How to remove Intralink parameters in Creo models

Sometimes you need to clean up CAD data before sharing it with a third party or you would like to update Start parts templates and remove old PDM parameters.

You need to Set config.pro options:

dm_emulate_ilink_sys_parameters=yes

allow_create_pdm_param=yes

    This is great! I can update our company start part/assembly, but why do I have to be offline?  I need to be able to checkout the start files from our Windchill, remove the dead intralink parameters and then check back in.

     

    *edit*  Nevermind, I made the changes offline, then reapplied the server and added them to the workspace they were checked out in to check-in the modified versions.

      Hi, thanks for your note.

       

      If I need to update start files that are stored in Windchill, I use the process that I download files to local hard drive and then I remove parameters.

      After update start files - I will update data in Windchill.

       

      Your process of using Offline mode is also good ðŸ˜‰

       

      Thanks again and have a nice day.

      We have Creo10.

      I can't find both options in the configuration editor:

      • :dm_emulate_ilink_sys_parameters=yes
      • allow_create_pdm_param=yes

      Are those hidden in Creo10?

      Yes they are hidden. Put them into your config.pro and then launch Creo and you should be able to modify the parameters

      Close Creo, add them to your local config.pro and then restart.

      They are now in the config.pro but I still can't remove the Intralink parameters (they are still locked).2026-02-11 13_41_38-Parameters.jpg2026-02-11 13_39_00-Creo Parametric.jpg2026-02-11 13_38_40-Creo Parametric.jpg

      You have to get out of a linked session.

       

      File -> Manage Session -> Server Management -> NO SERVER

       

      Then try

      Its been a while since I have done this. Try backing it up to a local (ie C: ) drive; verify that you are not in a linked session and then open it from the local drive and see if you can make the change. If that doesn't work try all of these steps:
