Solved

I work on two idenpendant computer systems at the same desk. About 4 weeks we had a server crash. Since then I have one of the systems were the screen will freeze on one of several drawings that are open. It is sporadic and annoying. I zoom in/out, pan, or anything and nothing happens. Other drawings/models that are open in the session will not have this issue. If I save the drawing, close and reopen, it is gone, but if I am working on my other system for a period of time and come back to this system, another drawing may have decided to freeze.Does anyone have any idea as to why this may be happening on this one system and what may have triggered it (since the server crash?).Thanks, DaleThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi! I just startet studying and wanted to download Creo Parametrics 2.0 for home use, with the student licence. During the "Licence identification" step I enter my "Product code" and get my licens in the "License Summary".All well so far, but when I click "Next" the Installation Assistant stops working and the error message tells me that the program need to shut down. It would be lovely to be able to work with Creo at home, please help me! Tell me if you need more informatIsak, sweden

how to extend Creo 2.0 student licence

Hi, I may need to import some docs that are written with MS Word to Arbortext Editor in a short future.The Arbortext Editor we use is a customized version based on Arbortext Editor 5.3. There's no import/export function with the editor. Instead, there's Import Text File function.I have tried to save one doc as .txt and then use the Import Text File function but that didn't give me much help. It feels like a copy-paste function.Could you guys give me suggestions about how to make the conversion more efficient or perform an automatic conversion if possible?Thanks very much!

I was doing some reseach on what happen to the ComputerVision CAD program. It appears CV bought the CAD program Prime Madusa. CV was in turn purchased by PTC. Maybe that is why MathCAD has been renamed Prime.Cheers

Is there is a way to open my files from the academic version of Creo 2.0 to a commercial version?There were many useful applications I did during school and I would like to use them as resources.

Hello,I have been using Creo Simulate 2.0 for a few months for linear static structural analysis of plastic parts.Now I want to move on to non-linear analysis.I am facing difficulties in understanding how Creo Simulate sets the non-linear material properties.The plastic I am using is brittle in nature.Following are the engineering values available from the vendor's material data sheet:Young's Modulus = 7GPaStress at break = 115MPaStrain at break = 2.6%Flexural strength = 176MPa (Where do I put this value?)Yield Strength is not available. So assuming = 70MPaHere is what I put in Creo Simulate:I have some questions:1. Whatever I have done, is that right?2. How do I see the entire stress strain curve for the material?3. Does Simulate maintain tangency between the linear and non-linear curves?4. Is there any significant difference in computation time between the 3 types of curves?5. Does Simulate use the Yield Strength value for any type of simulation? In the sense that if I take the Yield

Good Morning I wonder if anyone has a solution to stream line the revision process. This is for simple revisions where the customer for some reason rev's up a part but has only attribute changes. Currently, as I know it, you revision an item up. You check the item out. You then edit the attributes. Finally you check the item back in. Is there a more efficent way to accomplish this process? No changes were made with the physical characteristics of the part. Our problem is we are having to make these changes on 50 component assemblies.Thanks in advance for your commentsBob

I'm trying to check in a series of parts/assemblies into Windchill but I get the following error message: New Object EPM Document Master - xxx.prt has same file name that exists in the database. In order to upload this object, you must update this object in the Workspace. My problem is that these parts are NOT in the Windchill cabinet yet. They are still new parts. When I do a search for these items, nothing shows up (as it shouldn't). When I try to update the items, there is nothing to update since they are still showing as new in my Workspace. Any idea as how to fix this or at least see what is supposedly in the Windchill cabinet?? I don't have admin rights so maybe there is something there that I just don't have access to see. Thanks.

How would I go about taking a model, drawing, and pdf that are in Windchill and save a copy of each in a folder on a separate server than windchill? They all have to be checked out so they cannot be edited in the mean time. The reason for this is the procedure we have is to save a copy of what is being changed in a certain folder. That copied file gets edited and reviewed. Once it is accepted, then the copy (and updated) files will replace the ones that were checked out originally. Whenever I go to save a copy in Creo, is only allows me to save in my workspace.

Hello, I'm working on my Creo 3 install batch file. I am using David's tokenizing ptcstatus.bat in Creo 2.0 to identify the buildecode allowing me to copy files down to clients to standardize the configuration. Creo 3.0 installs to a path with the build code in it. C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\F000\Parametric Creo 2.0 did not:C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 2.0\Parametric Problem is, this forces the path (eg. build code) to be know to run any standardization batch file. Has anyone overcome this issue yet? I suppose I could use IF EXIST statements to identify the folder...   Thanks for you thoughts, VaughnThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi,I'm looking for a way to solve x-mount of equations with an equal amount of solutions. However, when I try to use an array in my solve-block I don't get a solution and the amount of equations makes it extremely impractical to solve the equations without using an array.The attached mathcad 15 document is NOT the actual problem but the array-issue is the same.Any help will be much appreciated!

Good morning all.In my company, whenever I create a flat sheetmetal product, I'm going to have to make a drawing containing envelop dimensions to plot as PDF for reference and a second drawing with the flat-state scaled 1:1 to plot as dxf (which is used for the cam process).Since CREO there's this great feature in the "flat pattern preview" called bounding box (when in sheetmetal mode).This shows the envelop size of a flat sheetmetal part.Now wouldnt it be logical if drawing mode would have the same functionality?Everytime I create a sheetmetal drawing (PDF) I have to add these dimensions manually.Also it would be great if I could select drawing paper size that is slightly larger than the dimensions of the bounding box so when I press the Refit button, the part fits nicely on my screen (to be plotted as dxf, so I need scale 1:1).any comments?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Dear PTC Community Members,   I just realized after trying many different options, that what we can perform without any special process with Google Drive or Dropbox by only unzipping the "How to Model Almost Anything.zip" and "How to Develop a Product.zip" one can immediately begin the tutorial sessions using Creo Parametric if not constrained to the Windchill environment or workspace.   Now if I try to incorporate these lessons within WindChill, first I need to grab all the files within these different lessons and consolidate it into a SINGLE folder. After this, I need to upload all these mixed files into the the Windchill workspace tio then follow up with a CheckIn process. As I would expect, as soon as I tried this task errors started popping up left and right. Now if this process would be finally successful, then I would still have lost the context of having the CAD files and the structure of the original zip files just in order to be able to have Creo play nice with Wind

I try to solve a pipeflow problem but I have problems in doing so as I have no experience in this type of problem. In the first part of the sheet you will find the known variables. In the second part I try to calculate the different pressures. However, I have problems in setting up the equations. Would anyone be so kind to help me with this? The file is made with MC15
