PTC University Training

I am looking for information for CAD administrator training. My company runs Creo, Catia, & Autocad.  I have training in Creo (16 years), Catia (3 years) Autocad (3 years) & Solidworks (1-2 years).Any suggestions for training would be helpful.  Thank you in advance.

In attempting to create a variable connector group, I've run into a snag when it comes to naming the ports. The tutorial runs you through how to automatically name them numerically, but when I apply the help documentation to try and label the ports in an alphabetic manner instead, (which will make it easier given that the real life connectors are labelled alphabetically) I get stuck.In the tutorial, you set the name_format parameter to #, and then add a label to the port shape with the format set to <name>. This then populates a variable connector with port names 1, 2, 3, etc.In the help, it states:However, when I try to use this, I get something that looks like:This happens regardless of which of the versions I use (full, trunc, hex).I've tried varying the capitalization (Trunc vs trunc), varying the location of the # (#trunc vs #trunc# vs trunc#), but all that does is vary the location of the number.Can anybody help me out with a step I'm missing?Regards,Matt

Hi guys,          Am beginner with creo customization, am trying to create a simple 3D model say a Rect block. I am trying to create that, really I don't know how to start that. If any body had sample program, please give me or please give me any tutorial link. Thanks in advance.

What do you guys think would be the best training avenue?  Take the intro to CREO 3.0?  I think the CREO 3 intro will help me understand what I'm being taught in CREO-NC.  I'm starting new after 9 years of MasterCAM.TIA

Myself and another new mechanical engineer recently started working at an established company 2-1/2 months ago to replace a person that left.  Both of us have years of experience using SWX and Inventor and a few other CAD packages; the company is using Creo, which either myself or the ME ever used.   After 2 months of using Creo, both of us are finding  that Creo is so unintuitive to use with a steep learning curve that there's a large drop in productivity that its effecting the company.   During the interviews we were never asked if we know Creo, because from what I found out by asking around, management ( non-engineers) assumed that if you know one CAD s/w package how hard could it be to learn another, there all the same.     We asked for 2 weeks training but after showing the training quotes they took no action on it, and swept it under the rug.Recently I stated my argument to the same managers, that with no training on using Creo ma

PTC University is participating in the LiveWorx conference in many different ways: We are offering many different trainings for users of all skill levels and across the PTC product lines and have some of our experts present breakout sessions. We also run an eLearning Lab and a dedicated Certification Room for those users of ThingWorx who would like to get officially certified. On top of this, we are looking forward to meeting you at our booth in the Xtropolis expo hall (look for the Travel Agency in the floor plan!), where we can chat about our latest training offerings and answer curriculum questions.   At the latter, we also run short presentations around a variety of topics and will demo our latest learning tools to you. One highlight will be the NEW and revamped PTC Learning Connector, which will be released at LiveWorx.   As we would like to give you the opportunity to plan your visit and select the topics most relevant for you, here's our on-booth demo schedule: &nbs

As we are getting into the "hot" phase of final preparations for LiveWorx, we are seeing more and more questions from attendees on individual classes offered. People are finalizing their agendas and training sessions.   There are only a few slots available for some of the full day classes we are running on the days before and after the conference. These full-day classes are very popular, as they are small-sized deep dives into a given topic and they are sold with a 50% discount off the regular training day rate.   We had an inquiry for the ThingWorx Analytics class just this week and the customer requested more information on the content. As we currently have 3 more seats left, we thought we'd share this information here to help others with their registration planning.   Course Structure: "Applying Machine Learning using ThingWorx Analytics" (The following lists the modules of the course and a brief explanation of what will be covered in that module.)   ThingWorx A

I would like to solicit recommendations for live training for our company.   We are starting from the ground level, but there are a few of us who can perform simple routing for cables and wires.  Thanks....

At LiveWorx 2016 Master Classes for experienced PTC Creo and PTC Windchill users, you can build advanced knowledge of those PTC solutions. The cost is $495 for each one-day Master Class when you purchase any other registration package. These courses will be offered on Friday, June 10 only.   For each of these classes we have a couple of seats available. However, Master Classes tend to fill up quickly, so early booking is recommended.     "Mastering CAD Driven Product Structure Management with PTC Windchill PDMLink 11.0" >> More Info & Register: LiveWorx 2016 | Session Catalog   "Introduction to Model Based Definition (MBD) with PTC Creo Parametric" >> More Info & Register: LiveWorx 2016 | Session Catalog   Let us know if you have any questions!   Hope to see you in Boston!   Bettina  

Hallo Zusammen, wo finde ich ein Tutorial mit Beispieldateien zum Import Data Doctor? Kann mir da freundlicherweise jemand weiterhelfen?   Gruß Hans-Jürgen Kapfer

In previous parts of this series, I talked about the value of having a Learning & Adoption Strategy in place early and discussing the questions of WHO, WHERE and WHEN we should be informing and training. In today’s blog, I would like to take a closer look at the learning and adoption content. WHAT should we be training and informing about?   The WHAT considers two important areas in a successful implementation: The training content and the information content. Especially the training content creation is a vital part of the project plan and one of the most influential factors for the user ramp-up which considerably effects future system usage. The WHAT is one of the influential factors in a Learning & Adoption Strategy as it heavily impacts all other decisions. Any changes to the training content decisions require review of all other decisions:   There is an additional aspect of WHAT covered in the users’ environment, such as guidelines and methods. This will be discu

just started with creo parametric tutorial   my right mouse button doesn't pop up menus as shown in the instructions   is there a way to set this up?

Greetings:I recently started a new engineering position  (6 weeks), and this is my first time using Creo.  I come from the Inventor/Solidworks/ Solidedge world   I have been using Creo for 5-6 weeks and I am absolutely struggling mastering the basics to the level of frustration that I have leave my office and go for walks to calm down, and considering re-activating my job search.  In the previous CAD packages they were easy to use and never required training.    I've asked for some training (first time ever) but its gotten shot down, and in the meantime there is a concern that I'm not producing designs.   To top that off I'm at a small company with myself being the only ME/Creo user, so I have no one to ask questions on the s/w.  I started some one of the tutorials, but I stopped it after I was not getting the same results after multiple time.  Can some PLEASE recommend a Creo for dummies book, any help would be appreciatedFra

As a company headquartered in Boston, it’s about time we cite one of our city’s most famous sons…   “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about.” – Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 / Boston -- April 17, 1790 / Philadelphia)   I just saw the quote while doing some reading on the web and it made me think. We all try to do our jobs the best we can and we hope that others appreciate this and find value in the things we say, write, or offer.   For our team at PTC University, this relates to our instructor-led training classes, our eLearning courses, and all the other services we are offering to ensure PTC customers are successfully using our software and solutions.   We have a global team of subject-matter experts with many years of industry, but also teaching experience to create our training content in cooperation with PTC product management. Our instructors undergo extensive didactical training, too.   We do hope you find our clas

PTC University Expert Model Analysis 2.4 was released on December 15, 2015.   This is a small release that allows PTC University to enable, disable or limit features in XMA Desktop via the license file allocated to customers.  With this ability, we'll be introducing a new lower cost variant of XMA Desktop in the next few weeks.   What’s new in XMA 2.4:   Existing XMA Desktop licenses issued prior to the 2.4 release will work as they did in XMA 2.3; enabling all features available at the time of XMA 2.4. New XMA customers may purchase a lower cost license with some features disabled and/or a limit on the number of files that may be scanned per scan. Users can query the XMA Desktop features they are licensed to use by looking at the feature configuration information in the About PTC University XMA Desktop dialog.  This can be accessed by selecting Help > About PTC University XMA.   If you have any questions or feedback about this release, please don't h

Hi,I'm looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable in 5 Axis mill-turning area in Creo 3.0Any recommendation ?

I have recently got a DIY 3D printer and I have been using Freecad but I read that Creo was a better free cad since it was parametric.  I have been trying the free trial software with youtube tutorials and I like what I see so far. I have been working on this tutorial, Creo 2 Tutorial - Name Tag with Text on a Curve - YouTube .However, I do not have the tame text tool as the tutorial, or at least I do not know where the find it. The only text tool I have found is in the one shown in the picture below. Is there anyway I could wrap text around the edge of my model?

Hi All,I’m having a bit of a hard time with this. I seem to have a singularity, and I can’t get away from it. I’ve done a few simple models akin to what I’d expect here at work, and each seem to have convergence issues. I’ve tried various methods, but it’s always there. My Von Mises graph is always rising, although some to a lesser degree, always rising.Today I’m attempting the ‘connecting rod’ model from the ‘Toogood’ book, Creo Simulate Tutorial. Of numerous analyses run, my singularities are always one of the two points highlighted. No matter how I try to isolate these corners/points, I can’t get convergence. I’ve tried multiple attempts at excluded edges & points and re-entrant corners. I’ve even been playing with mesh sizes.. Nothing seems to correct, or lessen the convergence rise. Mind you, I am getting better at knowing what to turn off, what to turn on, and what / how that affects the results.I’m currently playing with the geometry, and adding rounds to the 90° edges. Whil

Is a there a detail tutorial somewhere that demonstrates how to use program effectively?
