Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello !Using Creo Parametric 9.0.3 here.When I am creating a hole, the default placement type is Linear.Is there a way to change this to something else, like Sketched ? I have looked for a config.pro option but found nothing so far. 

How can we selectively suppress specific features within a group instead of suppressing the entire group?

In a smartassembly script, is there a way to tie an IF statement to some type of GOTO command?

Hi,I am trying to plot the average pressure from several monitoring points in Creo Flow Analysis / Creo 12.I have 10 monitoring points namedPoint 01, Point 02, ... Point 10According to the documentation, I understood that monitoring point values can be accessed using syntax like:flow.P@probe."Point01"and that user-defined XY plot variables should be created using:plot.varnameSo I tried defining an expression like:plot.P_avg = (flow.P@probe."Point 01" + [...] + flow.P@probe."Point 10")/10#plot.P_avg: Average Pressure [Pa]However, I cannot find plot.P_avg as a selectable variable in the XY Plot panel or elsewhere afterwards.Has anyone successfully plotted an average value from multiple monitoring points in Creo Flow Analysis?Am I missing a specific place/context where the expression must be created, or is there another syntax required?Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,In our drawing BOM, the SIZE column shows values like 156.000x40.000x33.509 as a single string. I'd like to split this into three separate columns (L, W, H) showing only whole numbers, with standard rounding (anything above .5 rounds up).Current output in the SIZE column:156.000x40.000x33.509800.000x600.000x70.000156.000x156.000x34.925Desired output across three columns:L W H156 40 34800 600 70156 156 35A few things I'm unsure about:Is there a way to do this directly in the Creo drawing repeat region table, using column format or symbolic parameters?Can relations or parameters (e.g. user-defined SIZE_L, SIZE_W, SIZE_H) be used to parse and round the SIZE string, and then called in the BOM table?Any advice on the best practice for this in Creo Parametric would be appreciated. Thanks! 

Hi All,I’m facing an appearance‑related issue when importing STEP AP214 files into Creo 11, and I’m looking for guidance or best practices.Workflow and Issue:I export a STEP file (AP214 format) from Fusion 360. When I import this STEP file into Creo 11 as an assembly, all components appear with the default grey appearance. However, when I clear the assembly‑level appearance in Creo, the original part‑level appearances/colors are restored correctly. The same STEP file opens correctly with appearances intact in Autodesk Inventor, without any manual steps.STEP Schema Used:FILE_SCHEMA (('AUTOMOTIVE_DESIGN { 1 0 10303 214 3 1 1 }'));Questions:Is there a way in Creo 11 to retain the original appearances automatically when importing STEP AP214 assemblies? Is this behavior related to how Creo handles assembly‑level vs part‑level appearances during STEP import? Are there specific STEP import settings, config.pro options, or best practices to prevent Creo from assigning the default grey appearan

Hi everyone,Does anyone knows how to delete or remove the system generated notes.I tired the APIs,ProDtlnoteRemove() - failingProDtlnoteDelete()  - failingProDtlnoteErase() - erasing note until next regenerationthese above API are removing all the notes except the system generated note (for eg: scale 1:1, section x-x).

Hi,  Is it possible to download ISO fit tolerance tables from the community, or where can I find the correct format for creating them manually? In my case, the folder is empty.  Thank you!

I am using Creo 9.0.8.0 and in the process of obsoleting some parts. I delete a couple of patterns of parts (stacked on a skid), but the quantity dimension is left behind (orphaned?). Is this a bug?   Before deletion (I hadn't saved, so I exited and started over) After deletion Thanks, Dale

Is it possible to create a mirrored part/sub assy in Creo Parametric through Toolkit ?i'm aware to Articles - CS339524 & CS291468 however maybe there is some workaround to achive this goal ? thought on maybe using Merge / Inheritance or such.any idea would be appriciated

for MBD files i’ve made revisions after that i need to clear the notes like {5}, so that is their any way to clear them, i tired by mapkeys or modelcheck but couldn’t get exact way..Pls let me know any possible scenorios Thanks in advance 

Hello, typically when using derived parts we know beforehand if we will be using them or not. To do this typically we would make the purchased blank, then use the derive (merge inheritance) feature to show the part was made from said blank beforehand. My question is, if we already have an existing part, is there any way we could create a blank, then change the existing part to be derived from said blank?

Hi,I have a new server and had to create a new license file for the host.The new license file has “BORROW =1” in all positions. The old license file has “BORROW =720”. If I understand right 720 stands for hours. 720 means 720/24 = 30 days. With the new license file, it is not possible to borrow a license anymore.All licenses are permanent.Is it possible to solve that?

Hi,Does anyone know how I can change the default window size in Creo?Let me explain better: when I run the command View >>> Windows >>> Default Size,the window shrinks like this.Is there a way to get the screenshot at the maximum screen size or a larger size?Thanks!P.S. I’m using Creo 12.4.3.0

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?

Hallo,in einer Baugruppe sollen über “Ansichts-Manager” verschiedene Varianten der Baugruppe erstellt werden. Dabei sind in einer Variante nur jeweils wenige Teile spezifisch, die meisten kommen in allen Varianten vor. Einige dieser Komponenten werden aber an unterschiedlichen Stellen verbaut.Wir kann das realisiert werden, ohne bei jeder Variante diese Komponenten neu in die Baugruppe laden und verbauen zu müssen?Danke und Gruß,Jörg

I'm a SW user with about a year of CREO use now. I'm on CREO Parametric 10.0.4.0. I'm playing with a PCB layout, placing major components on a motherboard. So I've dropped in a PCIe card, and attached it to a PCIe Connector, and I've got power connectors, and other hand-accessible components (buttons, switches, etc). I've constrained them all to the PCB surface, and now I'd like to drag them around and figure out which layout works best for end-user and PCB design team. The only way I seem to be able to do this is to click on a component, and Edit Definition, and then drag the arrows for the unconstrained Degrees of Freedom. That's kind of okay, except that CREO seems to really think the assembly order matters. So if I place the PCIe connector first, I have to drag that around in its DoF, but that hides the PCIe card, and associated cables since those were placed later. And if I move whatever the first component is (in this case a button), every other component disappears so I hav

Are there any users out there that can vouch for the current HSM Modules in relation to 4 axis milling?  Has PTC improved 4 axis much?

I can complete all aspects of processing a model into a machined part except the output file needed for my machine. I have simple 3 axis proto tack SMX controller that needs a .gcd file output. I can only save and view my CL data into an .ncl format. W use Creo 10.0.3.0. Any assistance with post processors? 

I've looked through the community and the internet and haven't found anything on this subject, so hopefully I didn't just miss it somewhere. I have an assembly that someone created an exploded view for, so I don't want to just delete it. But every time I open the assembly, the default view is the exploded view and the first thing I have to do to get any work done is unexplode the model. I've looked through the view manager and the config settings and I can't find any means of changing this default setting. How do I get the assembly to stop doing this?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0Our engineers have a query regarding creo, see below: We need some help on CREO piping module - clocking angles. At the minute, there is a discrepancy between the CAD and the measured angles on the machine. We want to understand, how CREO measures the angle between to the end coupling oriented in 2 different planes.

I think that the cross-hatching is somewhat convoluted, not sufficiently documented and not at all clear as to designed workflow in the practical world. However for this post I found a bug that causes extremely slow Hatch dialog performance in Creo drawings that does not appear to be documented anywhere. This post is intended to clearly describe the behavior, the root cause, and the fix.I am primarily using Creo Parametric 11.0.6.0 Solution Summary: Option A ) via UI Open Hatch Gallery Clear all Pins and Favorites Close and reopen the Hatch dialog Option B ) file explorer Close Creo Navigate to: %PTC_WF_ROOT%\.Settings\ Delete or Rename: web_favorites.xml → web_favorites_backup.xml You may also be able to change the contents of the file, since it is xml, automatically using a script, but I did not get this far, and probably wont go this route for now. Restart Creo Hopefully this helps others avoid days of unnecessary debugging.  I will likely submit a support

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Creo Toolkit (Pro/Toolkit) application and need to create a mirror feature programmatically.According to the official PTC documentation, the element `PRO_E_MIRROR_REF_ITEMS` expects references of the following types:- PRO_CURVE- PRO_COMP_CRV- PRO_AXIS- PRO_QUILT- PRO_PARTNotably, `PRO_FEATURE` is NOT included in this list. My questions:1. Is there a way to mirror a feature directly via `PRO_E_MIRROR_REF_ITEMS` (i.e., passing a `PRO_FEATURE` reference)?2. If not, what is the correct/best practice for mirroring a feature through Toolkit?Thank you in advance for any insights or code examples.
