JimBarrettSmith · ‎Jun 13, 2016

Hi

Have you tried running creo? If creo runs then you will not need to do anything with the license file that was e-mailed to you

thanks

Saw a preview at LiveWorx last week. With our company going to MBD and using GD&T, I liked what I saw with the GD&T Advisor tool. Also the full screen capability and the onscreen tolls windows should make it better to use.

Downloading it now.

Jim Barrett-Smith‌, can you please clarify on who exactly is supposed to be allowed access to this? Is this only for attendees at LiveWorx 2016? Is it only for customers currently on maintenance? Should the availability of this beta version be announced to the broader PTC Community? People outside of this group are asking and I'm not sure how to respond. From the "Read This First" document:

JimBarrettSmith · ‎Jun 14, 2016

Tom

Sneakpeek is available to past and present customers, meaning customers do NOT have to be on active maintenance.

SP is open to all customers, they simply need to e-mail -

thanks, Jim

Hello

Does anyone know where is the new 3D Sweep feature?

Thanks

Regards

Dario73 · ‎Jun 16, 2016

Hello,

the 3D Sweep is not in Sneak Peek release. Also the mirror feature (in part) will be available in future release (I suppose they will be available with F000)

Regards

mneumueller · ‎Jun 16, 2016

correct Dario.

Both enhancements are not stable enough yet for distribution in sneak-peek. We are working hard towards delivery in F000, but cannot fully confirm it yet.

Regards.

What are the requirements for the video card? It looks like Creo 4 needs more video resources than the previous version, am I right?

rsobecki · ‎Jun 18, 2016

JimBarrettSmith · ‎Jun 20, 2016

Roman

Try disabling your virus checker.

thanks, Jim

JimBarrettSmith · ‎Jun 20, 2016

Hi Mihai

The requirements are in the Read this First document, which is posted in this forum.

Thanks, Jim

JamesNM · ‎Jun 20, 2016

I continue to get the above error when the installer is launched.

rsobecki · ‎Jun 20, 2016

ok I finally install it 😉

Could someone indicate what features are completely new or refreshed and need to be tested?

I noticed new Real-Time Rendering Button:

and keep searching...

RaphaelCNascime · ‎Jun 20, 2016

The best way to find out what's new in Creo 4.0 is to go to the "All Content" section and then choose the tabs of either "Blog Posts" or "Documents". Here you'll find the descriptions of the new stuff put there by the various Product Managers. You could also select a category on the left side to narrow down to a specific topic of interest.

splevano · ‎Jun 21, 2016

Is there a version for Windows 32bit? The installmgr in the posted link is named 32 but it doesn't run on my machine.

splevano · ‎Jun 21, 2016

Ok, I have read in the "Read me first" that it only runs on 64bit machines.

pzago · ‎Jun 21, 2016

Same error here, is it possible to have an "offline installer" instead of a downloader?

pzago · ‎Jun 21, 2016

So the error was caused by me selecting "run" in the Internet Explorer download dialog box. Selecting "save" and running from the saved copy works. But then if I double click on the installed Creo shortcut it doesn't run giving me this std.out:

langLoadExtTbl: File "pro_i18n.res" could not be opened.

langLoadExtTbl: File "pro_i18n.res" could not be opened.
Error loading font file font.ndx
Cannot initialize message system; index file msgtxt.ndx not found.
generate UI traceback and exit
Generating automatic traceback in C:\Users\Public\Documents\traceback.log...

I know someone solved issues by disabling the antivirus, but I can't do that.

shuckaby · ‎Jun 21, 2016

How does installing SP Creo4.0 play with existing Creo/Windchill installs? Will they be completely separate from each other and can easily live on the same machine? Our setup is validated to a particular configuration, so adding in something that shares or potential changes some aspect of that wouldn't work for me and i'd have to look at a network install or a separate PC.

AlexandreMG · ‎Jun 21, 2016

I have PTC Creo 3.0 and PTC Creo 4.0 and everything is going well, it is completely separate.

DennisRehmer · ‎Jun 21, 2016

I also have my companies production version of Creo 3.0 and WindChill 10.2 running, and had no issues installing or running the SP of Creo 4.0. The SP of Creo didnot look to connect to any install i currently had on my machine.

afabre · ‎Jun 23, 2016

Hi Jim

My Creo 4 installation worked fine until today, now I get "License request failed for feature"..."Invalid host" when I try to start.

Any ideas?

jwaffensmith · ‎Jun 23, 2016

The ordinate dimensions pile up one on top of the other and there isn't a way to clean them up WITHOUT MANUALLY ADDING A JOG. Cmon people, Cadkey used to clean up its ordinate dimensions automatically... why cant we get this fixed????

jwaffensmith · ‎Jun 23, 2016

I like the visual mirror though. that will be handy

DennisRehmer · ‎Jun 23, 2016

Where is this located, in the rendering?

jwaffensmith · ‎Jun 23, 2016

Funny I cant find it again.......I thought it was under the view tab under the model display. Oh it only works with a part file.

so view/model display/visual mirror. Alias had this function I used it all the time.

mneumueller · ‎Jun 23, 2016

Hi Jeff, Dennis,

you can go to View-Scenes-Edit Scene - Environment and turn on Reflection.

Then use display mode Shading with Reflections.

Is that what you where after?

best regards..Martin

jwaffensmith · ‎Jun 23, 2016

Martin this is function that allows you to model just one half and still see the mirror of your part. So you don't have to keep turning on and off a mirror feature.

There isn't a feature here its just a trick with mirrors

I am also seeing the same error as Alexander when I try to launch any of the Creo products.

JimBarrettSmith · ‎Jun 24, 2016

Alexander and Shaun

I am investigating,

thanks, Jim

afabre · ‎Jun 27, 2016

If its any help: I installed the sneak peek when I was at our site in Budapest Hungary, and there I could run the software. It hasn't worked since I came back to our Stockholm Sweden site.

If the license file is generated on install, maybe it gets confused by me switching countries?

JimBarrettSmith · ‎Jun 27, 2016

This might be because of the dual network adapter cards…

Please check the Sneak peek edition license file… i.e. MAC address with which the license file is configured.

PTC_HOSTID=<mac address>

Please check if the network adapter MAC address matches with the MAC address in the license file

Thanks, Jim

sburton-3 · ‎Jun 27, 2016

It looks like it may have issued the license to the MAC address of our outbound internet proxy since the MAC address in the license file does not match any of the MAC addresses on my laptop.

I presume that if I remove and re-install from a direct internet connection, a new license will be issued with the correct MAC address?

JimBarrettSmith · ‎Jun 27, 2016

Yes an uninstall and re-install should solve the issue. I apologize for the inconvenience, and please do confirm the issue has been resolved

thanks,Jim

afabre · ‎Jun 28, 2016

Problem remains: I have uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled but still get the same error. The licenses are locked to a mac address that doesn't exist on my computer. I have no option to use a "direct internet connection" that Shaun speaks of.

agodbole · ‎Jun 29, 2016

Please go to C:\Programdata\PTC\Licensing and see if an old invalid license file exists. If yes, please delete and do reinstallation.

afabre · ‎Jun 29, 2016

Thank you Amol, that did the trick

osoudy-2 · ‎Jun 30, 2016

Hello all,

When I try to install from the "pim_installmgr_32.exe" as administrator, this error message appears :

Is it limited to 32 bits machines ?

What is the solution to this trouble ?

Thanks, regards

agodbole · ‎Jun 30, 2016

Hi olivier SOUDY,

The error indicates - there is no network connection and it is unable to connect to PTC server.

It's a web download and needs active internet connection during the installation.

Regards,

Amol

agodbole · ‎Jun 30, 2016

When you download the above exe from browser, try selecting "save" and then running from the saved copy.

osoudy-2 · ‎Jun 30, 2016

Hi Amol,

thanks you for your answer.

I have an active internet connection at the moment, with a network cable.

Thanks, regards

osoudy-2 · ‎Jun 30, 2016

I have tried this because i have read a post above.

agodbole · ‎Jun 30, 2016

Hi, Can you please check firewall and antivirus settings. Something is stopping to connect to PTC server.

osoudy-2 · ‎Jun 30, 2016

ok I will check this with our IT departement.

jwaffensmith · ‎Jul 05, 2016

nice to see:

1. they fixed the perspective

2. Import image is nice.

3. I like the new way to pull up dimension properties

Why cant I shade with edges and have reflections and bump maps???

osoudy-2 · ‎Jul 06, 2016

Hi,

Now it's working fine.

Thanks

agodbole · ‎Jul 07, 2016

Olivier,

Great to hear. Can you please confirm what has resolved the issue exactly? Antivirus/Firewall?

Regards,

Amol

osoudy-2 · ‎Jul 07, 2016

Hi Amol,

it was very strange. I work in differents locations in the company. In one of them I have not had this connection problem.

Thanks,

Regards
