Creo Version In Parameter

Does anyone know of a way to automatically show the Creo version (3, 4, 5, 6, 7,...) as a parameter?

We implemented the values in param values list, but that is a manual step for the users to change when we go to a new version. We also have it set in our start parts as well as our Windchill templates, but that is a change we will have to do every time we go to a new version. 

We are trying to be in compliance to ASME Y14.47 and  14.41

Hi @BenLoosli 

 

Set the config MC_GET_VERSION_FROM_META_DATA YN Y in config_init.mc and test the issue. After setting this I am getting the values correctly. 

 

Thanks.

I am pretty sure you will have to use one of the API programming tools (toolkit, Jlink etc.) to automate this. Unless it has been added in Creo 7+ an internal parameter accessible by the UI for the software version has not been available previously.

    How to create a parameter with value as result of check "PRO_VERSION" in ModelCHECK

     

    I guess it is time to open a PTC case.

    Hi @llie 

    TO make it working, ADD_CHK_PARAM in appropriate check file needs to set as Y and in respective start file add PRT_ADD_CHK_PARAM VERSION PRO_VERSION

     

    Thanks
