IDF Import template

IDF Import template

Hello,

 

I have a problem in Creo 7.0, when I try to import an IDF with some small components in it. I get a warning that asks me to change the sketch. I found where the problem comes, I need to use the inlbs_part_ecad_rel.prt not the inlbs_part_ecad_abs.prt template. I renamed it and it works very well.

But I am looking for a cleaner way to use it.

Is there an option in config.pro which allows to replace the inlbs_part_ecad_abs template into inlbs_part_ecad_rel when used for importation? I already tried template_ecadpart option, but no change.

 

Thank you! 😊

The option specifying the template for an ECAD part is:

template_ecadpart
Specifies the model that will be used as the default part template when importing ECAD formats. The model should be a solid part (Part > Solid).
 
No way to tell why it is not working for you. How many config.pro files are loaded at start up? If one of them is a config.sup this may prevent you from changing some options.
 
In general, you should use absolute accuracy and not relative accuracy in all models. I would be interested to see why the import is working with relative accuracy and not with absolute accuracy. Can you post the idf file for this ECAD component?

Hello!

 

Sure! It helps me figure out the issue. It was prevented by a macro.

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post the IDF. Sorry!
