Hi,Have you ever wondered when Windchill will complete your CAD conversions to Creo View format so you can view them online? You can always open the WVS Job Monitor to see the status of your own jobs, but you cannot see where they are in comparison to everyone else's jobs. This makes it difficult to know for sure when all the jobs that could be ahead of you will complete.If you want to have immediate access to your CAD models in Windchill, there is a great way to do this in Creo. File, Checkin, Custom Checkin and then "Models and Viewables". This will create all the Creo View files on your local machine while the files are open and submit them along with the CAD to be updated in Windchill. It is a super fast way to create all the required Creo View files and they will be available on the server immediately.If you want to share your CAD models with others, outside Windchill, use the File, Save As, Save a Copy option and choose Creo View (pvz) from the Type menu. Now you'll have a single

Windchill creates a published "representation" of Creo CAD files after successful check in. These representations are Creo View files and Creo View thumbnails that are viewed in Windchill with Creo View. By default, this information is not displayed in the project tabs, but you can easily create a representation tab with all the info.   The default tabs for a CAD file are shown below. To create a new tab, you must be a member of the Project Manager role in your team's Windchill project. To create the new tab, select the + tab and name it accordingly. To add content to the tab, use the Customize button to add the Representations/Annotations panel. The Representations/Annotations panel will look like this, but include information for the CAD file you are looking at. If for some reason your Creo View published representation is missing or out of date, you can use the Republish option to create a new one.   Note: The new tab will only be visible to the user creating the tab.

help. how do I fix this?

Creo Parametric includes the capability to share your CAD design with Creo View, a lightweight viewing tool for Creo. The Creo View files are much smaller than the original CAD files and can be easily shared via email or file sharing. Creo View comes with some nice rendering option and the "tumble" capability which makes booth demos and explanations of your CAD design much easier than loading the full CAD model in Creo Parametric. Try it out!   PS. If you're not sure where to get Creo View, visit your Windchill project and check the Software Downloads link. Creo View is available to everyone participating in FIRST, its only available from your Windchill Project and it does not require any special licensing. It can be installed on just about any PC, but it does not support MacOS at this time.       (view in My Videos)

So i made this MathCAD file with fully planetary gear ratio calculation, all you need is to put the motor name in, put ring gear teeth number (teeth_of_sun_gear + 2*number_of_planet_gear) in, and sun gear teeth number (teeth_of_ring_gear - 2*number_of_planet_gear) in. It will automatically generate 8 kind of situations, with different speed output in rpm. Bilingual version !   Chinese and English !Gary from Team 4001

Hi, how i can invite students to "thingworx"? Previously worked this through the "students whitelist". But I can find the "stundent whitelist" nowhere. I hope someone can help me. Greetings, Michael

Hi,Tonight is the last RoboTALK webcast for 2015 and I have 10 minutes on the agenda for Windchill. If you have questions or issues you'd like to have covered, post them here and I'll do my best to get them into tonight's session. If not, I'm happy to answer them here anytime.

I had initially installed Creo 3.0 M040 with the schools configuration, but find that the "simplified" interface was too limiting - specifically too many tools were missing from the sketch ribbon. Is there a simple way to revert to the standard interface, other than deleting and reinstalling the program? Even better, is there a text file we can edit to pick and choose the customization? I know there's a graphical ribbon customization tool, but it's a pretty tedious way to reinstate commands if there are a lot of them.ThanksNoa

Hello, I followed the steps that you told me to make sure all parts are on the file. Would you be able to take a look and tell me where the problem is so that I can make a working servo motor and simulate its movement in motor analysis.

Hi, In the last step of "Events and Subscriptions", there is a note :There are two entries in the stream: one for when the temperature became high and one for when the humidity became high. These entries may vary depending upon the time the temperature and humidity values were changed. If you changed both temperature and humidity in one 30 second timer interval, both entries will indicate that temperature and humidity are high. This is because the timer did not capture the moment when only the temperature was high. If they were spread across two timer intervals, there will be one temperature high entry and one temperature and humidity high entry.This note concern the ThingTemplate VendingMachineTemplate's subscription "ACMETimer30S" rathen than VendingMachineShape's subscriptions, doesn't it ? The Timer subscription will be fired every 30s and will check for a potential problem. The 2 subscriptions of "VMTemperatureHigh" and "VMHumidityHigh" will be fired one after another when we set

In this video, FRC Team #3491, Absolute Zero Electricity, shows us how to design a scissor mechanism in PTC Creo.     (function() { var wrapper = document.getElementById('lia-vid-1sMDE1YzE6tdwguqn23JyL80z6BhtphYw400h300r392'); var videoEl = wrapper ? wrapper.querySelector('video-js') : null; if (videoEl) { if (window.videojs) { window.videojs(videoEl).ready(function() { this.on('loadedmetadata', function() { this.el().querySelectorAll('.vjs-load-progress div[data-start]').forEach(function(bar) { bar.setAttribute('role', 'presentation'); bar.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true'); }); }); }); } }})();(view in My Videos)

ROBOTalk – November 11, 2015   In our eighth webinar of the 2015 season, we were introduced to Field Support by Alyssa Walker and learned about the Internet of Things from Jordan Cox. We also explored the connections that can be made between National Instrument’s RoboRIO and PTC’s latest Internet of Things development software, Thingworx.   Jordan Cox also introduced the PTC 3D Mascot Challenge for all FIRST teams!

Hi all,We have made this post in order for you to address any questions you have regarding the PTC IoT Academic Program so we can provide a quick answer to them.Thanks,

Lots of people have asked about how to create a 3D model from an image or use an image in their 3D model. This is a rather big topic to cover, but I'll try give you a few options and you can explore from there.   Creating a Sketch from an Image If you'd like to create a sketch from an image, check out this document2015 First World Championship Creo Modeling Challenge #2 - FIRST Logo Sketch‌. It does not give away the full process, but it will get your mind thinking about how to create an accurate sketch using an image as a reference. Most of the people working on this challenge needed a little help with the View, Model Display, Images settings to get the image located and sized on a datum plane, but after that they were off to the races. Give it a shot.   Once you have the sketch created, you can make any 3D geometry you need from it, but keep in mind you might need to break up the image into multiple sketches based on the desired geometry.   Using an Image as a Label/D

I seem to be having trouble when converting this .prt file into a .stl file. When converting the file, the paddles in the middle of the wheel seem to disappear.I'm trying to print this out using our 3D printer, I tried to find solutions like merging the sides, but it doesn't seem to work.  Does anyone know why this may be happening, and how I might go about fixing this?I've attached the .prt file that I'm having a problem with.Also, I'm using PTC Creo 3.0 on Windows x64Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,When I save my Creo model in my local directory, it works fine. But when I tried to migrate to the Windchill workspace, it says that the parts I use already exist and that I would be overwriting them by saving again, does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi, Scott,I watched your concurrent design video. Love it. My team is used to Github for sharing Java code. This will be a very good analogy for the CAD model development. I am wondering if the same holds true for subassembly. If one team member is working on chassis subassembly and another team member is working on electrical systems (such as controllers, PDM and etc). The second team members will place the electrical systems on to the chassis. If the first team member updated the chassis, I assume the second team member can get the updated chassis subassembly in the same way. And if the original parts in the chassis where the controllers were placed on is gone, Creo will report error so the second team member can place the controller onto a new place on the chassis. Is this correct expectation? We are trying to divide the work among several team members. Thanks.Fang

I am not sure how that I can simulate motor movement, would someone be able to assist me in the selection of constraints?

Where is the solid surfacing command.  It was under the pull down now missing in 3.0?

Hey everyone, I need some help with my creo 3.0 parametric student download. It doesnt seem to work right, because i cant find the file. All i can find is creo 3.0 view express (??). I dont even know where that came from, but any ideas on what i might have done wrong? Thank you in advance.

@

where can I download the 3.0 creo software? I am going to the PTC training tomorrow.

The final step of installation for creo 3.0 is not working. When installing the programs i selected, they don't download and say unsuccessful. Any idea what the problem is?
