Hello,  as per default, Creo Illustrate names the steps within a sequence "step 1", "step 2" etc. If I insert a new step afterwards at the beginning, it will be called after the last step created, e.g. "step 50", which doesn't make much sense. I now need to rename all 50 steps manually which takes a lot of time. Is there a way to achieve that Illustrate renames all steps in order without "step" - just "1" "2" "3"?My version is Creo Illustrate 9.0

I am using Creo Schematics Release 4.0 and DatecodeM010Hi, I'm trying to import a new design property file into my creo schematic file. But im getting an error I've never seen before which is failing my import. The dialog box displays "Prototype missing for port '1'".Here are the errors that I facedImport failed:Prototype missing for port '1'

Hello all,The explosion lines in the 2D figures do not correspond to the settings and not to the representations in the corresponding 3D figures. The explosion line based on the center line and its values are 4-1-1-1. What could be the reason for this? Thanks and best regardsRamon Bohne

I am using Creo Schematics 7.0 7.0.0.0pdf export does not display properly dashed lines, labels, reports (text is within case on Creo but outside case in pdf export).Only workaround so far is to use third-party pdf printer (time consuming, especially with different documents with multiple pages to print)

I just noticed that a suggestion from 2014 is closed and inactive and its almost 10 years later and nothing has been done. There should be an Adobe Illustrator Export option n Creo Illustrate as there is in Isodraw CADProcesss.  An option to export in vector AI format. Why isnt there?   Why are almost all ideas ignored and not implemented?  Why is dealing with PTC usually an exercise in frustration?   Answering any of these questions would be good and actually surprising... 

I have a connector that has 186 pins and only using 44. I want to cut the connector at the 44 pin location and delete or hide the remainder part of the connector from view. I used to be able to do that in Pro/Diagram, I'm almost sure it can be done in Creo Schematics. Thank you

Is there any way to speed up 3D rendering in Creo View? I am working with a 4K monitor using a mid-range graphics card. Simple models render nice and smooth. However, as soon as it gets into the realm of some 100,000 polygons, the FPS drops off a lot. The only view mode where I can rotate even very complex models smoothly is Wireframe, so it could be that the hidden line calculation is the problem. In Creo Parametric, there seems to be a setting on this: "Fast hidden lines removal", see below. Is there anything I can do to Creo View to improve the issue? To Improve Dynamic Display QualityYou can reduce the amount of calculation that the system performs when dynamically orienting a shaded model by controlling the level of detail at which surfaces are displayed. The result is that the movements of the model appear smoother and better synchronized with the driving force. The effectiveness of using levels of detail (LODs) in a model is dependent on the configuration of

With Creo Illustrate, is it possible to export sections with hatched section faces as a vectorial PDF, including the hatching? In other words, in the exported PDF all lines, including the hatching, should be vector lines, not bitmaps?

Hello,Is it possible to create a callout within an inset? So the leader line should end within the inset area. Now, when I select an object within the inset and attach a callout to it, then the leader line of the inset points to the corresponding object in the main model, but not to the part within the inset. Because the inset is much more detailed it is better visible where the leader line of the callout points to.We use this functionality a lot within our company, so this question is quite important to us.Thanks in advance for your answer!

Is there a detailed tutorial on how to create and use explode lines?  Explode lines are not intuitive and and seem sprout from unlikely places..   which makes them a PIA.  i never end up using them and end up creating my own...

Hello all, as I have learned here in the forum 😀, and which also works very well 👍, if I want to show only a small area of a model, I proceed as follows: 1. I define a 3D page and place the model next to it. Then I create a detail that I place on the 3D page. I hide the connecting line. My problem now: I want to show an enlargement (detail) of this section. 2. I can now show a detail, but the detail aerea is on the model next to my page. 3. when I move the detail area to my detail, it is empty. Question: Is it possible to create a detail view of a detail view? If so, how? Thanks and best regardsRamon. 

Hello Community, If I open an assembly from Windchill in Creo View and add annotations and/or save annotation sets to the assembly: Will the engineer see these annotations/sets in his Creo Parametric when he continues to work on the assembly? RegardsDavid

Hello all,I don't know if I understood correctly the handling and organization of the "standards". That's why I tested a little bit. If possible, please comment on what I have done and asked: 1. I have created with my own individual standard "Ramon-Standard-01", in which I copied the "Creo Standard" and then extended and adapted it. 2. when creating new CI, I have selected my standard "Ramon-Standard-01" before linking the pvz file. 3. all further changes and additions in "Ramon-Standard-01" I have made with the administration tool. 4. when reopening a CI whose standard is "Ramon-Standard-01", the Ci takes over all changes made to the "Ramon-Standard-01" (and reported it in a small window).--> Important: The time stamp of the changed "Ramon-Standard-01" has to be younger than the time stamp of the "Ramon-Standard-01" from the CI! 5. alternatively a batch run can be executed for the update of a CI. But the batch run is really only necessary if you want to upd

Is there a location where all the various versions and what their updates entail ?     

Hi all, sometimes I get a render image shift (displacement) on the 2D figure (see attchement). Any idea why? Until now I could allways move the render image back into its correct position and everything is fine. But solving the problem would be my prefered way 🙂  Thanks a lot and best regardsRamon Bohne  

Expect to obtain the Creo Elements / Direct Modeling configurations of the subassemblies in the Preset Explode  of Creo View  Description:In the help you can read that "You can use the Preset Explode function only if the source data has top-level explode states defined".  This is the structure on Creo Elements / Direct Modeling.  The objects are stored in Windchill.The visualization of Sub-Assy1 is a monlith visualization  and the visualization of the Top-Level-Assembly /Tops-Assy is a strutcure visualization. Only the Modeling configruation  off the Top-Level-Assembly is available in Creo View in the Preset Explode   We also expect to obtain the modeling configurations of the subassemblies in the Preset Explode  of Creo View      

Following is a frequent use case for me:An assembly is opened in Creo View from Windchill. The assembly contains various annotation sets. Now the assembly is saved from Creo View to the local hard drive as a PVZ file. In this process, all annotation sets are lost. Is there any way to save the PVZ file locally including the existing annotation sets?

I am trying to export an exploded view out of Creo Parametric 7.0 into Creo View format but for whatever reason it will not create the exploded state. I have tried doing the export from Creo Parametric when the model is in both the exploded and unexploded states and I have tried opening the model with both Creo View Lite 4.1 and Creo View Standard (I believe it was 4.0). No matter what I try the model I see in Creo View is always the unexploded state and the "Preset Explode" button is greyed out. Does anyone know what the issue might be and why I can't get the export to work?

I am using Creo Schematics Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.0.0We recently upgraded from 4.0 to 7.0. In 4.0 when we exported a design as a pdf if we were to open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro and edit text the text was editable as an entire entity such as a sentance/paragraph.In 7.0 if we edit the text the same way all text now are separate entities and each individual letter/word has to be changed separately.

In Creo Illustrate 9.1, is there a way to save the sBOM coordinate and rotation states that I have at the end of a sequence step? It can be something I have to set-up before I create the step. I'm just hoping for this functionality, so that I have some kind of workaround for an issue I'm having - I've already submitted a ticket for the issue.

Hello all, I'm still having trouble arranging my exported images in a reasonable way. Example:I want to exoprt an image that should be 10cm wide (at 300dpi = 118 pixels/cm). 1.) Previous procedure:- Adjust the window approximately to the target size of the image (attachment “Bild-01.jpg”).- Export the image with the desired width (10cm) and resolution (118 pixels/cm). Problems:- The export size usually matches the target size in only one direction. Most of the time, the exported image must be cropped at least in the second direction.- The fit of the image in the window is lost if the shape of the window is changed. Correspondingly, the image will no longer have the originally desired size (attachment “Bild-02.jpg”). So window and representation must ALWAYS be adjusted manually.- The position numbers and labels vary in size depending on how large the exported image is (e.g. wide 10cm or 15cm). 2.) Alternative procedure (attachment “Bild-03.jpg”😞- Defining a "pa

Hello,unfortunately I have a next problem: I just noticed that when I export images, the stroke widths are different when I make a display with and without page setup. So far I have always exported images by fixing the model in the window and then setting the desired image width (e.g. 17.5 cm) with resolution 300dpi (118 dots per cm) when exporting. The result is an image with a pixel width 17.5cm x 118dpcm = 2065 pixels. In the meantime I found out that it is more convenient to define a page size. And that you can define your own page sizes with the administration tool. So I defined a page with the dimensions 17,5x11cm and set it later. When exporting the image I only had to set the resolution 118dpcm and I also got an image of the pixel width 17,5cm x 118dpcm = 2065 pixels. So both images are the same size in the result. For both images the pen thicknesses Thick = 0,2mm and Thin = 0,1mm were set. Problem:The exported line thicknesses are different. The e
