tbl_model : DRW_EXPORT_FAIR

Overview​

This video demonstrates the tbl_model DRW_EXPORT_FAIR command in Nitro-CELL, which exports Creo drawings to First Article Inspection Report (FAIR) format using data from an Excel table. The command reads a structured table where each row specifies a drawing to export, then generates the corresponding FAIR output for each entry. This table-driven approach streamlines the creation of inspection documentation across multiple drawings in a single execution. The video walks through setting up the data table with the required columns, entering the tbl_model DRW_EXPORT_FAIR command, running the export, and verifying the generated FAIR output files.

Key Steps​

  1. Create an Excel table with columns for the drawing names and export settings
  2. Populate the table with the target Creo drawings to export as FAIR documents
  3. Enter the tbl_model DRW_EXPORT_FAIR command referencing the data table
  4. Execute the command to generate FAIR exports for each drawing in the table
  5. Verify the exported FAIR files were created in the specified output location

Tips​

  • Ensure all referenced Creo drawings are accessible in the working directory or session before running the export
  • Use consistent naming conventions in your table to keep FAIR output files organized
  • Review the status column after execution to confirm each drawing exported successfully
