Common configuration information for Creo plugins

  • Creo cannot work with UNC paths.

    This is a security issue in all installations.

    It is not possible for 3Dfindit to rectify this.

    Mount a network share for the CADENAS installation and the pool directory.

  • Configuration of the following interface options 

    [CreationOptions]
PoolPath
TemplateName
ThreadUDFFile
DraftUDFFile
sweepAddUdfFile
sweepSubUdfFile
MassUdfFile
MassUdfPDM

[INTERFACE]
insertsymmacro
insertsecmacro
insertsketchmacro
NativeCheckoutPool
MetafileName

  • Common information on attribute mapping

    Custom attributes supported by this CAD are: (you may combine attributes separated by comma)

    • DESIGNATED -> designated attribute for PDM

    • READONLY -> attribute is readonly

    • BOOLEAN -> boolean value

    • INTEGER ->Integer

    • DOUBLE -> Decimal digit

    • STRING -> string value

The most important information is found in the single blocks and keys and the configuration file itself.

Below you will find general information on some blocks and keys.

Syntax and essential concepts can be found at Section 3.2, “Cross-CAD information ”.

[Note]Note

Changes to configuration files should only be made by experienced users or CADENAS consultants.
