Our new Creo Community Challenge focuses on two powerful tools that are already included with your base Creo installation: the Advanced Framework Extension (AFX) and the Intelligent Fastener Extension (IFX). What the Challenge Is AboutAFX (Advanced Framework Extension) helps you quickly design structural frameworks using standard steel and aluminum profiles. It simplifies the creation of frames, supports, and welded assemblies, and makes it easy to modify your design as it develops. IFX (Intelligent Fastener Extension) lets you insert industry-standard fasteners such as bolts, nuts, washers, and screws, with automatic hole creation and intelligent placement. It ensures that your fasteners fit correctly and that your assemblies look realistic and complete. The challenge is to combine AFX and IFX to design something practical, creative, or just plain fun. The goal is to show how these two extensions can work together to build realistic structural assemblies with automated intelligence. C

PTC is hosting a webinar in early September about using templates in PTC Mathcad Prime. We want to promote how thoughtful template use saves users time and are great for efficiency. We’ll be going into quite a bit more detail than the basics of putting your company logo in the header. While our internal PTC expert presenters will present great insight, you may also have great use cases or experiences that we haven’t even thought of that all Mathcad users could be inspired by!In this thread, please share or describe your Mathcad Prime templates and how they help you: be it function libraries that you regularly reuse, or sophisticated set-ups for accelerating the creation of client reports. (Note: This is a public forum; please don’t share your confidential or critical intellectual property. I may also collate your responses and share them in a PTC.com blog at a later time so everyone can benefit from best practices!)
This month’s challenge is about tautochrone curves and isochronous curves. They are very similar. Both involve placing an object on the curve and allowing it to slide without friction. With a tautochrone, an object placed at any point on the curve will take the same time to slide to the bottom. With isochronous curves, objects allowed to slide from any part of the curve will have the same period of oscillation. You can think of the tautochrone as “half” of the isochronous curve, as it is only concerned with how long it takes the object to reach the bottom.In this scenario, the “top” of the tautochrone curve is at a height of 10 meters on the left side. The end point is at ( 0, 0 ). (The “top” of the isochronous curve on the other side is 10 meters on the right side.) Design a curve such that an object placed at any point on the curve will take the same time to slide without friction to the end point under the effect of uniform gravity. Examples of three possible solutions from Creo 13.

Hello everyone,I’m facing a problem yet again: I have modelled a door system in Creo Parametric, consisting of a door frame and a door leaf. The dimensions for the frame and the door leaf are specified in the assembly’s relationships. To make the assembly easier to use, I now wanted to define it as a family table, so that I have individual assemblies for specific assembly scenarios and can work with them. However, the individual parts do not change when I alter the instance’s parameters.The background is as follows: I would like to be able to insert any adjustments to the relationship logic just once, rather than having to insert them multiple times, as would be the case with copied components.So the situation is that I currently have one System.asm consisting of a frame.prt and leaf.prt. I now want multiple instances for the system.asm for various mounting situations of additional parts without copying the system.asm.Do you understand my problem and could you perhaps help me out? Mayb
Hello all,Is there by any change a way to select all the bodies in one selection in an assembly after a query by Bodies, without selecting every single body?Open an assembly ; Queries by Type = BodiesAll the bodies are filtered (in green)Now, I want to select all bodies without selecting them induvidually. Is it possible?Thank you

I use creo 10 but I also tested on Creo+ (13).I asked recently, “Why does axis pattern show 2 “direction” dimensions when I only have one direction?” I had noticed this but never really asked. I don’t remember it doing this in creo 6 or 4 and before, not sure which
the image is related. whenever i try to open the file it shows this blank screen. I’m new to creo student edition and don’t know much. I was previously an onshape user. i had made backups and made sure to save it a couple of times before closing. The random save i did while sketching is visible for some reason but none of my extrusions are visible.i scanned all my pc’s recent files to see if i had accidently saved it somewhere else too but its to no luck. The sketch from the above mentioned case is not fully visible too.
Hello!We have 2 users with 2 different computers reporting the same issue with their prime files.I don’t know if it has something to do with the latest august Windows 11 Cumulative update (KB5121003)?The issue started happening yesterday after the users updated their Windows 11.When we try to Save as PDF or use the Print function we get the same errors. And we have tried several PDF printers. It only creates a .PDF file with 0kb in size. I uploaded 2 files that we are experiencing this issue with.

A preview of something that is being tested within CREOSON, looking for feedback and ideas.Keep these questions in mind as you read:Do I (or my company) care about my data going to someone else’s AI / Cloud? What use cases, processes, interfaces cause pain today? How could this change my day? Why do I care?The intent is to provide a FREE AI MCP (Model Context Protocol) interface within CREOSON that enables your AI Agents to connect to and drive Creo Parametric either as a specific set of contextual tasks - or within the context of other systems/environment workflows (e.g. YOUR models, standards, documents, EPR, PLM, etc.). Seems like this would be super powerful, and provide a lot of utility. This screen capture is an example of an AI Agent validating a connection to a new CREOSON MCP Endpoint (prototype currently).

Hello I have a reference pattern created from geometry present in another part in assembly. Referenced pattern does not get updated automatically, when I update my parent/main feature. What could be the main reason refernce pattern does not get updated automatically when refernce with external geometry. I have also checked the update control is set to automatically . TIA
I have a user how is simply trying to save a shrinkwrap on a simple part, but when he goes to Save As, before he gets anywhere his Creo 10 is freezing and generates an error as follows:The defined Environment file for the model scene is missing and will be replaced with the Creo Default Environment file. You can update the scene by selecting the desired Environment file from the Scene Editor under the View Tab.I can’t seem to find any info on this. He’s not in render mode or anything like that. There is nothing special about what he is doing. Seems like it is now all files, so its “environment related, not a specific part/assy issue. I tried with the part on my computer and it works as expected.

My Company recently ungraded to Cero 12 from 8. There are a few changes made to the whole cabling side of Cero. I have been able to work through most of it but now trying to add the terminal information has been tricky/I can’t get it to work.In the past we have added in the terminal table to get all that information and eventually use it when making the drawing in the to-from table. We also have another smaller table with some of the same info for each connector.To make the BOM accurate we make blank parts with the part numbers of terminals, locks, and seals and place them in the assembly so the table is accurate.So far I’ve tried making new terminals which just throws the “name already exists” error and when I try and import them from the old trm files the same thing happens. I would assume this is because there are part files that already exist and not from the trm files. If anyone has a solution or work around that would be much appreciated.
I am using Creo Schematics Release 12.0 and Datecode12.0.0.0 Hello Sir/Ma'am, I am giving a Demo for Creo Schematics and I came across one doubt. Is it possible to route a wire between a component in one sheet to another component placed in another sheet? If yes do let me know, how can we do it and what are the parameters, we should take care of for doing it? Thank you, Regards, Amrut Dalvi Cadopt Technologies Pvt. Ltd Here are the errors that I faced NA
Hello Creo API team,We are building a Creo Plugin . We already have tessellation data in memory:Vertex coordinates (x, y, z) Triangle connectivity (facet index list) Optional normalsCan we create faceted/mesh geometry in a Creo part from this data programmatically (no UI)?Specifically: Is there a public ProToolkit API to create mesh geometry directly from in-memory vertex + triangle buffers (similar to passing a vertex buffer and index buffer)?If not, what is the recommended approach Environment: Creo 11.x, ProToolkit C++, Windows x64.Thank you.
Hello, I am looking for a fast way to exclude items inside a pattern or group. This would be applicable for simplified reps or shrinkwraps. When you create one of these two, Creo opens a separate window that allows you to pick items to exclude. However, if there is a pattern or group you have to expand all the way down to the part level and shift+select all the parts to exclude them. This is the case even in the model tree when the rep is active. Is there an easier way to exclude all parts under an assembly or group?

I have two calculation sheets: One is L55-529.7255, and the second one is L55-538.6610. I need to import the functions E529 and U1 into the L-55-538.6610.And the values of E529 and U1 are added to E538 and U2. All the functions are defined with matrix notation. But when I apply the command “Include” the function E529 is ok in the sum, but U1, it says “this variable is undefined. Check that the label is set correctly”. But if you escrow down to the last sheet in the file L55-529.7255, you can see that there are no errors and that I am able to sum E529+U1.I tried in the opposite way, importing L-55-538.6610, using “Include” into L55-529.7255 and I have the exact same error. But I cannot find what the problem is with the U1 function when this is imported in L-55-538.6610 and U2 when this is imported into L55-529.7255. I am including the two files. The functions U1 and U2 are defined in the before last page, and all the sums are completed in the last page. The majority of the calculations
I am still using the old Mathcad 11.2, despite the difficulties with the new OSes. I asked to ChatGPT for help, but I did not get any solution. I wrote (see picture) two equations, and I asked to solve for variables p and w symbolically. Afterwards - and only afterwards - however I would like to capture the symbolic solution (in this case of variable w) and turn some symbols into numeric values and make relations with just few variables like w vs. r, so to obtain a function like w(r):= etc., that I can plot it.As can be seen from the screenshot, however, MC11.2 appears unable to assign some variables the specified values. ChatGPT suggested defining a new variable and then “optimizing” it, which I tried using wR(r):= ..., but that approach did not work either.Of course, one could simply copy and paste the solution returned by find; however, I am curious to know whether there is a way to achieve the same result avoiding such a manual intervention.Thanks in advance for any suggestions or
