Creo parametric software10/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The ribbon is meant to make it easier for new users to find commands, because, as one old-timer put it, “In Pro/E, you could find any command - in seven mouse clicks.” For power users, the old Mapkeys facility continues to work. Opening either Creo Direct or Parametric brings up the new ribbon interface along the top, and a not-new integrated Web browser in the drawing area. ![]() Usability: Besides a new name, the Creo line of software sports the now-common ribbon user interface and a softer blue-green color scheme. When PTC launched Creo, their aim was to solve, “four unaddressed problems in the MCAD space: usability, interoperability, assembly management and technology lock-in.” PTC provided me with Creo Parametrics and Creo Direct for me to check out their claims. Tech support and I continue to work at finding a better fix to the problem. (The batch file is in C:Program FilesFLEXnet Admin License Serverbin). Tech support advised me to use Task Manager to stop the license server service (lmadmin_ptc), and then run the ptcadminstartservice.bat file to restart it. Because Creo could not communicate with the license server, it asked if I wanted to save my work before it exited. Tech support guided me through the multi-step process for applying for a new license from the PTC website.ĭays later, Creo balked at running when I reopened the lid of my notebook computer, waking it from sleep. In my case, the serial number I received was incorrect, preventing installation. The server works by tying the Creo license(s) to your computer’s CPU serial number and monitoring the network card every few minutes. Some customers experience no problems others have problems, as I did. The server software installs on your computer, and it determines whether you are allowed to run the software. Installing Creo is much like other software, with one exception: The license server. When it comes time to decide on licensing Creo from PTC, you have the two same choices, Creo Parametric (i.e., Pro/E) or Creo Elements/Direct (i.e., CoCreate) everything else is a module that you call from one of these two, such as sketches, layouts and simulation. ![]()
