Is it possible to have 2 Creo sessions running in parallel with the 1st session connected to Windchill and the 2nd one working in local? Creo Parametric 7.0.2.0 As soon as I connect one session, the other session is connected. It's exactly the same behaviour when I disconnect one of them from Windchill. 

Hello, I have generated a new Schematics license, when the machines try to access it this error appears, what can I do?

I have connected the Pro/Library to our Windchill, where we have all our company library parts.But the standard library view shows only the part number all part attributes are missing. But it is nearly useless for the users because they cant see nearly nothing when searching for parts. Is there a way to bring more views (the windchill views) into library? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0First I should point out that I have been using Creo since early ProE. I have generated thousands (literally) of drawings.I have a plate with some holes, some tapped and some not. I am not able to show the threads on the tapped holes.

Prior to CREO 6, I can install a new release of CREO on my machine and create a 7zip archive.  Users can extract this archive and install this on their machine without using the software center or requiring local admin rights.  With the new releases now, you have to run the creoagent (creosvcs_64.exe) which requires admin rights.  PTC support stated that this is not a supported method, and not offering any workarounds.   I believe some folks are still using this method for their deployment.  Just curious how I can do this for our CREO 10 deployment and not have to rely on the software center.  Thank you all in advance! Calvin

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.4.0Hello,I would like to create a PDF which contains a drawing in format 8-1/2 by 11 (A) and a format 11 by 17 (B), in the same drawing.example: page 1 is of format A and page 2 is of format B.Except that, when printing if the format A page is first, the second page which is format B will be compressed into format A.So, is it possible to create a PDF document and have the first page come out in format A and the second page come out in format B.

Wanting to setup Creo 7, so that when we login and can use either metric or imperial.  I can do this by having a metric and an imperial start part, I think. But how do I go about it when I start a new drg, If I bring in a metric format, it will bring in our dtl file, but if I bring in an imperial format, it will be the same dtl file......do I have to create a metric and imperial config and setup a mapkey to switch between the two, when required ? Stuart

Is there a setting I can set in Creo to prompt me to update the drw file after modifying part and asm files? I know there is a value for the auto_drawing_update variable that causes an update. When you modify and save a part or asm file other than the variable values, the "Do you want to update related files?" message appears. A message appears. I would like to pop up a dialog box with the phrase:   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate.    Creo에서 부품 및 asm 파일을 수정한 후 drw 파일을 업데이트하라는 대화 상자를 표시하도록 설정할 수 있는 설정이 있습니까?업데이트를 유발하는 auto_drawing_update 변수 값이 있다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 변수 값 이외의 부품 또는 asm 파일을 수정하고 저장하면 "관련 파일을 업데이트하시겠습니까?" 메시지가 나타납니다. 라는 문구가 있는 대화 상자를 띄우고 싶습니다.

As per the original post.    Newbie here. How  can I increase the font size in the "Message Log Bar". Also, need to increase font size in dimensioning dialog in modelling.  I think I lost my config settings when i tried to fix myself. See screenshots.

Hi!  I'm Johannes, and I'm currently writing my master's thesis on a Creo Parametric project that I developed during an internship at a company with a commercial license in Creo. Now that I have finished the internship and am no longer employed by the company, I still need access to my Creo files for screenshots and dimensions from the assembly. I downloaded the student version of Creo 9 but cannot open the files I created with the commercial licence. Is there any way or workaround to open the commercial files with the student version? Or is there an affordable licence for about 1 or 2 weeks to upgrade my student licence, allowing me to open the CAD files created with the commercial licence? I hope someone can help me! Kind regards Johannes 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0Error message: "Customizing parts is not available in the standard version. Please contact your account manager to upgrade." when trying to add a fastner to an assembly. This was available for us in Creo 10.

Hello, When you buy a Creo Licence, they add a creo "home use" licence. If i install this licence on my personal computer, can I make commercial use of it ? But without any link with my employer who purchases the initial Creo license for my work. Concrete example :- I work in a design office of a private company with a Creo license. So i have a "home use" license in addition. On my personal time, the week-end for exemple, on my personal computer (no connection with my employer). Is it possible to design parts, print it in 3D and sell it with self-employed or independent status ? Thanks in advance.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.3.0In a sketch, the function to "Convert Selected Entities to Construction" is grayed out for some entities but not others. I used to be able to convert any sketched entities to construction. Edit:  I don't know why this topic was created in the "System Administration" category...

Hi,I am looking to cleanup my hardware inventory and IFX tool. How can I export all of the IFX hardware that I have created into a spreadsheet? I have a spreadsheet with all the parts created in Windchill and want to compare it to all of the parts that are able to be populated using IFX, ensuring there are not duplicates or unwanted hardware in Windchill. Is there an automated way or a tool to do this so that I don't have to manually copy all the data from each family table into one spreadsheet. I am using Creo 9.0.5

Hi,We currently run Creo 10 and Windchill 12. When looking at the compatibility of Creo and Windchill a newer version of Creo, version 11 in this case, seems to require an update of Windchill. Out of curiosity, what is the reason for having to update Windchill with an update of Creo? This makes it difficult and takes a long time to get a budget for such an update.

I have a cross section using a hatching we have been using for rubber since Creo 7. We have upgraded to 10 (version 10.0.4.0) and I have created a directory to store user defined cross hatching. When I call up the drawing and pick the hatching in the detail view and try to save under "User defined" the program locks up, waits about 10 seconds, and then winks out. No write-back, no nothing, just a fast crash. Any ideas as to what it is doing? It is repeatable.  

Can you tell me if the Creo Parametric trial license include all the Creo design essentials modules?

Hello All!I'm trying to use ModelCheck (with Creo 8.0.5.0), but all it does is just these messages:ModelCHECK - Unable to determine loadpt directoryModelCHECK is disabled. What I've checked / set: - ModelCheck component is installed- config.pro contains both "modelcheck_enabled (yes)" and "modelcheck_dir"- "mcdir" env. variable added- I use Creo in English, but I also tried the lang=c env. variable- the custom ModelCheck directory contains the "config" folder What (else) must be done to make the ModelCheck work?Thank you in advance!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.4.0Is there a better way to create a visible area on a view using shapes, or datum planes rather than just using splines that you have to free hand draw?Another question I have, is when drawing with splines, can you create a hard, one point turn if you're trying to create a square for example?

When user adds a drawing to his workspace, opens the drawing, opens the model from the drawing, hidden external sketches appear.  The same is not true if the model is opened directly (not thru the drawing).  Sketches are hidden just the way the model was saved.- Sketches are on a Hidden layer in both drawing and model- Config option 'autohide_external_sketch yes' has been added.  No change in function.- Once model is opened and sketches show, if you select one sketch 'show' then hide it again, they all will hide as in the original model. I have tried opening this in Creo without any config options and get the same results. For the user to create the screen shots for different publications, they must first fix the model before creating the screen shots. or clear the workspace, load the model and open the model directly. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0Creo user is experiencing long delays opening up Creo files. Sometimes longer than 3-4 minutes. Mainly solid models. Sheetmetal models appear to be better.
