In general:
When a frame is added to a PTC Creo drawing, but the frame parameter are not yet defined resp. available on the drawing or its corresponding model, PTC Creo changes such frame parameter to normal text strings.
As soon as PTC Creo has done this these frame parameter are not usable as parameter any longer.
Solution possibilities:
- Predefine parameter in the Setting dialog of the SAP Ectr interface to PTC Creo, last page of the dialog.
After the parameter are defined stop and restart the session.
The predefined parameter are set when a frame is added using the SAP Ectr interface to PTC Creo function "Add Frame". - Add the model with all defined parameter to the drawing at first before you add the frame to the drawing.
- Define all parameter at the drawing at first before you add the frame to the drawing.
Note:
To solve this issue please ensure that all frame parameter are defined on the drawing or its corresponding model before you add the frame to the drawing.
As described it is important that the parameter are defined and available before a frame is added to a drawing.
