Creo Illustrate - different Csys than in Creo Parametric.

Creo Illustrate - different Csys than in Creo Parametric.

Hi everyone!

I have created a model in Creo Parametric 4 for a AR purposes. I wanted to create animations in Creo Illustrate 8.1 but when I select "Transform" I cannot select the original Csys from Creo Parametric, only this one created by Illustrate itself. Can someone explain how can I change that? Is there an option to select when importing model to Illustrate?

Have you checked that all your construction geometry is visible:

If it is then I think you'll have to look at your recipe file for generating the pvz from Creo, as it looks like it's stripping too much out.

Hi,

 

You can reposition the csys using the 'Select CSYS' option in the RMB menu.

This will allow you to align select a centre line or other axis to position the csys on.

 

Depending on what exactly you wanted to animate this may help.

Hey,

Thank you for a quick reply, I've already tried this option but it does not work in this case. I have a sphere where I can't select any axis, center line or edge to create csys 😞

Thank you Agarland, you really helped me! I was always using .asm files from Creo Parametric, never thought about saving as .pvz file to use in Creo Illustrate. Turns out that when I am using .asm file Creo Illustrate cannot show me middle point of this sphere:

Now it works perfectly 🙂
