Other Creo Products (View/Sketch/Illustrate/Layout/ Schematics and Creo Direct)

Currently PDF export in Creo Parametric saves all shaded graphics in raster.   For DRAWINGs, to get "shaded" PDFs with VECTOR graphics, you need to set to non-shaded view displays (ie: NO HIDDEN) and manually fill (Layout>>Hatch/Fill) and color individual feature surfaces one by one. This is tedious and time consuming.   There should be an export OPTION to directly convert shaded views (in ALL modes; ie: ASSEMBLY, PART and DRAWING) into VECTOR graphics with shaded/rendered areas as distinct FILLED OBJECTS in the assigned part colors with lighting gradients.   Furthermore, this vectorizing option should be given to all vector capable export formats (eg: *.DWG) and more vector graphics export formats should also be added (eg: *.ai from Adobe Illustrator).

Often, new users to the forum fail to disclose the version of software they are using or the extensions they have loaded.   I suggest someone add the appropriate field in our profiles and publish it in our avatar window in posts.   I would also like to know if it would be appropriate to add current maintenance status with an "opt out" for displaying this information.   It would make helping people so much easier

When we want to hatch a closed loop sketch curve, the feature must be done then redefine to offer the possibility to set the hatching option This is not a direct process. Please add this setting directly from the sketch definition.  

I would like to have the Where Used functionality avilable inside Windchill available inside ProE/Creo.

It is pratically impossible to see the difference between a sketch or a datum reference in a sketch: points.CSYS, axis.   Please change the geometric display of datum references.  

Would it be possible to display a Scale in the corner of the screen showing ratio of  Model or drawing that is being displayed on the screen. The scale would automatically change as you zoomed in/out from the Part or Drawing. This would be very helpful for creating intricate parts as it would be easy to know when you are seeing the true size displayed on the screen.   Regards

It would be  very useful for put an internal sketch out of the feature in order to use it for others features  

Since MacOS is more and more popular, PTC should support Creo Parametric on Apple MacOS, just like NX 9.0

Possibility to create text directly in the sketch of surface features like EXTRUDE , FILL and also for the OFFSET feature.   Actually we must do a curve sketch before and in the sketch of the surface feature, do a "Use Edge"....Sometime long...   ...And we can't use a variable text from a parameter: if the text change, the "use edge" feature fail.   (need: a variable groove number on tools....)  

For current funcationality, creo file name only support English and numbers. For NX and Solidworks, both support full lanuguages, for example japanese, Chinese, korean. PTC should provide Creo file name support other language characters to fill customers requirement

Very often I need to open more then one file at once and it isn't possible in Creo Parametric. I think standard selection modes like using <Ctrl> or <Shift> should be possible.

Show release information in Pro/E and Creo title bar, for example show as "Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0" instead of "Pro/ENGINEER", "Creo Parametric 2.0" instead of "Creo Parametric"

If a user asks for a certain function or feature the support should not just write "dear user please open a product idea". Instead the PTC support should "officially" open a new idea and offer the user to vote for it. Doing so I would call customer SUPPORT!   e.g. https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/case_solution.jsp?n=CS158767&lang=en   Please find some more explanation in the following discussion: http://communities.ptc.com/message/240782#240782

In the "New" dialogue box in Creo change the label of the "Name" field to be "File Name" since that actually what it is.  Then it will be consistent with what Windchill calls "File Name". Secondly, change the "Common Name" title in the dialogue box to be simply "Name", again this would make it consistent with what Windchill labels "Name".  Not having these two attribute titles consistent between these to tools that are intimately integrated has caused untold amounts of discussion/confusion and mistakes.  

Allow spaces in filenames.  Yeah, it's simple.  Make PTC software save files like every other software on the planet.

In general, we save a copy the file, just want to modify the saved a copy file and keep the original file. So PTC neeed change the save a copy behavior the same as the other software, for example Microsoft office and 3-rd 3D CAD Solidworks, after save a copy the file,  open the saved a copy file in session automatically.

Now launch Creo parametric, creo direct, creo schematics, creo Illustrate, creo view only via separate shortcuts. Unable to launch other application from existing launching application, I think PTC should provide the ability to switch between all the applications "on the fly", for example, switch from Creo Parametric to Creo Direct ,Creo View MCAD or Creo Illustrate, just like CATIA style. Or can launch other applications from one existing application.

Need help here.. When I Rotate Model with Y rotation 3D Image is not rotate from there positon.   I Need to update 3D Image position along with modelItem

Looking to a way to indicate the location of the other end of fibers using cross sheet graphics that does not use the row/column text.  Some uses of our designs do not keep the border with the rows and columns shown.   I am looking to use something like P21-A SHEET 2 or K12 P21-A SHEET 2We use a hybrid design system where K12 is the parent of connector P21 and A is the port id within P21. We require that the designers NOT duplicate the connector numbers, so just using that and the port will identify the connection location but adding in the component would make it easier for the user to find it on the design.

I'm working in creo schematic 2.0, m020.  How do I get the fiber labels to move with the fibers?currently when I move a fiber the label stays in the old location and doesn't move with the fiber.thank you

i have solid model, i need to select some curved edges in the model and convert in to a entities, i mean like a sketch.  so i can use for a sweep.   thanks in advance.

We have multiple versions of cross sheet graphics and sometimes a wrong one has been placed.  Is it possible to change one that has been placed without removing the connection and starting over?

With no fanfare or warning (or even a note on the help page), exporting a design sheet will save your design. If you erase parts that you do not want exported, this will erase them from your design PERMANENTLY.   At a minimum, the program should warn you and let you stop the process before it destroys design information. A better solution should be to give the user a choice to save or not to save.

It is very difficult to align the ends of the fan out portion of a fiber to a grid that is used to align fibers on the diagram.  Many times it requires a short section of a fiber to be added to link it to the grid which then blocks the automatic placement of a label for the fiber.  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS283485 'Warning "Fiber segment is too short for fiber W-# to correctly display label." when changing the label location in Creo Schematics'   Unfortunately, the proffered "solution" is unworkable.  "Workaround- Modify the fiber to increase its length so that label can be displayed"Doing that either requires that the main part of the fiber be kept off grid to the location the fan out creates or that the short, odd angle, extension be lengthened to take up much more space and put the label in an awkward location.   The only real work around I have been able to find is to create a label elsewhere along the fiber and move it into the desired pos

Bonjour,   Le logiciel PTC EXPRESS ne se lence plus.  Problème (proxy name) que dois-je faire pour que sa fonctionne a nouveau merci.
