Description
When you import a Creo Elements/Direct model that includes docuplanes with unsupported special characters in their names, Creo Parametric now automatically replaces those characters with underscores (_), enabling successful import and conversion to combined states.
To prevent duplicate names, Creo Parametric ensures uniqueness by keeping the first occurrence unchanged and appending incrementing numeric suffixes (for example, Name_, Name_1, Name_2) to subsequent duplicates.
Characters naming in Creo Elements/Direct:
The Structure Browser dialog box in Creo Elements/Directshowing docuplanes with characters that were previously unsupported.
Characters naming in Creo Parametric:
The View Manager dialog box in Creo Parametric showing docuplanes with characters that were previously unsupported.
Benefits
• Improves interoperability between Creo Parametric and Creo Elements/Direct.
• Eliminates the need to remove unsupported characters from Creo Elements/Direct docuplanes.
Additional Information
Tips:
This enhancement applies to the following characters:
• Period .
• Plus sign +
• Parenthesis ()
• Backtick `
• Spaces—except as the first or last character
Limitations:
No known limitations.
Does this replace existing functionality?
Previously, any docuplane with an unsupported character would fail to be imported to Creo Parametric. With this enhancement, these docuplanes are successfully imported and converted to combined states.
Configuration option associated with this functionality:
None.
