Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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.

Hi everyone,I am simulating the attached link mechanism (car seat flip-up with leg folding) in Creo MDO.(To get operating torque for seat flip up at each angle) However, the measured motor torque varies significantly depending on the flip-up motor speed and the minimum interval settings. In my current model, I observed the following:  Motor speed: 10 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 to 0.01 Result: Motor torque oscillates significantly. Motor speed: 1 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 or 0.1 Result: Stable torque results. Motor speed: 0.1 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 to 0.01 Result: Simulation fails because the slot connection breaks. Based on these results, it seems that using a slower motor speed and a smaller minimum interval does not always improve simulation stability. Could anyone explain why this behavior occurs and share any recommendations for improving the stability of MDO simulations? Any best practices for selecting motor speed, interval settings, or other solver parameters would be greatly

Hello Creo 12 users,I’ve recently been having a problem with creating curves.When I go to Options for the curves and adjust the points, the curve jumps back to a different shape after I click OK.  It looks as though the points aren’t being saved.I’ve attached a video.Does anyone recognise this problem and have a solution?Thanks and best regards,Ramon Bohne(Siemens Energy)

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0 IFX紧固件选择后，是否可以直接从PLM中调取模型直接进行装配，而不是本地每次参数化生成，导致无法与PLM中的标准件库匹配

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.

Hi Everyone,I'm looking for learning resources on Creo Parametric customization using C++ (Creo TOOLKIT / Creo Object TOOLKIT C++).From what I've researched by looking at job postings and industry discussions, it seems that C++ (Creo TOOLKIT / OTK C++) is still the most widely used technology for advanced Creo customization in many companies, especially for enterprise-level CAD automation and plugin development. If my understanding is incorrect, I'd appreciate any corrections.I'm specifically looking for paid or free online courses, YouTube playlists, Hands-on tutorials, sample projects or GitHub repositories, books or documentation that helped me learn, any training providers you've personally found useful. If you've learned Creo TOOLKIT/OTK C++ or know of any good resources, I'd really appreciate your recommendations.Thanks in advance!

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 

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

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

Why can’t assembly level annotations / notes reference component level feature dimensions using the part's Session ID like you can in 2D Drawings, this functionality works perfectly fine in 2D drawings but does not work in 3D annotations. Example: Calling out a C-Bore depth at the assembly level and using &dxxx:y to reference the depth of the C-Bore that is driven by dimension "xxx" on component with Session ID "y".This is confirmed to not currently be possible see, https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS93719There are several possible work around but being able to reference a component dimension directly is less convoluted and it is already possible in traditional 2D drawing environments. 

Hi everyone,We are currently developing a Creo TOOLKIT-based connector that synchronizes Creo models with an external system.As part of the synchronization workflow, the connector needs to detect changes made to the model (such as newly added parameters or geometry modifications). Before these changes can be synchronized, the model must first be saved so that the latest state is available. To avoid requiring users to manually save after every change, the connector automatically saves the model when necessary.However, we've observed that once the model is saved, the Undo history appears to be cleared. As a result, the user can no longer perform undo operations on the model that were enabled before the save.In some other CAD applications (e.g., Autodesk Inventor), saving the model does not clear the Undo history, allowing users to continue using Undo even after an autosave.I'd like to understand whether this behaviour is expected in Creo.Is it by design that File → Save (or ProMdlSave())

What is the best procedure for using current 2D layouts in Creo? This involves large factory layouts built from multiple ME10 2D parts.

Good afternoon PTC users. We have been viewing this forum and providing individualized feedback to members for some time now. As a degreed ME and former IT Manager of one of the first NT Pro/E installations, I can appreciate the value, first hand, that this forum brings to the user community and do not wish to dilute it in any manner (i.e. we have resisted the urge to throw out blanket advertisements). The reason I am posting this thread is that I have noticed that there have been a lot of basic Windchill admin questions posted that are covered in the "PTC Windchill PDMLink Business Administration Training". This course is typically offered to those who are going to be supporting a Windchill environment. For those of you who have progressed beyond the need for this training, perhaps you have counterparts or other support personnel that could benefit? The material is also applicable to those who may be running Pro/INTRALINK 9.1 as a large part of the course covers the same material.For

I am working on a project where I want the size of the balloons to be reduced to less than the text size or close to the text size. I tried the min_balloon_radius and max_balloon_radius options, but they only allow increasing the balloon size because the minimum value for the balloon radius can only go down to 0, which is the same as the text size. However, I want to reduce the size to less than 0.Is there any option available to reduce the size of the BOM balloon that 0?
