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.

In Creo View (V3.0 M032), printing multi-sheet drawings (CGM format) will print all sheets by default.  Several people want to have the setting "Current" to be the default.  I have not seen any preference for this.

How to: Cylindrical equal area projection?

$

I have a cylindrical part with surrounding features. Features are non-patterned and non-wrapped projections (i.e all features are created from independent extrudes). I would like to be able to view all of these features similar to a world map (cylindrical equal area projection). However, I have never seen this done in Creo before, is it even a possibility?

Cannot view published representation or documents/dwgs from Windchill

$

Hi Guys:


This one is stumping us. We have setup a Windchill 10.1 M010 test server. We are trying to view the representations and while Creo view loads no representation/drawing comes up in the window. We have tried PTC tech support to no avail so far. Here is what we have tried so far.


- editing the existing (Default) CAD Worker in Windchill  10.1, I configured it to run locally, on the Windchill Application  server.

The Creo Parametric Adapter Configuration was setup to point to Creo  Elements/Pro 5 on the local machine.  There is a PSF for that  installation specifically for use by vis. and the Start Command in the  configuration tool is set to point to that batch file.

- The Windchill>Site>Utilities Worker Configuration Wizard is set to  use the Execute command  D:\ptc\creo_view_adapters\proe_setup\proeworker.bat, Startup Time is set  to 90 seconds.

- That Worker was Reloaded and the Start all was pushed.  After it started  I returned to the Creo Parametric Adapter Configuration tool, the Test  Server button was pushed, but it failed.


- deleted the existing (should have left  it!) and then created a new CAD Worker.  This CAD worker will not start  and of course the Creo Parametric Adapter Configuration tool fails on  Test Server.


Any ideas? Note that we are also having trouble registering a server in a ProE session to the Windchill server. We think that the problems my be connected. When we do this we get a:


SOAP HTTP Error: 500, Internal server Error.


Do you wish to connect in offline mode? > No > Server is currently not available. Check your connectrion or contact an administrator.


Also the standalone and embeded browser work fine except for the CreoView problem.


Please note that we had a previous test server using the exact same  software builds before and it was working fine. We rebuilt and imported  the latest Windchill dump from our production server as a last test  before going live when this happened.


Here are the error windows I am getting from the links that PTC had me try if that is any help.

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.

Max Word document file size?

$
0
0

Has anyone had any experience with Word documents that are, presumably, unable to publish to PDF due to file size?  There have been multiple times where I encountered documents that are not publishing; and after some investigating, I am still unsure of why they will not publish.  However, the trend I am noticing is that usually when I cannot find a cause, they are also very large documents.  I think it is somewhere in the ballpark of 100mb where I notice the issue.

 

Something to note: MS Word actually has a hard limit itself at 512mb (and yes, we have hit that limit before).  Really, the only way you get to 100mb+ in a word document is if you have a whole mess of pictures or scanned documents inserted into the document.

 

Has anyone else encountered this?

 

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?

STP/IGS Viewer?

All -


I have a user doing an offsite presentation in a few days, and we are looking for a (preferably free) model viewer so he doesn't have to deal with our VPN or logging in to Creo. I did a quick search here and see several older posts for products from eDrawings, Kubotek and Delcam - is there anything new and exciting that we should look at as well?


Thanks in advance -

Creo View - Saving PVZ Model Correctly

$
0
0

Hi Guys,

 

I've searched forums, read user manuals,  and watched videos and I still can not understand how Creo View saves to a PVZ.  For instance, you can save a dozen annotations and click on File Menu > Save All and it appears to do nothing.  Coworkers and myself have lost a lot of annotation work when Creo View crashes.  We are saving often.  When I looked into this, the PVZ file's Date Modified time stamp in Windows 7 File Explorer shows that it was never saved.  It seems Creo View only saves to the PVZ file when the program is exited or closed.  On exit/close, it will display a saving progress indicator writing to the compressed file.  It is also evident it only saves when closing by the Date Modified time stamp in Windows 7 File Explorer.

 

Am I missing something or does Creo View in fact only save to the PVZ file when it's closed? Should I be using PVS files?  I never have because I didn't want to manage all the files it generates.

 

Also, when multiple models are merged or a model is inserted into another.  Save All AS PVZ will not save correctly.  The file will save only a fraction of the size of the merged files and it will be empty when it is opened again.  Save ALL COPY OF ALL AS PVZ saves the models correctly.


This is very confusing for new users to know how to save their work.  Anyone have any suggestions for better more reliable saves?

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.

Creo Illustrate Manage Figures?

$
0
0

Is there any way to change the display order of the Figure thumbnails. As I work on complex illustrations, I generally create many Figures. Often I discover that I need one similar to one I've already made (and I want to keep the old one). The result is Figures panel that has Figures shown in the order created, but I'd like to be able to change the order of the Figures. (Renaming them doesn't help - they're still in created order.)

 

Also (related?) - at the bottom of the Figures panel there's an entry "Manage Figures". What is this supposed to do? Sometimes when I click it I get a useless screen that doesn't let me do anything; other times Creo Illustrate crashes. I doubt either of these are the desired outcome! Anyone with any experience with this?

 

Thanks in advance,

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.

 

Best Regards,

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...

 

thanks

Bye
