Release: Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0
Watch a video that demonstrates this enhancement:
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
Advanced Framework Design (AFX) now supports workflows with embedded components.
This enhancement enables a smooth experience with AFX, even when you are using embedded components.
Additional Information
Tips: | None. |
Limitations: | You cannot copy embedded components for reuse. This is a limitation for embedded component functionality, and not a limitation specific to AFX. Pro/Program is not supported. As a workaround, you need to manually resume/suppress features that are controlled by Pro/Program. |
Does this replace existing functionality? | No. |
Configuration option associated with this functionality: | None. |
Improvements in the Copy Component Definition Dialog Box
User Interface Location: Copy Component Definition dialog box
This enhancement allows you to better control the naming of copies. The Copy Component Definition dialog box now also shows all the framework components in the assembly in tree form. This dialog box is used whenever you want to reuse or replace components within a framework assembly.
Previously, this dialog box did not show all of the components in the framework if there were multiple instances of those components. Also, it did not structure the components in a tree form, making it difficult to know the dependencies of the components. The names for copies were created automatically, and you could not control the new names.
With this enhancement, navigating through and selecting which components to copy are much more user-friendly.
