Question

creo parametric - restricted variable file from cloud won't load

Hi there,

recently i decided to create a specific restricted parameter to add in my start part.prt

i've followed the "external file" approach and i 've created a .txt with my   parameter.

Then i've updated my config.pro adding the path of the new file.

Initially Creo (version 9.06) was not loading the file and i could understand why.

After few trials i've found my issue.

My configuration files were stored in a windows folder managed by nextcloud (the cloud storage software my company use ). 

By the time i moved the restricted parameters file into a local folder , (such as my desktop)

Creo was perfectly able to load the file and use the parameter.

My question here is how to keep the possibility to store the file among the other configuration files inside the cloud environment.

Does Creo agent have anything to do with this?

Creo Agent should not have anything to do with this.

I store my restricted_params.dat file on a shared network drive and everyone here loads it successfully. Try to navigate to your shared folder location from with Creo to see if you can get there. IT may be blocking something along the path. Are you using a shared drive letter (P:/) or a UNC path (//server/folder) to locate the file in your config.pro?

Thank you Ben for your super fast reply.

The past i was using is like :

C:\Users\my_name\Nextcloud\CREO\Settings\restricted.txt

At same address a lot of other config files are pointed like:

holes table

standard parts

materials library 

and so on

Do your other settings work properly when using that same folder structure?

The restricted parameter file is very easy to format incorrectly which will cause it to not read when Creo tries to load it.

 

You cannot assign a restricted parameter file to a start part, it is system wide load when Creo starts.
