Using the TEMPLATE_LAYERS Check
To use the TEMPLATE_LAYERS check for drawings, part models or assembly models, you must perform the following steps:
1. Create a start part, drawing, or assembly that you want to use as a standard template for checking layer rules.
2. Define standard rules for layers in the template files. Copy the template drawing, part, or assembly files to the working directory.
3. Perform the following steps to add the names of the template parts or assemblies to the .mcs start configuration file:
a. Click File > Options. The Creo Parametric Options dialog box opens.
b. Select Environment and click ModelCHECK Settings. The Modelcheck Configuration Tool dialog box opens.
c. Click
adjacent to
Configuration settings in the left pane of the
ModelCHECK Configuration Tool dialog box.
d. Click
adjacent to
Start files.
e. Select the start file that you want to modify.
f. In the Choose items to view box, select the category as Part or Assembly.
g. Click Add Row.
h. In the lower edit pane of the dialog box select Part or Assembly as the Field Value and click Add Row.
i. In the next row, for Select type of start item select Link to Template File from the Field Value list and click Add Row.
j. In the third row, for Value (Alphabetic), type the name of the template start part or assembly file.
The.mcs start configuration file is updated as follows:
◦ PRT_TEMPLATE part_tmp.prt
where part_tmp.prt is the name of the template start part.
◦ DRW_TEMPLATE drw_tmp.drw
where drw_tmp.drw is the name of the template start drawing.
◦ ASM_TEMPLATE asm_temp.asm
where asm_temp.asm is the name of the template start assembly.
|  If the template files are in the text directory you must specify the path to the start files as text/<part_tmp.prt>. |
4. Add the TEMPLATE_LAYERS check to the .mch check file.
5. Run Creo ModelCHECK. The report displays a list of layers that do not conform to the standard templates.
6. Click Reapply Standard to correct and update the model based on the standard templates.
