Lots of people ask about how to create a chain in Creo Parametric. PTC has been providing a User Defined Feature (UDF) to create a chain in the FTC KOP for some time, but apparently we never gave enough information on how to use it. The design was created by Mobius Innovation and Development and is available on their website with PDF instructions on how to use it. It includes a great video showing how to add it to both Metric and Inch models.   Once created, the chain is a complex model, so don't worry about adding it too early in the design process or use a Simplified Representation to exclude it from your working model.   http://www.mobiusid.com/free-downloads/  

Hello AllRecently the IT department of our office has locked “Create Folder” option in window 7. This was done to avoid unwanted use of server storage. Our CAD dept.  cannot create any folder is server unless requested to IT Team. But can access, modify and create new parts, assemblies and drawings. All in all every thing is as usual, only “create folder” option is locked. Now the problem is, If we work on Microsoft office or ACAD we can save the contents, But in case of Pro/enginner wildfire 2; Save, Save as and Backup options are grayed out. It will be very kind of you if you can help to rectify this problem. Looking forward to hear from you soon

Hi Folks, I created a conveyor belt animation.  Followed an on-line tutorial, very good. mastering Creo by examples 39 ( moving belt) - YouTubeAnyway, once complete, my "baffle" on the belt is moving properly but the whole assembly is twirling around like a clock when the baffle hits the turn. Any ideas why this might be happening.I have set the conveyor structure and belt to - rigid-fix The rollers are pinned, they work fine.The Baffle is planar and slot points with edge of belt. The first time I did this tutorial everything worked fine. Now in class, we are having trouble with the twirling. If anyone has time to offer a few suggestions, thanks very much. This is Creo 3.0

HelloI recently downloaded PTC Creo Parametric for my Homework and eduction plan as an industrial engineer. In class we are used to deselect the "Default Template" and select "mmns_part_solid' as template. But there the problem occurs. I only have three templates to chose and neither of them is the good one. Is there a solution for it?Thanks for helpingDylan

Hi allI'm using the student version. After I entered my user name and password, The installation proceeds to the next step but it just froze. It didn't even load the packages.

Hello everybody,Recently I installed Creo 3.0 on my Computer (I have a MacBook, but I run Windows on a bootcamp partition).Unfortunately it won't work. Each time I try to start the program there's an error saying the Quality Manager can't run and Creo shuts down(error 0x0000000b, 0x06000001).As far as I understood, the Quality Agent is supposed to manage the students' license.The Registration for the license worked well. I use the BK400407EDSTUDENTUNI as license Code.I already tried to uninstalling and reinstalling everything several times. I tried to do the same with the Quality Agent, but I didn't have any success.One Thing seems weird to me: I got a mail "PTC License Pack" saying I installed Creo 2.0 - which I didn't. Maybe this is the source of my troubles.If anybody had a hint, I would be very grateful!

  Our School Creo Licence server on is unreachable by the client PCs.  Don’t know why it has dropped, but I tried to reconfigure the flexnet server with with no success.  I had a look around but cant find any information on how to configure.  Any help would be awesome, so we can continue teaching the course.

Hi, I'm a student user of Creo 2.0. I downloaded a number of tools after activating my license, one of those tools being Creo simulate. I attempted to upload an assembly that I had in my files, but after converting the measurements of the pieces I received this error message.I then clicked the OK box and was shown this windowI selected the OK box for this window and was given the same error message as before, which error message took me back to the model setup after I acknowledged it. I selected the cancel option on the model setup and was asked if I wanted to save the changes I had made to the assembly. I tied to save the model, but I received this error message.Even if I could save the changes made, it doesn't appear that I can use any of the features anyway. They all display the first error message. Anyone got any ideas?

Here's what I get.  Last model tree indicates multiple screw-ups.  What am I doing wrong?  I was trying to use "profile rib" in Model ribbon.

Is PTC going to collect team pictures and robot CAD models for the PTC booth at Worlds this year?   And is PTC supporting both World sites or just one?Rande JohnsonFRC4931 Mentor/Coach

I'd like to bring CREO Parametric into my 2-year tech college to start training our students to use CAD.  What is the best and/or most economical way for me to do this?  As an instructor, I already know how to use CREO, I just need instruction on the proper steps (step by step) for getting the software to the students and instructors.  I am also interested in any PTC e-Learning that would be available to aid in my instruction/classes.  Thanks, Mark

I have a persistent problem that prevents me from licensing my software. I purchase “PTC Creo 3.0 University Student Edition Premium Student/Teacher One Year License” from “Studica.com.”As of now, I have communicated both PTC and Studica, and this is what is my understanding of how the process from purchasing to installation should work, and what has happened to me. How the process should work:After purchasing the software, Studica proofs my student status. Next, Studica grants me access to a download link for “PTC Creo 3.0 University Student Edition Premium Student/Teacher One Year LicenseFinally, PTC communicates with me via email and instructs me on how to get the license for “PTC Creo 3.0 University Student Edition Premium Student/Teacher One Year License” What happen to me:After purchasing the software, Studica proofs my student status. Next, Studica grants me access to a download link for “PTC Creo 3.0 University Student Edition Premium Student/Teacher One Year LicenseFinally, PT

Will this be available to Academic groups as well?
