Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I make a hole and create Geometric Tolerance in model, such as 3/8-16 UNC -2B TAP THRU 5/16 DRILL (0.257) .0750 - (1) HOLE. I only can put GTOL as a free note in drawing as shown belowIs there a method to place to a hole note directly?Thanks,

Hello, I have random lines on my part and don't know how to hide them. These lines are the exact ones that show when saving an STL file. Does someone know how I can get rid of them?

I created this desktop application for managing IFX fastener catalogs. Create new catalogs, add fasteners from templates, and append data rows to existing fastener files. You can also import premade fastener catalogs from McMaster Carr.Compatible with Creo 6 or later.https://github.com/mbourque/ifx_customizer  

Hello,Like it says in the title, while placing/replacing a component inside the assembly, the 3D display dragger is not shown despite the fact that the option to show the dragger is selected. Does anyone know what could be the issue. This problem occured when I tried opening the separate component display window. 

We are using Creo parametric 8.0.8.0. The model of laptop has changed to Dell Pro Max16.There are a lot of unknown issues during Creo operations like sudden shut-down of Creo, taking too long to open assemblies compare to old laptops and so on.Dell Pro Max16 is on Creo parametric PTC Creo 10.0 Hardware Support Dell while it is not on PTC Creo 8.0 Hardware Support Dell. Would there be any potential solutions for this?

Hello, I would like to ask if there is any way how to find out in which assemblies is used one particular part. We have a large folder with several similar assemblies. Then there are two versions of similar part, for example. If I open all the assemblies at first, so they are loaded in session memory, I can use reference viewer to find out where is this particular part used. But is there any way how to do this without opening a large number of assemblies? Hope my question is understandable, thanks for replies.

 Hello,I am trying to simulate a press-fit snap feature for validation, however when I run the simulation I get the error “Run completed with fatal error”.Following parameters are set:Mesh:Component-component interface (contact), assumed 0 friction (also attempted surface-surface contact with 0.2 COF) Mesh on both parts with 1mm localized elements on snap-features (tetrahedral)Constraints:Prescribed 3mm movement in +Z direction on Part A (to push part A onto part B), fixed in X and Y direction Part B constrained in XYZ directionMaterial Assignments:“Part A” Full-hard stainless steel “Part B” Xantar 22R (PC)Analysis Settings:   Section view of snap fit Can anyone assist? Many thanks.

Hi,Can someone help me with this query related to sheetmetal nesting in Creo. Can we add the 3D sheetmetal model directly to nesting software i.e NC sheetmetal extension & get the setup made automatically? If so please let me know the procedure.Thanks in AdvanceNaresh

Hi,Can someone provide a detail information on how J-link works in creating the BOM for Creo drawings? what are the pre-requisites like license is needed? how to install or configure? etc.Thanks in advanceNaresh

I want to know which axis this part can move towards after I cooperate with the constraints. Can this be obtained 

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

Hi,Would anyone know how to prevent Creo 10 from creating cap surfaces for tapped holes while using the Creo Parametric Hole feature?The surface shown in the image below is not the side wall of the thread but a cap surface at the top of the thread.  This makes you have to query select the hole which is an extra step when assembling parts to the tapped hole at the top-level assembly.Thanks for any help you can provide,Don A  

Is there a way in Creo Parametric to adjust splines with drag handles, like in Solidworks?I am trying to replicate a part from Solidworks, but I cant get the splines to behave just like in the Solidworks part. I’ve noticed that in the Solidworks feature the splines have ben drawn by draging the lines to the desired position. 

When going to a part, right mouse click > Compare to Part structure, Compare to CAD structure.I'm missing the expand all button, how and where can i enable this button. Documentation says it should be there, i suspect it's been disabled in the past due to performance considerations. Can anyone confirm:1- Does this window have an expand all button,  Compare to Part structure, Compare to CAD structure.2- Where can i find the config settings to change this? Thanks. 

Hello,Yesterday I upgraded from Creo 9.0.8.0 to Creo 12.4.3.0 and noticed an annoyance with the “Open File” and “Assemble Component” commands.The problem is that Creo 12, unlike Creo 9, keeps the last selected setting in the filter “Type”. In Creo 9, however, the default value would be a generic setting (e.g. *.prt, *.asm, .....).My question is: is there a way to restore this behavior so that it works like in Creo 9?I tried searching for a setting in the configuration but couldn't find anything.The only workaround I can think of is to create a set of macros to open and assemble the ones that preset the generic filter (*.prt, *.asm, etc.).Does anyone know of a solution or have noticed the same problem?Thank you

I am trying to create a flushed flange which goes around the boundary of a sheet metal part. When I try doing this with the flushed flange feature I run into a feature failed to regenerate error. I have tried the one by one standard chain, rule based partial loop/complete loop chains but nothing seems to work. Attached is the part I am trying to work on with the 8.4mm flushed flange and the corner cut at the edge Q.

I need some cabling support, specifically: I need to run a series of cables through a conduit. I use the route network first, then the route cables. To have them side by side, I copy the network of the first one, at least for the straight segment. What I need is if there's a way, when I route cables, that my cables must fit inside my conduit, so I can set some clearances. If there are a lot of cables and they don't fit within the clearances, please let me know. Basically, I need the same thing you use for the holes; that is, I set the maximum clearance diameter through which certain cables can pass, but instead of circular areas, I need rectangular areas since they're conduits.Thanks in advance.

No question but a tip. I want to have the dimensions of a bush in the parameter SubtitleIf a dimension is rounds to zero, then I don't want that zero in the Parameter subtitle.Example:di = 0.8L = 2.5D = 4 RTOS defaults to rounding to 1 decimal (RTOS is available from Creo 11 and higher)If I would do it that way then it would be SUBTITLE = \ "d" + RTOS(Di)+\ " L" + RTOS(L)+\ " D" + RTOS(D)Which would result in Subtitle == d0.8 L2.5 D4.0 If I would type RTOS(D,0) then it would be "D4"With that knowledge I made an equation for how much decimals I need.Ceil(D - Floor (D))In this case if D = 4,2 it would be 4,2-4 which is 0,2 and it is then rounded up to 1If D = 4,0 then it would be 4,0 - 4 which is 0 and it is then rounded op to 0So then you getSUBTITLE = \ "d" + RTOS(Di,Ceil(Di - Floor (Di))) +\ " L" + RTOS(L,Ceil(L - Floor (L)))+\ " D" + RTOS(D,Ceil(D - Floor (D)))Which would result in Subtitle == d0.8 L2.5 D4But we are not there yet, because in edge cases where you h

I am running model check on a top level assembly. When I look at the assembly report there are parts that have errors however when i go into those parts or open them separately to run model check there are no errors. 

I finally got permission and funding from Da Boss to go this year.  Who else is going?  If you are, want to schedule a meetup during one of the days?

I am trying to achieve one or both things - Disable what I’ll call “context-based filters” for commands. For instance - in order to add a hatch to a surface in a drawing, as far as I can tell, I must have layout tab active, and surface selected as the selection filter. If these aren’t absolute requirements, there seem to be many cases where hatch/fill isn’t available to me. It isn’t always intuitive to determine how to “expose” certain commands, and so I’d like to be able to disable default “context-based filters.”  If above isn’t possible, is there a clear way to review commands and see what their requirements are? In the above example - how to know the requirements of ‘hatch/fill.’ I find it cumbersome to look up and remember the conditions for each command. I have been doing this and creating my own table, but it is becoming a burden to my workflow.If neither are possible, “not possible” will suffice. Thanks in advance.

Greetings, Looking for ideas on how to report sum length of cable spool based on custom length per spool segment used in cable harness.example:spool A - length=L1, custom_length (driven from relation) =CL1, spool used N1 times in harness.total length of spool A =?the problem i have is that I can’t make any relation as there is no way to use rep.qty for cable spools in a harness.summation function is also not very flexable. I would prefer if it was function then I could create a relation with If (example: if spool a name==A sum).Is there another simpler way to solve it? Practically best solution I found is to generate the table  > export to CSV > make simple excel relation.

How can I move the arrow position of the dimension using toolkit.Please refer the picture.I didn’t found any specific API.
