ptc creo collaboration extensions

[canno92]

Bye to all,
I am a siemens nx user, for work needs I should interface with I create someone knows how to explain to me better what this extension is for?
i.e. creo is able to export me a prt file as if mathematics and history were built in nx?

thanks to everyone in advance.

Premitting that I did not use it personally, but I was interested in it, the logic of operation from your point of view is this:
1) if the file you need to receive comes from a creo 3.0 user this will not be in neutral format, but it will be a part or native file.
2) Of course it will be completely devoid of modeling tree.
3) the only advantage you have compared to a neutral format is that you can incorporate this native file into your project. Suppose now that you manipulate this file or take it as a reference. in case your creo3 user sends you a review of that native file, any changes or what you built on it do not jump as in the case of a step file.
I'm sure, from the opposite point of view, I create works like this with nx. if you send me a file and the knob, when you send me the next revision the references are kept.
I hope I've been clear enough.
At the moment I believe that no native file of a cad can be read by a competing cad with the whole modeling tree.

I mean, at first, nothing changes to me. ..because I still have a body without feature.
the only thing is that if I change it and send me a new version, the model is updated keeping my features.
Right?
Thank you

Yes. It should be like that.
If you want tonight, I'll send you a Creo3 model. See if you can import it. You're doing a hole on it. I change something and I'll send it back to you and see if you miss the feature hole.

 

[canno92]

I'd love to.
I can only do it Monday though.

Thank you.

Here's the test file.

Here's the test file.View attachment 42267

I opened it with no problem, no matter but open. There is a possibility to import the file pro/e but I don't have the license, so I don't know if what you said is correct in this case. in case of simple opening is a body shooter.

 

[canno92]

Okay, I made you three holes.
I see a body.
Let's see if it updates.

 

[folle76]

Yes, but the proof I meant cannot be done like this.
I don't know nx, but you shouldn't open it. you should import my file as a feature in the tree of your nx file part (this file must have a path in your file system). then run the 3 holes on your file part of nx.
I pass the modified creo3 file, you overwrite it in your file system and when you reopen your nx part file you do not lose the references of the next 3 holes.
I think the logic of all this is this. If not so worth.. .

 

[canno92]

Okay, I did what you said. I imported it.
