Description

  • Unable to export STEP in Creo Parametric with graphic annotations using toolkit functions API
  • The function ProOutputFileWrite( ..., PRO_STEP_FILE,... ) will not export the cosmetic GROOVE feature geometry to step
  • The function ProOutputFileWrite( ..., PRO_STEP_FILE,... ) ignores the setting of the config.pro option "intf3d_out_anno_as graphic".
  • In User Interface setting the  configuration "intf3d_out_anno_as graphic" will allow that the cosmetic groove on sheetmetal parts could be exported to STEP files,
  • But there is no possibility to do this with toolkit funktions "ProIntf3DFileWrite" or "ProOutputFileWrite".
  • Although configuration "intf3d_out_anno_as" is set to "graphic" no cosmetic grove is exported by software.
  • The cosmetic groove info is important for manufacturing.
