Creo Elements/Direct Ideas

The check-in functionality from CED to WorkgroupManager should be extended so that it will be possible to select a checked-in assembly and all checked-out and changed children can be checked in without the need for individual selection.   ... View more

It should be possible to switch of warnings "Data will be loaded as a new drawing. Please confirm to continue" when load a drawing from Windchill Workgroup Manager to Creo Elements/Direct Modeling. It is possible to switch of this warning with CED Model Manager using the command (setf modelmanager::*db-load-2d-enable-warning* :off).   At the moment it is not possible to have any automation with a drawing when a user have to agree this dialog manually. ...

Structure Browser in modeling supports customizations about Browser Views (with command sd-create-browser-view), you can add your views with your columns (sd-create-column-definition). You can define view and edit functions for each column (display-fnc and edit-fnc) but you can't define constraints about values inserted, like a drop-down list. I need it.   The same feature is naturally present in Creo Parametric (with restricted_val_definition): I've just tried to ask it in a ptc case 13980076 with this response:   I spoke with my colleague and he is also the opinion that this is not possible with IKIT. I think you know where to find the complete documentation of IKIT. Please see following article. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS118457 If you want you can submit a product idea.

When we use "Sel unshare" command to create a Selective instance the panel asks 3 field: 1) Source 2) Name 3) Context   It would be useful an Icon to see the choosen context in the model tree to undestand in Which level the change was made.   For example: we used "MRID..." for source and "Comodo" for context but we can't see it. I can see the "unshare" icon for source and parents of source that are childrens of context (then "MRID..." and "Albero") . Windchill saves the change on the first parent of the context ("Reggiatrice"). We have to know that the "context" is the first level parent of an "unshare icon" and that the change is active only on the parent of the "context". It's very confusing.   Thanks Nicola     ...

Can "Clip Planes" be used to view internal surfaces (not inside the material - just an internal surface i.e. a cavity in a body)?   If not, would this be a feasible "Product Idea"? ... View more
