parameter : SET_STATE

Overview​

This video demonstrates the SET_STATE parameter command in Nitro-CELL, which sets the state of a parameter on a Creo model, such as suppressing or resuming it. Parameter state control is important for managing which parameters are active and visible in a model, particularly when working with configurable designs or family table-driven models. The command allows engineers to programmatically toggle parameter states from Excel without opening the Creo parameter dialog. The video covers specifying the parameter name and desired state, executing the command, and verifying the parameter state changed in the model.

Key Steps​

  1. Ensure the target model is open in the Creo session
  2. Enter the SET_STATE command with the parameter name and desired state
  3. Execute the command to change the parameter's state
  4. Verify the parameter state updated in the Creo model
  5. Save the model to preserve the state change

Tips​

  • Use this to suppress parameters that are not needed for a specific configuration
  • Combine with IS_DESIGNATED to manage parameter visibility in BOM tables
  • State changes take effect immediately but require a save to persist
