Mapkey for create parameters

[Dom_CHENTRE]

hello,

I'm trying to create a mapkey that would create about 10 parameters for old prt files.

However, if one parameter even exist, mapkey stop.

Anyway to continue for others parameters?

Thanks

For 10 parameters, import a file. I would import a parameter file using .xml file to add the parameters to the model. You can still use a mapkey but try importing the file and see if that works to overwrite any existing parameters. I have not tested this, YMMV.

If you have model check it does a good job of adding parameters as well.

Thanks !
Never used Model Check 🙂
I assume it's very useful.
But I've never use this tool.
Is there any link to learn how to use it ?
I've got a subscription Creo (9-10...) 
But my client need to get Creo 2 files ... 😞

Thanks,

How can I'm reconnecting on PTC Community with my own account ?
It seems not to be possible…
Thanks

Hi,

go to https://www.ptc.com/en/support/ page and Log out (in top right corner).

If you have never used model check its probably best to do @MartinHanak 's suggestion and switch to the old style parameter interface and do it that way. Model check can be a chore to setup.

Thanks a lot !
I'm frustrated ...
I've got Creo 9 (and 10, but not used).
However, My client use Creo 2.
And it seems that this option is not avalable.

Just export, but no import option.

Another possible option, though I don't know if it will work with Creo 2:

Make a part file somewhere it's easy for you to get at. Like, for me I would put it in "C:\ptc".

Put all the parameters you want in that file.

Record a mapkey with the steps necessary to do the work you want:

(1) Open that file (by accessing it through a full directory traversal)

(2) Open the parameters via Tools->Parameters

(3) Copy the ones you want to add to the old files by highlighting them and Edit->Copy

(4) Get rid of the file you copied the parameters from using Manage Session->Erase Current

(5) Open the parameters in the file you want to update via Tools->Parameters

(6) Edit->Paste the copied parameters in.

If any of the parameters being copied in already exists, you'll get a message asking you what to do, but since it's the last command in the mapkey it might just work.

You'll probably have to experiment a bit with this to get it working, if it will work at all, but that's how it goes sometimes.

This Question is very different of subject.
But  I've made a mistake and connect with an account of an old friend.
Impossible to connect with my own account.
How to do ?
Thanks

Hi,

if you add hidden option NEW_PARAMETER_UI no into config.pro, then Creo will use following old style menu for managing parameters. This enables you to create mapkey you need.

Hi everybody,

I tested NEW_PARAMETER_UI no now in creo8 and it doesn't work any more... 😞
