tbl_parameter : EXISTS

Overview​

This video demonstrates the tbl_parameter EXISTS command in Nitro-CELL, which checks whether specified parameters exist on multiple Creo models using a table-driven approach. The command reads from a table where each row specifies a model name and parameter names to check, then fills in boolean results indicating whether each parameter exists. This is useful for auditing parameter presence across a model library, identifying which models are missing required parameters. The video shows how to set up the audit table, execute the command, and interpret the results.

Key Steps​

  1. Create an Excel table with columns for model name and parameter names to check
  2. List the target models in the table rows
  3. Enter the tbl_parameter EXISTS command referencing the data table
  4. Execute the command to check parameter existence on all listed models
  5. Review the boolean results to identify models with missing parameters

Tips​

  • Use this command to audit parameter compliance across a model library
  • Combine with tbl_parameter SET_CREATE to fix models with missing parameters
  • The table format makes it easy to identify gaps in parameter standardization
