tbl_feature : GET_TYPE_IDS

Overview​

This video demonstrates the tbl_feature GET_TYPE_IDS command in Nitro-CELL, which retrieves feature type IDs from models listed in an Excel table. For each model row in the table, the command queries Creo to get the feature types and their corresponding IDs, writing the results back to the worksheet. This is useful for auditing model feature structures, identifying specific feature types across multiple models, or building feature-based automation logic. The video shows how to set up the data table, execute the command, and interpret the returned feature type and ID information.

Key Steps​

  1. Create an Excel table with model names to query
  2. Enter the tbl_feature GET_TYPE_IDS command referencing the data table
  3. Execute the command to retrieve feature type IDs from each model
  4. Review the feature type and ID data written to the worksheet
  5. Use the data for feature auditing or targeted feature operations

Tips​

  • Feature IDs are unique within each model and can be used for targeted operations
  • Useful for identifying feature types before running suppress or delete commands
  • Combine with other tbl_feature commands for bulk feature management
