I have installed creo distributed batch and tried to convert my creo part files to STEP format, but after the 10th part file conversion to STEP the process becomes very very slow.Also the pc runs slowly while the distributed batch is running in the background. Can anyone help me know what is the issue here?

I am using windows 7 and 6gb ram pc. Also i have been using the standalone mode.

Hi,

  • download gentrail_2019-03-01.zip
  • unzip gentrail_2019-03-01.zip
  • put list of files into gentrail\mylist.txt file ... all files must be located in the same directory
  • double-click gentrail.exe file (created in QuickBasic QB64 language)
  • now you have mytrail.txt containing STEP export commands for your files
  • copy mytrail.txt file into the directory where your model files are located
  • launch Creo
  • play trail file

Hi,

simple suggestion ... do not use PTC Creo Distributed Batch. Instead of it generate trail file a play it in Creo session.

i need to convert more than 100 part files to STEP format which is a very time consuming task if done manually by opening each file one by one. How can i do it by generating trail files?

Hi,

I use following steps:

  • start Creo
  • open model
  • generate STEP file
  • end Creo
  • now I have sample of trail file (you can upload yours)
  • in the trail file I can find name of opened file
  • I can repeat the part of trail file and replace the name of the first part by the name of second part and so on ... this step can be processed by simple program (eg. written in BASIC language)
  • the program generating trail file needs to know the list of model names (if all models are in the same directory, you can get such list running dir /b /one > mylist.txt command from DOS prompt window and removing unwanted items from mylist.txt file in Notepad

Note: I can write simple BASIC program for you, if you provide trail file.
