Copy parameter in Mapkey won't work after re-booting Creo

if i want to select a specific parameter i dont select it but use the search function in the parameter window.

If you da a search it selects the parameter you want and you can continue with the rest of the mapkey.

I found it to be difficult to consistently select the right parameter.

I think, in fact, do you want to add specific parameters to the parts?

If so, the fastest way is to use modelcheck

Menu - -modelcheck-modelcheck-Analysis interractive-all levels-enter

It will check if you have the parameters you need, if not, it can automatically help you write to the parts, of course, this must go through the configuration of the config file.

here:

D:\Program Files\proeWildfire 5.0\modchk\text\usascii\config\check-create a file (like:0.mch)

&

D:\Program Files\proeWildfire 5.0\modchk\text\usascii\config\start-create a file (like:0.mcs)

Use Notepad to open it

To be continued...

Perhaps an easier way you can try is to export the parameter info to a file and then have the external software extract the value of the parameter directly from this file...

This is my try, not much different, but used Ctrl+F to find the parameter. Maybe this way it can be more consistent:

mapkey 7 ~ Command `ProCmdEditParameters@PopupMenuGraphicWinStack` ;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Key `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 38141958 `Ctrl+F`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `relation_dlg` `PBSearch`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ FocusIn `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Update `param_search` `PrmFilterPHLay.FilterRuleValueOptEditableMenu` \
mapkey(continued) `CODICE_DISEGNO`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `param_search` `PrmFilterPHLay.FilterRuleValueOptEditableMenu`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `param_search` `PrmFilterPHLay.FilterRuleAddPush`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `param_search` `PrmSearchFindPush`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `param_search` `PrmSearchClosePush`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ FocusIn `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Key `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 589833 `Tab`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Key `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 589833 `Tab`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Key `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 37945347 `Ctrl+C`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `relation_dlg` `PB_OK`;

Also, if your mapkey doesn't work, stop and inspect your trailfile to see what is causing the failure.

Only two things occur to me:

1) Record another mapkey to do the same thing in a separate session and see what differences show up

2) You have a mapkey with the same name being restored after the one you recorded and so of course it won't work.

For the second one, check all the config.pro files that you are loading to see if that mapkey is being saved elsewhere. You should also be able to use the pull-down and see which files are being loaded in the Option dialog. At least one of them should have mapkey 7.

That hasn't worked? Strange, works on Creo 3...

Here is another try, I cleaned all the junk on this one:

mapkey 7 ~ Command `ProCmdEditParameters`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 2 `rowCODICE_DISEGNO` `value`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `relation_dlg` `PBCopy`;~ Activate `relation_dlg` `PB_OK`;

If the mapkey finds something unexpected it may ignore it and continue until the end. This way you will never know what went wrong.

Unless you take a look at the trailfile, Creo registers everything there. Open the trailfile, run the mapkey, reload the trailfile and search for error lines in the end of the file.

That's it.

Note: this mapkey will only work if a component is selected.

Just add the parameter as a column in the model tree. You can then directly copy or change the value.

No need for a mapkey.

The above would work great except for a peculiar glitch in the Creo selection process. Sigh.

If the item is locked in the Workspace or is otherwise in a non-modifiable state, Creo first prompts the User that the item can't be changed and after that dialog box is dispatched, rewards the user by replacing the line with a blank line, so there is nothing to copy. When anything else is selected, Creo then replaces the blank with the original value. Look, but don't touch.

That aside, in reproducing the steps above I had no trouble, which leads me back to thinking this has more to do with not correctly loading the desired mapkey. It may also be failing because the models on later days are being locked and the mapkey as created is not working with the locked parts. I notice the part that says 'Edit' just before "Copy', but I think the right mouse button produces a menu with Copy on it that does not involve an Edit.
