Hello,
Where do I make the configuration within CREO to save the drawing sheet, could I make it automatic? Printed below
Hi,
do you mean information enclosed by red rectangle? You have to enter it manually.
Creo does not care where the files are stored (when not connected to Windchill). The user must ensure that Creo finds the files (using the config.pro search_path option).
If you are using Windchill, you can use PTC_WM_LOCATION.
Hello,
No and it's being used locally, inside CREO itself
Due to the fact that even if you have saved the drawing in one spot, you can’t be probably sure to find it here. With Toolkit you can do this, but I would not do this.
If you look a way to find your latest drawing and where it is stored, a lot of scripting software provides options to watch a folder tree, and if a new file is saved an event is triggered. This event could be used to write the filename to a database, where you later easily find the folder where the drawing was saved. I prefer SQLite for such a thing, because no server is needed and a lot of viewer are available.
Without the use of some type of relational database or PDM system, I would just add the name of the CAD file(s) along with the revision on the drawing. This should enable the retrieval of the correct revision of the files assuming they are vaulted and accessible.
