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?

When renaming a Creo part in Windchill, "new number" is unavailable to be edited. Only New Name and New File Name are available. Is that locked by PTC? Or because my role is "mentor" and not Project Manager?Thanks,Lyric RosattiMentor for Team 4230

This video gives a quick example of how design teams can work together, collaboratively in PTC Creo with PTC Windchill. CAD files can be downloaded by multiple users to multiple work spaces and then updated when other users check in new changes to those CAD files. The out-of-date indicator in PTC Windchill should make it much easier for FIRST teams working in PTC Creo to work together and always have access to the latest CAD file being created and updated by their team mates.   (view in My Videos)

We are trying to capture two different variations or designs in a part. In each variation several dimensions on the part change. Is there an easy way to capture both the varaitions and easily switch between the two? We tried to use family tables. But it looks like once you use a specific instance of the family table in your assembly you cannot easily change it to another instance of the family table.Would love to hear ideas ....

Simple design for a pewter casting tray.

I am having some bad issues with Creo parametric when i zoom in and out. I will post an attachment below of the problem. I hope someone can help and post specific instructions as i am very new to Creo. Thanks in advance.

how to involve mouse cursor for zoom?

We have 2.0 installed in our school lab.  Can we upgrade our academic license to 3.0?  I have tried to find an email address that I can post this question to and have not gotten any response back.

I have the server set up successfully.  Is there a way to script the installation of Creo 3.0?  Ideally, I would just put this on an image and reimage the whole lab as I do for Autocad during the summers.  However the teacher has requested this piece of software now, so I'm trying to see if I can just script the install to push out via our software distribution box (Dell K1000).   I can't seem to find any way to script the server name into a batch file.  Anyone know if this exists?   Windows 7x64 Creo 3.0 Server license installed on a separate PC successfully, and can manually install the Creo software on another computer pointing to the server for the license successfully as well.   Carl

ROBOTalk – October 28, 2015   In our sixth webinar of the 2015 season, we learned about production from an industry perspective with Josh Houser, learned the basics of part creation in PTC Creo from Chris Carr, and explored the new 3D printing capabilities in PTC Creo with Mark Cheli.   Recorded Video Link – Streaming:          Video Link : 7207 Download:          https://ptc.webex.com/ptc/ldr.php?RCID=9434425d286981d9a07b3fee26b57f68   Note: The WebEx ARF player is required to playback the recording if you download it.

I can´t open files created in student's version. Is there any way how to make it?

HI,I have instaled Creo 3.0 several times and I can not open the program, It hapened the same with Creo 2.0.I click to the program icon and nothing happens.What is wrong? Thank you so much,Reme

I mean to ask Does my CREO 1.0 license still works and I can CREO School edition even after the 1 year duration of license expiration?
