Nitro-PROGRAM, INPUTS - Video 1

Overview​

This video covers how to create and manage INPUT statements in a Pro/PROGRAM using Nitro-PROGRAM. INPUTS define the prompts that appear when a user regenerates a model, allowing them to supply values that drive the model's configuration. The video demonstrates how to add INPUT entries through the graphical editor, specify the parameter each input is tied to, and define the prompt text displayed to the user. It shows how Nitro-PROGRAM makes it straightforward to set up interactive design intent, where end users can control model behavior by responding to input prompts during regeneration without ever touching the Pro/PROGRAM text directly.

Key Steps​

  1. Open a Creo model and launch Nitro-PROGRAM to access the Pro/PROGRAM
  2. Navigate to the INPUTS section of the program editor
  3. Add a new INPUT entry and link it to an existing parameter
  4. Define the prompt text that will be displayed during model regeneration
  5. Write the program and regenerate the model to test the input prompt

Tips​

  • INPUT prompts should be clear and descriptive so users know what value to enter
  • Each INPUT must reference a parameter that exists in the model
  • Test your inputs by regenerating the model to verify the prompts appear correctly
