Can anyone tell me how I can Export the parameter table in .xml format? I only have the option for .csv and .txt. I know you can export to .xml because I have done it before, but now the option is not available.

Hi,

 

I believe there was a support article out of this.

Perhaps this applies to your case also?

 

Article - CS303553
File > Import Data/Export Data missing from Parameters window in Creo Parametric

-----------------------clip clip

Applies To:

Creo Parametric 4.0 to 8.0

 

Description:

  • How to get option to export/import parameters as XML file from Parameters dialog box
  • Import/Export parameters as XML option missing from Parameters window
  • How to import parameters as XML
  • Absence of import/export parameters as XML
  • In Parameters tab for 3D model, Import Data feature disappeared
  • Importing parameter as xml file greyed out

 

Cause:

  • ASSEMBLY license feature missing from session

 

Resolution:

  • Reconfigure or add Assembly license feature to session
    • Reconfigure Creo Parametric to use base license which has ASSEMBLY option module
      • CS60577 How to reconfigure Creo Parametric
  • To include ASSEMBLY module into session
    • File > Options
    • Licensing > Refresh License List
      • From Floating modules area, select ASSEMBLY module > OK
        • NOTE: Reconfiguration is complete for current Creo Parametric session
        • ASSEMBLY module will not exist when session is closed
  • If using Windchill, when modifying data in check-in, Import Data menu does not display in Parameters command
  • Starting from Creo Parametric 8.0.5.0, Assembly license feature is not required to import parameters via XML any more.

 

Br,

Lars

Export of parameters in XML was introduced in Creo 4 or 5. What version are you on?

Sorry, I should have listed this... I am using Creo 6.0.3.0. I was wondering if there is a config option that changed or something? I know I used to have this option.

Hi,

rename your config.pro file to ensure that the problem is related to configuration option.

Hello, 

 

I was just dealing with the same issue. The solution is kinda easy. Just use the command below "Export Data" -> "Save Configuration As". By default it saves an xml file.

 

EDIT:Aww, dayum, it doesnt save the params and values. **bleep**.

 

CREO 7.0.2.0 has the same options as you have.

Thanks!  I was wondering why it is only sometimes that I am able to export / import parameters using XML.

(in our company, sometimes a license pack without the ASSEMBLY module is assigned to me...)
