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.


Problem after crash Creo View 3.0 MCAD

Hi all,

 

We have had an issue with PTC Creo View 3.0 (MCAD). First of all, I'm not the actual user of the software, and I'm not too familiar with it.

One of our users however was working in the software when it crashed (do not know why). After the crash he opened the project again, but

when he tried to view the assembly, nothing shows up. The tree shows all parts with a small red x now (see screenshot). Does anybody have

an idea of what went wrong and/or how to fix it? The user spent several hours on the changes, saving regularly, but now has to start over...

 

Thanks in advance

How to update Creo View assembly?

I have used a Creo View model to prepare workshop instructions for assembly. Now that the original Creo model has been updated to next version (New parts added), how do I update my Creo view model? Is there any way to update existing view model OR I have no choice but to again create a full new Creo view assembly?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Volume measurement in Creo View

Hallo,

 

anyone knows how to measure the volume of a model in Creo View?? in the measurements summary I do not see the volume icon like in Creo Parametric, and it seems strange to me to not have such a fundamental tool...

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.

Display CAD files in a website

$

I would like to display our FIRST Robotics robot on our website.  These are the ideal features that a visitor to the website should experience.

1.  They have the ability to select, rotate, scroll, and zoom into the CAD file.

2.  They don't need to install any plugins or other viewing software.

3.  They can select and hide/show parts and assemblies.

4.  They can make parts transparent.

 

I'd be happy with the first one, but the others would be nice to have.  How can this be done with with CREO part and assembly files?  Does anyone have a link to a website that is already set up like this as an example.

 

Thanks,

Using ProductView Express as embedded viewer

$

To all programmers,

 

We want to use the ProductView Express OCX in our own Windows Application (programmed in VB.Net) to view our ProductView files.

So we downloaded the latest version (ProductView Express 9.1, M061 build 27) and dropped the "pview Control" (AxpviewLib.Axpview) into our application.

 

So far, the OCX seems useless as we can't load any *.ed or *.pvz.

 

How can we use the ProductView Express in our own VB.Net application?

 

Any help is appreciated!

How to get annotations displayed in Creo View's 'Viewables'

$
0
0

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.

Has anyone had success opening a .pvz file using the CREO View mobile app on an iPad?

The .pvz file I am testing with is 25MB and is located on BOX.com (cloud-based storage).

I get the iPad equivalet to an hourglass in the CREO View mobile app.

 

Thanks.

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.

Placement disapperaed

Hello!

 

Im from germany, so please don't mind my bad english :-)

I've got a problem with Creo Parametric 3.0 on Windows 10 (64bit)

The last weeks Creo works fine, but today I grabed accidentally my "Platzierung/Placement" button and now all the parameters disappeared.

Screenshot 2015-12-14 08.21.20.png

I can't do any new placements now.

I already restart the system 2 times and completly reinstalled my Creo Software. The other buttons (Bewegung/move) working fine!

The only thing I can do is "Alt +Tab" to make the Placement window visible, but I can't change anythink because when I click on it, it disappears again.

 

Thanks a lot for your help, and have a nice day!

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....

Does somebody know how to customize render mode in Creo Illustrate?

E.g. two different modes for big and smaller assemblies with different line thickness.

Or customize the % of color for white shaded illustration.

 

I searched in config folder (all the *.xml files) but didn’t find anything.


Creo View printing black page

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

Creo View opens pdf in Adobe Reader with error-message.

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?

Creoview 2 or 3 changes degree and diameter symbols to tilde and "n"

$

On several of our workstations, whenever a dxf/dwg thumbnail drawing is created and viewed in Windchill 10.1, using Creoview Lite 2 or 3 (tried all revisions) the degree and diameter symbols on the screen (and in print) turn into the wrong font mapped symbol and become a tilde and a lowercase "n" -- this only happens with specific machines. Windows 7, 64bit. Others display the same symbols on the same drawings just fine. Different video cards in these PCs/laptops. Tried latest video drivers. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. See graphic.
