Model color schemes

$
0
0

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.

Creo View 3 doesn't load on a particular computer for a single user

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.

Creo View 3.0 M030 with Internet Explorer (IE) 11

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?

Is it possible to change the colours of the parts in an assembly in Creo View Express?

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.

Multiple-cut section views in drawings

$
0
0

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.

ProductView and Google Chrome

All,

 

I've been trying to get ProductView to work with the Google Chrome browser, but to no avail. ProductView works fine with IE and Firefox, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times to get the same results.

 

Does anyone know how to get google chrome to work with ProductView? It'd be nice to use a good/fast browser with Windchill, but ProductView is kind of necessary for me.

 

Also, as another side question - Firefox doesn't seem to want to find related items when placing parts in a workspace, Change Notice, etc. It just freezes while "processing". Anyone know how to fix this as well? This isn't as important if Google Chrome can be fixed.

Creo View Drawing Compare

$

Creo View Drawing Compare.. seems like we took something that should be easy and made it very hard. Why can't I find the drawing I want to compare two seperate revisions or iterations of that I find on the details page with the history tab, select the two objects and choose open in CREO VIEW. Then In Creo View I should be able to do something as easy as select the two and pick a compare action.

 

What is the deal with adding to clipboard "and you cannot add them both from the history tab, it claims it adds them but it dosn't". You have to go to each of the objects detail page in order to have the drawings show up on the clip board. Now you have to go to the clipboard and select both objects and choose to open in Creo view.

 

Once you get the objects in Creo.. not very intuitive regarding the compare option or getting the overlay of the two drawings....

wtPart Visualization Update

I have the need to be able to update the visualization for wtParts that are connected to EPMDocument. Use case is that I had a wtPart associated to the wrong EPMDocument. I unassociated and then associated to the correct one. However, I get a screen with a pyramid and I cannot get a viewable. How do I get a viewable to generate without opening up in CREO and checking it in?

I am on Windchill 10.1 m020.

wtPart Description page icon for viewable.

Product View: PDFs will not open

I have a user that cannot open PDFs from his computer with Product View. The output is a blank screen. The message that appears when right clicking on the file name and Open in a New Window is that he does not have the Collective Document Collaboration option installed. I do not receive this message with any other user. I can remote in to his computer and open a PDF fine but sitting at his computer at his desk, I cannot. His other standalone PDFs open fine for him. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Product View with the same results. Adobe Reader 9 is properly installed. Any suggestions ? Thanks.

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 everybody,

 

I wonder how I can define the width of the lines when I use:

 

File => Save Current View As => Save as 2D Vector File  => PDF

 

I didn't find any recipe or pen table file I could use for this. Or is it simply not possible to Change something here in CV?

 

I used CV3.1 MCAD when trying this.

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

In the CreoView Adapter on the CADWorker, where is the control for having it publish WITHOUT showing datums (planes, axes, coord systems)?

$

I'm using Windchill 10.1.  My CADWorker is a virtual machine Windows box.  We just upgraded to Creo 3.0 from 2.0 and I kinda lost recipe files and whatnot in the upgrade, but I've gotten the thing to work (thank you Shamsher!).  Only, now when it publishes, all the bloody datums are visible.  Every drawing kinda looks like a chia pet!  Where do you turn those things off?  I put in a config.pro on the box so that display_axes, etc, would be turned off when it starts up.  I also went through the recipe file and turned off the 'tessellated datums' choice, but every drawing still comes out with axes, planes, and c-sys's.

 

li'l help, please?

creo viewer weld symbols and dimensions disappear

Using Creo 3.0 and creating multiple view states. All is fine and good in creo, but once we publish to the viewer (creo viewer light) we are missing complete welds or just the leader lines, and sometimes dimensions. This seems to only occur on assemblies that are rather big (4000 + features) Currently on build M030 and windchill 10.2. Exhausted all avenues of help with PTC, even sent them a weldment file and they had the same issues and no clue how to resolve.

Creo View Custom Shortcuts?

$

Hello,

 

I am curious if there is a way to create a custom keyboard shortcut within CREO View. 

 

Specifically, I must change the axis of rotation of one-party many times and am tired of Clicking the party Clicking Edit Properties and then Selecting 'pick from geometry'.

 

Is there a way I could make this function into a quick keyboard shortcut?

 

Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
