Hi all,I'm working on thingworx developer videos by ptc.But I'm unable to connect with thingworx academic simulator.Could you please guide me with proper details to resume my progress with thingworx.Thanks,Ahmed

OverviewThingWorx can use JDBC drivers to connect to any JDBC compatible database (such as SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, etc.). It can also be done using the ThingWorx Edge Microserver and the ThingWorx Host/Resource using OLEDB and ODBC if the Database happens to be behind a firewall.If a JDBC Extension does not exist in ThingWorx for your Database, you can manually add the JDBC driver, by downloading the driver(s) and adding the files to the following location: /Tomcat folder/webapps/Thingworx/WEB-INF/libAfter copying the driver(s), over you must restart ThingWorx (or Tomcat if that is easier).If you do not want to manually load the JDBC driver to Tomcat and have to restart Tomcat, you can build a Database Extension that includes the JDBC driver & Qlikview Application, and import that extension. The advantage of this approach is that you do not have to manually load the driver, the class load is handled for you, and it is upgrade safe, so you do not have to redeploy the driver when

We suddenly cannot access content on the Windchill server for FIRST robotics.  We can navigate to the content, but when we try to add parts to the workspace, we get an error message that says we do not have sufficient priviledges and to contact an administrator. I hope this is an easily and quickly resolved issue: we're midway through build season and cannot afford to lose even one day of our schedule.   Thanks,   Noa

We'd like to attach video data with one of our thing templates. Is this doable?

i can't download creo 4.0 because the registration system keep rejecting my US phone number. Anyone ever had that problem before ?

I bought a license for this version of Creo 4.0 since my study program does not cover Creo.  I want to install the license file associated with this version NOT the free university version since I need simulator as well.  I tried contacting customer service and they were Zero help mostly due to the language barrier.  When I do a fresh installation, it does not find my order number or the product code I have.  Please help me find a PDF to install properly or solving my issue would be great!

I have the educational edition of Creo 4.0 and it keeps giving me an error when I try to use simulate. it keeps saying unable to get required Creo Simulate license  

We are just about to start a new CAD course and we have some new faster cpu/gpus which will enable working with more complicated models (We are teaching ~90/session so hardware costs have been an issue). As a first task I was hoping to give the students a bit of time to get used to the Creo system and in particular the oreintation and view commands.      We obviously have  some models that we could give them, but wondered if any of the nice models often wheeled out at PTC presentations/launches are available for use by students. e.g. the full sports car model.  Having a reasonably complicated model of a commercial system would hopefully engage the students more. We already have a model of a large engine and a animated engine we have developed for the course.     The hype of a nice model with the students ability for move/fly around it, section and generate orthographic and rendered views early in the corse would be probably enthuse them over the block

hi everyone, I'm trying to add family table in assembly. It's a series of cylinder-style assemblies. when I add TRANSLATION1_MAXIMUM_LIMIT:CONN_4 as new column, and input values with "Open in Excel", and save, the values are not showing under the TRANSLATION column i created. Instead it shows only *.  Even when i just modify family table other columns like COMMON NAME with "Open in Excel", without touching TRANSLATION column, the values under TRANSLATION column will disappear.   is there anyway to avoid this? I really don't want to retype hundreds of value again and again.....

Hello, I am looking for the solution to my problem: How can we use a single part in an assembly with various dimensions, I wanted this to change the length of the Bosch Aluminum Profiles without making different part file of variable length in an assembly model.   Regards Yash Yadav

Hello,   I am trying to open Creo Parametric 4.0 for students and even though I followed the directions in the PDF provided by PTC on how to install it, it does not work. I copy and pasted the correct license for students and it still gives me the same error message. Please help. Homework is due on Saturday and I can't do anything without it.   Error message attached below.  

The most recent version of PTC Creo is available for FIRST teams. You can download it from our FIRST resources website: https://www.ptc.com/en/academic-program/k-12-program/students/first/software PTC recommends any team still using Creo 3.0 upgrade for the 2018 season. The newer version works better with Windows 10 and is required in order to use the KOP and field models available on our resource page.   -Brian

I am a decent coder with backgrounds in electrical engineering and programming engineering although I am a chemical engineer withe a biology degree. I love computers. and I am good with them. I just need help getting the the data to and from from the Thingworx servers in an acceptable time.  I think this is possible and I am not as good of a coder as I think I am.  Please help me!.I have a state machine built that lets you choose what type of control that you want which can be the  steady state operating curve, Step, Frequency Response, Pi, & PID.i would assume that others are have this trouble or I am just missing something completely.Also, Let me know if you would be interested in seeing the code and I will send it to you.Thank you & I look forward to hearing from you.-Hunter Eberle

Hi, I have just been able to install Creo 4.0 (Student Version), thanks for the guidance.   I now have two questions:   (1)  The software (Creo 4.0) has various components, like Mathcad, GD&T, etc., how can I learn the full usage of the complete software, Creo 4.0? Do I have to buy separate textbooks to help me learn to use the software effectively, or the software developer, PTC itself provides training materials and resources for students, or I should rely on both textbooks and training materials? If I have to buy textbooks, what are the title of the best textbooks. If I have to get training material or links from the company, PTC, how do I get the links?   (2)  There are different separate software like Creo Direct, Creo Layout, Creo Simulate, PTC Mathcad, etc. When I check, it seems all these software are also contained or embedded in ‘Creo 4.0 software’. And when you have Creo 4.0, you do not need to install other separate software like Mathcad, Cr

Heyho PTC community,   I'm writing this post as a last resort as I'm heavily struggling with getting the student version of Creo installed. Whether it be 3.0 or 4.0, I'm always running into the same issue. I sadly am unable to give you exact error messages in English as my copy of Windows is locked to German, literal translations will have to suffice I suppose.   My issue: No matter what I try, upon entering the license key, the installer stalls for a good 20 seconds, gives me a green "Success!" message, lists the license entry in the field below with status "Invalid file or invalid format", the "Next>>" option stays greyed out. Things I tried to resolve the issue:   -Installers of Creo 3.0 and 4.0, 64-bit -Unzipped through Windows Explorer as well as 7-Zip -AV and Firewall entirely disabled at all times -Tried internet connections via both Wifi and Ethernet -Always ran .exe as administrator -Used license keys from the corresponding PTC documents&nbs

Hello, At first sorry for my bad english I'm french.   I work with Creo at school and I have a student's license given by my school to work at home. I installed Creo 4.0 on my computer but since some days it doesn't open without any error message. Is somebody have a solution I have a big work to give in 2 weeks and I really need help Thank you

I have verified and installed my license multiple times, and I keep getting this error. I have the license in my files, not sure what to do now. 

Hello,I've installed creo 3.0 using a student licence. When I start Creo, a warning message (screenshot attached below) prevents the progam from running. Licence does not support this version. Is there an older version available for student download?Thanks in advance.

I have a student who is adding decals to his part.  It's a simple square block with a chessboard image.   Everything works fine.  He saves the part.   Then when he opens the part again, the decal has disappeared.  He can then go to render it again,  but why is the decal not saving to the part? Btw, he is using the same network license server as others in the class.  They are not having this problem.Seems very strange.Thanks for any help.-Brett Penza,Holy Name Central Catholic High School.  

The rest of the programs work but Creo Parametric refused to work. It says "Liscence request failed for feature" and it would be really helpful if somone could provide a solution. I tried working with a support person but it didn't work so I thoguht somone may be able to provide a solution.
