Description
Creo+ has improved the behavior with out-of-date non-Creo wrapper models opened with the Creo Unite technology. When a collaboration license is unavailable, out-of-date non-Creo wrappers will be represented as missing components. Previously, when the collaboration license was not available, the Creo Unite wrapper was not updated if the non-Creo model had been modified, and Creo+ retrieved the non-updated wrapper. As a result, users occasionally overlooked the warnings and continue using an outdated representation of the model.
To mitigate the risk of using an out-of-date wrapper when the collaboration license is unavailable, Creo+ introduces a new configuration option to control this behavior:
intf3d_open_outofdate_unite—yes*, no, no_with_warning
• yes—Retrieves out-of-date wrapper files without a collaboration license (default behavior).
• no—Limits retrieving out-of-date wrapper files without a collaboration license and shows that component as missing.
• no_with_warning—Provides a notification message when retrieving out-of-date wrapper files without a collaboration license.
This assembly contains one or more non-Creo component models that cannot be updated because you do not have all the required collaboration licenses. The assembly will be retrieved without these out-of-date non-Creo models, and they will be treated as missing components. Obtain the required collaboration licenses and use standard procedures to restore missing components.
Benefits
• Provides a configuration option to control the behavior when opening a non-Creo model without a collaboration license.  Enhances clarity for users that assume they are getting the latest representation of non-Creo model, when in fact they are retrieving a previous out-of-date representation.
Additional Information
Tips:
None.
Limitations:
No known limitations.
Does this replace existing functionality?
Yes. Previously, without the collaboration license, the Creo Unite wrapper was not updated if the non-Creo model had been modified and Creo retrieved the out-of-date wrapper.
Configuration option associated with this functionality:
intf3d_open_outofdate_unite
