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.

Does anyone have a copy of the WEEE & CE symbols as a Creo sketch?

I can have a figure with a caption and a border, but I have not figured out how to have a figure caption with no border or white border. It seems the border color and figure caption text color are linked. Does anyone know of a work-around?

I'd like to use TOOLS/Find to search for dimension tolerances like table name H 7 for example. (properties of hole diameter / tolerance / tolerance table: hole / Tablename: x y) In my mind it would be nice to find dimensions and surfaces that this table name is added like searching for symbols or pre-/postfix. This option would give a workarround for coloring sufaces of holes with tolerance H7 (hole basis fit). Searching for threads is possible so coloring surfaces of holes with threads is possible at the moment.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi,Can anyone suggest the best way to edit an animation I have created? I have had to removed some now unwanted parts that I had animated (i.e. bolts with an unscrewing effect) but I now need to edit the duration of that section as the animation looks like its doing nothing for this duration? Can I just cut out a section of the track length or the top level Animation track and if so, how??Thanks for any help,Brian

Is there a fine zoom/coarse zoom option in Creo Illustrate?Thanks,neal lewis

Hi,Two quick questions:1. Is there an easy way to animate a wheel assembly so that it shows at least 360 degree rotation during the animation or more preferably more? I have tried to animate using the Transformation function but this only ends up showing the wheel or gear to rotate very slowly and only through about twenty degrees.2. Is there a way to publish/save a Figure only as a .pvz file to be viewed in Creo View Mobile? I have tried different parameters in Publish and Save Figure but I can't get the Figure to be saved as a .pvz. It always seems to want to save the whole Illustration as a .pvzAny help would be welcome,Regards,Brian

Can someone tell me how and when creo publishes information to creo view? We tend to have issues viewing old drawings in creo view and im wondering if thats a backwards compatability issue with windchill.

Creo Illustrate has a very limited appearance adjustment. I would like to be able to adjust the “highlight “or “shininess” in the appearance color to make an object look more matte, to look more true to life. The colors give a shiny appearance.   Please add more adjustments for the appearance other than transparency and RGB values. Creo Parametric has great appearance property adjustment options.

Improve Creo Every new Pro-E/Creo release was worse than existing one. Creo 3 is worse than Creo 2. I will present just several observations: 1. All command icons are pale, harder to see. 2. Many changes are made just for sake of chamges. Typical example is edit definition, instead of text now there is a icon. This is really big change, but I dont know why? 3. Creo persistantly changes dimension on its own in sketch mode. You save sketch re-open it and dimension is changed by Creo. Dimensions are created by Creo in weird way, not enginering way. 4. Colors are horrible and do not match at all. 5. Scroling in work space is erratic not continous and smooth 6. Is it possible to calm down that zoom jumping all over the screen. 7. When you select file in work space and want to o it again searching for another file is it possible to go back to last selected file? 8. When you open constrains window that window completely covers three default part planes (Top, side and front) you can't select t

I built 2 pretty massive files for a presentation to our corporate group. The 1st one took 4 days, and was complete, but once saved, and reopened, all of the steps were gone. While I put in a ticket with PTC, it might be faster to try to find an answer here. I recreated the entire file, saved along the was, 6backups, and Published. While I kept them open, both files were perfect. Closed, reopened, BAM, all the steps were gone, but the last step I had highlighted is now the only Figure remaining. Open the pvz file, and them sBOM and views for each Step are screwed up. Is there a step number limit that kills it? I think I had 79 steps.Any help. please? This presentation was to get approval and funding to implement a global assembly and service documentation system, and Illustrate was it, but not for long if I can't fix this.

When generating annotations many leaders want to go behind the geometry (see yellow mark on leader 1 and 2). I find that annoying. Is there a trick to making the leaders go like leader 3, in front of geometry?  I would prefer just to right click on the leader and make it one or the other.

Hi, I am fairly new to the Creo world and can imagine that symbols and such mean the same across the tools. In Creo Illustrate there are a few but the manual don't mention them all and don't explain them.What is the difference between an Item and a Part?eBOMHere are subassemblies with a symbol who is part blue - does it mean that it is different than the all golden one?Then there are "golden" parts too - are those different from the blue/golden? sBOMSom are subassemblies but some are kits and something called illustrations - what are those? I try to weld som to parent and the parent became the symbol of a kit hence they were stuck together. Do that mean anything making annotations?

Hi, I was hoping to see if anyone has seen an increase in the amount of exits (crashing) and hanging graphics with the most recent release?Both customers and our users have noticed a significant rise in these events. We are working with certified hardware as far as we can tell... are there any top tips or recommendations for better stability?Lastly is there a scheduled date for M020Thanks in advanceJames Brooks

Is it possible to force a Leader on an Annotation to the foreground? I have several Creo Illustrate 3 figures with Annotations that have Leaders going to unhidden parts or surfaces, yet sometimes the Leaders insist on becoming dashed (hidden) lines for part of their length (as if they are hidden).Any help is appreciated!Tom Burtonp.s. - There seem to rarely be answers on this Community board! Also, does PTC monitor it??

Can Creo Illustrate 2.0 and 3.1 be installed on the same work station? When I installed 3.1 it removed 2.0. The CreoIllustrate_64.exe is the same for both versions. In testing, I found that Illustrate 3.1 and Creo View Express 2.0 do not work well together, Illustrate 3.1 with Creo View 3.1 does. So, enterprise wide Creo View Express 2.0 is installed with Windchill 9.1, so I'm thinking for multiple locations viewing our work instructions would have to have them created in Illustrate 2.0. Any other experiences with these type of compatibility issues?

How do I select several parts and assemblies for future use in Creo® Illustrate?I will be rotating all of the parts and assemblies to a different location. They have to stay in the same relative position with each other.The parts and assemblies are scattered through the sBOM.Thanks for any help.Neal Lewis

I have a customer request to do work instruction only using Creo Illustrate to publish if can attach BOM table (link with the callout ballon), csv worksheet into the Figure view will be good.
