I am using student version of creo. and Afer making some assemblies, and in the meacnism mode, I cant add the servo motor to a joint, or an axis, as no axis marks are shown.Please give me a hint on this.Great thanks.

Is there a way to edit an offset that you create in a sketch?

Working on a project, I incorrectly named my parts, so i went back and renamed them all correctly (Manage File --> Rename --> part name). The Assembly worked and opened up, but the drawing came up with errors for every part used " ____ not found in this directory". Is there anything i can do to recover my drawing in this version of Creo?

Hi,Is it reasonable to use PTC CREO on a MacBook Pro with a parallels desktop system running? And are there any limitations whatsoever in the student version? Thank you for your help.

Just wondering if the 2014-2015 FRC Grant recipients have be announced? Our submission still reports "In-Progress"Thanks,Mike U.

Edit: The URL for the License Utility worked! ..temporarily. I got the utility downloaded, which solved my issue. But now when I got back, it gives me a 404 again. It seems that when I manually type it in, it works, but when I click a link or copy / paste it, it gives me a 404?? Really weird. I attached a screenshot of it in 404 mode.I also got what a google search reveals is a common issue, of the "Quality Agent" not being able to do whatever it needs to do. Right clicking creo and running as administrator solved the issue, as it allowed creo to do whatever it needs to do with the Quality Agent when I clicked "yes" to tell it to go ahead and do... whatever.Hello, I was trying to get Creo 1.0 working on my computer, following the instructions here: http://support.ptc.com/appserver/wcms/standards/freefull_cs.jsp?&im_dbkey=151798&icg_dbkey=896That page directs me to install the "Creo 1.0 License Utility" located at http://free-dl.ptc.com/install/Setup.exe That website gives me a

Yesterday I had Mathcad Prime 3.0 installed and running. Today I had to restore Windows 7, so I tried to install Prime again after downloading pim_installmgr_mathcad.exe again, but it won't re-install -only the quality agent. PTC Mathcad and Mathcad PDSi viewable won't re-install.

Hi,   I have purchased an academic copy of Creo 2 online and downloaded the installer and ran it as an administrator. the installer starts taking me through the steps to completion and recognizes my supplied licence for the product, however when it comes to the “Applications” section it crashes and the error message “PTC installation assistant has stopped working” is produced. Please find attached a screenshot of this message.   I have browsed the forum and this seems to be a fairly common issue but no simple answer seems to have been given on there. At first I assumed that it must be my schools edition of Creo/Elements Pro needing uninstalling in order to complete the process, so I uninstalled that but it made no difference. I have tried downloading another copy of the installer but this also does not work.   is there something that I am missing or is there a bug in the installer that I have? Kind Regards, Mike

Hi i have been trying to get Creo 2.0 to work on my laptop as i need it to do my university work. i have registered for it downloaded the programmes and i do not have a licence number/ file. i really need help resolving this as i need to do my work and i am unable to untill this is resoved. thank you.

I am trying to 3D print a sphere with details etched into it and I am looking for the best approach and processes to use. My goal is to make a Christmas ornament with designs cut out.

I used to use Pro/E 2000i daily 10+ years ago. I haven't touched any CAD program in over 10 years but trying to teach students CAD basics and coupling that with a 3D printer. I just installed Creo 3.0 and I'm struggling with creating sketches. In creating sketches in Pro/E 2000i, I used to "use edge" a lot with the trimming functions or align a line with a face or plane that already existed in 3d. Do these still exist in the sketch functionality or do I have to let Creo dimension and then delete and re-dimension based on how I want to adjust my model? Thanks for teaching this old dog new tricks!

I'm the main CAD designer for my FTC team, Fireworks. I recently switched to PTC from Autodesk and followed the download instructions exactly step by step. However, when I tried to open a saved assembly, it wasn't working and all the parts showed up in red. I also tried making a simulation but a window popped up saying I don't have a "PTC Simulate license" or something similar. Does anyone else have this problem, and how can I solve it?

I have installed Creo 3 - this time I have got it to open up the latest version but I am receiving the licence request failure message.I used the educational standalone and removed all previous licences on installation.I would appreciate any advice to get this running.NeilShortly after posting this message I was sent the licence .dat file which I dragged and dropped into the licensing box and removed all other entries.The same fault is happening. Is this a license for Creo 3 because in the email it refers to Creo 2.I am not having much luck here.

I'm a FRC mentor who recently got a new computer, and want to install Creo on it. I tried using the product code from the first time that I got it (as told to do over in the FIRST forums - they told me via PM that the product code is the same for all students), and when I put the product code in to to the installer, it asks me to login to ptc.com, and then simply tells me "Error!". If I hover over it, it says to please contact PTC license support.   What do I need to do to get Creo on this machine? FWIW, I downloaded it again from https://www.ptc.com/appserver/auth/it/esd/academic.jsp and still no dice.

Hi I'm a student that's trying to install the Student Edition of Creo 3.0, but when I get to the part in installation process where I'm supposed to type in the product license, it won't let me type it in. Any ideas? I've already tried turning my anti-virus off.

Hello!On behalf of the PTC Academic Team, I’d like to apologize for the confusion over the past few months. We are in the process of re-organizing our Global Academic Program in hopes that all of our programs around the world can be synchronized, enabling even greater collaboration. The best way to find out more information about our Academic Program is through our newly designed website: www.ptc.com/go/academicprogram. Below, I’ve outlined some of the main changes to our program:Software:PTC still offers free software to schools and students. Now the process to receive free software has gotten even easier. All a student or school needs to do is fill out the registration form below:http://www.ptc.com/communities/academic-program/products/free-softwareAfter registering, they will be directed to another page with detailed instructions on installing and configuring Creo. Scalextric 4 Schools:We are excited to announce a new organizational strategy in our partnership with Hornby Railways.

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Creo 2.0 Student Version. Everytime I try to open the program, it takes around 15 Minutes until the creo-window opens.. I can see the process of Creo right after I clicked on the icon. Does anyone have the same problem or a solution? I´m using Windows 7 with an i5 4570 and 8GB Ram, should be enough for Creo. Best regardsOliver

I recently downloaded my school's version of ProE to my laptop. When I start the program the main menu of proE is displayed but I have an warning message that reads: Warning Message List License Request failed for feature Requesting PROE_Schools... C:\Program Files\Creo Elements\Pro Schools Edition\text\licensing\lisence.data (-2) Invalid license file syntax When I click ok it just closes itself out and I am unable to use ProE. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?? thanks!

Does anyone know the email address of those who are responsible for the Schools Program in the UK? I gather they are based now in USA. I've already sent two emails to a number of personnel but as yet no reply. It seems I must have the incorrect email addresses. How someone can help!

We are using Creo to create our Bill Of Materials. We have modified every part and added, Price, Supplier, Rule (FTC Game Rule Allowing The Part), and Description parameters. Then in a drawing, we create the table. This works really cool. As we add parts to the robot, the BOM is automatically updated and it includes the game rules for using the part. It also provides a total cost to the robot. But the number show up as 13,050 and not 13.050. I know this the "European Style". Where can change it so that it is decimal? We just used a Blank A drawing for the drawing template. We do use the metric template as our default template for the robot assembly.Also while on topic, can we have it to two decimal places than 3 so it show 13.05 instead of 13.050.

ROBOTalk – November 19, 2014In our tenth and final webinar of the 2014 season, we discussed why we all get involved with FIRST, along with a segment on how to manage CAD data using PTC Windchill directly from PTC Creo.  We also had two guest speakers from FTC Team 3486, the Techno Warriors Advanced, who shared their engineering design process, their online engineering notebook, and what their Creo model of their robot looks like this year.Recorded Video Link –Download: http://apps.ptc.com/schools/FIRST/Robotalk/ROBOTalk-20141119%202359-1.arfNote: The WebEx ARF player is required to playback the recording if you download it.

Hey there I got a problem with my Creo 3.0 student installation.I can start Creo Simulate lite on my system and as far as I know, I have the licence for it, as written here:http://communities.ptc.com/thread/53041But then I am in simulate lite, I can't do anything. But I don't even get a licence error.I can't make my way through the process guide. The links, that you should click to define loads, constraints and so on are missing. The text boxes are empty.According to a tutorial on youtube it should look like this:What can I do about this?Thanks and regards

ROBOTalk – November 12, 2014In our ninth webinar of the season, we discussed the importance of business plans for teams, along with a segment on how to uses sketches in PTC Creo to complement the design process.  We also had a guest speaker and Mathcad expert, John Sheehan, review how teams can use the power of natural equations in PTC Mathcad to solve some of the more difficult problems encountered in robot design like 2-jointed arm motion.Recorded Video Link –Download:  http://apps.ptc.com/schools/FIRST/Robotalk/ROBOTalk-20141113%200005-1.arfNote: The WebEx ARF player is required to playback the recording if you download it.

This morning I received a YouTube link from my son Tom who is teaching English in Japan.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_CDLBTJD4M What a wonderful setting for the art/musical installation. Initial awe and amazement was soon replaced by lots of questions including; how did they arrive at the angles to control the speed and how did they make and tune so many notes?This reminded me of a proof of concept I did some time ago with Andy, a top PTC Application Engineer. These engineers support customers so need to be able to make PTC Creo sing(!) and dance.  My question to Andy was "I want to create a set of wind chimes with specific notes/frequencies. Can PTC Creo Simulate tell me the resonant frequency of a tube and then alter the length of the tube to achieve a specific frequency?".He came up with the attached models and the process described below.The "chime.prt" PTC Creo model was used to run a PTC Creo Simulate modal analysis to find the natural frequency. The part is aluminium 2in
