    How to get analysis measurement feature into a relation

    Hi again. In my previous post, "Creo Won't Let Me into a Group", I finally did a new installation of Creo 2 M100 and the old problems went away. One problem however remains, so I think this is user-error. I am trying to get an analysis feature into a relation, but all my attempts are failing...

    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    Hello. This is weird. Never run into this before. If I am working in a part file, sometimes I will group many features into a group to clean up the overall tree. I can easily get to all of the features in that group. But now all of a sudden, if I close that file and reopen it, I cannot move...

    Trying to get info for a datum plane crashes Creo

    Hello. I have had this problem for some years and usually just brushed it off. Now, I need to do this and it appears to be a bug in Creo2.0. If I create a datum plane, and then try to do right-click > Info > Feature, Creo crashes. Has anyone else seen this problem? I thought it might be my...

    Making a Zillion Squares in Sketcher with Mapkey

    Hello. I cannot seem to get Mapkeys to do what I want. I have numerous squares that I want to center around individual points in Sketcher (Creo 2). I want to essentially do a macro for drawing the square by choosing a point to build the square about, then letting the mapkey drawing the square...

    Deforming a surface while leaving boundary fixed

    Hi! I have a problem in Creo (any version), and I cannot find a solution to it. Basically the problem can best be described by the attached image. This seems to be a major limit to Creo. Surface boundaries cannot be selected and there is no "magnet" function allowing a desired node to pull...

    Can projected sketch be rendered?

    Hi. I have a question, but I think Creo2 cannot do this. Basically, since when doing a Photolux rendering, projected sketches do not appear on the model, is there a way to tell Creo to take a projected sketch and make it a texture decal, with a desired stroke weight? I want to do this so that...

    Creo cannot access hard drive.

    This is very strange. A new one I have never seen with any program. Creo 3 can see all the computer's drives and can access them all...except one. The D:\ drive. It recognizes that it is there, but when I try to access it, it thinks it is empty and the folder/file list is blank. I have...

    Cgeom will not regen

    Hello. This might turn into a long thread, so I thought I would ask a simple question first, and by itself, maybe it will answer the larger question, without a long diatribe. Simply put, I have a part at a given accuracy. I did a PGEOM of the part and saved it out. Then I attempted to CGEOM...

    Filen name length STILLLLL 31 characters? My rant for the day.

    Gawd! When is PTC going to get with the 21st century and raise the damn characters limit on filenames? In fact, why have a stupid limit at all?!

    Cannot replace Mirrored Merge

    Hello. Apparently, ProE had a solution to this problem, but Creo does not? Simply put, I have a mirrored part and many features added later that reference the original un-mirrored part. I made enough revisions to that original part that it needed a new name and there is the catch...Creo will...

    Creo 2, Buggy as S---!

    I sure hope PTC gets their brains back. Creo 2 is the buggiest v1-like beta crap I've seen in a long time. I am having to spend a solid day fixing what Wildfire had no issues with. Like suppressed features having nothing to do with some other features I'm working on, all of a sudden causing...

    Annoying sketcher problem

    Hi. I cannot find any resolution to this problem anywhere, and maybe someone here has a tip. All I want to do is draw a bunch of squares of equal size in Sketcher, using the Center Rectangle method. I have a bunch of centerlines set up so that I can snap each square to the center of where a...

    Bug in Creo concerning point at intersection of two entities?

    Hi. Was curious if I am experiencing a bug in Creo. (Please see attached image.) Hopefully my graphic does all of the explaining. Thanks for any help! http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c8669101-cdf6-49fc-9f9b-c72f537c7567&file=Isect_Problem.jpg

    Quilts that won't solidify

    Hello, again. I have a question concerning quilts in Creo. I am assuming that if the quilt is "water tight" (no holes in the mesh), then theoretically, the Solidify button should not be grayed out and unavailable. My questions are: 1. Is this necessarily true in all cases of a watertight...

    Sweep Feature has Mad Cow Disease!

    Hello. Has anyone seen this problem before in a Creo2 Sweep? Please see the attached image. Notice that the cut is not following Chain-2 accurately, but instead has "the jitters". I have tried adjusting the Sweep options, but nothing has any effect. Seems like if I specify a trajectory...

    Bug in Creo 2

    I think there is a bug in Creo2 M070. When scaling a model, freeform shapes get all jacked up. They have to be converted to surfaces first before scaling.

    Getting maximum width, height and depth of a freeform object

    Hello, Just wondering if there is a way to get the absolute width, height and depth of a freeform object, in the "world" coordinate system? There is no easy way to find the points on the surface that correspond to the maximum distances. I have looked everywhere for anything that would give me...

    Disappearing Projection

    Hi. I have a problem I have never encountered before. I have a sketch that I am projecting onto some freeform surfaces. It shows up as a yellow projection, indicating all is well. But when I click OK, it does not render. I know it's there, because I can click on its feature, and it appears...

    Making surfaces from existing solid or copygeom

    Hi. I am fairly new to Creo and have a question about how it handles an old feature in ProE. It used to be that you could drop into Legacy mode and copy surfaces off of an existing solid or even a copygeom quilt. That appears gone now in Creo. Is this true? If so, is there an alternative...

    How to build special kind of sweep

    Hi. I have a problem that is maybe harder than it looks. It's not strictly a Revolve, but it's not a Sweep either. Please see attached image for clarification. What to do? :(
