    02-03.u: Import PTC Creo into AutoPIPE

    Applies To

    Problem:

    Can AutoPIPE import a file from PTC-Creo?

    Solution:

    PTC Creo provided the following chart of Creo's capabilities:


    According to this chart above, AutoPIPE CONNECT v.10.00.0010 and lower cannot import a model directly from PTC Creo. There seems to be 2 avenues, 

    1. From Creo save to Soildwoxs model format, open model in Solidworks, save  as PCF file, and import PCF file into AutoPIPE.

    2. From Creo save to AutoCAD Drawing model format, open model in AutoCAD, and then perform the process to "Import AutoCAD Coordinates" into AutoPIPE. 

    Otherwise, try to use other programs to manipulate a Creo file into an acceptable format that can be imported in to AutoPIPE. Acceptable AutoPIPE formats include the following:

    • AutoPLANT (PXF)
    • OpenPlant Modeler (PXF)
    • Caesar II Neutral (CII)
    • Aveva PDMS (CII)
    • Intergraph PDS (N)
    • ADLPipe (ADI)
    • Smart Plant (PCF)
    • CADWorx (PCF)
    • SolidWorks (PCF)
    • AutoDesk Inventor (PCF)
    • CATIA (PCF)
    • Autodesk Plant 3D (PCF)
