I am creating a step-by-step service procedure in Creo Illustrate 3.The "standard" acknowledgment statement says "You have reached the end of the step Step x" with the choices Replay, Continue or Complete, and Stop"Is there a way to edit this message? As an example, I'd like it to say "When you have disconnected the ground lug, select one of these choices: Replay, Continue or Complete, or Stop." Is there any way to do this?Thanks in advance for any ideas!Tom Burton

Hi,Does anyone know about readily available 3D symbol lybrary plug-ins or extensions for Creo Illustrate please?I'm especially looking for 3D hands, fingers and pointers to clearly indicate certain manipulations and operations in my illustrations.Any help or tips & tricks would be much appreciated!Thanks,Bram

I selected a fairly complex assembly in a Creo Illustrate drawing, and Isolated it. I did the things I needed to it. Is there then any way to Un-Isolate the selected item? (I don't want to "Select All", since I intentionally have some items unselected and/or hidden.Ideas appreciated!Tom Burton

In a Creo Illustration3 figure, there is a particular assembly that I frequently need to rotate around a particular axis.To do this, I have to Hide several pieces that are in the way, and change from my default orientation (all to get the axis accessible). I then select the assembly, select Transform, and the rotation ball comes up in a location other than what I want. I right click on the assembly, and select "Location". I choose Select Coordinate System and I get the little Select Coordinate System window. I hover the cursor over the axis loation until it shows in the Select Coordinate System window, then click OK. As desired, the rotation "ball" moves as desired, and I can rotate the assembly as I wanted.Is there a way I can save and recall that Coordinate System with that Assembly? I frequently need to go through the whole sequence above, and it takes a lot of time (and yields a lot of frustration!).Any ideas will be much appreciated!Tom Burton

Hello everyone,I' m realy struggeling with the customization of creo view 3.0 for our users. For the preferences I'm using the *pref.xml files like shared_pred.xml.But how do I get the pvlite_customization.ui shared for the clients?Thanks in advance,Fred

Does anyone know how to set the Displayed Fields under the Item List tab for all figures in one operation? I have not figured out a way to "globally" set this for all figures after they have been created. Is this even possible?If you duplicate a previous figure, it will retain the same fields, but you have to make sure you set them up before creating the figures. (And hope no one wants to change them.)Thanks for any information on this!Michelle

The attached document guides how to embed a Creo View control object to a PowerPoint presentation. This way you can view, rotate and use other Creo View functionalities on a 3D model in a PowerPoint presentation.

I am attempting to build up a new Connector Shape in Creo Schematics that will support adding Backshell Ports to the Connector when needed. I am also attempting to use the Pin Parameter functionality to populate my Connector Contacts with contact specific information. I am interested if anybody is doing this, I have hit a few bumps along the way, stuck on one now, so I thought I would reach out to see how everybody else is handling this?

We have some long-format drawings. We need to be able to plot them at 1:1 scale. This doesn't seem possible with the out-of-the-box paper sizes from the Print (and Print Preview) commands.

Salve, come da oggetto, IMPORTO con Creo Illustrate 3.0 degli assiemi .asm (creati con pro engineer 5.0), ma alcuni pezzi rotondi o cilindrici mi vengono visualizzati semplificati, quindi con sezioni ottagonali o simile.   Come posso fare visualizzare questi file correttamente? Vedi esempio sotto, i profili in giallo dovrebbero essere tondi.     Grazie.

How does one borrow a Cabling license? I cannot find other instructions that this one for Simulate:   https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS128697&posno=1&q=CS128697&ProductFamily=Creo%20%26%20Pro%2FENGINEER%7CCreo%20Simulate%20%26%20Pro%2FMechanica&source=search   I cannot get it to work in the same way for a Cabling license. It only works for Schematics.   Thank you in advance for any leads.

So over the weekend we upgraded from Windchill 10.1 to 10.2 and had to upgrade to CREO View 3. We are now seeing something strange. The thumbnail view will look normal, but the model will be a weird red color. This does not happen for all of our models, so that makes it weirder. If you delete the viewable and recreate it, the color goes back to normal. Anyone have any ideas?Thanks,Brian

Hi guys. I am making this ergo grip "handle-wand". That will house some PCB electronics. I needed to keep the circle shape on one end while also keeping the "triangular-oval" on the other and still follow 4 trajectory lines, or else I would have used a Variable Section sweep or something other relevant tool. My question is this I have made my shape using boundary blends. I am wanting to make the Boundary Blends tangent to one another so there will not be any witness lines. However when I go into constraint settings on boundary blends and make set them to tangent, it will not rebuild properly. I have attached some pictures for reference. Any ideas on how to make them tangent to one another? The pictures below illustrate the witness lines and my tangency settings.Thanks in advance.

I have read on the board how to add keyboard commands to Creo View 2.0 but that keymap functionality is missing from Creo View 3.0.   I want to map 'Select Parent' to a key or a button on my 3d mouse but don't know the keyboard command, if there is one.

I have a full license the entire suite, all software work well. I think when I start schematics 1.0 says: unable to obtain license for Creo schematics. I just think schematics 3.0 and Schematics 2.0 works, but I need the 1.0.   above do all procedemientoras to start Schem 2.0. Now me so with Schem 1.0. (try the same procedure you explain me, but this time it turned out)

Hi Everyone,I was wondering if there is a way to set the location for the sBOM you are working with so when you add tools to an engine they will stay in there situated place. Can you set the location of the engine parts and tools that are in one file? Then you won't have to keep re-aligning the parts correctly.Thanks,Dustine

Hi,Is there a way you can interact with the camera more in Creo Illustrate-- More settings and control over how the camera moves around an object?Liza

Hi,I am finishing an animation. I have these four knobs that I want to screw onto another part. When I have all four knobs selected, I can see the animation work perfectly fine, it shows the quick motion of the object turning. However, when I have my ojects unselected, and want to just normally watch my animation (the effect is included on the timeline), the objects do not really replicate the quick spin. It just kindof lobbies on, it does not show that quick turn (unless I have all four objects selected). Any advice what this might be?Thank you,Liza

I'm working with Winchill 10.0 integrated to Creo 2.0 M100. Thumbnails previews of my database models are available, but I cannot open them on Creo View anymore. Since few days ago everything was ok. I wondering if this problem is related to a Java upgrade....

For Pro/E and Creo current functionalities, to support NX, Solidworks or Inventor, user have to install a licensed NX, Solidworks and Inventor on the same machine, which is unreasonable and impossible to do since I just get 3-rd files from provider and have no licensed NX, Solidworks and Inventor on the same machine.   So PTC should improve support NX, Solidworks and Inventor. Just support like CATIA, only INTF_FOR_CAT is enough, needn't install licensed 3-rd software   Since PTC propagandizes AnyData, should support SolidEdge too since more and more SMB use SolidEdge as the structure design tool.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.
