I wound up doing the following. I made the skeleton part file, and did two extrudes in a family table to split this in half. Then I made a design assembly with both skeleton halves and created parts in that assembly that will be the true halves, then did a merge/inheritance option so each half...
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...
I'll look into this Findmymother.exe. Thanks. I'll have to get my Admin's approval on it before I download and install any executable file so hopefully I can find some information on it.
Ah, I see. Well that makes my job more difficult. Thanks! Do you know on the offchance that if I change a part name and forget to pull a certain assembly into session, that It can locate it on the new name without having to rename the part back to the name the assembly used to reference? If I...
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...
I do have backups of all my files on another network drive and most of my work is saved on a separate network drive so no data is pulled from my local machine save the license files now. I have no indications in my event log of a potential HDD issue although I may have missed it. The file that...
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...
Surfacing can almost be its own discipline because there is so much you can do with it. Do you have an image or a detailed account of exactly what you are trying to do? As for tutorials there is a good surfacing one entitled "Pro/Engineer 2001 Pro/Surface Topic Collection." It's a PDF from PTC...
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!
Jeff,
This may not be exactly what you are going for but when I have critical dimensions on a drawing file I put a Note number in a triangle from my sketcher palette and then add that to my note tree in the left. For example next to the .540 but a /1\ and then on the notes on the side of...
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...
Nevermind, Figured it out. Apparently I wasn't waiting for the design analysis to finish. My computer sounds completely silent, I didn't know it was still processing in the background.
Let me add that the model files are indeed in the appropriate directory. Hence me being confused by this prompt, especially with no mesh or design errors.
