Hi,

I was just exploring the potentials of PTC Creo UI editor? Can PTC Creo UI editor be used to edit the first level dialog box (part- solid, sheetmetal... ) by adding  (part-metric)user-defined to sub type?

If No, Can a External tool kit be used for having a popup menu when i select part-solid-the pop up appears with a option menu of metric and inch?

Hi,

I think your "problem" can be resolved using part templates. If you know how to work with templates and create them. Then you can access them using:

OK

Thank you!

Below is the attached image, what i was expecting.

also, I tried by unchecking the use default template and using our manual start part template, but I was not able to find a reason why the restricted drop down options does not not show up(user defined parameter designated in start part)

(image : user defined parameter shows up but the drop down tab missing)

Hi,

to  access your templates, please follow these steps:

  • create directory for your templates ... eg. C:\my_templates
  • save your template models into the above mentioned directory
  • add following option into config.pro file
    start_model_dir  C:\my_templates
  • start Creo and use steps mentioned in my previous reply
