Hi Everyone,
I'm having problems with some of our stations (mostly laptops with onboard intel graphics) which are working with Creo View 2.0. The program is able to open and view models and drawings but when the user selects print the image prints as a solid black page. This is repeatable accross all printers and even print to PDF converters. Has anyone seen this before and is there a known fix?
Thanks
Dave
I'm not entirely sure what to accurately call these, so I haven't had much luck in finding help creating such. At the moment, I'm working to take 2D AutoCAD drawings and turning them into 3D Creo Parametric 2.0 models as well as to recreate the drawings in Creo. In particular, I'm floundering on how to make more complex section views display in my drawings.
Attached is a simplified ref of the original AutoCAD views I'm trying to replicate. I can cut it like the model via an actual extrude but I can't figure out how to get a view looking flat at both cut faces at once. I've also tried to create a xsec with two datum planes in the model itself to then put on the drawing as a 3D cross section, but at that point the view doesn't display the two cutting planes as flat, instead displaying the angled side as coming out of the page and as such a portion of the outer surface is displayed and any attempt to dimension on the view is rendered skewed and worthless.
As an additional little question, where's the option to exclude a part from showing as cut in a cross section of an assembly drawing? With cutting a cylinder I'd like to leave the piston rod fully displayed but cut through all other components.
Any pointers into the right direction for what I'm overlooking would be much appreciated.
Hi All
I am experiencing an issue with Creo View 1.0 Lite and hope you can help me find a solution.
When I click on a link to open a file from Windchill, the Internet Explorer starts Creo Viewer as expected.
But the Creo Viewer does not show the pdf-file.
The pdf-file is opened by Adobe Reader while Creo Viewer presents me with the error-message:
"Failed to load the file. Check the Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader Installation."
How do I configure Creo Viewer to show the pdf and not try to use Adobe Reader?
Hello,
does anyone know if it is possible to display models with transparency in PV? I am using PV 9.1 Lite M050 and I am watching the following behavior:
Opening a native Pro/E model (which has been assigned a color withtransparency) in PV, the model is transparent in PV. And I cannot change the display in PV to "don't display transparency".
Exporting the model to *.pvz and opening this in PV causes the transparency getting lost... in PV the model is displayed in non-transparency.
Is there a way to switch transparency??? Either when exporting to pvs, ed, pvz or is there an option in PV???
Thanks,
Andreas

Is there a resource or anything that goes into detail about watermarks for Creo View files? Searching the Tech Support files really doesn't cover the basics. The lone PDF I found covered watermarks in two half-filled pages that provide no help at all. I'm just looking for something to help me stumble through creation and implementation less than I currently am. Trial-and-error just isn't cutting it.
Does anyone know how to force Creo View to use Document Mode 8 with Internet Explorer 11? We are running Windchill 10.1 M050, Creo Parametric 2.0 M140 and Creo View 3.0 M030. According to the PTC literature, all of these versions should be compatible with IE 11. We had to force Windchill to load in Document Mode 8 in order to get it to work. We are having an issue with Creo View, however, where it will not load CAD drawing or other images because its default IE document mode is 5. When using F12 to go to developer mode, we can manually change the document mode to 8 and then the image loads properly; however, as soon as a new Creo View session is loaded, the document mode defaults back to 5 and won't work again.
Any ideas how to force Creo View to always use document mode 8 with IE 11?
Good morning to everybody,
perhaps someone of you have a solution for this problem:
I have defined some Combined States in a Creo assembly.
Some 3D annotations are assigned to specific combined states so that every state displays only certain annotations. This works fine in Creo Parametric 2 and 3.
I want these Combined states to be available under the "Viewables" Tab in Creo View (Lite).
I am using the RCP editor to configure the output of pvs/pvz files.
And in Creo I set the config option "intf_out_pvs_recipe_file" to the rcp file.
My problem:
When I export a PVS/PVZ file from Creo 2 (M180) the combined states are available in CreoView 3 (M031) as "Viewables", BUT annotations are shown in "Master View" only. The Combined States/Viewables doesn't show any annotations.
When I use Creo 3 Parametric (M060) and the same rcp file for export to PVZ/PVS) then the notes/annotations are shown in CreoView 3 (M031). Creo 3 seems to use another option for this type of export.
My question:
Does anybody know if there is a config/rcp option for Creo 2 Parametric that ensures annotations to be displayed in CreoView Viewables? Our productive version is Croe 2 (and will be 2016), so Creo 3 isn't an option today.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if model parameters can be displayed/viewed in Creo View Express?
Example: In Creo View Express view the user defined model parameter of "Supplier_Partnubmer" that is defined in the pro/e model.
Cheer,

Hi all,
I will be more precise. We have many computers that run Creo Elements 5 M250 and Creo View 3. On a single computer and for a single user it fails to start. If launched as a standalone program from start, programs, etc, it only runs for 1-3 seconds before crashing. It can only be monitored shortly from the task manager, as nothing actually appears. If launched as a plugin of IE or Chrome, I only get a white empty page without anything in it.
The weird thing is that on the same computer, if we logged in as different users, the program works fine. At the same time, if the user logs in on another computer the program works as well.
Unfortunaltely, I have been autorizhed to rebuild his profile on his machine, which I think could help us, so I would like to know if someone has any idea of what I could do to help the user.
I have already unistalled and installed "everything", creo view, creo elements, java, desktop integration, etc. but with no results. The issue is not related to any particular drawing.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Hello all,
is there any way (or workaround) to define various color schemes for a part or assembly model?
For example, when we are working on an assembly, we use different colors to distinguish the different components. Also, at the same time and when we have to make some rendered representations, we have to define some other colors in order to simulate reality as close as possible.
Any ideas? How can someone switch from one color scheme to the other?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to open 3D files (from CREO) on Android tablet?
I created several snapshots to make an animation with in Creo Parametric. I created the key frame sequence, but when I try to play the animation I keep getting the following error "Key frame sequence Kfs1 invalidated and will be ignored." What does this mean? How did I get an invalidated key frame sequence and how can I correct it? Has anyone had this problem before? I am not sure where to start because I did the process exactly as I have before, and it worked previously.
La última semana se instaló la última actualización del PTC Creo en el departamento de diseño mecánico de la empresa.
Hasta ese momento yo era capaz de ver los diseños generados con PTC Creo con mi PTC Creo Viewer express, pero a partir de ese momento no he sido capaz de ver ningún plano de conjunto (si las piezas sueltas).
Se trata de un bug?
He de realizar alguna otra acción?, probé a descargarme nuevamente la última versión del visor y tampoco fuí capaz.
GRACIAS
Hello, everyone.
I would like to know if it is possible to change the colours of the parts in an assembly in Creo View Express.
I have some problems with visualization of the plastic injection mould in Creo View Express 2.0.
The plates that were grey in Creo Parametric become black in Creo View Express. And some of them are represented in a wireframe mode.
So it's difficult to distinguish one part from another.
You can see what I mean in the pictures below.
Thanks in advance.
Vladimir.
Hello,
When we convert in "positionning assembly" an assembly which is an ESR, content of representation is empty.
I know there is a case about this problem :
CS134023
In structure tab in Windchill, we can see a good representation of the assembly in the representation window.
Is there really no solution ?
To convert assembly in normal mode is not a solution for us. because our assemblies are big assemblies.
We have to convert all of them in "Positionning assembly".
I have started to install the Adobe LC ES4 SP1 on the Windows 7 Pro 64-bit as our Test Publisher. It works fine without any issue in MS Office 2010 publishing.
When moving to install it as Production system, it is installed on a VMWare with Windows 2008 R2 64-bit. It has more memory (16 GB) and faster CPU speed. However, it will not publish the MS Word or Excel document. When testing in the ADMINUI page inside Adobe LifeCycle ES4 SP1 using "Create PDF", I encountered this error:
I have the 32-bit MS Office Professional version installed and activated fine. I am not sure why Adobe LC ES4 SP1 is not picking MS Office to publish, but fall back to OpenOffice in publishing? I have searched the PTC KB and saw the same issue in the past for Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe LC ES3 issue and thought this issue should be resolved. I have Adobe Acrobat XI also coming with the PTC license, so they should be OK.
I sent the Adobe LC ES4 server.log to PTC TS, but found no useful info.
Has anyone had an idea why it would not call MS Office to publish? or may have any solution?
Hello,
I've noticed some dispaly problems through CreoView with a laptop HP Elitebook 840 G2.
It's about an embedded graphics chipset intel HD 5500.
I try to find the best drivers through CreoView.
I have a lot of difficulties to find old drivers in ordert to test it....
But if someone knows the good one, I'm very interested.
Hi,
Can some one from PTC share the Creo View iPad App roadmap?
I am looking mainly for the functionality of the 3D Measurement tool in app.
Thanks,
