how to delete paramaters of a CAD Model

[dsahoo_2006]

Hello,


How to delete the locked PTC related parameters of a CAD Model.


I have created a CAD Part which has my clients parameters in it. I check in the part into the Windchill system and checked it out. I save a local copy. I see that there are 14 PTC related parameters added to the CAD Part. And when I see the parameters option from Wildfire it shows that all the 14 PTC related parameters are in a Locked state.


This CAD Part has to be checked in to the clients Teamcenter Engineering (iMan) system. Is there any way we can suppress or delete these parameters and then check the part into the Teamcenter system. With the current scenario what happens is that the CAD Model goes into the TCE environment and comes out without any problem but the tessellation of the CAD Part fails so as the creation of VisView file in TCE. This fails with errors.


Is there a way that a Toolkit program can be written to suppress these PTC related parameters from the CAD Model once it is downloaded from the Windchill system.


Please let me know as this is an urgent requirement. Thanks in advance.


Regards,


Deepak

Deepak,


Did my earlier suggestions to you not work?

As far as I know there is no way to delete Windchill parameters from a Pro/E model once it's exported out. You can delete Intralink parameters by setting the config option allow_create_pdm_param to yes but this will not work with Windchill parameters. Did you contact PTC regarding this issue?

Dear Patrick,


I just sent an email you explaining the current situation and also attached a sample part to see if you can help me more in this regard.


Thanks & Regards,


Deepak

I'm curious. Why would the existence of a few intralink parameters cause geometry tesselation to fail? Are these params being blamed because they arethe only visible change in the part, or does the error message make mention of these params? Are Teamcenter people doing the finger pointing?

That is exactly my question. Who is making these claims and on what basis?
