So yeah , I was told that there wasn't a way to have Creo Illustrate deal with part change rolls of like XYZ-001 tolled to XYZ-002 without having to remarkup the whole dang file again.   Or deal with multiple versions of said file that were 95 percent the same with various small options that changed it.   Well figured it out.  

We have these models that we're viewing in Creo View that has thousands of objects in them.  Some of the objects in model have an associated wtpart but the source model file we have doesn't automatically link the model parts because we're not using Creo as our model.  Anyway, we can manually type in the wtpart number as a custom parameter in the source model and we can see it in Creo View. The question is, "Can Creo View automatically make a hyperlink to the wtpart if it recognizes that parameter as a wtpart number?"   The vision is that the user would click on the object in the model, then its parameters would come up, one of which being the wtpart number, and then the user would click the hyperlink and get to the wtpart page in Windchill.      Thanks

Hi there,when I want to install flexnetadmin 11.17.1.0, a msgerror file is created in the folder with all files (see attachement). There are many messages there, all of them have the heading "Message DB wasn't loaded.".In addition, the status remains permanently at "Being started...". ... but nothing happens.Can someone help me? What is the reason for this? I need access to Creo Illustrate.  Best regards Jonas 

Is there any way to have a cursor select setting that only selects top level components in the structure in Creo View MCAD (aside from the top level assembly)? Any type of solution to this will do. (Creo View MCAD version 11 being used).

Hi @lhoogeveen , With reference to this topic  By the way how did you had this VB added into Creo view?

I am using Creo Schematics Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0 how to add splices for more than 3 wires in Creo schematics.

I know this is a future question but perhaps a PTC PLM can chime in. I see that Cadence released version 24.1 last year. I was curious if Creo View Adapters 12 will support this version. The 11.1 version only supports up to 23.1. 

Hello all, I am facing the problem to publish some assemblies.  Error - Timeout Error  I gone through with some of the article for the same issue and troubleshooted by increasing the time from 3600 secs to 7200 - 10800 secs in WVS.properties file. But still assembly is failing with the same error. We are using monolithic environment and have 2 creo worker. What can i do to publish the assemblies succesfully.Any help would be much appreciated. Windchill Version - 12.0.2.7Creo Version - 8

All our parts lists are arranged in PN order.  So, we bring in the sBOM and click "Item Tag" to sort by PN.  Once the sort is complete, is there a way to have the software update the Sequence Number and ITM Label automatically in numerical order?  I spend a ton of time numbering the parts list to be in PN sequence order.  If it can't be done automatically, is there a way for me to input the new sequence number, short of clicking the up/down arrow over and over.  This is a real productivity killer when there are 100 or more items in an illustration.  Also, once I remove an item (using right-click delete item), is there a way to have Creo automatically update the Sequence Number and ITM Label for the subsequent numbers? Or do all of the Seq/ITM Labels have to be updated manually? Thanks! 

 

Hello,We're in the implementation of Creo Illustrate 9.1 to be use for representations in MPMLink Process Plan.We're getting bugs sometimes with c3di files not updating. Probably a basic question here, but looking for what is the right way to manage. Q1- When Revising a Process Plan and Illustration files, Does the source file needs to be included?Q2- I can't collect (not even have the option) to collect the source files when files are released and need to be added for a Change. Q3 - The revise option does not work when reising all objects at once. is this normal?Hope someone has some insight/solutions here.Thanks in advance!

Hi all,this is a topic that has been bothering me for a long time.Is there a way to apply the view orientation (perspective & zoom) of one image to another image? For example, I copied a figure 1 to a figure 2 and reoriented the view in the figure 2 and saved it. And then I realized that I would rather have the original view (the view from figure 1). But without the option of transferring the orientation from another figure, it doesn't seem possible. It also seems to be similar in animated sequences. I don't know how I could transfer a certain orientation from one sequence to another sequence. Can anyone help? Best regardsRamon Bohne(Siemens Energy)

Hi I have recently installed Creo 11 and been able to make tables in MBD.  I would like to be able to see these tables and other annotations in Creo View Express  I export the Creo model with the tables and other annotations to pvz format and expect to see the tables but they aren't there.  I can see dimensions with GD&T callouts so I am assuming my recipe file (attached) is ok.  I did some digging and found that maybe I need the Creo View adaptor 11.1.0.0?  Do I even need the Creo View adaptor if I am manually creating the PVZ file using Save As from Creo 11? Support_for_Table_Annotations_for_Creo_Parametric  I thought maybe my version of Creo View Express was the issue so I went to the Creo View Express download page here and even though it says Creo 11.1. it downloads 11.0.0.  I installed that and loaded my pvz file and still no tables being displayed. I used a recipe file as attached.  I had to change the rcp exte

Hello all,is it normal for the line style (e.g. centerline) to change when you place an Inset? Can this be changed or switched off? I have placed a bolt with screw and centre line on a DIN A4 page size.When I insert an Inset B, the centrerline style changes. In addition, the line style in the Inset (zoom) is completely different. It is far too small in this case, although it should not actually change despite positive or negative zoom. And if it does, the distances should at least become larger (and not smaller) with a positive zoom. The line style: Placing a bolt and a srew on a DIN A4 page size: Insert a Inset B with zoom < 1: Making the zoom >1: Can this behavior be changed? Best regardsRamon(Siemens Energy)

Hello all,I have the following problem:I have created an animation from 4 sequences.In the 2nd sequence (Step 2) crane hooks appear, which I had previously inserted from my 3D library.The crane hooks can be seen when running the CI-animation Step 2-4 ("CI_anmiation_Step-3.mp4"). The crane hooks are also visible in the video export Step 2 ("Video_export_Step-2.mp4"). But in the video exports Step 3 and Step 4, the crane hooks are suddenly no longer visible ("Video_export_Step-3.mp4").What could be the reason for this?Best regardsRamon(Siemens-Energy)

When opening assemblies from Windchill in CreoView, I frequently experience an error where some of the components do not load.  They will appear in the model tree with a red dot next to the part name.  There is no error message.  The individual parts that fail to load can be opened on their own through Windchill.  Also, when re-opening the assembly with parts that fail to load, sometimes different parts will fail to load from attempt to attempt. This issue has not occurred for any other user at my company and also does not occur for me when using other PCs besides my laptop.  We have attempted re-installing Creo View, clearing the cache, and other common fixes. Creo View Lite version 10.0.0.0 Build 26Windchill version 12.0.2.5

Hello everyone The explode lines always protrude too far over the items, so that both explode lines seem to be in front of the item (see screenshot "before").I spend a significant amount of time to manually pull each end of the explode lines to a reasonable position in the 2D drawing (see screenshot "after"). I assume the reason is the white shadow, as without it the explode line would end exactly in the outline of the item.  Is there any setting that can improve this situation ?I'm using Creo Illustrate 11.0 Thank you a lot in advance

Hi all,am I the only one who keeps losing 3D page sizes and line settings for callouts?I mean, I define a 3D page size and then create the 2D image. Everything is fine. But after saving, closing and reopening, this page size is missing. This doesn't always happen, but againe and againe. Sometimes more often, sometimes less often.In the same way, CI sometimes loses the line setting of callouts (white shaddow, line thickness).It is annoying. What could be so difficult about storing the settings securely in a database? Is there someone else havin the same problems? Best regardsRamon(Siemens Energy)

I am working on a new illustration.  When I open the illustration and drag/drop my items from the sBOM to the Item List, it automatically brings the items in by CAD location (First Image).  This oparticular illustration has 67 items. Our company does out parts manuals in numerical part number order, so I have to resort the list by Item tag order (Second Image). Doing so, requires me to renumber the ITM list manually as I have found no way to do it automatically. None of the options in the Item List tab / Numbering group help.  I must manually change the number down to ITM #1 manually, which in this case will take over 63 clicks of the mouse.  The next item will take over 42 clicks of the mouse.  I will have to click thousands of time to renumber just this one illustration. Does anyone have any info on how to get the system to do a renumber by Item Tag order?  It would be a life saver.  I put a ticket in on this a few months ago and it was ac

Hi, in the what's new for Creo View Adapter 10.1, it is stated that:SolidWorks – Support Assembly Feature, Flexible Feature & Virtual (Embedded) Components for Windchill Structure Visualizationhowever, in our current testing, Assembly/flexible features seem to work well, but for virtual embedded components this does not seem to be changed or any better than previous versions.   It says that there is no extra config needed, so I'm wondering if there is a certain Windchill version that is also needed? currently running 12.0.2.21 and Creo View adaptors 10.1 - maybe 13.0.1 is needed?

Is it possible to adjust the scale factor of the catalog items with respect to the sheet size?  For example, I have created a block shape with A3 as the sheet template, Now If I wish to insert the same block into another sheet of different size, for ex A1, the block appears to be small. If there is any option to add a parameter which scales up / down according the sheet size, that would alleviate the manual task of creating the blocks for different sizes.  Please help me. 

Hi,when i am launching Creo Illustrate 8.1 the startup menu appears as normal. But when i click start nothing happens (Window gets closed). However, if i use an server with the license, it works fine.I also installed it on my backup pc and there it works fine with the file. So what i am doing wrong on my laptop? I have installed it for other people with exactly the same steps and it works just fine, but not on my device. I searched for a solution and found that you can generate a log file (also installed debug symbols accordingly to this post https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/illustrate/r9.1/en/index.html#page/creo_illustrate/install_config_guide/g_ttips.html#   (Debug Symbos & using variables in troubleshooting))But i dont get smart out of it. Tried Illustarte 9.0 also but same problem. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all,Steve

Hello Community It is our industries requierement to add a caption to each illustration, to give information about projekt number etc. This caption is invisible when the CGM files are published as PDF (screenshot: "pdf from illustrate", compare to screenshot: "cgm in illustrate").The text of the caption can be found and located through the search function in the PDF but it can not be made visible.My workaround is to create the files in Creo Illustrate and save them as CGM - then open them in Isodraw only to save them as CGM again. With this extra step the caption stays visible in the PDF (screenshot: "pdf from isodraw"). It seems that Creo Illustrate marks the Caption as metadata, so that is not to meant to be seen.Callouts always work fine, btw.I tried several softwares to create the PDFs, so the issue has to be somewhere in Creo Illustrate itself. I am using Creo Illustrate 11 and Isodraw 7.4. Any idea how to solve this is very appreciated.Kind regards
