So I'm designing a tool that has two clam shell halves to it. I designed the overall final product as a skeleton, and now I want to use this skeleton to propagate the geometry to the halves, however we do not have the advanced assembly extension here so copy/publish geometry is not available...
Initially I designed certain components for let's call it Assembly 1, so they were all in the Assembly 1 folder. There was no point in putting them in my library for this reason. Over the following 5 years we slowly developed products similar but different to Assembly 1 that share a lot of...
Is there any way to get Creo 2.0 to rename the features? For example as I design I may have Extrude 1, Extrude 2, Offset 1, Solidify 1, Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, etc. But then as I go and do cost reductions I remove and reorder some features so my model tree may look like Extrude 1, Round 11...
Hi guys,
I'm creating a plastic rotationally molded part with the parting line in the middle. I'm trying to extrude surfaces with a 1 degree taper however I am having issues with tiny surfaces appearing. It appears that both surfaces are tapering normal to the sketch; despite both sketches...
Hey guys. Major problem I'm having here. We updated to Creo 2.0 from Wildfire 4.0 about two weeks ago. I haven't switched over however due to me being in the middle of a big design project that had to get finished. Two weeks go by, no real issues. Yesterday, however, in the process of me...
This forum alone has turned me from a college student who could barely make a threaded screw to a full time design engineer. I owe a lot of it to you guys. No specific questions here, I just want to say thank you for all your patience and I hope you all have had a Happy Holiday!
I am making a sheetmetal belt of sorts, and my first feature is a revolved wall at 341 degrees. Now I have to bend and unbend this as I need to put thru holes in it and some have to be applied to the as designed form and some to the flat pattern. Problem is if I put the holes in while in a...
Is there any way to do this? I use a lot of crushproof vacuum hose in my designs, and the hose has the counter threaded spiral ribs on it. I would like to be able to save this section, this way when I make an assembly in which I need a hose I could define the trajectory in the assembly and apply...
I am having immense frustration with WF 4.0 right now. I have a toolkit that has a lid that opens and closes under a gas shock. In my model file I created two snapshots, one with the lid open, the other with the lid closed. I then defined different exploded views using these open and closed...
I am trying to run a structural analysis on 2 PVC wheels with a rigid axle in between, putting the force on the axle and showing the displacement and stress on the wheels themselves only.
Whenever I try to run Mechanica analysis' like this I always get the same error. It meshes fine, the design...
I am trying to make a Left handed thread that allows a device to screw onto a 3/4" threaded vacuum hose. I can get the threads themselves in, but I can not figure out the best way to have them taper. T2.jpg is the original way I had it with the straight profile, and that gives me a huge ledge at...
Can somebody please lend me some advice on what to do about these Datum axis tags? I always get this issue when trying to print them. I cannot move the tag when looking directly down the axis (and it isn't really an option for me to rotate the view since this needs to be a flat on view) and the...
Hi all,
I was curious as to what the suggested pre-treatment options are for Al Alloys prior to powdercoating? We primarily use 6061-T6/T6511 and 5052-H32, and I currently am calling out a 5 stage Iron Phosphate pre-treatment but upon doing some research I am seeing a lot along the lines...
I have a bunch of piping that I am having difficulty arranging in a repeat region. The piping is listed as 16WT300_lengthinfeet. So if I have 4 pieces of 16WT300_2 and 3 pieces of 16WT300_4 my total length of 16WT300 is 20. Since the suffix of the names is different it won't combine the piping...
I've been in the industry for about a year doing design work/drafting, and for the love of me I cannot figure this out. Sometimes dimensions will show as nominal in my drawing, and the nominal box will be greyed out. Other times I can change the nominal value within the drawing itself, and...
I am trying to make a fixture that can hold a brush tip so it can be easily cut in a bandsaw in exactly the right place. The contour of the brush requires a swept blend, and while I can model the protrusion no problem i seem to be having difficulty making the same shape as a cut. So I was...
Hi all,
New to this site. I had a question regarding default component interface assignment. I have family tables set up for different types of Pneumatic conveying pipes based on the pipe diameter and whether or not the ends are straight or expanded. Everything works fine until I get to...
