Hi 

The Design Exploration extension is aimed as browsing through the design process. 

It enables to save either a solution (the end of the design process) or the whole session with the entirety of the possibles (.tmz extension). 

So if you still need to store solutions like, say, variants of the solution, then you need to manually and iteratively accept the design solution as described in the Help center : https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r12/usascii//index.html#page/design_exploration/To_Accept_a_Design_Exploration_Session.html#

Hi Remy,

Well understood your purpose.

My proposition is to have the meaning to launch the different solutions in prototype, test them, and select in Dex the solution choosed.

So to have the possibility to create a STL ou Step for each solution in Dex before validate the right design.

Regards

    DEX really is about free thinking creativity, browsing through idea randomly.

     

    If the solution variants can be pulled off with discreet means then maybe it make same to rely on Family Table.


    Is it something relevant to your use case ?
