About Associative Topology Bus (ATB) Model Parameters
Model parameters are created in every Translated Image Model (TIM) part or assembly when you import a part or assembly into Creo Parametric. The values of the parameters are updated for each subsequent Associative Topology Bus (ATB) update. The model parameters of a TIM are as follows:
• DEX_MASTER—The name of the reference model without the file extension. For example, if the reference model is block1.model, the value is block1.
• NATIVE_NAME—For most formats, except for single-file reference models imported as TIM assemblies, the NATIVE_NAME parameter value matches the DEX_MASTER value. For single-file reference models imported as TIM assemblies, the TIM components have NATIVE_NAME parameter values based on the internally-defined component names in the reference model or a combination of the reference-model name and the internal IDs of the solids representing the TIM components. The Model Tree displays this value for TIMs when ATB is enabled.
• CAD_SYSTEM—The source system of the TIM, for example, Neutral, CATIA, or NX.
• MODEL_VERSION—The internal revision number of the reference model as of the last update. For ATB-enabled formats that do not support internal revision numbers, this value is N/A.
• MODEL_DATE—If the reference model format does not support internal file dates, this is the system file date of the reference model as of the last update. If the format supports internal file dates, this is the internal file date as of the last update. If the format does not support internal revision numbers, this model date is used for the Check Status criteria.
• TIM_STATUS—The current status of the TIM as of the last update. The values are Up-To-Date, Out-Of-Date, Old-Version, and Missing Ref Model.
• REF_LINK—The full path to the last updated version of the reference model, including the model name.
