Hello CommunityI have configured two watermarks, one with a "in Work" text --> assigned when lifecycle state "in work" is set.If the state is "released" the screen should be empty.Now, I do have a admin file with this content: <category name="Watermarks"> <preference name="show_when_viewing" value="True" locked="True"/> <preference name="show_when_printing" value="True" locked="True"/> <preferenceList name="watermarks"> <preferenceItem> <preference name="name" value="NOT_FOR_PRODUCTION"/> <preference name="file" value="not_for_production.ini"/> </preferenceItem> <preferenceItem> <preference name="name" value="Released"/> <preference name="file" value="released.ini"/> </preferenceItem> </preferenceList> <preference name="default_watermark" value=""/> <preference name="mapped_property" value="epmdoc_lifeCycleState"/> <preferenceList name="watermark_map"> <preferenceItem> <preferenc

I have an ai file that I have placed onto an IsoDraw template. I have ungrouped it so I can select the objects. Is there a way to change the opactiy of one of the objects?Bryon

When "editing" a dimension on the screen in part mode (pick feature, RMB edit), it regenerates to give you a preview. Then if you like it, it regenerates AGAIN.  WHY???????   Then, once you are done editing, you must regenerate 3 more times to get the green light? (probably because of relations and paramters).   Does PTC realize how much extra time this takes to regenerate 5 times? The best way around this I have found -- and it only cuts 1 regeneration -- is to redefine the feature you want to edit instead of editing it. If it fails you still get a chance to "undo" it.   You would think that PTC would have this figured out.   Have I metioned that I absolutelly HATE CREO!!!!!This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

There is no method (to my knowledge) of having two cables with a shared conductor spool (i.e., CABLE_SPOOL_1, and CABLE_SPOOL_2, both use a similar conductor spool CONDUCTOR_SPOOL_1. As of right now, both cable spools CABLE_SPOOL_1 and CABLE_SPOOL_2 must have independent definition of that same conductor. Therefore, the parameters associated with that conductor must be explicity called out in the logical data, or explicitally created by hand, for each cable.   Creating a method to have common conductor, as well as a method to edit/add/remove conductor spools from a cable spool within the "Spool Manager", would simplify NWF/logical data and modifications to cable design, and could be used to help identify exact required cable lengths "per spool", to be used for purchasing.   One piece of proof towards the fact that this is currently missing functionality: In Pro/TOOLKIT, the object ProCableType includes definition for PRO_CABLETYPE_CONDUCTOR... however when attempting to crea

Is it possible?

Is it possible to create lines and curves in Creo Illustrate without specifying a reference. A little bit like markups in Creo View ?If so how ?Thanks,Theo

Sketcher intent manager does not horizontally or vertically constrain sketched geometry points. While it does automatically dimension them, it will not assume horizontal or vertical constraints when sketching geometry points in proximity to already placed sketched points.   The work around for this is to sketch construction centerlines for the geometry points to snap to or manually add horizontal/vertical constraints.   If this functionality is added it should work the same as sketching holes with intent manager. Horizontal and vertical constraints are automatically added if the sketched hole is in line with other existing sketched holes. This enhancement would be a considerable productivity increase.

Hi!Just wondering if any of you have implemented windchill mobile, creoview mobile or creosketch mobile in your company?I am trying to figure out if it is worth doing. I played with these and after first "cool" feeling came realisation that they are VERY limited. I would like to hear your opinions and experiences.Thank you,Dmitry

Buil in an automatic save before sketcher or imbeded sketcher is opened.   This is to prevent CREO bombing out when sketcher looses control and a lot of work is lost.

Hi All,Whenever we do a model or drawing check-in, which type of check-in should be used ideally so that we can see updated images in Creo View 2.0 ?There are 2 options available Auto check-in and Custom check-in.What is the difference between both of them?Thanks.Shridhar

I need to work on my pen table for Creo View. However it is locked and I cannot find how to unlock it. WC 10.1.Thank you,Brian

Hello all,   I need someone, anyone, to point out where to change drawing units from inches to millimeters. It looks like the default should be in 'mm' but every integer has been converted into imperical inches. For example, anywhere a 4mm entry had been by default, the integer will be already been converted into inches (with values such as 0.157480). See the attached image for reference.   I must have checked every menu within the software and looked at every tutorial video related to Creo Schematics with the possibility someone may show where to change the default unit to display metric values. It might be a file parameter that needs to be changed outside of software, but before I go diving into the hundreds of files associated with the design, do any of you have an easy or direct way to change the drawing units?   Thanks in advance   P.S.: I'm referring directly to Creo Schematics (RSD 10.0) and not Creo 2.0 (Pro/E)

Cannot PRINT in Monochrome format from CREO VIEW Lite 2.0 (M040 build 15) . It happens with all the printers. It ignores the setting and always prints in Grayscale. Thanks and kind regards,Diego García

For me it is possible to unify these two functions. Practically if I have only one section for every group (1+1) it works like sweep (even for non 2D sections). The same for 2+1 sections. Naturally it all this with tangency controls.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am new to Creo Illustrate and I have a question regarding rearrangement/insertion of of figues in Creo Illustrate 3. When I insert a new blank figure it's always added at the end after all the existing figures. If I want to add this in between let's say figure 1 and 2, how do I do that? I don't seem to be able to just drag and drop it there. And the same if I for some reason want to rearrange the sequence of the figures, how can I do that? Another example : If I delete Figure 2 and later want to add a new "Figure 2" then how can that be done without it ending at the end after all the existing figures?

I’m trying to create technical illustration using IsoDraw 7.1. The delivery profile is specific. The export format to be used for ASD is CGM according to ASD 1000D profile defined in S1000D issue2.3. This profile is based upon WebCGM 2.Is it possible to setup the preferences so that all of the CGM exports and compliant with this profile?

Two Illustrate questions:- Is it possible to include the item list in Illustrate in the exported illustrations (for example in .jpg or .iso, cgm files)?- Is it also possible to include the item list in a pvz file when publishing the illustration to a pvz file?Regards, Raymund Oudejans

Hi there   We're experiencing some problems opening some dwfs, it just gives us an import error in Creo You guys got an idea, what could be causing this?   Thanks   The error log is attached

I think beside "Lock" and "Strong" we should have "Fixed" for maintaining those dimension even scaling model.   If user set the dimension to be fixed nothing can change the value - at the moment I obtain similar result using relations, but it works only after regeneration, but fixed dimension will remain the same always until user manually not change it.

Dear Gurus,Currently we upload AutoCAD Files with Images attached to it to Windchill. The Images get uploaded as "attachment" in Windchill.However we are not able to view the images in CreoView as it is not able to resolve to the path in Windchill.Is there any way I can enable viewing JPEG attachments of AutoCAD in CreoView uploaded to Windchill?[cid:image001.jpg@01CFAD91.F70ED000]With Regards,Sriram Subramanian (Sri)

I have not figured out a way to get a cross-section of a part's geometry onto a sketch so that I can then use it to create subsequent features. Hopefully the attached screenshots help to illustrate what I want to do.   My goal is to get the blue sketch line shown around the truncated cone in the first image driven from the model geometry. I have artificially created it for these images. The plane shown is a datum plane offset from the plane that is used to set the top of the cone.     This is the VIEW cross-section shown on the plane. This is the the circle that I want to sketch and have driven by the conical feature. If the diameter of the cone changes, or the position of the cone moves, I want the driven sketch to update accordingly.  

Hello,I try to create a service BOM with all the kits available for the device. But I have some spare kits which include the same parts in them. Example:Kit 1:part Apart Bpart CKit 2:Part BPart DPart ESo my question is how to "share" the part between several kits (new parts I have created in the service bom)?Or if there is no way to do so have any idea to work around?Thank you regards

I just to update Creo Illustrate 3.0 M020. When I switch a 3D part to phantom representation, mybackground screen switch to black and after it is impossible to handle the 3D model Is it a bug or not? With Creo Illustrate 3.0 M010 this problem is not.I opened a case C12051648. See my description problem to the word file attached to this discussion.Thank in advanced for your feedbackChristophe Doz From France

Would be nice to add the value and the type of chamfer (symetric, LxL, Lxangle, etc...) in a window, or pop up, before selecting the sketch items.   Cheers, Luís
