Creo Parametric 2 missing functionality of Wildfire 4??

$
0
0

We are in a situation where schedule is being impacted in a bad way. Cabling designer believes that capabilities in Wildfire 4 have been lost in Creo Parametric 2. Things he could do in Wildfire 4 can no longer be done with Creo Parametric 2. Is that known to be the case?

Dynamic analysis of cable-movement while move part to which cable is connected

$

Hello All,

 

I have a question. Is it possible in some way to check the cable movement dynamically if one of the parts is moved?

 

In other words: if I have 2 parts with the cable between them, and I move one of the parts? Can I view how the cable will react to the movement of the part?

 

As far as I know you can only move the part and regenerate, which will update the cable...

 

Thankyou very much!!

Greetings, Koen

Hello,

 

I do not know much about the Creo Schematics. My company uses Eagle and Gerber files. With Creo Schematics software, can I import in Eagle and Gerber files into Creo Schematics? Can I export out these file formats out of Creo Schematics?

Need Help in Placing Datatables on sheets in Creo Schematics.

Hi, I'm trying to create a visible table in Creo Schematics 2.0.  I can generate a report from a CSV file, and I can generate the table; but, that's as far as I'm able to get.  When I place it on a sheet in my diagram, it no longer remains visible.  I can click on it and highlight it to edit the table.  But if I change the focus to some other artifact or window it disappears.  I've tried changing the font color from the style menu, and this doesn't seem to change anything.  Even still, when I do highlight the table, it only shows data - no table or cell lines that should seperate the data visibly.  That leads me to believe that I'm missing some other option for generating data tables - however, I can find nothing about this in any of my tutorials.  Any help would be appreciated on this.  I'm rather desperate that this point.   Thank-you.

Help with Creating Hydraulic Schematics in Creo Schematics

Recently our internal hydraulics group was informed that Creo Schematics 2.0 will be the new tool for creating hydraulic schematics.  Unfortunately I have little experience with this software but I am very familiar with other PTC products such as Pro-E wildfire 4 and now Creo 2.0.  Does anyone in the PTC community have some on how to make hydraulic schematics in Creo 2.0 without purchasing the symbol library offering from virtual interconnect?  Specifically I am looking for help on the following topics:

 

Creating and modifying ISO 1219 hydraulic schematic symbols

Importing previous RSD files into Creo Schematics

Setting up a library or catalog of symbols for the rest of our hydraulics group to use to creating hydraulic schematics

Building new schematic symbols from existing library symbols


Piping ISO View and Parametric Bend Table

I used to work on piping drawing, I need to place ISO view of individual pipes in an piping assembly drawing with parametric Pipe Bend table,

 

For example: If an assembly is having 5 pipes, I need to get five pipes iso view to be placed in separate sheets with corresponding Parametric bend table for the pipe in the same drawing file.

Getting Cosmetics (Tie Wraps, Markers, Tape) to Show in BOM?

In Creo Parametric 2.0 Cabling, how do you get the tie wraps, tape and markers to show up in your BOM table after you've placed them in your routing?  I've tried numerous combintations of electrical report parameters, but cannot get these to show up.  Also, does anyone know where I can get a list that shows me what the various report parameter abreviations mean?  For example: I assume asm... means assembly, harn... means harness etc..., but what do the others mean?  Thanks!

Migration from AutoCAD Electrical to Creo Schematic

$

I am new with Creo Schematic and I am trying to understand what to expect about the process working with DWG files. I have a huge amount of DWG files created along the years with AutoCAD Electrical and I want to migrated all the files to Creo Schematic.

I have some doubts about how to prepare my DWGs files to start using them in Creo Schematic, what can I reuse, like blocks and their properties...

 

Also to know if is possible to export CREO Schematic files into DWG and how the AutoCAD users will see their files after the Creo Schematic manipulation, for example if the electrical components could be recognized as blocks or only like lines and polylines, what kind of information could be loss during the migration process

 

I will appreciate very much your feedback

Project Management inside Creo Schematic

I am new with Creo Schematic and I am trying to understand how to resolve the relantionship between 2 diferent drawings that share information about components.

For example, I have a schematic drawing that represent the logic funtional of something but also I have another drawing of the fisical representation of the schematic (panel drawing).

 

What I want to know if is possible get automatic updates of the properties components (like manufacturer or catalog ID) in the Panel Drawing when I change the same information in the same component but in the schematic Drawing in a diferent file.

 

I will appreciate very much your feedback.

 

 

Drawing Management by Projects

I am new with Creo Schematic and I am trying to understand if there is a way to manage drawings by Project inside CREO Schematic without using Windchill, a kind of project manager where you can administrate all drawings needed to a specific project regardlees where the file are located and all this in a centralized location.

We need a centralized location in order to accomplish task like automatic cable numbering (secuencial or by location in the drawing template) along all the drawings in the project, automatic sheetset numbering of all the drawings.

 

I will appreciate very much your feedback

I am new with Creo Schematic and I am trying to find a place to know how is build the component libraries inside CREO SCHEMATIC, topics like  kind of components, manufacturers, components standards (IEC, JIC, and so on)

We are going to migrate from AutoCAD Electrical and we need to know what to expect and what will happen with our currents libraries and how to reused again to avoid lose all our work.  

 

I will appreciate very much your feedback.


Export to DWG Versions

I am new with Creo Schematic and I need to know in which versions of DWG (2007 / 2008 / 2009)  can I export from CREO SCHEMATIC to AutoCAD. This is because we are goint to collaborate with third parties that doesn have CREO SCHEMATIC. If this is not possible, which is the better way to solve this. 

 

I will appreciate very much your feedback.

I have added a parameter naming Wire_Color in the Parameter window of Cabling as below.

 

My problem is I don't know how to enter different colors in parameter window so that I can change different colors in this window itself.

Spool change of wire

         I am using Creo Parametric 2.0. My Harness Part has 30 wires and 3 spools.Let us consider

 

a)  10 wires belong to spool A

b)   and next 10 Belongs to Spool B

c)   and the third 10 belongs to Spool C.

 

      by mistake while routing i did not change the spool name and routed all the 30 wire with Spool A. Now if i want to change the spools as per my requirement what is the solution?

 

         I tried to go for reroute it will not help.

         I tried route spool is showing but non editable please give me solution.

 

 

Creating Flattening Harness

Say for Example I have 20 wire routed, out of which

 

1) 10 wire follow network path A

2)  5 wires follow network path B

3)  another 5 wires follow network path C.

 

While creating flatten harness it will ask for start point when we give start point it will create flatten Harness only for 

 

a)  1st 10 wires following network path A

 

and i will have to create 2 more separate flatten harness for 5+5 wires passing through Network Path B and Path C.

 

I want to know is this the right procedure?  or I can create one single Flatten Harness for all the 20 wires passing through different network path that is "A","B" and "C".
