Getting Started with IFX

[ChiselnMallet1]

I've been reading and searching what I can am I'm just not getting it!  I have about 10 users of CREO.  No windchill.  But I want everyone to use the IFX fasteners.  I want everyone to pull from the server.  And I want to make the IFX fasteners be named our company standard fastener names and part numbers.  Can anyone give me a run down on how to get this ball rolling?

Hello,

This might be a good place to start:

ptc learning connector

Search for IFX.

Thank you,

Amit

Hi Mike,

as Amit already mentioned you may find help in the PTC learning center.

You also find one chapter about customizing the library in the help center:

http://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/usascii/#page/assembly%2Fintelligent_fastener%2FIFX_Customize_Fastener_Library.html%23

The most important thing is, to store all your IFX fastener on a network location and set a 'search_path' to this folder or use a 'search.pro' if you have more than one folder.

You can use the IFX - Instance Creator to create all your fasteners in one step.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Oli
