GetLayerStatus Model

Overview​

This video demonstrates the GetLayerStatus Model command in Nitro-CELL, which retrieves the current display status of a specified layer in a Creo model. The command returns whether the layer is currently shown or hidden, allowing engineers to check layer visibility before making changes. This is useful for building conditional workflows that need to verify layer states before toggling visibility. The video shows how to enter the command, interpret the returned status, and use it in automation logic.

Key Steps​

  1. Open the model containing the layer to check
  2. Enter the GetLayerStatus command with the layer name
  3. Execute the command to retrieve the layer's display status
  4. Read the status value from the output column
  5. Use the status to conditionally execute ShowLayer or HideLayer commands

Tips​

  • Use GetLayerStatus before toggling layers to avoid unnecessary operations
  • Combine with conditional logic for smart display configuration workflows
  • This command is read-only and does not modify the model
