Enhancement Request: "Save CL file" behavior in Creo/Parametric 5.0 and Creo change back as in Wildfire 3.

Enhancement Request: "Save CL file" behavior in Creo/Parametric 5.0 and Creo change back as in Wildfire 3.

R&D changed behavior of "Save CL File" (\Edit \CLData \Output \Operation \OP010 \File \Done) in Creo/Parametric 5.0 and Creo in a PDM linked session. Now the clfilename consist of the "operation name" and the "filename" of the program (OP010_MFG0001.ncl). In older releases, the Clfilename consisted of the operation name only (OP010.ncl). When using Creo standalone, behavior is not changed.

 

R&D modified this behavior because of possible filename conflicts is the user workspace. All very well, but I do not save any cl file in the workspace. I use config.pro parameters: "pro_mf_cl_dir" and "pro_mf_tape_dir" to redirect the output of the cl files and tape files in a working directory.

 

I request an enhancement to use behavior as in a standalone session:

-       When "pro_mf_cl_dir" and/or "pro_mf_tape_dir" is set the “operator name” for the Clfilename.

-       Or create a new config.pro parameter to avoid the new behavior and use “operator name” only.

We here would also like this enhancement.  The adding of the file name to the CLData output is distracting and causes us quite a bit of problems.
