How to Create a STEP File Using CADWorker

YA_10934201 — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 09:22:04 GMT

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS16

Is it possible to create a STEP file using CADWorker?
Additionally, when converting, is it possible to retrieve specific attributes from the CAD data and use the retrieved values as the file name?

An after loader hook can be created to change the file name. These articles illustrate a rename examples.

If this is Creo publishing, Genius Tools Model Processor Worker (MP Worker) is an alternative that doesn't require custom class files...

MP Worker integrates into Creo CAD Workers to produce anything Creo can export. Following an instruction set called an "Actions List", MP Worker can analyze or manipulate the model to produce CSV report files, PDFs, sheet metal flat state DXFs, neutral formats, etc. File names can be altered as desired, leveraging model parameters and regular expression replacement, before upload as Representation additional files. MP Worker can manipulate the Creo model, but cannot save or upload Creo model changes as that is prohibited by publishing.
