For example, I would like "COORDINATE_OUTPUT" to default to SEQUENCE_SYS instead of the current MACHINE_SYS every time I make a new tool path.
Also, is there a way to custom populate the quick parameter options under the "parameter" tab? Common used parameters such as FIXT_OFFSET_REG used to set your G54-59, should be readily available, and I would not have to open the advanced parameter to access it. Any way to do this?
Is there a way, other than inserting a CL command in Tool Motion, to force each sequence to force out ROTATE even if it does not need to move? I'm trying to do it with my post, but I get the last rotation or a double rotation. By using the CL command, I have to put warning comments if anyone else tries to resequence anything.
Hi,
I just learned about the creo machining feature and I am curious how to use it. If I have just a regular .prt file where do I start? The NC manufacturing seems to demand a .asm file and not a .prt file to import. I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial or reading material.
Thanks!
Hello,
I and setting up a post for a Leadwell V-60i and need to set the Tool as modal. When I set this option in the Tool Change Sequence output options to "T-code is modal" it will stop posting the T code but still posts an M06.
How can I set up my post not to post an M06 when the T code is modal?
Does any one have a post for this machine that they can share?

I am trying to implement thread mills into Creo negating the need to use a code generator from the manufacturer, so that code can be reliably posted from the manufacturing model.
In this demonstration, I have made a sample part that is .500 in. thick. I will try to thread a 1/8-27 NPT into it.
Here you can see my how my tool is defined, it is an Allied TM27NPTF in case anyone wants to spec it out further.
Here are my parameters
I want a normal NPT from the top of the part down, but here is the resulting tool paths that I get. This is with start and end both set to "auto"
Here I selected the top of the part for start, and left the end as "auto", it gives me the same results as when both on auto. Note that if I try to select the bottom of the part here as the start, and leave the end on "auto", it removes the tool path
Here the start is still set to the top of the part, but now the end is set to the bottom of the part, yet the tool path is at the bottom and does not complete the thread to the top of the part.
This is the same as above, only reversed. So the start is now set to the bottom of the part, and the end is set to the top of the part. Now the tool path is to far above the part.
Lastly, we have the start set to auto, and the end set to the bottom of the part. Note that if I try to select the top of the part here as the end, and leave the start on "auto", it removes the tool path.
So aside of putting both start and end to the top of the part, or the bottom of the part simultaneously, I have now exhausted all possible combinations without achieving a normal NPT tool path. I should also mention that I also tried calculating the NPT depth and creating a plane at that depth, setting the "end" to the plane I made, but it still did not make the desired tool path.
Hello !!
I'm trying to make a mold for my propeller but i have some problems to close the silhouette curve around the hub. I've done some research correct me of i'm wrong and find that the curve is drawn when the shape change height etc. So how can i draw the curve in the middle of the cylindrical hub?
I attach the part file. In the photo is how much i progress with the skirt surface
Please help me i'm stuck in this matter over a month, is for my thesis and i have a lot work to do.
I'm using Creo 2.0
Thank you in advance Apostolis
Hi Everyone
Why can't I activate cutcom during rough(_only) operations in a volume roughing sequence. This is only possible when using "profile related" rough_option.
A solid carbide mill can be regrinded, so the new diameter is less than the diameter programmed. This difference is picked up by the cutter compensation on the machine, but there is no possibility to activate it with cutcom in the volume roughing sequence.
One can set all necessary parameters in the volume roughing sequence, but it has no effect or it does not work for rough_only. How can I solve this?
Hi all,
Used Creo purely for 3D modelling and 2D drawing for years now, but have been asked to investigate the use of Cad/Cam for our facility. Looked around on the website and found the extension called PTC Creo Complete Machining Extension, but then tried within Creo itself to produce a Manufacturing model, by starting a new part and selecting Manufacturing from the type menu and Expert Machinist from the sub-type, which led me into a type of NC wizard. What functionality for cad/cam does Creo 2.0 give me, or does it tempt you in and then get you to purchase an add on like Complete Machining.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Currently we are dealing with 2 machines at client site . Now how can we know that if code generated by Creo Machining extension can be directly integrated with these machines or not. If we require to develop post processsor then how much it will cost to develop new post procesor.
Is there some list of machines and manufacturers which show direct integration or post processor requirement? I am from sales back ground so i need basic info.

After many years of dealing with minor edits to my G-Code, I am trying to put some final touches on my Posts. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the posts to for out both the X and Y moves after it calls out the Work Offset? We have had issues with changing work offsets but the actual X or Y number is the same as the previous offset. This usual happens when we are running multiples of the same part.
I am also trying to come up with a way to have the post retract every time there is a rotation (both on 3+2 trunnions and on Horizontals). We currently manually put a Go Delta move in at the last toolpath before an index but depending on where the CSYS is for the next work offset the Post processor sometimes uses Retract Logic instead of Approach Logic. Which causes the Z to move into the part before the tombstone rotates. I am thinking that I would like the post to output a G0G90G53Z0. before every rotation but I want to make sure that it knows after the rotation where it is positioned.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
Hi there,
I am currently setting up a 3-Axis DNM Doosan 500ii with a Siemens Sinumerik 828D Control and Creo 3.0 as the CAM software
I am having some issues with the output G-Code concerning the tool Change.
At the moment I get:
N9 M5
N10 T9 M6
N11 S4000 M3
with T(Position Number)
What I Need is:
N9 M5
N10 T="Tool Name" M6
N11 S4000 M3
is there anyone that could help me?
Thank you!
I'm really getting annoyed about this Moduleworks. I loaded this morning Creo 3.0 M110 full of hope about this new release.
I started programming a new part and simulated,cutcom is still not correctly simulated !!! What's going on ? A simulating tool is to make sure everything goes well, not supposed to give doubts about what we are doing. I'm once more going to go back to M080 which works with Vericut perfectly.
I'm going to open a new case about this "new" problem !!
I can't see the benefits of paying a maintenance to get such a result. In our company, we're seriously thinking about changing cam software for many reasons. And these problem are just confirming what we are thinking.
And when will Pro/NC will be a standalone module ? Our company is well developing and we're getting more and more job. We are thinking of hiring a new employee, to have one on
CAD and the other one on CAM. But actually with Creo it's really a big problem !!! Who can think of paying a CAD licence to do CAM job ? Serisously !!
Hi again,
Im wondering how, if possible, I can hide or display certain features in different views of the same drawing. For example, in the image I uploaded, I have two coordinate systems, and I want to display only the Blockup csys in Top view 1 and only the OP1 csys in Bottom view 2. This image it doesnt actually matter so much, but when I have some jobs with three or four co-ordinate systems all overlapping or nearby to each other it can get real confusing.

Hi,
I use NC Sheet metal of Creo 3.0 for auto nesting with clustering option. The repeat factor is set to 3 with weight priority 0.
I want to eliminate the gap between groups. Attaching an image for your reference.
I tried with different values of repeat factor & weight priority but no success.
Is there any other way to reduce the gaps (highlighted with box 2)?

dear All,
please advise and share... is there any one here using Pro Engineer for 3D Mold Design, i mean full complete mold design such as :
1. Spliting core-cavity-slide
2. Mold Base and standard/custom component Parts Lay out
3. Create Bill of Material
4. Mold Drawing properties and Detail drawing or Mold Production.
thanks
