How to "fix" old models? What is the best way to move old models to new template?

[mvitárius]

Hello,

My problem is, we have old models (Made in Creo 2.0 or Creo 4.0) but now we moved to Creo 9.0.4.0 and we moved on to new company standards, which means a lot of new parameter, and relations.

But with old models comes a problem, which is, we often can't delete parameters or make new ones which are restricted.

The problem most likely comes from the old model having a different restriction table than the new one.

I think the easiest way would be to make a macro to move all the features to a new template somehow but it comes with a different set of problems.

Is there anyone who figured out a good way to pass this problem?

You need model check. If you haven't used it before this book is a good start:
