block properties.

Hello folks,I'm a new user for Creo Schematics (specifically using Schematics Lite 12.0) and I've been trying to modify the sample catalog into a broader Template for my org to use, but I'm having trouble actually saving the Template file such that any of my changes actually stick. My workflow is as follows:Open an instance of Schematics and load in the sample catalog. Delete the provided design explorer sheets.Modify the sheets in Catalog Explorer (simply swap the PTC logo and address for my company's on the A3 sheet, for example)Save As to an RSDT file.Having done that I would expect that when I open a file and point to this newly created Template, the A3 sheet should have the logo and address but it doesn't.What exactly am I doing wrong? The documentation on Schematics is sparse.... Cheers,Boris

Hello everyone, I’m using Creo 8.0.9 and I need to create a sticker adapted to the surface, but for that I’m using a decal.When the sticker is flat, applying the decal is easy, but when it’s curved, it becomes very difficult.Is there a better method?Or is there any parameter in the planar mode that can be set to automatically adapt to all surfaces?  

Hello,😁I am trying to implement Creo Schematics and Parametric for my university's Formula SAE team.Unfortunately I have issue loading the made .csv files back into Schematics.Initially the Datatable csv was fine but now with the Membermap updated, it no longer uploads into Schematics.Under the impression that the Type declared in the parameter of the wires I initially used was the issue, I tried to adjust the $$$datasettype$$$ value of the Datatable to different forms, referencing other wire types but this was not the issue still.I've attached the two Excel files I've put together to this message In hopes someone might understand where issues are arising. As well, here is a link to my original post in case that might be beneficial. I will be working on putting together a datatable set for the connectors (Mostly Deutsch) as to ensure that Creo will be set up far enough that auto-routing is possible even I don't manage to implement it for our Vehicle's CAD, this final semester of

I am using Creo Schematics Release 12.0 and Datecode12.0.0.0I need to draw a functional diagram of a refrigeration system.Is Schematics the right PTC tool?Are there libraries dedicated to refrigeration components?Is there a tutorial dedicated to this type of system?

Is the "Multi-line Text" tool in Creo Schematics very tedious to use, or is it just my experience?I am trying to place a multi-line note, in the Multi-line Text user interface the note looks as I want it to appear on the field of the drawing. However, when I place the note, it adds spaces between lines. I've tried changing the settings in the Temporary Note Properties GUI, but even those settings are hard to understand what they do. Help please

I was able to import the XML from Creo Schematics and autoroute my harness, however, the spools imported by the XML are locked and I'm not able to edit them in Creo. i.e. if I want to change the bend radius or the color or any other parameter in the spool, the spool it's locked. Image on left shows the locked icon and image on right shows unlocked spool    Locked icon in model treeUnlocked icon in model tree

Hello, Currently using Creo View 10.1 Is there a functionality to create section views based off of user defined reference planes that are created from references to points, edges, and planes on the objects being observed?

We’re encountering an authentication issue with Creo View in our shop floor kiosk setup and would appreciate any insights or suggestions. The below issue is observed after configuring Windchill with SSO Environment:Windchill 12.1 with SSO EnabledCreo View 11.1 Setup Overview:The kiosk runs on a shared local Windows account (saaccount)  used by multiple users to log in.Once logged in, users access the Windchill 12.1 application via Chrome and authenticate using their individual Windchill credentials.When they attempt to open a CAD object using the “Open in Creo View” option, Creo View fails to launch and returns the following error:saccount, 500 – You are not a registered Windchill userObserved Behavior: It appears that Creo View is attempting to authenticate using the Windows login (saaccount) rather than the Windchill credentials used in the browser session. Since (saaccount) is not a registered Windchill user, the authentication fails. Has anyone faced a

HelloI noticed that when navigating through the model, you change what you're looking at by moving the model itself instead of your perspective. Meaning: the camera is fixed, and the only thing that moves is the model.I'm looking for a way to navigate through the model (while using a spacemouse) in such a way that the model stays still, and the only thing that's moving is the camera. Think of it like the model is a building, and I'm changing what I see by flying a drone to see what I want. I've been able to approximate the functionality I'm looking for, but what throws me off the most is that the center of camera rotation is always around an object instead of around the perspective of the camera itself.  I'm using Creo View 10.1 with a SpaceMouseI've tried changing my navigation mode to Catia and PTC CreoI've tried changing my view mode from orthographic to perspectiveI've tried both 3D navigation methods "as defined by the general model" and "explore"I've tried inertial spin

I am getting frustrated finding good tutorials for Schematics.  I need to generate a Wiring Diagram(s) for a test rack.  I have to generate multiple complex custom components (artifacts?) with large numbers of connections.  I have done the artwork and have it in .DXF format.  I have fought through and figured out how to load the DXF's into the editor, but I need how to figure out how to take the DXF and do pin assignments and make it a reusable stand alone component to put into a library for reuse.  Does PTC have any online tutorial for Schematic?  I am running 10.0.0.  I find tutorials for some parts of this but they are years old and the instructions don't match the new rev.  This ain't my first rodeo, but the inability to find instructions, or tutorials has me frustrated.

If I use the Crossovers in Creo schematics, How do I manage the crossovers like add & delete what is required? Currently the same added via automatic selection, but we need an option to keep few & remove few. Kindly help. ThanksNaresh 

Hi, I would like to understand if we can add the specific standard electrical libraries from an external sources? If so what is the procedure? Kindy help.ThanksNaresh

There is very little documentation on this.     I have a simple block (in wiring diagram) with 5 ports on it.  Each port has a Label attached to it (labels are not attached to the block but to the ports)   I run single fibers to each port.  I want the Port to grab the "color" parameter (or any parameter) from the wire and that calculated parameter will be pushed to the text label.  It should be easy right?   Thanks in advance!  Patiently waiting....

Are there any additional default system functions to be used for creating derived parameters other than the following:dg_inherit_from_ancestordg_inherit_from_connecteddg_derive_from_enclosuredg_derive_indirectdg_derive_indirect2dg_derive_as_label Can any of these be used to propagate a property value from one port to another? Thank you.

Does anyone have a fix for Creo View not wanting to compare PDFs? I add the PDFs correctly and select them to compare but in the top right the loading wheel just spins and doesn't load anything.

I have several complex components I need to enter into CS.  They have upwards of a hundred pins.  I have the graphic representation in .DXF files.  How can I load the .DXF files and incorporate them?  CREO 11 Schematic. 

Hello everyone, When I select an orientation in Creo View (Home > Orientations), the model rotates to the specified orientation. This transition takes about one second. Is there a way to make the change instant (0 seconds)?I checked the standard configuration options but couldn’t find anything. Since there are many properties available, it’s possible I overlooked the relevant one.Thanks in advance for your help.

Do We have to buy illustrator as an application addon or separate install or how does it work? Is there any way we can get a demo to try out before buy? We do a lot of installation drawings for military, and we are challenged with 2d drawings of interior assembly systems instructions. Want to see if Creo I is a good candidate and  helpful.

Hello everyone,I am currently trying to get as much information as possible out of my .pvz files using the Creo View Toolkit 12.0.But i am struggling to get the Information from Measurements especially the "Summary" one.I tried looking at the Markup class but i don't get it to work. I don't even know if that's the right approach or possible at all.Any solutions, advices or hints would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Currently using Creo Schematics 12, trying to perfect the CID-to-WID process. One issue that I have noticed is that if a dataset it applied to a circuit, in the circuit interface diagram, then that dataset does not get transferred to the wiring diagram. For example, if create a circuit in the CID, and assign a dataset to this circuit (20 AWG, BLACK, TXL), when I place the corresponding wire in the WID, I would expect the wire to be 20AWG, BLACK, TXL.However, this is not the case.  All datasets have to be reassigned to each wire. Am I overlooking a parameter, or anything?  Is this working as intended? If it's working as intended, why can't the circuit dataset be applied to each corresponding wire?  Otherwise you're duplicating efforts, thus creating more work than necessary.

we are using windchill 12 and don't have access to creo view as the chromeOS doesn't support this app.i saw the chrome browser has webgl enabled but when i am clicking on the visualization, nothing is happening. please guide me here.
