Improvements to ifx_data.cfg Files
You can put additional information in ifx_data.cfg files.
Release: Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
You can add the following:
• #KEYWORD#NAME to your ifx_screw_data.cfg or ifx_pin_data.cfg
• KEYWORD and NAME to your fastener data file (*.dat)
• Optionally, add a column with #KEYWORD and with NAME for each instance in your fastener data file (*.dat).
You can use different configuration values for different fastener types or sizes. This provides more flexibility and more possibilities for customization.
Example
Add sections for domed cap nuts to your ifx_screw_data.cfg file. These nuts require different protrusions of bolt ends than in dependence on DIN 78.
