An electric guitar lends itself to parametric modelling.  This top-down model was developed to allow the scale length to be changed. The frets are then located mathematically. With the help of Boxford, all the parts were CNC machined and laser to construct the finished guitar.A zip of the PTC Creo model is attached.

Some suggestions regarding solving or at least lessening graphics issues with Creo2.You will probably need adminatrstors rights to make these changes.

Are there incompatibilities with Windchill and IE 10? It is working sometimes... and then not other times. We can access and files in Windchill from Creo. But the activity of uploading or checkin work some times and not other times. We have Google Chrome on the PC... if there is an option to define that as the browser CREO uses. Attached is view where we were able to check in 3 of 5 parts\assemblies. We are able to open the assemblies in the work space. Attached are some screen views of the situation with some of the parts\assemblies uploaded... and some not. I tried setting the windows_browser_type = mozilla_based_browser... and this option does not work with IE 10.

Hi guys,I was trying to point a FIRST Lego League team to the PTC education page, but couldn't get there from the PTC homepage.Thought you might want to know.Josh

The key to rendering transparent objects is setting up the room or environment. This PTC Creo model of a wine glass has an HDRI image applied as an environment. A YouTube video by Huu Huynh explains how to apply HDRI images in PTC Creo.Take a look at this video from Huu on modelling a cut glass pattern.

Hi everybody !It's now two days that i search all the way to find a solution to install Creo 1.0. I want to install the school version i'm following the process that the help gives you. The trouble is that when i'm downloading Creo 1.0 License utility i can't make it run my computer show me two possibility : The installation is made correctly (if i press it nothings happen) Make a reinstallation (if i press it well nothing happens too !)I'm getting a bit crazy because then i can't create my PTC account and then i can't use it,I need it for my school project so if you can give me some advice i would be grateful !Have a good day and see you soon !Magdaléna

How do you put in the zooming capabilities of the sensor payload into the worksheet?

How are you doing test simulations in Creo 2.0, because when we open up PTC Simulate it says we do not have the proper license. Is there any other way to simulate in PTC Creo 2.0 or another softwear?

Hello,I have one of my students who installed Creo onto his laptop, a HP Pavillion dv6 running windows 7 home premium 64 bit. Program apparently installed without any issue, though now every time he boots Creo the web page that opens when the program runs cannot be closed. See screen shot below.Can select new and create a new part, the model tool bar opens and you can select extrude or what ever. Apparently the program is operating with the exception that the web page cannot be closed and is as a consequent hiding everything behind it. Is there a setting we've missed? Any suggestions please?regardsIan

So, do we get 2 points for each survey done?Or do we get 2 points per team? Thanks.

I am a mentor for team FRC 3173 - IgKnighters. We very much want to use Winchill to share Creo CAD files. I am having troubles loading a first CREO CAD file into Windchill for others to access. I am able use the CREO Server Management function to log into the Winchill server. I am not able to get the Red arrow pointing to the server but rather a blue square shows up on the Server Management sub screen. I can see the Windchill file structure in CREO... but am not able to save any thing to the work space... View the Workspace in CREO... or upload\checkin any parts into Windchill for others to access. I have watched the Robotalks several times... and can not figure out what I am doing wrong. Is it possible for PTC to log into our Windchill site to confirm that some one can copy a CAD file to our Windchill site? Our site is" FRC 3173 - IgKnighters. Attached are some screen shots. I am a project manager on the site... Is there possibly some type of a role that I additionally have to add mys

Hi,I have Creo Parametric 2.0 running on Windows 8 Computer. I have enabled the option "afx_enabled" but I do not see the Framework Tab after restarting the program. I cannot acces the Advanced Framework Extension. Any tips?Thank You

I've recently been trying trying to price out new drive train options (the new COTS parts released by Vex Robotics). If it's relevant, my process for these files is typically to download the .step file from the VexPro website, then generate an assembly. After I've generated the assembly, I go in and assign weights, colors, etc. to all the parts, as well as reassembling the assembly in order to make sure the constraints are all right.My problem is that after I've gone through this process, I cannot generate a BOM for the assembly. When I try to do so, Creo throws a "Cannot open output file" error. I really don't know why this would be so, as I've successfully generated BOMs in Creo parametric before.Any suggestions for what the problem is and how I can fix it?

This hot rod model uses the Scalextric4Schools parts pack and is designed to be 3D printed. There are three RP parts in the PTC Creo design; the rear body (blue), front body (red) and V8 engine (chrome).  You will probably use a single colour for both body parts and maybe black or white for the engine.Notes:  Building the blue body piece upside down and the red body piece right way up should minimise support material.The V8 engine will need support material for the exhausts whichever way it's built.The windshield frame can be made from 1mm wire e.g.a paper clip. The assembly sequence should go something like this:Hold large white contrate pinion inside the rear body (blue), pass the rear axle through the hole in the side of the body into the contrate and out the other side. Make sure the contrate covers the splines in the middle of the rear axle.Press the small white pinion, shoulder towards the motor, onto the end of the motor spindle to cover the splines.Offer the motor int

how can i move Creo Academic 2.0 licence server to the new server.

I have a student that is trying to install Creo 2.0 from the PTC down load site. I understand it is a large file. (4 GB I think....) The student had it run over night and most of another day and only got as far to 70% down load. They tried a 2nd time and it started from the beginning again and only got as far as 50% before stalling. Are there any tricks to restarting a down load where it left off... of otherwise breaking up the install to complete in sections? I did not get there internet speed... and can pursue getting that information. Do you have any sort of a table as to what should be expected for the down load time frames based on the down load speed?

When we did the PTC training in Oregon, Scott showed us how to constrain certain components so they don't move when we are using drag. This is especially useful when you have multiple components that can move in your assembly and when you start dragging all of them start moving. Our team has now built up an assembly and we'd like to do this, but can't figure it out. SM - Can you remind us how this is done in the drag panel?Thanks,Kris K

Hi,A while since the last time I used Creo, so a beginner question I recently re-installed Creo.Now I am starting to model, I'd like to make a datum plane with angular offset.I click the plane in the datum group.Then I select a plane for which I want the new datum plane go through (I select the through from the drop down menu.).I try to select one more plane using control button. I can not select more planes or objects as references (The datum plane placement window is open.)How to proceed forward?

Hey everyone, I could use a little input here if anyone has it. I'm a college student and recently purchased the student licensed Mathcad 15. Now after a few weeks, it seems that any files that I create or open and save on my system are being corrupted! I get the following message when I try to open a file:The contents of this file have been corrupted:Detailed Error Information:File: (file path)Reason:Line Number: 0Character Position: 0If I start a new file, everything works fine for the first day. I can open it, close it, save it, etc with no problems. But the next day, error message. I tried saving a copy as an HTML file. Same results. The next day, the links to the pictures all had incorrect paths to the pictures?and that's it. PTC couldn't help me since student license support is limited to instiallation only. I uninstalled/reinstalled it, it worked fine for a week or so and now it's doing it again!Very frustrating!Any input???ThanksLee

Hey-- I'm creating a trophy using Creo Parametic (for the 3D printing award given at Minnesota FIRST Technical Challenge State Championship), and I was wondering whether I could use a vector image obtained from the logo of the sponsor of the award (Stratasys) and import that straight into sketch, or otherwise avoid having to somehow trace over the original image. I've been looking through a bunch of threads on PTC communities, but besides saying that it's really easy, nobody seems to actually provide instructions on importing a vector image.--Nick AarestadFRC Team 2220Eagan FIRST Robotics
