ROBOTalk – October 1, 2014In our third webinar of the season, we discussed brainstorming tips and tricks for teams, along with how to create conceptual designs in PTC Creo in both 2D sketches and in 3D solid models.  We also watched Mark Cheli create a conceptual scissor lift design in about 15 minutes.Recorded Video Link –Download Link:  http://apps.ptc.com/schools/FIRST/Robotalk/ROBOTalk-20141001%202259-1.arfNote: The WebEx ARF player is required to playback the recording if you download it.

has the creo 3.0 student edition been released?

In the model ribbon clicking the style button does nothing. There is no response of any sort the next ribbon that is expected does not appear. Is there anything that I should have installed to be able to do this or is it that I am currently using a trial version? Thanks,Chris

While working on the 2015 KOP, it seemed like it was time to redo this assmebly now that there's more time and properly add in all the gear connections.     (view in My Videos)

i am running a emulator on a mac for windows 7 so that i can use mathcad. before u stop reading plz help, this was the cheapest way to do it since i am in college. with that said everything seems to be working fine except for the data table function. it wont let me input a table or if a table is in a worksheet it wont recognize that there is one there. i figure that it might be something not being converted in the emulator but i was wondering if there was anyway to check that it is just on the windows 7 side and not the mac side.

As you know we've got a basic printer as school and it works OK but- now that we've got going with Creo I'm experimenting with intefacing components to make "real world" products.Its a ring and when you wiggle your fingers the arms move!Except our 3D printer is struggling to print the arms.I've uploaded the Creo file (any suggestions on getting the meech right?) and an stl version if anyone owoud like to have a go at tthe product.Let me know how you get on and hoow the parts interfaced.Best regardsPeter

Creo quality agent fails to install at 36%. Tried many times. Made sure to run setup as admin and turned of antivirus. When I run creo parametric, it says I need to register the quality agent. I say OK and it crashes with error code 0x0...09. I know the quality agent is required for academic licensing. This is for an FTC team. Here is the install log:   Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.      

I have 2 questions.1. I have assembled a *.cem (creo layout 2.0) but I can's see any of the lines I sketched in creo layout 2.0. 2. I have creo parametric 2.0 m070 (academic) but I didn't find the button to start creo layout direct from creo parametric.What have I mised or have I only the wrong version?

Hello!I am using the Creo 2.0 Student Version and have had to request a new license a few weeks ago. I did so on the website and with the new product code I was able to create a new license file. However, when starting up Creo 2.0, I am still getting an error concerning license failure. Thank you very much for your help!

I registered multiple teams and got the email to that effect but have yet to see them appear in Windchill alongside my team from last year. What must I do to see my new teams in Windchill?-Eric

ROBOTalk – September 24, 2014     In our second webinar of the season, we discussed organizing teams for success, along with a brief introduction to project planning and PTC Windchill.  We also introduced how a team can break down game requirements into robot requirements, and how those robot requirements will translate into volume allocations in PTC Creo.   Recorded Video Link – Download Link: http://apps.ptc.com/schools/FIRST/Robotalk/ROBOTalk-20140924%202258-1.arf   Note: The WebEx ARF player is required to playback the recording if you download it.

Hey everyone,I'm noticing a lot more FRC teams have been using snail cams for shooters and other continually reloading mechanisms, but I can't think of any ways of making a progressive CAM in Creo. Any ideas? I'm talking about these:http://www.technologystudent.com/images5/snlcam3.gif-Patrick Youssef

Dear First Windchill / Creo Parametric experienced user community,I have added several FTC members to Windchill using the roles of "CAD Author"/"Team Members" as part of an FTC project. These users cannot access the workspace files using their logins unfortunately. I can access the files; however my role is one of project manager. Any ideas or suggestions?-Emil

Cyborg Eagles FTC Team 7089 Block Party Robot 2013 / 2014 Season. Modeled in PTC Creo Parametric.   With the rotating turret, pincher gripper and extendable arm, this robot could place blocks in the basket as fast as the shovel based robots. Low center of gravity and great traction, this robot can turn within it length.     Unable to play video. Please try again later.(view in My Videos)

Mark and PTC Academic Support,I was installing the configuration files for Creo 2.0 M070 and noticed the cmd exe had the wrong path defined for looking for *.ui file. The file is not located in the \text folder, rather it's located in the C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M070\creo_standards\config_files_schools folder. See attached images. Need to fix the configure_for_schools.exe Jon

FRC team 1622 is exploring the idea of using a Gantt Chart within PTC Windchill. We are interested in anyone or team that has used Windchill in this fashion. Looking for an example and some help with Windchill.

We are trying to design a lift that uses multiple linear slides to obtain a certain height. We have constrained all of the linear slides in such a way that they should all be able to extend and collapse using the "Drag Components" command. What we actually get is the 1st linear slide (the lowest slide) moves, but the 2nd and 3rd slides will not move. We have attached the files in a ZIP folder. Please keep in mind that we downloaded the linear slide model off of McMaster-Carr (link inserted below) and was imported using a .STEP file format. We then reconfigured the .STEP file to animate, and it works in the sub-assembly of just the linear slide. The linear slide we downloaded was the 16" version. Please feel free to ask us any questions about our description of the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?MCMASTER-CARR LINK:http://www.mcmaster.com/#11965a133/=tvb3bx

Rebecca Lian Clark posted in the "Design and Technology Teachers" YouTube group asking how to improve the movement in pull-along toys being made by her school pupils age 12-13,.I created a model of one of her designs and animated it using PTC Creo to show how a wire tie could be used to move the head.The video is posted on YouTube here.

Hallo,Thanks to the new Windchill 10.2 Server I was able to check in a *.mtl file.But her is my next Problem.

Sometimes we check out things to the workspace and then end up not modifying them at all. Is there any way to have windchill still check them in instead of preventing unmodified objects from going to the server?
