Startup files setup

Hello,

 

I have a question about a startup files. If I would like to setup two startup files for parts and two for assemblies, let's say one for general design and one for tooling, each would have it's own set of parameters, which I would then call into assemblies and then further onto drawings. Now when I copy one from the other, and try to change the parameters on one, they also change on the other, why is that? How could I separate these startparts so they are completely standalone? 

I am using Creo 9.0.5.0 and am connected to Windchill release 12.1.2.5.

 

For any info, thank you very much.

Hello,

 

I apologize for unclarity, what I meant was the tree columns will not be displayed independently from each other. Example: If I change tree columns in startpart_A to match the parameters that startpart_A has, tree columns also change in startpart_B, so I end up with the same tree columns in both, but I don't want that. Parameters themselves stay like they were, written in each startpart differently, so that is correct. Is there maybe a problem because path in config file points to a single startpart?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

AFAIK model tree configuration is related to mode (Part, Assembly). This means Creo does not change columns displayed in model tree when you switch between your startpart_A and startpart_B. Maybe it is possible to create mapkey which hides startpart_A columns and display startpart_B columns (and vice versa).

Be sure you only have 1 of the start templates loaded in memory when you make the changes.

Create the first start template.

Check it in to Windchill.

Copy the template by doing a Save As.

Close and erase all files from memory.

Open the second template and make your changes.

Check in the second template.

Depends on your needs, but it is not required to have Templates saved in Windchill.

I know, but for convenience sake, they will be put on Windchill. Thanks.

Hi,

I do not understand following sentence:

Now when I copy one from the other, and try to change the parameters on one, they also change on the other, why is that?
