Concept: Updating Creo Parametric with New Creo

Schematics Data
Updating Creo Parametric with New Creo Schematics Data
When a Creo Schematics diagram or other logical source has been updated, you can propagate the changes
in Creo Parametric. With Creo Schematics, you first import the new XML file that was exported from Creo
Schematics. You can then perform the following steps to update the data in Creo Parametric:

1. Detect changes using a logical compare.

Figure 1 – New, Unmatched Logical Data

2. Make routing modifications if necessary.

3. Check progress of modification using logical compare.

In Figure 2, you can see the routed wiring in the original design.

In Figure 3, you can now see the updates that have been made in Creo Schematics and propagated into
Creo Parametric.

Figure 3 – Viewing Wires After the Update

The following updates have been made:

1. Two wire spools were changed.

2. Two wires were moved to different connector ports.

3. A new wire was routed.

Referencing and Managing Logical Information

You can reference and manage logical information from the Logical Data group. Options in the Logical Data
group include the following:

• Import — Enables you to import logical data from an ASCII wire list file. The following types of files can
be imported:
◦ RS Designer — Enables you to import an *.xml file.

◦ PTC Neutral — Enables you to import an *.nwf file.

◦ Mentor Graph

• Clear Reference — Clears all logical information from the current model.

• Compare — Creates a text window comparing imported logical data with the 3-D model data.

• Update — Updates previous logical data with new logical data.
