Folks, We have just released this online game for you to enjoy - The PTC University Pinball! http://pinball-training.com/It's free for everyone and you can play as many times as you like without registering. However, if you would like to play with more balls or be able to challenge your friends via Facebook or Twitter, you need to register. If you need a break to get your minds free or have some time after work, give it a try - it's all about PTC Creo by the way, but I don't want to tell too much - try for yourselves...>> Launch the game

Being fairly new at PTC/Creo, I often find myself in the middle of a complex 2d sketch and then when I try to save it gives an error like. Too many open loops.I search over the sketch, re-examine dimensions, check lines... intersections... and eventually find a stray line bit or something not quite square.The question is. Does anyone have any tricks, or perhaps there is a way in the software, to analyze the sketch and bring out these errors quickly. The amount of time wasted, searching or redrawing is pretty frustrating. Thanks for any tips out there.I'm attaching a file of a current problem I'm having. I can't find the problem.- Brett Penza,

It has been a while I started using Creo Elements 2.0 with which I had worked a lot of modelling and designing. The problem that I am currently facing is, I can see basic views no more. I have attached a copy of the image as attachment. Please do help me out with this bug. I have lots of projects models to do in University. I request you to solve this issue.RegardsPurushottam Kanchi

Hellojust wondering, when we did our training we got Creo 1 discs (which I uploaded on to my home pc) and now we have Creo 2 on the school system. Is it possible to update Creo 1 to Creo 2 or do I need to uninstall Creo 1 to upload 2? also is there a link to upload 2?thanksJeremy

Hello everybody!!Ok, so I've been working with some stuff related with tags and wrapping but I'm in a biiig trouble! When I try to create a new tag, Arbortext tells me that is out of context, I understand this is because this new tag is not in my DTD, is that correct? However, I would like to know if there's an option to create or modify my configuration in order to declare my new tag. Please, i f anybody have more information about this topic, I would really really appreciate your help. I'm sad because I haven't found any detailed information. I really appreciate your time and support.Regards,Paulette Zorrilla

Does "Goto Sheet" functionality still exist in Creo 2.0? Would be helpful for very large fixture drawings 50+ sheets. Old mapkeys no longer work, so I am assuming this functionality may be gone. Does not show up in the Command Search tool.

Hi at present the school uses pro desktop 2000i one of our students has done his course work in the above version and as such we cant open it in school without installing the above version.Question is this software still available and what are the license issues, can we still install the student version for free?thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong forum im new here.

I recently replaced the computer I used to run Creo on for a more modern machine. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any information on how to transfer my installation to my new computer. I have no need to keep Creo on the old computer (which I still have access to), however I'm also a little bit reticent to remove it without knowing that I can get Creo on my new computer. Does anyone have any links to the sort of process I'll have to go through, or for that matter any information on getting Creo on my new machine?

Hello,I am trying to get a list with the X,Y,Z, and yaw, pitch, roll for coordinate systems that I have patterened across a curved surface. I have not even been able to figure out how to pull the location data for just 1 coordinate system. Can anyone help me on this?

In this session, PTC's Todd Kraft will take you and your team through some tips and tricks specifically for SAE teams.

Hi all,I'm having a problem with the configuration of Creo 2.0 Parametric. The batch file that you have to run so that Creo opens up in metric doesn't work with Windows XP.Has anyone else had this problem? if so how did you solve it?Many thanks.Noel WoodTechnology TechnicianDesborough College

We purchased two copies in preparation for a class to be offered next semester at our school, and have encountered several hurdles in the download/installation process, I am afraid. So I am hoping we can get this up and running soon! The company we purchased the software from said we should contact Creo for our installation problems. I hope I am posting in the right place. =] Basically, the install freezes up at this point.I had found a previous post in which someone had had an identical problem to mine, namely that the installation stalls at 1%The solution offered was to email someone for a disk with the needed files, I believe.Sadly, I was not able to locate this post again to avoid spamming up your forum. Sorry! and thanks for your time.****************************************************************************************************************editOkay it occurred to me to search on "1%" and I was able to find this discussion:http://communities.ptc.com/message/166423#166423with t

I am trying to install Creo 2 on one of our team's laptops, Dell Precision M60, NVIDIA Quadro FX Go700. I have a clean install of Windows XP Professional SP3. I am logged in as Owner / Administrator. I have Windows Firewall and my Anti-Virus software both turned off. I am connected to my Home Network via Ethernet port, Belkin Router, with Firewall turned off. I have downloaded the installation DVD, applied for and received a Product Code from PTC. When I attempt to install Creo 2 from the DVD the instructions work as advertised up to the point, Step 6 in the e-mail, where I attempt to Accept License agreement. The box to enter the product code is grayed out and I am unable to enter the code.Any suggestions?Thanks, Lance

Hey,I am looking for a CAD library of screws of different types for our team's modeling, in order to save time on modeling every screw. Does anyone here uses something like this or know how to find one?Thanks in advance.

In this session, PTC's Lee Goodwin- Principle Sales Engineer and Alister Fraser- Senior Education Program Manager tackle two main questions asked by professors just like you: "What modules are included in the PTC Creo University Plus package and what capabilities are included for machining/CNC?" "How do I integrate my own custom content into the courses I design in PTC University Precision LMS?"

As the Seminole HS Robotics club engineering mentor, I completed the online survey this morning.  I know it is late by a couple of hours, which more or less sums up our FTC season in FL this year.  I hope our Seminole High School FTC teams 3123 and/or 3736 will be considered for a grant next year.  We greatly appreciate your support.  Last year the students struggled with CREO, this year the bugs have been worked out and more of the students were able to partake in the CAD design process.  Keep up the continuous improvement.  After having a FL team win the World FTC Championship in ST Louis last year, FL teams had a hard act to follow this year.  The 2 FL teams that were invited to the World Championship faired extremely well with one team in the semi-finals and the other in the finals as the 1st runner up to the World champions.  Unfortunately, neither of our Seminole teams were invited to World's this year........ next year is another chapter

Cubify have teamed up with the Star Trek brand making it possible to have your own head on a Star Trek figurine. A really simple wizard guides you through selecting the body types and uniform then you upload a front and side view picture of your head. The figurine arrives back in the post.  A bit pricey but great for convincing people you starred in the series!http://cubify.com/store/star_trek.aspx?hp_sl_startrekPrototyping machines have been moving into production for some time. How long will it be before we have our head scanned in the optician and walk out with eye glass frames that fit us exactly with no adjustments needed?

Ever wanted to upload a picture to your Windchill profile to uniquely identify yourself? You can! Just choose My Settings, Profile from the Quick Links menu in the uppper right hand corner and then choose Edit Picture from the Actions menu.
