Creo Parametric Tips

I thought that the trial period was 30 days but I got a popup saying "Time Remaining - Your Creo Parametric8.0 trial will expire in - 18813 days, -19 hours and -9 minutes.", is it an error or whats "18813 days" mean? Also, after 30days I wont be allowed to use trial anymore or will be able to use some of the functions still?

Usually, You assign a material using oSession = pfcCreate("MpfcCOMGlobal").GetProESession();  CurModel = oSession.CurrentModel;  CurModel.CurrentMaterial = CurModel.RetrieveMaterial(material_name); But there is a catch.This code line only imports the number

As part of our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there is a session about "Take your automation to the next level with Virtual Master Model" with our partner SIGMAXIM.    Keeping rules and logic in Creo has its benefits. But, it also has its drawbacks. Most of us have tried Family Tables Pro/Programs Relations Over loaded assemblies   The Virtual Master Model (VMM) concept gives users the advantage of retaining the information and rules saved in the master model concept without the disadvantage of lugging it around in Creo and Windchill environments. How did VMM make it better? By creating a rules engine and linking it outside Creo. Imagine being able to quickly change and update models without having to dig through code or other logic. Everything users do is based on rules and logic which cascades into other decisions and results. VMM offers the flexibility to keep the resulting Creo data a concise model set without the burden of unnecessary data. ETO can now be included in your automation road map. VMM is smart enough to handle complex and unique rule sets. You could also call it low coding.   When: Oct 12th at 3 pm (CEST)    Here is the recording for you: (view in My Videos) Please feel free to ask your questions.

Here's the next set of quick Creo tutorials presented by our expert product managers. Each tutorial in this series is just a few minutes long. These tips are aimed at helping you learn a new skill. Or, for experienced users, helping you learn a new workflow to perform a skill you've been doing for years.   Below you’ll find about 15 minutes of video how-tos to help you improve your Creo proficiency.   Let's get started. Combining Simplified Reps and Augmented Reality for Lightweight Experiences   Simplified Representations allow you to control the amount of data retrieved for a component. These can be helpful for to publishing lightweight AR experience.   In this tutorial, Creo Product Manager, Luke Westbrook, shows you how to use simplified reps with your next AR experience.   Here's how: Using Sketch Region   You can create geometry containing extrude, revolve, fill, and sketch features  quickly using sketch regions. Using Sketch Region reduces the need to perform project and trim operations within Sketcher. It also offers a flexible way to use portions of a single sketch as the basis for several sketch-based features.   In this short tutorial, Director of Product Management, Martin Neumueller, shows you how to use Sketch Region selection to quickly create geometry with supported sketch-based features.   Watch the tutorial:   Dimensioning: Custom Fractions   You can display dimensions in Creo as either decimals or fractions by setting a configuration option. Then, you can set up custom fraction denominators and use them to define your model's dimensions.   In this tutorial, Creo Product Manager, Michael Fridman, shows you how to dimension with fractions instead of decimal representations, and then add a custom fraction denominator, when needed.   See how to do it:   For more tips from our experts, watch the Tips from the Creo Masters main page.

Well-known community member, Stephen, tells us he has two interests: Creo - and saltwater fishing with his wife in the bays along the Texas coast for red drum, black drum, flounder, and sea trout. Below, a good day with a 30-pound black drum he released. Stephen is Texas born and raised, spending most childhood summers on his grandfather’s hard-working farm.  He’s been involved in Pro/Engineer-Creo community since the mid to late 90’s, well before PTC had an integrated community.   He says:  “I enjoy helping other users learn how to use Creo but mostly I like learning things about the software I didn’t know. There is likely not a week that goes by that I don’t learn something on the Community that I can put to use.  I absolutely know that without the community, I wouldn’t be as good of a Creo user.”  We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!   Right now, Stephen makes parts/assemblies and drawings although he said that he used to do a lot with Creo’s routed systems and sheet metal capabilities. He and his team directly support manufacturing and customer integration for everything his employer builds. He kindly shared with us a photo of a project on which he works.    Here’s how he describes the photo below:  "The yellow part is a Subsea Blowout Preventor that is shipping out from our manufacturing facility here in Houston. This is ½ of the product we manufacture here in Houston. This part is about 750,000 pounds of steel. The other ½ is another 500,000 pounds and is not pictured. It ships separately but are used together for offshore drilling as passive safety devices.   It took 3 days for this trailer to get from our manufacturing facility to our port facility near Baytown TX (about 50 miles)." Thanks to Stephen for his contributions to the Community.  Better together is what it's about.
