Hello Team,-Creo 9 with Windchill.I'm looking to create a mapkey to quickly open a drawing of a room that's already open.I've done a lot of research and i can never find a working solution. please don't redirect me to an alternative solution.I know that a part can have several drawings or be included in other drawings. However, in my case, 90% of the parts created have only one drawing, which has exactly the same name as the part, with .drw instead of .prt.I've created a relationship: DRAWING = PART_ID+ ".DRW".I now have a parameter with the right value.Since copy and paste doesn't work in mapkey commands, is there a line of OS script code that you could put in a mapkey to say, open "parametre drawing"?I work in a company that doesn't allow third-party applications to be installed.Thank in advance.

Hello! I’m trying to make a simple cable harness 2 wires going from connector 1 to connector 2.There are 2 coordinate systems in each connector that I have made.On my drawing i’m trying to use repeat regions to display which port in the connector each wire should connect to. However no pin no. gets displayed, it doesn’t matter if I select the repeat region to be driven by the assembly or the connector part.I’m using &harn.run.cond.from.pin.entry_port and have tried a bunch of others but it remains blank regardless.I have tried creating Terminators inside the assembly but am unable to do anything besides create it? No editing or anything seems to be possible. I read some other posts where they supposedly add cabling parameters somehow? I don’t see how to do it.Any help to display pins on the drawing would be greatly appreciated!

Hello folks,   a colleague asked me if I knew a way to copy the name of a selected model tree element to the clipboard.Since I could not find an out-of-the-box solution, I developed a small tool for this purpose myself:"Copy Model Tree Element Name To Clipboard"Maybe someone else would like to use the tool.

We have observed that AI generates better PlantUML diagrams compared to draw.io XML. The latest versions of draw.io appear to include PlantUML support; however, this option is not available in the draw.io instance embedded within Codebeamer.Is it possible to enable PlantUML support in the Codebeamer draw.io integration? If so, could you please share the expected timeline for making this feature available?

Just updated to CREO 12.4.3.0 and now rename_drawings_with_object is not working.  When someone does “replace by new copy” in assembly mode, the drawing is not copied.  It worked fine in previous version.  

Hi, In Creo 3 I was able to add a dimension to a 2d drawing and while the dimension was still highlighted red...I could change the font, color and size.  We then jumped to Creo 7, and it seems this no longer works. We are now on Creo 11, and it still doesn't work. I can change the font, and the size..but color does not stick if I just created the dimension. If the dimension is already existing, and i click on it….. i can change the color.  I want to change the color on the fly. I am trying to create a mapkey to do this, but i cannot get this color to change if I try to run the mapkey on the fly, after creating the dimension. (with the dimension still highlighted) If I run it on an already existing dimension, it works fine.What am i doing wrong? see recording   

Hello!I have a solid STEP file created by my supplier, that when imported into CREO is giving many errors like bad double-sided edges, solid node with open quilts etc etc. This causes the model to have quilts instead of one solid body.Depending in the import profile setting that I use I manage to get more or less errors, but almost never few enough to make it worth trying to repair the model. I feel like I have tried changing all relevant options in the import profile, but no combination seems to work.   The supplier has tried to send the model in different formats with different settings too, like STEP, x_t, x_p, exporting to prt.  Does anyone in this community have some good tips, or knowledge with Solidwors → Creo file sharing.(Unfortunately the model is under NDA so i cannot share it.) Thankful for any input you might have./David

After a Wibdows 11 update some weeks ago, Microsoft Edge version 150 closes a few seconds after it is opened. This is not a problem for me normaly because I prefer to use Google Chrome. However Mathcad Prime seems to insist on using Edge.I have set Chrome as the default browser and then installed Prime 12.0.0.1 even though I use English as the Prime language. Still no good.Does anyone know how to get Mathcad Prime to use Chrome?Thanks for your help.

Hello everybodyIt seems that the limit to constraint a conic arc is 4 points. I picked the start and end point and lay the arc as close to the 5 sketch points. Then i apply the constraints but it wont let me pick more than 4 unless i start making other dimensions References  like the Rho, etc.any ideas. i need to keep the Radius (Rh), so a Spline feature will not work and neither a Curve by points. i guess i can go back to Manufacturing and delete the rest of the sketcher points. thanks

hello in Creo volume profile milling: why the step depth is not constant on radius profile like staight wall.please advice. also same problem in profile milling if use ball nose step depth not constant but if use endmill with scallop height then step depth change as per profile regardsAsif

Hi guys,I’m working in Creo 12 and I do have some tables and BOM tables, and I'd like to change their anchor point. By that, I mean the position of the mouse cursor when I place them using "Table from File". I like to have it in the complete right bottom.I've already tried changing the growth direction, but unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem.Any ideas on how this can be changed? Growth direction of the table via “properties”Location of the cursor when adding table from fileWhat I also have tried to do, is:first create a table with only one cell change the growth direction to the right bottom corner   A table with only one cell and the direction from the right bottom corner add some columns on the left and a row on the top   Adding columns on the left of the first cell save the table when I add the table via “Table from file”, the corsor is at the top left corner of the first cell: Location where the cursor is when adding this table (started with only one cell)  So this wasn’t

Hello, I have a drawing .drw in which I have to upload a .jpg image, then I have to export it in .dwg and send it to another person. This person can not see the image in the .dwg because he doesn’t have the original image.Is there a way to share the .dwg containing the image without sending also the .jpg to the other person?I would like to incorporate the .jpg in the .drw and not to upload it as a xreference.ps. I’ve already activated the save_texture_with_model options in config but it doesn’t workThank you for help, I look forward to your answersBest regards

I own a perpetual Mathcad 14.0 M020 Single User license purchased directly from PTC. The legacy MCLicense.exe utility authenticates to my PTC account, but the activation request fails with HTTP 403 Forbidden before a license.dat is generated. Since license.dat is never created, Mathcad reports that C:\Program Files (x86)\Mathcad 14\licenses\license.dat does not exist. Can someone generate a replacement license.dat or License Pack manually?My old PC crashed so I am unable to locate the old file.

I have an existing permanent node-locked educational license for Mathcad 15 and am moving Mathcad from my old computer to a new Windows 11 computer. I still have the original product code and existing license file. Mathcad 15 is installed and running to the point where it requests licensing. The Mathcad Single User/Student Get License page accepts my product code but redirects me to License Management, where my PTC account reports insufficient privileges. The Single User/Student Log Case option also does not proceed. I need assistance re-hosting my existing permanent Mathcad 15 license to the new computer and obtaining a replacement license file for the new Host ID. I can provide the old and new Host IDs, product code, and existing license file privately if required.

HiI have a parabola and *n* circles that need to be plotted simultaneously.The idea is that the value of *n* can be changed, and the plot updates automatically without me having to manually add plots.I have managed to plot the circles individually as upper and lower segments—this works fine, provided I can set up the indexing so that it plots all of them automatically.Additionally, I would like to plot the tangent slopes at the intersection points of the parabola and the circles—I have already calculated these—is this possible? My current go to- where i need to ajust number og circles as the number of piles change: Hope someone can helpBest regreads
