New Features / Enhancements
The following new features or enhancements have been introduced with this release.
Ref ID |
New Feature / Enhancement Description |
|---|---|
1 |
Multibody support improvement: solid bodies in parts are now published in Creo View as multibody nodes. All non-solid geometry is automatically consolidated under the parent node for improved structure readability. |
2 |
Default visibility support: CATIA V5 node visibility settings are published to Creo View. Handling of Instance-based visibility of components in assemblies is controlled by a recipe option. |
3 |
Datum Handling Improvement: Datum planes, lines and axes are now exported as dedicated datum types, enabling filtering in Creo View. |
4 |
For this release and future releases, the Theorem name has been replaced with SpinFire Convert which consequently means that the install location for all translators will point to C:Program FilesSpinFireSpinFire Convert\ by default. This path can be modified to point to the Theorem folder like previous translator versions if required. |
5 |
For this release and future releases, when exporting to Creo View interactively from within CATIA V5, the option that will need to be used is SpinFire Convert Export. This has replaced the previous option which was named Theorem Export. |
Known Limitations and Restrictions
The following limitations and restrictions have been identified during final testing prior to release.
Ref ID |
Limitations and Restrictions |
|---|---|
1 |
At this revision ‘Minimum Memory mode’ is deprecated. Going forward this will be removed. |
2 |
In some cases, when there are multiple instances of the same component and there are differences in the visibility state of the children within these instances, then the current default is to maintain the visibility state of the first instance when converting to Creo View, for example if the visibility state of a child in the first instance is hidden but is visible in the second instance, then the child will be hidden in both instances in Creo View after conversion. For more information please see the PTC knowledge article at https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS463381 |
Resolved Support Calls
The following list of Support Calls are resolved with this release.
Support Call ID |
Brief Description |
|---|---|
TH-1019 |
The Translator no longer ignores the translation of datum axes of skeleton parts. |
TH-1568 |
Geometry, PMI and captures now displayed correctly in the PDF add-on when both the PMI + Captures and tree_depth 1 options are applied. Within the recipe editor, the Visibility State option will also need to be set to disabled and the annotation_set_visibility_off option will need to be added to the additional options section in order for the correct PDF output to be produced. |
TH-1637 |
The translator now reads both the CATProduct and the representation CATPart that has assembly PMI. |
TH-2132 |
Datum planes now visible in the product structure in Creo View after translation. |
TH-2151 |
Additional JT files no longer created when Full Shatter is selected as the StructureOption in the JT configuration file with the option FS_remove_subnode applied, when JT files are created through the JT add-on. |
TH-2156 |
Additional file type 3DPDF now created when FileType=”3DPDF” is specified in the Job File when translating in Windchill. |
TH-2168 |
Duplicate adapter type values controlled by the SpinFire Convert translator now removed. For example, only 1 CATIA V5 adapter type is now displayed in the list. |
TH-2169 |
PDF output now created for CATDrawings. |
TH-2170 |
Mass properties on multi-body output now displayed correctly in Creo View. |
TH-2186 |
