Creo Cabling .NWF ignoring thickness

Hello,

 

I have an .NWF file that I have generated using a script, and it ignores all thickness/gauge/csa values that I put into it, and creo consistently lists all thicknesses for each wire as being 14.8221mm. for example, here's an excerpt of one of my new wires- 

NEW WIRE_SPOOL BLACK
PARAMETER TYPE WIRE
PARAMETER COLOR BLACK
PARAMETER WIRE_CSA 0.5

PARAMETER THICKNESS 0.8

PARAMETER WIRE_GAUGE 16

etc. 

 

I have MANY wires, all with different gauges, and they all show up as spools with these dimensions:

I can't edit them either, and no changes in the .nwf change anything in creo. I'd greatly appreciate help here. thanks!

Hi,

 

You definitely have something strange going on there...

I tried the single spool you listed

 

NEW WIRE_SPOOL BLACK
PARAMETER TYPE WIRE
PARAMETER COLOR BLACK
PARAMETER WIRE_CSA 0.5
PARAMETER THICKNESS 0.8
PARAMETER WIRE_GAUGE 16

 

 

and in creo 9.03 it looked OK and all parameters were editable...

The min_bend_radius seems to default to zero and perhaps you should have MM or INCH parameter as well. In my case the units defaulted to MM.

Do you clear the old logical references and delete the old spools in your test assembly before you read the new logical nwf-file? Try to import the latest nwf to a new assembly and see if anything changes.

 

Br,

Lars
