Transferring Configurations from Creo Elements/Direct to Explode States
When importing a Creo Elements/Direct 3D model to Creo Parametric, existing configurations in Creo Elements/Direct are automatically transferred to explode states in Creo Parametric.
User Interface Location: Click Open and then in the Type box, select Creo Elements/Direct.
Release: Creo Parametric 5.0.0.0
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
You can use additional data from Creo Elements/Direct in Creo Parametric when converting 3D models. You can use operations from Creo Elements/Direct in Creo Parametric. The conversion of a configuration into to Creo Parametric supports the following:
• Alternative positions of components in an assembly explode state
• Orientation of the configuration
• Showing and hiding of components of a configuration
• Transfer of configurations in Creo Elements/Direct to an explode State or combined state
• Support of multiple configurations for an assembly
The following shows a configuration in a Creo Elements/Direct model imported to Creo Parametric:
Default state in Creo Parametric
Explode state in Creo Parametric
Additional Information
Tips:
None.
Limitations:
When hiding or showing multiple levels, such as an assembly and its components, the results may not exactly match with the results in Creo Elements/Direct.
Does this replace existing functionality?
This is an enhancement to existing functionality.
Configuration options associated with this functionality:
