Shrinkwraps created based on simplified reps with ProProgram not updating upon regeneration

Shrinkwraps created based on simplified reps with ProProgram not updating upon regeneration

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.5.0

We have an assembly where certain sub-components might be shown or hidden (suppressed) by ProProgram, based on parameters, for different design cases. Based on that assembly we have created a simplified representation which shows only a subset of the resumed components from the original design (driven by rules). From that simplified representation we need to merge all the visible geometry into one single part and for doing that we have created a shrinkwrap and enable the option to automatically update its geometry based on the original design. While the simplified representation works properly for different design cases, the shrinkwrap does not update its geometry automatically upon regeneration. The only case when it does is when the design takes the "state" in which the shrinkwrap was created, but other cases don't. We have tried searching for some options in the config.pro that might enable such automated update, but couldn't find one that made it work.


Here are the errors that I faced
The shrinkwrap does not update its geometry as expected, although the simplified rep that was used for the creation updates without issues.

What happens if you RMB the shrinkwrap feature after updating the simplified rep and selecting the update shrinkwrap option as shown below?

Hi, thanks for your attention here!

As manual solution that would work and update the geometry of the shrinkwrap as per the original geometry and the simplified rep.

However we would like to get the same behavior just by regenerating, since 1) some of our users are not familiar enough with Creo (specially shrinkwraps) and 2) if the same operation needs to be done in several shrinkwraps it becomes cumbersome.

I tend to think there would be an option in the config.pro that basically tells a shrinkwrap to update (as you showed) whenever regeneration takes place.

Tried different ones without success yet; I am unsure at this point if the solution is in the creation of the shrinkwrap, or in the config.pro or simply cannot be done the way we want.

Any ideas are appreciated,
