I have converted the Creo Assembly into Step Format.
While the opening the step format again into Creo , a Menu Manager Tap is opening and then I need to Keep on clicking the Done/Return Option, Which consumes a lot of time.
Is it possible to do th above in single click, or Is there any other way to open the step file directly without any questions in Creo....
While Converting my assembly (400MB) into Step format, the file is getting almost doubled (850 MB).
I tried both Solid / Surface Options, Still I am getting bigger File size
Can you please help me to reduced the FILE SIZE
Thanks
Ram
You can do a save as and create a .pvz file (creoview), what are you going to do with this file?
Dear all,
I need to enter nearly 100 characters in my parameter value but creo is not allowing to take
how many characters we can put in parameter ?

Hi,
according to https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS61011 ... The maximum length of a string parameter is 80.

Just wondering if there is a config option to set assembly default constraint type? For example, I want the default to be Coincident, can this be done? Right now, the default is Automatic.
In my drawing of an assembly I have 3 sheets. Each sheet is an exploded "stage" of the assembly. On these sheets I am creating a repeat region for every stage that will list the exploded parts of that assembly, easy enough I think...
So my issue is this, in the assembly I have a certain screw that has a qty of 18. But, not all of the 18 screws are on the same exploded view, 12 are on one sheet and 6 are on the other. Is there a way I can change the value of the quantity in the individual tables? I've seem ways where people can use relations, but I don't think this would work for me as I figured it would update both tables the same, as in the second table would also show a qty of 12 when I need it to show 6.
To further explain my drawing, I use 3 simp reps from view manager and just named them stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 and then as my stages progress I exclude the parts/assys that were shown in the previous exploded view. Stage 1 is basically everything in the top level assembly. but only the outer most parts/assys are exploded. When I get to stage 2, all the parts/assys from stage 1 that were part of exploded view are excluded via simp rep and the next set of outer most parts/assys are exploded for stage 2. Then same process for stage 3 where all stage 1 & 2 parts/assys are excluded via simp rep.
Hi,
You can assign the individual simplified rep to the tables
Select repeat region>Model/Rep> select table> select assembly & desired rep
hope this helps

Although I've never seen it applied in way you need, and if you have the license for it, a Process assembly might be another option for future reference.
You can - it isn't fully automatic, but neither is actually making the assembly on the shop floor.
What you need is to do is add two Component Parameters (not parameters in the part) to each component in the Assembly. One will be the Item Number and the other is the Assembly Step. I usually use the String type for parameters that don't have to be a number.
Then, for each sheet, set up a Repeat region** that filters out all except the matching step and use the asm.cparam.Item_Number instead of the default rpt.item (I think that's it) and set the Table Properties to use the asm.cparam.Item_Number as the balloon source. The rpt.qty should add up only the items that aren't excluded by the repeat region filter.
If you add the display of the Component parameters to the model tree view in the Assembly window, you can just click on any entry - if it doesn't have a value, Creo will prompt for the parameter type and the value; if it already has a value you can just type a new one. For entering the assembly step I'd create a mapkey that does it all (one key to edit the parameter, enter the type, and add the step string for each step); for the others a mapkey to set the parameter type.
**The can be more than one repeat region per sheet; this problem doesn't require that.
Yes Sir!
auto_const_always_use_offset
Yes - auto constraint always creates offsets.
No - Auto constraint snaps align or mate if surfaces are within tolerance. (Default behavior)
Never - Auto constraint never creates offsets.
If you choose to use the default behavior of working within a tolerance (epsilon) you can specify the epsilon to give you more or less room to make it behave according to your preferences.
comp_normal_offset_eps
comp_angle_offset_eps
auto_constr_offset_tolerance

If you ZIP the file after converting to .STP format. that could be one solution.
In Order to make two parts successfully constraint, you may need to define three constraints, you can define distance between three datums(X, Y, Z)
Assemble-part- User defined- distance- (select part1 surface/edge..) + (select part2 surface/edge..) (offset - distance value)...select new constraint repeat the instructions for two more datums
Hi,
Try to take a Save a copy of assembly
Refer document: https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/docs/DOC-9250
I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but I'm guessing it is:
BOX_A1_1.PRT --> BOX_A1.PRT
PLATE_A1_1.PRT --> PLATE_A1.PRT
...
SOME_NAME_1.PRT --> SOME_NAME.PRT
if that's the case, then you could Use Template: *_1.PRT = *.PRT
Thanks guys, I got my required standard view orientation as said by gabrial.
Paul sobejko,
Its achieved by trial and error method only. I also thought Z-axis cant be rotate. But i can get z-axis also rotatable in very few X-Y values only.
Thanks.
The only issue with assigning reps is on one exploded view all screws are part of the rep because the unexploded screws are in the model still being shown in the assembly.
So when one rep will be correct and only show a 6, the rep for the assembly up a level (where I need to show 12) will show 18 still.
Yeah, I figured my process was a bit unorthodox, but everything I know is pretty much self taught, besides a few how to videos.
I looked into the process assembly and you're right, this extension would make it easier from what it states. Sadly we don't have this extension.
Just so I got this right, I should be in my top level assembly, in parameters window, under the "look in" drop box, select component and then select the component I want to modify?
I'm also struggling to add the component parameters to the tree column. I've tried searching through the different choices they give in the tree column option, as well as create the parameter inside same window.
