Auto Suppress Failed Components

[DR_10350020]

Hello,

Are there any configs that auto suppress failed parts on regeneration?  I am opening several parts for research that I need to regenerate and the failure diagnostics really slow me down.  Is there a way to suppress this function?

Running PTC Creo 4.0

Thanks for the help!

I am not aware of any config option that would do this. If you are repeatedly suppressing the same features/components, then you could semi automate the process with mapkeys. The Pro/Toolkit API may have a function call for this, but I doubt it.

If you can create a search rule that will collect the components/features of interest then you can select them using the search tool and then suppress using a single suppress command.

Have you tried using the suppress options in assembly mode? They may offer a quick solution if you just need to suppress items you are not interested in working with.

I have tried this, but I am looking for something more automatic that occurs as it is regenerating where creo ignores any errors that arise in the failure diagnostic.

Automating suppression in the way you are proposing is potentially problematic in the Creo modeling paradigm so I would be surprised if this could be done without using one of the API to make custom code.
