I created the assembly and parts using creo parametric student version. When I open and press the edit button for hatch. It gives an error which I attach as a screenshot and then the creo crashes closing all the windows. Previously I was able to edit from assembly or part 3d model enivrment. The first time I got this error when I tried to edit the hatch in the drawing environment and after then I am not able to edit it in either the environments.This appears from pressing the hatch edit button from the design tree in the sections part. Thank you for your help in advance. Regards

Hello everybody I just installed Creo 9.0 on my computer. The installation didn't end well since I have a message saying the installation of virtual c++ redistribuables failed.I could not find the reason why.So I installed directly the visual ++ package, from Microsoft site, and it wen't well.But as I try to launch Creo 9 parametrics 9.0.0.0, with the shortcut that appeared on my desktop, the hourglass briefly changes and return to its normal aspect, and nothing happens : Creo won't start.Could anyone tell me if you see any solution, or even a log file to look into to understand what happens ?Many thanks in advance for your help. 

Currently on Creo 10, but I think the question applies to many versions. I want to Creo to execute a script file near the beginning of the mapkey.  I can make it work at the end.  (The case below is just an example,) I can make it work at the end.mapkey w1 @MAPKEY_NAMEChange display to creo Colors;\mapkey(continued) @MAPKEY_LABELChange to Creo Colors;~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;~ Command `ProCmdRibbonOptionsDlg` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `ribbon_options_dialog` `PageSwitcherPageList` 1 `colors_layouts`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Open `ribbon_options_dialog` `colors_layouts.Color_scheme_optMenu`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Close `ribbon_options_dialog` `colors_layouts.Color_scheme_optMenu`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Select `ribbon_options_dialog` `colors_layouts.Color_scheme_optMenu` 1 `1`;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `ribbon_options_dialog` `OkPshBtn`;\mapkey(continued) @SYSTEMC:\\TEMP\\test.bat; But I would like t

I've created several mapkeys lately so I thought I'd share some general tips I learned to write it down for next time. Please share your own tips below to expand the collection. This was done on Creo 3 M060 but the ideas should hopefully be not specific to that.Mapkey Writing/Editing TipsGeneral Tips:Mapkeys often break when upgrading between Creo Versions (Creo 3 vs Creo 1) but they can save you a lot of time in the year or two between versions.Open the mapkey menu by searching for Mapkeys in the upper right. Also, if someone knows how find the Mapkey menu behind when its behind other Creo Windows, please share.           Record commands from the RMB or the Quick Access Toolbar to eliminate extra Mapkey lines that just moves around Creo for no reason. Most commands can be launched without being on a specific interface tab.Mapkeys skip any commands they cannot execute. This lets users add in some logic to close menus that sometime popup or d

Martin,   I am trying to setup IFX on a network.  I believe I have everything setup correctly but get a similar error to the one above.  Using your solution and running IFX through the creo load point, everything works fine just like in this post.  The problem I have is when I point the IFX configuration PATH_ABS_LIBRARY to my network location I get the hole_com.cpp error.  Can you help with this?

Trying to get Creo View 11.0 to publish on our Windchill server. Proeworker will not start automatically, but that is minor as I start it manually and then disconnect from the server. The real issue is the 'generated' PDF and thumbnail are blank and the worker log says they were not generated, even though WVS Monitor says Job Successful. Checked the error in the worker log and it points to Article - CS161913 - Creo View Adapters: Failed to generate drawing output in PDF format when publishing a Creo Parametric drawing file Removed Creo and Creo View and reinstalled on Friday. Ran the recipe editor and set it up for PDF. Still fails to publish. Ran Proepublish per the CS article and it generates the PDF in the CVA setup folder. This is a Windchill 13.0.2.3 installation with Creo 11.0.3.0 and CVA 11.0.0.0. I have Windchill 13.0.2.3 running with Creo 9.0.9.0 and CVA (.0 on another machine just fine. These 2 machines are not connected. Anyone have any ideas before I open a call with P

I'm setting up a startup that is for editing the user .ui file from the working directory of Creo. After the user exits Creo, I want to copy that .ui file to a different location. I'm trying to use the pro_wait option to do this. My command to start Creo looks like this:rem ** Start Creostart "PF" "%CreoPath%\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe" pro_wait "P:\Shared drives\CreoWorkspace\scripts\startup\%CREOSHORTVER%\move_users_ui.bat" It starts up Creo with only one .ui file read, so I can ensure they are only editing their personal .ui. However after the user exits Creo it's not running the batch file to move the .ui file. Is there something wrong with my syntax above???? I've verified in a command prompt that the batch file works with the variables: What I typed is underlined.C:\Users\Dell>cd C:\Users\Dell\pro\Creo_10_HomeC:\Users\Dell\pro\Creo_10_Home>call "P:\Shared drives\CreoWorkspace\scripts\startup\c10\CreoVersionBuild.bat"C:\Users\Dell\pro\Creo_10_Home>"

Hello,   I have installed Creo Parametric 11.0 on my laptop (RTX4060 and  intel i5). now when I open the program I just see a black screen. I have already done an update of my graphic card driver, but that did not help. If anyone knows how to resolve this issue, I would be glad if you could let me know. 

CREO Version - 8.0.9.0I have reconfigured CREO with Floating license but getting error as shown in attached picture. 

I have a question regarding the compatibility of our Expert Moldbase Extension (EMX) license with Creo 11.0. Currently, our EMX license details are as follows:Feature Name: 192Feature Version: 40.0Expiration Date: 01-Apr-2026From my understanding, Creo 11.0 requires EMX 17.0, but our license seems to be associated with an older version (possibly EMX 15.0, which matches Creo 9.0).I would like to confirm:Does Feature Version 40.0 correspond to EMX 15.0, making it only compatible with Creo 9.0?Is there any way to use this EMX license with Creo 11.0, or is an upgrade required?If an upgrade is needed, what is the recommended process for acquiring an EMX 17.0 license?For a newly purchased EMX license, does it have to be downgraded by two levels to match our current license?I appreciate your guidance on this matter. Looking forward to your response. Best regards,Lan

We have some models that are Creo 10 and some are Creo 9. We are working with another company that can open Creo 9 models and not Creo 10. Is there a way i can save Creo 10 models to Creo 9 without losing features and Metadata?  

Hello I ran the setup.exe file and i get this error message: V:\pim\x86e_win64|installmgr.dll is either not designed to run or Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000020 Does the setup has to be installed in the desktop as opposed to a mount drive?  I am not sure if is the dll file itself or my Windows 11 (i do have window universal c runtime as MS visual c++ Redistributable).  I read somewhere here to download the dll file for creo 2.0 but i havent seen one for creo 10. I am still on the fence if it could be something else thanks 

Hi All, My PTC supplier adviced me to reinstall Creo and update to a newer version to get rid of another issue.I used to work with 8.0.4.0 and now I'm on 8.0.12.0, the previous issue is gone but now I got an even worse issue back!In this new version I can't get mechanism constraints to work. No matter what I do I'm not able to finish the constraint since it keeps saying "Connection definition is incomplete".Normally when I make a simple "Pin connection" I select an axis or round surface to align, then two surfaces to determine the rranslation and when this is done a new definition set appears to define the rotation. Now it will never show this rotation definition and I can't finish the constraint either. Any idea what this could be? Can it be a setting somewhere or is it a bug in the software? Thanks in advance!

I was modifying the creo_parametric_admin_customization.ui in Creo 10. This .ui file gets put in the users loadpoint via our Creo startup scripts. I didn't realize that the .ui file contained the windows scale.  We can restore the old .ui file, but I would like the .ui file to not contain anything but the ribbon customizations. Is there a way to do that?

Hi @MartinHanak  How are you ?  With reference to topic Do you know which config caused the drag and drop issue ?  I have similar issue for a customer using CREO 10    Cheers

I'm installing CREO 10.0.6.0 to use CREO Anysys Simulation, when I start it gives a flexnet version error, I've tried all possible versions and I can't get it to work, the license is for CREO 11, as shown in the print

Hi all.  I know this has been covered before but nothing I've read has helped me. Creo 9.0.4.0, Workgroup Manager 12.1.2.1, Windows 11 I login to either Creo or WGM and enter my credentials and select "remember me".I check windows credentials manager and the password is in there but the username is blank so I fill in the username.I login again to Creo or WGM and the password is correct but the username is my windows login.  (Domain/user)I check windows credentials manager and the username is blank again I've checked Chrome and Edge and there are no passwords saved.  I have to switch between Creo and WGM several times a day so this adds up to a significant amount of time! Any advice?  Thanks in advace!Brad  

I'm curious if the ModelCHECK Teacher function is working in current versions of Creo Parametric (8 and 9).    If so, is anyone willing to share some success stories with the tool?   I was thinking about using the Teacher function by customizing the web pages to point to internal command media and relevant training resources.   But I'm having a hard time even confirming the tool is working in the stock configuration.  Its possible we have an option miss configured.   https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r10.0/usascii/index.html#page/model_analysis/modelcheck/add_info.html#   If I click on the error notification, ModelCheck appears to try to open an information pane, but its just a blank box with an "X"   Best Regards, Nick

During the deployment of a new computer we frequently see the user's Creo Parametric workspace cache copied from the old computer to the new computer. This typically causes the user's new installation on the new computer to crash during launch. The solution to the crash issue is to remove or rename the old cache folder. Not a huge problem. Just a nuisance that results in lost productivity. Do other companies see this issue? If so, what do you do to avoid this situation? Does anyone know why the cache can't be copied over to a new system?
