Automation - Export part/assembly to different STEP file options

[SikSha_4499023]

Hi all, Greetings!

I need to automate export part/asm to STEP format with different options OR through different profile files in Creo. I checked Mapkey does not work. Anybody suggests how to do it? OR any API or batch files that can solve/work.

Try to change config.pro option "export_profiles_step" (pointing to .dep_step) and do export.

If this will be working for you than you can write two mapkeys: each for a profile.

In mapkey:

1. change option (path and file .dep_step)

2. export to step

Thank you @YaroslavSin
Sorry replying late!!!

It works with mapkey by selecting different profiles manually.
But not able to automate as once we change config option, we need to restart Creo to replicate changes.
Even if you create mapkey's with different profiles (by selecting from option) it takes default profile set for all mapkey's created.
So mapkey doesn't work for automate STEP export with different profiles.

You can load a dep_step file in export window.

In my config.pro

mapkey $F5 will load "def_profile_ap214.dep_step" from the current working dir and makes export to step.

mapkey $F6 will load "def_profile_ap242.dep_step"
