Sketcher dimensions

March 19, 2014, 11:36 am

Item 1:

Is there a config setting that will hold sketcher to a normal amount of decimal places? I have in my config the default_decimal_places set to 3 but sketcher has 12 decimal places when I create a sketch before I edit them.

Item 2:

Another problem I am having in sketcher (per the attachment) is if I edit the dimension in the lower right corner from 2.00 to 3.00 the 2.50 dimension changes to 2.5000000000002 as you can see in the attachment. Sometimes I can not get an even dimension to work at all in one case I needed 6 but sketcher would either be 5.9999999999999 or 6.0000000000001. This is not acceptable for our CFD Analysis models because it creates small gaps between parts and causes meshing error due to small slivers of air between components.

Punch form, exclude surfaces

Hello!

 

I have made a Punch tool off a form that I repeatedly use in Sheetmetal. I use it to make holes. The form has a lot of surfaces. When I want the command to work, I have to select all of the surfaces one by one. Is there a way to select the whole form and deselect the one surface I don’t need?

Assign Mass at point/coordinate system?

I have an IGES model from a supplier for a piece of equipment that will be used on a tractor. The model imported as a set of surfaces so the model mass and center of gravity are currently incorrect. I know what the mass is and I have a rough idea of the center of gravity so I would like to assign these values to the imported model so that the CG and mass in my tractor model is correct. The problem is, I can't seem to figure out how to assign mass to a point. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

Is it possible to use the revolve tool on a curve created with the style tool (from surfaces in the model tab)? I can revolve a simple curve created with the sketch tool, but not with the style function. If this is possible, could someone please point me to a tutorial?

 

Cheers.

Creating angular and diametral quotations

Hello, how do you create angular and diametral quotations with creo parametric ? Here is the project I'm working on :

 

2014-03-23_14h14_58.png

 

 

 

 

When I quotate with the tool 'quotation', it only quotates radius of the circles, and not diameter. I also need to quotate the angle between the vertical plan going through the center of the part and one of the circle located on an given radius (as you can notice, there are 6 circles exactly the same, located on the same radius but with an incremental angle of 60 degrees). How can I do that withouth creating another line going from the center of the part to the center of

one of these circles, like I have done on the below example. I know it's possible because when I select 'add annotations to this view', this angular cotation is added without any additionnal line. I thought it was possible to hide this line but it's not.

Thanks in advance for your help !

Everything in the viewport disappears when I start a new action.  I have to move the view (pan, zoom, or etc.) to see anything again.  Is this a settings issue or a computer issue?   I have been using CoCreate at work for many years, I just loaded this free version on to my personal computer.

Hi everyone, i am doing a project in which i am required to design a case/ tablet holder and the product i have chosen is the iPad mini, i have downloaded the STEP file from the internet and have managed to import it into creo, however i need help editing the cad file as i want to build directly on top of the cad model and i do not know how to do so, last time i used datum planes but that took really long because i was not able to edit the CAD file directly instead i was making a case for the device manually.

Modelling of Rubber components

Hello PTC team,

 

Here in my organization we want to create a rubber boot. For that boot when it is called in an assembly we want to change it's length & 2 diameters but at the same time want to keep the volume of that boot constant.

In short we want the boot to have constant weight even if anyone changes the dimension as per his requirement.

 

Let me know if any more information is required from me.

 

Thanks,

part change requires revision of assembly?

March 25, 2014, 8:31 am

We are using Windchill 9.1 and WF5.0.

 

A user has an assembly consisting of a guard door, a hinge, and a frame.   The hinge is mounted to the frame and the door is mounted to the hinge.  All parts are checked into PDM in the RELEASED state (read only in our world).

 

The user revises the guard door to move the mounting holes.  This is done by editing a dimension, so all the references are the same.   The part updates and is checked back into PDM and goes through our standard process to get promoted back to the RELEASED state.

 

Upon opening the assembly, the assembly indicates that it is modified and wants to be regened.   We want to get the assembly happy, but we don' t want to have to create a revision of the assembly just because the door changed.   The assembly still consists of the same parts assembled in the same manner.

 

I believe I have all mass property calcs turned off for the assembly.

 

Any thoughts on how to prevent having to create a revision of the assembly just because a part was modified (causing parts to move around in the assembly)?

I created ball raceway with helical sweep cut.

 

I can't manage to assembly 20 balls onto the raceway.

 

All balls must touch each other and must be tangent to the worm gear.

 

I tried to get curve from helical sweep but i couldn't achieve it.

Help: Creo 2.0 Save a Copy, drw has lost parameters.

I require help.

 

I have created a drawing template that calls parameters from Windchill 10.1 (3D Model state: &PROI_RELEASE and rev: &PTC_WM_VERSION, drawing state: &PROI_RELEASE:D, ver: &PROI_VERSION:D, and rev: : &PTC_WM_REVISION:D ...

 

It was pointed out to me today that when a user performs a "Save As" "Save a Copy" from Creo on the part, not all the parameters copy in the copied drawing - many turn into the text ***.

 

drw_issue_original.png

^Original   

drw_issue_copied.png

^Copy ... note: State for the 3D model, and the drawings state and version converted to ***

 

Why does this happen? How can I get it to save correctly?

Importing DXF without losing text.

Hi

 

I was wondering whether there's away of import DXF into Creo 2.0 without losing the text.

 

The only way I have found so far to do this import the DXF into a drawing then save it as a DXF but changing the text to stoke lines and then importing it in the model. It works but the I have no way of moving or changing the text.

 

The DXF files I am trying to import come from Cadence a PCB tool.

 

Any help would be great thank you

Hey all,

 

I've modeled welds into my assembly using the Weld Application, and I would like the associated symbols to appear in the drawing I've created for it, however I don't want the weld surface features to appear in the drawing.  Currently I'm getting the opposite, with weld's surface features in the drawing with no weld symbols.  I've tried to play around with the layer tree to fix this problem, but I've been striking out with it.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Cosmetic Thread Line Weight in Drawing Creo Parametric 2.0

Hey all, I've searched around for a solution to this but am coming up empty and could use your help.

 

I've got a bunch of screw machine parts with a variety of threads.  I'd like to use cosmetic threads to keep things from getting cluttered on smaller threads. 

 

Two things:

 

1) how can I increase the line weight of the dashed/hidden line of the cosmetic thread in the drawing? when I export and print the dashed lines are very light and could easily be missed by an operator

 

2) is there a way to show external threads in a side view without using a cross section?

 

Thanks for the help!
