tbl_model : OPEN

Overview​

This video demonstrates the tbl_model OPEN command in Nitro-CELL, which opens multiple Creo models from an Excel table. Each row in the table specifies a model filename to open, and the command processes all rows to load each model into the Creo session. This is the table-driven equivalent of the single Open Model command, designed for workflows that need to open a batch of models before performing further operations. The video covers setting up the model list table, executing the command, and verifying all models loaded into the Creo session.

Key Steps​

  1. Create an Excel table listing the model filenames to open
  2. Ensure all model files are accessible in the working directory or specified paths
  3. Enter the tbl_model OPEN command referencing the data table
  4. Execute the command to open all listed models in Creo
  5. Verify all models loaded successfully in the Creo session

Tips​

  • Ensure model files exist in the working directory or provide full paths
  • Use tbl_application LIST_FILES to dynamically build the model list
  • This is typically the first tbl_ command in a batch automation workflow
