Question

Pack and go from Model Manager

I have a project stored in my Model Manager installation (models and drawings).

 

I have to send my project to my customer that is also using Creo Direct/Modeling but without Model Manager.

 

Is there a quick way to export model and drawings in a single zip file? The task is easy for the 3d-model, but I don't find the way to automatically collect all drawings related to this design.

Hello Ale

You should export sdexp format. SDEXP format has been designed to share between different Model Manager instances. A SDEXP file will contain all useful data including: 3D files and assies, 2D files, meta data, change notes and how to load this material in Modeling/Annotation.

I guess I'm not able to follow your istructions, but:

 

1) If I export the masterdata of the main assembly the system create a complete 3d file but just the 2d drawing related to that masterdata, and it misses all other drawings of subparts and subassemblies contained in the main assembly.

 

2) If I export the 3d model of the mai assembly, the system gives to me just the complete main assembly and nothing else.

 

3) If I export a certain package, all things in that package are exported but it is possibile that other parts of subassembly are missed due to the fact that they are stored in a different package.

The SDEXP File contains "only" a single Drawing because only one Drawing can be loaded in Annotation at a time,
so SDEXP basically simulates a "load from Model Manager".
If you want to export all Drawings of all subassemblies/parts of a bigger assembly, you would need to develop some Java customization.
However, even if you have managed to export all drawings, the "receiver" of this data would still have to load one drawing at a time.
