PTC Education

Hello,I am trying to remove a twist in the middle of a section. The online PTC program told me to right-click a vertex of the end point of the blend and then select "Start Point" but this option doesn't seem to be there? I would appreciate some help.Thanks

Hey there,I'm a Student from Austria and I have bought that Student DVD at the University of Applied Science in Kufstein on 30/12/10. I used it on my Parallels Windows Partition on Mac and it worked pretty fine.Now i have got a new Mac and deleted this Windows Partition and the Licence I have created on that time.Is there any possibility to recreate this Licence to work with that DVD again?I tried to use the online Licence Tools but i have no permission as we have created Basic Accounts i guess.So now im sitting infront of my kind of useless ProE Wildfire 5.0 Student Edition DVD and have no clue what to do.Hope anybody of you could help me with this issue.Best RegardsDominik

For anyone using a Yahoo.com email address, Yahoo.com changed their security policy and no longer allows email to be sent via Yahoo.com unless it originates from Yahoo.com. This is very different from all the other email providers. Details of the change are described in the following links. PCWorld - Yahoo email anti-spoofing policy breaks mailing listsYahoo Help - Email service providers can't send to / from Yahoo addressesYahoo Tumblr - Yahoo DMARC Policy Change - What Should Senders Do?If you have a Yahoo.com email account, you will more than likely experience some issues sending team invites or using the Email Page option in Windchill. In the cases I have seen, the email from Windchill will be bounced back to the sender becuase the message is telling the receiving email system to reject it if the message did not originate from Yahoo.com. PTC is looking into the issue now to determine what options are available to work around this change by Yahoo.com without having a significant imp

For anyone interested in the CAD files for my entry in the October 1st ROBOTalk design challenge, I have posed the files here. If you are not familiar with the challenge, here is a description of the goal:Design a conceptual model of a robot with a lift mechanism (i.e. scissor, slider, etc.) that can lift a wiffle ball 120 cm. The starting conditions for the robot are that it has to fit in a cube 18in x 18in x 18 in.My description for the project is below:I finished a model for my team, FTC team 542 WHS Robotics. The drive train is our CAD model from one of our robots from last season. The lift, however, is new and definitely only a conceptual model. It is a mixed design between a four bar linkage and a linear elevator: it uses drawer slides to extend the links in the four bar arm. This idea came from one of my team's potential designs for the Ring it up! season that was ultimately scrapped in the brainstorming phase. Please note that the two-part slide models were simplified from the

Anyone have a drawing format with a parametric Bill of Material that they are willing to shareB size in Landscape is my preferance if so please email to -I am using creo 1.0 student version

We're excited about the new Windchill server, and would like to try using it to work collaboratively on our CREO models this build season. I have a small group of students ready to start designing some stuff right away, but I'm having trouble adding them to our Windchill project. The students who were already on Windchill seem to still be there, but if I search for other returning team members the search comes back empty. They can still login to their PTC accounts, but I can't find them on Windchill. We have been able to add a new student who just created her account a week ago, it seems to only be a problem with older accounts. Does anyone have any suggestions?Thanks,Noa RensingFRC Team 2877 The LigerbotsNewton MA

Subject instructions are to "unzip" the zip file. However, there is not one file but two ('MED-100WIN-CD-390_M120_Win32-64.zip.part' and 'MED-100WIN-CD-390_M120_HelpCenter.zip.part'), and neither are .zip files: both are .part files. One cannot "unzip" .part files until they are successfully merged into a single .zip file. Can someone please provide the instructions for accomplishing this merge operation?

This question comes up frequently, so I thought it would be good to get a note out to everyone. In most schools, you cannot send an email to a student's "school" email address from outside the school's domain. Teachers and other students can email each other becuase they all have an account on the same closed system.When adding new team members to your Windchill project, it is best to use the student's personal email address. An address that is not restricted by the school. I understand some students may not have an external email address. You'll need to work with those students and their parents to confirm their use of an external email address and discuss any restrictions applied to the account.The Windchill invitations are sent from the Windchill server, using the email ID you used for your PTC account. If any of the recipients are blocking "unknown" email addresses, your message will be rejected or sent directly to the Spam folder. If you can send a message to everyone from your ow

ROBOTalk – October 8, 2014   In our fourth webinar of the season, we discussed fundraising for teams, along with how to create subassemblies in PTC Creo.  We also toured the newest curriculum by the PTC Academic team, called “How to Model Almost Anything” version 2.   Recorded Video Link – Download:  http://apps.ptc.com/schools/FIRST/Robotalk/ROBOTalk-20141008%202300-1.arf   Note: The WebEx ARF player is required to playback the recording if you download it.

I'm having trouble assigning, accepting or reassigning tasks (action items). I get a message stating that I can only reassign workflow tasks that I own or are in an object that I manage. I doubt I manage the context, but I created the task and assigned it to myself, so I thought I should be able to reassign.Anyone else having this trouble? It seems to happen with both a Site and a FIRST level account.

I recently downloaded Mathcad Prime 2.0 academic version for use by my FTC team, but every mathcad worksheet file I try to read gives me the following error: What did I do wrong or does the version I have not read all these files? Thanks, Rookie Coach FTC Team 8477 rOHMing Robots

ROBOTalk - Design Challenge October 1, 2014 Design a conceptual model of a robot with a lift mechanism (i.e. scissor, slider, etc.) that can lift a wiffle ball 120 cm. The starting conditions for the robot are that it has to fit in a cube 18in x 18in x 18 in.Post a picture of your concept model and a short description to the PTC Community site. The best entry this week will get a PTC give-away!

I'm seeing some issues in Team management.1. I'm unable to add members with Site level accounts into roles other than their initial one. The search options only seem to return First level accounts and I haven't figured out how to edit a Site level account into a First account. We've got mentors who are PTC customers with preexisting accounts. Rather than force them to create new accounts with different email addresses, I'd like for them to be able to work with their current accounts.2. Search function in Add Members time's out before it returns results. Sometimes this is recoverable with wait or refresh attempts, but it looks like it's searching a large dataset that doesn't have a good index.3. Using local email client to send mail to the team transfers the subject line, but not the addressees from Windchill.

I think there is a problem with the Creo model set I downloaded from the PTC FIRST site. The toughbox on back side of AM14U Wide assembly is too low. Looks like output shaft is mated to lower bearing instead of upper. I pulled a fresh set down to make sure the problem was not something I did locally. Maybe this can be fixed before a lot of teams try to use the models.

As part of a continuous improvement process, I would like to reach out to the community to see if anyone would be willing to volunteer to support an "Academic Server Advisory Group". I'm envisioning the group as a collection of Windchill Administrators, PTC Power Users, Industry Experts and others who would like to help guide the direction, configuration and customization of the Academic Windchill server; all with an eye toward FIRST and high school students as the primary users.Its not a big time commitment. I'd like to start with a closed group in the community to share where we've been and we're we'd like to get to. From there, its really up to you how you'd like to participate. Happy to have people take on an advisory role, but also looking for people to contribute ideas, suggestions and experiences from their own Windchill implmentation.If you're interested, simply reply here or send me a private message. Once I've got a handfull of people, I'll get things started.

I do not know how to find the product code for the academic edition of the Creo 2.0 in order to finish the installation of the software.

Whenever I try to align to parts on the same axis, it does this. It makes it very difficult to assemble parts; I have to guess at which one is the correct piece. Someone from the Creo Workshop said that this was a configuration problem, but I'm unsure how to fix it. Help, please? Thank you!

I'm currently trying to reproduce the concept model that Jordan made on this week's Robotalk, but I'm having a tough time with it. I'm not sure if its the fact that I'm still using 2.0, and he was running 3.0, or if I'm doing something else completely different. I'd like to get this figured out, so I can assist my teams this weekend as they work on their plans.When I open up a new assembly, my model tree looks different from Jordan's. I don't have the datums displayed in the model tree like he did.This is how Jordan's model tree looks.When I click create, and try to "copy from existing", there is nothing to copy. Is there a setting I need to change that will allow me to see all the datum planes within my model tree? They appear correctly when I'm creating a part, but not an assembly.Thanks

Team 175 has had a Windchill Project site for a few years. I forgot now but was it migrated to the Current WC 10.2, i.e. am I all set to go? Or need to start a new site?

Where is the info on how to add the SCHOOLS TAB to Creo Ribbon?

I have follwed the instructions and been notified that the download was "successful" but when i go to start it, it comes up with an error box saying: "creo 2.0 from PTC has stopped working""a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."Ive tried installing/ uninstalling 3 times and im still getting this failure. Im now falling behind in my class as I cant work from home.
