Hi,

easy and quick solution does not exist .

Some time ago I did the same thing. If you have the appropriate knowledge, you can use the following procedure:

  1. I started Creo, opened one instance of generic part, saved it as standalone part manually and closed Creo.
  2. I used trail file generated in step 1. and "multiplied" it (using program written in Basic language) to get commands for complete FT conversion.
  3. I started Creo and played trail file prepared in step 2.

Hi,

trail file is text file containing information about actions done by user during Creo session. It contains header, action information and session end commands.

Action information can contain model name. If you understand the contents of trail file, then you can create new trail file using programming tool. You have to:

  • put header at the beginning of new trail file
  • generate you version of action information for every FT instance

Hello Naishadh

If you you using windhill , you can do a save as for all the instenses in the workspce ,then all the instenses will create as a standalone part with new name in the work-space.later check out the generic and all the instenses , Removed instenses in family table option and check in the generic part , then the latest version of the generic part will not have any instenses and it will exist as a standalone part

Hello Mr. Doreswamy,

I appreciate your idea for making all instances standalone. But I have no idea how to use windchill?

Can You please guide me for my desired operation? It would be very nice learning experience for me if you would guide me, my objective would be completed surely and I can learn new thing in Creo.

Actually, I am confused in all modules in windchill like ALT, EVENT TREE, FMCA, etc.

Hoping positive reply as soon as possible.
