parameter : IS_DESIGNATED

Overview​

This video demonstrates the IS_DESIGNATED parameter command in Nitro-CELL, which checks whether a parameter on a Creo model is designated (marked as visible in BOM tables and reports). Designated parameters appear in Bill of Materials, repeat regions, and family table columns, making them accessible for documentation and reporting. This command returns a boolean indicating the designation status, which is useful for auditing models to ensure required parameters are properly configured for downstream BOM generation. The video shows how to specify the model and parameter name, execute the check, and interpret the result.

Key Steps​

  1. Ensure the target model is open in the Creo session
  2. Enter the IS_DESIGNATED command with the parameter name
  3. Execute the command to check the parameter's designation status
  4. Read the boolean result indicating whether the parameter is designated
  5. Use the result to identify parameters that need designation changes

Tips​

  • Designated parameters appear in BOM tables and repeat regions
  • Use this to audit models before generating Bills of Materials
  • Combine with SET_STATE or other parameter commands to fix designation issues
