Currently setting up ModelCheck config files (at new company). Looking at all i detail for the first time in a few years. Much is documented well by PTC but some are still not.
In the Start files (/start folder), many checks are "invoked" by options (EWYN) in the Check file. Examples:
Check File option: UNITS_LENGTH Y
Start File can have for example
PRT_UNITS_LENGTH INCH
PRT_UNITS_LENGTH MM
Check File option: UNITS_LENGTH Y
Start File can have for example
PRT_UNITS_LENGTH INCH
PRT_UNITS_LENGTH MM
Check File option: DRW_FORMAT E
Start File can have for example
DRW_FORMAT MYFORMAT_IN_B.FRM
DRW_FORMAT MYFORMAT__MM_D.FRM
etc.
In the past I've laboriously worked with almost empty Check and Start files to see exactly what Start file elements are responsible for invoking the various elements of the Start file - and added comments in the Start file like this for each section:
UNITS (CALLED BY UNITS_LENGTH & UNITS_MASS, FOR PRT and ASM)
STANDARD DRAWING FORMAT NAMES (CALLED BY FORMAT_NAME)
etc.
So - Sorry the long posting, but my question is: Has anyone done any additional "mapping" of what options in Start files are related to options in Check files? Would love to swap files on this. I've also worked quite a lot on diagramming and documenting how the various ModelCheck files and settings relate to each other (to supplement / clarify) PTC's documentation on this. Happy to share these as well.
thanks in advance.
Also... I'm also setting up Design Checker in SolidWorks - far, far more sophisticated UI. Wish PTC would put some more effort into ModelCheck.
