I just installed the latest version of creo and changed the config.pro file at creo>Common Files>text to all the metric. When I open the configuration editor is says its in metric.   But when I open a new part it's imperial by default, why isn't it listening to the config file?

Dear community,   we are connecting our PCs over cisco anyconnect to the licence-server of our university. After starting Creo7 in the virtual machine of parallels with windows10 following notes come up before Creo closes directly: "Licence request failed for future", "AFX could not load", "IFX could not load".   I tried to start Creo with a cisco-vpn-connection to the licence server on: the main machine (macOS), on the virtual machine (win10) and with a connection on both machines. Same result with all options.   Is there somebody who can help in that case?

Can I make a simple to implement suggestion (and it is simple) relating to application icons? Currently when you install Creo the icons for all versions are identical (so the Creo 5 icon is the same as Creo 6 etc). If you have multiple versions installed this can - and does - lead to simple errors opening the wrong version and occasionally results in files being updated to the new version. A very simple solution - which SolidWorks and other use - is to add the version to the Icon. So rather than just a simple box with a blue box, have a box with 6 in it, or 5 -you get the idea. Maybe even change the colours as well? Or just change the icons between versions. Anything is better than the current confusion.

is Creo 3.0 compatible with Windows 10 build 10061?

This is going to be a rather long post, so I’m going to start with the questions I have. Then I’ll get into the issues.   Questions: Are stroked fonts machine readable? It was stated to me by one of my compatriots, that for MBE the stroked fonts were not machine readable for downstream applications. I’m beginning to doubt this because I can export a pdf with Stroked and Searchable text. Also if you look at the stroked_symbol_asme.src file you see that each character has code numbers associated with it. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe codes are only required for special fonts, all the standard keyboard characters don’t have codes. When trying to convert an existing drawing to true type fonts, I can get all the symbols to update to the new font by modifying the parts and assembly files, except for the plus minus symbol. Does anyone have a method to update this symbol on an existing drawing? The strange thing is, If you create a new drawing, then this symbol displays in th

Hello Everybody,   is there currently a known major issue with Creo Parametric Student Edition 4.0 ? The symptom ist, Creo starts but after the first click it freezes and after next click it crashes. (no matter where you click). This happens currently on many private PC's of my students since Friday and since today even two of my PC's are effected.  I also have the educational version installed on one of my computers and this version runs fine. Operating System Win10 20H2, all updates. Tried new installation, cleared the cache, nothing helps...   I dont know how to run the next lecture with this problem.   Any advice? Thanks in Advance   Best Regards Markus

I am using Creo Direct 7.0 7.0.0.0Unable to install / upgrade CREO license

I currently have Creo 7.0.2.0 installed. When trying to run Creo I'll get this error "License request failed for feature" (See image below for reference). Has anyone else had this issue? I have Creo 7.0.0.0 installed before but uninstalled it then reinstalled the new version. If someone could help me resolve this issue that would be great. Please let me know if you need more information.     

Hi all, I work in a company with about 15 licenses of Creo 1.0. Since now, we have been working with windows 7 workstations, but we are upgrading some machines to windows 10 and we have some performance troubles when working with Creo. Particullary I advise a big slowdown when mounting big assemblies or trying to explode assembies. I have tried to do the some operation on different machines with different hardware and OS and I have noticed that on Win 10, it takes 3 or 4 times more than in Win 7, even with much better hardware on the win 10 machines. I know that Creo 1.0 is a very old version, but due to licensing issues the company can't afford updating the software. Anyone knows why is this happening? Is possible to configure something to avoid this troubles? anyone has the some trouble? Thanks in advance!

Hello    I have currently install flexlm 11.16.2.1 in our windows server 2012.    Everything is working perfectly fine when i start Creo 6 and it can pick up the licenses i have and i can do my work.    However, when i start CREO 4 i am getting this error.   This only happen to CREO 4 but other than that, everything i working accordingly.   any tips that can help me solve this issue?    Thank you in advance    //Joey

Sometime recently, maybe a week or 2 ago, Creo 4 (M130) started taking a long time for the file open dialog box to come up. I've timed it, turns out its about a minute, plus/minus a few seconds. I had been ignoring the problem thinking it was a large workspace issue until I got fed up with it this morning and started troubleshooting the issue. So far I have: deleted my PDMLink workspaces and deleted the .wf file...didn't improve performance Made a workspace with only one item ...didn't improve performance Went offline from pdmlink...didn't improve performance cleaned out my working directory ...didn't improve performance check hard drive space (250 gb available on a 500gb drive ...didn't improve performance removed all my config.pro/config.sup files from loading...didn't improve performance compared my server ping speed to another user without issue with seemingly identical results (+/- a millisecond) checked my std.out file and cleaned up all the errors in there (config.pro erro

I am using Creo Parametric 3.0 M150I would like to understand the meaning of the Creo Feature configuration in the attached license file ("lm_101075560.txt").All users are using the same version of Creo: Creo 3 M150.The "LicenseSaturation.pdf" file shows the usage of the Feature and you can see that some Features are saturated.I'll show you my questions.1. What are the basic features that allow you to use Creo? Maybe they are PROE_EngineerIIAAX and PROE_EngineerIII?2. What are the Creo conditions use that require the most commonly used features?Feature 48: WiringFeature 231: Advanced FrameworkFeature 282: Legacy Data Migration3. What is the relationship between the use of PROE_EngineerIII-PROE_EngineerIIAAX and the use of 48-231-282?4. Is it possible to convert the Feature PROE_EngineerIIAAX (little used) to Feature PROE_EngineerIII (widely used)?Thanks.PS: sorry for my English. I prefer speak in italian or write in italian or english

I have been able to download and run Creo 3.0 and 4.0 without a problem, but when I try to download and boot creo 6.0 a message pops up saying "license request failed for feature" I attached a screenshot of what I see on bootup: any tips?      

Hey all   with most of us working from home these days, we find it a pain to have to VPN onto our server just to get a license - our files are stored in the cloud...  Does PTC offer a service or can we install our subscrition licenses on a cloud server?    Thanks     

We are rolling out Creo 7 in a couple of weeks and I am wondering if anyone else has come across any bugs while testing. Ones I have found so far (7.0.2.0):   1. Assembly axial grouped patterns don't update upon regen if the parent axis moves. If you perform an edit definition the pattern updates correctly.   2. Tables saved as text files no longer have iteration numbers (.1, .2) although system log files and other saved text files do.   3. MP_Source was removed from the mass report when    mp_calc_level all_models   is set   4. Various model annotations get dropped when exporting to step and then reimporting into Creo. Some of these are a result of Creo supporting flat to screen for annotations but the step format not (although you would think that if you are writing them out you could import them back in with the same software). Others, I think are just bugs. SPRs have been opened.

I wanted to reach out to the community to ask if anyone has information they can share on how long a designer takes to create a CAD model and the CAD Drawing. I know this is a loaded question with many variables; complexity, quality and experience of designer....and so on. Lets level set to average all across the board.   I can develop an internal questionnaire with my business and come up with numbers as well but wanted to get  more of a industry standard number from the community and ask if anyone has already done such a study.   Thanks in advance for any information you may have and willing to share in this thread.

Hello,   I have DXF file that always crashes my system when trying to import it.  I can get past the "Import New Model" dialogue and the "Import DXF" dialogue only to have the system register a fatal error.  It states "Memory Error" in the status bar and then yields a Fatal Error box pops up.  This is a machine with 64GB of ram so I find it really hard to believe that I am actually running out of memory...   If I try to import the same file on a colleagues computer it has no problem importing the file...   Any suggestions on how to fix this issue or where to start looking are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
