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

I just found out that my company has a license for NC Sheetmetal and I would like to utilize it for nesting flat patterns in an attempt to maximize material/minimize scrap. I wanted to see if anyone could point me to a tutorial or recommend a book that would help me get up to speed wit this module? I checked the PTC learning materials and it appears that there is no training for NC Sheetmetal (only the Sheetmetal design module).
Thankyou PTC, for removing one of the best features in your manufacturing option.
I can see you 'tried' to replace it with cutline milling, but whilst the end result may be the same in terms of NC code, the command interface is seriously slow, clunky and has brought my workstation to it's knee's on the multiple attempts using it.
Creo 2 (M020) now uninstalled and back to Creo 1, I will not renew maintainace contract unless this improves or goes back to how it was, there's no point if the newer versions aren't any better !?
Just don't understand why you (PTC) have to fiddle with features that work REALLY well, and keep your existing user-base from straying to other software, of which some are now much better and cheaper to license
Thankyou again

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.

I recently loaded Creo 2, M240 (was at M090) and I've noticed and issue with my apt files.
When I output an Operation, I can Post Process my apt files as I did before, but if I run a Material Removal Simulation (now Moduleworks, was Vericut) I have to search for those apt files because the Material Removal Simulation is looking at the Working Directory instead defaulting to the home directory where all my apts are stored.
I've scrolled though the config options, but nothing seems to describe what I am looking for. The Post Processor seems to always look to the home directory for apt files to process.
I appreciate any help with this.
Thank You,
Matt
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
Hi
I created a pocket with pocket expert machinist feature.
And i saw a issue with the fisrt approach motion : the tool plunge under the retract plane, up to the retract plan and start the ramp.
Somebody can help me, please.
Thank.
I need to use pro weld option.So can you send document of that.I'm not awareness of pro weld.
My goal is to be able to add or edit CL Data in any area of the CL code, so that the edits stay in the manufacturing model in case they are coded out at a later time. According to these PTC instructions Creo Parametric Help Center, it should be easy and available right in the Play Path box. This would be extremely useful, however I do not have the option, mine is greyed out and unselect able.
The only other option that I can find is by going to manufacturing tab and then selecting Edit/CL Command, however this only allows me to select "beginning" or "end" for my placement of code, and does not allow me to specifically place lines of code like I am attempting to do. In this mode I can also select Edit/Edit Mode in the code window and change the code and then save it, but it does not seem to keep my added CL Code. I just want to be able to add or edit CL Code on any line that I desire, anyone have any ideas?
guys.
Thanks again
Hy Folks,
is it possible to lock one view in the drawing not all views?

Creo 4.0 was recently loaded on my computer and I am starting to familiarize with it. We've been using 2.0 for a few years.
My manufacturing sequences are not visible in the model tree. I believe everything looks to be pulling from my tree.cfg and config.pro files. The operations are there and can actually be played. The tool list is there too. I am just missing all the sequences.
What setting am I missing?
Thanks for any help!
Matt
i'm little new to creo
so anybody plese explain me how i can integrate vericut into creo 2.0
i have already install both softwears but when i run nc check it gives "Application VERICUT_DLL is not available or supported on this platform."
I was shown a toolpath today, created in MasteCAM, that oscillates in z with options to create either a sine wave or peaked path. In this case it was being used to cut a laminate and avoid heating up the tool so much. Other than sketching the path, is there any way to create this in Creo?

Hi All,
I am not able retrieve Mould base and I've checked the options "Mold Component Catalog" and "Plastic Advisor" during installation and also installed mold expert extension MED-60360-CD-400_M010.zip as downloaded from PTC website.
Still i am not able to retrieve Mould base, it says that it cannot be retrieved.
Kindly need some advice,
Thanks in Advance
Dear all,
When using the roughing sequence to rough a pocket I see there is no option to enter a plunge feed.
When using an end mill this is essential in order not to damage the flutes.
I've tried entering a ramp speed and specify explicitly a ramp angle of 90° (which is the default setting).
This has no effect on the resulting toolpath. The only feed applied is the default cut_feed.
The volume rough sequence does have this option but I can't use that sequence for this particular toolpath.
Is it possible to specify a plunge feed with the roughing sequence ?
Hi Everyone,
I wanna program with 4-Axis machine in Creo but I've just started and I meet many problems. Is there anyone who have document about 4-axis milling in Creo.We can make friend and transfer your learning to me. I also appreciate if you can send me documents. My Email's " Ofcoursegoahead@gmail.com "
