Question

Skeleton Model not Available in Create Component Pop-up

As the title suggests, I do not have the choice of selecting skeletons as an option when creating components in Assembly mode. The selection is there, but it is grayed out and can't be selected. I have looked at all of the config choices and can't find anything I think is relevant. Any ideas?

BTW: This is a brand-new install of Creo 3 Parametric.

Skeletons are part of Advanced Assembly Extension, so if you have this license, you should configure Creo to use it at the startup. To do that you need to go to \Creo 3.0\MXXX\Parametric\bin folder and run reconfigure.exe. When the PTC Installation Assistant window appears click Next until you'll get to Application to Customize section, click Customize button (upper right corner), select Command Configuration tab, click Edit and move licenses (AAX license is called ASSEMBLY, if I'm not mistaken) from the left box (Available Licenses) to right box (Startup extensions and floating options). After that just go back to main window and finish reconfiguration.

Hi,

open your license file in Notepad and look for the following line:

# Optional Modules = ASSEMBLY

If it exists then you own AAX license.

So you are telling me that there is no functionality for skeletons unless you buy the AAX module? Even the educational version of Creo 3 Parametric has skeletons.

Correct.  The educational version includes additional functionality not included in the base package so students can learn more of Creo capabilities.  Once you switch to the commercial side, everything costs extra.

And PTC wonders why Creo sales to users like me are so dismal compared to Solidworks.
