In case when I want to integrate legacy fasteners from existing models, the models has all necessary dimensions values.

It is possible do not fill all dimensions in the table (dat file) ?

Hi Yaroslav,

even if you use your legacy parts, you have to specify the values in the DAT file. We need these values for the 2D preview in the dialog.

If you remove the DG and P column, then the default values from the ifx_screw_data.cfg (former sl_data.cfg) are taken.

But you are right. If you integrate legacy fasteners you can remove all unnecessary columns like the "BUW_NAME" column.

You find a image for each fastener type in the Creo Help Center. There you can see which values are needed.
