To Set Options for Data Sharing Features and Update Control
1. Click > The Creo Parametric Options dialog box opens.
2. Click Update Control. The Set options for data sharing features and update control page opens.
3. Modify Data Sharing Features creation options:
◦ Layout features update (new_layout_feature_update_state)—Sets the update relative to the source layout for newly created layout features.
▪ Update automatically—Updates the layout feature when the source layout is updated and in session.
▪ Update manually (default)—Allows manual update of the layout feature when the source layout is updated and in session. Click the
Provide outdated notification (
) check box to display the

icon next to the layout feature icon when the source layout is updated and in session.
◦ Copy Geometry features update (new_cg_update_state—Sets the update, relative to the source model, for newly created copy geometry features.
▪ Update automatically (default)—Updates the copy geometry feature when the source model is updated and in session.
▪ Update manually—Allows manual update of the copy geometry feature when the source model is updated and in session. Click the
Provide outdated notification (
) check box to display the

icon next to the copy geometry feature icon when the source model is updated and in session.
◦ Layout feature – Update children (child_of_layout_backup_update—Sets the default update state for an assembly feature referencing geometry from the layout feature.
▪ Update automatically (default)—Updates the assembly feature when the source layout is modified and in session.
▪ Update manually—Allows updating the assembly feature manually when the source layout is modified and in session. Click the
Provide outdated notification (
) check box to display the

icon next to the feature icon when the source model is updated and in session.
◦ Layout feature – Update children of Layout model (direct_child_of_layout_update)—Sets the default update for an assembly feature directly referencing the layout model through a layout feature.
▪ Update automatically—Updates the assembly feature when the source layout is modified and in session.
▪ Update manually (default)—Allows updating the assembly feature manually when the source layout is modified and in session. Click the
Provide outdated notification (
) check box to display the

icon next to the feature icon when the source model is updated and in session.
◦ Copied placement references update (copied_place_refs_update_state)—Sets the default update for newly created placement references of copy features.
▪ Update automatically (default)—Sets newly created placement references to automatic update.
▪ Update manually—Sets newly created placement reference to manual update. Click the
Provide outdated notification (
) check box to display the

icon next to the placement icon when it is outdated.
▪ No dependency—Sets newly created placement references to no dependency.
◦ Copied feature references update (copied_feat_refs_update_state)—Sets the update for newly created copied feature references.
▪ Update automatically (default)—Sets newly created copied feature references to automatic update.
▪ Update manually—Sets newly created copied feature references to manual update. Click the
Provide outdated notification (
) check box to display the

icon next to the copied feature icon when it is outdated.
▪ No dependency—Sets newly created copied feature references to no dependency.
◦ Boolean feature update—Sets the update for newly created Boolean features when the original models change.
▪ Update automatically (default)—Sets newly created Boolean features to automatic update.
▪ Update manually—Sets newly created Boolean features s to manual update.
▪ No dependency—Sets newly created Boolean features to no dependency.
4. Modify Update Control and Data Sharing Features options:
◦ Retrieve Data Sharing Feature reference model (retrieve_data_sharing_ref_parts)—Sets retrieval of a data sharing feature reference model. This option affects data sharing features set to automatic or manual with notification update.
▪ Yes—Prompts the user to accept each referenced part during the retrieval.
▪ No—Ignores referenced parts in the retrieval.
▪ Ignore Missing—Skips any missing referenced part, sends a message to that effect, and continues the retrieval process.
◦ Allow individual update control for children when updating a layout feature check box (individual_child_update)—Opens the Individual Update Control dialog box.
