PTC Creo ModelCHECK Teacher: Layer Checks

Creo ModelCHECK > teacher > PTC Creo ModelCHECK Teacher: Layer Checks

Layers are a means of grouping items and then performing operations on them as a group such as displaying or blanking, plotting, selecting, and suppressing.

What Creo ModelCHECK does with layers

• Report information—Lists all the layers and the number of items on them.

• Display status—Checks the display status of the standard named layers. If a layer is found to have the wrong display status, a Set Status button in the layer report will allow for automatic correction of the layer.

• Standard items—Checks that layers have the standard items on them. If items are found that are on the wrong layer, or not on any layer when they are supposed to be on a specific one, an Add button in the layer report will allow for automatic movement of items to their proper layers.

• Legacy layers—If configured to do so, a Move button in the layer report will allow you to move all items from an old or legacy layer to a new layer. Creo ModelCHECK will then delete the old layer.

The following layers have to be in all your parts:

NAME	DISPLAY STATUS	Standard Items
AXES	BLANK	DATUM_AXIS
CSYS	BLANK	DATUM_CSYS
CURVES	BLANK	DATUM_CURVE
DATUMS	BLANK	DATUM_PLANES
ROUNDS	NONE	ROUND
DRAFT	NORMAL	DRAFT
CHAMFERS	NORMAL	CHAMFER
COSMETICS	NONE	COSMETIC_ALL

For example, the following layers will be replaced with new layers in all your parts:

OLD LAYER	NEW LAYER
DTMS	DATUM_ALL
