Unknown Model Tree Icon/Feature?

[CS2KPLUS]

All,

I am helping someone out. We are on Creo 3. See attached. What are the parts with grey box and dashed line outlines? Seems like an assembly feature driven item like flexible assembly???

Thanks,

WayneF

The thumbnail is too small to see the icons easily, but it looks similar to the icon for hidden components. If I am correct, then to see the component just right-click & select Unhide. If you need to permanently unhide the component, you will need to save the layer status.

I agree, it's pretty hard to read, but they also could be "included"components.

These are components that you want to show up in the BOM but not on screen. You'll find the "include" command under the "assemble" drop down menu.

If you want to place them, you can right click on them and select edit definition and you'll be taken to the placement dashboard where you can define constraints. I don't think you can go back, however, without deleting it and re-including it.

U got it Doug! Thanks!

BTW...is there anything going on with PTC community? I am having trouble getting into site due to a certificate issue. May be on my side. But not seeing the usual emails I generally get either.

They switched backend software on the PTC Community so all the URLs changed and you'll need to resubscribe to the areas you're interested in. The old URLs should redirect, however. I just tried ptcusercommunity.com and it redirected to community.ptc.com just fine.

Once there, you log in at the top right. Then browse to the Creo area and scroll down to see the various communities. They've simplified them a lot so there's basically "modelling" and "other" (there is discussion of adding back more). Click on one of them and in the top right you'll see "options" and under that is subscribe. There is also a "browse" drop down at the upper left for more communities.

There are a number of bugs with the new software (Lithium) and changes to layout etc. that are in the works.

Spammer, I reported him for replying nonsense on other threads. The goal is to get his signature link out there.
