I also prefer to build my models so that they match what is being done on the shop floor, which is why I decided to try using assembly cuts. But since we are just starting out with CREO, I am not necessarily held to doing things this way - as long as the final model represents the actual part...
I am starting a new project using CREO 2, and before I get too deep into the project I would like some ideas on how to handle the following situation:
We make small engines (think lawnmowers), and our crankcases are die-cast aluminum with a cast-iron liner that is cast into the aluminum...
Ah, there it is! Is it possible then to specify whatever hole size I want? Or am I limited to the drill size for whatever thread is selected?
Using NX7.5 & Creo 2
We are in the process of moving from NX to CREO 2.0, so I'm sure I will have many questions.
My question today concerns hole notes. I went through the help files and knowledge base, and I have the notes working for threaded holes. What I am wondering is if it is possible to get them to work...
Yeah, not looking forward to it. But I'm looking on the bright side, it is another thing to add to my resume [bigsmile]
After doing some digging, I've discovered that our corporate overlords have it set in the config.sup file. They have our configuration set up so that the config.sup is...
We are in the process of switching from NX to Creo 2.0, and one of my tasks is to get the drawing formats set up.
I have a cell in the titleblock table that contains &todays_date, and this works mostly as expected when I bring the format into a new drawing, except for the following:
In the...
Thanks Toost for the tip! It worked very well :)
Looking at the licenses available, this is what I have:
C++ author
C++ runtime
ufunc development
ufunc execute
.net runtime
Sadly, I do not see the .net author license listed. Guess that answers my question.

Hmmm, one IT guy siad that I do have the NX .net author license, and another one said I don't. At this point, I'm going to assume that I don't have it.

Using NX7.5, and Visual Basic 2010 Express.
I would like to be able to compile my journals into dll's, but so far I am not having any luck.
I am able to compile and build the dll just fine, but when I go to run the dll, I get the following error message:
Failed to load image - see log file...
Thanks for the tip, that must have been my problem! When I create the metaform feature, the only thing that I see is a bunch of splines that are projected onto the target face. Is this correct, or should I be expecting a surface as the result?

That is exactly what I was looking for!
I've noticed that as well...if the wrong inputs are selected, it basically sits there forever. I'll keep playing around with it to see if I can get something that works

Hmmm, Meta Form looks promising...the bad thing is my computer must know that today is Friday, because it seems like it decided to cut out of work early today[dazed]
Looks like I will try to tackle this next week!

I'm currently trying to model up a perforated sheet, but my computer is struggling with it at the moment [sadt
I haven't had the need to mess around with Global Shaping much, so I will have to take a look at it. I'd like to take a look at your model, but I'm on NX7.5 at the moment...
Chris T...
Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, I got tied up with other things.
Typically, we don't even bother to attempt to model the perforations. From a design standpoint, there really isn't any value in it.
The reason this question is being asked is because of a couple of reasons that others...
In a nutshell, yes. Where the model is somewhat flat, it isn't much of an issue to just sketch a few of the perforations, extrude and subtract, and using patterns to finish it off.
Where my co-worker is struggling is how to model the perforations on the vertical drawn sections without much...
