SmartAssembly 12.0.0.0

datecode 2025-06-17-01

Enhancements

• Support of Creo 12.0.

datecode 2025-11-21-01

Enhancements

• New command CONVERT_DRW_POS_TO_LOCGRID to convert a given coordinate on a drawing to its location inside the specified location grid.

• Enhanced commands ZOOM_TO_REF and ZOOM_TO_POS to work in drawings.

• New reference type COMPONENT_TYPE which can be used in SEARCH_MDL_REFS.

• The command GET_DRW_VIEW_DIM_REFS is now also providing references created by interceptions.

• New command GET_DRW_VIEW_SECTION_HATCH_ITEMS to retrieve all hatched items of a drawing view section.

• New option HATCH_ITEM for the commands GET_DRW_VIEW_SECTION_HATCH and SET_DRW_VIEW_SECTION_HATCH to determine which hatched item to use.

• The commands CREATE_GENERAL_CSYS, READ_GENERAL_CSYS and MODIFY_GENERAL_CSYS are now also supporting orientation references.

• The command SHOW_HELP can now be updated when using a variable.

• New commands DESIGNATE_REF_PARAM and GET_REF_PARAM_DESIGNATION_STATUS which allows to designate annotations and annotation elements.

• New command EVALUATE_CONDITION to determine if a logical expression is evaluated as TRUE or FALSE.

• New members operation, use_construction_bodies and body_option for GENERAL_MERGE_STRUCT provide access to all sorts of operations. Also they allow to define the affected body and define if construction bodies from the source model should be included.

• New command UPDATE_SIMPREP allows to update substitutions of a simplified representation.

• The command SUBSTITUTE_SIMPREP is now able to change a substitution back to the master representation.

• License signatures and add-ons with the same name can now be used interchangeably.

Bugfixes

• The command GET_GENERAL_MERGE_FEATURE_NUM always returned 0 as result since 2024-12-23-01. This is fixed now.

• The command USER_DROP_DOWN and USER_LIST_BOX were not updated correctly when the number of inputs changed and the common number of inputs were identical. This is fixed now.

• The command SET_DIM_FRACTIONAL did not work correctly for drawing dimensions which have by default a name starting with add. This was caused by an error in Creo which is resolved in the Creo versions 9.0.11.0 / 10.0.9.0 / 11.0.5.0 / 12.4.0.0 and above.

• The commands XML_GET_NODE_TYPE, XML_GET_NODE_VALUE and XML_SET_NODE_VALUE did not work correctly for CDATA nodes. This is fixed now.

• The command MODIFY_GENERAL_CSYS failed to modify the offset type correctly. This is fixed now.

• The command ODBC_QUERY could freeze the Creo session for a PostgreSQL database with variable length strings. This is fixed now.

• In rare cases the command SET_DRW_SCALE caused crashes since Creo 10.0.9.0 / 11.0.5.0 / 12.4.0.0 when the drawing was created from template and a broken area was applied to a view. This issue was fixed, but the function could fail in these situation. It is recommended use SET_DRW_SCALE before SET_DRW_VIEW_BROKEN_AREA in this case.

• The command GET_NC_TOOL_TIPS did not provide the expected values for the NC_TOOL_TIP members offset_x, offset_z and angle. This is fixed now.

• The command UPDATE_ALL_DRW_SYMBOLS did not properly use the symbols from pro_symbol_dir path. This is fixed now.

• The command SHOW_HELP did not open a document correctly when it was specified with the "lib:" syntax. This is fixed now.

datecode 2025-12-03-01

Bugfixes

• The command ODBC_QUERY fails for ANSI strings in the datecode 2025-11-21-01. This is fixed now.

• The new reference type COMPONENT_TYPE in datecode 2025-11-21-01 did not work correctly. This is fixed now.

• In manufacturing mode the command MESSAGE_BOX_EX closes in some situations automatically. This is fixed now.

• The command READ_DRW_NOTE_EX failed in some cases of legacy data. This is fixed now.

• The command SEARCH_MDL_REF(S) found the drawing dimensions which are stored in the solid model (by Creo config option create_drawing_dims_only = no) for DIMENSION and SOLID_DIMENSION. This is fixed now.
