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.

Dear Experts,Can we disable/lock the option Monochrome display from active view in creo view ?Is it possible to lock/ disable these settings using server_prefs.xml file ?If yes, kindly guideThanksAthmanand

Dear Experts,I am sure everyone are aware that we have an app ( Creo view mobile Creo View Mobile on the App Store on iTunes) in i-tunes where we can visualize 3d filesI would like to configure this app with our WindchillCan anyone suggest the steps to achieve this ?Thanks,Athmanand

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.

When routing wires and cables manually, a reference designator is created for the connectors / components to and from which the cable is routed. This creates a Reference Designator.   How do you change the name of the Reference Designator? Here's what doesn't work: Selecting the Annotation and RMB Properties. Adding a column for REF_DES in the Model Tree and changing the name there.   How do you change it? (Hint: the Help Section won't tell you how.)   Click on the Cabling Parameters command and then select the component. Then you can change the name in the Electrical Parameters dialog box.   This needs to be easier and more intuitive.

Many CAD packages have worked with 3D Connexion to add their "auto-center" feature as an enhancement to their CAD experience.  I see value in designers using a 3D mouse in collaboration with their CAD program, e.g. CREO, but ONLY if the "auto-center" is incorporated into its functionality.   Please contact me, or 3D connexion for the appropriate contact to allow our designer's to efficiently use this hardware to boost the CAD experience with CREO and the 3D mouse.  This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Thanks to all who have responded 🙂The simplest solution is:T_Name = extract(asm_mbr_name,1,12) then in your repeat region add &rpt.rel.T_NAMEIf you have a filename less than 12 characters, the ITEM column will be null. You will need to write additional relation to correct these conditions.Operators and Functions for StringsThe following operators and functions are supported for strings:==Compares strings as equal.!=, <>, ~=Compares strings as unequal.+Concatenates strings.itos(int)Converts integers to strings. Here, int can be a number or an expression. Nonintegers are rounded off.search(string, substring)Searches for substrings. The resulting value is the position of the substring in the string (0 if not found).extract(string, position, length)Extracts pieces of strings.For example:If param = abcdef, then:•flag = param == abcdef—returns TRUE•flag = abcdef != ghi—returns TRUE•new = param + ghi—new is abcdefghi•new = itos(10 + 7)—new is 17•new = param + itos(1.5)—new is abcde

Can anyone tell me why Creo View Express 3.0 will not open a .drw from the Wildfire version, specifically WF4.0..??

I think this should be able to implement this functionality in model and sketch, to be able to set snaplines already and once in sketch or model and then if user wish to show annotation on drawing or more drawings view all dimmensions will be cleanup already!
