They should have a unique id (name + extension/type). If they haven't you have a problem inside your data management. Creo need a unique identifier and uses for this the filename.

 

If you have problems with doubled files you can generate a unique ID by getting the hash value from the file or something like that.

Thanks for reply Eike!

Yah there has to be  unique ID for each file (part,asm,drawing). As if  now I have not found any.

I have tried ProMdlIdGet but it's not persistent between sessions.

If I generate my own unique ID then I will need to add/attach it as a property to the part (or asm/drawing) and later I have to write a fucntion which will return the Part for given unique id.

Pro toolkit is in use for so long and I am sure people must have faced this situation.

I was wondering how did they handle it.

Oh that was quick reply.

And which function/s will allow me to find "part/Asm/Drawing" using this Parameter with specified GUID?
