Hello, i'm new to PTC software and still strugling to understand it. I'm constructing something for my school project but i don't know how to add standart parts in my assembly. I understand there is no library with CREO but there is internet browser implemented through which i can download these parts from internet. I downloaded tapered roller bearing from 3dmodelspace.com but when i try to add it into my assembly it says "The file (...) was created with a commercial version of Creo Parametric and is not compatible with the version of Creo Parametric you are running." I have student edition ofcourse. Is there a way around? How Can i add standart parts into student edition assembly? Should i use different source of these models?
I often download models from 3DModelSpace and, as you say, Schools Edition will not load them. I usually download them as STEP files which Schools Edition will load - They cannot be modified in terms of sizes or existing features but can be added to. If you look at my recent post Re. an Acrylic Turntable for a 3D Printer, you will see that the Bearing and Cap-Screw where downloaded as STEP files and a thread was later added to the Cap-Screw.
No promises but hopefully soon, we will also have those models available in educational format. 3DModelSpace and partners are willing, just need to find the time to make it happen.
