Aleksey, Antonius
I am a bit puzzled now.
As correctley mentioned above, this behaviour is governed by config option create_temp_interfaces = No*/Yes.
Default value of this option was No ever since it was introduced (I guess Wildfire 1 or 2), so the fact that you see changed default behaviour in Creo02 sounds fishy. Can this be you run from different start directories that have different config.pro files ?
if you run from the same place, have no config.pro and see different behaviour I'd suggest to log case to TS with models / trail file.
In general, placement with interfaces is governed by several configuration options (besides the abowe one) :
comp_assemble_with_interface ; check_interface_criteria ; check_interference_of_matches ; comp_interface_placement ; include_sub_models_interfaces. All have reasonable descriptions of what each one defines. All the same settings can be accessed already in placement dashboard in Options tab, and in Settings dialogue / Assembly Settings.
When TEMP_INTFC001 is used, there is no need to store it in part - this is a meaning of temporary interface (for those customers who have locked / released library parts like bolts / fasteners etc).
Still if you want to store this interface for future usage in another assemblies you have RMB / "Save as Interface" option while in placement process. Thsi eventually rev's the part.
Couple more tips if you come to the field of interfaces (including TEMP_INTFC) :
- you have an option to place same component several times inside single placement session - use RMB / new Location (or same in Placement tab) for this. Very fast way for placing same bolt to several holes and likevise.
- for multiple placement you have also "Auto Place" button - this one will search for suitable locations for your part basing on its interface and assembly geometry, and suggest you where it can fit in assembly.
