Re: Symbol in a table cell
Where do you find the path for a drawing loaded into the system. I am trying to verify that I don't have multiple files where it is trying to pull the symbol. I think I get it set with formated and...

Hi Dale,Don't use Tables that much but we do use a method to add symbols to dimensions by adding an aligned note to the dimension and this works well even if it is a kludge.But the thing that allows it...

I recently installed Creo 2.0. Installation seems to be successful. However, once I open a new Part, the planes and the coordinate system are not visible and I cannot start sketching. I uninstalled and...

I need some tips for good model management. This is a challenge I know I can work around, but I would like to know how you take on this challenge. Also please confirm if you actually use your...

Is there a way to attach a custom drawing symbol to the axis of a hole in Creo 2.0 M060? In WF4 I used to be able to select my symbol then click on the axis and have my symbol align to the center of...

Re: changing relative accuracy
For a large model with small features, go to absolute accuracy, and set it to about .0001. For large assemblies with small components compared to the overall sizze, do the same. I've never seen it...
View ArticleRe: changing relative accuracy
I can take it 0.0006 but items fail. If I go any lower than that Creo shuts down. It happens on any computer I try it on.

Hi Tom.If I understand you correctly then this is a candidate for Family Tables. You would have a high level FT of your assembly with an instance for the Exploded and Non-exploded states.This allows...
View ArticleRe: changing relative accuracy
Hi Michael,I am getting the idea that you are changing the accuracy of the assembly. If so then maybe look at the accuracies of the large parts first. The setting depends (I think) on whether you are...
View ArticleRe: How do you manage springs
Family tables huh. Interesting thought. Haven't used them in the past but this sounds correct. What will the master model present? Will it include all versions or only that which you specify?
View ArticleRe: How do you manage springs
Hi Tom.You can approach this a couple of ways. It is possible to use the Generic (the top level of the Family Table) as the master and have only one instance for the model you want to use for your...

Re: How do you manage springs
This is very helpful, Brent. As I said before, I am not a big fan of family tables but I need to get the hang of it sometime. Sure enough, when I 1st tried to make a FT at the top level, Creo crashed...

I suspect you are right, Brent. When I tried to create columns for the sub-level springs (components), it wouldn't let me which also means I cannot toggle off the sub-level compressed springs....

Hi Tom. Happy to look at the assembly and drawing later in the week for the FT side of it if you want. Will send you an email with my changed address. Regards. Brent
