Modified date Parameter (Creo 2.0)

sholennavar — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 14:01:18 GMT

Hello

I am preparing a template, in which i want to define a parameter for "Date" i.e 'Created Date" and "Modified Date"

The "Created date" will be unchanged even after n number of updates, so i used a parameter "&todays_date".

But problem comes for the "Modified Date", which needs to be updated for every revision of drawing updated,

So for that i used "PTC_WM_MODIFIED_ON" (a parameter already available by default in <Tools>-- <Parameters>

With this parameter i get Date and Time together, but i want date only.

Please see the attachment for clear understanding of my question.

Thank You

Regards

Sumeet

Use a relation with extract(PTC_WM_MODIFIED_ON,1,9) to get the date.

I presume that this parameter "PTC_WM_MODIFIED_ON" is and Windchill parameter as I can't get this to work in Creo Parametric.

Searching the forum's there still does not seem to be a simple solution for what must be a universal issue.

Create a relation like this:

SHORT_CREATED_ON = EXTRACT(PTC_WM_CREATED_ON,1,10)

SHORT_MODIFIED_ON = EXTRACT(PTC_WM_MODIFIED_ON,1,10)

In order to 'freeze' the Created date, you need some additional code.

/* INITIAL RELEASE PARAMETERS

/* SET INITIAL VALUES FOR DRAWING PARAMETERS FROM WINDCHILL

/* ONLY WHEN REV IS 0 <-Modify for your revision scheme

if PTC_WM_REVISION == "0"

INITIAL_CREATED_ON = SHORT_CREATED_ON

endif

You also do this same thing for Created_By

HI,

The following PTC Article will help and shows different options for formatting the date/time

As an example Use the following in your config.pro - date_type_parameter_format %dd-%mm-%yyyy

Excerpt from PTC Article on options: -

%yyyy 4-digit year (for example, 2015)
%yy 2-digit year (for example, 15)
%MMM Month (for example, SEP)
%Mmm Month (for example, Sep)
%Month Full month name (for example, September)
%mm Month number, padded to 2 digits (for example, 09)
%m Month number (for example, 9)
%dd Date, padded to 2 digits (for example, 05)
%d Date, no padding (for example, 5)
%Hh Hour number (for example, 04)
%mi Minute number (for example, 10)
%ss Second number (for example, 59)
%PM Adds anti meridian (AM)/post meridian (PM) designation (for example, PM)
