Displaying parameters as fractions
Is there any way to display a parameter in fractional form without using half a page of relations? Not dimensions, parameters. I know the functionality exists, because it's so easy to change dimensions...

If this is an instance in a family table, does the correction have to be made in the generic part?
View ArticleRe: Annotation showing up when printing a model
Generally, you can make a correction at a family table instance and it shows up changed in the master. However, next time you open the master, it reverts. Something in the "suppressed" status doesn't...

View ArticleRe: How to get intersection witness lines on driven dimensions?
When required, I end up creating datum curves in the model that will appear on the drawing as those extension lines. That way they don't get lost. They end up on a layer called dwg_enhancement along...

Hi Brian !You need to open the dimensions properties and change the format from decimal to fractional, as showed in the image below.Best regards

This could be done in ProE WF4, but it looks absent from Creo2. We can even place a 3D Note in the model with a leader but when we change it from a planar surface to Flat to Screen the Leader...

Re: Displaying parameters as fractions
A fraction in its simplest form is an equation (division). You could make the parameter "numerator" and "denominator" and do the math on the decimal value. Use [.n] to control the number of digits....
View ArticleRe: Displaying parameters as fractions
I'm just curious about the rise in interest in using fractions. It's probably easier to create parameters that are parts of the fraction to begin with - whole part, denominator, numerator and use a...

When I worked on drawings with a many datum tags. Trying to re-assign references or moving them would cause a fatal error crash very often. I have given up on using actual datum tags and resorted to...

Re: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
Hi Matt, I'm actually trying to create the model of a real part I physically measured - so I don't have anything to section. Hopefully this picture will explain the issue: I created the datum points by...
View ArticleRe: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
Oh ok. So which one is correct? I am guessing the blue one is what you want? Also, why would you start with datum points? Based on the picture, it looks like you can start with a circle (cylinder). Or...
View ArticleRe: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
well, the datum points are what I measured with the CMM.and it's the red curve that's correct - my actual part is a disk with an elliptical hole cut out of it.I'm trying to reverse-engineer that shape.

Re: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
Paul, you can add 2 points where you make the curve segment straight on both ends (choose the line option for that segment). This will make the ends of the curve tangent as well. The 3 points on top...
View ArticleRe: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
I do see what you mean about a sketch not behaving once you close the spline. The way around it is to divide the spline somewhere along the spline and letting that be tangent. You can then close the...
View ArticleRe: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
The little glitch will be much smaller when a decent number of points is chosen. They should be much closer together where the curvature is higher to better follow the surface. I thought there was a...

Re: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
You'd think that's true, huh I tried that but if it is a single spline in a sketch, it jumps to closing the spline even if you have other geometry there. The Datum Curve version doesn't do that...
View ArticleRe: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
The end points don't start out with the end points coincident... That's after the tangency is established.
View ArticleRe: Can you make a closed and tangent-to-itself datum curve in Creo 2.0?
Nope, it overwrites the tangency with the lines and creates a tangent to itself. When you later divide the spline, the tangency to the construction lines reverts back See if this video covers it....
