I would like to hear from anyone using Windchill to store and or release their CNC files.
- What you are using to push the CNC file to the machines?
- Did you create an API or use an existing one?

Surface milling by cutlines removed in Creo2
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

Change lead-in radius in Rough milling
Folks,
I'd like to change the lead-in radius when rough-milling. The cutter chatters because the radius is too small so I'd like to increase it. I've looked all over the place and cannot find any way to change it. Does any one know how to do this? BTW I'm on Creo 2, M100.

Who out there is thread milling in Creo 2.0?
I'm in the process of developing a thread milling process but I am not getting the correct tool path. I need a single pass tool path but I'm not able to find the right parameter combination to get single pass. I using a solid tool defined in Creo to simulate a multi-tooth cutter.

Dynamic milling like MasterCAM?
Good morning,
It was brought to my attention by a new coworker that use to
program using MasterCAM on how to improve our machining process. He showed
me some videos of the Dynamic milling and it looked really fast and
efficient. Would anybody that is using Creo Manufacturing have some
guidelines and parameter settings to help me achieve this with Creo 3.0? I
think we can do the same thing that is in MasterCAM.
Thanks.

Help with expert machinist G-code Output
I'm new to pro/E and Creo. I am having trouble with the expert machinist output to G-Code. My Machine tool does not like the format of the post processor. I have the basic 2 ½ D CAM that comes with Creo. The post outputs the tool path in as follows: N0012X00035Y0015F01. My machine tool interprets this as X=35 and Y=15. It should be X=0.35 and Y=1.5. In addition, can I adjust how the line numbers are generated? I would like to start at N0010 and increment by tens. I cannot find in the documentation how to change these formatting issues. I have tried using the NC Post Process under the Applications menu, but I’m not sure what It is actually doing. There is only the one default profile UNCX01 under the machine setup. And the list file says its using the UNCX01.p00 file (This file does not exist on my Hard drive.) So I’m at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Center line Datums
I'm wondering if there is a better way to create a datum that is centered between two parallel surfaces. I currently measure the distance between the two surfaces then creating a offset datum plane that is the measured distance/2. This however presents a problem if the measured value changes, the created plane is no longer centered. Any ideas on how to better accomplish this?

Volume Milling in CREO 2
We just upgraded from WF4 to Creo 2 and Volume milling doesn't have the new interface that the other toolpaths do. Is PTC phasing out Volume Milling?
If so, I use the rough and profile option a lot when roughing so that the operator can adjust the amount of stock left on the walls using cutter comp. Is there another way to do this using another sequence?

cross section problem
I created a cross section of a mold assembly and it appears
to have no errors. When I entire DETAIL mode and attempt to
place that view (front) on my sheet I get an error message
"Cross-section creation in view "new_view_1", on sheet 1, aborted"
any ideas what the problem could be and where I might look
to correct it?
I don't have any geom checks and in assembly mode the section
appears to have no problems.
Thanks in advance.

Wildfire and ProMold
Pro gurus,
I have a question concerning ProMold in Wildfire. When trying to do an
Edit-Definition on a runner, the message
"Failed search of <loadpoint>/apps_data/mold_data/sections/ directory.
Please check if mold data is installed"
Has anybody seen this and what can I do to correct it. It appears that
all mold data is installed. I can switch to Mold/Casting, I can hit the
runner command, but cannot make a runner.
Any ideas
Thanks
