Vinoth,

you have to modify environment variable PATH and add a path similar to the following one at the end of definition:

C:\PTC\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin

Vinoth,

find someone in your neighbourhood, how can manage your PC and ask him for a help.

You can also use GOOGLE to find out "How to set PATH variable in Windows"

Hi all,

I know really good the problem with purge command .

If you use 32bit platform - everything is OK.

But if you use 64bit platform - sometimes do you need to set corect PATH (environment variable PATH - Thanks Martin Hanak ) only and sometimes do you need to change purge.bat file too.

Question is - where is the problem? - answer is - system does not recognise your corect platform (64bit)

Here is the solution for you:

You can edit purge.bat file and set/fix variable from:

@echo off

set MC=unset

if "%PROCESSOR%" == "INTEL_64" set MC=ia64_nt

if "%PROCESSOR%" == "INTEL_486" set MC=i486_nt

if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" == "IA64" set MC=ia64_nt

if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" == "AMD64" set MC=x86e_win64

if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" == "x86" set MC=i486_nt

if not "%MC%" == "unset" goto mc_done

echo ERROR Cannot detect what machine type you have.

echo Please make one of the following settings:

echo.

echo set PROCESSOR=INTEL_486 - For Windows NT Intel based machines.

echo.

echo set PROCESSOR=INTEL_64 - For Windows Intel Itanium based machines.

echo.

exit

:mc_done

set PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=%MC%

.

To:

@echo off

set MC=x86e_win64

set PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=%MC%

.

In the attachment you can find my (modified) purge.bat file for Windows XP 64bit

Vladimir

Hi Vinoth,

Download purge.bat file and then Replace original file in ProE/Creo folder (....instalation folder\bin\purge.bat)

For example: D:\ptc\proeWF5\bin\purge.bat

Dear Dien,

The message "Logout of process to leave Operating System" - means - that system has closed the command window in the Creo.

Can you try to use the purge command with mapkeys? - I have created the mapkey for you "key sequence is pu in the Creo - see the attachment (copy mapkey to your confic.pro file)

I have the same problem with the DOS window shutting down instantly. I can work around for purge, but I don't have any other way to edit a repeat region on a table. I would like to find out why the DOs window crashes right away?

Hi

Do you need to set system Environment Variable = PATH to your purge.bat file

for example: d:\ptc\proeWF4\bin\

Maybe you should try the spekan purge software, this works very well to purge files. I found a link here: http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0e83f216-7c5c-4486-b198-c9333315cfff&file=spurge_3.1.zip

I can purge by opening up a dos prompt and going into the directory in question. The purge command still works, I just can't open a dos prompt from the pull down "windows/open system window". The larger problem I have is that I cannot edit filters on a repeat region in a table because the dos window crashes when it tries to open.

Brian, you might open a customer service case to help you resolve this. The Customer service tech can get online with you and see if they can capture the event that causes a problem. If you do not have access to the customer service part of the PTC site, please get with your IT administrator.

This purge issue is seeming to get worse, while I am aware of the global variable setting for the PATH to the PURGE.BAT I have recently found that even that is not working, as I have just had a reinstall of my system 4 weeks ago after window update corrupt the OS, I also installed M050 at the same time, and I couldn't get the PURGE command to work.

So, I decided to find a simpler solution.

I made a copy of the origninal PURGE.BAT file

Then I edited the PURGE.BAT as follows

This is now my purge.bat file.

The main line is the 3rd from the bottom, it is the location of the purge.exe file.

And the the SET MC= command at the top is the system version installed " hint" it is in the path statement for the location PURGE.EXE

It appears that most of the purpose of the Purge.bat is to establish the path location to call the PURGE.EXE.

So I just made it simple and told it exactly where to look without the need to go to global variables, as our IT dept, is really craking down with restriction on what we can run and edit.

This solution has worked for me, and at this momnet I haven't seen any side effects.

Always remember, when you are experimenting, alway back up the files first, so you can undo it, if you make a mistake.

just some ideas for comment.

I am new for this option ,can you please tell what is purging? and what is the use of it?

When you save files in Pro-E, it indexes the extension. (i.e. part.prt.1, part.prt.2 part.prt.3, ....)

So after many saves you will have a lot of extra files around. Once you are set with your design (or a good intermediate step) you can purge some or all of the old extensions. (When you open a part, is automatically selects the highest extension of the part - part.prt.58 if that is the latest)

So depending upon the purge program, you can save the latest however many extensions in case a file is corrupted and you need to go back to a previous version.

Hope that helps,

Dale
