2.3.8.6. Conversions from Creo to "STEP" format

To ensure that conversions (of any kind, e.g. PLM-Synchro) from Creo to STEP format run correctly, various things must be taken into account:

If the setting is incorrect, holes, for example, are not displayed correctly and cannot be selected in Partial Search [Partial search], for example.

PRT (CREO PARAMETRIC) part with holes

PRT (CREO PARAMETRIC) part with holes

PARTdataManager: Holes not visible

PARTdataManager: Holes not visible

If all settings are made as described in following notes, the individual features will be correctly converted.

PARTdataManager: Holes correct

PARTdataManager: Holes correct

  • The conversion path must be adapted for versions < V11 SP8.

    iface.proewildfire,stp,partjava(;ExportTopoFeatures=1)

    Example PLM-Synchro: Node editor [Node Editor] > Conversion path

    Example PLM-Synchro: Node editor [Node Editor] > Conversion path

    V11SP4, for example, still has a conversion path [Conversion path]:

    iface.proewildfire,stp,partjava

    In this case, (;ExportTopoFeatures=1)must be added.

  • The STEP export profile settings must be set correctly in Creo and the export profile must be entered correctly in config.pro:

    1. Call up the dialog window STEP Export Profile Settingsvia "File > Save As (Type=STEP ) > Options ", for example.

    2. Under Application log, select the "ap214_is" option and deactivate the Hidden elements option.

    3. Click on Save Profile....

      -> The Save export profile dialog box opens.

    4. Use Save to save the file def_profile.dep_step to a location of your choice (e.g. under C:\Test).

    5. Insert the following line with the corresponding storage path in the config.pro file.

      export_profiles_step C:\Test\def_profile

      The filename has to be entered without file extension.

    6. In the case of PLM Synchro, for example, the run can now be performed.

    [Note]Note

    The procedure described should work as of Creo 4.
