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 - 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?

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?

Manual dimension drawing Pro/E Wildfire 5.0

$

Hi all,

Good day,

 

I received a 3D part file from my customer and I want to generate internal 2D drawing from it.

 

My problem is, there is a point where the "Annotate" feature cannot automatically detect its dimension. From my understanding, this is due to that specific point in the 3D part file received (no sketch line etc).


Since I already know the dimension value, I create "R0.5" and "R1.0" using note. But how can I manually draw a proper dimension arrow in the 2D drawing? Does the "Sketch" tab work on this? Is there any better alternative for this?

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

Show centermarks of part in drawing of assembly

In Creo 3.0 how can I use "Show Model Annotations" or a similar command to show hole centermarks of a part in a drawing of a subasembly that part is in?

 

In Wildfire, the Show/Erase command didn't care what level the centermarks were on, it just showed them in the drawing.

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?

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.

Visualization Creation Time Question

I don't know what I am missing, but my visualization process time seems slow. At first I thought it was the computer, which was old an old XP machine. However, I now have a brand new one that is about 60% faster but I am not seeing that in my process time. I am maybe getting 20-25% improvement.

My situation is that I have an assembly that downloads 488 objects.

The time stamps on the Job Monitor are Job Start: 14:35 and Job End: 14:39.
[cid:image001.png@01CD7C78.18BD47B0]

How come the differences in time between the monitor and the log? Monitor shows 4 minutes and the log shows 2 minutes and 9 seconds.
What are some ways to reduce time creating the visualizations?

I am on Windchill 10.0 m020 with Creo view adapter 1.0.

Painting Features in a Part File

$
0
0

Hello all,

 

Sorry to post what is probably an elementary question, I am new to Pro Engineer (I've only been using it for a little over a month now) and my problem is this:

 

I have a part file with multiple revolve features in it that are stacked on top of each other. So basically, if you imagine it similar to maybe a stack of washers... the top of the 2nd revolve is directly contacting the bottom of the 1st revolve, and the top of the 3rd revolve is directly contacting the bottom of the 2nd revolve, etc etc. I want to paint each individual revolve a different color so if you look at a cross section you clearly see the stack up (right now it just looks like a solid grey piece.) However, when I go to paint the surfaces, it acts as if all the different revolves stacked on top of each other are one solid piece and it paints one side of the entire stack up instead of just the one revolve I want. It doesn't seem to allow me to click the feature in the model tree in order to paint the whole feature at once, and if I change the selection method in the top right from "all" to "part" it again acts as if the whole thing is one part instead of many stacked features.

I also tried suppressing all the features but one in order to change the appearances one at a time, but when I paint the remaining feature and restore the suppressed features they are painted too.

 

Also, I know that it is possible in an assembly file... is it possible in a part file too?

 

This is driving me nuts!

I'm sure their must be a simple way to do this!

 

Thanks for your help!

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.

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.
