Re: Standard Parts for Assembly
I think this would be a user defined library part. You have to provide the intelligence, but technically, yes, you could do something similar. See Vladimir's generic "gear" model which prompts you for...

Right. I do not know if PTC offers a library such as this. Have you looked through 3DModelSpace (from the Creo browser)?

yea i have looked that but there you have to search and find exact match.thanx Antonius Dirriwatcher.

Antonius, I guess by using interface it is possible. isntit? However lirbary parts need to be modifed suitbaly.

One would use interfaces, yes, but that alone would not do what is suggested. Interfaces is normally used just to help manage mating conditions. The idea is that you would create a UDF that links to...

Re: Standard Parts for Assembly
Hi David,.. no I'm sorry, but I don't know any Creo library with this function - I know what you mean, but with Creo library do you need to know type and dimension for your models (bolt, nut, gear,...
View ArticleWhat is .pvt and .ol file format?
I am working on big machine level assembly which consist of several sub-assemblies. When I am opening the top level assembly in "Light Graphic Rep" from Open menu, all sub assemblies will be loaded in...
View ArticleRe: What is .pvt and .ol file format?
Light weight models are created to make the graphic computations more manageable. It allows very complex assemblies to be loaded without all the overhead of parametric data. They essentially become...

Frustrating constraint bug
When something loses its reference it will ask for a new one when you edit the definition of a part in the assembly. I am getting very frustrated when I have to correct a model and like you seee in the...
View ArticleRe: Frustrating constraint bug
I am not sure what Creo's logic is for picking features. It doesn't seem to consider proximity of the cursor in all cases but rather follows a type, which is not always logical to the task at hand....

View ArticleRe: Frustrating constraint bug
You should use the "Query Select" and turn off the preselection highlighting, that way you pick EXACTLY what you want. I think a lot of people's problems are that they don't really know what...

Hello all and thank you ahead of time for any responses. I downloaded an assembly from grabcad as a step file, imported it into CREO 2, and then attempted to scale the model and it is not scaling. I...

I am not familiar enough with the straight forward way to scale import models. However, I do know you can trick the imported parts by using the Units settings in File>Prepare>Model...

In ProE & Creo in the replace component dialog the default option (when not a Family Table) is to replace by "Reference Model". For some reason this seems not to work at all for merged parts and...

Determining Orientation of Pipe Elbows
Hello, I am currently trying to create a model of a ROV made out of cPVC. I have tried constructing this with pin constraints, however once I get further in the model I start to get numbers that are...
View ArticleRe: Determining Orientation of Pipe Elbows
You could do an insert mate for aligning the elbow with the pipe. You can do an align/mate with an offset fromt he edge of the elbow to the edge of the pipe (for how much the part will be inserted)....
View ArticleRe: Determining Orientation of Pipe Elbows
I ended up creating an angle offset between the datum plane of the attached PVC pipe and the outside-facing end of the elbow bracket, that allowed me to specify an angle and make the model accurate....
