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.


View Part Attributes in CreoView

Hello Experts

 

  • I have done the following steps:
  • Associated few attributes only to WTPart and not to EPMDocument
  • Published CAD file and the visualization is updated and associated with WTPart structure
  • Now I have the visualization with the attribute information associated to WTPart
  • However, when I open the file in CreoView, I don't see WTPart attributes in the list

 

Anything that I am missing here?

Republish Out Of Date

So I've gone through and have set up my test system and the properties on it to republish out of date items.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?

Model color schemes

$

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 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

PTC Creo 2.0 dual screen issue

$

0

Hi,

 

I just installed Creo 2.0 M030 today and I have an issue wich makes Creo 2.0 unusable.

 

To start with, here is my hardware configuration :

 

I use a McBook Pro, with Intel i7-3720QM as CPU and NVidia GTX650M as GPU. My dual screen is an Apple Thunderbolt 27" display and Windows 10 as OS.

 

The problem is : whenever I work on the Thunderbolt, Creo 2.0 runs smoothly. But if I drag the Creo 2.0 window on my McBook screen, it appears to be really "laggy" and slow... It's literraly unusable...

 

Anyone knows from where it could come ? I've already tried to update graphic drivers but no results at all....

 

This is really weird because my coworker who had his setup before me never had any issues...

 

Thanks in advance...


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!

Mark up Creo View from External DFx source (Valor, DFM Pro,Adiva, Frontline Genesis, CAM35, aPriore, etc.)

We are a big company and have a lot of collaboration on DFM occurring on tools outside of Windchill.  Our partners use numerous tools to provide DFM feedback. If CREO VIew is to truly be a collaboration platform.  Can you please add the ability to import DFM "Sharelists" to CREO View?  We need a common format to exchange mark ups?   X,Y,Z location of the issue and some text.  Perhaps some other common items,  Name of Originator, Date stamp, Net or components impacted. 

 

In addition to the mark up collaboration, Creo View can act as the common repository for this feedback across the many designs and teams.  We can find common issues.  Feedback trends from users, by area, by vendor, etc. 

 

We would like to see this in the PTC Creo View roadmap.  First step is to get other users to respond to this discussion positively. If you agree with this. Please respond.

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.

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

$
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.

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.

Creo View Enhancement Requests

$

0

Hi all,

 

I've a few enhancement ideas for Creo View, Here I'm listing below.

 

1 Creo View can't Measure the Radius/Diameters of Rounds. [Attaching an PPT]

2 Should be able to read the Cross-sections from Creo Parametric Files.

3 Should be able to read the Simplified Representations / Combined Views from Creo Parametric files.

4 Should be able to read the Views list from Creo Parametric Models.

 

These are the minimum requirements any Customer looks for.

 

Hope PTC implements the same.

 

Regards,

Niranjan V
