Nitro-PROGRAM, EXECUTE Statements - Video 1

Overview​

This video introduces EXECUTE statements in Pro/PROGRAM using Nitro-PROGRAM. EXECUTE statements define the order in which features are regenerated within a Creo model, controlling the model's build sequence. The video demonstrates how to view and manage EXECUTE entries through the graphical editor, showing how each statement corresponds to a feature in the model tree. It explains the relationship between the EXECUTE order and the model's regeneration behavior, and how Nitro-PROGRAM makes it easy to see and rearrange the execution sequence without manually editing the Pro/PROGRAM text file.

Key Steps​

  1. Open a Creo model and launch Nitro-PROGRAM to view the Pro/PROGRAM
  2. Navigate to the EXECUTE section to see the feature execution order
  3. Review how each EXECUTE statement maps to a feature in the model tree
  4. Understand the relationship between execution order and regeneration behavior
  5. Make adjustments to the execution sequence as needed

Tips​

  • The EXECUTE order directly affects how the model regenerates — changes can impact feature dependencies
  • Use Nitro-PROGRAM's visual list to quickly identify the regeneration sequence
  • Be cautious when reordering EXECUTE statements to avoid breaking parent-child relationships
