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 ... C:\WindRiver\liscense\zwrsLiscense.lic: (111) Attempting to connect to non-PTC daemon."

Changes units for a part, e.g. inches to mm.

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??

Hi,I'm looking for some advice installing the student edition. Similar to everyone here my install is stopping at 1%.£115 for two days of total frustration. Why can't these software installs just be simple?Please adviseMany thanks Scott

has the issue with "save a copy" assembly window resolved in creo 2.0 M030?

Does anybody else have a problem with running the mission analysis on the excel sheet? We keep getting a run time error 53, file not found or a run time error 9. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,If you were one of the lucky ones who got a new machine for the holidays and it came with a shiny new copy of Windows 8, not to fear. PTC has you covered. The latest maintenance release of Creo 2.0 is M030 and it is fully supported on Windows 8. Stop by http://www.ptc.com/company/community/first/teams.htm to download new software.If you're not sure which maintenance version you have, it is easy to check. Just start Creo 2.0 and pick File, Help, About Creo Parametric.All FIRST teams should be on Creo 2.0 at this point. You can continue to use the Creo Elements/Pro software if you have an older machine, but you should be able to run Creo 2.0 on the same hardware. The big benefit of updating to Creo 2.0 is the new UI and command layout making the application so much easier to use. Hopefully you've all had a chance to download the updated KOP and Arena for Ultimate Ascent at http://www.catalogds.com/db/service?d=first&c=browse

can i change my creo 2.0 student edition license to a new computer as my present computer has become non-finctional?if yes then what is the procedure?

I have students create a part where there is a hole created on a work plane that is 30 degrees off the RIGHT work plane. No problems making them, but when in a DRAWING for the part I can not get a regular dimension for the holes. See attached PDF for example. Other then modifying the dimension for the "ellipse" is there a way to tell Creo that it should display the circle diameter? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

is there a maintenance release for creo student edition 2.0? 1. if yes then how to downoad it?2. if no, then why not?

PTC Creo has many applications in the teaching is science to demonstrate key concepts.We created this analysis requested by a high school teacher to help them explain coefficient of restitution or how balls bounce. The zip contains a Creo assembly and instructions how to open the model, run the analysis and display a graph of height against time.When we demonstrate this to other teachers a common question asked is; "How does this help me teach this concept?". Creo allows us to change the value for gravity so, we can bounce balls on the Moon, Mars or an asteroid.  All you need to know is value for gravity on that heavenly body.The document in the zip file explains other models we have in this series. Can you think of concepts at middle or high school level that Creo models could help students investigate and teachers explain?

Hi all,Mid way through the assembly process on a project, and I'm hitting some bugs. One is a Failed to save error, I click save project, and a little box comes up saying "failed to save" or "failed to open document", i've not touched any other files, just 'new>add component" that kind of thing. I've even gone to the extent of trying to load old copies of the files I know I haven't touched, backups I've kept.I've tried contatcing technical support but to no reply. Could anyone please help me out here because by the looks of things, i'm going to have to start again from scratch which would be tens of hours of work.ThanksDavid

You may be wondering what to do with your shiny new RP machine.With Valentines day just around the corner how about giving your students an hour to model a Welsh love spoon.  The making and giving of love spoons dates back to at least the 17th Century.  They were carved from hard wood and given to loved ones.  More information on Love Spoons including the meaning of the symbols: http://www.welsh-lovespoons.co.uk/index.html A Creo 2.0 model love spoonAnd the RP modelThe assembly RPs quite nicely although you may need to scale it down to fit into your machine. Always on the lookout for projects that are a little bit out of the ordinary.
