Creo File Password Protection

Creo File Password Protection

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.

I am Kamlesh from GMMSPL value added reseller


2. What version of Creo Parametric are you currently running?

 

Creo 8.0.1.0

3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
In this competitive age, everyone wants to protect their IP by protecting files and data, especially Creo data.

So it will be very very helpful, if we can protect our Creo part, asm, drw file using password, so that no one can view it without password.

Following are the points that should be required

1) No one can view the file

2)No one can save as the file
3)No one can modify the file

4)No one can edit the program, relation, parameter.
4. What is the use case for your organization?

 

We can easily do this in PLM if I am not wrong, but what about the single, double, or triple seat of Creo Customer.

 

So it will protect the IP of the customer 

5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?

 

Industry growth.

Adding the option to apply the file protection to all assembly components all at once would be beneficial. Some of our clients request that we send the files as native creo asm and prt files, but if we spend too much times creating automation (creo Pro/Program and relations) we either have to give those automations (IP) back, or we have to spend too much time deleting relations and other IP from each of the part and assembly files.

Maybe this could be impememented as a Creo Model Check option to quickly delete all the relations.

Also, to give proper file password protection, it would imply also encrypting the files. Wasn't it already implemented in past versions, and then later removed (the encryption part)?
