System Administration

I have been using Creo for a couple years. I recently replaced my hard drive several months ago and now am trying to reinstall Creo parametric. I installed Creo 9 by following the links for the Student Version (because I am still a student, after which I would become an educator). I installed Creo 9 and ran the program and it said that the Student License doesn’t support Creo 9 however the PTC website seems to indicate that it does.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.3.0I would like to know if there is a way to extend the left hand side section of the browser window to maximum extent possible. We are not going to use the section with address bar. We would like the right hand side section to be as minimum as possible.I tried setting Navigation Window Width to 100% but it didn't work. Browser width as percentage of main window is greyed out with 82 as its value.Here are the browser related variables set in the config fileweb_browser_homepage about:blankweb_browser_in_separate_window yes

Does anyone know how to set symbol_font to legacy by default for new parts and assemblies? I have tried changing it in my config files but I can't get it to work.   The issue is, that unless both the assembly and or part file and the drawing file have symbol_font set to legacy, this strange offset happens to my diameter symbol:

As per the original post.    I am having a similar issue trying to install PROEStudent wildfire 3.0. The DAT file sent to me is not recognized by the install program as a license file.

I have an old drawing file and I opened it in Creo Drawing 8.0 and want to create a Raster of that file.Can anyone please help me with how I can create it?

I set the 2d_palette_path in my config.pro to a location on Windchill (also tried desktop) and the path is not changing. The sketcher palette is still only showing the symbols located in the ptc directory\Common Files\text\sketcher_palette this is an example of what i am putting in the config.pro2d_palette_path C:\Users\username\Desktop What am I missing? Why doesn't the path or symbols that are available changing as expected?  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150Pro/Library: is it possible to include more columns using *mnu files in addition of Name, Description? We would like to see more columns bases on existing parameters. See picture files attached.

I created an assembly in the creo and converted to drawing. I wanted to create drawing of one of its subassemblies, so I did that in another sheet of the same drawing. I created the table using the repeat region for both the assembly and subassembly which are correct according to the parts present. But I am no longer able to create the automatic balloons. Is there some setting that has to be changed? Regards

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.2.0I'm unable to edit sketches. When attempting to define any sketch (stand alone, for extrusion, revolve, section, etc.) by editing dimensions, the dimension will open for editing, but will close again immediately before I can type in new value. I double click dimension to edit and it allows editing for a fraction of a second before locking again, as if I double clicked and then immediately hit "enter" to set.Here are the errors that I facedN/A

Hello All,did anyone face this issue? for some reason sometimes Solidworks seems disconnected from WGM and the files list on "PTC Windchill Status" disappears, even if the assembly is correctly opened.   Thanks for the support

General admin question:All Creo Parametric Installation and Administration guides have a section about the contents of the FlexLM license file and talk about EXTERNAL_NAME attribute in some of the license features. I attempted to edit my license file to use the EXTERNAL_NAME as described but it only caused the feature to become unavailable. Has anyone gotten it to work as described in the guides? Thanks!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0The scketch-dimensions are not editable, we can't modify directly buo only on the pop-up

Hello all,    got some basic question about data management. Working in company without Windchill. System is based on chaotic subfolders structure and the same project is shifted between different workstations on external HDD Everytime when project is shifted to other person so he has to find path to lost data and retrieve objects. My question is: Does exists something like "relative path" for SEARCH_PATH config options: Example: //project/main_frame/   l know is dumm question, but praxis is like l described... Thx for any advice best regards @mbonka

Dear All,Currently i am struggling to get the qty value in my Bill of material table correct. due to the use of nested repeat regions.   When a sub assembly is used multiple times i can not get the qty of the parts used in that assembly to represent the total amount of used parts.(see pictureI have tried to resolve the issue by using relations. but i can not refer to a value from one repeat region to an other. Douse anyone recognize the issue at hand and have ideas on how to resolve it? I am working with Creo 7.0.11.0. Tomas

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.8.0Since today, in the sketch module of 3D part, when I want to edit a value, the window to edit opens and closes immediately.I tried to restart my station, create a new part and change the CREO version but this problem persists.

I am not 100% sure if the root cause is from the latest flexNET (11.19.0) that was installed earlier this year.  Our license server daemon has been down intermittently and more so this week.  Our IT team has escalated the ticket with PTC, just curious to know if anyone else is also facing this same issue. Thanks! Calvin

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0If both creo5.0 and creo9.0 installed, how do configure that when opening Creo models directly, models created by creo5.0 will be opened with creo5.0 and models created by creo9.0 will be opened with creo9.0?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.10.0In sketcher we Can't edit the dimension. For example after selecting the dimension it is automatically un-selecting itself. The same issue is happening at 3 of our PC's. Requesting to make a swift action to resolve the issue asap.

 I am looking for the command line utility or any other command line functionality to be used for converting the Creo family table generic part or instance to be converted to step file.  I am not looking for the UI method as I am aware how to convert to Step using the Creo_viewer or adaptor. Is there any way we can run the Creo viewer in backend using command line ? I am searching on this topic since few days but no more info available. I really appreciate the expert guidance or opinion on this. I am using Creo parametric 7.0  or 9.0 and  10.   let me know if we have any feasible solution 🙂  Thanks.

Hi,I have currently CREO 9.0.0.0 Student Edition installed. When I start the application, a popup message tells me that a new version 9.x.x.x is available. But when I click on the update link, an other message tells me that I cannot update as I don't have a customer number. Does it mean that the Student Edition cannot be updated ?

Hello, I have the opportunity to purchase Creo version 3.0 M10 Essentials. I would like to ask because this version is already a few years old, is there any update, patch to download or improvement? Can I use the license key that I had from version 3.0 in Creo 4.0 or newer? I saw somewhere Creo versions with numbers M20, M60, I don't know what exactly that means?? I would be grateful for your answer and some tips because I'm really considering buying it 🙂

Hi again, I have sucessfully figured out how to borrow and return Creo licenses. The reason for this is that our VPN from home has been down for over a month. They are switching to another provider and hosing us in the process.  So, when I work from home I can access Windchill via the browser within Creo because we have a common access card to allow access. I am able to see all my work spaces. However, it shows nothing in them. I know there are files in there because I can see them when I look in a regular browser outside of Creo. I am able to search Windchill and open files in common space, which will now be in my work space. So it will show new stuff. I was wondering if anyone knows why all my work spaces appear blank from my borrowed licence scenerio described above. Thanks, WayneF

Hi All, When I try to open a model in Creo 9.0.6.0, it is taking more time to open (About 2 hours). The same model when opened in a different server, is taking less than 10 minutes to open. Can you please suggest what can be checked here? The server where I am facing this issue is a High clock speed server where we would generally expect better performance. ThanksHari
