Mass designation of the parameters

Good evening to everybody;

I need to designate all the parameters of the Creo components within windchill.
Is it possible to make a total designation?

I hope that someone can help me.

You will need to create attributes in Windchill with the same names (in upper case) of every parameter you want to take from Creo to Windchill. Then in your Creo Parameters table, check the Designate box for each item.

 

Putting the items into Windchill is just one step. You will also need to edit the MoreAttributes layout page to display them. Keep all Internal Names in upper case, but when you add the attribute to the layout, the upper case name will default to the display name which you will see when you do an info on an object. Change the display names to mixed case.

OK thanks.
But I had already done this procedure; the problem is that now, after many years of use, I need other parameters (thickness, weight, etc.).
So I need to designate the parameters of all existing components.

The only method I can think of may be to use ModelCheck in batch mode and have it check for the existence of a designated parameter  and if not designated, to designate it.

I am not sure how MC works within Windchill. When I ran it in batch mode, it was all external as we converted parameters from Pro/Intralink verbiage to Windchill verbiage. We exported all of the files from Pro/I, ran a customized MC in batch, then imported the files into Windchill.
