Delete Parameter Wildcard

Overview​

This video demonstrates the Delete Parameter Wildcard command in Nitro-CELL, which removes a specified parameter from multiple models matching a wildcard pattern in a single operation. This is the bulk version of the Delete Parameter command, enabling efficient cleanup of obsolete parameters across many models at once. The video shows how to construct the wildcard pattern, specify the parameter to delete, execute the command, and verify the parameter was removed from all matching models. This command is particularly useful during parameter standardization efforts where old or deprecated parameters need to be removed from an entire model library.

Key Steps​

  1. Load all target models into the Creo session
  2. Enter the Delete Parameter Wildcard command with the pattern and parameter name
  3. Execute the command to remove the parameter from all matching models
  4. Review the status output to confirm which models were affected
  5. Save all modified models to persist the deletions

Tips​

  • Use caution with broad wildcard patterns to avoid deleting parameters from unintended models
  • Test with a narrow pattern first to verify the correct models are targeted
  • Combine with Exists Parameter checks for safer bulk deletion workflows
