GetState Feature

Overview​

This video demonstrates the GetState Feature command in Nitro-CELL, which retrieves the current state of a specific feature in a Creo model. The state indicates whether the feature is active, suppressed, or in an error condition. This command is useful for building conditional workflows that need to check a feature's status before performing operations like resuming, suppressing, or deleting it. The video shows how to enter the command, interpret the returned state value, and use it to make decisions in the automation workflow. Understanding feature state helps engineers build more robust automation scripts.

Key Steps​

  1. Open the model containing the feature to check
  2. Enter the GetState Feature command with the feature name or ID
  3. Execute the command to retrieve the feature's current state
  4. Read the state value from the output column
  5. Use the state information to conditionally execute subsequent operations

Tips​

  • Use GetState before Suppress or Resume to check if the operation is needed
  • Combine with conditional logic to handle different feature states appropriately
  • This command is read-only and does not modify the model
