Setting for the assembly preview window

$

Hello everyone,

 

I'd like to know if there is a possibility to set the size of the preview window that appears when adding a component to an assembly. Maybe a config-setting or something like this.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Best regards

I have created a drawing and saved to DXF format. But the drawing i submitted is not opening in Creo Elements/Direct Modelling Express 4.0.

Requiring ModelManager to be running in order to start Part Library

This was an option we used before.  I do not remember how it was done.  We need to make having ModelManager running a requirement before parts library can start.

 

Does anybody know how to do this?

 

Thank you

Copy a Drawing in Model Manager

$

I have a 3d model that is stored in Model Manager.  The model is associated with a drawing and both have the same Masterdata parent.  This part is now going to be manufactured from a new material in addition to the existing material.  The part geometry will not change however the drawing tolerances and notes should change for the second material.  Is it possible to copy an existing drawing while keeping it linked to the same 3d model?

 

I have tried using the "copy" command in Model Manager.  I copied the drawing from the old masterdata and pasted it into a new masterdata that i created however this command actually just shared the drawing to the new masterdata rather than actually copying the drawing to create a new drawing.

Hi,

 

I find out that going fron a circle in 2D to 3D structure the arc definition is not really good. Do i need to use the Spline tool to rebuild the entire circle or there is another way.

 

PS: sorry for my english, i am french.

Creo 2 on Vista?

$

To all,

 

I was looking to see what system requirements are needed for Creo 2, as I have on my home computer Windows Vista Business.

 

In searching, I have seen a demo where Vista is not listed as what you need (Xp, W7 or W8 is shown), but also seen conversations where people have said they have successfully loaded abd run it on Vista.

 

Can someone tell me if you can or cannot run Creo 2 on a Vista operating system.

Central Communication Part/File to All Upper Level Assemblies

$
0
0

I want to set up a part to be used as a gateway of communication (a flag in case something changes), but at the same time it does not bring into the PDM (Windchill in this case).  I'm thinking of a skeleton part but struggling with the following issues:

 

1.  How do I make changes where outside my modules are affected and they get flagged?  For example, I own the engine and somebody else owns the transmission.  I make a change to the engine, and somehow the transmission owner is "flagged" because the changes happen at the interfaces between engine and transmission.  In this transmission's skeleton should have some features that tie to my engine.  This goes both ways of course.

 

2.  If I establish relation between engine and transmission per #1 but I don't want to bring in unncessary assemblies except my engine, what are some possible solutions?  By copying external geometry and retaining dependencies I now have to bring in the transmission every time I check out the engine in Windchill.  That's not what I want.

 

Anyone in similar situation have any suggestions or recommendations?

Making a conditional statements in "pesd_startup" or "user input line"...

$
0
0

My goal is to create an IF / THEN / ELSE statement in LISP.

To test this I tried to delete "/w1" and "/p1" at startup. (Since some users may have their system to automatically add these at startup.)

 

At a basic level, this works in some cases:

 

  • delete_3d "/w1" complete
  • delete_3d "/p1" complete

 

But if they dont have "/w1" or "/p1" loaded, then it will create an error trying to delete something that isn't there,

 

So I tried to make a conditional statement:

 

I tried this, but after many variations, I had no luck creating an "ELSE" part of the statement

 

  • (if "/w1" (delete_3d "/w1") ( ? ))    ;; IF "/w1" exists delete it, If it doesn't exist, NIL - End statement and continue
  • (if "/p1" (delete_3d "/p1") ( ? ))

 

Does anyone have a solution for this?

request for function to inquire color of 2D geometry on workplane

Currenly I am looking for a IKIT function to inquire the color of a line in a workplane. I did not find any. there is a sd-inq-edge-color but it only returns the color of 3D edges. For geometry on a WP it delivers nil. Also the command edge_2d_prop does not return anything but nil.

Is there any other command or function that returns the color value?

Creo Elements Direct Licensing issue

Hey everyone.

I have been having an issue ever since our previous CAD support person, notice I said previous , modified my system to use floating licenses.

Now everytime I start the application I get a message saying that the portable license has expired dated 11/23/2012.

Yes I have been clearing and closing the window since then because we don't know what he did.

 

Creo error4b.jpg

Also, now I am unable to check out portable licenses using the licensing configuration client.

Creo License2.jpg

Now we aer stumped and his recent response was to re-image my laptop and reinstall the software.

Anyone have experience with this?

We have tried everything.

Thanx

Bill

Is there a possibility to prevent or block user customization in creo elements/direct modeling 18.1? We want to block changes to the ribbon, toolbars, shortcut keys, ...

 

I'll tried to delete the folder "18.1" everytime modeling closes or just before starting, but it doesn't work. Does somebody know another way to do this?

 

thanks in advance
