Question

Format parameters inherited into drawing?

We upgraded from WF2 to Creo1. In WF2 we had created formats with many parameters and as the drawings were created the drawing file inherited the parameters and values. Using WF2 we could run ModelCHECK against the drawing for these parameters. Since the move to Creo1 created drawings use the same formats however the parameters do not move into the drawing (as a new one is created) and we are prompted for values redundantly for those used in multple locations (the past was one answer). After drawing create in Creo ModelCHECK indicates all parameters are missing.

Does any one know how to return this inherited behavior back to the drawing file?

Darryl,

you described very strange behaviour. I guess that you have tables in your format and model parameters are included in table cells. I suggest you to check whether your parts contain all requested parameters.

See attached files, I tried to create an example for you.

Hi Darryl...

We have the same type of parameters in our models which text in our drawings. I've tried using our models and templates (drawing templates) in Creo 1 and Creo 2. Both seem to work correctly with no added prompts. Could it be possible that you're missing some config.pro setting that was present in WF2 that's no longer present in Creo 1? What I mean is... have you made sure you're using the same configuration files?

Some companies start their drawings using a mapkey or an icon on the screen menus that runs a mapkey in the background. Were you doing this in WF2? Perhaps this mapkey or icon is missing in Creo?

There are very few reasons why you could have a problem like this... I'm not sure how to diagnose the problem remotely. Could you create a sample part and drawing template for us? Maybe if we could recreate the problem using your files, we'd have an easier time of diagnosing the problem.

Thanks!
