Highlighted snap line(s) cannot be regenerated

$

I keep getting the warning message "highlighted snap lines can not be

regenerated" in drawing mode for some of our template models. However, no

matter what I do, I cannot see any snap lines, highlighted or not. Is there

some way I can get these snap lines to be visible so I can figure out why

they can't be regenerated?

 

currently im working on creo 3.0 mo90.

 

Thanks

Preventing B-(minus) rotation from occuring in G68 mode when posting a file

$

Does anyone out there know how to prevent the B-Axis from going in the minus rotation when posting code?

I've tried a few different C/L commands that will move B in the plus direction before the programmed rotation occurs in the .ncl file.

 

We need to run in B plus most of the time for clearance reasons.

 

Our machine is a head/table machine (B head, C table)  The C-axis is parallel to Z-axis.

 

Thanks

My student edition of Wildfire 4.0 has stopped working on my Windows 10 laptop. eSupport opened a file to help me even though Wildfire is no longer supported. I was given Creo 3.0 , but I can not do setup. License problem, perhaps. Help?

Wave Spring modelling problem

$

Hi, I have attached my part in this discussion and I was wondering is there anything I can change to model the wave spring so it doesn't touch each other as I have problem trying to mesh and analyse it then. I have used equation and relations in order to model this part. In addition to that, is there anyway that I can model it as an interlaced wave spring with the same relations? Thanks! The part attached can't be simulated later on as there are meshing problem which I'm not sure how to fix as well. Any help would be great! Attached in the images are the relations that I used and the part I'm trying to model. Is there any possible way I could change the relations so that the part doesn't intersect or interpenetrate each other? Thanks!

Cabling help

I am new to the cabling part of creo.  finally got it working.  Couple of questions.

 

1.  Is there some online training I can take?  PTC university or something similar?

 

2.  The standard installation, when trying to create a new harness, the default options, I get an error that says the assembly was created with different units.  Is this a setup issue, or start part issue?

 

3.  Are we supposed to create spools and such?  I am only using the wiring as visual, we don't plan on creating drawings, or anything.  They just want to show the wiring in the models.

Model to Help 5th Graders Understand PTC Coordinate System

$

I've made the following model with which I hope to explain the PTC coordinate system to 5th Graders.  I've succeeded only in confusing myself.  Maybe you can help.

 

CoordinateModel.png

The file is attached.  Created with Creo Parametric 3.0 M070 Academic.  I think this a right hand system as pictured,  I've extruded X+, X-. Y+, Y-, Z+ and Z-.  I want to extrude (20mm) FRONT+, FRONT-, TOP+, TOP-, RIGHT+ and RIGHT_ on the planes  I presume that FRONT+ is on the Y+ side of the FRONT plane.  Am I on the right track?

 

It seems to me that the default system in Creo Academic is a left handed system!!!

Export attachements from items (not documents)

$

Hello,

 

I would like to export attachments from items (multiple items and multiple attachements per item) from Integrity. We know there is an export function for attachements (IIF) but only for documents. Is there another option than xls-export for items (instead of documents) including the attachements?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

Kind regards,

Adriana

Conditional routing based on Document attributes

$
0
0

Hello all,

 

I am trying to have a conditional routing in a workflow, based on a specific attribute of the routed document.

In the expression I use this:

 

//get the attributes of the document.
wt.iba.value.IBAHolder holder = wt.iba.value.service.IBAValueHelper.service.refreshAttributeContainerWithoutConstraints(doc);
wt.iba.value.DefaultAttributeContainer ac = (wt.iba.value.DefaultAttributeContainer) holder.getAttributeContainer();

if (ac != null) {
wt.iba.value.litevalue.AbstractValueView[] avalues = ac.getAttributeValues();

for (int i=0;i<avalues.length;i++) {
wt.iba.value.litevalue.AbstractValueView val = avalues[i];
if (val.getDefinition().getName().equals("contracttype")) IPselect= val.getLocalizedDisplayString();
break;
}
}
}catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("Caught Exception:" + e.toString()); }

 

Then in the OR I have put this:

 

result="IP_Yes";

if (IPselect.equalsIgnoreCase("Consulting")) result="IP_No";

if (IPselect.equalsIgnoreCase("Service Agreement")) result="IP_No";

 

The problem I have is that some times it gets the value from the document (thus "IPselect" has a value in the workflow) and some others not.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you in advance

Doing manual edits on a 4 digit text number. Need macro for IsoDraw to match manual text edit

$

0

Doing manual edits on a 4 digit text number but noticed when I call up the Object info that the name shows the previous text. For example change a text 0401 to 0462. When I do a Object info it still shows 0401 in the name (see attachment). So I want to develop a macro that will change the object info name to match the manual edit. In this case 0462. Here's the macro code I have so far:

 

Here's the code:

 

Macro change_name_in_object_info

Define el as Element

Define Text as String

Define output as String

Define text1 as string

el=ActiveDoc.FirstSelectedElement

Select if Type is "Text"

        WHILE (Exists (el) = true)

text1=Text

el.info.name = text1

el = el.nextSelectedElement

        End While

select none

End Macro

I can define an element in AA.
I can define and element in BB.
Am I doing something wrong with CC? Or is Mathcad not capable of this? Is this a typical problem and does anyone know of a workaround?

Opening a STEP file offline vs. connected to Windchill

$

If I open a step file of a PCBA from my desktop while connected to Windchill it takes about 10 times longer than it does if I am "offline". 2 examples: ~2 minutes vs 17-20 minutes for a fairly small PCBA, ~4 minutes vs 35-40 minutes for a larger PCBA.  I don't understand why this is the case, because Windchill should have no involvement in the task.

 

If anyone has an explanation for this, I'd love to hear it.

 

Thanks!
