Changing parts into BS8888 for schoolsWhen we first installed Creo Parametric on our school system it wasn’t set up to BS8888. Unfortunately a number of our students produced parts for their final projects. We have now set up all PCs to BS8888 but when students open parts that were designed on the old settings they are not in BS8888 (even though if they start a new part they are to BS8888). I have found out how to change the parts from inches to mm but the real issue occurs when they attempt to produce drawings. The isometric view is missing.My question is can I change a part into BS8888 after it has been completed. If not, can I add the isometric view to the parts “named view” list so the drawings pick it up?

Attached are two images of a student trying to assemble parts for a can crusher using Creo Parametric. When the student attempts to constrain the parts we get the second image. We are not sure what is happening and it makes it very difficult to assemble parts. This happens on the majority of our PCs although not the newer ones. Could it just be a graphics issue? Has anybody experienced a similar problem? I have attached a word file with more of the same. Our school uses Windows 7.

For the recently release national challenge, there is no detail information on the area of the three search zones. There is only the indicate angle of the 250 degree on the national challenge statement. However, the search area’s diagram contain the in the statement of does not appear to be draw to scale. The calculated angle of zone 3 is bigger than zone 1 but the diagram shows area of zone 1 is greater than zone 3. Therefore, our team would like to know what would be the angle of each search zones reference to the East axis. Thank you

Hi all,Running Pro Desktop 8 on XP, and I'm having an issue with mating/pivoting an obscure shaped elipse. WIth no straight lines on the elipse it's hard to mate/align it to the straight piece i want to make it to. If I could even just rotate the piece it would make things easier to put pieces insitue but the orient function won't work with that because of no straight pieces. Even if I could split the piece i'm making and use the line as an orientate/align line, but i would need to be able to hide the line once i'm done, how is it possible in pro dekstop 8 to hide/mask/merge a line? Could anyone please point me in the right direction here, I would greatly appreciate it,Thanks

To create a range of portraits using different media

A little test for myself to see if I could bring two skills together, the twist and the sweep, into something useful.I’m OK with the render but it took far, far too long to just get everything on the ‘floor’ and the ring through the hole without interference; done, pretty much, by eye and a lot of fiddling around in Parametric. Even then I had to force a slightly unnatural alignment between the components to simplify adjustments. More than two or three elements would drive me insane.Am I missing something obvious here? A tool or approach that would make this sort of assembly easier? Any tips?

So I downloaded the software about 2 days ago and recieved that message. Didn't know why until now. I realized I incorrectly typed the wrong licence number. Problem is, I have no clue how to change it to the correct one. Any help? Thanks.-Bret

que hago si al abrir creo parametrico 2.0 no me aparecen los planos?

when I use the swept blend tool on existing sketches, the points on my sketches don't always line up. The picture I uploaded explains my situation, pretty much, I want the area in orange to be the same as the area in grey, but the problem is the edges of my sketches aren't matching up correctly..so does anyone have any tips for me to fix this? (I'm using creo schools edition) thanks guys

Hi,I am having problems installing Creo 2.0 Student Edition.The Installation Assistant starts up and goes through the first few steps.But it will not allow me to enter the product code in "Simple Licence Entry".I am running Windows 7.Does anybody have any ideas on what is preventing this.

Hi AllJust installed Creo 2.0 release M030. All goes well with installation.However, the browser screen does not close when new part is selected. This obviously masks datum planes etc. All the ribbons are visible but the browser window will not close. Any suggestions?

This presentation on concept design and intellectual property might be useful for students following Product Design courses.

Siri want to see all command wise video , is it possiblepls revert me ASAP.

Antonius Dirriwachter has posted details about some interesting textures that can be used in Creo. See his post here:http://communities.ptc.com/community/creo/rendering/blog/2013/01/16/some-nice-textures

I don't believe there are any detailed instructions available yet, telling the teams how to submit there projects. Is that still coming? I thought it would have been available at least by today. Thanks.

Hi,I am using PreoE2000i.I made a cut on an extruded hexagon as shown in the figure and would like to make a radial pattern of it. How can I do that?

I've been checking for updates on here lately and aside from Eunice's fantastic blog, all seems to be REALLY quiet!I know the teams I'm working with are running wild with ideas on shooting discs, picking them up and climbing the tower.Is anybody else out there using the field to get a basic feel for the scale of this year's game?How about using 2D sketches to compute trajectories or the field components for developing a climbing robot?

Hello thereI am posting in order to find out if there is any way i can possibly purchase a Pro Engineer wildfire 5.0 Student Liscence in the UK?. What i have found so far is only avaliable to American/Canadian citizens. Thanks

We are new to the real world design challenge program. I am on the technology end and not the teaching end but have several questions.1. We are primarily a MAC house. We saw some notes in other communities about running this in BootCamp and it appears that people were able to do so. Is anyone else doing RWDC in BootCamp?2. We do have a lab of PC's that we are able to use. Having read some of the requirements, I am a bit concerned that our video cards may not be up to snuff. Any basic advice on what problems arise if the basic requirements are just met? I am thinking/hoping maybe the Academic version may not have the high end requirements??3. I noticed browsing the RWDC community that there are only 10 licenses give to the school as part of this program. We are planning on running this as part of a curriculum so our teaches will need to take up some of these licenses?? Or do they provide some extras for teachers?4. Curriculum. Our administrative team made the decision to offer this as a

When designing the tail on their owning a tail for the aircraft, would a team still have to use the MathCad files designed for a traditional tail? Or would the team be required to develop their own tail without the aid of MathCad?

Hi EveryOne!                                        Hope you all are doing well.
