Transfer User–Defined Attributes When Importing Creo Elements/Direct Models
You can transfer user-defined attributes (UDAs) when loading a Creo Elements/Direct Modeling model into Creo Parametric.
User Interface Location: Click File > Open. In the Type list, select Creo Elements Direct.
Release: Creo Parametric 7.0.1.0
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
You can transfer User-Defined Attribute (UDA) information when you load a 3D model created in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling into Creo Parametric. This preserves additional design intent in the form of UDAs that might be attached to models by add-on modules, third-party applications, or customizations.
UDAs are transferred to parameters in Creo Parametric. Supported UDAs are attached to the content information of parts, assemblies, and containers.
Use the following import profile options:
Include User-Defined Attributes to specify the inclusion of UDAs in the import
Custom Attribute List to restrict transfer to specified UDAs and apply a user-defined prefix for the resulting parameters in Creo Parametric
Include Rigid-Cable-Advisor Data As Points to create datum points for point data in the user-defined attribute rigid_cable_advisor
Additional Information
Tips:
Transfer only required UDAs and define a short prefix for each.
Limitations:
Transferred attribute values are limited by the maximum supported length of parameters in Creo Parametric. If you exceed the limit, the value is split and transferred into indexed parameters.
Does this replace existing functionality?
