Hello,I have the educational version of Creo, which I downloaded for free from this website. While attempting to install the Parametric part of Creo, this window comes up before I can continue installing it. Question is, what do I put under "Hostname"?(Assumed that I could put any word under "Hostname")I entered my name, Kevin for example, and it allowed me to continue installing it. However, after I finished installing it, and when I try to open Parametric 1.0, I get this error.Can anyone help me, please?!Thanks,Kevin.

I'm new to Creo Parametric and CAD in general, and am currently experimenting through modelling simple parts.I'm unable to get the profile rib to extend to the desired width of 8mm (see attatched.) When I attempt to go beyond about 4.5mm, I get the error 'feature failed to regenerate'.Why is this? Any help would be awesome; thanks!

Hi All anyone know where i can download the lastest Creo Standards settings as the link i have http://apps.ptc.com/schools/creo_standards_20111007.zip is not working correctly cheers

A .pdf of the ramp calculations done on February 16th's webinar. Sorry for the .pdf version, but you should be able to read the slope from the equation and use it easily. I was using Mathcad Prime 2.0 (to be released March 1st) so I need to recreate the file in Prime 1.0 and post that as well. Unfortunately, I don't have Prime 1.0 running at the moment on my laptop. Any questions? Please email -Good luck to all the teams!Chris

Hey everyone,I've been having some trouble intalling Creo Elements/Pro Schools Edition 5.0, whenever I launch the setup.exe file the installer will load up prompting me to click continue, though I don't see a "continue" anywhere. All I see is a bar on the bottom center thats almost full that stays in the same position without progress (I don't know what this bar is for). Anyways, is there something I'm doing wrong? I downloaded the 3.6gig file, unzipped it, opened it, and double clicked the setup.exe but as I've said, I can't click "continue" on the setup as it doesn't even show up. I have included an attachment showing what I'm talking about. I followed all the steps mentioned in the account registration, got an email to download the program shortly after, and now I'm stuck here. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

I recently downloaded Creo Parametric on my Windows 64bit laptop. It ran slowly but today when I tried to open the program, a warning showed up stating "license request failed." When I clicked "OK", the program shuts down automatically. I have already tried restarting the computer and have also emailed - but have not received any answers. Any suggestions to fix this ASAP please?

Here's a quick assembly visualization tip you can use to impress your friends and neighbors:Using this STARBASE Scalextric slot car assembly, imagine that you want to quickly make it easier to see through the car body. I could Hide the car body, Suppress the car body or change the appearance (color) applied to the car body to be transparent. A better method might be to change the Component Display.Select the component of the assembly that you wish to change the display of, you can use CTRL to select multiple components. Then with the component(s) selected:In Creo 1.0: In the Model tab, click Model Display> Component Display Style and then select a display type you want from the drop-down menu. In this example, I have selected No Hidden.In Creo Elements/Pro: From the main menu, click View> Display Style and then select a display type you want from the drop-down menu. In this example, I have selected No Hidden.Doing this will modify the Master Style of the assembly. From the Style

I already download creo 1.0 free edition (school edition), how to get product Code, when iam installing PTC installing management Thanks Ade MI

Anyone know where to find CAD models for the Gates sprockets? I have searched all over the Gates site and even though their PartsView search says it has CAD, I cannot find any CAD links for P15-5M-15AL on the info page of their catalog. I could not find these models in the PTC KOP either.From http://robotics.gatesprograms.com/first...Gates parts will now be included in the standard package of parts provided to all FIRST teams. Each package will contain the following Gates parts*: P15-5M-15AL Sprocket (2 each) P20-5M-15AL Sprocket (1 each) P30-5M-15AL Sprocket (1 each) 500-5M-15 Belt (1 each) 1270-5M-15 Belt (1 each)

Josh,Thanks for providing your model. I was able to download a native Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5 (Creo Elements/Pro) version of the part and converted it to the educational edition so that those teams not on Creo 1.0 yet can still use it.Note that my model does not have a weight assigned to it. If someone knows the weight of the assembly, I would be glad to add it.Thanks,Adam

We're having a lot of machine shop delays this year, and I feel it's because of "sponsor fatigue" - they just haven't seen a lot of business benefit. We put our sponsors on our web site, our robot, our shirts, and our literature, but I feel as if that's just doing the minimum expected. How can our team go above and beyond when it comes to promoting our sponsors? How can we ensure that the sponsor actually experiences increased sales due to their involvement with our team?

Hello, we are a FIRST robotics team and are having some trouble with Creo. Every time a particular user tries to open an assembly from a USB card Creo crashes. We tried opening it on 3 different computers with the same result. One computer did work, but we have another user on that machine. We have also tried this on two different USB cards. Any Ideas?

Hi to All,Hope all are do well,i have installed pro-e 4.0 version,However the orient rotation(mouse middle button) is n't working.I am n't able to rotate a model while working on.Please advice how to fix it,Thanks&regards,Harikrishnan.U(-)

Hello all FIRST folks!Hope everyone has been have a challenging yet productive season. I must admitted the we the 167 Buchanan Bird Brains have have many obstacle to overcome, yet we are still having fun and learning lots! You can read more here: Evan G's Blogtime Array.In any case, our team has been having difficulties establishing a solid connection to the Windchill 10 FIRST Robotics server via Creo Parametric. Logging into the the server via Internet browser works perfectly, but when working through Creo, strange things begin to happen. Sometimes we can connect easily and things work beautifully. Other times we can connect, then an error message saying that the server is unavailable pops up and ruins our work session. In one extreme, a student won't beabel to connect at all! I have found that usually the best temporarily solution is to delete the .wf server cache folder located in (for Windows 7) [Install root directory, usually C]:\Users\[Account Name]\AppData\Roaming\PTC\ProENGINE

Using Creo and Windchill in support of a FIRST team from your work computer could be causing problems for you. The number one reason we see problems with this is due to firewall settings on corporate networks. Even here at PTC we have problems getting to some sites or accessing certain data.Reason number two is conflicts caused when using two different versions of Creo (i.e., Creo 1.0 and Wildfire 4) on the same computer and also using the same cache folder.In this example, the company uses Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 and his team is using Creo 1.0, each obviously pointing to a different Windchill server. The following instructions will show you how to change the location of the workspace cache files used by his FIRST Creo 1.0 install/connection (I do not suggest changing your work cache location😞Exit Creo 1.0.At C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 1.0\Parametric\bin, you will find a .psf file, most likely named parametric1.psf. Open this file in a text editor.Add the line of text shown below in red,

So when finishing the download/install process for the program the download shows to be 100% done BUT the copy files bar is stuck at 2% and doesn't change at all. When I tryed again I got the same results. Can anyone help me solve this probelm. I really need help on this one.

My team is having trouble with the wing definition worksheet. We are trying to implement the tail section into our design, however the mathcad worksheet which we downloaded from the "design kit" folder does not include all the inputs which were in the "Tail design process" video. The sheet does not include the x,y, and z coordinate input for the tail section. We have attached the mathcad worksheet so you can see what we are talking about.

Is there a tutorial for making drawings (drafting) in Creo that is available for the students? The tutorials on the training page are for modelling and assemblies, and the one that includes drafting says it is for ProE. Is that one close enough? Thanks.

At last week's RoboTalk (http://bit.ly/ypMhAz )   one of the guests asked whether it was possible to use a Mathcad Solve Block to the angle at which to position the launcher on your robot if you know the initial velocity of the ball leaving the launch device. I played around with some worksheets that I created after watching some launcher prototypes on Youtube to create the attached worksheet. Teams should be able to study and revise this worksheet to develop a worksheet that can be used to help save time by using predictive engineering to determine critical values of design parameters before building and testing the robot. If you have been to one of PTC's Hands-on-Workshops this past year, using this worksheet should be easy. If you need some help, you can email me at -Good luck!Chris

During the FRC build season, all FRC and FTC teams are welcome to a free weekly webinar called "ROBO-TALK." Topics such as improving program management of your team, quick conceptual design tips, documentation and calculation tips, etc. will be covered as well as guest appearances of teams, mentors, and special guests.The weekly webinars begin tomorrow January 12th. Check here for dates, times and registration. Good luck this season!

This Mathcad worksheet was created by Mathcad Application Engineer Roger Yeh and used as a demonstration at the FTC Kickoff event held at PTC's Needham Headquarters in September 2011.
