PTC Creo ModelCheck Teacher: Layer Checks

Layers are a means of grouping items and then performing operations on them as a group such as
displaying or blanking, plotting, selecting, and suppressing.
What Creo ModelCHECK does with layers
• Report information—Lists all the layers and the number of items on them.
• Display status—Checks the display status of the standard named layers. If a layer is found to
have the wrong display status, a Set Status button in the layer report will allow for automatic
correction of the layer.
• Standard items—Checks that layers have the standard items on them. If items are found that are
on the wrong layer, or not on any layer when they are supposed to be on a specific one, an Add
button in the layer report will allow for automatic movement of items to their proper layers.
• Legacy layers—If configured to do so, a Move button in the layer report will allow you to
move all items from an old or legacy layer to a new layer. Creo ModelCHECK will then delete
the old layer.
