SetCreate Parameter

Overview​

This video demonstrates the SetCreate Parameter command in Nitro-CELL, which sets a parameter value on the active Creo model and automatically creates the parameter if it does not already exist. This combines the functionality of checking for existence, creating the parameter, and setting its value into a single command. SetCreate is the preferred command for bulk parameter workflows where some models may have the parameter and others may not. The video shows how to specify the parameter name, value, and data type in the execution worksheet, and demonstrates how the command handles both existing and new parameters seamlessly.

Key Steps​

  1. Open the target model in the Creo session
  2. Enter the SetCreate Parameter command with the name, value, and data type
  3. Execute the command — it will create the parameter if missing, then set the value
  4. Verify the parameter exists with the correct value in Creo
  5. Save the model to persist the new or updated parameter

Tips​

  • Use SetCreate instead of Set when working with models that may not have the parameter yet
  • Specify the correct data type (string, integer, real) to ensure proper parameter creation
  • SetCreate is ideal for standardizing parameters across a mixed set of models
