Local Parameters Not Updating

Local Parameters Not Updating

Hi!

I am using Creo  Parametric 10.0.5.0 and am having issues with my local parameters not updating. Some background- there was an existing part very similar to the one I needed to create with some minor changes. I pulled that part from Windchill, and added it to my Workspace. From there, I did a rename & save, and updated the part accordingly. We then use cosmetic sketches to define key parameters so later we can search for parts by those parameters in Windchill. In this example, I am creating a housing for a bearing, and the OD of the housing is defined "L". From there, we have a whole "Relation Pack" where we input the specifics of the housing like housing type, size, etc. and then based on the relations and associated cosmetic sketches, it creates the bedacodes used in Windchill. Continuing with the OD of the housing example- we have something like:

if design=="FB"

     if type_lub

          BL02=L

else

          BL02=L

endif

 

This is obviously a watered down example, but you get the point.

Well, the OD of my housing is Ø82.6, and my local parameters are not updating to match each of the characteristics I have. 

I have tried deleting the relations all together, but the local parameters seem to be tied to a different part and I cannot figure out how to get it to link to this part... any and all help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated!

 

I have attached some pictures for reference.

Your screenshot shows that the parameters are locked (by Windchill). You need to unlock them or export or save as from within Windchill in a manner that does not lock the parameters.

 

There is a hidden config in Creo 10 that may enable you to modify the parameters outside of Windchill. 

 

allow_create_pdm_param yes

 

Export the model out of Windchill and open Creo without Windchill and then edit the part with this config option set.

Hi- 

I do not the parameters being locked is the issue. I have another part where the parameter is locked, but when I update it and re-generate, the local parameter updates.

Without having access to a test case model, it is hard to say what the issue is. If you post a sample model with the issue here, you will probably get faster/better feedback.
