After installing the PTC CREO student version on my laptop i'm unable to see the part and/or datums on the model window. The part opens correctly but nothing shows on the screen. How can i fix it? Is a installation issue?All datums are turned on, no part is hidden. I just cant see anything, just a blank model window where a part is supposed to be showing.

Using the Performance Worksheet in Mathcad, we've determined the takeoff speed and stall speed of our aircraft, but how do we determine the maximum velocity of our plane. Thanks

A comprehensive guide to PTC's middle and high school programme.2013 06 21 Removed confusing links and clarified the processes.2013 06 06 Updated for m050 build and new software download page.2013 05 15 Added link to workshops listing on www.ptcschools.com and prompt for new trainers.2013 04 08 Added instructions for issuing Creo through the school library to install at home. 2013 04 08 Added install instructions for Advanced Framework eXtension (AFX). 2013 03 17 Updated training procedures.

When our team got to the configurator, we noticed we couldnt change the price of camaras from last year and same with the lap tops. Is any one else having this problem?

I have Creo 2.0 student license and working good. When I have install 3D mouse ( http://www.3dconnexion.com ) Creo not working any more.I need help how to fix this problem.Thank you for help

Hi,I thougt about asking a specific question about creo 2.0 keyboard shortcuts and decided to make it a sharing opportunity. anyone wants to share his favourite most usefull keyboard shortcuts while working with creo ? I like Ctrl +G to regenerate.Center click for Doneanyone knows a shortcut for normal view/ isometric view?

PTC Creo has very powerful analysis tools and optimisation/feasibility studies.  Put these two together and it's possible to modify 3D models to achieve a desired goal, This family of water bottles was created using these techniques.The bottles shown here are 1 litre, 500ml and 330ml with the same neck so that the same cap can be used on all sizes. The attached zip has these Creo models and "How-to" instructions.Note: the models were created using Creo 2.0 Academic Edition. The instructions should enable those not able to open the models to create their own. 

To all,My Mathcad programming knowledge is very limited.Is there any specific PTC training where i can learn programming in Mathcad from beginners to advanced levels?thank you in advance,Rogelio

PTC-sponsored FIRST Team 1671, the Buchanan Bird Brains won the 2014 Chairman's award at the Central Valley Regional.

Hi all,First of I would like to say this should probably be in the university section however no one has posted there in over 2 months.I'm in my first year of university and did a design module using PTCs Creo 2.0 which meant I was eligible to download it for free, which I did. I was using an AMD based system but wanted to switch over to intel so I could get a beefier processor but that meant I needed a new motherboard, which in turn meant I had to input my product code (or what ever it is that you use to activate the student edition) but I deleted the email over 4 months ago which meant I couldn't use the program.Is there anyway that I could redownload creo 2.0 and get my activation code again?hopefully the answer is yes because I really need it for my assignment.

For those of you in Week 1 Regionals, how did it go? What did you learn? How did your robots fare?Our team participated in the inaugural local Central Illinois Regional, which was full with a full complement of 40 robots - and of them only one rookie team.Woodie Flowers was in town for the kick off, which was great. I was able to represent PTC at the breakfast meeting with Woodie and many Cat executives (Cat is a sponsor of many teams in the area). PTC had at least 3 sponsored teams in attendance (including us).We were as high as 7th in qualifying, but ended up in the middle teens after 3 losses the 2nd day. We were picked on the 6th seed alliance and won through to the finals against the #1 alliance (who hadn't lost a match yet and had an OPR of something like double ours).We won 140-something to 70-something in the first match. Lost by a narrow margin in the 2nd. Then lost by 9 in the 3rd. So we ended up 2nd. A great job by all the students, I'm proud of them.We have some work to do

Where is the "Breakeven Analysis" that is mentioned in the Cost Calculator how-to video? We tried to re-download the excel sheet but can't find it in any of the tabs.

How are we supposed to choose "Additional Flight Controls"/"C3"/"Onboard Sensor Options" etc from the Detailed Background Guide for the Cost Calculator? I read through the background information, but it looks like most of the additional components are completely optional, with little information given about how to determine whether or not there's a need for these components.Still, there are requirements listed under each different Airframe (A, B, etc) that specify number of antennas and other additional components like that--are we supposed to just follow those requirements, according to our catalog airframe selection?

I have a student who installed Creo 2.0 Student edition. When she goes to open Parmetric her computer tells her that Creo stopped working. Any idea what is going on there?

Hello,I have made the model of the wings, including wings, fuselages, vertical/horizontal stablizer, but I did not follow the instruction (RWDC_how.pdf) since it was really outdated.But I did used the correct airfoil for the wings. Does this mean I have to restart the whole model?If I can use my own created model, what is some factors I have to measure to make sure it works?

Hi! I'm a student in France at INP, and I would like to know if is it possible to use the version Creo 2.0 Edition Student for mac ? If it is could explain me where it's the link Cheers ! Johan

To whom it may concern,I was able to install and run Creo parametric 2.0 Student edition however when I try to open the PTC learning Connector nothing loads inside the box. I have tried reinstalling with no success. please advise.Thank you in Advance

Everytime we try to create the Wing in CREO 2.0 using the instructions given in MathCAD.This was there error we kept on getting.Has anyone else experienced this problem and how did they fix it?

I am using a student edition of creo parametric 2.0. The problem is that whenever i select any option in the help menu, the software hangs. Even though the internet is working properly, the online help wont work and rather hangs. Since i am new to creo, I would appreciate help with this issue.

Is the specs sheet for the "Pure Rotorcraft" in the Baseline Cad Models folder unfinished? It seems to be missing a bunch of items that our team needs to complete the Mathcad worksheets.

While working on the configurator - Both of my teams noted that the weight estimator has information filled in for wing planform area, horizontal tail planform area, vertical tail planform area, wing aspect ratio, takeoff weight...... Last year we got this information from VSP since we were designing everything. This year since we have the cad models where do we get this information or what we are using from the cad models?

Hi,I cannot find the tutorials; CAd_Tutorial_Pusher or CAD_Tutorial_otherconfigs on the website provided plms4schools.ptc.com.I was able to sign in but when I search for those I cannot find them. Please helpThanks,Jon

Want to take your CAD files with you on your iPod, iPad or iPhone? Go for it with Creo View Mobile. This FREE app will let you you view any CAD files that have been saved in the PVZ format. Just pick File, Save A Copy and change the file type to "Creo View PVZ". Easiest way to get it on your mobile device is to email it to yourself and open on your mobile device with the Creo View Mobile app installed. This is a great way to create a digital portfolio or engineering notebook of your designs to share with FIRST judges at the competitions.If your team is using Windchill for CAD data management, you'll want to pick up Windchill Mobile app. It comes with Creo View Mobile built-in and allows you direct access to the files you've uploaded in Windchill.

Download does not work.....results " can not find file"Have tried both types of downloads several times
