Creo+ and Creo Parametric

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.

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. 

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. 

Hi, I tried this How to get Layer status of Drawing layers | Community but it is not working, if I pass the ProMdl as drawing, if you have solution can you please share the code snippet          //ProMdl model = (ProMdl)solid;         //ProMdl model = (ProMdl)drawing;    -→ fails here        /* Visit layers */        ProMdlLayerVisit(            model,            (ProLayerAction)LayerVisitAction,            NULL,            (ProAppData)&view        ); 

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 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.

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  

hole_file_resolution use internal How do I updated old files so that any hole callout they are using is saved internally, without going back through every part and updating every hole callout? Up till now, cad files have not been saving .hol files internally.The .hol files have since been updated to include default_callout_format_data. (which allowed me to combine multiple files into one)So using the same file names on .hol callouts wont work, because I was able to reduce the total number required.The main issue, now when I go to put in a hole, there are multiple ‘Thread Type’ selections and half of them will be unused going forward.But if I remove them, old files will contain incomplete hole callouts due to the ‘hole_file_resolution use internal’ not being set when the part was created.Hiding the old .hol files so they can still be read but are not displayed would be acceptable as well, but I’m not seeing any options for that.Any suggestions on how to use the new .hol files without wa

Ive been struggling to creat and report on the same run of modelcheck batchcreo 8.0.9.0 windows 11Ive already tried to input a list with xxx.prt.1 and long after xxx.prt.2 but it didnt work as well.

Hello !I run Creo 9.0.12.0 and I set the config.pro option auto_add_remove to yes. However, it looks like the option is not applied by Creo. No matter what side I move the extrusion arrow, I still have to select “Remove Material” to, well, remove material. Any insight here, please ? Google found nothing so far.Thanks !

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.3.0Subject: Creo 12.4 + Windchill: J-Link Model.Rename() always returns XToolkitCantModifyWe are migrating a Java J-Link workflow from Creo 6 to Creo 12.4 in a Windchill-linked environment.In Creo 12.4, Model.Rename(newName, false) fails consistently with XToolkitCantModify for both .asm and .drw.Isolated test (minimal):1. RetrieveModelWithOpts() on MAC_NEXTAIR_2.ASM and MAC_NEXTAIR_2.DRW2. CheckIsModifiable(false) => true3. CheckIsSaveAllowed(false) => true4. Model.Rename(...) => XToolkitCantModifyManual rename from Creo UI (same environment) works.We reviewed CS419079 / CS419066 about read-only policy since Creo 10, but our case is unclear because modifiable/save-allowed are true while J-Link rename still fails.Please confirm:1. Is J-Link Model.Rename() supported for Windchill-managed models in Creo 12.4?2. Is checkout mandatory for rename in this context?3. Is there a known difference between UI rename and J-Link rena

How can the default on drilled holes be changed to 140°?  While 118° may be standard for a lot of drills, almost all of our drills Ø3/8 and up to Ø1-1/4" are 140° inserted tips.  As a Creo NC user, I change models all the time sent to me by Engineering that have holes put in at 118°, just to match the drill that I will actually be using.

Would anyone know if you can reference the Component Feature Number (not internal feature ID) in a relation for a filter in an assembly drawing repeat region?Wanting to use features in an assembly model tree, 2 features at a time using their location in an assembly model tree to control what components are displayed in an assembly drawing BOM table on a particular sheet.Basically, if the components are between any 2 features in the model tree that I specify, I want to show them and only the quantities for the parts in the BOM table repeat region on a drawing sheet for the components that reside between the 2 features in the model tree.Features would be named Sheet_2, Sheet_3, Sheet_4, Sheet_5, etc. and could be an annotation feature, datum plane, or other feature.Repeat region filter would be if greater than feature number for Sheet_2 and less than feature number for Sheet_3 display component info and qty of part in that section of model tree in BOM table.Each drawing sheet will build

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.9.0How to create drawing template in HMX. Is there any option to apply sort and filter in data tables generated by HMX. After generating flattened harness drawing how to change orientation of connector.

I just had Creo 10.0.7.0 crash. Thankfully I was no longer in any models at the time of the crash. Just starting to open a file. When I restarted Creo, all the “Recent” files are not from today - I had just seen them and chose one when the crash occurred. Any thoughts?

In Creo assembly design, is it a good practice to first validate the concept using Layout, then define a Skeleton model, and finally create parts within the assembly using skeleton references?Does this approach help avoid assembly issues, or are there better recommended workflows?

We normally retrieve hole features from part files using Solid.ListFeaturesByType(false, (int)EpfcFeatureType.EpfcFEATTYPE_HOLE). However, this code doesn’t work for certain ISK part files and returns a null group value. Please explain, why the part file is returning a null group value?

I’m currently using Creo 4 to test interference detection through VBAPI in C#. When I try to run the same code in Creo 11, the application launches and the working directory is set successfully, but I receive a 'pfcExceptions::XToolkitInvalidName' error at the line session.OpenFile(modelDesc1).Activate(); One more question: Does Creo 11 support rotating and zooming the assembly to capture the interference location?

Hi everyone,I am facing a problem to override the dimension value, I have created an dimension using ProDrawingDimensionCreate().And now I want to edit that dimension value through toolkit itself, manually we do it with using an option in drawing window called “override value of dimension”.But I am unable to do it with toolkit using API.Can anyone please help me by providing the solution.

Hi all,For our assemblies, we add a BoM table to the drawing. These were setup a while ago, and we have a few different tables saved for different purposes. The main one is a simple table with a repeat region as followsThis works fine for most of the parts, but it doesn’t allow us to define a different part number other than the one defined in Windchill. If we were starting again with our installation, we would probably add a relation in the start part against a parameter such as ‘BOM_PART_NUMBER’ which defaulted to the Windchill part number but could be changed by the user. This parameter would then be what is defined in the repeat region.However, we now have many thousand parts and none of them have this parameter, and so we cannot change the part number in the BoM without changing the file name of the part.Having done some research, it looks like relations can be added to the repeat region, and so a conditional statement can be added. Descriptively, what I had in mind is that if the
