    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    I must profess ignorance about templates. I never use anything other than File > New. I DO however, Save As, to start a new branch of files from existing ones in a project. What exactly is the definition of "template" in Creo. In other programs, I see the use of templates as launching-off...

    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    "One other comment...Even if it is a new file, did you create it from an old template/start part? Those need updated, too!" I tested both old existing files and brand new ones for test. They all failed. But after the clean install, the problems went away.

    How to get analysis measurement feature into a relation

    I read in a post somewhere that the option to put analysis features into a relation required additional licensing. I know that at least in my case, I never had any problems with this before (in the rare cases I needed it) and never required additional licensing for it. So not sure of the...

    How to get analysis measurement feature into a relation

    Hi again. In my previous post, "Creo Won't Let Me into a Group", I finally did a new installation of Creo 2 M100 and the old problems went away. One problem however remains, so I think this is user-error. I am trying to get an analysis feature into a relation, but all my attempts are failing...

    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    "You. Have. To. Type. It. In. Yourself. " Just saw your last post, but I was so frustrated with Creo before I read it, that I did a completely new install of Creo, and the problem is now gone. Cleared up some other intermittent problems too, like not being able to copy surfaces or paths...

    "Yes - you probably need to manually edit config.pro. PTC likes to hide options." I opened it in WordPad, but no such name. I must have an alternate universe version of M100! :)

    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    "Try dropping back "graphics win32_gdi" in the config.pro to circumvent a possible graphics driver change. You'll need to restart Creo after the change." Hm...I have "All Options" selected, but that phrase does not exist in either the names or descriptions, for config.pro.

    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    "Have you rebooted your computer?" Yes. No effect. "Sure it's not an old file?" This is a file I started on about a week ago. Old files that I used Groups in (with no problems), now have the problem, too. So I'm thinking something broke in my installation.

    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    Hi looslib! Creo 2 M100. Been using it for years. I put my computer to sleep overnight. When I woke it up this morning, that was when I noticed that I could not select surfaces or edges for copying. I shut down Creo and relaunched it and I got that functionality back. The selection within...

    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    Update. Other weird things happening now, like inability to select surfaces for copying, and edges not selecting. I think I need to do a reinstall.

    Here is an image of the difference in the right-click menu when selecting a feature: https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7a46ce9b-00c1-4f3e-ba78-71ca05b7b39a&file=Creo_Bug.jpg

    I deleted all config file copies forcing Creo to a default config. Still same problem. Update: Rebooted my system. No difference.

    Working this problem further, this does not appear to be a problem in the file itself, it seems to be in Creo in general. Old files do the same thing now. Could this be a corrupt config file? Trying that next.

    Creo Won't Let Me into a Group

    Hello. This is weird. Never run into this before. If I am working in a part file, sometimes I will group many features into a group to clean up the overall tree. I can easily get to all of the features in that group. But now all of a sudden, if I close that file and reopen it, I cannot move...

    Trying to get info for a datum plane crashes Creo

    Hello. I have had this problem for some years and usually just brushed it off. Now, I need to do this and it appears to be a bug in Creo2.0. If I create a datum plane, and then try to do right-click > Info > Feature, Creo crashes. Has anyone else seen this problem? I thought it might be my...

    Making a Zillion Squares in Sketcher with Mapkey

    Got it. Didn't seem like it was going to work my way. Thanks for the tip and sounds like a great way to get the job done!

    Making a Zillion Squares in Sketcher with Mapkey

    Hello. I cannot seem to get Mapkeys to do what I want. I have numerous squares that I want to center around individual points in Sketcher (Creo 2). I want to essentially do a macro for drawing the square by choosing a point to build the square about, then letting the mapkey drawing the square...
