Nitro-CELL Input Command Syntax V10 and Later

Overview​

This video explains the input command syntax used in Nitro-CELL version 10 and later releases. It covers how commands are structured within Excel worksheet cells, including the command name, target object, and parameter arguments. The updated syntax in V10 introduces improvements for clarity and consistency across all supported Creo operations. Each command follows a defined pattern where the function keyword is placed in one column and its arguments occupy adjacent columns. The video walks through the column layout, required versus optional fields, and how Nitro-CELL parses each row to build the corresponding Creo instruction. Understanding this syntax is essential for writing correct automation scripts and avoiding common errors when constructing command tables.

Key Steps​

  1. Review the updated V10 command syntax structure and column layout
  2. Identify the command keyword column and argument columns in the worksheet
  3. Enter commands using the correct syntax pattern for each operation type
  4. Understand which arguments are required versus optional for each command
  5. Validate your command rows before execution to catch syntax issues early

Tips​

  • Refer to the Nitro-CELL command reference for the exact syntax of each supported operation
  • Pay attention to column order — arguments must be placed in the correct columns for proper parsing
  • Use the built-in validation features to check for syntax errors before running your automation
