Question

Accessing Original UDF Feature Names via Creo Toolkit

Hello,

I am working on a Creo Toolkit customization that needs to identify features created from a UDF and generate sequences based on the original UDF feature names.

As described in CS196043, when a UDF is placed in Creo Parametric, the feature names from the source UDF are not preserved in the resulting model. Because of this behavior, I cannot directly compare the placed feature names with the original UDF feature names.

However, in the UDF Placement dialog, under the Options tab, the "Redefine These Features" section displays the original feature names from the source UDF. This information appears to be available somewhere internally within Creo.

I reviewed the Creo Toolkit API documentation but could not find an API that provides access to the original UDF feature names.

My question is:

  • Is there any Creo Toolkit API that allows access to the original feature names shown in the "Redefine These Features" list?
  • If not directly, is there another supported method to retrieve the mapping between placed UDF features and their source UDF feature names?

Any guidance or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
