PTC Education

A few months ago, I had already blogged about this topic. What is effective training preparation? In other words: What can you do to get the most out of your attendance?The original blog post wasn’t commented on, but I had received a lot of positive feedback from customers and colleagues that this is an interesting topic and many people shared their views over the phone. So I thought I'd bring this up here again, now as we have our own Community for training topics!Can you share your experiences?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. So I'm in the RWDC for this year and I'm trying to get Creo on my home computer, but it keeps getting interrupted once it's downloaded around 300 - 500MB. I figured I'd create an account (which I would assume I'd have to do anyway) and ask this, although right now it seems to have gotten farther than normal so that could have fixed the problem. Any suggestions?

for the RWDC, are we supposed to use the student edition or the school edition? on the RWDC website, it says student edition but on the email packet, it says school edition....which is which?

Hi,Im mentoring team 3316 in Tel Aviv Israel again this year. I want the kids to learn how to work with creo elements pro (formerly pro e). I saw that there is this new thing called precision lms where they can do online training courses. i also read that a group can be opened and i can monitor the kids progress. how do i do that? it seems like im supposed to have a "teacher" account, how do i get one of those. thanks,Itzik

Hey everyone,So I have had a lot of fun using Mathcad since Feburary of this year. Our FIRST Robotics Competition team 1671 from Clovis, CA got it free as a part of competitions Kit of Parts. I have main been checking out the solve and set equal to operators and taking integrals for my Calculus homework when I get tried of doing them by hand.But recently, I have found another use for it. A little over a month ago, I joined the Zero Robotics Competition, a competition sponsored by MIT, NASA, DARPA, TopCoder, and some other institutions. They challenged teams to develop software that would make a robot revolve a round an object, like in a circle. Although it was quite simple at first, as the task got more difficult, I turned to Mathcad to help me solve some problems. However, I recently ran into some difficulties. First off, I am not entirely sure what Mathcad does and does not allow and understand. I have no formal training; I mainly learn through the included tutorial files on the prog

Hey: I cannot edit features of a part when I am in an assembly. I just switched over from Wildfire 5.0 to Creo. and did not have this problem in wildfire schools edition. Any ideas?

Hi AllI have had a request from a school that has dual boot Macs asking if it possible to run Creo Elements Pro on their machines.   The whole school policy is to use Macintosh machines but some have the Intel chipset which I beleive allows the machines to eiither dual boot or emulate a Windows machine.  If anyone has any information regarding this proposal please let me knowJohn E ForthLead Trainer Scotland

I am wondering when the Tetrix Bevel Gears will be available for download. When that happens, will the 2012 KOP be updated and noted revised, or where do we check for the additional content?We're using these in our robot this year, and were hoping to have themThanks very much,

I need some help with setting up the MathCad worksheet that the kids are supposed to use to upload calculations into Creo. I am a newby at this, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Has any one had issues with WF4 (student) crashing when trying to export a DWG format drawing. I have had this problem for some time and have not been able to resolve it.thanksAllan

Sample bevel gear blank.  Just a few features that could be used to represent a bevel gear.  Dimensions would need to be modified for the proper bore, thickness and overall diameter.  I would suggest adding material for proper weight.

Does anyone know how to change team members roles after they've accepted an invitation? I imagine it could be done by sending them a new invitation, but isn't there a simpler way?

I've been inviting team members to our Windchill Project. Most have had no problem, but one team member sent me the following email:"I tried to join the project but didn’t have a log in- I created a PTC user account-but now how do I get it to link up to this project?"It seems she has a log-in for the site but it's not associated with our project. Any ideas how to help?

Hi all,I'm a student at The University of New Mexico that's currently taking an engineering course under the instruction of Robert Greenlee. We were instructed to to create a PTC account and download Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 Schools Edition (formerly Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0), for free, from the main PTC website via this link:http://apps.ptc.com/schools/Creo_ElementsPro_Schools_DVD.zipThe file download completes, but everytime I try to open the file it is corrupted. Windows explorer also states that the file is only 2.0 GB in size when it is clearly supposed to be 3.6 GB (file size listed on download page).What is going wrong here? Is the file on PTC's servers corrupted or is this an issue on my end?I'm running Windows 7 64-bit Professional and have attempted downloading the file through Chrome and Internet Explorer.

First of all the download stops after 7% and wont go any further. And second question is im running windows7 64 bit. Is this proE compatible?

I had a problem starting my Pro E. I tried reinstalling it on my computer without uninstalling the program. That did not work. So I uninstalled Pro E and now it opens and seems to work but the program as soon as it opens tells me the license is no good. This is the only computer I have this installed.I sure hope this means there is just something I am over looking. Has anyone else had this problem resolved?

Can anyone tell me how I can insert parameters into the file list of items so that I can search for files related to them, i.e. customer, quote number, etc.The parameters exist I just cannot figure out how to define a screen view that will show the parameters in the list of available items.

Hi,I am a student in the Universidad EAFIT at product design engineering . This is a small example of the products that we develop in the program.Many products are designed and modeling in ProEngineer/ Creo Parametric.I would like to learn a little more about my experience and how they affect ouracademic development.http://www.eafit.edu.co/programas-academicos/pregrados/ingenieria-diseno-producto/Paginas/galerias.aspxSee you!

I bought last saturday creo elements/pro 5.0 student edition for private use.At first, I have the same 2% problem like other owner of a web installation version butI found the link to the DVD-file in this forum !Then I saw that the host-id in the license-file is a mac adress of a virtual nic, not of the correct nic.I changed the license file with a ascii editor.Now, if I try to install the software again and the installation routine asks for thelicense file, then a error meassage appear (That is not a valif flexlm license file).The license file seems to be damaged and the support did not answer me (mail)So has anybody an idea, how can I fix this problem?Thanks,Stefan

I have followed the instructions in page 25 of module 8 in the W5 Exercise and reference guide to create driven dimensions to avoid the need for students to do math to ascertain dimensions they need when building the product they have modelled.In Dimension - New references, I selected an edge and it changed to red colour but no dimension resulted.What have I overlooked?

Thanks again for attending the Creo 1.0 for Education Webcast! My name is Ned Daniels; I am the Business Development Manager for Mathcad in Academia. We had a chance to invite a lot of people to this webinar at ASEE, and quite a few of you had questions about Mathcad, and how it interacts with Creo. Feel free to reply with any questions or comments below that you may have following the webcast and I’d be glad to help.

Thanks again for attending the Creo 1.0 for Education Webcast! I am Alister Fraser the Education Program manager for PTC North America. It was a great pleasure today to announce the release of Creo 1.0 for our acadmic partners in North America. If you have any questions comments about your existing licensces or suggestions on how PTC can better support your undergraduate or post graduate programs I would be happy to answer them here.

This is an exercise made in FreeStyle of Creo Parametric 1.0. The model is the same as to the one made in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItCfgKs9OJk, which is modeling in Catia. I hope so , you like!! Modeling in Creo 1.0 Rendering in Creo 1.0

hey guys, I need some help regarding the license installation. My company recently bought Mathcad Prime 1.0 with Mathcad 15 and was installed to my office desktop PC. The company is providing me a laptop that I can carry anywhere for business use. My old PC will then be formatted and will be used by an officemate. Now my question is, is it possibel to re-install Mathcad 15 into the new laptop? I've heard about transferring Mathcad license that is allowed during the maintenance period, but that will not be the case because the new laptop will be my "permanent" computer. Can you refer me to a discussion regarding this? Thank you.
