Hello,I'm having some trouble uploading documents to Windchill 10.0, using the RWDC portal at https://rwdc.ptc.com.We have found the current capabilities within the "Meetings" section of the Navigator in Windchill to be lacking, so I decided to create a folder for all meeting notes in the "Folders" section of the Navigator.Fig 1:(Note you can click on the images to expand them if they do not display fully within the thread dimensions. Please notify me if you cannot fully see the images.)Within the Meeting Notes folder is notes from two previous meetings, which I had uploaded previously with no problems.Fig 2:When I attempt to create a new document using the "New Document" button the dialog appears and I filled it out (what is believe is) correctly.Fig 3:I assume the "Set Attachments" page is not needed as I have only one file to upload. Therefore I click "Finish" in hopes that it will create the document space and upload the file to the Windchill server; however it throws what looks li

Hi,I appear to be experiencing a licensing problem when I want to make a welding in the welding application. I am using Creo Elements/ Pro 5.0 Student Edition and can run the welding application without problems. But when I actually want to place a fillet weld, Creo tells me that a file called iso_fillet.sym located in Program Files\Creo Elements\Student Edition\symbols\library_syms\weldsymlib\iso_weld is created with a commercial license of Creo and therefore not compatible with my Student Edition. Then, Creo crashes. Does anyone experience a similar problem? Or even know a solution?Cheers and Thanks, Felix

Hi folks! Wanted welcome you to the training community in PlanetPTC. We created this forum for you to ask questions about training you have recieved, get your feedback, share ideas, tips and tricks, and more. So, tell us about your last training experience and get the conversation going!

Company policies and budgets aside – I understand that we cannot always get what we want (*Sigh* I am still waiting for George Clooney to take me out to dinner) – but what is your personal preference for taking training?With every minor or major software update?A beginner training only when you start working with a new product?Once a year to refresh your skills and especially those you may not need on a day-to-day basis?Or as often as possible in order to reach an advisor status in your organization who can then pass on knowledge to the colleagues?Looking forward to hearing from you!Bettina-

HalloIch habe mir die Mathcad Student Edition gekauft. Leider habe ich bis jetzt nur den Key für Mathcad Prime 1.0 Student Edition erhalten.Eine Schulbesuchsbetätigung habe ich an ptc.de@digitalriver.com gesendet. Bis jetzt habe ich noch keine Antwort erhalten.Wie komme ich zu dem Mathcad 15 Key um die alten File umzuwandeln. Besten Dank Christoph

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
