Hi,

customizing fasteners is not supported for the lite version.

We only allow a set of parameter names:

Allowable Model Parameters

In addition the dat files cannot be modified. It is not possible to change the names of your fasteners.

The full version of IFX is now included inside the Creo Design packages.

Creo Packages | PTC Products

Thank you so much for the clarification, i have to set the parameter every time that i open a fastner or it's possibile to change the parameter once ?

You can customize the existing parameter values by changing them inside the *.dat (Fastener Data Files) file.

If your fastener already exist it will not be modified. Existing fasteners will always be reused if possible.

The modified parameters will only affect newly created fasteners.

So i can add a parameter in the Fastener Data Files of an existing fastner from "Allowable Model Parameters" and use it in the bom ?
For example, i can add PTC_WM_PART_NAME in the fastner data of a "din 912" and write my personal codification?

Yes, this is possible. But you should not use the PTC_* parameter.

They are reserved for PTC and they are normally locked.

I'm trying as shown in the picture by using the "PDMREV" parameter to add my code, i restart the program but i noticed as shown in the second picture that the new parameter does not appear in the parameter of the component.

I think using PDMREV is not possible.

All PRO*, PDM*, PTC*, MC*, ... parameters are reserved for use from Creo.

It is not possible to create a parameter with the name PDMREV.

You can modify the values for this parameters:

BUW_NAME
BUW_TYPE
BUW_SIZE
NAMING
DESIGNATION

If you require other parameter names, you have to purcase the full version.
