HiI have imported a model as a prt. and reworked it in Creo Parametric, now I need to save it as an stl. so it can be 3D printed.But for some reason it's not actually saving as an stl. The model is solid and saves as a prt. easily but how do I get an stl. out of it?ThanksJeremy

Hello,i have a problem with display work area. I have CREO parametric 2.0 students edition.After starting CREO don´t appear workarea. See attached picture.Could you give me some help??Thank you very much.Michal

Hello,I have just installed Creo 2 and I cannot get it running at all. Specifically, clicking shortcut icons or windows start menu icons does nothing, the only confirmation that I get from my computer that i clicked those icons is that I get a little loading circle by my pointer for about a second and thats it. Nothing opens, no apps launch, no processes or services lunch, nothing. I have triend reinstalling and I have tried updating my graphics driver and neither has helped.Thank you.

This is a basic Creo color file that includes the primary colors. Students often ask me for more colors and why Creo does not come with more configured colors. I cannot say why it does not come with more, but you can see how easy it is to add more. Just open the Appearance Manager and Open this file to add a huge set of colors to My Appearances. If you want to have Creo load it every time, just leave it in your My Documents folder or set the config.pro option pro_colormap_path to identify the folder you are keeping the color map and appearance files.

I am a third year Honours student at Glasgow Caledonian University where I am doing BEng Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering.I am looking to see if there is a free/discounted Pro-Engineer Wildfire download available or a trial version.I have a project that will go towards my final mark and having the software at home would be very beneficial.Thank you for your time.Gary

Hi RWDC Teams!We have released two new curriculum guides for the 2013/2014 RWDC season. They are as follows...How to Model Almost Anything: This new curriculum is an in-depth introduction to PTC Creo 2.0 which takes the user through the various aspects of solid modeling. It is made up of four parts: Getting Started, Part Modeling, Assembly Modeling, and Virtual Laboratory.How to Develop a Product: How to Develop a Product is an advanced guide that will show users how to bring a product from concept development to product retirement. It is made up of four phases: Concept Development, Detailed Design, Production, and Field SupportGood luck on the upcoming season!

Hi guys,quick question. I know a team in Portland, Oregon area that may be interested in using Creo Direct. Is this currently available?Thanks,Josh

Hello,I have a Student License for Creo 2.0 and it worked when I first installed it. I don't remember the licensing process, but I know that in that process a license file was generated, because I still have it. I thought that for reinstalling I only had to use that file and the licensing would be done, but the truth is that it only asks me for a code, but I don't think I have it. What should I do?Thanks in advance,Francisco

Can someone please let me know when the new FTC field will be uploaded to the USFIRST website? My team has been waiting for the field so we can test if our robot will work.

We are trying to create a pattern around a cylindar so that we can create a fan blade for one of our projects. I made a cylindar for the base of the assembly, and I created a blade, but I cannot figure out how to pattern copies of the blade around the base evenly. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.Thanks.....

I have installed Creo 2.0 and all the stuff with it, I've tried with and without the quality control agent. But when it finally finishes installing and I click on it to start it literally nothing happens. Nothing loads, nothing shows up, nothing happens at all. Help me?

In this video we will install or update Microsoft .NET Framework on your computer.   Next Video: Part 3 - Downloading   If you have any questions which are not addressed in this video, please leave a comment below or start a new discussion and we will get back to you.   (view in My Videos)

Can we run Creo 2.0 Academic edition on a computer with Intel Integrated Graphics and a 1366 x 768 display? If yes, is it even worth it. The computer is Dell Vostro 3450. The specs say that it supports OpenGL. It has win 7 64 bit and 4GB. We are a rookie First Tech team and would like to try out our free Creo 2.0 license. But for now we don’t have access to any PC that is either supported or certified in PTCs official list.

Virtual Laboratory PTC Creo was developed so that engineers and designers could do simulations and predict how a product or part would react to given loads and conditions. In this way, PTC Creo becomes a virtual laboratory where experiments of all types can be created and performed.   Click Here to view the downloadable version of this video.     (view in My Videos)

Is there any place where you can find pre-made Tetrix part with which you can manipulate and work with in Creo?

My computer runs windows 7 64 bit and meets all of the specifications for Creo. I have my product code, but everytime I run the setup wizard to generate the license it returns this:A failure occured during license generation.An unknown error occured requesting a license file be generated from ptc.comI am using this software in an engineering elective at Univerisity of Alabama Birmingham.

Yes though the Creo software is intended for use on single a machine only, if your machine needs to be replaced it is possible to install and license the software on a new machine.Please submit a Support Request and include:The exact edition of the software you’re usingThe order number if you purchased the softwareThe product code that you used to install the software the first timeThe PTC HostID of your machines (this is your physical MAC address of the machine)A new license file will be sent to you with instructions for installation.

How long should it take to receive my teams Windchill invite?

I'm working through the part modeling exercise in Section 2 of "How to Model Almost Anything", and I can't figure out how to assign the material (brass in the example). Tried Applications->Simulate which launched Simulate Lite. I think I managed to assign brass to the part, but whenever I try Analysis->Mass Properties I'm getting the default density of 1 Kg / mm^3.

Hi PTC,We are working with the MATRIX hardware and we want to use the CREO to model our robot, Matrix Robotics International System is include it in the CREO to model?Best regards.Marco.

What is the best way to add a DC motor to it's bracket? Which constraint should I use? I want to be able to rotate the motor and adjust it at a later time, but am unsure which is the best method. Thanks for any tips.

Is there a way to get more color choices in the student and academic versions of Creo? Many of the team robot models appear to have many more colors for their parts that we can't seem to find.

Creating Assembly Models in PTC Creo Assembly models are the way we model products. All the parts that make up a product are assembled into the model so that we can determine the overall height, weight, volume, center of gravity and other properties of the final product. To understand assembly models, it is important to understand assembly constraints and how to use them to assemble parts.   Click Here to view the downloadable version of this video.     (view in My Videos)
