IDF Import template

Question

Hello,

I have a problem in Creo 7.0, when I try to import an IDF with some small components in it. I get a warning that asks me to change the sketch. I found where the problem comes, I need to use the inlbs_part_ecad_rel.prt not the inlbs_part_ecad_abs.prt template. I renamed it and it works very well.

But I am looking for a cleaner way to use it.

Is there an option in config.pro which allows to replace the inlbs_part_ecad_abs template into inlbs_part_ecad_rel when used for importation? I already tried template_ecadpart option, but no change.

Thank you! 😊

The option specifying the template for an ECAD part is:template_ecadpartSpecifies the model that will be used as the default part template when importing ECAD formats. The model should be a solid part (Part > Solid). No way to tell why it is not working for you. How many config.pro files are loaded at start up? If one of them is a config.sup this may prevent you from changing some options. In general, you should use absolute accuracy and not relative accuracy in all models. I would be interested to see why the import is working with relative accuracy and not with absolute accuracy. Can you post the idf file for this ECAD component?
