LayerDelete Model Wildcard

Overview​

This video demonstrates the LayerDelete Model Wildcard command in Nitro-CELL, which deletes a specified layer from multiple models matching a wildcard pattern. This is the bulk version of the DeleteLayer command, enabling efficient layer cleanup across many models at once. The video shows how to construct the wildcard pattern, specify the layer to delete, execute the command, and verify the layer was removed from all matching models. This is particularly useful during model standardization efforts where obsolete layers need to be removed from an entire model library.

Key Steps​

  1. Load all target models into the Creo session
  2. Enter the LayerDelete Wildcard command with the model pattern and layer name
  3. Execute the command to delete the layer from all matching models
  4. Review the status output to confirm which models were affected
  5. Save all modified models to persist the changes

Tips​

  • Verify the layer name is correct before running bulk deletion
  • Test with a narrow pattern first to confirm the correct models are targeted
  • Combine with other layer commands for comprehensive layer standardization workflows
