Wire won't route through network
I'm having a bit of a problem with a wire routing. When I create a new wire, I am unable to get the routing to process. I am unable to understand why this is, as the following conditions have been met:
1) network is continuous
2) spool is assigned
3) bend radius is adequate
4) the CSYS at both ends are undesignated. (designated on the fly)
5) "allow undesignated" is checked on both start and end locations
6) both CSYS are on the network path
The spool that is being used has been previously used to route hundreds of cables. To add to the frustration, I am unable to find any information regarding why this wire fails. No command feedback, no prompt info, nothing. The last bit of advice at the prompt, is to enter the ending point for the selected routing entry.
Obviously, a solution is great - but along with it, any tips or tricks for diagnosing routing failures would be more than appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Customer ribbon interface
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone could help me with the ribbon interface. I'm trying to add some tabs to the ribbon interface, but I like to add them from number 2 to number 1, like in the attached document. I was wondering if someone could help me with this?

Need to get max. dimension (LXB) of a part using mapkey/Relations
Hi Team,
I am a creo 2 user and looking for a feasable solution in getting "maximum dimension Length & Width of a sheet metal / extruded or plastic part".
1) For basic sheet metal components am able to get the dimensions using Flat pattern preview window, but for complex bent modules am unable to unbend.
Pls. help me to get the unbend dimensions using a map key or formula driven using Relations.
Is there any formula to calculate maximum dimension of a part.
Request anyone to guide me.
Thanks & Regards

Modify end states in Windchill 10.2
Hello All,
We are currently in process of upgrading out customized version of Windchill 9.1 to 10.2. We are wanting much less customization in 10.2 than we had with 9.1 due to problems we had with the old system.
My question is. we want the lifecycle states listed below, and aren't seeing them in the out of the box literature we have seen so far. Are they easily configured or do they take custom code to create?
Thanks! - James Hall
Lifecycle states we have now:
In Work - Under Review - Rework - Reviewed - Approved - Prototype - Released - Superceded - Inactive - Obsolete

VB API how to set the text font / text style in a table using vb api.
Hi All,
I have a VB program who does connect to creo and modify an existing table.
The problem is that it does not use the text font already set in the table.
My font is set to a TTF font "consolas" and height set to 0.09375"
when the program run it change the height to 0.15625" I dont get why!!!!
here is a breif section of the code.

Dim drwTable As IpfcTable = Nothing
Dim cellTxt As String

How to create a helical cable in the Cabling application
Hi friends. I'm researching that how to create helical cable in cabling. I found a method but it's not practical.
My method is;
- Create curve through helical sweep
- Create a ratio datum point that is located on the helical sweep.
- pattern point by increment 0.01
- Route the cable through these points
Disadvantage of this method, there are too much points (about 50-100) and ı have to select these one by one. (can't select as a whole by shift key).
Do you know another method (and more practical) to create a helical cable in the cabling application. Help Please?
Getting the overall dimension of blank without flat pattern
We are facing a problem with sheetmetal. I need the surface area, overall length/breadth of the blank shape of the part. Also the Description of the part should be like "Name x length x breadth x thickness". Now it is possible by using feature parameters in "Flat Pattern". But all the sheetmetal parts in the assembly have unflatten parts (family table instance without flat pattern). All the parts are connected to skelton and updated when the parameters in skelton changed.
But the problem starts when we update the skelton. As the "flat pattern" feature is suppressed in the instances used to create the assembly, the corresponding parameters will not get updated and thereby the Surface Area, Length, Width & Description in BOM is not updating.
We tried the below methods to solve the problem.
1) Open each sheetmetal parts - resume the "flat pattern" - regenerate - suppress - save
But this is a time consuming work and it kills the entire concept of automation. Again manual error happens a lot as the users miss some parts
2) We create unbend all - measure length - save as feature - measure width - save as feature - bend back all.
Then we use the parameters in the measure feature to create the required output. But this method is tiresome to build as we have some 50-60 sheetmetal parts in an assembly and we have to create approx 750 assemblies.
Can anybody suggest a method to find the overall length/width of blank shape (available in flat preview) and connect it to some part parameters without using flat pattern or unbend-measure

Am I making a tessellated sphere correctly in Creo
I need to make a model of a sphere with a sensor screwed into every vertex of a tessilated sphere. My plan at the moment is to calculate those vertices in an external program, import the points into creo, then use the patern tool selecting each datum point. Is there an easier way to do this?
Fasteners Integrity under vibration and shock.
How can I come up with some evaluations of the fasteners load margins under vibration fatigue and shock?
somebody told me to calculated the clamping force and multiply it to damping coeficient. then compare this number to see if it is more than tensilt strength.
I don't know if this is the right way to come up with some margins but if it is then how can I find tensile force on my fastereners in creo results?
should I find the RMS stress on the constraints and multiply it to the area?(P=F/A)

Number of decimals for Datum points
I have to create a bunch of datums points and I am trying to fine tune them, but it is only allowing me to go to 1 decimal point in accuracy. I found out how to set the decimals for each point individually, but I was wondering if there was a global config or other option so that it defaults to 2 or 3 decimals.
Thanks,
Kevin
Lissage entre cercle et rectangle
Bonjour,
Comment peut-on faire un lissage entre un cercle et un rectangle ?
Je n'arrive pas à avoir un résultat correcte, je pense qu'il faut mettre un sommet de missage sur le point de départ or il ne veut pas.

Assembly family table automaticaly creating instances at part level
Hello,
I have a question regarding assembly family tables.
Lets say I have an assembly with three parts, A, B and C. A and B are assembled at a certain distance from each other and C connects parts A and B, and has a variable length.
Now I create an assembly family table where I create multiple instances of the assembly by varying the distance between A and B, the result should be that in each assembly instance part C has a different length. This is ofcourse only possible by creating an instance of C for every instance of the assembly.
Now my question is, is it possible to have Creo create an instance of the part C automaticaly each time I create a new instance at the assembly level?
Or is the only way to achieve this, creating a family table at the part level, and replace part C in each assembly instance by the correct part instance?
Thanks

persistent hidden layers, assemblies and components
Something has changed. I have no idea what. Hope y'all can help.
I try to live by the admonition :"save early and save often"
When I hide a layer or component or assembly, it remains hidden when I re-open the file. This used to not be the case -
I swear, I have NEVER saved layer states. Really. NEVER, EVER.
I renamed my config.pro file (old_config.pro) so the stock config.pro file is loaded (I hope).
The behavior persists.
Any ideas? What have I done?

gun tube rifling
Hello all,
I am trying to create internal rifling in a gun tube and could use some help.
1. I did this using a blend and created multiple cross sections down the axis of the gun tube. It works but is a brute force method and is not elegant. Meaning if you want to control the pitch of that blend, it become more difficult. You would have to figure out the distance between cross sections and their angle of rotation.
2. I tried swept blend and added a twist but that only goes form +/- 120 so if you want more than that it becomes more tricky.
3. I tried a sweep but i could not keep my cross seciton perpendicular to the diameter for the tube.
4. I tried a sweep with a trajpar function using a graph but could not get it to work.
Looking for some help. If someone know how to do this with sweep or trajpar that would be cool. If there is a better way then by all means.
Thank you.
