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?

Hi,

 

This is your uploaded package only. I have not made any changes in this one. Just need those lines of code for body_02 missing in the .bas file. I have attached a screenshot as well pointing to the same.

 

 

cheers


Hi,

I added following line into gentrail.bas file (probably I forgot to save gentrail.bas file after generating gentrail.exe file in the past).

PRINT #2, "~ Input `file_open` `Inputname` `"; filename$; "`"

Also I attached zip file containing corrected gentrail.bas file.
