Hello, I am relatively new to Creo illustrate and I wanted to ask for a guide to creating manuals (lets say I created a figure and now I want to display the figure and the respective sBOM in a manual format) since I saw that the software has the capability to do so. Also, I heard you can export it as 3D pdf or Jpeg is there a more optimal way or a standard protocol when creating manuals using Creo illustrate? Thank you.

Hi @agarland    On a similar note - I've found out that the linking process is based on Feature IDs. When updating the linked PVZ file, components (parts or assemblies) in   eBOM and sBOM and all of their visual attributes in Figures are compared and retained / erased based on their IDs. Those IDs are not changeable in Creo as far as I know. And IDs change whenever you change a component or replace it. In every such case the data in figures for this component is erased in every figure.    Here's an example - I've got a top assembly which contains a pallet (which in turn consists of several parts). Someone revised the pallet assembly and added several new parts retaining the rest. In the top assembly they for some reason deleted the pallet assembly and assembled the same .asm component.    The result is that the pallet is the same item as it used to but with a new Feature ID. When you open any c3di file which contains this top assembly the pa

Hello, I just wanted to ask if there is a way that I can adjust my line thickness while using the HLR mode? let's say there are some parts in the model where I want thicker lines and other parts of the model with thinner lines. Thank you 

Hello,I have few harness installs that are needed to be converted into either .obj or .stl files. It is not convertible directly. IS there a alternative way to do those. Please help. As i need those to be worked on in a 3D software Blender. Which accepts either of those two file extensions as inputs

No meu software versão 5.0, ao mudar uma peça do 3D para desenho 2D os elementos como parafusos e molas mesmo com esboço oculto e apenas extrudado está aparecendo automaticamente a linha de esboço dos elementos, que só fica oculta se selecionar cada componente e ocultar o esboço dentro da folha de desenho 2D, coisa que antes não ocorria.

Hi, I am fairly new to CREO Schematics. So far I have been creating parts that come in 1 piece. The next challenge is to define a part with related accessories. Examples are:- A power switch mounted on a DIN rail with terminal covers and the shaft to connect to the rotator on the door (see image below)- A relay holder on a Din rail and the relay to plug into it (see image below)- A terminal block with a jumper to make a connection between the jumpers The goal is to have all these parts in Creo Schematics to allow outputting a complete BOM of parts with their related accessories. I am using Creo schematics 10.  

Anyone have a suggestion on how to manage a cable/harness in Schematics (by dataset) to a quantity of 1? We have harnesses that are 10 conductor and 12 conductor. We apply a dataset, example 10HRNS1, 10HRNS2, 12HRNS1, 12HRNS2, etc. We need to limit these to be quantity of 1 each so we do not run into errors on the BOM since they are same part number but labeled differently. So my 10HRNS1 can only be quantity 1, 10HRNS2 can only be quantity 1, 12HRNS1 can only be quantity 1 and 12HRNS2 can only be quantity 1. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello All, For example, ability to cut a part of a case (see black line) best wishes, Gabi

As a company, in 2022 we downloaded Creo Illustrate 8.0. I have just started using it and am stuck on this issue. Currently, when we go into Windchill (version 11, soon will be going to version 12) we access an .asm file and convert it to a .pvz file and then use that in Creo Illustrate to make images for use in end-user manuals. Our understanding is that when a pvz is created it “breaks the link” between the active version in Windchill and what’s being used in Creo Illustrate. So, if our current model is Revision A and we have created 20 different figure views and then changes are made several times and we are now using Revision C, this means the file information in Creo is outdated, correct? How, if at all possible, can we automatically update the files in Creo Illustrate to Rev C without having to redo all 20 images? Is this can be done, how do we do it?  If this is not available in Creo Illustrate 8.0, is it available in a more current version?The pers

 I need to create a note with a symbol similar to a drop, in the notes menu there are only square, triangle, ellipse... I would like to know if there is a way to customize these shapes? 

Hello, I am the Creo Librarian for my team and we had an issue recently that caused some folks Creo Schematics files to error during the syncing process.  They get the error "This file contains an item name that already exists in the design."  This had to do with a datatable issue and we have been able to correct most peoples files by going into that datatable and deleting the duplicate parts.  However, on some of the designs, the datatable in question is not appearing in the datatable explorer and I am not sure how to recover that datatable as the program is saying that it already exists within the design.  Is there a way to recover said datatable or am I looking in the wrong location to get it back into the datatable explorer. Thanks, Justin

Hello,What is the difference b/w isodraw vs creo illustrate? Is Creo illustrate replacing IsoDraw? What points should i consider if i want to upgrade to creo illustrate?

Hello, I wanted to ask regarding the fade out feature. So while animating I used the fade out feature and it worked initially, after I ran the animation again whenever I fade out my parts they go into the 'wireframe' appearance instead of disappearing. Also, I checked the transparent % and it was at 0% but it still looks like the picture I shared below. Thank you. 

Hi Support Team,I’m currently using Creo WebGL 11.0 and working with large scenes containing thousands of .ol files. Is there any way to optimize the performance of WebGL scene rendering in this context? Even though not all nodes are rendered at once, I’d appreciate any recommendations on what aspects can be optimized to improve performance.

I am working on a specific module which is a part of an bigger assembly. I simply don't want to waste the time and open the entire assembly every time. So I'm trying to select the only impacted CAD modules and work on them in CreoView.When I open these individual CAD modules in CreoView, the CAD modules are not getting mated together at their designated locations like they would when I open the bigger assembly, but instead they are appearing at distant places from each other as if they have their own co-ordinate system.It is not taking/remembering the distances it was assembled in the bigger assembly.When I open from WindChill, I just type in the CAD module number and search them and open a new session in CreoView. I then open the neighboring CAD module (which gets mated to the previous one) from WindChill and when I add them to the session in which our previous CAD module is present, it doesn't get mated at all. Im only using CreoView and want to understand how I can get the

Hello, I recently finished a 3-D CAD design utilizing mechanisms and animations from Creo Parametric. I wanted to ask if there would be away for me to utilize this animations and import it to Creo illustrate mainting both the motor movement and constraints used? Thank you.

See the attached screenshot.  I've reinstalled CREO view several times, checked the checksum, I really dont know what to do here. It's incredibly unreadable. Is there somewhere i can try an older version of CREO view?

Are combined state descriptions available in Creo View and Is it possible to add a column to the Viewables tab to display them? 

I'm working with my IT dept to try and install Creo View en masse and they are asking for a .msi file. Is there a way too get one? The default download on PTC Support is just the .exe in a ZIP. Has anyone done a mass install of Creo View? Any recommendations for tackling this?  Trying to install V11.1
