Question

ModelCHECK Report/Metrics Directory

Using Creo 10 on Windows 11.   How do I write the metrics and reports to a user folder using the config_init.mc file? 


Target Directory
“C:\data\<username>\Creo10\mc_report”
 

Some details that may help. 
1) We do set a username system variable that I could key into.
2) The “Creo10” folder level is the working directory which we set. 

Do I focus on the NT or not labeled options.

  • DIR_REPORT_NT or DIR_REPORT

Thanks for your advise.

Hi ​@N.Barnes 

 

Reports and Metrics to a custom Directory is possible by defining DIR_METRICS and DIR_REPORT.

DIR_REPORT - To store reports.

DIR_METRICS - To store metrics files.

Reference Article 

I hope this will help.

Thanks.

Does the user variable have to be ONLY at the start of the line or can it be in the middle?

The article has this….

  • User may define the path with system variables.
    • E.g. $USERPROFILE/AppData\Roaming\PTC\ProENGINEER\TEST

I have C:\data\$USERNAME\Creo10work\Metrics_Files, but that is not working?
 

I notice the the article has the slashes changing in the string, do I need to do that too?

Try changing the slash after Username to forward as C:\data\$USERNAME/Creo10work\Metrics_Files

When I set up ModelCheck, I put those folders on a shared drive so all users are writing to a common folder that everyone can see.

    I have created a separate folder for ModelCheck with identical path names, on all systems using Creo.

    e.g.

    D:\Creo_Data\Modelcheck_Reports

    Thus, there is no conflict of write access and everyone knows where it is.

    The only disadvantage is that it is not on a network hence the design checker would not have the last report on the model or the drawing.
