ProductView and Google Chrome

$
0
0

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. 


Lightweight Graphics Representation

We are trying to get LGR to work in Creo 2 Parameteric M050 and M090 tied to PDMLink 10.1 M040. We have followed the documentation provided by the local PTC rep who we have worked with for many years. We can it it to work with the files saved locally but not tied to PDMLink.

 

I am able to spin and zoom on the thumbnail in PDMLink, but when we open a file using LGR in Creo, we get outlined boxes representing the parts and subassemblies.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

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.

Multiple-cut section views in drawings

$

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.

Can balloon placement and attachment be made manual

$

Is there a setting so that I can control the attachment and placement of balloons when they are created?  In the past, and I've been a user since '97, when a balloon was placed, you controlled both.  Now I have to create the baloon, move the balloon, move the attachment.

 

I use 3d views in a variety of orientations, and the cleanup tools do not help, and they don't help with the attachments.

 

This means a single baloon takes about 12 click, and I have assemblies with over a hundred parts.  You do the math.

 

Is there a setting that gives me back control of the balloon process?

Changing Graphics card

$

I currently have custom gaming PC which has a Gigabyte Nvedia 770 with 4gb built in and 8gb of ram, although it is not designed for CAD I believe that it could run better than my integrated graphics on my 3770k.

 

I'm not sure but I believe that Creo is only using my CPU which is being over loaded, I even got a new cooler when it reached 105 degrees C when rendering.

 

Does someone know who to check in Creo parametric what graphics card is being used and if there is a way of switching to my other graphics card.

 

Greatly appreciated if anyone can help.


How to make lines show up thinner when exporting drawing as a PDF in a Net Based Creo Parametric?

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I am using a Net Based Creo Parametric 2.0. When I export an engineering drawing to a PDF file, the resulting lines are too thick, and obscure some of the fine details. I have attempted to follow what others have written, which have to do with including pentable files in the working directory and/or modifying the config.pro file, and checking the "Use Pentable" box in the export dialog box. However, (1) there is no pentable.pnt file in my working directory, and when I create one (opening a notepad text file, copying some suggested block of code like the one below into it:

 

pen 1 thickness 0.003 in

pen 2 thickness 0.005 in

etc.

 

 

and finally saving it as a .pnt file), I can't reopen the resulting .pnt file; I get an error that says "can't open because file is corrupt." (2) I have tried to copy certain blocks of code into the config file but to no avail.

 

If someone would be so kind, what I seek is a clear, step-by-step explanation of everything I need to do to get a PDF with thin black lines from a drawing, including any blocks of code if necessary, the proper way to create any files, what folders to put them in, etc.

 

Basically a "getting thinner lines for dummies"

 

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

One of the users at work just recently experienced a strange occurance with a model he has been working on over the past couple of days.  He opened the model he was working on, and noticed that certain features have changed color.  See below:

I've personally never seen anything like it.  Any idea as to what could've caused this?  We're running Creo 2.0 M070.

Painting Features in a Part File

$

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!

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.

Does anyone know how the Preset Explode works in Creo View Express?

 

Is it supposed to be able to show user defined exploded views from Creo or Pro\E that you define in the View Manager?

 

Will this work for Native Creo files (*.asm)?

 

Will ths work for Creo View formats (*.ed, *.edz, *.pvs, *.pvz)?

Creo View Markups

Greetings all.

 

We are upgrading to Windchill 10.2 and Creo 2.0 from Windchill 9.1 and Pro/Elements 5.0   We are wanting to use the "Mark up" funciton in Creo View to both mark up our drawings in the review process and to retain the information for later review of the design process.

 

I am looking for best practices, and how to understand the way that Creo View works.

 

How are annotations preserved when the revision changes? 

 

Will the annotation stay with the revision it was added to, or will it transmit to the next revision? 

 

Also, will they stay permanently or are they deleted when a Creo drawing or model is released?

 

Thanks in advance, James

Where can I find any documentation of how to configure and use the Creo View Express as a plugin in a webbrowser like Firefox.

 

So far I'm doing a

 

 

<embed height="100%" width="100%" name="plugin" src="nvidia-demo.pvz" type="application/x-pvlite9-ed">

 

 

It is displayed correctly but I want to disable the toolbar, for example.

Furthermore I need access to the JavaScript API to be able to communicate with the plugin.

 

I'm using Creo View Express, Version Creo 2.0, Datecode F000 build 23.

 

Thanks a lot for your help.
