Hi folks, I have created for you: REPEATABLE MAPKEY GENERATOR  By default, the program generates the Repeatable Mapkey code from the list. The Repeatable Mapkey Generator uses the existing Mapkey "4k". The Mapkey "4k" is user-defined and is repeated on every object from the list. Please do not forget to set the Close window at the end of your user-defined Mapkey, because Creo is limited that only 15 active windows are allowed to use. How it works:

Workflow for creating an assembly process animation video using an explode state in Creo Parametric  

At LiveWorx this year, we announced a partnership with ANSYS and a new technology never before available for parametric modeling: Live Simulation!   Creo Simulation Live will provide real-time simulation from within your 3D CAD modeler as you work. If you didn't get to see the live demo on the LiveWorx show floor (it was pretty crowded at times), we've got your front row seat in this short video. Watch:     To keep up with announcements about Creo Simulation Live and other CAD and PTC Mathcad news, sign up for the PTC Express Newsletter.           

Generate a set of Creo 3D models, parts list, drawings and 3D visualization with MS Excel and PTC Creo.

Do you create or modify features in Creo? Now you can speed up your work by taking advantage of feature mini toolbars and dimension toolbars, available in Creo 6.0 and later. You'll find these toolbars for features frequently used with part and sheet metal design. Here's everything you need to know to use them.   To Open  Feature Mini Toolbar in Creo   To reach a feature mini toolbar, simply click in the graphics area of your Creo screen.  A mini toolbar appears providing you with quick access to relevant options for your feature. Right-click in the graphics area to open the mini toolbar AND a shortcut menu.   Image: Feature mini toolbar and shortcut menu Note that in addition to the feature mini toolbar, there are also dimension toolbars that allow you to access some commands/options that were previously available only via the shortcut menu for the dimension.   Bonus: Tabs That Reveal More   If you’re in a newer version of Creo, you’ll see that tabs have a new look. In Creo 6 and later, when you open a tab, a short description (plus a link to a Help page) appears directly in the UI.    Image: When the Hole tab is active, a short description appears in ribbon area.   Watch the Demo   You can see these tips and more demonstrated in the video below.     Why Wait to Upgrade?   Each release of Creo includes dozens of convenient features like these that make your work faster and more intuitive than ever.

Workflow for creating and managing combined states to display annotations (dimensions, gtols, datums) for MBD (Model Based Definition) in Creo Parametric 3.0  

Applicable Release: Creo Parametric 1.0 to 8.0   Description: In this video, we will learn which configuration options control the number of decimal places for the dimensions that are going to be created in Creo Models and Drawings.

Applicable Release: Creo Parametric 1.0 to 8.0   Description: In this video, we will learn how to set the number of decimal places for for one or more dimensions displayed in a drawing.

Applicable Release: Creo Parametric 1.0 to 8.0   Description: In this video, we will learn how to set the number of decimal places for all existing model dimensions using the Find (Search) Tool.

In this video, we will learn to customize the Text Symbol Palette to add a custom symbol

Applicable Releases: Creo Parametric 1.0 to 8.0   Description: In this video, we will be using ModelCHECK to Get overall size of the model Calculate model size as X, Y and Z coordinates Get bounding box of a model

Applicable Releases: Creo Parametric 1.0 to 8.0   Description: In this video, we will be using "Active Layer Object Selection" option to: Control the display of features or datums in a drawing view Control display of items in layers on specific drawing view Hide/Unhide the features added in layer in specific drawing views
