We are having an issue using Creo over our VPN. When retreiving an assembly over vpn it is very slow and users are seeing a performance hit. When a user goes to retreive an assembly a bunch of temp files are written to their home directory which is on a network drive. Is there a way to change the creo home directory to use a local folder and not a network drive? Or does anyone have any other work arounds for this?  Thanks

We are upgrading to v8.0.8.0 of Creo Parametric and need to certify the FlexLM 11.16  I have downloaded the latest FlexLM, and was wondering if I need to request a temporary license of Creo Parametric, or if I can download from the site and just provide our test server instead of the production server. Regards, Lawrence DemersGeneral Motors

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.2.0Since a couple of week tthe font displayed in the embedded browser window appears in bold format and I can't set it to normal.

Even when I try to sketch and select the plane from the left, it won't let me sketch, nothing which I draw is visible. Is there any fix to this?

The suggested techniques to disable the new version pop up to messages is problematic as I have users around the globe that have different .psf files for various reasons.  Manually going in and changing it for each user around the globe doesn't make much sense either.  Can there be a config.pro option to disable this functionality vs. modifying the .psf file or browsing to the General Setting dialog to disable.  I push a config.sup everytime the users launch Creo from a globally common location so that is the most desirable way to turn off this functionality.  So there is no confusion, an image of the message I want to disable is attached.

When I try to open CREO 10-0-3-0 I get this error, I've removed flexnet and everything, creo still won't open

While I was working in an assembly it created these, which don’t seem to be referenced by their respective parts or drawings. The CK-02140-2TUBE originally had the same incomplete icon, but there was an option I tried for “add placeholder” which didn’t end up helping. Trying to remove them from the workspace gives the error: A referential integrity violation occurred for this operation:Object "CAD Document Reference Link - wt.epm.structure.EPMReferenceLink:64348686"references the object "wt.epm.EPMDocumentMaster:64348628" that was removed from the system. But I don't really know how to proceed with fixing this, or what to do with the EPM reference/master errors. The ghost files are preventing me from checking in drawings, and they don't seem to appear as dependencies in the reference viewer, unless I'm missing something. Any advice?

As a thought experiment, what would the ultimate Creo Parametric machine look like? I don't mean what would be a good, optimized, practical laptop or desktop PC. I mean what no compromise, unlimited budget, high-end workstation would crush anything Creo Parametric could do? In the list below, I'm basically just picking the fastest things I know about, but are there any actual numbers out there? Would a sufficiently high end Xeon or Threadripper surpass the 14th gen i9? Would a 4090 overtake the A6000 despite being a "productivity" workload? Would a Xeon or Threadripper, despite have slower single core performance, be worth it for the increased max memory (2TB vs 192 GB) when opening extremely large top level assemblies (>15,000 unique parts, >1,000,000 instances)?  CPU: Intel Core i9-14900K (6.0 GHz Turbo on 8 P-cores, 4786 MOps/sec single thread perf)GPU: NVIDIA RTX A6000 (48 GB GDDR6 w/ ECC)RAM: 192 GB DDR5 5600 MT/s ECCSSD: PCIe Gen5 M.2 NVMe, >10,0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.4.0We use multiple harnesses with the same connectors and pinout, only the lenght and routing of the harness assembly is different.So we have a harness assembly with corresponding cable part template that we can copy instead of doing the pinout every time manually by hand. From connector A to connector B and the cable part from A to B with correct pinout.However, when saving the harness assemlby as a copy and the cable part within it as a copy with a new name, the pinout from Connector A to connector B breaks. Resulting in doing the pinout every time.

I'm curious how other companies are deploying company standard model tree configurations with versions 6+ of Creo Parametric. These later versions no longer 'support' the old .cfg files (per CS315189). I don't believe there is an equivalent configuration option to deploy .ui files similar to the old mdl_tree_cfg_file configuration option. We are continuing (for now) to utilize mdl_tree_cfg_file but, since it is no longer supported, we want to move away from that older setting. I'm just looking for advice on how others are doing this (if you deploy model tree settings at all). Thanks!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.9.0I am creating .MTL files to represent materials in Creo. I have noticed that certain special characters get transformed by Creo into other text strings. For example, “ turns into “ What encoding is used by Creo MTL files (is it some variant of ISO-8859?). I don't think it is ISO-8859-1 (Latin alphabet 1), because the resulting characters include glyphs that are not in that encoding (ex: €).Here are the errors that I facedNone

I installed creo parametric successful on my desktop. Now I want to also use it on my laptop while traveling. But after following the same installation instructions, I get an error code -21 saying I dont have a active licence. How can I fix this?

I am unable to download Creo 9.0

Hi,I would like to include a feature parameter in the assembly table.For instance, in the part named "test," I have a feature called "change." In this feature, I have a parameter named "test."I would like to include this parameter in the assembly table.Is it possible to do this?Regards,T.

Creo Parameter of type "Real number" is transferred to PDMLink with scientific notation. Eg: 0.2234 in Creo is being displayed in Windchill as 2.2340000000000E-1 The value to be rendered correctly” has been created. How can we display it as it is?

We are using Creo 9.0   When we open "Cache Manager" in Creo, we select parts and try use function "Refresh", we are getting this error:   "Cannot get directory contents. Failed to load library libpro2soacore. Please ensure that the library is installed in path"   I am attaching config.pro file, couldn't find this library: "libpro2soacore"... Our configuration is using config_9050 and config.sub to create config.pro

Hello together,can you please explain what do the following abreviations concerning the configuration of Hole Function mean (wenn möglich auf deutsch): 1) PERCENT_THREAD2) CLEAR_DR_CLOSE3) CLOSE_DEC4) CLEAR_DR_FREE5) FREE_DEC6) CLEAR_DR_MED7) MED_DEC😎 CBOREDIAM9) CBOREDEPTH10) CSINKDIAM11) CSINKANGLE12) BOTCSINKDIAM13) BOTCSINKANGLE

I have wf4.0 floating license, but lost the installation file, who could tell me where can I download or get it from PTC offical portal or link ? thanks 

Hi there,is there anyone, who managed to run Creo Parametric on a Linux machine? I was able to start the installation in "wine", but it always has problems installing the "Platform Agent". 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.7.0We are using symbols in notes/tables with "&sym(...)" syntax. In some cases we reuse the same line in a note by copy paste function (using ctrl+c, ctrl+v).We noticed that doing so we get sometimes additional symbol, which is not visible, but placed behind note (not visible and not embedded in the note). Moreover, when symbol is being deleted from the note there is artifact of a deleted symbol remaining behind the note (not visible and not embedded in the note anymore). Those "background artifacts" causes issues when trying to update any symbol overlapping with artifacts.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0Parasolid files (x_t) when imported in CREO 6.0.6.0 not visible but it is opening and visible in CREO 10.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeF000Thank you for your assistance.We are currently using Creo 4.0.I am thinking of installing the new Creo from October this year,How different is the interface, feel of operation, and functionality of versions 9.0 and 10.0 compared to 4.0?I apologize for the vagueness of this question,We may need to revise our textbook, so we would appreciate it if you could enlighten us.Best Regards,Ryoji Kaneko

Hello,I need to lend a CREO license for 30 days, do you have a procedure on how to do that?
