Opening Outdated non-Creo Models without a Collaboration License

Creo Unite > Opening non-Creo Parts and Assemblies > Opening Outdated non-Creo Models without a Collaboration License

Opening the non-Creo parts and assemblies without the appropriate collaboration license creates models that cannot be updated by Creo. Those models are treated as missing components. If you do not want those out-of-date non-Creo models to open, you must set the intf3d_open_outofdate_unite configuration option to no. Alternatively, you can set the configure option to no_with_warning, in which case a notification message will appear when you try to open out-of-date non-Creo models without the appropriate collaboration license.

Here is the expected behavior for retrieving different types of top level models for different settings of the of the intf3d_open_outofdate_unite configuration option:

Configuration option setting	Top-level model is out of date	Up-to-date non-Creo assembly with out-of-date non-Creo component	Creo assembly with out-of-date non-Creo component
yes*	The model is opened as out-of-date.	The model is opened and updated, the out-of-date component is opened as out-of-date.	The model is opened and updated, the out-of-date component is opened as out-of-date.
no	The model is not opened.	The model is opened and the out-of-date non-Creo component is treated as a missing component.	The model is opened and the out-of-date non-Creo component is treated as a missing component.
no_with_warning	The model is not opened.	An alert message appears. You can choose whether to open the model or not, thus treating the out-of-date non-Creo component as missing.
