In assembly mode model, there is a shrinkwrap function available.
Goal is make a light weight representation of the assembly.
This feature is added as assemblyfeature to the modeltree.
But the question is, what can you do with it?
It is not possible to export, or open it separatly.
So, I was wondering how to use this?
I'm running a structural analysis in Creo Simulate 3.0 and I receive the following warning: "This point has a radiation condition, but is not part of any element". I see this in the diagnostic viewer just before Simulate displays that the run has completed. I can't seem to find which point Simulate is talking about, nor what the warning means. Anyone have an idea?
Hi guys,
can you explain me the exact meaning of this variable on CREO launch "bat" file :
SET PROE_MESSAGE="For question, please contact Mr. X"
When this message appears ? Where ?
I couldn't find it in the help center .
Many thanks

I use the following code to insert a drawing note onto a drawing, but I cannot figure out how to place it at a specific XY coordinate.
| Public Function createSurfaceNote(drawing As IpfcDrawing) As IpfcDetailNoteItem | |
| Dim text As IpfcDetailText | |
| Dim texts As CpfcDetailTexts | |
| Dim textLine As IpfcDetailTextLine | |
| Dim textLines As CpfcDetailTextLines | |
| Dim noteInstructions As IpfcDetailNoteInstructions | |
| Dim note As IpfcDetailNoteItem = Nothing |
| Try |
| '====================================================================== | ||
| 'Allocate a text item and add it to a new text line | ||
| '====================================================================== | ||
| text = (New CCpfcDetailText).Create("@[&sheet_name@]") | ||
| texts = New CpfcDetailTexts | ||
| texts.Insert(0, text) | ||
| textLine = (New CCpfcDetailTextLine).Create(texts) | ||
| textLines = New CpfcDetailTextLines | ||
| textLines.Insert(0, textLine) |
| '====================================================================== | |
| 'Allocate a note description and set its properties | |
| '====================================================================== | |
| noteInstructions = (New CCpfcDetailNoteInstructions).Create(textLines) |
| '====================================================================== | |
| 'Create and display the note | |
| '====================================================================== | |
| note = drawing.CreateDetailItem(noteInstructions) | |
| note.Show() |
| Catch ex As Exception | |
| MsgBox(ex.Message.ToString + Chr(13) + ex.StackTrace.ToString) | |
| End Try |
| createSurfaceNote = note |
| End Function |
I am grateful for any help on this. Clay
We are reading a Creo Parametric 3.0 assembly into 2.0 using GCRI . Comes up into 2.0 session great, can even save individual parts, but as soon as we then attempt to backup the assembly or any sub-assemblies to disk we get a traceback/exit. We are backing into a new directory, and have also tried renaming all components. No deal.
PTC has reproduced the problem, and there is an open SPR on it, but I was wondering if anyone had experience or suggestions on getting it resolved as we're sort of in a hurry here.
Thanks.
Hi all,
I have picked up a space navigator to use with the two CAD packages my employer uses. Although the latest driver has been installed and the computer recognises the mouse I don't have the normal blue LED ring. Nor can I actually use the mouse in the CAD programs.
I was thinking it may be a config thing but I;m unsure where to start.
HAs anyone sorted this problem out before?
Many Thanks,
Mourad
I have created a Creo model using a Mathcad Prime external analysis that calculates a parametric Bezier-curve based upon Creo parameters. I am using the Bezier-curve to create specific geometry inside my model.
The trouble I am having is that I always need to update/ regenerate my model twice for the geometry to change based upon the Creo parameters changing - the first regeneration updates the Mathcad analysis, the second one updates the geometry.
Is there a way to force Creo to update/ regenerate the model until no further changes (neither Mathcad results nor subsequent geometry) occur.
Thanks for any hint you might have to alleviate this issue.
Kind regards,
Carsten
after creating a shirk wrap that is say merge solid, can I change it to surface based ?
Hi folks,
I'm just sending this out here to see response. We partner with external tool design resources who create designs and full documentation to us. Often times the tool design includes machines, where there are wiring, pneumatic, or PLC needs in the machine and we want schematics to represent those systems.
Our need:
1. Outside Design house is creating schematics. So far, Visio seems to be what 2 vendors are using.
2. We need to bring it into our drawings and be able to edit there. Cannot be a screenshot and copied and paste.
We have initially asked that they .dxf out from whatever program they are using, then we edit in our Creo or Solidworks drawings. I'm considering that if Visio is the main tool that industry is using for these types of schematics, that the Visio file is embedded into the CAD drawing (not sure if this is possible, but basically double click on schematic in drawing and it launches the embedded Visio file).
Is this possible? How are you handling this type of work from external vendors?
Thanks,
Randy
Just thought that somehow PTC would allow this. Anyone got ideas?
Thanks in advance. Pete
Hi everyone,
I'd like to know how to input lengths in fractional system. I want to create a simple rectangle of [ 27' 11_3/4'' by 11' 6_1/2'' ] how do I do this without converting dimensions to decimal, or the part that is in inches to a single fraction??
I have attached a plant layout of equipment, I'm trying to sketch.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
I test the Creo Cabling application to realize the wiring harness in 3D, and I test the HMX module to do a flattening of my harness in order to create a 2D plane.
In my 3D harness, i use electrical components like connectors, spades and relays, I use bundle for the dressing and I use accessories like Closing rings, clamps and T-Blocks ...
My problem concerns the management of T-blocks, because I have problems of alignment between my sheaths and my T-blocks on the 2D flattening, see the pictures below.
Is anyone also using T-blocks in this harness

Hi,
I have a parameter which is the mean of other two input parameters. In a note it appears as upper and lower limit of the mean with a tolerance of +/-0.2. I don't know where the value of the tolerance comes from.
Does any one has an idea of what's happening?
I attached an image to make the things clearer.
The "&ECCENTRICITY_HEIGHT:1" is the mean of the "&ECCENTRICITY_HEIGHT_H_MIN:1" and "&ECCENTRICITY_HEIGHT_H_MAX:1" defined so in a relation. So instead of having a plain "10" displayed, I have a "10.2/9.8" display.
Thanks,
Nic.
I did a manual install of Prime 4.0 on a clean out-of-the-box Windows 7 virtual machine. Nothing else installed, firewall turned off, and no virus software. that worked fine.
I copied the resulting mathcad.p.xml file and placed that in the same location as the installer.
After uninstalling Prime 4 and all related components, I then ran this command:
"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ptc\Mathcad Prime 4.0\setup.exe" -xml "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ptc\Mathcad Prime 4.0\mathcad.p.xml"
The install fails immediately, with this error:

I have a call open with PTC, but so far no answers.
Anyone out here have an idea what's going on????
I have a solid piece of mastic which is heated and formed around a sheet metal door. I can convert it to sheetmetal and make bends so it kind of forms around the contour of the door. I think two Spinal Bends will form it around the door surface? Is there a transaction (WARP?, WRAP?) that will completely form the solid around the door surface? Grey is the solid and blue is the copy geom surface. This is a part, not an assembly. Thank you
Hello all,
I have been trying to find a way to draft multiple protrusions all at once. Is this possible or will I have to individually draft all these protrusions?
In the screen shot, I need to draft all 8. I have been trying to use Seed/Boundary sets, but no go.
If you know how, please reply with specific steps. I have even tried a simpler model with just 2 posts and I can't find a single draft setup.
Thanks!
I would like to setup J-LINK for creo 2.0 , Can somebody tell which version for java to be download and where we get the older version of java.
I have a general question about using Change notice number in the drawing title block or in the revision table.
Currently we are showing this information on all our drawings. We were wondering if this information is really required.
What are the uses of showing this information? is it an industry or any standard requirement? ANSI/ASME or ISO?
Are other companies also showing this information on the drawings?
Can anyone share this information?
I Just want to know whether to select synchronous & asynchronous application for my Project.
Hello all, recently I posted a discussion about the virtues of N-sided surfaces. It was suggested that there is a more robust way of creating the same surface using more traditional means, probably using Boundary Blend & an over build method. It was also suggested that this N-sided surface feature is already classed an obsolete feature & may become completely obsolete in the future. Like I said in my original post, that would be a shame, in fact it would cause me real pain. All that being said, I thought I would try create my typical N-sided surface using Boundary Blend & over build method. I have to say, I have not had much success. There is an old posting showing some very useful tips for dealing with 3, 5 & 6 sided boundaries. I have tried to apply what I saw there but cannot achieve anything close to the quality of the surface I have attached. Anyone want to give it a go?
I have attached the model, unfortunately I got a bit carried away an made the model using Creo 4. I appreciate most people are using Creo 3 & older so I also attached the same surface in igs format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
John
