Datum tag overlaps with Gtol in Creo 5

April 27, 2017, 6:09 am

Hi All,

 

I'm relatively new to Creo/ProE, so this may be a somewhat trivial question

 

We just converted from Creo 2.0 to Creo 4.0 a few weeks ago, and I'm having problems adding a datum tag and geometric tolerance to the same dimension in the new program. More specifically, when I try to add an ASME datum tag and a flatness geometric tolerance to the same thickness dimension, the symbols overlap with one another.

 

What's really strange is that I was able to do this in Creo 2 without any problems. The images of the drawing view from Creo 2 and Creo 4 are shown below


Creo2Drawing.jpgCreo4Drawing.jpg


In Creo 2, I used the model datum button to create the datum symbol, but in Creo 4 i'm trying to use the datum feature symbol button, so I wonder if that is part of the reason for this problem. Alternatively, this form of dimensioning may not be appropriate anymore with the latest drawing standards


Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks!

-Matt

Problem with cabling XML import file

April 27, 2017, 6:16 am

Hi to all,

I have recently update my PTC product from Wildfire 5 to CREO 2. Until I have used Wildfire 5 I could import XML cabling file in Pro/E (from Zuken E3) with no problem. In Creo 2.0 when I try to import same file I receive an error about spools. In practice, CREO does not accept the separation character (ex. 0.5) of the spools. Infact if I modify manualy the XML file and change 0.5 in 0_5 the problem is solved.

So my questions are:

- how do I replace automatically "_" instead of "."?

- why in NWF file, the same spools with "0.5" is properly interpreted by CREO with no error?

 

Thanx

How can I inpsert a Symbol in a View State using Drawing Program?

Hi, all,

 

I'm trying to manage a drawing with almost 200 View States. One of my problem (beside the most important that I can't find  a Tutorial) is that I can't insert a Symbol in a View State (a new one or editing an existing one). The Help Center says this about Detail Items which includes dimensions, notes, and balloon notes but NOT symbols:

To Create Detail Items in a Drawing State

To create detail items such as dimensions, notes, and balloon notes in a drawing state, choose Create from the DWG COMMANDS menu that appears when you click Tools> Drawing Program> Define States> Create State> Record Cmds. Items that you create in one state are not visible in any other state or outside of the drawing program.

Does anyone knows how to insert a symbol in a View State, please?   

Thank you,
nic.

Appearance states as family table?

April 28, 2017, 6:00 am

Let me try to explain my question: in Creo now you can use "appearance states" to define different color combinations for the same part or assembly.

Let's say I have this assembly plastic_man_toy which is made of two parts: plastic_man_body and plastic_man_head. Now I can open the assembly and create two states of appearance, for example one with red body and blue head, and one with yellow body and green head.

Now let's say I want to create a third assembly where two plastic_man_toy are assembled. Is there a way to change the appearance of each assembly independently, choosing from one of the two I created at assembly level? Right now if I change the appearance of the assembly it is applied to all the instances of the same assembly in the scene. Maybe a way to add the appearance state to a family table?

Creating vertical notes in Creo Parametric 3.0 and 4.0 takes so much longer compared to Creo 2.0.

April 28, 2017, 6:56 am

In Creo 3.0 when making multiple vertical notes you have to select :-

Note > Unattached Note > Select LOCATION for note > Type the note > MMB to finish typing > RMB > Properties > Text Style > Angle > Type 90 > OK > LMB click in empty area of screen.

For subsequent vertical notes you have to do all the above again.

 

In Creo 2.0 you select:-

Note > No Leader > Vertical > Make Note > Select LOCATION for note > Type the note > Enter > Enter

For subsequent vertical notes you just have to select Make Note, as the last settings are kept.

 

At no point on creating a note in Creo 3.0 are you able to specify 'vertical'.

As you can see it in the first picture, the A-A section of this view is the same size as the view. But actually it should be "higher" - as you can see it in the second picture - because of the type of the section. How can I make a section like the one in the second picture?

1.Create a new prt or asm

2.Create a new argument: “设计”，It means "design", but it must be Chinese

3.By using the modelcheck function, either delete or add renaming all modification operations will fail, that is to say, this parameter, only through manual modification, not through the modelcheck function to modify, we are interested can try.

4.Apply to all versions, including creo4.0M010

5.The attached version is wildfire 5

Why does decorated text lose decorations in PDF exports?

I am new to Creo Schematics 3.0. When I export to PDF, I find that my decorated text loses all decorations; i.e., my circled text is no longer circled. In addition, I find that circles drawn with Geometry's Circle tool are not rendered as complete circles: each is missing an identical section, that from 270 to 360 degrees. The missing sections are there when I zoom in with Creo.

 

What export settings might be incorrect? For the decorated text, is this a font-specific error?

Circular references all but baked in the cake in creo 4.0

May 1, 2017, 11:06 pm

So i keep getting circular references that in the past would never have resulted as such.

 

AND the common theme is always some elusive dimension that doesn't even exist.......ie:

 

  1 CIRCULAR REFERENCE LOOPS FOUND

 

 

 

   LOOP #  1

 

 

   Depth of loop is 4

 

 

Feature number 53 (COMPONENT, id = 5562)

  in model 171757_42617_TOP_HSNG refers to:

 

 

Feature number 5 (COPY_1, id = 284)

  in model HH_SUB_INSERT_TOP refers to:

 

 

Feature number 54 (Dimensions, id = 4826)

  in model 171757_42617_TOP_HSNG must follow after:

 

 

Feature number 53 (COMPONENT, id = 5562)

  in model 171757_42617_TOP_HSNG - circle closed.

 

THERE IS NO FEATURE 54, THERE IS NO DIMENSIONS, ID = 4826 ANYWHERE.

 

And then the "information center" is all but useless.....when i regen and the error shows up i open the "information center" that tells me NOTHING WHAT SO EVER.....so what is the point of having it?

 

I've never had to worry about circular references before as i know what i'm doing (at least i thought i did) but now i get them in almost every assembly and it's always some dimension in a feature that is past my model tree feature count.......WTF is going on?

I am looking for getting a list of components which are missing and causing failure to retrieve the assembly, in which they were referred.

How can I do this in a batch mode?

I am okay to get it through any possible solutions like Toolkit, etc.

Repeat Region Relation to Differentiate Between Contexts

May 2, 2017, 9:24 am

My company has one Windchill context for Libraries and one for Products.  I'd like to write a Repeat Region relation that would differentiate between contexts and populate a drawing's BOM accordingly.

 

For example, if the assembly member comes from the Products context, I'd like the asm.mbr.name set to a parameter.  If the assembly member comes from the Libraries context, I'd like the asm.mbr.name to be just that.

 

Something along the lines of...

 

IF

     asm.mbr.PTC_WM_LOCATION==/Products

          asm.mbr.name=A relation-driven parameter in the part

ELSE    

     asm.mbr.name

 

Does anyone have a suggestion for how to access the PTC_WM... parameters?
