To Manually Check the Status of TIMs and ATB-enabled Imported Features
1. Select one or more Translated Image Models (TIMs) or ATB-enabled features. Clear the selection buffer to check the status of all the ATB-enabled geometry in the active model.
2. Click > > > or the Check Status icon on the tool bar that you have customized. If you have selected a TIM or an ATB-enabled feature from the Model Tree, right-click, and select > on the shortcut menu.
If the selection buffer is empty, confirm to perform Check Status of all ATB-enabled geometry in the active model.
◦ The icons of the out-of-date TIMs and the ATB-enabled features in the Model Tree change to red.
◦ The icons of the TIMs or the ATB-enabled features with broken links in the Model Tree change to yellow. A broken link occurs when the reference model cannot be found or the reference model found by Check Status is older than the version of the reference file to which the TIM or the ATB-enabled feature was last updated, such as for NX.
◦ The icons of the TIMs or the ATB-enabled features that are up-to-date retain their blue color in the Model Tree if the reference model is found and the Check Status function determines that the reference model has not changed after the last update.
◦ If there are no out-of-date TIMs or ATB-enabled features, a message appears in the Creo Parametric message window that all geometry is up-to-date. If there are one or more out-of-date TIMs or ATB-enabled features, a warning message appears in the Creo Parametric message window stating that these TIMs or ATB-enabled features are out-of-date, have missing reference, or are up-to-date.
◦ The system generates a log file, topo_bus.log, and stores it in the working directory.
◦ If the > > > command appears checked (the default), the Information Window opens showing the contents of the topo_bus.log file.
