Save a display of displayed parts and assemblies on Direct Modeling 17.0?
Hello,
Is there any way to in a big assembly retaining visualization of parts and subassemblies (hide and unhide).
I mean, I have a lot of parts hide and unhide in my structure browser, Is it possible to save this?
I want to change the display of displayed parts (hide and unhide) and quickly return to the previous visualization in a simple way.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Connect 2 faces to create a solid object
Hi community people,
I am VERY unfamiliar with 3D drawing tools, so please bear with me...
I am trying to create an object, which "almost" is a 2-D drawing, which must be pulled 30mm.
But the Top/Bottom surfaces are a little bit different.
I have tried to define 2 surfaces "Top"/"Bottom", but I do not know how to combine these and add the missing surfaces.
I have tried to use "Gather Faces" without success
Am I doing it totally wrong?
Best regards
Martin
PS: I am using "CREO Elements Direct".

Is there a way to connect part without viewset to drawing of part?
We have a couple of users here who somehow lose associativity between drawings in annotator and parts in modeling but the viewsets are still in the model so I can re-associate them. But somehow the users are saving parts that a drawing was made from but the viewset is not available...any ideas if it is possible to re-associate a drawing to a part without a viewset?
Thanks!

Is possible to modify name settings of shared parts?
Hi,
When i make a multiple shared parts the program automaticaly gives the same name.different number of each part (the number is from .1 to .XX) :
When in the structure browser the program put shared parts, the order is not correct because the order put first all the .1X parts second .2X parts etc.This is no logical order.
For me one way to do it right is give another range of names like (the number from .01 to .XX):
Is possible change some setting to do it autiomatically on Direct/Modeling V.17?

Load Parts in Saved Position
We have a global work plane that we use to keep everything in the right position/orientation, but sometimes when we load parts that have been saved in the correct spot, they load in the wrong place. We thought maybe it has to do with a setting for loading parts, but we didn't have much luck looking through the settings. Any idea why this might happen? Most of the parts I load show up in the position that I saved them in, but my colleague does not always have the same luck.

Creo Elements v19 won't load, stuck w/ vport
Hello All,
So I was opening a known valid .pkg file earlier this afternoon when instead of loading the file, the window below appeared. Despite my best efforts I cannot get anything to load here or do anything other than close this window.
I've checked with other Creo Element v19 users in my group and none are experiencing this issue. I've also tried uninstalling/reinstalling the software without any luck and making sure my Registry matches what other users have. Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so, what causes it and how do we fix it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Is it possible to edit the ribbon menu in ModelManager?
Is it possible to edit the ribbon menu in ModelManager? I want to add a button to toggle the BOM module on and off. This way users can quickly turn it on to create a BOM and then turn it off to release the BOM license for others to use.
Thanks

Is there a way of converting a Creo Elements/Direct model into a ProE (.prt) format or other common format? as I am trying to get a quote from a company who are unable to read the PK2 or BD2 format
Is there a way of converting a Creo Elements/Direct model into a ProE (.prt) format or other common format? as I am trying to get a quote from a company who are unable to read the PK2 or BD2 format. They can also read all the common formats like .sldprt, .igs .stp .sat .ipt and .dwg etc. So a converter for any of these would be great. I have failed to find any such converters within the Creo Elements/Direct package I have.

Is there a integration kit command to load a drawing into Annotation from Model Manager?
I've had great success using sd-db-element-load to load models from Model Manager into modeling.
After setting the model and version to a couple variables: LOAD_MODEL M_VERSION the following command loads models perfectly:
Example (oli:sd-db-element-load :identifier (format nil "~A,~A" LOAD_MODEL M_VERSION) :database-type :model :load-mode :full)
How would I do the same thing with a drawing?

Change ModelManager Step Export Properties
Hello,
When using the STEP-Export option under "Generate Standard Format" the exported Elements do not have the expected names.
Their names are the content of the field "Description" instead of the "name" field's content. This makes it difficult to recreate the correct structure afterwords.
So I was wandering if there is any way to change that.
I was hoping to find e.g. an xml file where I can set some parameter from let's say "modelname = description" to "modelname = name" but didn't succeed so far.
Any ideas on this matter is welcome,
Thanks,
Lisa

How to do exception handling in CE/D Lisp?
As part of my Creo Elements/Direct customization, I am trying to do some basic exception handling in Lisp. For Common Lisp, the internet seems to recommend using the handler-case macro. When I run
(do-symbols (s (find-package "lisp"))
(display s))
in the Creo input line, handler-case is indeed listed. But when I try to run code that uses it I always get "LISP error: The function HANDLER-CASE is undefined." Am I missing something or is there some other method of doing exception handling that is preferred?
If you'd like a toy example to test with, here's a divider that instead of throwing an arith-error (e.g. on divide-by-zero), returns nil instead. Putting this into the input line defines the function fine, but calling it results in the "function undefined" error. I tried replacing handler-case with lisp::handler-case and a few others with no luck.
(defun my-safe-divider (a b)
(handler-case (/ a b)
(arith-error nil)))
Any help appreciated,

Model Manager: Is there a way to export a "Master BOM"? Or write "Scripts" for MM?
My configuration control experience is limited, but it seems like what I trying to accomplish should be possible. I am thinking one of the following options would work for me, but I don't know what is possible in Creo Elements/Direct Model/Drawing Manager (17.0).
1) I have a large assembly, which in addition to having many individual components it also has many sub-assemblies as its components. I would like to be able to EXPORT a BOM for the top level assembly and for all of the sub-assemblies, and so and so forth. I know that this can generate a lot of data, but i want to be able to cross reference the BOMs to our storage facility to make sure we have received all the parts.
2) A second, not as efficient, method would be if there was a way to write a script that could take a list of part numbers as input and then output the BOMs individually. Is there any way to interact with Model Manager via scripting?

I have a .lisp file that I have to continually drag and drop into Creo Elements Direct 18.10 for it to work. Is it possible to have it located in a folder and create a toolbar button that will go out and load it instead of having to drag and drop it?
