The machine I'm working on is an enclosed/sealed environment... only 1.1 atm.... but sealed nonetheless. This would affect placing a relief hole on the dowel pin hole.
The real question was about difficulty of insertion of the pin if there is no path through which the air from the pin hole can...
I have a machine design featuring steel dowel locating pins and diamond points pressed into blind holes in :
steel castings
aluminum casting
steel machined parts
aluminum machined parts
Someone suggested that we should be using vented pins to make insertion easier;
Our company's standard...
Hello,
Is is possible to control the value of a dimension or parameter between one simplified rep of a given part and another simplified rep of that same part?
We used to do this with family tables, but our company doesn't use family tables.
Thanks,
Glenn
Unfortunately I did not get the error to clear.
I've attached a sample part.
Thank you,

I got the model working.
What it needed as part of the pattern group was a Datum Plane through the point, normal to the axis, and normal to the default front plane. This datum plane gave each of the tooth an absolute direction dictated by the front/back of the Datum plane rather than the...
Attached is an example timing belt which is automatically generated as a configured Creo file by Stock Drive Components. Their stable and reliable models use a similar methodology to what I have tried. Other than being generated in an older version of Creo, I'm not sure what they're doing...
I've created a timing belt path.
Established a pattern consisting of equally groups equally spaced. Each group contains a points and an an axis through that group and normal to the belt inside surface. I adjusted the display on the axis so that the axis points inward.
I then created a belt...
Is the material user defined parameter SELECT_JIS_NAME defined as being a string type?
I just looked through the Parameters "Default" list for the part.
There is no parameter "SELECT_JIS_NAME"
Did I look in the right place?
Thank you,

I haven't been able to correct this error in the start part that my company uses.
Can you help to identify what needs to be corrected? Is this a syntax issue?
Thanks,
Glenn
The new company I am working for uses the part numbers as the CAD file name. The description is locked in Windchill and is sometimes not very descriptive.
As a result, other engineers here are inserting datum points in to the assembly before each part or subassembly so that they can rename the...
I found the solution.
For whatever reason... the new company I am at has this configuration setting set to "NO" as default.
The team here is new to Creo so they probably didn't recognize that something was out of place having never known otherwise. Happy ending :)
I have attached a screenshot of a simply cylinder to illustrate the problem.
I have tangent lines set to solid, yet when I view my models in wireframe or hidden, the tangent lines are invisible.
Any tips?
Thank you.
Creo 8
I have my background color set as black with gradient background enabled.
This give me my desired gradient background color, and a black background when I go into sketcher.
It also leaves me with black background drawings.
Is there an independent setting for drawing background color...
Hi,
I've got a new role with an established international company who uses Creo and administers it from Germany. I am in the United States.
Creo here is running in English, mostly. When I create a new feature, the embedded sketch is labeled "Schnitt" which according to Google, means "Cut"...
