Why is there a second icon that launches for Creo Elements/Direct 18.1 on Windows 8.X? Other applications reuse the same icon on taskbar for the opened application too. It confuses some people who see it, at first glance, and they think there are 2 CAD applications open.

Modell drehen/bewegen Creo 2.0
Hallo Community,
ich habe die Studenten Version von Creo 2.0, das sollte aber kein Problem sein:
Und zwar kann ich mein Bauteil nicht drehen oder sonstig bewegen. Die Zoom-Funktioniert funktioniert, ich kann allerdings nicht mit der Strg.-Taste arbeiten.
Wo kann ich die Tastenbelegung überprüfen/ändern ändern? Ich nutze Windows 8.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express 4.0 - Licencing Commercial usage
Hello,
I have a little question about the commercial usage of Modeling Express?
Is it allowed to use this free software to use in a small company as a solution for small designs like in Creo Elements Personal Edition or is it just allowed for personal usage?
Thanks for an answer

New to Creo -- Elements Direct Modeling Express won't start after install
Hi folks. I'm Kent and am hoping to transition from Google SketchUp to something more stable (and also a surface modeler). My needs are very basic, I print small plastic parts for electronic assemblies on a Solidoodle 3. Some of the SketchUp users suggested I check out Creo. So here I am.
I downloaded Creo Sketch and 64-bit Direct Modeling Express 4.0. Sketch comes up fine but Express hangs on the initial splash screen. An error msg says an (unnamed) DLL installation routine failed.
I have looked here for an answer but so far haven't found one.
I told Norton anti-virus to Exclude the PTC folders from auto-protect, rebooted, reinstalled/repaired, etc. no luck.
I'm running a Toshiba Satellite laptop with I don't know what kind of graphics adapter, 8GB of Ram, butt loads of swap file and Windows 8 (ugh).
So, can anyone offer some ideas on what DLL is hurling here and how/where to install or initialize it? ! I appreciate your time and advice.
Thank you.

How do I get an ECAD exported .IDF file to reference my 3D STEP database when importing to Creo?
Hi,
I am trying to pass an ECAD .IDF file from Mentor Graphics Expedition into CREO Direct Modeling 18.1 (with PCB licence). So far all of the components import with component outlines and height properties but have no details associated with them. (part pins, bga balls etc.) Only square blocks appear.
I have a database of 3D STEP models in a separate directory and i would like the .IDF file to reference this folder and use the detailed STEP models as parts for the imported PCB.
From what ive read the 3D models need to be in .prt or .asm format to reference them properly. I have not found a thread that explains this process.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Creo Elements Direct Licensing issue
Hey everyone.
I have been having an issue ever since our previous CAD support person, notice I said previous , modified my system to use floating licenses.
Now everytime I start the application I get a message saying that the portable license has expired dated 11/23/2012.
Yes I have been clearing and closing the window since then because we don't know what he did.
Also, now I am unable to check out portable licenses using the licensing configuration client.
Now we aer stumped and his recent response was to re-image my laptop and reinstall the software.
Anyone have experience with this?
We have tried everything.
Thanx
Bill

No parameters when creating a new subassembly inside of an assembly.
I have an assembly that has multiple hardware items in it and I want to separate the hardware items from the rest of the components. When I select the items and click on 'Move to New Subassembly' it seems the parameters(part #, description, etc) do not appear in the new assembly. If I start a new Assembly from scratch, the parameters populate/appear in the file.
Does somebody know of a way to make the parameters appear using the 'Move to New Subassembly' feature?

Stückliste in Creo Elements/direct modeling Express, geht das?
Hallo zusammen,
ich versuche vergebens eine Stückliste mit Positionszeiger in meiner
Zeichnung einzubauen.
Da ich die Express-Version benutze habe ich den Verdacht, dass dies
hier nicht vorgesehen ist.
Wenn doch, dann habe ich die Vorgehensweise absolut nicht verstanden.
Kann mir irgendwer eine kurze Rückmeldung geben?
Mit Gruß

IGES exportieren?
Hallo zusammen,
ich habe mir unter Annotation den Schnellzugriff mit "mehr Befehle" um den
Punkt "IGES exportieren" ergänzt, da dieser Befehl erlauben soll, ein Zeichnungs-
Blatt als IGS-Datei zu exportieren.
Es scheint ja auch etwas zu funktionieren, nur dass eben folgende Fehlermeldung
kommt:
Variable
"AM_SAVE_SHEET_IGES" ist nicht gebunden usw.
Was muß ich wie und wo einstellen bzw. ergänzen, damit dieser Befehl funktioniert?
Mit Gruß

Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express 4.0, Windows 7 professional
Hallo,
bin neu hier im Forum und möchte mich kurz vorstellen:
Benutze die Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express 4.0 privat, bin Anfänger und habe gleich eine Frage:
Ich möchte mir einen neuen PC kaufen mit Intel i7 4770T, 16GB RAM usw., also eine richtig tolle und flotte
Maschine, da auf meinen jetzigen PC (Acer Nettop mit Intel Atom, ca. 5 Jahre alt) es nicht wirklich Spaß macht.
Man wird zum Dauer-Kaffee-Trinker und Kettenraucher!
Ich möchte natürlich dann auch das Betriebssystem wechseln, nämlich auf Windows 7 64 bit professionall.
Und genau hier habe ich meine Frage:
In den Systemvoraussetzungen von PTC steht nämlich NICHTS von der Professionall.
Zitat:
Systemvoraussetzungen:
- Betriebssystem:
- Windows® 7 Ultimate, Enterprise, Business und Home Premium (32-Bit- und 64-Bit-Editionen)
- Windows Vista® Ultimate, Enterprise, Business und Home Premium (32-Bit- und 64-Bit-Editionen)
- Windows XP Home und Professional (32-Bit- und 64-Bit-Editionen)
Zitat Ende.
Kann ich auch die Win 7 prof verwenden? Hat das schon jemand ausprobiert?
Für Antworten vielen Dank im voraus.
Grüße
Damian
