Hi Everyone,Does anyone else have issues saving an illustration while in perspective mode? While in Orthographic view, saving the illustration takes a couple of minutes. I am saving the same illustration in perspective mode and it has been 26 hours and it is still rendering. The file size is only 56 MB, but is taking up to 10 GB of ram on my computer. Do you have any suggestions? Can you save figures in perspective mode as a line drawing?Sincerely,Dustine

Hello All,   We would like to find software that is easy to use and can generate wiring diagram with each signal connected to connectors. Currently, we're using Creo Schematics for interconnect diagram/cable schematics and Keycreator/Visio for wiring diagram. Does anyone use different software to generate wiring diagram beside Autocad, Keycreator or Visio?   Thank you in advance for your help.   Sun

Is there a recommended graphics input device for CREO, specifically for use in Sketch?

I recently upgraded my Dell XPS 13 from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and am having a problem with the viewport turning black anytime I try to start a new sketch. All of my drivers are updated, I have tried multiple resolutions, and I can't seem to find any solutions.Anyone have an advice and/or similar experiences?

First of all I apologize if I have discussed this topic before.  I tried doing a search on this but couldn't find how I could view all my discussions.   I do not like how difficult it is to take model changes through new modifications; the struggle is with the naming.   I componentize my models.  The 1st model is the basic shape.  The 2nd model adds flash at the parting line.  The 3rd model places gutter depth beyond the flash width.  The 4th model assembles all of this in a die.  I have to put several componentized model sets into the final die.   The changes themselves I would consider as going through this process very easily (most of the time).   The struggle is the fact that each of these models needs name changing to identify the new revision number.   To discover how to even make this go through was a struggle in itself, but now I at least have a method that will update component by component.  This process takes hours.

The connectors are shown but NOT THE CABLES.

We need a printable Export of Images with Color Profile Settings, in Creo Illustrate.   We have customers who print documents with color profile CMYK. The selection of the color profile is possible with IsoDraw, we need to have this as well in Creo Illustrate.   regards Gabi

When we open our EDIT > PREFERENCES window we see this glitch. The way the options portion of the window overlaps the scroll bar makes it very hard to modify our settings. If I minimize and move the ISO draw window to less than full screen we can see the down arrow so we can scroll but then that messes with our toolbar placement. Basically it is a pain to deal with. Any solutions?Thanks,Mark

Looking for a fast and easy way to fill in a 2d object.  Step 1.) Arrange 3d objects for illustration.  Step 2.) Project to 2D.  Step 3.)  Need to fill individual parts with yellow!!!.....Any ideas?

When you attempt to open a .asm file an error comes up saying, "Creo (R) View - productview.exe has stopped working". It seems to open .prt files fine. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to propose the idea of Highlighting features in the model tree.   The same way you would highlight a word or a fraise in a word document.   At the moment you can only highlight a feature when you click on it and at the set color. it would be good if you could choose a feature, select highlight, choose a color and keep it highlighted all the time.   In this way it will stand out from the list of features and can draw a quick and easy attention to important ones. especially when the person opening up the  model is not the same person who modeled it.   I hope I made myself clear enough.   Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any question.   Kind regards   Fulvio

I am creating graphics with assorted annotations, each time I save them as image files (any type of image file, tiff, jpeg, png, etc.)  I loose the orientation of the annotations.The file will save, but the annotations get all jumbled up, or pile up on each other.  Am I missing something?  Any ideas?

Hi All,   Good evening! We are working on the detailing files, when the section/view name is created its in different format and text format. We need to change it manually everytime. Example shown below Section   A-A, It must be SECTION A-A( Single space between section name and section)   Regards ChethanThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

In order to create DataTables for wires and prefab cables in Creo Schematics, you have to create a CSV file in Excel. If you don't include required columns (as listed in the Help section), then this information won't import into Creo Parametric correctly for Logical Referencing.   Prefab cables require three separate DataTables in order to be created correctly. Good luck understanding the information in the Help section for figuring out how to do this.   This process needs to be simple and intuitive, with a modern interface that simplifies the creation of DataTables. There should also be error checking prior to XML export to ensure that it has the necessary columns / data for Creo Parametric.

Please we have a question:  If there how to make my own blocks in the SOFTWARE CREO SCHEMATICS? ,If yes, tell us the steps to create our own blocks.   Attached  image. Thank you very much.   Nancy Jácome ENERGYPETROL   Quito - Ecuador

I've been going crazy trying to determine the value used to choose Creo View MCAD at startup in the preferences XML for Creo View. I have the option "startup_mode" in the XML file.If you set:      <preference name="startup_mode" value="pvstandard"/>It will launch with Creo View Standard.If you set:      <preference name="startup_mode" value="pvlite"/>It will launch with Creo View LiteOne document says "pvpro", nope. Another says "pvmcadpro", nope. Bot will not lauch Creo View at all. I have scoured the documentation and support site to no avail (surprise...).Anybody know this one?

Does anyone know how to force Creo View to use Document Mode 8 with Internet Explorer 11? We are running Windchill 10.1 M050, Creo Parametric 2.0 M140 and Creo View 3.0 M030. According to the PTC literature, all of these versions should be compatible with IE 11. We had to force Windchill to load in Document Mode 8 in order to get it to work. We are having an issue with Creo View, however, where it will not load CAD drawing or other images because its default IE document mode is 5. When using F12 to go to developer mode, we can manually change the document mode to 8 and then the image loads properly; however, as soon as a new Creo View session is loaded, the document mode defaults back to 5 and won't work again.Any ideas how to force Creo View to always use document mode 8 with IE 11?

Dear all,On some workstations, Creo View 3 does not print DRW files. The strange thing is that 3D models can be printed without any problems. Does anyone encountered this issue and perhapse have an idea to solve this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Michiel

Today when there is a new patch for Creo, the old installation needs to be uninstalled and the new version needs to be installed. If Creo offers within the product the new version available just like windows does or java does, it would be easier for customers to be aware of a new version. Moreover, this could be a benefit for sales as when a popup says there is new Creo 4.0 and click here to update and click here to view what is new, would already bring benefits when it comes to selling.   I believe similar feature is available in solidworks.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi!   Has anyone ever used a JTree to assemble a structure that is in the Tree View?   Note: The picture is just to illustrate.     Thanks.

I need to ceate 300 illustrations for a service manual. Should I have one Creo Illusstrate file with all 300 illustrations in the one file asw 300 figures or have 300 seperate Creo Illustrate files. What are the pro and cons of each?   Thanks

When i edit dimension value appers calc keyboard. This is useful when entering data from the tablet with touchscreen.

Some customers complain about the fact that, in Creo Illustrate, it is possible to modify leader lines of BOM Balloons (Item numbers), however, it is not possible to modify line thickness of the shape itself (if circle has been chosen, line thickness of the circle should be editable)   Thickening just the leader line, for instance, creates a dubious image.   It would be an improvement if not only leader line thickness can be modified, but the actual BOM shape line thickness as well.

Is it possible to change an objects color in Creo View MCAD?   Thanks for your help.   Bernhard
