Hello again Creo fans!

I've been encountering a lot of migration type work requests lately and there always seems to be issues with the data that is trying to be put into Windchill.  I have taken it upon myself to start making some high level scripts to get you going in regards to cleaning up your data before you get it into Windchill.  The first of (many?) scripts to come deals with regeneration errors and locating missing components.  Check it out and stay tuned for more.​

Hello again Creo+PowerShell Followers!

Are you one of those Creo people or know one who leaves their files all over the place?  Do you find it impossible and frustrating when trying to locate a file to work on?  I may have the solution for you!

Today, I am going to show you a fairly simple script that will locate the latest copy of each uniquely named Creo file and copy it to a user-defined folder.  Take this as a chance to start over by having all of your files in the same location.  You can also use this script to see what folders contain Creo files if you want to make sure you have added all relevant search paths to your config.pro.

Creo 4.0 and PowerShell - Part 3: Adding, Updating, and Designating Parameters

I have seen many customers faced with this issue when they first start using Windchill.  They realize that they can search parameter values in Windchill and they either have never used them or they have but have not designated them.  Usually, they check everything into their new system and tell everyone to update parameters as they modify files.  We all know that will take forever and can be very stressful.

For Part 3, I am going to show you how to automate adding, updating, and designating parameters in your Creo files.  I promise it will be faster than your mapkeys.
