In order for conversion from Creo to STEP format (e.g. in PLM Synchro) to work properly, some things have to be payed attention to.
With wrong settings holes, for example, are not correctly converted and then are not selectable (e.g. in Partial search).
If all settings are made as described in following notes, the individual features will be correctly converted.
For versions < V11 SP8 the Conversion path has to be adjusted:
iface.proewildfire,stp,partjava(;ExportTopoFeatures=1)
V11SP4, for example still has a wrong Conversion path:
iface.proewildfire,stp,partjava
The STEP Export Profile Settings
have to be correctly set in Creo and the export profile
has to be correctly entered in the config.pro file.
Call the
dialog STEP Export Profile
Settings via "File > Save As (Type=STEP) >
.
Under Application protocol, choose the option "ap214_is" and deactivate the option Hidden entities.
Save the
file def_profile.dep_step to
any location by clicking on (e.g. under
C:\Test).
Add the
following line with the appropriate path statement in the config.pro file.
export_profiles_step C:\Test\def_profile
In the case of PLM Synchro, for example, the run can now be performed.
