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.

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?

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.

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...

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!

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.

Vladimir.

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


Dave

Hello everyone,

 

I' m realy struggeling with the customization of creo view 3.0 for our users. For the preferences I'm using the *pref.xml files like shared_pred.xml.

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

$

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.

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.

Republish Out Of Date

So I've gone through and have set up my test system and the properties on it to republish out of date items.  So I changed a component that is used in an assembly.  The assembly doesn't start republishing. doesn't watermark the picture on the Details page and does not even register or show up when you Schedule a job to RepublishAllOutOfDateRepresentations.  I am on Windchill M030-CPS09 with the latest adapters which are M032.  Anyone have any ideas of how to get this to work?

adapter/dglTolPerc=

I am looking for more info on setting the following line in the recipe file, most importantly, the potential negative affects (Larger file sizes, longer publishing times).  I do not find any information on it in the PTC KB, I am curious if anyone has played around with this setting much.

 

For the most part, the way our system is currently set up is acceptable.  Most parts publish with satisfactory accuracy.  However, some parts (i.e. a small part with a large copy geometry surface) will publish with terrible accuracy.  Setting this in the RCP to .001 does solve the issue, I am just curious if it has any unintentional drawbacks.

Exporting a projection

$

Hi all,

I work with a client who uses ProE for medical device design. They export their files to obj's and I bring them into Cinema 4D for product rendering and animation. The models have are etched with scale marks, product numbering, co. logo, etc. The etching design is saved in the ProE file as a "projection", which does not come through in the obj file. Does anyone know if there is a way for them to save this projection as a jpeg or pdf so I can map it onto the models in C4D?

 

The engineer who is my contact seems to have limited energy to figure this out independently, so I would appreciate a fairly detailed a step by step if possible.

 

Thank you, David

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.
