I have installed creo distributed batch and tried to convert my creo part files to STEP format, but after the 10th part file conversion to STEP the process becomes very very slow.Also the pc runs slowly while the distributed batch is running in the background. Can anyone help me know what is the issue here?

I am using windows 7 and 6gb ram pc. Also i have been using the standalone mode.

Hi,

  • download gentrail_2019-03-01.zip
  • unzip gentrail_2019-03-01.zip
  • put list of files into gentrail\mylist.txt file ... all files must be located in the same directory
  • double-click gentrail.exe file (created in QuickBasic QB64 language)
  • now you have mytrail.txt containing STEP export commands for your files
  • copy mytrail.txt file into the directory where your model files are located
  • launch Creo
  • play trail file

Hi,

simple suggestion ... do not use PTC Creo Distributed Batch. Instead of it generate trail file a play it in Creo session.

i need to convert more than 100 part files to STEP format which is a very time consuming task if done manually by opening each file one by one. How can i do it by generating trail files?

Thank you for your response. 

i tried the steps but i dont see any STEP files in the directory where the models are.

Also when i play the trail file in creo i get this message at the bottom "Cannot find 4 Dir(s) 22,916,067,328 bytes free. Try again, by adding a file extension such as ".prt"."

 

After converting my part files to the required format, I need to change the name according to the REV no. and tool name. Can this be done through trail files.
