The Australian equivalent of D&TA for Queensland is INTAD. Browsing their web site, I stumbled across a curriculum project from Runcorn State High School on throwing sticks, also called 'booms' or boomerangs. http://www.intad.asn.au/documents/store/Boomerang_Unit_Plan.pdf It reminded me of making booms as a boy with my dad and brother. In those days we cut them out of plywood and shaping was done using hand tools like planes and spokeshaves. Isn't memory amazing, I clearly recalled the airfoil section being reversed at intersection of the two arms, the increased pitch on one arm and lift at the tip. This set me thinking whether the Freestyle tool in the Creo suite of 3D modelling software could be used to model a boom? I was amazed how easy it was! Less than ten minutes is all it took to create a shape that could be CNC machined which should fly well and 'return to sender'.Experts will probably point out things I missed or got wrong but this quick model clearly shows how quick and

I downloaded the 4.155 gb creo 2.0 student edition file from the website. I installed as per the instructions. things worked properly. My friend with a very slow internet connection wanted to install creo 2.0. I gave him the installation file. Is that appropriate ? Or should he download the file himself ?He registered with the creo student website, they gave gim the appropriate key via email and later sent along the license file. The installation occured smoothly. He also installed the license file. But when he opened creo 2.0 he encountered an error, whose screenshot has been attached. How are we supposed to proceed from here ? Hope this information helps. Thanks in advance.Gokul.

I currently have Creo 2.0 Student Edition installed on my computer and have recently obtained a license for Creo 2.0 Academic Edition. Is it possible to update the license of my current installation to gain access to the student edition's locked features, without having to reinstall the program?

My assembly has, for reasons unknown, become disconnected. How do I reconnect it so parts will update again?EDIT: I backed up to an earlier version, which gets back the connections, but now I have to repeat work. It would be nice to know how to fix this for the future.

I am reusing items from a previous project that used some of the same parts in a new one. These reused items are in the folders created for the respective projects. Every time I open the assembly, all of these items are listed as missing and must be retrieved manually by navigating around the file tree. I do not have the room to make duplicates of these items, as they are themselves complex assemblies, and I cannot move them as this will break older designs that are still needed. Is there someway to hard link to them so that they load properly every time?

I had to replace an object in an assembly that was a reference for the basis object of several patterns (a rod through a hole, which is then axis patterned to generate the other rods). The definition of the root objects of the patterns each need to be updated, but Creo will not allow me to "Edit Definition", "Edit References", or do anything else to any pattern member. It will only allow access to the pattern itself, which dosen't need updating and is not wrong. I am thus unable to regenerate the assembly. I cannot delete and remake the pattern, as this will break an inordinate amount of other references. How do I get into the base pattern members to fix the referencing problem?

I need to align a circular object relative to an axis and two planes. I need it to be certain distances off of each of the two planes, but otherwise on axis. In other words, I need it to be a coincident constraint in the X-Y plain ONLY, while it is two independent distance constraints in the X-Z and Y-Z planes. The axis is moving vertically and horizontally as the design evolves, so simply setting things manually via other flat surfaces is insufficient.Is there a way to specify a specific dimension for coincident restraints in general? Or is there a good way to accomplish this in specific?

Hello all. I am trying to assemble items on my laptop at home and am having trouble assembling parts. When ever i click on the first thing i would like to construde it spazes out the images present. Including the one i clicked on. However when i zoom in/out or i move the image i can see the figures currently posted. However once i stop zooming or moving the image around it returns to a spazzed out image that i have extreme trouble finding what i'm looking for.

Hi folks,I shot an e-mail out to -, but thought I might get a quicker response here. The below error has a really funky license name. Just wondering if anybody's seen that before.Also, when attempting to reconfigure the install, there's nothing for the license file and it doesn't seem to be possible to add a new license file.Any help appreciated.Josh"Liscense request failed for feature Requesting CREOPMA_Academic2 ...

I'm having an issue with my imported DWG file disappearing. Whenever I import it at 1:1 scale, the sketch disappears. It will only stay if I keep the scale at a higher number, The sketch is a simple cylinder profile which i'm goign to revolve. Is it having problems with adding dimensions and thats why it's disappearing? The steps I take are begin a new sketch on a plane and choose Get Data>File System. Choose profile DWG and change import scale to 1:1. When I hit the green check mark, the sketch disappears. Help??
