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

‌Hi,We are setting up general admin prefs. and a shared symbol libr. for our illustrators.its working well for the symbol library...but for some reason i cant find the xml in the user_prefs.xml for setting the minimum label size for annotations.standard it starts up with automatic character size but i want the value of 2 characters for our illustrators.Does anyone knows where i can vind it?thanks

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!

Hi,I am creating an animation. It is coming along, however, I noticed the file size is very large-- 50 MB. Is it because my models are high poly? If so is there a way to reduce the file size. If its a model issue, would combing parts into one object be helpful in reducing the size? Any other possiblites, suggestion?Thank you!Liza

Hi,   Is it perhaps possible to "move through" a part/model in Illustrate? For example, let's say you have a model of a gun turret and you want to do a fly-through, first showing the outside and then the inside of the turret, is it possible to move the camera view through the outside of the turret to take shots of the inside? Has anyone tried doing fly-throughs using Illustrate?   Thanks!

Creo Illustrate 3.0 M030 will ship in mid-February and this blog and video provides a sneak peak at what will be new in this latest release.   There are 3 major enhancements in this release: Externalize text from illustrations for translation; enabling multi-language illustrations Export an image map file to enable hotspots on a raster image Improve file performance for large models with many figures   There are also a number of smaller enhancements and it’s worth noting that these are now detailed in the regular Creo Illustrate documentation (any late breaking news will still be in the ‘read this first’ which ships with the product and is also on PTC.com).   I hope you find this information helpful     

I have a version of IsoDraw from the days of Itedo (pre PTC). How do I go about getting an update to IsoDraw?

Hello, I am making some animations, and I have been trying to reduce the extra space that is in the video file. When I change the dimensions as I export it, it seems to shrink, but not get rid of the excess white space. Is there a better way to get it cropped better? In the picture below, I want it to be where the red box is. The smaller picture is when I changed the ratio to 640 by 480 vs the original 1256 by 480. I like the height, but there is too much width that onlyshrinks the whole animation when I make is smaller. Sincerely,Dustine

After all of these years... Why does Creo still not have Polygon and Slot as standard options?? Am I missing something?   Add Polygon to rectangle and Slot to Ellipse?
