Hello all,Long time Creo user, i started with a Logitech MX mouse, after a few years had a wrist pain. I switched to MX vertical for several years, no more wrist pain but now it’s the elbow. I read that a trackball could be ergonomically better than a mouse so I’m looking for a model. Anyone here using a trackball ? Do you have a model recommendation ? Models to avoid ? I’m using Creo for CAD and Esprit for CAM.Thanks.

Does anyone have an easy solution for toggling model check on and off from the UI or using a mapkey on Creo 10? Currently I have been achieving the result by temporarily renaming the modcheck folder in my installation. I am working through a 12 page drawing that takes 10-15 minutes to complete a model check which is triggered every time the drawing is saved or checked in to Windchill. Besides being a productivity killer as Creo is held hostage during the check, it is also a disincentive for the user to save frequently.This sluggishness has occurred on both a i9 13th gen powered  with 64gb of ram and a new Dell Pro Max 16 with current gen i9 ultra and 64 gb of ram.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.4.0 When I import a .idx file, many of the ECAD components are imported as assemblies. For example, some small resistors end up being 3 different parts that are combined into one assembly. Is this how this is supposed to work?

Hello everyone,I have a question regarding the representation of partial threads in Creo Parametric. There, only a single surface is created for the thread surface together with the hole, which makes it impossible to colour the surface of the thread. We use the following creation method for a partial thread:We like to use colouring to visually show how deep the threads should be cut.Do you have any tips and tricks for this, or is this not an issue for you?

Hi Community,I am a beginner in ThingWorx and trying to understand the correct way to implement custom JavaScript-based functionality in a mashup.My requirement is drag and drop. For example, I have two columns, A and B, and I want to drag an image from column A and drop it into column B. As soon as the image is dropped, I want to call a ThingWorx serviceI have a few beginner questions:For this kind of requirement, should I create a custom widget / extension, or is there any simpler way to do it in a mashup?If I need a custom widget, should I build it using plain JavaScript or TypeScript?Does ThingWorx support this kind of drag-and-drop behavior out of the box, or does it need to be implemented as a custom extension/widget? If a custom widget is the right approach, are there any beginner-friendly examples or documentation for creating ThingWorx web components/widgets? PTC’s Web Component SDK docs mention creating widget extensions and packaging web components for Mashup Builder. ()Afte

When changing the item type from Informational to Requirement, the Status field remains unset. Status is not required in an informational type but is required for a requirement type.  It would be better if the item entered into the workflow at the initial state.  Is there a work around to force the item into the initial state, we couldn’t find a way.

Hello all,  I am currently working on a complex Report for ECR system. I have made a great progress by studying other threads and also found some QML´s. However I am now stuck in and I would need your advice. I was able to create a report able to track data in ECR, ECN + DT and examine complexity, how long it took (by calculation), etc.My trouble is to track activities in different objects. I was able to create a connection Change Activity → (Primary Business Object) → WORK ITEM → (Source) → WF Assigned Activity, that will report activities I needed however only for one of the Objects, but when I connect WORK ITEM with (Primary Business Object) to any other Object (ECN, ECR) I get no results.  Can you advice what should I to to get activities from all of the types in single report?  Thank you in advance.
