Importing Creo® Parametric™ or PRO/ENGINEER® Data Interactively in VPM

This task shows you how to import data Interactively into VPM

  • A V5 application (ENOVIA DMU, ENOVIA 3d com, CATIA or DELMIA) has to be installed correctly.
  • We will not describe in this section how to set-up the Multi-CAD server (XCAD) on VPM. For any information please report to the VPM Documentation (Customizing Multi-CAD).
  • Creo® Parametric™ or PRO/ENGINEER® parts must have a .prt extension. Only single parts can be imported.

  1. Check-in Creo® Parametric™ or PRO/ENGINEER® parts into VPM:

  2. Ensure that the VPM XCAD server set-up on your VPM installation is well configured.

  3. Modify the V5 environment (ENOVIA DMU, ENOVIA 3d com, CATIA or DELMIA) in order to connect V5 to Creo® Parametric™ or PRO/ENGINEER® as explained in the Environment Documentation.

  4. Launch the XCAD server.

  5. Launch VPM.

  6. Check-in *.prt file by using Create&Save.

  7. Check-in Creo® Parametric™ or PRO/ENGINEER® parts into VPM.

After check-in you can send the unique cgr to V5.
Updating checked-in documents:
The Update Representations function can be used with Creo® Parametric™ or PRO/ENGINEER® *.prt  files.
