About the XML Checker

Creo Schematics 9.0.0.0 Help Center > Importing and Exporting Designs > About the XML Checker

When you export a design sheet using XML to either Piping or Cabling, you can check the parameter values of the shapes before you export them. When you export designs as XML to Piping or Cabling, the system automatically checks for mandatory and recommended parameters.
